a Wonderful Architect.

DO you know the type-setter is a wonderful
architect? You see those bits Of lead and zine
lying over, across and against each other, like
the tangled braids of mermaid's hair ! And
yet they form an army more powerful than ever
fought on tented dela. Yesterday they stood up
proudly, professionally speaking, in one form
truly, in a thousand FORMS You may look
upon the little bits with a smile on your lip, but
you little dream they are stronger and wiser
than you-that they will speak when you are
dead and forgotten. They have sometimes made
you smile, and sometimes shudder. "Stocks {"
Isn't there something in that word Haven't
you been head and heels in them for years. and
don't your feelings rise and fall with them alter
uately little further on you come to the
word Married" All thought that would

that word unraves 1t all. on haven't forgot
the day when you went courtlng, have You?
Then there was magic in the utterauce. You
stood at the altar the strength of the happiness
you felt, and II you have not always loved the
girl as you ought to, there is no one you love as
we'll. You secretly bless the day when the single
word " married" was wreathed like q sacred
archway over the joys of you aud yours. Don t
you remember little Minnie--she whom you loved
so well-she with the blue eyes aud auburn curls ?
When Death dark Angel folded her little deli
cate hands over her snowy bosom, and sealed her
loving eyes with its icy fingers don't you remcm
Der how the great tide of sorrow came surgng
over your smitten heart? You little thought the
other day when you picked up the papers-that
the word Died." of only four letters which
you laughed at as they lay dusty and dirty in
their square homes-would make you weep
would make you think Of her whom God hath

singular fact that no man has been elected Gov
crnor Of this State, up to this date, who was not
n citizen of Sacramento. This city has furnished
every successful candidate, as we'll ms several

the time of his election. John Biglcr was n cit
izen of Sacramento when elected the first time.
At the second election he lived with his family
at Benicia, but claimed his residence here. When
nominated the third time, in 1858, he was os we'll

Governor is Il citizen, the question to be decided
is, whether the next Governor shall or shall not

Tue EARTHQUAKE IN SoUrH AMERICA-The
Panama Star and Herald gives the following
particulars of this catastrophe, recently re-
ferred to in the DEMOCRAT:
Mendoza is situated on the eastern slope
of the Andes, and is the first town met with
in the Argentine Confederation, after cross.
ing the Co, dilleras from Chilli 1t was place
of considerable Importance. from it location
or the frontier, and contained about 200
souls. For upwards of a hundred years it
had not been visited by an earthquake, and
the people there lived in comparative secu-
rity from the scourge of those regions. I'm
fortunately, however, on the goth Of March
about o'clock, shock was experienced run
ming from North to South, and at the same
time another from Scuih to North, which
lasted about five seconds, leaving in ruin
every building and public editice in the town,
not single house being left standing and
destroying upwards of 5000 of the popula-
tioR. The accounts of this dreadful affair
are terrible; whole families have been swept
into eternity in an instant. and those who
have escaped are left homeless, naked and
starving. The catastrophe has thrown u
gloom over the whole of Chill, as many OF
the leading families of Santiago who had
gone to reside there on account of their pol
itics, have persisted The commercial com
munity of Valparaiso also are likely to suffer
heavy losses, as large trade was carried on
between the two places.
1t was reported that San Juan, town of
considerable importance, about thirty leagues
from Mendoza, was also destroyed, and that
the river, leaving its original bed, had COM
pletely inundated the place; but this, af
well as the reported destruction of two more
towns, requires confirmation.

The Kentucky Election.

The result of Saturdays election must be
cheering to the friends Of the Union every
where. 1t is especially gratifying to the cit
liens of Kentucky who have breasted the
storm which followed the precipitation OF
the cotton States into Southern Confeder
acy
Politicians sought to plunge Kentucky
headlong out of the Union, folio wing the
lead of South Carolina. Had those States
along the Gulf coast consulted Kentucky in
stead of South Carolina, it would have been
better for them now. With an unbroken
front, the South could have checked the Ad-
minstration in any ulterior design Both
branches of Congress had majority against
Lincoln, and he was poweress for evil In
the halls of Congress there was power he
could not overcome. Kentucky and other
conservative States stood firm But even
from Kentucky there were several who gave
aid and comfort to the Southern movement,
when it was well known their constituency
were warmly for the Union and against Sc
cesson. Thus misrepresented, the voice of
our State was not spoken by some of the
Congressional delegation, while others stood
manfully up for the Union, and endeavored
by their counsels, to bring back those States
that had withdrawn their Representatives
from the Federal Capitol Passion ruled the
hour. The representative forgot or me-
elected TO fulfill his duty to his constituency
and to his State. lie gave his voice, not the
voice of the people he assumed to represent.
Kentucky is still for the Union Her voice.
spoken on Saturday, is unmistakable evil
dence of the fact.
Lexington, the home of Breckenridge, ia
for the Union. Phe result shows that three
fourths of the voters on Saturday voted for
the Union.
Mercer county, the home of Magof1in, is
for the Union. The vote of Saturday shows
that the Union ticket received seventeen
more votes than the combined votes given
to Breckenridge, Bell and Douglas in the last
Presidential canvass. And yet it is clear that
these and other politicians would preciptate
Kentucky out of the Union, and invite to
her borders war she did not wage. In
short. make her the dark and bloody
ground for war of opposing sections
desolate her homes, ruin her commerce, muir
der her people, and all for what? To VIM
dicate her honor-to assert her rights-to
settle her own feuds? No! She has no dis
pute with her neighbors across the river, no
battle to urge against them. Thousands of
them are of her own flesh and blood. We
are invited to join the Southern Confederacy
to precipitate kentcuky out of the Union,
that we may be made to fight the battles Of
distant and opposing sections Kentucky is
not ready for the sacrifice. She has her own
honor and interest to guard-her own char
acter to maintain. Those who would plunge
her into the votreX even now denounce her
because she will not blndly follow their
lead. Her people are conservative and just.
When the time comes for her to assert her
own position and guard her own honor, she
will do it-LOMisriLLe DemOcrat.

ANOTHER UNION CONVENTIONAL call has
been issued for another Convention to be
held at Sacramento on the 18th of June. 1t
is understood to have originated with num-
Der of Union men of San Francisco, who are
dissatisfied with having the Union sentiment
of the State divided at the coming electien
We have no knowledge as to who the parties
are that have issued the call, but so far from
uniting, another Convention will only have
the effect to still further divide the Union
sentiment Of the State. All parties who are
really Union men, and who believe the main
tenance of the National Government to be of
more importance than the Chicago Platform
can consistently unite in the call issued by
Joseph p. lIoge. We mike no objections to
the general views enunciated by the gentle
men who issued the late call; but their ef-
forts to consolidate the Union sentiment will
only result in further divisions Nc0ada
