not be we'll 70 reorganize our Lyceum p
There is no question but that q lyceum,
properly conducted, would be source Of
much pleasure to eur citizens. 1t may be
urged BY some that our Lycenm last vim

lack of interest owing to the discussion of
political subjects? We believe it was;
and we feel that this difficulty could now
be obviated and that much good and pleas.

STOPPING NEwsPApERs-A certain man
hit his toe against a pebble'stono and fell
to the ground. He was vexed, and under
the influence Of anger and active selfsuf.
ticiency, he kicked old mother earth sau.
ely. With impur,srable gravity he looked
to see the globe itself dissolve, and come
to nausht. But the earth remained, and
only his poor foot was injured in the en-
counter. This is the way of man. A
newspaper article touches him in a weak
place; and straishtway he sends word to
stop his paper. With self comp laccncy he
looks on to see a crash, when the object
of his splen shall cease to be. Poor fool,
he has only hit his toe against the world,
that does not perceptibly feel the shock,
and Injuries to no exten, any but himself.
WANTED.-A young lady Of good per
sonal appearance, twenty seven years Of
age, far English education, with about
six hundred dullars at her command, is
DESTROYS of forming a matrimonial ALI,
ance. She would prefer young man
between twenty-five and thirty years Of
age, but will not object to receiving pro
gosals from widowers without children, or
whose families are small None bat those
who are industrious aud strictly temperate
need apply.

REGULAR DEMOCRAT.

NEGLECTED SUBJECTS. THE Morning
Call, of Dec. 14th, under the above head,
speads some exceedingly sensible remarks
before its readers. We borrow them for
ours:
1t must be evident to all that, as a COM
munity, we have been extremely negligent
in one particular, at least, and that is in the
matter of internal Improvements. We VEN
ture to say that there is not another country
in the world where so little has been done
by the inhabitants toward developing the
resources of the State and furnishing accom-
modations to its population for travel and
other purposes. While California has be-
come wealthy, both in commercial treasure
and in population, and while it has contrib
uted millions and millions to the wealth of
other countries, while it has materially aid
ed in constructing canals, railroads, ETC., in
other States, it has done nothing to advance
its own interests in these respects. That
we have, as yet, no system of internal i'm
provements is surprising, especially as q
comparison with works of like character
in other States furnishes almost conclusive
evidence that investments in similar enter
prises here would yield a handsome per
centage. Why is it that men of capital do
not take more interest in the construction
of railroads and other works calculated to
add to the wealth of the State, we cannot
conceive. The only work of the kind we
can boast of-the Sacramento Valley Rail-
road and the Mission Railroad-have prov
eE to be the most profitable investments of
the kind known-the poorest paying at
least thirty per cent. on the original cost.
When we reflect that these roads were con-
structed under the highest rates of wages,
and that neither Of them are the most fav-
orably located, we are surprised that men
of means have not before this availed them
selves of the favorable opportunities always
offering, even in this country where money
commands from one to four per cent. per
month. Especially is it surprising that
those owning an interest in the soil Of the
State have not given more attention to this
subject of internal Improvements, and have
not given more encouragement to railroads
and other works. Such enterprises are CAL
culated to enhance the value of land already
occupied, to increase the population, to add
more land to that already under cultivation,
to develope many sources of prosperity now
lying idle, to add TO the wealth of the State
generally, and thereby contribute to the
comfort and happiness of the population.
This matter of home improvement has heen
neglected long enough and it Is high time
that those having vested interests in the
country should awake to the Importance OF
the subject. Rich and poor, merchant and
mechanic, laborer and lawyer, all would be
immeasurably benefited by the Inaugural
| ton of wise system of public improve
ments calculated to increase the facilities
! for communication between interior loeali-
ties and this, the principal seaport of the
| State.

