LEGtsLATIvE.-On Wednesday Mr.. Titus by

ICED by lawto be paid into the General School
Fund and the States portion Of the Foreign
Miners License Tax, which shall be collected
in the said counties for the years 1860 and
1861, to be applied to the construction and
improvement of certain wagon roads over the
Sierra Nevad." State aid is greatly needed
for the enterprise mentioned, and it is to be
hoped that tho bill will pass without objection
and speedily. We take from the Unions Leg
slativc report the following:
The provisions Of the bill nre made applicable to
the counties of FL Dorado, Caaveras, Sierra, Iuba,
Plumas, AmadOr and TuOlumne, to carry into effect
the construction and improvement Of the following

THE TEST.

The test adopted by the County Centrn
Committee has been discussed freely and with
some acrimony, and caused little complaint
aud dissatisfaction. We regret that it has not
met the approval of every Democrat, butwt
think it would be impossible to adopt ono en-
tirely unohjcctionablc.
The Democracy of FL Dorado, we believe,
are anxious to discard all past difficulties and
to'plant themselves unilcdly upon n platform
in harmony with the party throughout the
! Onion. Considerable has been said, especial
! " since the meeting Of Congress, and since
the ntiLecompton Democrats were invited
I and welcomed into caucus, as to the feasibility
| Of uniting the two sections Of the Democratic
party under one organization. Some Of both
sections, it cannot he disputed, are opposed to
such organization and predict the worst re-
suits from it, but we have no such fears
That the two divisions, here or elsewhere,
whole and entire could he brought To act har.
moniouSly together, under any circumstances,
we do not believe; but we do believe all i'm
mcnsc majority Of both might easily be pre-.
vailed upon to rally under a single and com.
mon organization upon the only true ground
Of union-nnity cf Political sentiment. To
reach point of harmony like this requires no
little sacrifice and oblivion Of treasured wrong,
real, in some cases, apparent only in others :;
yet men, when DESTROYS Of accomplishing an
object, deemed Of importance to themselves
and others, are equal to such sacrifices, and
the instances are not few in which they have
furnished striking evidences Of this fact. ltiS
a common saying that what has been done
may be repeated, and he is no good Democrat
who is unwilling to sacrifice his personal pre-,
JUDGES for the benefit of his party.
1t is far better to strengthen party than
weaken ito attach men Ia it than 10 -driYe
them from it, when it can he done honorably
and without sacrifice Of principle. We con.
tidcntly believe that large majority Of the
Anti LccomptonitcS will enthusiastically sup.
port the nominees of the Charleston Convcn.
ton ;-belevinS SO, we could not see the pro.
priety Of prohibiting them from participating
in our primary meetings. We are no; dSpo>.
ed to question the Democracy of men who
manfully stood by our side and fought under
our proud old banner in days Of gloom and dc.
feat, who were reared in the Democratic faith,
and who still cherished it, In an unfortunate
moment they were led astray, but they have
We arc willing to extend them the right hand
Of fellowship. We want to give to the Charles
ton nominees warm, cordial and united sup
port. We want California to give them the
largest majority Of any State in the Union, and
she will if we act cordially and uritcdly.
