Notices.---Our patrons are informed that all legal notices have as much legal effect when published in our columns, as when in thore of a Democratic paper. All summons. administrators’ notices, &c. &c., may be published in the Jovrat in spite of the intrtgues of the County Judge. We trust our friends will not be again as they have been, misled and imposed upon, to give up their right of publishing where they please that which they have to pay for, by the manoeuvres of Judge Caswell for another paper for political advantage to himeelf. BUDD & SKELTON. The Coming Election. We are not of those who regard?partizan strife as a necessary element for man; neither do we look upon those who differ with us on points of national policy, as heretics or political reprobates. But several years of observation have proved to us that when parties are once established largely in power, they become lamentably corrupt. Not because political success makes an honest man corrupt; but for other reasons, easily understood. It is well known that a large number of men act not from a conviction of what is right—but from motives of self interest. Such men cannot be called Whigs or Democrats. Because their adherence to either party is secured only by the hope of political reward at some short period hence. Again, surrounding circumstances have a tendency to influence the actions of men, and when parties are near equally divided, and the party successes are varied, even dishonest men are constrained to hold their baser passions in check, lest the retribution they deserve be visited upon them. But let the party once be established in power, soas to give them confidence in their strength, and the hydra-headed monster, selfishness and corruption, makes his appearance. But let this corruption be winked at by the people for a year or two, and all the corrupt and base time-serving political bucksters and demagogues in the country and of al] factions centre around the nucleus thus formed, and grow clamorous to be rewarded for their services done the party, and by a system of tactics well understood by professional politicians, they continue to retain all political preferments among themselves, in spite of the many iniquities practised—until the people, with. a united effort rise and throw off the grievous burthen thus imposed upon them. Legal Notices—Judge Caswell. The Democrat, laudably zealous where its own nest is being feathered, attempts to. upheld Judge Caswell in the mean practi-. ces we charged on him last week, and to; secure a continuance of his favors. It, says : “The Nevada Journal, after enjoying for. ~ nearly a year the benefits of the ‘stamp act’ complains bitterly if the County Judge directs that a legal notice shall be published in the Democrat.” The only answer needed to the above is a reference to the course of the Journal regarding the stamp act. April 15th, 1853, the Journal held the following language, the act then being before the Senate, haying passed the House :— “The last instance of excessive recklessness and unfairness of the Assembly that we have seen, was a bill passed on the 7th, entitled “a bill to provide for the better publication of official and legal notices.” “The whole scheme is the emanation of paltry scheming unworthy of a deliberative body, and degmding to those who must be¢ »ntrolled by it. Are not merchants and administrators able to elect their own mediums for advertising?” “The whole matter carries absurdity in the face of it, and resembles the freak of an eastern Pasha, rather thaw inlelligent, representative legislation. It is not possible this bill can pass the Senate. It is too bald. It is the most indefensible measure ever entertained even iu the California Legislature, and even the Transcript while eyeing wistfully the spoils, commends it with shamed face.” It was the party the Democrat upholds which passed the stamp act. The Journal was the only paper in Nevada county, and the act was forced on it. We had no responsibility, and spit in the man’s face who charges us witu it. We never fawned at the feet of legislators or county judges, and flattered their vanities to get admission te public plunder. We did not as did the Democrat supplicate the Legislature to reenact in our favor. And we will not praise and defend a public officer in print, and use him for our own purposes, and then sneer if whispers at him behind his back! The Democrat touches but half the question. We alluded not only to summonses, the publication of which are ordered by a Court, but to probaie notices of various kinds, declarations of intention to do business, §c., over which any assumption of authority by Judge Caswell is a fraud on rights of others. His interference ia these has often been complainingly neticed to us. Fame has it that the editor of the Dem‘ocrat, T. H. Rolfe, is himself a candidate for the office of Judge Caswell. If so, the A more glaring demonstration of the . present “County Judge” can not certainly truth of this picture than exists in this state at the present time, and has for the past two years, is seldom presented to our view. The democratic party has been predominent. With united efforts the people have centittued to elect the men put forward by their leaders, and in turn the successful ones have uniformly united and worked together to accomplish their various objects of continued success and personal aggtandisement, wholly losing sight of the work for which they were elected. This system of corruption has