The sIrrepressible Conflict

The late disgracefuI insurrection at
Harper's Ferry, is the legitimate fruit Of
the lawless, reckless spirit of fanaticism
which reigns in the bosom of the Aboli.
tionists of the North, and ever and anon
breaks forth in the speeches and writings
of Giddings, Phillips, Smith, Burlingame,
and their followers.
These men profess to be conteEdiEg for
the great principle that Cali men are
created free and equal" they look to the
South and see four million negroes in
bondage; they must be liberated; the
great principle of freedom must be ap.
piled to them; and our would-be reform
ers must march to their rescue if it is to be
done over the dead bodies, and through
the hearts blood of every white citizen Of
the South.
In their moments of fanatic frenzy they
give utter nee to sentiments which they
cannot wish to see carried into effect: sen.
i'Olh tHO ItSl vi
which every honest heart must shrink.
When the pious Joshua gave utterance
to that memorable prophecy.
ri look forward to the day when there
shall be a servile insurrection in the South;
when the black man shall assert his free
dom and wage a war of determination
against his master; when the torch of the
incendiary shall light.up the towns and
cities of the South and blot out the last
vestige of slavery. And though l may
not mock at their calamity, nor laugh
when their fear cometh, yet will hail it as
the dawn of political millennium"
little did the honest hearted part ot
the abolition party wish to see its fulfill
that SO long as great men make threats,
or even hint them, little, mean spirited
men will be found to carry those threats
into execution. A superabundance OF
"bile"in Giddings, will work itself off in
some such speech as the above extract;
while in the low, vulgar, part of the abo-
lition party it must work off eventually
in insurrection and bloodshed.
Redpath, in the New York Tribune
said: 1--WE must incite Instructions
amongst the slaves" An insurrecticn
has been melted, and Mr.. r. and his
brethren can see its effects in murdered
freemcn.
We believe, with the abolitionists, that
slavery is a moral evil; but We do no,
believe that it should be destroyed by a
greater evil We believe that the prin.
ciple os freedom should extend to the whole
human race; but we do not believe that
the coming of the millennium will be In any
degree, hurried on by the efforts of such
horse thieving, numbering. lawless, rene.
gades as "Ossawattomie Brown and bis
confederates. -s .
To our Republican friends, who are Civ.
en- to voting for these abolition insurrec.
tion instigators, we would say, beware
Think before you fur thev CO."

SOME of the opposition press, says the Standard,
turn up their noses at Dr. Downey, because he is
an Irishman because he is the countryman of
Swift, Burke, of Sheridan, of Curran and Emmet ;
because he was born in the land of poetry, of
oratory. of wit and humor land which has pro-
duced more genius, more true nobility and worth
than these narrow minded localists have soul to
comprehend That such prejudices should be
entertained by the inhabitants of a country vii
lage, to whom the sun has always appeared to
rise and set in the corporation limits, we can
readily magne-but how man could contain
such contracted views in travelling to California,
unless he came by the underground railroad, is

head of Main street, the most completely arrang-

every mountain town in the State, we presume
his opinion is well founded. Loomis Co. do an
excellent business, and sell meat at a very small
advance above cost. We have been told by an
employee of the house, that the choicest beef is
furnished at from l23 to l8 cents. and that on
the arrival of large lot of cattle lately purchas
ed by Mr.. Loomis' brother, Sacramento Valley
stock dealer that prices will be still further re-
duced. They buy their cattle in large quantities,
for cash, and consequently sell at reduced prices

WHEREAS, AT A MASS MEETING of the
w Anti-Lecompton Democrats of Trinity, con-
vene3 at Weavervile, Saturday, June 4th, for
the purpose Of choosing delegates to the State
Convention, and assigning the time for holding
the County Convention it was decided that the
23d day of July be the day for making nomna-
tions for all the county offices to be filled at the
coming election. In order that thorough and
complete organization of the opponents of the
Administration Democracy shall be effected
throughout the county, it is desirable that every
precinct shall be fully represented in convention
All who are opposed to the present Administra
ton, and wish to unite in presenting good ticket
to the voters of the county, respectfully urged
to attend. Select delegates in every precinct in
time for the Convention of the 23d of July, in
Weaverville.

How WE GET THE LATEST NEws-Through
the kindness of Mr.. Brown, Wells, Fargo q Co. s
agent at Marysville, and Greenhood & Newbauer,
here, we receive, daily, the Marysvlle Express
and Democrat, which we prize very much on ac-
count of the late news they bring. The Marys-
lille papers are generally received in 80 hours
after publication and very often bringing later
telegraphic intelligence than the Sacramento
papers. Many other of the lower country papers
are received in the same way. We consider it a
very great exhibition of kindness on the part of
the above named Expresses, especially of GREEN
HOOD & NEwBAUER, who are prompt in delivering
the same, without any remuneration. We thank
them for Overland papers furnished this week.

VERY UNDIGNIFIED.-The Sacramento Bee took
occasion, Immediately after Mr.. Burch's nomina-
tion by the Democratic State Convention, to speak
in very unjust and malignant manner of that
gentleman, and his qualifications for the high po-
siton for which he has been chosen. Had the
article in question been read in paper openly
protesting opposition to Democracy, it might
have seemed less vindctive but from the Bee, a
professedly Independent newspaper it did not
come with good taste. If we may believe all
that paper says. ". Burch did very wrong in
accepting the nomn alton the convention which
elected him by large majority received no cen
sure for their action, in placing him in nomna-
tion. While we have no particular sympathy for
the party which placed Mr.. Burcb in nomination,
we have always believed that personal denunca-
tion like that indulged in by the Bee cannot but
result beDefcally to the person assailed.

SOMETHING TO LIVE For" There is no man de-
serving of the name, with the courage to attempt
and the resolution to achieve, who may not find
in life some aim worthy of all his energies, in the
struggle for which, the distress, the poverty, the
lttleness which press around him are forgotten
True courage does not lie down on the battle
field to die, but struggles bravely on to the end !;
or, if it falls by the way, falls not by its own base
act but before the fiat of that irresistible power
which guides and governs all things wisely and
