r. STARR KING IN SToCKroN.-The Stock
ton Argus, speaking of Mr.. Kings lecture in
that city, few nights since, on Washington,
says
The almost universal clappng of hands at
the ending of his sentences, as they gradually
subsidized, was attended occasionally by hiss
Rev. j ohm A. Anderson, for a moment, inter-
rupted the speaker, by stating that there was
apparently some one present who differed with
the speaker and remarking that as mark of
disapprobation was in opposition to the pre-
vaing feeling in the audience he would prefer
those making it should not be called upon to
listen to sentiments they disapproved of, and
If they wished to retire their money would be
returned. Upon this five persons arose, three
private citizens and two Federal olfice-holders,
Mr.. w. B. Norman being spokesman. who
claimed the right, in few remarks, to signify
his disapprobation, and that he was Demo
crat. The distinguished lecturer yielded the
right, and remarked that he himself had made
no objection to such course. He continued
his lecture, and brought forth in an admirable
manner, the name of Gen. jackson, as the con-
quercr of secession, when it dared TO raise its
head during his term of Office The bissing
first commenced, we believe, as the lecturer
was speaking Of Washington, when he sent
troops to put down the whisky rebellion in
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Norman is a Northern
man, born in Pennsylvania The lecturer re-
marked that at the time he was speaking his
tory-of events that happened seventy years
ago
In connection with the above, the same
paper remarks, that extraordinary efforts were
made to purchase up hissers to hiss at Rev. L.
Starr Kings lecture on Washington" We
learn of one man who was approached, and an
offer made to pay dollar for his ticket if he
would attend the Lecture and hiss. The offer
was declined. This shows that this mode to
exhibit treason was resorted to to annoy the
ladies' and gentlemen present who were oppo-
sed to the destruction Of the best Govern
ment ever before offered to man.

is highly improbable that any of the candidates
now before the Convention can be elected
We trust that before another week rolls round
the members of the Convention, laying aside
personal preferences, acting alone for the good

devotion TO the Union can be relied upon, and
who will unequivocally represent the interests

Seeded,

The Editor OF the RECORD, very reluctantly,
has engaged passage for the Atlantic States
by the out going steamer of the 2lst inst, and
prior to the issue of another number of our
paper, will have taken his departure from San
Francisco. His contemplated absence will not
extend but from three to five months, and du-
ring that time he hopes to be able to dish up
some readable letters concerning matters and
things on the other side. This expectation
relieves him from the necessity of promulga-
ting a formal valedlctory 10 those for whom
he has catered so long. 1t may not be wholly
inappropriate, however. for him TO express the
hope that, during his absence, those who re-
main may enjoy unexampled prosperity and
happiness That the county and town may
flourish in all that constitutes wealth and ad
vancement. That the county may be enabled
to pay off its Indebtedness, (the wish is disin-
terested, as we are not interested in scrip and
enable its officers 10 assume that 'iat and
sleek appearance which unerringly denotes
public prosperity, good crops, and the collec-
ton Of taxes If the farmers are successful,
the Town will take care of itself
He hopes to see, on his return, the site
where Oroyille now stands covered with a
forest of brick and mortar, through which
shall resound the shrill whistle of the iron
horse, and that all classes Of community may
be benefited thereby, from the daily laborer
for his bread, to his Countship, the banker,
who cannot sleep at night while he has a cop
per uninvested in 5 per cents, or in A No.
gold dust at SIG per ounce. In wishing our
gentlemaGly bankers prosperity the editor, in
his present state of feeling, would gently re-
mind them of the fact proclaimed by al ma
ture, that they are themselves but dust, and
that So per OF. will be high price therefor,
unless recommended by charity and morality.
The interest attached to this class of our citi-
zens is somewhat enhanced by the reflection
that, unlike our worthy and industrious saddle
and harness makers, they are liable TO pass
away, without leaving trace behind them!
May our merchants realize fair profits on
extensive sales, and be enabled to invest all
their money in county scrip, and procure more
goods on a credit, to be paid for when sold
May our landlords experience prosperity
that will enable them to be ever ready to fur
nish a square meal to the hungry and penniless,
and good sized cornucopia Clemonade) to the
not too frequently thirsty.
May our farmers find the business of making
pickles profitable, in order to patronize the
liquor merchants.
May the tick business of our jewellers never
leave them behind time, and the ovens of our
bakers never experience freeze-out."
As it is impossible in the limits of an ordi
nary article to mention every class of business,
IN our community, the editor contents himself
with wishing all prosperity and expressing the
hope, that the Union may triumph over the
Vaccinations of Republicans, Pacific Repub
licans, Southern Republicans, and all other
enemies of the free Government of the Ameri-
can continent one and indivisible

