fairly opened is considered, speaks well for that

confined to the creek bed, although in the adja-

Az UNENgAHLE PosroN To edit Dcido-
cratic paper in California at the present time is
II very unpleasant occupation The party is now
badly divided lf an editor attempts to keep
quiet, aud will not freely and boldly express
preference for one Presidential asprant or the
other. he is called weak minded, and is told that
he fears TO express an opinion, and both look up
on him with contempt. II he advocates the cleo
tion Of Douglas, the Breckinridgc men abuse him
for more sins than any one man ever committed.
If he takes up the cause Of the latter gentleman,
it is all day with him, as far as the Douglasites
are concerned. Verify his pillow is a hard one.

and if we are to be politically damned, we will
have the proud consciousness of knowing we died

We are satisfied that the above is plainly told
truth that the publication Of a country political
newspaper is a thankless task, and that the editor
generally gets more kicks than coppcrs for his
labor and pains. There may be exceptions, but
they are scattering. No matter how assduously
the editor or proprietor of a newspaper may cs-
pousc the principles Of the party to which be be-
longs, the very persons or party he is aboring to
serve, too often turn the cold shoulder, and lhat
generally when assistance and friendship is most
needed. We have seen it tried sufficiently to
satisfy us that under 40 circumstances would we

a Plea for the Cemetery.

Among the improvements now going on here
we should rejoice 10 see another undertaken
which has the merit of claim stronger than any
at present the subject of home enterprise. We
refer to the enclosure Of the burying ground
the spot consecrated to the use Of deceased rcla-

By present residents, none During seven years
the spot in question has been frequently repen-
ished with choice flowers from the bosom Of our
little society. Old and young, fair and lovely,
and the age stricken have been cut down, and
their remains lie mouldering in the neglected
cemetery on the hill. True in some instances
individual action has enclosed the limits Of a sin
gle or family grave, but should not community
respond to the call, and generally contribute to-
wards the enclosure Of public burying- place

but who among US knows how soon he may be
called to join the silent company. 1t is a mat
ter which concerns us az community and as
such we should act. Trees and shrubbery, with
neat fence is as little as @c could do, and these
in community as large as ours would require
but triAing donation from each.
There is a silent eloquencc in the mute Ian
guage of the tomb-in the grown grave,
or the simple stone which declares " the last Of
earth, from which we cannot turn. The well
defined limits Of newly made, or the dim out
lines Of an ancient grave, where the once famil-
lar name is read, and where tears bedewed the
sod as il ratified on the coffin lid or whore sleeps
the stranger who went to his rest "unwept, un-
honored and unsung." alike appeal to Us. Let
it not be in vain, but let the citizens of Weaver
Vile take measures TO enclose and beautfy the
grounds set apart for those who have gone, or