been unmitigated, and even unconcealed in all departments ef our government—Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Of late, however, they have, we think, grown too large, and overreached themselves. They have got too numerous. The spoils, bountifully as they have been dealt out, are insufficient to satisfy their cravings ; and the people’s rights seem to have been forgotten in the general scramble after the plunder. From indications which seem to be unmistakable, we believe that next September will waken them up toa sense of the duties they have left unperformed—and the wrongs they have committed during the time of their unlimited and unrestrained power. Political changes must take place, and the time for this to happen has now fully come in California. Where honest, able men are denied by the ruling conventions—those political hot-beds from which spring so many unscrupulous demagogues, the voters are determined no longer to be governed by their dictations. Let the Whigs but be true to themselves—let them but set before the péople pees rie as candidates—men of sufficient mind to comprehend the wants of the people of California—men who have at stake something more than their hope of plunder—who have at heart the good of California—and we have every reason to believe they will be fairly and even largely represented in our legislature and other offices after Sep“ember next. a, i Bae The Methodist and Presbyterian Sabbath Schools will turn out in procession on the 4th of Jnly. We rejoice to see these institutions indicate as much prosperity as they do. In the procession, each school is to be headed by a most magnificent banner ; and marching to some grove, probably on Turner's Ranch, Woods’ Ravine, will be served with a most clegant and sumptuous repast, and listen to some appropriate addresses, — Fatau Accipenr._.W illiam Downey, formerly of Warren Co. Kentucky, and more recently from West Vernon Co,, M issouri, where he has a mother and sisters residing, was killed on Wednesday last at Montezuma, about six miles from here by the handle of the windlass at which he was at work, striking him on the render the editor much assistance ia his “purposes.” We shall watch the fight with interest, trusting it may realize in its issue tht of the memorable Kilkenny cats. We advise the editor to have recourse however to his “grammer book” a little more extensively before “making a splurges in his pwn elegant language he promises to do if nominated. Considering the shght materials of which County Judges have been made in this county, we see nothing in particular to discourage him. The present incumbent is an encouraging ex» ample of small beginnings. The cornucopia has not much enlarged, we must admit, to~ wards the other end. Sacramento Valley Railroad. We take the following extract from the Union of the 20th. The editor seems to speak from personal observation ; and from it, too, we would judge, the letting will take place in a short time ;— Mr. Judah has drawn maps and profiles of the road, which ata glaace show the face of the country, the course of the river, the line of the wagon road, and the two lines which have been run and marked for the railroad. One of these is the experimental line, which was run before the face of the country had been examined ; tne other he is new running and locating, as the probable line of the road. This line on Saturday, had been located to Alder Creek, which is some eighteen miles from the city. It is run from the city limits back of all the farms on Brighton flat, and strikes about half a mile north of the Sutter race course ; thence to near the ten mile house. where a slight curve was found necessary. From this point the line is perfectly straight to Mr. Buckley’s Monte Cristo house, and the cutting and filling at no point exceeds three feet. By running outside the former ‘to the ten mile house, the distance is in« creased some six hundred yards, but from that point to the Monte Cristo House, the direct fine shortens the distance, as compared with the road, a thousand yards. At some points the stakes are fully a mile and a half from the travelling road. We learn from Mr. Judah that he intends to locate two lines from here to the Ten Mile House, and probably all the way to Negfo Bar. The grade, for the first ten miles, is ten feet to the mile, and from thence to the point where it is proposed to cross the River, at Negro Bar, the ground is found to tise so as to give a uniform grade of fifteen feet to the mile. The first division of sections will be ready to Jet in a few days ; or as soon as the Directors choose to advertise fer proposals. The line Mr. Judah is now locating will strike the river about halfa mile above . Negro Bar ; or, rather, that distance from the store of fhe Messrs Meredith. It touches the river ata point which nature has, seemingly, designed for a bridge. The river 13 narrow, as it canons for several miles above, and each bank is formed of massive beds of granite—forming natural abutments, which nothing short of an earthquake can move. So much is the river releft temple, and rupturing the Lateral Sinus o¢. duced in width, that two arches will reach the brain. The patient never spoke after the accident, or was sensible. He lived about six hours after the blow. Every effort and kindness was rendered. him by his relative George Downey and his fellow-miners that were possible, assisted by the skill of Doctors Wyatt and Skinner as soon after the accident as possible.

