To Enterprising Editors, We understand that some talk is Thad of starting a new paper in this region. If the ambitious proprietors ‘have four or five thousand dollars to spend, they can keep a paper going a year, but not longer. We can make a much better proposition. One paper can get a living here, with all the business the county affords, but half of the business, ot any pert of it, is nat worth accepting. Therefore, when . any individual deems his destiny is. laid in the line of a newspaper press and that it dictates Nevada county as his sphere of operation, we will give him a show better than he can have by bringing another press here. We have no disposition to work for nothing, and find ourself, as must be the case for both presses, if an additional one is started here. So, ye adventur ous spirits, when you want a clear . democratic state. ment, commencing en the first day of . session of the first legislature, when the members elect of the democratic party finding themselves in a majority, drew the party lines, and claimed this as a_. It is too late now to talk of ‘pure democracy,’ when the par. ty has continually waded in impurity. It is too late to shift responsibility,when a long series of damning crime is but capped with o fraud of extraordinary magnitude. Morrariry.—The total number of . interments at San Francisco for the week ending October 1 6th, were forty. Of these but two were from cholera. Of Panama fever there were eight deaths, and of dysentery eight. The mortality is at the rate of about one to every seven hundred in the population weekly, which is rather heavy. occupied the floor. He discovered this as soon as any one, but it was not his way to talk long toan inattentive audience. He paused a moment, long enough to attract the attention of the Senators, while he very deliberately drew his snuff-box frem_ his pocket, opened it, teok from it daintily a pinch, and replaced it in his pocket.— He then proceeded, very slowly, as follows : Clay—snuffing-—‘I was happy to perceive, Mr. President-—snuff—that in the remarks which have fullen from the chair--snuff—nothing has been said against the constitutionality of the tariff” laying great emphasis on the word eonstitutionality, and taking a long snuff at the close. Calhoun—speaking with customary vehemence--‘If the gentleman from Kentucky refers to any thing that has fallen from the chair, the chair begs to inform the gentleman from Kentucky, that he thinks the tariff decidedly unconstitutional.’ Clay--Alas! then, sir, 1 am reminded }of what within these walls, I would But we presume that much of this is gladly forget—the mutability ef all hu*hutable vt _. man opinion. It was in 1816, I think, not attributable to the climate or oth. cin utd wan in 1816 he abate Wide’ the er peculiarities of San Francisco, but . most eloquent champion of principles far to the exposures jncident to the va-. abe from those it is now pleased to rious steamer passages, and to diseases ie muchs extol othe. Sine contracted by sea generally, which all . begs to inform the gentleman from Kenfind their result sooner or later at that port. We believe that if the population of San Franciseo was stationary, it would exhibit as clean a bill of health as any city in the world, A proposition is before the city of Sonoma to loan out the surplus funds in the city treasury ! Webb & Co. have established a flouring mill on Jackson street, San Francisco. This is the second mill in that city, producing good flour from California wheat. GS The Methodist chur h in Marysville was destoyed by fire on Sunday, the 17th inst. weG. A wan named Wm. Loftus came to his death in San Francisco on the 17th instant, by excessive drinking, weA. The order uf Sons of Temperance appears to be making very good progress in San Franciscn. There are two Divisions in the city, each with numer ous members. A public demonstiation came off on the 20th. An Uncvarpep Speecn.—Henry Cahaving enjoyed her Majesty's favor for seveial years, lost it in the following manner: As he was walking in the garden of the palace, under the Queen’s window, she asked him ina jocular manner, “What does a man think of when he is thinking of nothing?” “Upon a woman's promise,” replied Carey,— “Well done, cousin,” replied Elizabeth. Sometime after, he solicited the honor of a peerage, and reminded the Queen field, let us know. We will give you a chance not to be slighted. The Democracy Disgusted. The following resolutions were passed at the recent demecratic county conyention of San Francisco. They speak loudly in reprobation of democratic . rule: Whereas, report has it that a gross) fraud has been perpetrated in letting the state’s prison contract, whereby the . toiling classes are to be burdened, taxed cand eheated for the aggrandizement of a favored few, therefore, Resolved, That a committee of one of each delegatian be appointed 'o wait on the nominees of this convention for the Senate and Assembly, and request of them a public pledge of their best efforts, -if dete, to repeal all laws empoworing any execution thus to act regardiess of the general good. i Resolved, That the same committee that she had’ promised it to him.— “True,” said she, “but that was a woman’s promise.” An Irishman, who had just arrived from the Emerald Jsle, hearing a gun fired at the closing of the day, asked what the noise meant. Being told it was the ‘ sun down gun,’ he exclaimed, ‘ Does the sun make such a devil of a noise going down in this country !’ bay A city miss newly installed as the wife of a farmer, was one day called upon by a neighbor of the same profeseion, who, in the absence of her husband, asked her for the loan of his, plough a short time. I am sure you would be accommodated, was the reply, if Mr Stone was only at home—I do not know though where he keeps his plough, but, she added, evidently zealous to serve, there is the cart in the yard—couldn’t you back? is directed to inquire into and ascertain if the charges made are true ; and if 60, man to pay his just debts, when he has rey, cousin to Queen Elizabeth, after . plough with that till Mr. Stone gets . A religion that does not constrain a . . tucky, that the constitutionality ef the . tariff was not discussed in 1816.’ Clay--‘True.’ said Mr. Clay, stretching up to his full height, and raising his . voice till it rang through every arch in . the capitol, at the same time directing his fiery gaze at the Viee President— . ‘True, sir, the constitutionality of the . tariff was not discussed in 1816, for at . that time no statesman could be found . reckless enough to peril his reputation by disputing it.—[N. Y. Evening Post. Court or Errors.—A certain limb of . the law, arguing a ease in one of our . sucker courts, was informed by his Hon‘er that the case had already been de. cided by the Court. . ‘1 know it, replied the attorney, with a peculiar nasal twang, for which he was then somewhat remarkable, ‘but 1 am going to prove to the Court that the . Court is wrong.’ And at it he went, . right and left, when the judge again interrupted him with—‘I have decided i that before.” ‘Have, ha!’ with the usaal . accompaniment, responded the attorney, continuing his argument. By this time, the patience of the judge was nearly exhausted, and he was rather inclined to the ‘rile’ and in a somewhat severe tone he suid, ‘If you wish to per' sist in arguing this case, you must carr ‘it to the Court of Errors.’ ‘Must, ha! if this aint a court of errors, . don’t know what it is. Connecticut in Line? . Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune . Hartford, Conn. Tues. Sept. 14, 1852. . Noticing in your paper a short time since a letter from New-Haven setting forth the state of feeling in and . around that place for old Chippewa, I . would like to say a word in behalf of 'the Whijs of Hartford and the ncr. thern part of the State. . To say we are working hard for the . Old Hero of so many battles, is not! . all; we have the soul-stirring enthusiasm of 1840, A large and strong Scott /and Graham clnb has been formed in ‘this place, aud they are at work with a zeal that will tel? next November. . They hold meetings once a week that . are characterized by that energy and . enthusiasm which always prelude a victory. As a criterion of the feeling existing here, / will give a brief outline of a meeting held in New Britain, a town 9 miles distant, last week, for .the purpose of forming a Scoté and . Graham Club. Zhe Club of this place was invited to attend, and it was thought that probatly 100 or 150 would respond to the invitation, but on reaching the cars we found between four and five hundred of the Whigs of Hartford, with a band of music, glee ‘clubs, &o., all bound for New-Britain. . More cars were attached, and, with hearty cheers for the ticket, we were soon on our way. The Whigs of NewBritain were electrified at the sight of . such a delegation from this place, as that this convention, as a part of the the ability to doit, is worth nothing-— . they were expecting only a small numhigh-toned, pure democracy of the state That he can escape his liabilities . per of our club would attend, and nation, by an emphatic denunciation of the act, throw from off their shoulders the responsibility, and place it where it belongs. No party is able to throw} from its thruogh some defect of human law, will never justify him at the bar of conscience and God, fer defrauding others of their due. The ‘large hall in the favorite Humphrey House was filled to overflowing, and a large number was unable to gain admittance. are just as sure to give the six Electorial Votes of this ‘State to the “ Hero of Lundy’s Lane,” as is the morning sun to rise on the second day of November next. Our opponents strive in vain to smother the enthusiasm for Scott that exists all over the State. They never compare the two candidates, for it is so much like comparing the oak to the thistle that they dare not do it. Zhe Times endeavors to blind its friends (if it has any) by calling such meetings as the whigs had at New Britain “failures. God grant that we may havea few more such * failures . ” J the whigs of all the states do as well as they will in Connecticut, Winfield Scott will be our next president. F. K. W. Election Law. The following is a synopsis of the law relating to elections at the present time in force in California. Ist. The election is to be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, being the 2d day of the month. 