MEETING OF TIE LEGISLATURE. E.-The
sixteenth session Of the California Legis.
lature will commence on Monday next
1t will be a mixed body, composed Of
Democrats, Conservatives and Radicals.
If the conservatives unite with the Dem.
ocrats, they can control the Legislature,
and the people may anticipate wholesome
legislation if they unite with the Radi-
Gals, the best interests Of the State will
be sacrificed. Two years ago, the lead
ing organ Of the Republican party tells
US, the Republican party "Scnt to the
Legislature convenient tools Of jayhawk.
ing bankers and greedy importers and
these convenient TOOLS" the same au.
thority informs US, were "bribed to vote
for nefarious laws! 1t is reasonable to
presume that, flattered by their former
success, the "jayhawking bankers and
greedy importers" manipulated the lead
ers Of the Republican party last summer
and "bribed" them to again send to the
Legislature convenient tools )" and from
such legislators nothing good gan be ex-
pected. They go to the Legislature with
the expectation and for the purpose of
being "bribed," and they will be greatly
disappointed if corruption fund o.
$50, 900" or more is not raised for their
benefit That amount, the San Francisco
Flag says, was raised by 'jayhawking
bankers and greedy importers" for their
Republican predecessors. By the Con-
servatives uniting with the Democrats
they can defeat the "nefarious bills" Of
the convenient tools Of ofjayhawking bank
ers and greedy importers" 1t depends,
therefore, on the Conservatives whether
the next Legislature will be a blessing or
a curse to the State.

Costly LUxURY.-The negroes Of the
South are free-made so by "the Gov
ernment" at vast expense Of blood and
treasure; and the expense still continues.
Gen. Saxton writes from South Carolina
that $4,000 blankets and large supplies
Of clothing, &C., will be needed this win
ter in that State for the freedmen" and
other Government pensioners and such
will be the case, for years to come, prob
ably. The Government has won an ele-
plant in its Abolition rattle, whose main.
tenance is likely to be pretty burdensome.
1t is sweet little luxury, but rather ex.
pensive, as the tax payers feel and know.

TRE NEGRo's FRIENDS The radical
leadefs say it will be 'cruel to the freed
men to leave them among their enemies
at the South" II these be their enemies,
asks the New Haven Register, in Heavens
name where are there friends! There
are 1900, 900 of helpless blacks. most oI
them accustomed to as much care as in
fants, suddenly thrown on their own re.
sources, and told to ''live in freedom."-
They will mostly remain at the South,
and it will be for the interests, as'it will
be the wish Of the white people, to make
them useful and comfortable. They must
work wherever they are-and whoever
puts different notion in their heads, is
their worst enemy. They are not want
ed at the North nor could they, in con-
siderable numbers, yet living there
The South is the best place for them, and
Southern people their best friends. Send
them North, and there would soon be an
irrepressible conflict" between them
and the white laborers.

JoHNsoN's MTssIoS.-The New York
correspondent of the London Herald says
that ina conversation with President
johnson the latter said, that the mission
of his Administration was to reconcile the
South to union with the Northern people
and allay' the bitterness and hate Of both
sections. If he accomplishes this object
the hight of his ambition will / e attained.
All true friends of the Republic will re-
ioice if his mission can be successful. To
secure this success, however, his friends
must aid the Democracy in politically an
nihilating the radical wing Of the Repub-
lican party. AS long as that snakes
head is above ground, there can be no
permanent peace and union between the
two sections of the country. Agitation
Of the negro question. in some shape or
other, is necessary to the existence of the
radicals as party. They boast that they
have q majority in Congress- and that they
will controlits action; and if they do, their
whole legislation will be against the South.
They hate the South, dread its power and
influence, and will resort to any means,
no matter how despicable, to keep her
representatives out of Congress and pre-
vent cordial re. union. But we hope and
believe that large majority of the peo-
pie, North and South, will endorse the
Presidents plan, as that plan will recon.
cile both sections and secure permanent
peace. This is what the masses want and
will have, in spite of the opposition of the
radicals. On Monday next Congress
meets, and in oil PROBABILITY the fight will
then commence between the conservatives
and radicals for the organization of the
House, and if the radicals triumph they
will try to intimidate the President, and,
failing in that, they will do everything in
their power to embarrass and render odi
Gus his Administration. 1t will then be
the duty of the Democrats and conserva.
tives to unite to sustain the President in
bis fight against the radicals.