Oe RN SON MRA = Np ny ee atiemeeetinee ee ee Bar While we do not agree with all the inferences deducible from the following article, from the Butte Record, we most heartily concur in the opinion it were time we should begin to look elsewhere than to that sink of political pollution, San Francisco, for our representatives and Senators in Congresss : It isa fact well known, that San Francisco and Sacramento at present monopolize the entire delegation from this State in our national councils—Sacramento having one representative and San Francisco one representative and both United States Senators. Our national representatives have been similarly monopolized ever since our organization as a State, with the single exception of Messrs. Marshal and McKorkle—two representatives—which the political tricksters who have made our State the scene of their operations graciously permitted to be chosen froth other portions of the State, Against this unanswerable assumption ef political menageries, our conventions have firmly and un~ yieldingly protested. Our delegates to the State Convention are not to ask as a favor, but to demand as a right, that one Representative to Congress be chosen from the northern portion of the State, and that, too,. without any dictation as to who. the candidates shall be from the corrupt horde, the self styled “Majority!” who conducted the thieving and disgraceful proceedings of the late session of the Legislature. Our Senators and Representatives in the State Legislature. Our Senators and Representstives in the State Legislature are instructed to use their utmost endeavors to secure the next United States Senator to the north. San Francisco has had every Senator that has yet been sent to Congress from California, and has made her arrangements to fill those offices for the next eight years. To carry out her schemes and appropriate these offices to her favorites she is ready to use any and every means, however unprincipled they may be. In doing so her object is to render the balance of the State wholly and. entirely tributary to her own interests. They would neglect the rich and extensive mining regions and agricultural districts of the north, and use their influence to locate the great national highway over the deserts of Mexico, under the plea of erecting a commercial barrier to} protect a neighboring Republic from the predatory incursions of hostile Indians, but in reality that the boundless resources of the north may be made subservient to her overgrown corruption. The practicability of northern routes are not to be entertained for a moment, and the politician from the north who has the hardineod to demand and defend her rights is denounced as a “bolter” from the true democretic faith, and measures adopted to compass his ruin. e hope other northern counties will coincide with the views of our convention, and uniting as one voice, send forth a sentiment to the State Convention and te the next Legislature that schemes of corruption can no longer be disregarded. The north has the talent to represent her, self without constantly submitting to the presumption of the fog enveloped political rascals of the Bay. In confiding to the just rights of the north, San Francisco 24rm or June.—By reference to an advertisement in another column, it willbe; Wm. H.

