to make alLthe gents respect me, and to be-
lieve me to be Mason in fact, told one of
them was such, and they really did believe
it-some of them the women all knew bet
ter, of course; aud while was flirting with
them and talking to them about my neigh
bors' little faults, and trying to convince them
that l have a "profound respect" for th e
order of Masons too, wby,sNr Edter, Ireally

having created much of an impression at that
time have concluded to try by every means
in my power to get even on those unappreei-
alive people, and make them know, if posi-

Ds. BELLOWS ON "LIFE," &c.-We observe
in an Eastern journal report of an address
by Rev. DR.. Bellows, late of San Francisco.
1t is entitled g Life in California, and the
Pacific Coast" In looking over the report
of the address we are forcibly reminded of a
fact which the observation of some years upon
this coast has shown to be correct. tits this j:
No man reared and educated in the Atlantic
States, can come to this Coast and gain,
through the observation of any six months,
or any one year, correct idea of the people,
their characteristics, manners and modes of
thought. We do not believe that any un-
travelled, inexperienced individual ever came
here and left the country inside of two years,
who returned with any correct idea of the
country or its people. Nee, like DR.. Bellows,
may come to San Francisco, and take two or
three flying trips across the interior, and go
home again, and deliver very entertaining
lecture He may endeavor to be truthful =
but the truth will not be in him, because it
was never WORN in, He may endeavor to de-
scribe the country but it will be merely
comparison between THAT country not THIS
not description of the Coast as it stands upon
its own merits A new conner cannot get his
eyes open to see things as they really are in
six months, or three times six months. He
cannot understand the motives or feelings
which influence the action of its people, un-
less he has undergone like experience with
them. He may understand portion of the
citizens of San francisco, who brought with
them their old habits and opinions, and who
have never given them California airing
except upon the deck of an Oakland ferry.
boat; but he can never understand Califor-
MAN until he becomes one himself AS well
might denizen of the moon attempt to fur
nish a faithful description of the inhabitants
of earth, as for DR.. Bellows to give truthful
exposition of Life on the Pacific Coast"

The RUSH NoRTHWARD.-All accounts from
the lower country agree in the opinion that
the emigration from California and from Or
egon TO the Northern gold districts will be
very large this Spring. Mr. Bledsoe, who
came up last week, thinks that from twenty
to thirty thousand people will come into the
Territory. A California correspondent of
the Portland Oregonian says:
81 find quite general belief existing here
that California is about to experience another
of those depopulating stampedes, some esti-
mating that $4,000 to 10000 people will go
north in the Spring, mostly to Idaho. This
is attributable to your truly fattering ship.
ment of gold dust the past season, and to
the dull state of affairs in Nevada and Cali
fornia."
There is annually grand deportation from
the old mining country to the new. About
the time the wild geese turn their heads to-
ward the Polar star, and the cranes, in the
dim elevations, are soaring toward the unin-
habited parts of "the great NORTH" men
seem to be seized with corresponding in
stinct, desert their ancient haunts, pack up
q few of their. !" household gods" and wind
their way into the new Territories. Washoe
has engnlphed large portion of that no.
madic element during the past four years,
but WashOe's day is over, and Tdahois now
theprevailiug rage. The class of people who
will arrive here in the Spring will be very
different from that which flooded the Boise
Basin one year ago. Men of capital are be-
coming interested in the country. The S. F.
Golden Era, republishing an article in the
Idaho WORLD come time ago, censuring the
Nevada papers for prejudice ard misrepre-
sensations against this Territory, remarks that
" the arrival of SAC, oOo in silver bricks from
a single mill in the Owyhee silver district,
and the heavy receipts of bullion from other
sections Of the Owyhee mines, have awakened
the liyeliest interest in the progress of that
remote Territory" The change Of opinion
IS sensibIy manifested in the articles of all
the leading papers of that city, and is con-
Grmed by private correspondence through
various sources.

