nGTWill the Empire please inform as
what II means by a Clay'Domocrat - Ga
zette.
Certainly. One who formerly followed the
fortunes Of the "Great Embodiment and
who, up to the last moment of his life, op'
posed his slaughter by his pretended friends
and the absorption of the Whigparty by the
Abolitonists one who now finds "more
sentiments in common" with the democracy
than either ho or his "Idol' ever had with
the present miserable trucking to q fanatic
cism which, while they make it profitable,
they despise. Finally man who, while
he may not agree with the Democracy in de-
tail, infinitely prefers their creed to that Of
the sectional opposition, whom he believes
are with the hope of reward and at the in'
stigation of the niggers, the nesh and the
devil, bent on bringing the country to ruin.
Henry Clay was an opponent Of the prin-
ciple that constitutes the liIe-blood of the
Republican party. Anticipating just such
O crisis as now exists in the Union, he de-
clared en- the floor of the Senate, that when
It did come he would be found in the ranks
Of the Democratic party, in opposition to
the janus>faccd party and it's niger doc
trines-that he was in favor Of the Union
and union measures, and that the Demo-
cratic was the only party that sustained
such doctrines. The victory in Kentucky
in this view of the case, will be truly q
Clay Democratic victory.

From the Marysville Express.
William Walker.

This individual is we'll known to the early
settlers of this city. He established himself
here and pursued the profession of the law.
But the restless spirit was ever lowering in
his breast, and his brain was constantly
brought into active exercise in regard to the
furtherance Of his spirit of conquest A
portion of country on the lower coast was
pleasing to his eye, and with an armed force
he attempted to establish himself within its
domnions. But in this he was unsuccessful
He cast longing eye upon the prolific soil
of Central America-he gathered brave
spirits around him, and, by his determined,
unrelenting character, succeeded in securing
many who were willing to stake their lives
in aiding him in his encroachments. Once,
yea twice, they followed him through scenes
of famine, sickness and bloodshed. AL
though he has been SO often repelled, the
star of his ambition has not lost its lustre,
and he appears to have no difficulty in secur.
ing band of adventures, who are willing
to set the laws at defiance and march in the
valley of death.
Walker is Of very cold, selfish disposi
ton, has few if any confidants, natures his
own plans, and keeps his own counsels Of
an indomitable will and energy, and posses
sed Of bravery that never quakes, he succeeds
in enlisting others to place their fortunes in
his hands and rely upon his skill for their
prosperity. He is now engaged in another
expedition against the country Of which he
has determined to be the conqneror, but
with what success, time only can determine.
We are inclined to the belief that Uncle
Sam will wrest him from the seas.
True, Walker has indomtable will and
bulldog perseverance, but he is altogether
wanting in military genius, and totally unfit
for the leadership of a military expedition.
In all his campaigns he never succeeded in
holding an inch of territory beyond that his
troops stood upon, and acquired by the most
desperate fighting. Cold and selfish, he
never possesses the love of his men, but has
from them kind of fearful respect. The
oppressed people in whose behalf he has
from time to time invaded Nicaragua, hate
and execrate his name, when, if he in reality
was their benefactor he would possess their
affection. His former campaigns, however,
convinced the Nicaraguans, that this fill
clustering savior of their country, WAS no.
thing more nor less than selfish tyrant.
They were correct and we are heartily glad
they succeeded in expe!ling him from the
country.
Walker is the worst humbug of the day.

HELIOGRAPHY.

NNHE subscriber takes this method of informing
Il the citizens of California that he has re-
fitted his rooms, and is now prepared to take al!
kinds of Pictures known to the Photographic Art,
unsurpassed in the world; that he has made spe-
cial arrangements for persons coming from dis
tant parts of the State and would say TO all such
that provided perfect satisfaction is not given he
will not only not charge for work. but will pay
them for their time and trouble in calling.
These arrangements have been made in view of
the fact that the country is ocked with unskilful
operators, whose work is not only wanting in che
mical effect, and everything that constitutes q
good picture but owing to the improper use of
the chemicals employed, they are rendered perish
able and worthless.
TO avoid the impostions practiced, the citizens
of this and adjoining counties, and travellers are
most respectfully invited to call on him at his
rooms. in Grass Valley, where he will be found
ready, at all times, and in all kinds of weather,
to take pictures in the best style by all the vari
Gus processes now known, some of which are as

Gen. Houston on the Administration

The following remarks were made by Gen.
Sam. Houston, in speech delivered at
Nagodoches, Texas, just before the opening
of the campaign when he run for Governor.
AS some doubt has been expressed as to the
views of Gen. Houston on the Administra-
ton, we copy the following extract:
Mr.. Buchanan's election gratiied me-
The result showed that he united the strength
that defeated the Black Republicans, and
that was the great end which | wished at
tanned l am now denounced for support
ING an Administration which the Democratic
party placed in power, which the people of
Texas helped to create by a majority of
eighteen thousand. Admit that as whole,
| sustained the Administration. Is it not
an evidence Of my Democracy--of my re
gard for the will of the people! What if Mr..
buchanan did say as is charged, General
Houston, you have given my Administration
as cordial support as any Democrat in
Congress, and l am thankful for it," Is it a
sin for Democratic President to appreciate
the support of man, even though his name
be Sam Houston?

OBERL1N ABoLTIoNIsM.-So embttered is
Oberlinsm to anything Southern that at one
time the faculty and students resolved to use
no produce of slave labor; of course they
cut cotton and eschcwed tobacco altogether.
An ardent young student, deeply imbued
with this anti slavery sentiment, happened to
think one night, after retiring to bed, that
he was between pair of cotton sheets.
Out he jumped, took blanket, and slept on
the floor until morning. 1t was rather a
hard bed, but it was better to rest little, and
turn over often, than to snooze all night iu
the sweat of negro. Upon waking up in
the morning, he found that the carpet on
which he had slept was half cotton.

same in all those valleys Of the State where
wheat has been raised every year since 1850

change in the crop, has reduced the produc

thirty or forty bushels per acre, with sh"llo"

the present crop was 80 bushels per acre, Of