The County Convention of Butte county assembled at Bidwell on Saturday the 17th, and nominated A. H. Barber and C. G. Lincoln as candidates for the Assembly. a Great Race.—From the San Francisco Oommereial Advertiser we learn that the owner of the famous racer “Rhode Island” has consented to make a match between him and the well-known horse “New York” for three mile heats, which will be the first three mile race “Rhode Island” ever made. The match is to come offon Sunday next. Wuic Convention.——By reference to another. column, it will be seen that the whig county convention has been set for the 20th of July, at which time delegates to the state convention to assemble at Sacramento on the 25th will be chosen, and candidates for the legislature, and The Fourth at the Race Course.—Mr. of the best kind. Everything that can add to the luxury or enjoyment of the occasien, will be provided: Mr. Benton spares no expense in procuring meats, vegetables and wines of the costliest kinds and cooks well known for their ability to do justice to their undertaking, which added to his acknowledged taste in the selection of proper material, cannot help buf make this one of the most sumptuous feasts that has ever been gotten up in the country. 3 The Foot Race.—A foot race eame off ever the Union Race Course on Saturday last, between Sam Holding of Grass Valley, a celebrated English runner, and — Markum, of Nevada ; dis. 500 yards, for $200 aside. Betting went on lively on the turrf, two to one being offered on Holding, and a good deal of cash was about to change hands. The race was beautifully contested, the combatants coming out even. From the start Markum run ahead, and county officers selected. Though for some of. kept his advantage until he had completed our county offices there are several aspirants, we believe that the most perfect good fecling exists, and we have not the least doubt that a united and well-directed effort will be made this fall to redeem this county from the bonds of loco-focoism with which we have been encumbered for the last two years. More particularly have the doings of the past winter left a lasting impression on the minds of the people of California. ImprovemENts.--McAllister & Shaffer are new putting up a very good framed building at the lower end of Main and Broad streets, extending from one street to the other. It will be ready for occupation in a few days, and will add considerably to the appearance of that part of the street. Grush has also been enlarging and materially improving the Pacific Restaurant, which we should have called attention to last week.—Grush keeps an excellent house, and our friends wishing to stop in that part of the town cannot do better than call on him. See adv. garSkillman & Bro. are about commencing running from Main to Broad sts. This firm most favorable consideration from those dealing in their line. They are straight-forward men, whose style of dealing is to live and let live—such men as we love to see prosper. We regret, however, that they contemplate building a brick only one story high. The building of Landeker & Haas on Com. mercial street, is steadily progressing, and when completed will be a good building. yea_Our District Court was to have comwould lose nothing, for, while claiming to! menced its session last Monday ; but was have our rights respected we wage no war, upon those of other portions of the State. San Francisco has showed conclusivel j the first 450 yards, being some ten yards ahead from which time he failed, and in the last fifty yards Holding caught up, making an even race. ae say-The arena being built by Messrs. Hughes & Co. at the Union Race Course is one of the most magnificent affairs of the kind in the United States. It is 275 feet in circumference inside the ring, around which are 5 tiers of seats, made of inch and a half boards, thoroughly braced in every direction, and capable of seat. ing 2000 persons.

This gentleman is too well known by all lovers of the drama to require any notice from us to induce a large attendance on the occasion of his first appearance in Nevada. The house will undoubtedly be filled, not only to witness this gentleman’s acting but the whole company, which in comedy is unequalled in California. The lady portion wecommend to the gallantry of our young men, for they are not only attraetive as actresses, but beantiful as women.

Said Blaze was known to have a large sum of money (heavy lamps) in his possession, and as he has not since been seen or heard of, it is feared by his friends that he has met with foul play. Any information addressed to Budge, at the Empire Hotel, Auburn, will be thankfully received by his inconsolable friends.” Ra1Lroaps,—The New York Tribune shows from the following notice, that the connection of the great Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is nearly completed with the railway system of the wonderful West.— The Central Railroad of Ohio is now within fifty miles of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. This has bé@n occasioned by the recent extension of the road to Zanesville from Cambridge, eighty-five miles.— The Baltimore and Obio Railroad will in the course of this year be in full communication with the railway system of the West. The Tribune gives the length of fifteen Western Railroads at 1,713 miles; total cost $41,811,501; average cost per mile $23,500. The receipts of twelve of them, which have been in full operation a year; are given at €7,089,173—expenses $3,~ 430,898—profits $3,599,275; giving a net profit on the stock at 9 1-2 per cent. It also states that the receipts on all of them are steadily on the increase. The West is being covered with railroads, and they ate developing her resources as if by magic.

