"THE UNION MUST AND SHALL BE
PRESERVED!n

LET US VorE A MILLION California, in
her generosity, is behind all the loyal States
OF the Union. Her remoteness from the
scene OF action deprives her the opportuni-
ty of sending troops to the war; but she
can contribute money. 1t should be made a
point with both the Union parties, to impress
upon the..minds of their candidates for the
Legislature, the propriety and duty of pass
ing an act submitting to vote of the people
at the earliest possible day, proposition to
give or loan to the General Government a
million of dollars. The people will ratify it
and the Government receive the money with
double pleasure, as conveying not only
material aid, but an assurance of the inflex-
ible fidelity of her grateful children resident
on the Pacific coast. There is one big al
tentative for those who wouldn't like to pay
the extra tax. 1t is suggested in the lines of
the Confederacy national song. The loyal
will not grumble and those who are disloyal
ought TO be made pay their proportion, any
how.

one of glycerine every night, until the duet
which leads from the ear to the nose is
cleared this will be known by the sensation
of the fluid passing at once from the ear into
the nostril If, from inattention, the wax
becomes hardened, and thus also induces
temporary deafness, then the above mixture

followed by thoroughly washing the ear with

ELoouENT.-J. H. Warwick, the we'll known
actor, has Been nominated by the Republicans
of Sacramento county for the Assembly. At a
ratification meeting held few nights ago, he
delivered speech, of which the following was
the eloquent peroration:
eff God in his wisdom has doomed this nation
to destruction-if her mission is fulfilled, and
her glory is to pass away-let the groans Of her
dissolution resemble the agony of her birth; and
as she was born, so let her expire, amid the shock
of contending armies, the roar of the battle, the
thunder of cannon, and the shrieks of the dying.
Let her live no longer, cheat and lie, to de-
ceive mankind with false beacons of freedom.-
Let her punishment be example so terrible,
that posterity, for thousand years to come,
shall trembe at the story of her destruction, and
till man shall appreciate the blessings of freedom
and learn the secret of governing himself. Let
her name be blotted out from among the nations
of the earth and the smoke of her expiring fires
darken the broad heavens like the robe of fu-

A AFIRE-EATER.-A secession county conven-
ton was recently held at Sacramento. John @.
Brown was nominated for State Senator-the
man who came within three votes of beating Tom
Findley for State Treasurer. Major Gillis said
he (Brown1 was absent at Washoe; but "he
would swallow a hot stove If required by that
party to do So"
We think John could do it. The throat that
could swallow the secession pill, ought to feel
agreeably titillated at taking down hot stove
with the negro cook thrown in

INDEPENDENT PApERs.-We have seen an
item classifying the Union papers of this
State which have a leaning, and those that
are entirely independent of party trammel.
The HYDRAULIC PRESS is not mentioned. We
should like to know where a paper is to be
found more iearlessly independent in the
expression of its opinions And as to our
Union sentiments-they have cost US the
secession of about hundred anti-coercion
subscribers. But we still float; and even it
came to a sink, the two extended fingers
would still be up, to denote scissors"
The hydraulic press., 1861-08-03

TThe secessionists love the States of their
nativity SO much, that they would rather see the
Union overthrown than consent to a relinouish-
ment of any of the (ridculous) rights which they
claim under and by virtue of the assumed SOW
ereignty of those States; and yet, they applauded
Judge Shattuck, Yankee, when he abused and
villifed New England Afterwards, they re-
carded him by prominent nomination on their
ticket!
The hydraulic press., 1861-08-03

THE SUNDAY LAw.-To-morrow this law,
passed by the late Legislature, goes into effect
for the first time. Will it be obeyed? is ques-
ton frequently asked. and which we have heard
answered both negatively and afirmatively.
There is large class of leading merchants and
business men, who are anxious the law should
be rigidly enforced. They maintain, that aside
from any religious observance of the Sabbath, it
is necessary to secure them that rest from the
narrowing cares and tolls of secular labor, so
necessary to the health of both body and mind.
The dry goods merchant, the banker, the clothier,
for instance, each wishes to avail himself of its
immunties but If some one or more persons in
the same line of business, refuse to comply with
the terms of the act, these are, in self-defence,
compelled to place themselves in the position of
violaters of the law by keeping open their stores,
to secure that portion OF trade which would other
wise be lost to them. Such men call for the en-
forcement of the law. There are others, such as
butchers, provision dealers and saloon pro-
prietors, who may not be willing to abide its en-
forceIs.ent. The officers of the law must settle
the question as between them.
1t must be apparent to every one, that the
provisions of such an act will meet with greater
resistance in mining towns than elsewhere. In
large cities it is no inconvenience for all classes
and conditions of people to lay in their supplies
on Saturday nights. The laboring man and me-
chanic receive their weeks wages at that time,
and have the markets at hand to furnish every
article demanded by their wants. Among the
miners it is different. Even in those cases
where the money is abundant, time is matter
of great importance. The miner is employed in
his claims to late hour on Saturday evening
later, perhaps, than on any other evening-and
is often as far removed as two, three and four
miles from the place whence his supplies are de-
rived. Sunday is his day of leisure, and it is
then that he makes his purchases for the week
that is to ensue. His compliance with the act,
therefore, will be of compulsion, and compulsion
only.
The law, we think, will be found almost inop-
erative in mining regions. If the class of busi-
ness men of whom we have first spoken, wish to
see it enforced for their own special protection,
they will be compelled to go into the Courts to
contest the matter; which may bring them the
required relief.
The hydraulic press., 1861-08-03

Our SENAToRs.-So far as we can hear
our noble Senators, Messrs. Latham and
McDougall are properly representing their
constituents. Both sustain the war; both
are working for the Pacific Rail Road, and
both will meet with that just reward hereafter
to which honest industry in glorious cause
is entitled.
What an Incompatible blessing it is
sparkling all over with beatifc splendor-that
Gwin, of Mississippi, or some other of the
seeding States, no longer misrepresents
California on the floor OF the United States
Senate!
The hydraulic press., 1861-08-03

WHAT MATTER 7-Several papers are anx-
iously making the inquiry, "where did
Senator Thornton go?"
Who the d-l cares, so he never returns
TO this State, TO preach treason against the
Qoyerrmens?
The hydraulic press., 1861-08-03

% The secessionists are for "peace )" and
we'll they may be, after reading the news brought
by each successive pony. They didn't think of
"peace," however, at the time Fort Sumter was
attacked, nor until two hundred thousand SOL
diers were in the field to avenge that outrage.
The hydraulic press., 1861-08-03

lDMr. Kittrell, of Sonoma, in seconding the
nomination of Judge Shattuck, before the Seces-
sion State Convention, said:
"More than that, he [Shattuck] was New
England man by birth and education, embody-
ing all that sterling honesty and integrity which
characterized the sturdy sons of Miles-what
was his name ?-Standsh and the others that
came over in the old Mayfower."
The rebels down South have different man.
ner of speaking of New England men, styling
them-what do you call it?-"blue bellies, /"
"mackerel-catchers," etc. We believe the Con-
vention, after all, admitted there was such a
quality among the Yankees as "that sterling
honesty and integrity" by indorsing Judge Shat
tuck as its candidate.
