/ \ This public haEkering for something
I extraordinary, startling, highly colored

| churches, invaded the pews, and to some
extent given laws to the pulpit. There is
now a great demand for smart preachers.
The question is not whether preacher
is pious, prayerful, faithful. sound in faith
and A winner Of souls; one who rightly
divides the Word Of Truth, and gives to
every man his portion in due season all
this Is behind the times and is old fogy.

REMEMBER IT.-Let those who sneering-
ly allude to the old Union and declare it
shall not be reconstructed, remember that
for nearly three quarters ofa century this
Government has been good enough for
white men TO prosper under. 1t was
formed by those who achieved their lib
erty by hardships and sacrifices, and who
appreciated it. 1t was good enough for
the patriots Of the Revolution, but it has
lately been discovered, by statesmen Of
the Sumner, Wade and Greeley school,
that it is not good enough for the negroes,
and there must be change to suit the
Abolitionists. Washington. Jefferson,
Madison and other great and good men
thought it good Govcrnment-Cheever,
Beecher and their followers think it a
bad one" the incarnation of injustice"
and are lal oring to destroy it. All 10y
al men will rebuke the latter by follow
ing the teachings Of the former,

PORTER CoURT MARTIAL.--The Washing

nearly equally divided on the question Of
his guilt. There was only majority Of
one in favor of his conviction. although
the Court was composed almost exclu-
sivcly of ultra Aboitionists, selected be-
cause of their well known political pro,
clivities. Holt, an apostate Democrat,

Our AGAIN-Tho Bangor (Me.) Demo-
crat has been established again. Our
readers may remember that its office was
destroyed by an Abolition mob, one OF
those ruling organizations that character
lied the Federal Administration in 1861,
and which seemed to be the uardians Of
the morals, politics, laws and constitution
of the country. But the day of mob vic.
lence is over, and the masses will no longer
permit the minions of the Administration
to trine with their rights, The Admins
tration by its tyrannical and despotic con.
duet, has driven from it the support OF
men who sincerely sympnthized with it,
but who were unwilling to sanction its
arbitrary arrests and approval Of mobs.

LEGIsLATlvE.-Senate bill, an act to in.

it was amended we are not advised. As

two towns will be consolidated, to the
advantage of both, we hope and believe.
In the Senate, on Wednesday, Mr.. Sax.

bill-an act to provide for the construc-
ton of a wagon road from Georgetown,
via. the North side of Lake Bigler to the
Eastern boundary Of this State-which
was taken into consideration, read .
third time and passed. Also, an act to
authorize the Common Council of the
City of Placerville to subscribe 800, 900
to the capital stock of the Placerville and

pany, and to provide for the payment Of
the same, was read q third time and
passed. In the House, on Wednesday,
Senate bill-an act to amend an act in re-

ty, and the road fund Of said county-was

WHICH is THE TRAITOR ?-The Aboli
ton traitors who own and edit the Sacra.
mcnto Union and the wretched mis-.
creants who follow the Unions lead, de-
nounce Vallandigham as a traitor, and
eulogize Bingham as a patriot. They
were both Representatives from Ohio dn-
ring the late session Of Congress, and
both gave expression to their honest SEN
timents as follows:
Mr.. VallaAdigham said: at is in the
restoration of the Union as it was in
1889, and continued for over seventy
years, that am bound to the last hour Of
my political existence"
Mr.. Bingham said: "Who in the
name of God. wants the cotton States, or
any other State this side Of perdition, to
remain in the Union, if slavery is to con.
tinue?"
Pray, now, which is the traitor? We
are satisfied that vast majority of the
people ofthe free States will endorse the
sentiment Of Valandigham, and none but
Abolitionists the sentiment of Bingham.

CHANGE IN PTBLIc SEHTIAENE.-A
cheering sign of the times is the great
change that Is going on in public sentl'
mcnt. Some Of the most prominent lead
crs of the Republican party are renounc'
ing their allegiance to it. Our Atlantic
exchanges are filled with letters and
speeches of prominent Republicans who
have expressed their determination ia
hereafter cooperate with the Democratic
party, on whose success depends the per
petuity of the Union. District Attorney
Hall, of New York, an ardent Republican
from the start Of that party, lately joined
the Democratic club, While a vestige