Notices.---Our patrons are informed that all legal notices have as much legal effect when published in our columns, as when in thore of a Democratic paper. All summons. administrators’ notices, &c. &c., may be published in the Jovrat in spite of the intrtgues of the County Judge. We trust our friends will not be again as they have been, misled and imposed upon, to give up their right of publishing where they please that which they have to pay for, by the manoeuvres of Judge Caswell for another paper for political advantage to himeelf. BUDD & SKELTON. The Coming Election. We are not of those who regard?partizan strife as a necessary element for man; neither do we look upon those who differ with us on points of national policy, as heretics or political reprobates. But several years of observation have proved to us that when parties are once established largely in power, they become lamentably corrupt. Not because political success makes an honest man corrupt; but for other reasons, easily understood. It is well known that a large number of men act not from a conviction of what is right—but from motives of self interest. Such men cannot be called Whigs or Democrats. Because their adherence to either party is secured only by the hope of political reward at some short period hence. Again, surrounding circumstances have a tendency to influence the actions of men, and when parties are near equally divided, and the party successes are varied, even dishonest men are constrained to hold their baser passions in check, lest the retribution they deserve be visited upon them. But let the party once be established in power, soas to give them confidence in their strength, and the hydra-headed monster, selfishness and corruption, makes his appearance. But let this corruption be winked at by the people for a year or two, and all the corrupt and base time-serving political bucksters and demagogues in the country and of al] factions centre around the nucleus thus formed, and grow clamorous to be rewarded for their services done the party, and by a system of tactics well understood by professional politicians, they continue to retain all political preferments among themselves, in spite of the many iniquities practised—until the people, with. a united effort rise and throw off the grievous burthen thus imposed upon them. Legal Notices—Judge Caswell. The Democrat, laudably zealous where its own nest is being feathered, attempts to. upheld Judge Caswell in the mean practi-. ces we charged on him last week, and to; secure a continuance of his favors. It, says : “The Nevada Journal, after enjoying for. ~ nearly a year the benefits of the ‘stamp act’ complains bitterly if the County Judge directs that a legal notice shall be published in the Democrat.” The only answer needed to the above is a reference to the course of the Journal regarding the stamp act. April 15th, 1853, the Journal held the following language, the act then being before the Senate, haying passed the House :— “The last instance of excessive recklessness and unfairness of the Assembly that we have seen, was a bill passed on the 7th, entitled “a bill to provide for the better publication of official and legal notices.” “The whole scheme is the emanation of paltry scheming unworthy of a deliberative body, and degmding to those who must be¢ »ntrolled by it. Are not merchants and administrators able to elect their own mediums for advertising?” “The whole matter carries absurdity in the face of it, and resembles the freak of an eastern Pasha, rather thaw inlelligent, representative legislation. It is not possible this bill can pass the Senate. It is too bald. It is the most indefensible measure ever entertained even iu the California Legislature, and even the Transcript while eyeing wistfully the spoils, commends it with shamed face.” It was the party the Democrat upholds which passed the stamp act. The Journal was the only paper in Nevada county, and the act was forced on it. We had no responsibility, and spit in the man’s face who charges us witu it. We never fawned at the feet of legislators or county judges, and flattered their vanities to get admission te public plunder. We did not as did the Democrat supplicate the Legislature to reenact in our favor. And we will not praise and defend a public officer in print, and use him for our own purposes, and then sneer if whispers at him behind his back! The Democrat touches but half the question. We alluded not only to summonses, the publication of which are ordered by a Court, but to probaie notices of various kinds, declarations of intention to do business, §c., over which any assumption of authority by Judge Caswell is a fraud on rights of others. His interference ia these has often been complainingly neticed to us. Fame has it that the editor of the Dem‘ocrat, T. H. Rolfe, is himself a candidate for the office of Judge Caswell. If so, the A more glaring demonstration of the . present “County Judge” can not certainly truth of this picture than exists in this state at the present time, and has for the past two years, is seldom presented to our view. The democratic party has been predominent. With united efforts the people have centittued to elect the men put forward by their leaders, and in turn the successful ones have uniformly united and worked together to accomplish their various objects of continued success and personal aggtandisement, wholly losing sight of the work for which they were elected. This system of corruption has been unmitigated, and even unconcealed in all departments ef our government—Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Of late, however, they have, we think, grown too large, and overreached themselves. They have got too numerous. The spoils, bountifully as they have been dealt out, are insufficient to satisfy their cravings ; and the people’s rights seem to have been forgotten in the general scramble after the plunder. From indications which seem to be unmistakable, we believe that next September will waken them up toa sense of the duties they have left unperformed—and the wrongs they have committed during the time of their unlimited and unrestrained power. Political changes must take place, and the time for this to happen has now fully come in California. Where honest, able men are denied by the ruling conventions—those political hot-beds from which spring so many unscrupulous demagogues, the voters are determined no longer to be governed by their dictations. Let the Whigs but be true to themselves—let them but set before the péople pees rie as candidates—men of sufficient mind to comprehend the wants of the people of California—men who have at stake something more than their hope of plunder—who have at heart the good of California—and we have every reason to believe they will be fairly and even largely represented in our legislature and other offices after Sep“ember next. a, i Bae The Methodist and Presbyterian Sabbath Schools will turn out in procession on the 4th of Jnly. We rejoice to see these institutions indicate as much prosperity as they do. In the procession, each school is to be headed by a most magnificent banner ; and marching to some grove, probably on Turner's Ranch, Woods’ Ravine, will be served with a most clegant and sumptuous repast, and listen to some appropriate addresses, — Fatau Accipenr._.W illiam Downey, formerly of Warren Co.

