FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE sth, 1850.

How VERY misunderstanding who
does the hash for the Sacramento Union
rarely gives an item from this city correctly
Somehow that paper seems to attempt an
obliviousness of the existence of such
place as Nevada, and if even justice were
done, our citizens would be equally obliyious
of the existence of that paper. All along,
there has net been an observing mind among
covert opposition of the Union to any pro-
ject having for its object the benefit of Ne
vada. Without a particle of reason, and in
the face of scientific surveys, that paper has
asserted the superiority of the Placerville
route to the silver mines. 1t has gone so
far as to give its sanction to bill which
appropriated hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to mountain roads, but denied the
Henness Pass dollar. And when that bill
failed by the justice of the Governor, the
impartial Union WIS hot for an appropria-
tion of $4,000 from a bankrupt treasury
for Its hobby route. Nor is its impartiality
seen in important questions alone. The
smallest item of news is "chawed W" and
sent over the country filled With untruth.
For instance, we notice that Starr King is
employed by the Nevada Library Associa-
tion to lecture in this city. The Union
learns that the Reverend gentleman is going
to Nevada County to lecture. We state that
one of our citizens, while coming from Sac
ramento ria Folsom, saw a robber who
drew a pistol oR him The Union has him
shot at. Can it be possible that the JnioR
has such an antipathy to us that the wish
was father to the thought in the latter
case ?

POP. Sov.-The S. F. Telegram has pro-
nounced for Douglas and popular sover-
eighty. The ability and knowledge brought
to the Douglas ranks by this accession is
fairly shown in the following extract from
the declaratory article of the Telegram:
So far as slavery in the territories is concerned
Congress undoubtedly possesses the sole power.
1t can allow or prohibit it or it can give the
people full power TO settle it for themselves The
Constitution of the United States has no more
to do with the subject than it has to do with the
question of serfdom in Russia. For these rea-
sons, and because justice and policy demands it,
we approve of Douglas popular sovereignty
ideas-and so do majority of the people of the
United States.

Nut No. I've promised to give the
Democrat few nuts to crack during the
canvass, from which to derive the kernel of
Douglas popular sovereignty doctrine
The Democrat says, if we would only read
the views of Douglas at length, we would
find them harmonious. As our neighbor
doubtless has been over the whole ground,
and finds everything so clear, we will be in
debted to him for a little light in very
snall and insignificant particular.
The Douglas doctrine is, that the people
OF Territory at any time can prohibit or
establish slavery through the Territorial
Legislature. To this doctrine our neighbor
is committed. He and his political kind
asseverate that such was the creed of the
Democracy when Buchanan was elected
President. How happened it that when the
Kansas Constitution was under discussion
in the Senate in 1856, the following enact
ment proposed in order to procure COM
mitment to that doctrine was voted down,
Mr.. Douglas voting against it and repudia-
ting the doctrine?
Ind be 1t further enacted, That the provision
in the act to organize the Territories of Ne
braska and Kansas which declares it to be the
true intent and meaning of said act not to leg
islatc slavery into any Territory or State nor to
exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people
thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their
domestic institutions in thcir own way, subject
only to the Constitution of the United States,
was intended to, and does, confer upon, or leave
to, the people of the Territory OF Kansas full
power, ut any time, through its Territorial Leg
islature, to exclude slavery from said Territory
or to recognize and regulate it therein"

RAILRoADIsH.-We have received from J.
P. Robinson, Esq, Supt. of the Sacramento
Valley Railroad, circular or petition to
the Board of Supervisors of Sacramento
County, setting forth the advantages of rail-
roads terminating at Sacramento City. The
document was drawn as n remonstrance
against the illibcral policy certain petition
crs have asked the Board of Supervisors to
pursue towards the railroad company. Mr..
Robinson sets forth that $3.50, 900 have been
expended in Sacramento county by the rail-
road; that 81 900, 900 have cen added to the
assessable property of the county by it
thas it has created a business at Folsom
causing an annual expenditure of $500, 900,
besides giving revenue to the city of Sacra-
mcnto, etc, etc. The document is well
drawn, and embracing many points of in

HYDRAULIC PREss.-The veteran of the CAL

cation after respite of couple of years
Ge /. Allen, if we know his pen, bestrides
the editorial stool of the Uydrauiic Press
a worthy successor to Brother Avery who
has gone to lower and hotter place than
we ever wished him in. The change, how
ever, we believe for the best, all round
Brother Avery is rising genius and in
daily paper is bound to add laurels to those
he has already won as a writer. Gen. Allen,
there being nothing more for him to con-
quer can afford, like Grecian sage, to sit
down, once week ,amuse himself and charm
a youthful community in imparting the
stores of matured and phlosophic mind.
SuspExDRD.-The Daily Sacramento Stan
dard ceased to exist on the I'd inst. In a
card to the public Mr.. Bolts says the con-
Germ was non-paying one; that it took
every dollar made from his Office to keep it
up and that he could not compete with the
Union for want of the necessary means.
Bolts is the only man of his party who
has stood up to the doctrines indorsed by
the Democratic party of the State last fall
and made square toed fight in support of,
what were then called, Democratic princi-
pies. We miss the Standard greatly, for al
though we differ radically with Mr.. Bolts,
he is the only editor of his party who dis
cusscs the questions of the day with fair
semblance of logic.