S1MrLE.-In the savannah of Izacubo, in

SIMILE-In the savannah of 1zacubo, in
Guiana, Province of South America, there
is species of serpents that pile themselves
upon each other, forming horrid, kissing,
writhng heap, facing the traveller, no matter
from what direction he approaches. We have
often thought that these snakes resembles
clique or combination of politicians, who join
together for the purpose of controlling affairs,
and occupying offices of honor and emolument
The clique is armed at every point against the
approach of the people, and are prepared to
prove that, black is white, or, uice rersa, that
the only way to preserve the Government is to
permit It's dissolution-that the intervention of
Congress with the local legislation of Terri
tory is practical popular sovereignty-that
public rascality is public virtue and honesty
that the defaulter to a county, State, or the
Federal Government, is entitled to the credit
of preserving affairs from II more deplorabe
disaster or irretrievable ruin, even if such fact
be established by tools who are paid out OF the
abstracted public funds, for their services. To
such perfection have clques and cabals reduced
politicians in California. A person in one of
those combinations who proves Gefauter, is
only required TO stand aside, or accept of
minor position, sufficient to furnish grub mo-
ney, for a year or two, when he can return to
his proper place, and be showed ahead out of
the way Of others. These combinations, like
those of the serpents, are more disposed to de
fend themselves than to make an attack, unless
it be upon those who are in the way of their
schemes. He who is envious to witness the
contortions of these political cabals, to see
them raise their bideous heads, exhibit their
venomous fangs, and hear their horrible hiss
ings has only to interfere to prevent the ac-
complishment of their nicely laid schemes.

Bsg~ The S. f. Evening Journal says =
Louis Myers went 10 party on Friday even
ing, and while walking along Beale street on
his way home, at an early hour the next morning
met two men in the minde of the street, who
clme toward him when he ran. One Of the
men fired revolver at him, when he stumbled
and fell, got up again and ran about 40 feet
farther, when another shot was fred and he
stumbled and fell again injuring his leg severe
ly. The men who were chasing him then came
up, and taking hold of him remarked, that if
they bad known it was him, they wouldn't have
fired. This was poor consolation for Mr..
Myers who was nearly frightened out of his
senses, and he had Thomas Ansbro (the person
who fired the pistoD arrested. Ansbro is a
special policeman. The conduct of Ansbro
was extremely culpable. Mr.. Myers ought to
have some remedy in this case, but be was
obliged to dismiss it, for the reason that the
complaint was defective.

The VIRGINIA MovEMENT.-We glad to see the
noble old State of Virginia moving in behalf of
peaceful adjustment of the disunion question. Nor
are we surprised at her action which, indeed, was
predicted in our columns, at carly stage of the
difficulty. The position of Virginia gives her great
influence with both sections of the Union, and in
taking measures, before proceeding to separate her.
self from her sister States to procure consideration
Of the grievances which form the cause of complaint,
she is but carrying into practical effect that mode
ration and forbearance and patriotism, which the
crisis demands.
The appointment Of Commissioners to meet repre-
sentativeS from other States at Washington and also
to visit the South Carolina and United States author
ties, and to ask for a cessation of hostilities until
peaceful measures can be first tried, is wise and
discreet exercise Of Legislative power and we trust
will exert healthful influence in all quarters. Let
the other middle or border States concur in this
plan, and cooperate with Virginia in her noble ef
forts to the Union. 1t is by Cancellation and
consutaton-not by denunciation and rashncss,
that the disunion spirit the one hand and the de-
mand for coercion on the other is to be stayed
Should this plan thus inaugurated by Virginia
have the effect to hold the disunion movement in
check for a season, we shall appeal with renewed
confidence to the people Of the whole Union, TO re-
view their action and to render justice and const-
tutonal rights to every portion of the conederacy
1t cannot it must not be tina: the madness of section
alism is to prevail at the cost of free government
Let us first pause and then let us at whatever cost
or sacrifice fulfil every constitutional Obligation