We advise the editor to have recourse however to his “grammer book” a little more extensively before “making a splurges in his pwn elegant language he promises to do if nominated. Considering the shght materials of which County Judges have been made in this county, we see nothing in particular to discourage him. The present incumbent is an encouraging ex» ample of small beginnings. The cornucopia has not much enlarged, we must admit, to~ wards the other end. Sacramento Valley Railroad. We take the following extract from the Union of the 20th. The editor seems to speak from personal observation ; and from it, too, we would judge, the letting will take place in a short time ;— Mr. Judah has drawn maps and profiles of the road, which ata glaace show the face of the country, the course of the river, the line of the wagon road, and the two lines which have been run and marked for the railroad. One of these is the experimental line, which was run before the face of the country had been examined ; tne other he is new running and locating, as the probable line of the road. This line on Saturday, had been located to Alder Creek, which is some eighteen miles from the city. It is run from the city limits back of all the farms on Brighton flat, and strikes about half a mile north of the Sutter race course ; thence to near the ten mile house. where a slight curve was found necessary. From this point the line is perfectly straight to Mr. Buckley’s Monte Cristo house, and the cutting and filling at no point exceeds three feet. By running outside the former ‘to the ten mile house, the distance is in« creased some six hundred yards, but from that point to the Monte Cristo House, the direct fine shortens the distance, as compared with the road, a thousand yards. At some points the stakes are fully a mile and a half from the travelling road. We learn from Mr. Judah that he intends to locate two lines from here to the Ten Mile House, and probably all the way to Negfo Bar. The grade, for the first ten miles, is ten feet to the mile, and from thence to the point where it is proposed to cross the River, at Negro Bar, the ground is found to tise so as to give a uniform grade of fifteen feet to the mile. The first division of sections will be ready to Jet in a few days ; or as soon as the Directors choose to advertise fer proposals. The line Mr. Judah is now locating will strike the river about halfa mile above . Negro Bar ; or, rather, that distance from the store of fhe Messrs Meredith. It touches the river ata point which nature has, seemingly, designed for a bridge. The river 13 narrow, as it canons for several miles above, and each bank is formed of massive beds of granite—forming natural abutments, which nothing short of an earthquake can move. So much is the river releft temple, and rupturing the Lateral Sinus o¢. duced in width, that two arches will reach the brain. The patient never spoke after the accident, or was sensible. He lived about six hours after the blow. Every effort and kindness was rendered. him by his relative George Downey and his fellow-miners that were possible, assisted by the skill of Doctors Wyatt and Skinner as soon after the accident as possible.

