THE New England people are getting
sick OF the suspension of the act of recipro,
city with Canada, and are taking action to
have the matter reconsidered by Congress.
The repeal of the act was intended as pun
lshment of the people Of Canada for an al
legged VIC lation of the neutrality laws, but its
effect is found to be very disastrous to the
merchants and manufacturers OF the Eastern
States. A great diversion Of trade has taken
place, and the removal of Canadian competi
ton has operated to encourage exortion ate
prices. Massachusetts Is suffering greatly
for the want of that market, hence she is de
sirous Of having the old order OF things re-.
stored Union Democrat.

DECEAsE OF HIRAM +. HAwKINe.-On the
first page Of to'day's Herald will be found
an extract from the Sacramento Bee, an
nouncing the death Of Hiram r. Hawkins,
U. s. Counsel to Tumbez, Peru. Mr.. H.,
was one of the early pioneers CT Placer, and
resided many years in Auburn, where he
first arrived on the llth Of July, ls40. He
came ''around the Horn" on the ship Tama-
roo, in company with E. G.. Smith, Of this
place, and II. I. Holmes, now Of San Fran
cisco. Like nearly all early adventures Mr..
Hawkins "mined," and the first work that
be and his company done, was on Dead
Mans Bar, on the North Fork of the Ameri-
can River Upon the organization Of Pa-
Ger county, in 1851, he was candidate for
County Clerk, bat upon canvass of the
votes, Mr.. James 7. Stewart was declared
elected, Mr.. Uawk kins, however, was appoint
ed Deputy, aud performed the principal
business Of the Office for the term. lie az
terwards filled the office of Justice Of the
Peace, for this township. and made an ex'
cellent officer. After the expiration Of his
official position he became one Of the pro-
pretors and editor of the 1u6u,n Wing,
and when the Wing party died out, be edited
the Know n othing organ known as the
Placer Press, and we believe for time
wrote for the Union Advocate.
Mr.. Hawkins married Miss Echols, of
this place, and had three children, two Of
whom are buried with his wife, in our little
burying ground. His Oldest son-John-is
living with his grand father-Ezekial Haw,
kins-in Lansingburg, New York.
In 1868, Mr.. H., settled in Gold Hill,
Nevada, and became the editor of the Gold
Hill News. In 1865 he received the ap-
pointment of Counsel to Tumbez, since
which time be has resided at that place
lie was born at Lansingburg, and was about
40 years Of age. He was man of peculiar
requirements, and was very companionabe
interesting and entertaining. Peace to his
ashes.

Change of Base.

To an "outsder" it is astonishing to see
the workings of the "wire'puIlers' OF the
Abolition party in this County at the pres
ent time. The recent sale of the Stars and
Stripes by Mr.. Boggs, and the hosting OF
Sekirk to the editorial chair bas created
quite buzzing in their camp. In certain
circles of the Abolition party it is understood
and talked of that the organ is to work TOR
the Pacific Railroad interest-whlch means
securing members to the next Legislature
who will vote for John Conness for L. S.
Senator, and also secure delegates to their
next State onvention-headed by Selkilk,-
who is to manipulate other smaN matters
that are needed by bis hackers. In fact, the
party is to be drilled to throw overheard
poor Sargent, of Nevada county, who hereto
fore has had stronghold upon the affections
of the faithful in this section, and the county
is to be completely Connessized. And con'
nectod with this programme, there are GER
tain little equity matters which the new ed
itor of the Stripes, is reported, will attend to-
Mr.. Lyons, for instance, the present Record
er. will have bis nose knocked out Of joint
by the nomination Of Bill Sexton, ex-Sheriii
for bis position; and Bill Spear, having held
office long enough, must give place to Amos
F. Cove, an eslmable and worthy old citi-
zen OF Placer; and as for tLe County Treas
urership, the present incumbent is to be
thrown overheard nirely from the fact that
he is suspected Of having little copper
ii bis composition.
The new editor, in his issue Of Wednes
day last has an article on County Politics" !"
TO be sure be has! lie wants to compare
opinious' and "caImly Deliberate while
yerybody is "cool." That is, fix up things"
before anybody gets committed for Sargent,
or for Spear, or for Lyon. Honest old Sci" :"

the Stripes wants to be Generalissimo Of bis
party, and be takes quiet way Of inducting
himself into the office. There was swearing

Perhaps, it may be said this is mono Of
our business. We do not claim it be. But
when men tall, to US we sometimes listen,
and we simply give publication to what we
hear. The future will prove whether our I'M

Eg- The Chicago Tribune brings to the
surface the Fact that the New England States
with population Of a little over three mil
inns, have National Ban, currency ofoyer
100000, 900; The Western States, with a
population of nine and half millions, have
only &53, 600 000, and New York, with pop
uIation greater than all The New England
States, has only sos 100000. This is anoth-
er way, remarks the Madison Union, in which
that thriving population Of Yankees have

A TINE TO PAUsE.-1he San Francisco
Examiner truthfully remarks, in article
under the above caption:
Fools may howl and madmen may rave,
but it is not within the possibilities for a
body organized in defiance Of the Constilu
ton and of equivoca Legitimacy, to remove
or suspend the Executive power Of great
people. When you can tear the heart out
of the human body and permit it to live, then
may you expect to witness this. 1t needs
therefore, no official organ to tell "that ifthe
Radical majority in Congress pursues its treal
sonable course much longer tie Adminstra'
ton, in order to sustain itself, will arm its
supporters;' nor, to 'advse the opposition Of
this determined and fixed fact, that Andrew
johnson will serve out the Constitutional
term Of office" If the issue of force is made
let those who press it to that dread alterna-
tive bear the responsibility.
But do the people desire more wal? Do
'uey "'su W oee ehhluuleu again tue lieo "a
civil strife? Have they not seen enough Of
human misery!-e enough of destruction Of
property? Are not the labor and industry Of
the country fettered with sufficient burden
OF taxation? Is the nation not staggering un.
der weight Of debt already heavy enough!
Have we not more widows and orphans
North and South, than should satisfy the
bloody cravings Of all the demons Of pande'
monium! Why, then, this persistence in
course which must of necessity eventuae in
similar scenes to those through which the
country agonized during the first four years
of Radical ruie, and which must entail upon
US thousand fold greater disasters and evils
in the future?

THE CROOKED PATH.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES,

All, here it is, the sliding rail,
That marks the old remembered spot
The gap that struck our schoolboy trail
The crooked path across the lot.
1t left the road by school and church,
A penciled shadow, nothing more,
That parted from the silver birch,
And ended at the farmhouse door.
No line or compass traced its plan,
With frequent bends to left or right,
In aimless, hayward curves 1t ran,
But always kept the door in sight.
The gabled porch. with woodland green
The broken milestone at the sill,-
Though many rood might stretch between
The truant child could see them still.
No rocks across the pathway lie.
No fallen trunk is DER it thrown
And yet 1t winds, we know not why,
And turns as if for tree or stone.
Perhaps some lover trod the way
With shaking knees and quaking heart
And so it often runs astray
With sinuous sweep or sudden start.
Or one, perchance with clouded brain
From some unholy banquet reeled,-
And since, our devious steps maintain
His track across the trodden field.
Nay, deem not thus-no earth born will
Could ever trace faultless line;
Our truest steps are human STILL
To walk answering were divine!
1ruants from love, we dream of WRATH
o, rather let us trust the more!
Through all the wanderings of the path,
We still can see our Fathers ooor.
