Convicted on Every Count. A large body of the people are content to say, whenever they see a political party arraigned by the press—“it is the busihess of editors to abuse opponents whether a cause exists or not.” There is a good reason why these should be suspicious of charges. The truth is plain; parties are oftentimes unjustly arraigned. Names THE NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 30, 1860. —_—_————___—— EE State Hovse ro ae eviLt.—Indications begin to multiply that the law makers of the State are about te have a “local habitation” if not a name.

They are in for going down “—nine times the space which measures night from day, Where gravitation shifting, turns the other way” but get to the bottom, unless Sacramento be found to “ rest upon the baseless fabric of a vision,” when, of course, the appropriation will “go in” and another be required. Seriously, if the report of the condition of the Capital be correct, as given by the Standrdé—water, water all around and nota drop fit to drink, green scum, and thy smells, eroaking of frogs, mildews, &c.—if the city is as low down as that, we may see by and by what Ike Marvel says of Holland, “the waters leap--frog o’er the stceples play, ” and bodies of our legislators taken for fish bait. Nothing is lost, however, we are told, but some body gains. _ It is conjectured the Sacramentans believe implicitly in the foregoing saying.

Destroy with her climate all the unwebed footed Solons from the mountains, and why may not a Moses be found among the bullrushes to estabdamp, ear. phize upon smut for the remainder of his days. It is of no avail to present to the minds of cowards the truth that the Republican party is on precisely the platform of Washington, Jefferson and Clay, so far as regards the slavery question. A bugbear deprives them of judgment to decide . according to rational evidence. The other fact, that the Democratic party has proven false to its pledge, so often proclaimed and proven by the they must break away from fellowship with eorruption.

It is notoriously true that poor . Pierce solemnly pledged himself to stand by the . Compromises of 1850. It is more notorious that . . he bas¢ly violated his promises on coming to the i .

From one end of the State to the other, our exchanges tell us, hundreds are preparing to go in quest of argentiferous deposites. Hundreds are already on the road, or searching in the supposed silver districts. Washoe is the princi. pal point on which the hopes of the itinerant Ttaultitude are fixed. But scores are making . tracks in almost every direction impressed with the belicf that mountains of silver lie undiseoyered here, there and every where.

The following anecdote of Mr. Corwin, has never been in print, and is, whether true or net; a little f60 good to be lost. The Hon. Thos. Corwin, (whose complexion, as is well known, is none of the fairest,) being in New York, was introduced to an English gentleman ef some clebrity, who bad lately crossed the big, salt pond to see the American elephant on his native sod. Mr. Corwin was introduced as being an Ohioan; this term evidently misled John Bull, who looked fora moment a good-deal puzzled ; however his face suddenly brightened, and seizing the hand of Mr. Corwin, he expressed his happiness at making his acquaintance; then kindly inquired whether “ his tribe wete the af peace with the whites?” An explanation and some merriment speedily followed.

New varieties of the fishy tribe might reward his visit to California. Curious specimens of sharks, bull-heads, gudgeons, sheeps-heads, exist in this region, and the distinguished naturalist could no doubt find much on these shores to gratify his favorite taste and yet not disagree largely with Pope in the assertion, “the proper study of mankind is man.” But we apprehend the brightest ornament of Cambridge, the pride at once of the “ beantiful Pays du Vaud” which gave the illustrious Agassiz birth, and of America that has adopted him as a worthy son, cannot be spared from a place where mutual honors are richly shed. Tre Ustos Movewent.—A flying rumor has been circulated that an attempt to organize a third party in this State is about to be made. If true, who is at the bottom of the movement is still left for conjecture. Gov. Foote has returned to his mutton in Tennessee. Balie Peyton has lodged.in the same State. Crabb and Wood sleep the sleep that knows no waking at Cavorca.— Our florid friend, Major Bowie, still lives in the flesh but is mute. Whereis the Peter the Hermit to come from except out of the locofoco party, who is to preach for the rescue of the government from the hands of the unfaithful? The Union party in this State is without a leader. The material is wanting out of which to make one, The Custom House in a desperate case might import Foote or 0’Conner; perhaps Peyton might be induced to return once more to our embraces, but without some such material for leadership the first show of life in the Union eause will be faint indeed. We doubt if the first gasp is ever witnessed. The old line Whigs are dispersed since the death of their shepherds. Opponents of the Administration of Democratic antecedents are anxiously lingering about the pasture of the party looking for some low Place or hole in the fence by which to make an easy return. There is not asolitary individual in the State whe can safely take the initiative in the Union saving battle. We are therefore justified in pronouncing it in this State, dead, dead, dead; and may God have mercy on ite seul— if it have a soul. Wuier rs rr?—Fairchitt, 2 member of the Legislature from Hangtown, and supposed to be the oldest Democrat alive, inflicted » speech upon the members last Friday, a mile, mile and a half, _or two miles in length, in which his personal history from the cradle to the Legislature, was given.

