lFr- Our contemporary is very much
disturbed because we SO frequently repro.
duce the patriotic sentiments Of Douglas
in order to inspire the democratic masses
with his spirit. He says we opposed
Douglas and abused him in his lifetime
and that therefore our present course is
hypoeritieal.
Not at all. We did not like Senator
Douglas politics, but we did admire his
patriotisn. And it is his patriotism not
bis politics that we are now commencing
to the admiration and imitation of the
Democracy.
Our contemporary on the contrary used
to abuse tho democratic party, it's politics,
its measures and lis leaders, yet now he
eulogla+s that same party and its leaders
whom aforctime he abused without stint.
lie now admires what FIVE or six years ago
he detested, he now loves what he then
hated, lie now blesses what he then ours
ed.
But we need not 20 back half a dozen
year, to mark the contrast, as many months
will answer ~ well. How he then abused
Mahony, Neal, Mason and their policy is
fresh in tho minds ofthe public, and how
h now advocates their policy and defends
AMI eulogizes them every issnc of his

Removal of the Legislature.

( We DO not know whether our Legislators
can stand FIRE or not-they have not yet been
tried but that they cannot stand water is q
+ demonstrated fact-at least, they sputter terri
bly, because little water impeties their loco
motion between the Capitol and their boarding
houses, and project Is entered into. aud may
have been executed before this time, TO adjourn
the Legislature to San Francisco or some other
place where water is scarce.
Grave saUa'ast indulging in spread>eagle
speeches, endeavoring to create an excuse for
going to the Bay City on pleasure excursion
at the peoples expense appear to have forgot
ten that, while they are suffering tritling incon-
yeniences. a large portion of the tax-paying
citizens Of the State, and their families, are
suffering from the destruction of their focks
and herds, their gardens and orchards, and in
hundreds of cases, their homes and hresides.
and with a future looming up before them,
dark and gloomy. Under such circumstances,
when the people of our State are emerging
from the terrible calamity just visited upon
thsm, they behold the hand to which they
fondly look for support, in the hour of adyersi-
ty, raised to cast new burdens upon them and
for what For the personsl convenience of a
few men for few days
If the assembled wisdom of the State must
abstract just so much money from the treasury,
with how much more propriety and less injus-
ticce might they take the hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars which a removal would cost
and with it cause levee to be built which
would effectualy guard the city of Sacrameu-
to and with it the Capitol, against inundation
in the future. But if money is not to be wrung
from the treasury, the ends of justice would be
much more correctly meted out by ceasing the
clamor for removal and transactng the legiti-
mate business for which they were assembled,
using the personal inconveniences as an incen-
tive to the constant and strict attention to
business, thereby rendering the session short
one-as it should be-and the expenditures
correspondingly light.
We have, as yet, failed TO see even the
shadow of just reason given for the removal
Wise Senators rise in their places and declare,
in substance, '' that their sympathies and that
Of their constituents are with Sacramento; but
justice to themselves demands them to reluc-
family vote for removal" Why vote reluc-
tantly? Do Senators vote reluctantly for
measures founded in justice? Certainly not.
But when measure placing personal convent
ence above public good is supported well may
reluctance be proclaimed. The present, when
our country is convulsed with war, and our
State suffering from the elements, is certainly
not an appropriate time for our rulers to grasp
after the pleasures aud comforts of life, but
rather time for privaton and sacrifice con-
duciye to the good Of the public.

MAGALIA.- We publish, elsewhere, COM
munication from Dr. Bufum, the new Post.
master at Dogtown; Magalia is the name of
the Postofice, not of the town. The Dr. says
that Magalia means " cottage" according to
Stodards Latin Grammar, but Ainsworth says
it means Numidan cottages" and that casa,
tugurium or cdsuia means "a cottage" and
we suppose Ainsworth to be the best authority
in all Latin disputes. The peculiar architec
ture of the Numdian cottage, being of reeds
and light and airy, is not very applicable to
the style of architecture of the new Postofice
at Dogtown. Moreover, Magaiia appears,
from Aiusworth, to be plural noun. Hence
we think, although it is an euphonius name,
still it is not strictly proper. But, the Depart
ment, at Washington, will never know the diff
ference, and, if the Dogtown Postoffice has
pretty sounding name, it makes little difference
as to its substance.

Governor Stanford's Inaugural.

The first official address of our new Governor
is plain, sensible production, without ostenta-
tion, and, at the same time, containing many
good suggestions as to the contemplated policy
of his party. He advances no new idea says
the mining laws should be left as they are, ex-
cept as to those whose presence is disagreeable,
and protests against the General Government
interfering in any manner with the working of
our mines.
We hardly think Governor Stanford means
to say, in his address, that the negro race is,
or should, politically, be equal to the white race,
for he uses the term citizen in the connex-
ion; but, should that be his idea now, he will
live to see it exploded by that democratic
spirit and power he refers to as the intell-
gent democratic sentiment of the people" If
the Constitution is to be defended and the
Government maintained, it has got TO be so
done with its guarantees and compromises, and
it can all be done without making the congo
race our political equals in any sense of the
teriii. lhiS luiuS Vi HoiuilS OUT lne ldea OF
negro equality in our Government, is, at most,
pandering to as degrading a sentiment and as
infamous a doctrine, as that which pervades
the other extreme. and leads to the same cal
amlty we now behold in our country. Civil
war will follow its footsteps, as it has followed
the other ultra idea of an ariStocracy, and both
should be avoided as wrecking rocks of our
Government