Mr.. ]. NJ. MOORE arrived here this week
from San Francisco, bringing with him some
additional machinery for the quartz mill at
.Owyhee. he reports that this Territory will
be visited, in the Spring, by representatives
!of'sOme of the leading capitalists of San
Francisco, on tour of inspection through the
quartz Mines. A large emigration from Call
Ifornia is treading northward, most of which
will find the way to Idaho.

HoT SPRINGs IN SNAKE RIvER-We made,
as an item, last week, notice of the fact that
Snake River, near Lewiston, has not frozen
over during the Winter; aud also, that the
same river near dds Ferry, on the Stage
road, has been frozen so solidly that wagons
with forty hundred upon them daily cross
upon the ice. Mr.. r.. Bledsoe, of W., F. &
Co. Express, furnishes us with an explana
ton OF this phenomenon At some distance
above Lewiston, there is a large number of
hotsprings in the bottom Of the river. The
water of these springs is SO warm that it
affects the temperature of the stream very
perceptiby. During the Summer the water
IS not tit to drink-its use producing nausea.
Many persons who have examined the loca-
ton and character of the springs, believe
them to be the outlets of large subterranean.
stream, perhaps connected with the warm,
sulphurous springs which are common along
the Eastern base of the Blue Mountains.
Whatever may be their source, their exist
ence satisfactorily explains the cause of the
river being open at that point and thence
down to its junction with the Columbia,
while it is frozen solid both above and be-
low.

enough to extinguish the flames of the Infer
nal Regions.
Have not the men of Ada had quite enough
of this2 Do they want TIVE years more Of it ?
If there is any man there so destitute of man
illness, weak of purpose, SO slavish as to
lick the hand that cuffs him, we hope that
man will vote the "citzens'" ticket now,
and be buried beneath its ruins forever after
wards. Let him never desecrate the honored
name of Democrat again, or expect from that
band of brave, honest, steadfast men, any
thing else than eternal contempt.
For that class of men who, like Wendell
Phillips, declare that they never will cease
their labors " until the ideas of Massachusetts

who steadfastly press On year after year in.
the attainment of their purpose, we can have
some respect; but Tor those who, in the
eyentful hour of action, from cowardice, in
difference, petty spite or personal advantage,
shrink away, or with the hand of a parricide
or suicide assist in the destruction of their
own party and friends, they are entitled to no
respect. Neither pas nor future services can
wipe away the record of their treason.
The time is rapidly coming when the Dem
ocratic party will once more govern the ma
tion, and on that day it will meet these
deserters, if any there be, with that crushing
interrogatory that met Bunyan's Christian
beneath the quaking mountain to which
Worldly Wisemen had led him" What dcst
thou hele2" Conscience will rise in judg-
ment against him, and sting him forever with
the CALLING recollection of the day when
blinded, befooled, like sheep to the slaugh
ter pen, he, Democrat, went up to the polls
with an Abolition ticket in his hand.
That thecitizens ticket will meet with as
crushing defeat as it would have done under
its proper name, we do not doubt. They
previously mistake the temper of the people
who suppose they can tamper with parties
on election day with quack nostrhms. The
Democratic party is the only Peoples party.
1t has always been OF the people and FOR THE
PEOPLE. There is no halfway house between
parties. Between 'tthe pass and fell points
of mighty Spposites everything must go
down. The issue, and theI only issue, is be-
tween Democracy and Republicanism.
Ada county is young and thriving. Let
her in this, the first election, teach the NAL
contents that as Ada is now free and Demo-
cratic, so it will remain. Execute the Re-
publican party now or the block of the
ballot box, and its tumbling headfess form
will never trouble you again. Galvanize its
waning powers now, and it win turn upon
you as the snake upon the bosom of the con-
fding countryman who took it from the frost
and warmed it to life. Press onward along
the straight highway of PRINCIPLE, turning
neither to the right nor the left. Onward,
with faith, with hope, with courage, inspired
with the divine impulse of an irresistible
purpose, and there is no power nor influence
that can be be brought against you to pre-
vent a certain, complete and overwhelming
triumph.