The character of James . Buchanan was set forth by his opposers in strong . and true light. He was the proven slanderer of . the great Commoner of Kentucky.

Where are the pledges made by him on assuming . the reins of government? Not one has been kept. The Democracy promised an honest and economical administration. Nothing has exceeded it in peeulation and extravagance in the annals of the nation. Millions in the treasury . have been squandered and the country plunged . headlong in debt. What for? We have had no . wars, or a reasonable attempt at one—nothing to create a publie debt. The assurance that the . people should be protected in their right to make . . their own institutions in Terrifor has been . most villainously disregarded, and a high handed . attempt to coerce the people into an acknowl. edgementt of institutions which were abhorrent, i hasbeen made. Foreign born citizens have been . handed over to the tender m¢ of European . despots and suffered to do service to a foreign } government after having sworn allegiance to ours, with the understanding of receiving protection.

We want it for spoons, plate and for change. The nation wants it for the Asiatic trade which we are bound to control as soon as Silver will In the imagination of half the people our mountains are full of silver, and perhaps it may be so. As is believed by many, there may be eontinnous veins of silver from the rich mines of La Plata through Mexico to Oregon, or even as far as the mountain chain flanking the eastern shore of the Pacifie extends. Who knows? For the first time, silver ore has been impressed upon the retinas of the eyes of most of us. We have . never known till now by actual sight in what . shape, coler or combinations silver is found in a state of nature.

We admire the independence and boldness of . Mr. Curtis in the face of the popular sentiment . of his county. We are inclined to respect Mr. } Curtis as no milk-and-water sort of aman. He . dare have an opinion of his own and express it regardiess of personal conseyences. If he really believes San Francisco is a better point for the Cay than Sacramento, and we do not doubt his sincerity, he is right in the step he has taken. We honer and will defend him for it, though, perhaps, not agreeiag with his eonelusions. It may not be for the interests of the constituents of Mr. Curtis to remove the Capital from Sacramentc. We think it isnot. It is the duty of Mr. Curtis to guard well the interests of his county, but only when not in contravention of the publie good. He is a representative of Nevada county, it is true, but his duties to the county are secondary and subordinate to these of the State. He goes from this . section to make known the wants and desires of the section, but he has a higher duty to perform than that of struggling to gratify the selfish . desires alone of the immediate neighborhood . from whenee he comes. If a representative is to have no thought but to gain for his immediate constituents all he can without reference to the rights of others, legislative halls hecome arenas . for the strong to devour the weak, or theatres . for disgraceful . and corruption. . We hold it is no evidence of a want of good . faith, or trustworthiness, no evidence of turpitude, that Mr. Curtis has seen fit to represent . the State instead of his constituents.

Convicted on Every Count. A large body of the people are content to say, whenever they see a political party arraigned by the press—“it is the busihess of editors to abuse opponents whether a cause exists or not.” There is a good reason why these should be suspicious of charges. The truth is plain; parties are oftentimes unjustly arraigned. Names THE NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 30, 1860. —_—_————___—— EE State Hovse ro ae eviLt.—Indications begin to multiply that the law makers of the State are about te have a “local habitation” if not a name. The two houses of the Legislature have : : . go farther to give popularity or the reverse to a been sce-sawing on the subject.

