THE San Francisco Mirror has learned the
following facts During the American Revou-
tion, the population of the States of Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania and Virginia ranged from
$50 900 to 800, 900 each. Massachusetts, furnished
38, 600 troops to the army throughout the war.
Pennsylvania and Virginia each furnished $4,000.
Rhode Island, with only $4,000 inhabitan ts,
furnished 10000 soldiers, while the two States OF
North Carolina and Georgia, with an aggregate
population of 3l2,500, only supplied the revolu-
tionary war with 5000 troops. Rhode Island
gave a soldier to every five persons within her
borders North Carolina gave one soldier to
thirty.three of its inhabitants. Ia the Northern
States, during the conflict with Great Britain,
one fifth of the entire people entered the army
in the middle States about one tenth OF the
population served their country in the field 4; al
the South the proportion ranged from one e.twelftl
(Virginia) to one thirty-third North Carolina.)

PATRIOTIC CHARLESTON LADY.-A letter from
Charleston, published in the New York World,
says that the table upon which the Declaration
of Independence was signed is now in the pos
session of lady in that city. On December
2Otb, she was urged by the secessionists to per-
nit them to use it for signing their declaration.
The lady told the Committee who made the re-
quest, that rather than have the Ordinance of
Secession signed thereon, she would burn the
table to ashes.

LEGIsLATIvE-W once saw letter to young
member elect of the California Legislature, from
his kind old mother who lived back in the State Of
Illinois. 1t was in reply to one he had written in
the fulness of his heart and PRIDE the honor
conferred upon him by his fellow citizens. One
sentence struck us as singular and amusing, at
the time, especially as it gave our young legisla-
tor much annoyance, and paid decided ieft-hand
compliment to his ambition. 1t was this
"My son, little dreamed you would ever so
far forget your dignity and selfrespect as to be-
come politician, and be elated at becoming a
member of the Legislature-a CalJorn'a Legisia-
ture, at that ~
Any person who has spared time to read reports
of the doings of the present Assembly, since the
7th OF January, will fully appreciate the good
old mothers hit at California Legislature. We
have heard it more than once remarked, that the
conduct of Assemblymen for the past four weeks
would disgrace backwoods debating society.
Their action has never risen above low comedy,
and more frequently was broad farce. On Sat
urday week that body excellcd itself in buifoon-
ery. Piercy introduced a resolution declaring
the Republican party the cause of all our national
troubles. The debate which followed beggars
anything to be found in the popular farces of the
day Conness was in fine voice, and did credit
to himself in his peculiar line. Those who at
tempted to preserve some show of respect for the
Legislative Hall were rdculed to silence.

ScoTT's LETTER. Hon. Cbas. L. Scott is one
of those men who do not understand the people
be attempts to represent; and instead of speak
ing their sentiments, he utters the tancies Of his
own brain, and takes it for granted that in so
doing he is echoing the thoughts of his const-
tuency. California has rarely been truly repre-
sented by any of her members OF Congress to
be sure, some of her Senators have changed their
views, when they found the people here differed
with them, but man who merely adapts him
self to the popular current, cannot express the

Ir is common impression that Jefferson is the
author Of the saying, Poper is aLoays gradually
Stealing a,oay from The many 10 the feW.' This
impression. however, is not correct The saying
is Dr. Johnson's Z" From the impossbity OF

the many to the few, because the few arc more
vigilant and consistent it still contracts to u
smaller number, till In time il centers in q single
person. Thus all the forms OF government insti
tutcd among mankind, perpetualy tend towards
monarchy and power, however diiused through
the whole community, is by negligence or corrup-
tion, commotion or distress, reposed at last in the
chief magistrate" This is a most pregnant re-
Election, and, what is more, IL is fearfully peril
nent TO the existing state of our affairs.
Let "t the many" of the slaveholding States
let " the many" Of the non slavehodlng States,
let " the many Of the United States, arouse
themselves before " the few" have seized all pow
er, and launched the government into sea Of
ruin. In the face of the great peril that confronts
us, let " the many" be as vigiant and consist
ent" as " the few have ever been. Unquestion-
ably the people must awaken and unite against
the conspirng and sleepless demagogues Of the
land, or our liberties will quickly perish Moth
ing but vigilance and harmony can save U.s.
