The DIFFERANcE.-The large number of
sacks of public documents, books, seeds, etc, !,
passing through the Marysvile Postoffce un-
der the frank of the Oregon Senators and NJ
C.'s, has frequently attracted attention and
comment. During this Session of the Con.
gre~s, these sacks arriving on the monthly
steamer will average not less than twenty.
The contrast between the attention and po-
liteness of the Oregon Representatives in
Congress and the California Representatives
is bought in strong view by the abundance
of Congressional publications going past us.
While thousands of those sacks are being
passed thr ugh the Marysville office, for Or
egon, barely one single sack has been sent
here for distribution. This is singular
omission in our M. C's and Senators, and so
fagrant that it was worthy of notice and GEN.
sure. Our Representatives at Washington
should remember that there is to be another
Congressional Election this Fall. and that
these little attentions to their wiling con-
stituents have tendency to assuage political
asperities. MaayspiUe Appeal.
Not one has ever stopped in our midst.

FAIRS. raffles, and festivals are of almost
every day occurrence with the Catholic
Church--bu always to raise money for their
own charitable institutions. On such ,ocea-
sions, Protestants are among the most liberal
contributors Does any one know of an in
ctance in which the Church has identified
itself with movement in aid of the Sanitary
Fund Flag.
Filings like the above, at particular churches
or creeds, are not only illiberal and unjust,
but when indnlged in by professed Union pa
pers, are calculated to injure the Union
cause. In the matter of fairs and festivals,
we cannot see that the condrct of the Cath
ollie differs from the Protestant Church. As
to the Sanitary Fund neither of the Church.
es. as Church. has, to our knowledge iden-
titled itself with a movement in aid of the
Fund. We earnestly protest against the per-
sistent efforts of some to array religious, Sec
tartan, and national prejudices against each
other. At all times such course of conduct
is to be depreciated and more especially in
such times as Sacramento Bee.
Our sentiments are quite fully expressed
by the Bee We have failed to see that all
the loyalty has been monopolized by any
Church or sect. 1t has Leen our pride to
feel that Union sentiment predominated in
all the Churches, sects, classes. and parties
excepting, of course, the Democrats
throughout the land.