They insist that they be laid broad . and deep. They are in for going down “—nine times the space which measures night from day, Where gravitation shifting, turns the other way” but get to the bottom, unless Sacramento be found to “ rest upon the baseless fabric of a vision,” when, of course, the appropriation will “go in” and another be required. Seriously, if the report of the condition of the Capital be correct, as given by the Standrdé—water, water all around and nota drop fit to drink, green scum, and thy smells, eroaking of frogs, mildews, &c.—if the city is as low down as that, we may see by and by what Ike Marvel says of Holland, “the waters leap--frog o’er the stceples play, ” and bodies of our legislators taken for fish bait. Nothing is lost, however, we are told, but some body gains. _ It is conjectured the Sacramentans believe implicitly in the foregoing saying. As they have thus far furnished all the Governors ef the State, why are they not equally eapable vf producing the brain to make all the laws ? Destroy with her climate all the unwebed footed Solons from the mountains, and why may not a Moses be found among the bullrushes to estabdamp, ear. phize upon smut for the remainder of his days. It is of no avail to present to the minds of cowards the truth that the Republican party is on precisely the platform of Washington, Jefferson and Clay, so far as regards the slavery question. A bugbear deprives them of judgment to decide . according to rational evidence. The other fact, that the Democratic party has proven false to its pledge, so often proclaimed and proven by the they must break away from fellowship with eorruption.

For the consideration of these we affirm the . . proposition to be true, that the two last Demo. . eratie Administrations have proven false to the . . principles fhey were placed in power to carry out, }and stand eonvicted of obtaining power under . false pretenses. It is notoriously true that poor . Pierce solemnly pledged himself to stand by the . Compromises of 1850. It is more notorious that . . he bas¢ly violated his promises on coming to the i .

The following anecdote of Mr. Corwin, has never been in print, and is, whether true or net; a little f60 good to be lost. The Hon. Thos. Corwin, (whose complexion, as is well known, is none of the fairest,) being in New York, was introduced to an English gentleman ef some clebrity, who bad lately crossed the big, salt pond to see the American elephant on his native sod. Mr. Corwin was introduced as being an Ohioan; this term evidently misled John Bull, who looked fora moment a good-deal puzzled ; however his face suddenly brightened, and seizing the hand of Mr. Corwin, he expressed his happiness at making his acquaintance; then kindly inquired whether “ his tribe wete the af peace with the whites?” An explanation and some merriment speedily followed.

D. Whitney, and in case of his death, Professor Agassiz is to finish the survey! There’s a wise stroke for you. assiz is a sort of vice under Whitney. Why, if the great sayan can be second best, and take the place of Whitney, we suggest that the latter be considered dead already. The passage of a surplemental act so declaring might secure to us . the services of the most accomplished man of science, since the death of Humboldt, in the . But the fact is, the great ichthyologist He'll not come to Califorworld. has other fish to fry. nia for $6,000 a year if Professor Whitney, or even Trask, should be persuaded by the unexorable scythe-swinger to decline that salary.— Louis Agassiz is a great lover of natural history, but we do not believe this kangaroo amendment of the Assembly even, will be suffi. ciently attractive to secure his attention, great . as his enriosity beside may be to take a look at the zoologieal collection from all parts of the State annually exhibited at the Capital. New varieties of the fishy tribe might reward his visit to California. Curious specimens of sharks, bull-heads, gudgeons, sheeps-heads, exist in this region, and the distinguished naturalist could no doubt find much on these shores to gratify his favorite taste and yet not disagree largely with Pope in the assertion, “the proper study of mankind is man.” But we apprehend the brightest ornament of Cambridge, the pride at once of the “ beantiful Pays du Vaud” which gave the illustrious Agassiz birth, and of America that has adopted him as a worthy son, cannot be spared from a place where mutual honors are richly shed. Tre Ustos Movewent.—A flying rumor has been circulated that an attempt to organize a third party in this State is about to be made. If true, who is at the bottom of the movement is still left for conjecture. Gov. Foote has returned to his mutton in Tennessee. Balie Peyton has lodged.in the same State. Crabb and Wood sleep the sleep that knows no waking at Cavorca.— Our florid friend, Major Bowie, still lives in the flesh but is mute. Whereis the Peter the Hermit to come from except out of the locofoco party, who is to preach for the rescue of the government from the hands of the unfaithful? The Union party in this State is without a leader. The material is wanting out of which to make one, The Custom House in a desperate case might import Foote or 0’Conner; perhaps Peyton might be induced to return once more to our embraces, but without some such material for leadership the first show of life in the Union eause will be faint indeed. We doubt if the first gasp is ever witnessed. The old line Whigs are dispersed since the death of their shepherds. Opponents of the Administration of Democratic antecedents are anxiously lingering about the pasture of the party looking for some low Place or hole in the fence by which to make an easy return. There is not asolitary individual in the State whe can safely take the initiative in the Union saving battle. We are therefore justified in pronouncing it in this State, dead, dead, dead; and may God have mercy on ite seul— if it have a soul. Wuier rs rr?—Fairchitt, 2 member of the Legislature from Hangtown, and supposed to be the oldest Democrat alive, inflicted » speech upon the members last Friday, a mile, mile and a half, _or two miles in length, in which his personal history from the cradle to the Legislature, was given.

