Committee of Examination.

WITH the Shasta Courier of last week came
the following "stunner' under the head of
"Consnmedly Impudcnt" The careful reader
can't fail to see the point
Undoubtedly the independent press Of the State
embrace among their Number the very best ne,os-
paprrs on this coast. For their enterprise they
deserve praise, and have reapea rich reward
Indeed they have become wealthy and puifrd up,
and now. by their exceeding arrogance some of
thpm remind one Of the self consequence of the
ignorant though wealthy cod fish aristocrat of
the Eastern cities, who. with the oileaginous
flavor of dried fish. train oil and candles still
lingering around him, attempts to ape the born
arstocra in his small circle of toadies, snobs and
Jenkinses.
Those to which we have reference assume the
airs of born lords of the press-on all questions,
trivial or important, speak oracuarly, like Sir
Omce-and with owl-like era witty aud solemnity,
damn any opinion not strictly in accordance
with their own views.
As an instance OF their presumption, they will
not without rebuke, allow any man to say that
in the event of the tOdi ond iirentddbe destruction
Of tbs Union, California ought to favor the
establishment of Pacific Republic. rather than
constitute herself an appendage Of some one of
the half dozen one-hoYse Republics into which,
in all probability, the States east of the Rocky
Mountains will then be divided. Nay, il a man
even express desire that California shall play
tlt FUlt bl a one tuofSe un ucI OWL nDbh,
rather than pprsonate the subordinate character
of a mere 0ppendGge to a one horse Republic
two thousand miles distant, they not only rebuke
him, bnt msrepresent him absolutely cody and
deliberately belle him, by declaring that he un-
qualifedy advocates dissolu tion of the Union
Now if such writers were not blinded by
what? an nordinate self Importance? they would
readily recognise the fact that man may be
true lover of the Union, and yet favor the estab-
lshment OF Pacific Republic in the case of
national suicide-upon the happening of the
total and irremediable destructio of the Union.
If they were lovers of fairness they would re
cognise this fact, for no lover of fair dealing will
purposely misrepresent any man.
While we deem the Union of inestimable value,
the source of all our greatness, and dissolution
national suicide--wbile we call upon California
TO stick to the Union of Washington so long
there is Union to stick to, yet we expect to be
opposed to the project of attaching the fortunes
of California to any one Of the half dozen incOn-
siderable, war-convulSed fragments of the Re
public east Of the Rocky Mountains. If that be
treason, make the most of it.