New York Argus, Mr.. Hall stock to his
party, but when, to use his own words
it was a a question whether he should
sell his birthright as an American citizen
for mess Of pottage," Mr.. Hall threw
off the shackles, and came boldly for
ward as an advocate for the Union and
the Constitution. He lately addressed
the Young Mems Democratic Union AS
sociation of the city of New York, on the
Political crimes of the Radicals" and
showed the tyeasoDsEls fis77 11,.s...o & ~;
Abolition leaders. Judge Miller, Of Iowa
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, another prominent Republican, in
a recent letter, says:
I am an old Clay Wing, and when that
party went down, | united with aae'fee'
publican, in the hope and belief that il
would succeed to all the loyal and national
virtues of the Whig party, and that we
should have Whis principles and policy

more than | bargained for. 1t was not
in the covenant that We should have civil
war as a consequence OF Republican sue
cess; that the public treasury was to be
plundercd by wholesale; that " free soil
in loval States should be covered with
martial law that " free ispeech" should
be chained in the dungeon of the Bastlle
that the " free homes" should be sacked
to deSolation, and the "free men" should
be confined in its practical operation to
the negroes of the South, and the aboli-
ton wing of the Republican party Of the
North.
Judge Miller concludes by calling on
all true patriots to "unite under the
Democratic flag" for the salvation of the
Union. His accession to the Demo
cratic party must have powerful influ-
ence. lie was appointed to his place on
the Supreme Bench by President Lin
coin, and his joining the Democratic par
ty and urging others to do So is proof Of
the great change going on in popular SEN
timent. 1t is significant and encourag-

Tue EFFECT OF ADMINISTRATION

enticed them from their masters refuse to

that thew arc in a condition Of actual suf-
fcring. Hundreds are crowded INTO small

clothing. furniture food, AMI that they
are dependent on the efforts Of their col

could earn one dollar day, and they
have refused to work. Their Incidence

WHAT TIE ABoLITIoNIsTs ARE GOING TO
DO NExT.-Haying, by "great pres,
sure" extorted from the President an
emancipation proclamation, the abolition
lists are demanding that the "govern-
ment take care of them," feed and clothe
them at the public expense, and that We
receive them into social equality. Chez
yer, leading Abolitionist, says, There
are now three millions of citizens of the
United States on our hands," and that
all the interests of white men for hun.
dred years are nothing compared with
this great duty of feeding and clothing
the poor contrabands." Lewis Tappan
says we must now "give up the preju
dice against the colored man." and must
have "no objection to see negro Gov
ernor Of free State" OF course not 4;
emancipation means equality and ANAL
gamatioM This is the programme of the
Abolitionists, of the party in power, and
white men are called upon to indorse it,
and when they refuse are denounced as
trait tors by the miscreants who control
and conduct abolition newspapers. 1t is
for the people to decide whether they will
sanction such degrading programme.

NEGROES IN CHAINS. The North is get

them not desirable acquisition to her

handcuffcd to long chain, were marched
up through Greenwich street few days
ago, from the direction Of the jersey Fer

Of the conductors Of this sable train that
they were convicts. This cxcites more
curiosity concerning the unusual pheno-
menon, and suggests the query whether
we are going to be burdcned, not only

her black criminals also? Ifso, VIC should

r. p..,,n,v, Avn +uv CONSTITUTION.

TuE PRESIDENT AND THE CONSTITUTION
President Lincoln, says the Hartford
(Conn.) Times, on assuming the duties oi
President of the United States, took the
following oath:
ct do solemnly swear that I wilt tHft1s
fullv execute the Office Of President Of the
United States, and will, to the best Of my
ability. preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution Of the United States.
This same Constitution says, in Article
4, Section 8:
"No new State shall be formed or
erected within the jurisdiction OF any
other State, nor any State be formed oy
the junction of two or more States. with
out the consent Of the Legislatures oi the
S0E,e 541. .,aSped, as well As Of Congress
A new State has been formed by act of
Congress, within the jurisdiction of Vir'
einia. without the consent Of the Legisla'
ture of the State concerned, and Presi-
dent Lincoln has signed the bill.
Article 4 of the Constitution says:
"The right of people to be secure in
their persons, houses, papers and effects
against unreasonable searches and selz'
ures shall not be violated"
The searches and seizures ofteIegraph-
ic dispatches by authority of the Pres'-
dent, were in violation Of this clause Of
the Constitution.
Article 8 orthe Constitution says;
"Nor shall any person be
deprived of life, liberty, or property With
out due process Of law"
The President has deprived many
peaceable citizens Of their liberty with
out due process of law and by his proc
lamation, for which there is no authority,
he proposes to deprive citizens OF ten
States, whether they are Union or rebel,
Of their property.
The FIRST article and eighth section ot
the Constitution enumcrates the powers
conferred upon Congressman the ninth
section OF the same article deSignates the
prohibitions by which Congress is speci-
ally restricted, one of which is as fol-
lows:
"The privilege Of the writ Of habeas
corpus shall not be suspended, unless
when, in cases Of rebellion or invasion,
the public safety may equire it"
This does not apply to the authority
conferred upon.the President, that being
embraced in another article. It applies
solely to Congress. Still the President
hasassumed the authority to suspend the
privilege Of the writ, and that too, when
the public safety did not require it.
