ton take. place in San Francisco, in Sep.
tember, there is considerable activity in the
enrolment and registration Of voters. So
those recorded in the Great Register, are
naturaized citizens. Beside these, many
citizens are simply enrolled upon the poll
lists. which will enti,ls them to vote at the
coming election. The Bulletin. in alarm,
announces that the large majority SO far reg
istered and enrolled are Democrats, and un-
less the Abolitionists wake up, they will be
completely overwhelmed in September.-
But tha, paper is forced to admit that the
Registry law is unpopular with many Abo'
itionists, who regard it as insulting to their
citizenship, to be compelled to prove their
nativity, and therefore evince an inditfsr
ence to aegstration. This is something un'
looked for by the advocates Of a Registry
law. They expected it would be universally
popular with their party, as it threw obsta
cles in the way of the registration Of natu.
ralized voters, that they hoped would pre-.
vent the registration of many sucb, who
were almost certain to vote the Democratic
ticket, while they expected to enroll their
ing put in practice, it is working contrary to
the expectation Of the scheuers-the Abo,
litonists Of San Francisco are lukewarm,
while the Democrats and naturaized citizens,
indignant at the attempt to restrict the right
of suffrage, are active in fulfilling the re,
quireinents Of the law (unconstitutional as
they believe it 10 be) in order to thwart their
opponents in securing the political advauta'
ges they foudly hoped to obtain.
Twice and thrice a week, the Bulletin
sounds note of alarm, or utters mournful
plant, that those being registered are mostly
Democrats and nothing short Of a general
awakening among the Abolitionists, will save
them Waterloo defeat in September.
We are glad to note these auspicious signs,
and hope The Democracy Of the Bay City
will continue the work they have entered
upon, with undated zeal, and never cease
until they cause the Bulletin and its co,work,
ers to realize to the fullest extent their
mournful predictions of the coming election.
We want to see the Registry law nfamy
the means Of sounding the political death
knell of the party that originated it,
Mr.. SEwARD's Pos1rIoN time is
not far back, when Mr.. Seward, as one O.
the fathers of Abolitionism, was the very
highest authority in the party, and his word
was accepted as law amorg the faithful
But since his followers have given ear to the
teachings of such radicals as Sumner and
Stevens. he has become to be regarded not
only with suspicion by the very men whom
be first indoctrinated in Abolition sentiments,
but he is receiving their fierce auatbemas,
because of his conservative position in the
present political crisis. He has. on several
occasions, before the public. supported the
plan Of restoration inaugurated by the Pres
dent, and shown not only its feasibility but
justice, and its happy effects in restoring or.
der gnd good feeling. His late speech at his
home, in Auburn, New York, was thor.
ough and ample vindication of the Presi-
dents policy, and without recrimination, very
clearly showed who were the presen. mis-
cbief-makers in the country He found them
TO be composed Of several factions--and it
is worthy Of remark that be did not find
these factions among the people Of the South
or in the Democratic party, Tut within the
lines Of the so-called Union organization
1t was men assuming leadership in that
patty-men who are constantly Wanting
their patriotism and devotion to the Union
who are the obstacles 10 pac6cation, and
a complete and thorough restoration of the
Union under the Constitution. Wthou,
passion and in no apparent spirit Of acri
mony, he has gibbetted these leaders before
the attention of the nation, and shown to all
men the dsorganizers and revolutionists
who now disturb the general peace and bar
mony. And it is these who must be re-
proved and condemned.
ln conclusion he expresses hope in the
mass of the Union party-hope in the Dem
ocratic party, tina. they will restore this ma
ton in unity, strength, and fraternity.
This speech has brought down the wrath
of the radicals and their organs-an evil
dence that they smart under the reproof Of
their former leader, and at the same time
fear its damaging effect against them with
he people in the approaching fall elections
CIsco.-This is the name given to tn,
new town now SO rapidly growing at Hea

Twenty houses have been completed, and a
many more are in the course of construction
As at this place is the point of divergence
from the stage route (and probably from the
railroad) to Meadow Lake, its growth to a
bustling and important town is considered
assured. Cisco is at a much less altitude