Where are the pledges made by him on assuming . the reins of government? Not one has been kept. The Democracy promised an honest and economical administration. Nothing has exceeded it in peeulation and extravagance in the annals of the nation. Millions in the treasury . have been squandered and the country plunged . headlong in debt. What for? We have had no . wars, or a reasonable attempt at one—nothing to create a publie debt. The assurance that the . people should be protected in their right to make . . their own institutions in Terrifor has been . most villainously disregarded, and a high handed . attempt to coerce the people into an acknowl. edgementt of institutions which were abhorrent, i hasbeen made.

We want it for spoons, plate and for change. The nation wants it for the Asiatic trade which we are bound to control as soon as Silver will In the imagination of half the people our mountains are full of silver, and perhaps it may be so. As is believed by many, there may be eontinnous veins of silver from the rich mines of La Plata through Mexico to Oregon, or even as far as the mountain chain flanking the eastern shore of the Pacifie extends. Who knows? For the first time, silver ore has been impressed upon the retinas of the eyes of most of us. We have . never known till now by actual sight in what . shape, coler or combinations silver is found in a state of nature. Ninety-nine miners out of a . search of gold and given up a fortune for want . of a knowledge of argentiferous rocks, But our . eyes have been opened at last upon the real subsianece. Specimens of silver in its various forms are distributed over the country, and kept in Banking Houses, Assay Offices, Saloons, Stores, ete. Hundreds of miners are traversing the country with small pieces of the ore in their pockets, by which all suspicious looking rock is compared and judged.

We admire the independence and boldness of . Mr. Curtis in the face of the popular sentiment . of his county. We are inclined to respect Mr. } Curtis as no milk-and-water sort of aman. He . dare have an opinion of his own and express it regardiess of personal conseyences. If he really believes San Francisco is a better point for the Cay than Sacramento, and we do not doubt his sincerity, he is right in the step he has taken. We honer and will defend him for it, though, perhaps, not agreeiag with his eonelusions. It may not be for the interests of the constituents of Mr. Curtis to remove the Capital from Sacramentc. We think it isnot. It is the duty of Mr. Curtis to guard well the interests of his county, but only when not in contravention of the publie good. He is a representative of Nevada county, it is true, but his duties to the county are secondary and subordinate to these of the State. He goes from this . section to make known the wants and desires of the section, but he has a higher duty to perform than that of struggling to gratify the selfish . desires alone of the immediate neighborhood . from whenee he comes. If a representative is to have no thought but to gain for his immediate constituents all he can without reference to the rights of others, legislative halls hecome arenas . for the strong to devour the weak, or theatres . for disgraceful . and corruption. . We hold it is no evidence of a want of good . faith, or trustworthiness, no evidence of turpitude, that Mr. Curtis has seen fit to represent . the State instead of his constituents.