BUCHANAN vNDIcArED.-The whole

BUCHANAN VINDIcATED.-The whole
Abolition press and their entire rabble Of
orators, from the highest to the lowest,
have for years denounced Mr.. Buchanan
as a sympathizer with the South and
traitor because be did not take measures
to "nip the rebellion in the bud; in 9th.
er words, because be did not inaugurAte
the war by attacking the confederates be-
fore the assault upon Fort Sumpter. This
matter has been made the foundation for
persistent slander upon the Democracy
and constant villi6cation Of Mr.. Buchanan.
But when it becomes necessary to justify
the acts Of their own favOrites, these lick.
spittles are prompt to ,extol this very
course of Mr. Buchanan as wise and pa.
triotic. For instance Mr.. Blair, PostmAs-
ter General under Mr.. Lincoln, recently
made some very damaging charges against
Judge Advocate Holt, who was in Mr..
Buchanan's Cabinet, in relation to the
neglect to relieve Fort SoDP.er u DirsS.
flying his own conduct Holt finds it nec-
essary to do justice to Mr.. Buchanan and
to demonstrate the knavery Of his own
present associates. He now declares that
Mr.. Bucbanan's policy was "the true pol
ICY" In his reply to Blair be says:
THAT the batteries around Sumpter were
not fired upon, while in course Of construction,
was because the President shrunk from the
dread responsibility Of inauguratinE civil war,
and deemed forbsarance his duty, not because
be was restrained by any agreement or under
standing whatever. Looking at the glorious
results OF the war. and remembering how won
derOusly Providence has dealt with US in its
progress, and how sublimely the firing upon
instead Of from Fort Sumptsr, served to arouse,
instruct and unite the nation, and 70 inHame
its martial and patriotic spirit, We stand awe.

THANKSGIVING DAY.-The President has set
apart Thursday next as . day of National
Thanksgiving. We have much to be thankful
for, and should manifest our thaukfulness to
God for His num6erless blessings in becom-
ing mauuer-meekly, fervenuy, reverently.-
But il Il be made the occasion for Northern ex-

The Poisansd chalIcs.

During the four years reign of blood
aud terror, which almost converted this
once free and happy land into . cemetery
and dungeon, liberty Of speech aud of the
press were luxuries too costly to be af.
forded BY any but The minions of power,
snd the shUddy. recipients of Government
patronage. The great body of the intel
ligence OF the nation, was virtually ex-
cluded from their enjoyment, and they
were left to be reveled in by the beastly
herd Of fanatics who had, unfortunately
for she country, and to the disgrace of
mankind, broken into the temple of polit-
icaI power. No man dared to criticise an
act OF the Administration, who was un-
willing to incur the danger of confinement
in some hoathsome cell, Of some poison
exhaling prison house.
Notwithstanding it has been k6Swn in
the civilized world since the birth Of lib
erty, that "an eNslaved press is dOubly
fatal; it not only takes away the true
light for in that case we might stand
still, but it sets up false one that de-
coys us to our destruction" yet we
found throughout the late war, every
journal advocating the measures of the
Administration, in favor of the violent
destruction Of every other journal, that
ventured to call in question the most law
less and unconstitutional act Of the party
in. power. But change has transpired.
The journals most in favor Of the suppress.
sion of popular sentiment during the pro
gress Of the war, because that popular
sentiment, in some instances, was adverse
to the policy Of the Administration, are
now the most blatant in their denuncia.
ton Of the Administration. All such
ought to be "Quattlebumed."
One Of the most impudent of these
howlers against the honest and free ex-
preston Of individual or public opinion,
during the carnival Of fanaticism, was the
Oakland News, the hollow and idiotic
echo of a louder bowler on the other side
Of the Bay of San Francisco. And yet
the conductors of that sheet have the au.
dacity to publish in their columns the fol-
lowing paragraph:
A MUzzLED PREss.-The Austrian press is
muzzled so that it dare not utter word against
the Emperor or his admlnistra tiOn of public
affairs The editors may praise as much as
they please. They have consequently adopted
the plan-when they wish to be understood as
bestowing censure-of clothing their thoughts
in the language of honied sarcasm, so over.
wrought that the reader cannot fail to discover
the meaning intended. BY this means the ty
rant who wishes to escape, is exposed to dOu-
BILE form of announcement. He is made an OBJ
ject Of ridicule as well rs Of indirect censure.
Can impudence further 60? Until that
political jackal found that his superior
did not relish the food that he could pur-
vey, he was hot after the blood of every
freeman who would dare to express him
self freely. Now, be is shocked at the
idea Of "a muzzled press" Let him be-
ware that the poisoned chal;ce he has
been presenting to some of his cotempo-
rates, for long time past, is not com
mended to his own lips.

RESPECT FOR HIS OATH.-A few months
ago, Gen. Banks, the hero of cotton ex-
peditions and defeats, declared on oath
that be was citizen of Louisiana, and
was admitted to the bar as such. That
was when there was a,xacancy in the
United States Senate; when that was
filed by somebody else, Banks became a
citizen Of Massachusetts,, again. His oath
seem to have no binding effect upon him.