FALSE IMPREssIoN.-The Cotton States la
Dor under the impression that the world
must purchase their cotton or go naked
From lecture recently delivered in New
York by the Reverend J. c. Fletcher, we learn
that the valley of the Amazon is the largest
and best cotton growing country on the
globe. The valley of the Amazon exceeds
in size that Of the entire region watered by
the Mississippi and its tributaries by some
six hundred thousand square miles. 1t lies
under the equator and a very large propor-
ton of 1t is cotton land. While cotton
growing in the United States is confined to
u small strip comparatively, embracing the
southern tier of States in the Union, and
not containing in the aggregate more than
three hundred and fifty thousand square
miles, on very small part Of which cotton
can be grown with success, the cotton lands
of Brazil are found in large bodies in vast
country embracing more than three mill
ions four hundred thousand square miles
Dissolve the Union and there is no incentive
for the Northern manufacturer to purchase
his cotton of the Southern States. 1t can
be grown cheaper in Hazil and in quanti-
ties to glut the market Of the manufactur-
ing world. The Brazillians want our steam
engines, machinery, and fabrics, and when
once the articles are introduced they will
become a necessity, and the demand will
increase. That vast country watered by
the Amazon, in the event of dissolution
of the Union, is bound to furnish gigantic
market for Yankee and English manufact-
ures, and to that portion of the world will
the enterprize of the commercial world be
turned before many years clapse. The field
is too grand not to be soon explored.

WANTS TO Run FOR GovKRNoR.-A writer
in the Hydraulic Press, over the signature
of "a Broderick Democrat" accounts for
Humphrey Griffith running ahead Of his
fellows on the Douglas electoral ticket. He
says Griffith is welshman, mingled freely
with bis countrymen at North San Juan and
elsewhere during his stuping peregrinations
last fall and asked them to vote for him, II
for no one else ON the ticket, because he
wanted to run for Governor next year and
the increase of his vote would assist him to
obtain the nomination. Humph this is q

MISSOURI COMPROMISE LINE TO BE REVIVED.
1t is reported that Seward favors the res

to the Pacific. 1t is humbug. Seward
has declared against any more comprom-

can be made touching the slavery question
which will not be broken. There is no as
surance that a second Missouri Compromise
will not be broken as ruthlessly as the first
Besides the old one has been declared un-

WALLoUPA, Dec. II, go.
Mn. EDITOR 1T is the reproach of poll
tics that wire-pullers make up the tickets,
and all the people have to do is to vote
them. There is too much truth in it but,
then, it is our own fault. We ought not to
allow the wire-pullers to have the first say
in the matter. For one, am going to take
time by the foretop and get ahead of them
for next year. l want the rural districts
heard for once, and have no doubt if they
can obtain a fair hearing the State will be
blessed with set of officers who were born
for the business. Propose the following
ticket subject to the decision of the Sacra-
mento Union:
For Governor, J. L. English, of Sacra-
mento for Lieut.. Governor, W. S. Long, of
Sacramento for Supreme Judge, A. G..
Monson, of Sacramento for Controller,
DR.. Powell, of Sacramento; for Treasurer,
DR.. Duncombe, of Sac. County; for Atty
General, J. W. Coffroth, Sac. City; for Sur
veyor General, H. A. Caulfeld, of Sacra-
mento; for State Printer, Paul Morrill,,
of Sacramento.
AS the Union will feel o natural delicacy
in advocating the claims of the last named
gentleman, propose to leave his name to
a convention. Walloupa will go for the
ticket to O man.

WHAT WILL LINCOLN DO THE following
is an extract from speech made at Lea
venworth, Kansas, by Mr.. Lincoln while
the contest for the Speakership in the
House was going on, and before he was
regarded by any one as a Presidential can
didate. 1t may enlighten some who are ex-
ercised about the course he intends to pur-
sue when he comes to power
You Democrats greatly fear that the
success of the Republicans will destroy the
Union. Why? Do the Republicans de-
clare against the Union? Nothing like It,
Your own statement of it is, that if the
Black Republicans elect President you
wont stand it You will break up the
Union. That will be your act, not ours.
To justify it, you must show that our poll
CT gives you just cause for such desperate
action. Can you deny that? When you
attempt it you will find that our policy is
exactly the policy of the men who made
the Union, nothing more or nothing less.
Do you think you are justified to break up
the government rather than have it admin
istered by Washington, and other good and
great men who made it? If you do, you
are very unreasonable, and more reasona.
BILE men cannot and will not submit to you.
While we elect President, it will be our
duty to see that you submit. Old John
Brown has been hung for treason against
State. We cannot object though slavery
is wrong. That cannot excuse violence,
bloodshed and treason. 1t could avail him
nothing that he might think himself right.
So, if constitationally we elect President,
and therefore you undertake to destroy the
Union, it will be our duty to deal with you
as Old John Brown was dealt with. We
can only do our duty. We hope and be-
lieve that in no section will a majority so
act as to render extreme measures neces-
sary."
