THE COPYING FRAUD.-Exceedingly queer
are some of the actions of California legis-
lators. When the special committee of the
Senate, through its chairman, Hon. s. T.
Leet, of Placer, made clear, explicit. and
irrefragable report, showing that the state
had been swindled out of nearly six thousand
dollars, by Wittgenstein and the Secretary
of the Senate, there were several Senators
who argued in favor of hushing the matter
up. Such Senators must have a very con-
fused idea of the duty they owe, as citizens
of the state, and still more confused one
of the solemn requirements of their oath of
office. How creatures of such loose morals,
SO utterly destitute of all sense of honor and
duty, find their way into the halls of legis-
lation, in great and intelligent state, is a
marvel difficult to comprehend. 1t is con-
solatory to US to know that none of these
legislative abettors of swindling hail from
Nevada county.-Transcript.

Gov. DowNEY.-Public opinion, so far as it
can be gathered from the Union press of the
State, has but one voice, viz: that of regret and
condemnation of Gov. Dowrey's two letters
touching the present unhappy condition of the
country. No man was more popular-none
more highly esteemed; and it is but justice to
say, that by his official acts he inerited the deep
and widespread confidence which had been re-
posed in him, This has all been forfeited by the
inuendo which his letters contained, that the
Government was the aggressor in the contest
with the Southern Confederacy, and that it has
no right to use coercion policy" to protect
itself from dishonor and humiliation. Such
sentiments are degrading. They do not harmo-
nize with Northern loyalty, and Gov. Downey
will find how deeply he was in error when he
gave them utterance. We fear that, like Mr.
Buchanan, he has been surrounded by class of
bad advisers. Nearly all the subordinate State
officers are secessionists.

YoUNG BALDwIN-The Sierra Citizen, pub
lished at Downieville, and protesting Union SEN
timents, while its course is singularly at vari-
ance with any such presumption, takes it some-
what to heart that A. w. Baldwin, from Alaba2
ma, and son of one of the Judges of the Supreme
Cour. of this State, should have made bold
and manly speech in favor of the Union, at
meeting held at that place on the evening of the
1lth inst, and noticed elsewhere in to-day's pa
per. It seems strange to the Citizen that young
man of Southern birth should elect to such
position, while the editor, a Northern man,
takes opposite grounds. We admit the anoma-
ly, as the case is put, but not as it applies in
peculiar sense to Baldwin. He has chosen well,
and if he continues steadfast to his principles,
the future, which is to be the great refining
crucible of American patriotism, will present
him to the loyal citizens of the State as man
deserving of honors and promotion. Wo unto
those, ten years hence, who are attainted with
the crime of treason? The bloody shirt of Mes
sus were a comfortable garment to cover their
deformority in comparison. Better the hills
were to fall upon and cover them, than seek for
appreciation under the broad canopy of loyal
sky which will arch over the entire Union, with
the Stars and Stripes waving gloriously in its
spotless field of azure and blue.

"TRUE BLUE."-Uf all the patriotic resolu-
tions thus far adopted at Union meetings
throughout the State, We have come across
none which please US so we'll as those passed
at a meeting held in Downieville on the
evening ofthe 18th inst. They were reported
by a committee consisting of L. E. Pratt, A.
w. Baldwin, w. ]. Forbes, R. H. Taylor, Fl.
B. Cossitt, A. P. Williams, A. Platt, and
breathe spirit of exalted loyaltya and heaven
inspired defiance. We quote the following
as fair specimen of the whole:
Resolved. That fealty to the Union can
never conflict with loyalty to State; and
we denounce as heresy, tinctured with
treason, the new-f,ngled dogma that al
leglance to the State is paramount to our al
leg,ance to the Union.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the Fede-
raj Government to protect the loyal citizen
and punish the traitor to defend the prop
erty entrusted to its keeping, at all hazards !;
to enforce everywhere within its jurisdiction,
all its laws, until such enforcement becomes
physically impossible to preserve inviolate
the Uuion Of these States. and uphold the
Federal Constitution as our fathers made
and gave it us; to maintain the honor of its
Flag, with every star that glitters on it, and
to repel the proffered insult, whether it
come from rebels at home, or enemies
abroad
Resolved, That "Secession" is but mild
er name for "Treason, the one we hate
with most bitter hatred, the other We hate
and despise nor do we recognize either the
right or fact of such cesession to exist; nor
do we esteem the man loyal citizen, or one
fit to be entrusted with the keeping of our
country's honor, who apologies for, or aids,