Oe RN SON MRA = Np ny ee atiemeeetinee ee ee Bar While we do not agree with all the inferences deducible from the following article, from the Butte Record, we most heartily concur in the opinion it were time we should begin to look elsewhere than to that sink of political pollution, San Francisco, for our representatives and Senators in Congresss : It isa fact well known, that San Francisco and Sacramento at present monopolize the entire delegation from this State in our national councils—Sacramento having one representative and San Francisco one representative and both United States Senators. Our national representatives have been similarly monopolized ever since our organization as a State, with the single exception of Messrs. Marshal and McKorkle—two representatives—which the political tricksters who have made our State the scene of their operations graciously permitted to be chosen froth other portions of the State, Against this unanswerable assumption ef political menageries, our conventions have firmly and un~ yieldingly protested. Our delegates to the State Convention are not to ask as a favor, but to demand as a right, that one Representative to Congress be chosen from the northern portion of the State, and that, too,. without any dictation as to who. the candidates shall be from the corrupt horde, the self styled “Majority!” who conducted the thieving and disgraceful proceedings of the late session of the Legislature. Our Senators and Representatives in the State Legislature. Our Senators and Representstives in the State Legislature are instructed to use their utmost endeavors to secure the next United States Senator to the north. San Francisco has had every Senator that has yet been sent to Congress from California, and has made her arrangements to fill those offices for the next eight years. To carry out her schemes and appropriate these offices to her favorites she is ready to use any and every means, however unprincipled they may be. In doing so her object is to render the balance of the State wholly and. entirely tributary to her own interests. They would neglect the rich and extensive mining regions and agricultural districts of the north, and use their influence to locate the great national highway over the deserts of Mexico, under the plea of erecting a commercial barrier to} protect a neighboring Republic from the predatory incursions of hostile Indians, but in reality that the boundless resources of the north may be made subservient to her overgrown corruption. The practicability of northern routes are not to be entertained for a moment, and the politician from the north who has the hardineod to demand and defend her rights is denounced as a “bolter” from the true democretic faith, and measures adopted to compass his ruin. e hope other northern counties will coincide with the views of our convention, and uniting as one voice, send forth a sentiment to the State Convention and te the next Legislature that schemes of corruption can no longer be disregarded. The north has the talent to represent her, self without constantly submitting to the presumption of the fog enveloped political rascals of the Bay. In confiding to the just rights of the north, San Francisco 24rm or June.—By reference to an advertisement in another column, it willbe; Wm. H.

Wuic Convention.——By reference to another. column, it will be seen that the whig county convention has been set for the 20th of July, at which time delegates to the state convention to assemble at Sacramento on the 25th will be chosen, and candidates for the legislature, and The Fourth at the Race Course.—Mr. of the best kind. Everything that can add to the luxury or enjoyment of the occasien, will be provided: Mr. Benton spares no expense in procuring meats, vegetables and wines of the costliest kinds and cooks well known for their ability to do justice to their undertaking, which added to his acknowledged taste in the selection of proper material, cannot help buf make this one of the most sumptuous feasts that has ever been gotten up in the country. 3 The Foot Race.—A foot race eame off ever the Union Race Course on Saturday last, between Sam Holding of Grass Valley, a celebrated English runner, and — Markum, of Nevada ; dis. 500 yards, for $200 aside. Betting went on lively on the turrf, two to one being offered on Holding, and a good deal of cash was about to change hands. The race was beautifully contested, the combatants coming out even. From the start Markum run ahead, and county officers selected. Though for some of. kept his advantage until he had completed our county offices there are several aspirants, we believe that the most perfect good fecling exists, and we have not the least doubt that a united and well-directed effort will be made this fall to redeem this county from the bonds of loco-focoism with which we have been encumbered for the last two years. More particularly have the doings of the past winter left a lasting impression on the minds of the people of California. ImprovemENts.--McAllister & Shaffer are new putting up a very good framed building at the lower end of Main and Broad streets, extending from one street to the other.

The Tribune gives the length of fifteen Western Railroads at 1,713 miles; total cost $41,811,501; average cost per mile $23,500. The receipts of twelve of them, which have been in full operation a year; are given at €7,089,173—expenses $3,~ 430,898—profits $3,599,275; giving a net profit on the stock at 9 1-2 per cent. It also states that the receipts on all of them are steadily on the increase. The West is being covered with railroads, and they ate developing her resources as if by magic.