2d. Every white male citizen of the United States, and every white male citizen of Mexico, who shall have elected to become a citizen of the United States under the treaty at Queretaro, of the age of 21 years, a resident of the state 6 months next preceding the election, and the county or district in which he claims his vote thirty days, shall be entitled te vote at all elections which are now, or hereafter may be authorized by law. For the purpose of voting, no person shall be deemed to have gained or lost a residence by reason of his presence or absence on the service of the United States, or of the high seas, nor while a student of any seminary of learning, nor while kept at any alms house or ether asylum, nor while confined in any public prison. No idiot or insane person, or person convicted of any infamous crime, shall be entitled to the privileges of an elector. Absence from this State on business of the state, or of the United States, shall not affect the question of residence of any person. A crime shall be deemed infamous which is punishable by death or by imprisonment in the state prison. 3d. The county judge shall designate a place in each township for holding the election, or additional precincts may be created in any township where the convenience of voters requires it, if there are thirty or more resident voters at such place, provided there shall not be more than one precinct in each ward of a city, and provided further that except within a city, no two election precincts shall be nearer than two miles of each other. 4th. If no judges of an election are appointed for a precinct, the electors can, on the morning of the day of election, at the place where the polls were opened at the last previous state election, appoint judges for suid precinct. 5th. The polls are to be open from 8 o'clock in the morning until sunset on the day of election, and if each judge or inspector be not present at . time. the opening of the polls, the electors present may appoint. The board of judges can take a recess for one hour during the day, but it must be before 3 o’clock in the afternoon. 6th. ‘The poll books are to contain the names of the voters, and the number of votes, in another celamn, each name being numbered as it is taken down, 7th. After the counting of the ballots commence the ballet boxes are not to be removed from the room in which the election is held, until the ballots are all counted, and the counting shall be public. The ballots shall be taken out carefully, one by one, by the inspector, or one of the judges. who sha'l open them, and read aloud the name of each person contained herein, and the office for which every cach person 1s voted for. Each clerk shall write down each office to be filled can determine to their satisfaction the person voted for and the office intended. 8th. As soon as all the votes are read off and counted, a certificate shall . be drawn up on each of the papers containing the poll list and tallies, or At tached thereto, stating the number of votes each person voted for received, . and designating the office to fill which, he was voted for, which number shall be written in words at full length. Each certificate shall be signed by the . clerks, the judges, and inspector ; one of said certificates, with the poll list and tally paper to which it is attached shall be retained by the inspeetor, and preserved by him at least six menths. The ballots shall be destroyed by the inspector. The other of said certificates, with the poll list and tally paper to which it is attatched, shall be sealed up by the inspector, and endorsed “Election Returns,” and be directed and delivered, or sent by the inspector toa the county clerk of the county in which the election is held. 9th. All the officers ef election are to be sworn by some person authorized by law to administer oaths, to the effect that each and all of them will faithfully discharge the duties assigned by law. If there is no person present authorized to administer oaths, the inspector shall administer the oath to the judges and clerks, and one of the judges shall administer the oath to the inspector. The inspector has power to administer all necessary oaths in the progress of the election, and after the polls are epened, to fill all vacancies caused by the refusal or absence of either the judges or clerks. Electors for President and Vice President.--The last legislature passed a law in reference to the Presidential Election, from which we take the following : . “ Any qnalified voter of this State may vote for Electors at any precinct in the State. The returns of the Election in eaeh county shall be transmitted by the County Clerk thereof to the Secretary of State, on the tenth day after the day of Election, or as soon as he has’ received the returns of each precinct of his county, if received within ten, days, The county clerk ef each county, whenever in his opinion it may be necessary. shall employ seme person to conver the returns to the seat of Government and deliver them to the Secretary of State; the person performing such service shall . be entitled to receive, as compensation, milage at the rate of thirty cents a mile, computing the distance frem the county seat to the sent of Government. by the usually travelled route; his account therefere certified by the Secretary of State, shall be nudited hy the comtrolfer, and paid out of the General Fund in the State Treasury; on the Monday before the first Wednesday of Dscember, or 89 soon as the returns have been receivd from all the counties of the State; if received before that day, the secretaW of state shall compare and estimate the votes given for Electors, and certify to the Governor the names of the proper number of persona having the highest number of votes, and thereupon the Governor shall immediately transmit to each of such persens a certificate of election, and on or befere the day of their meeting, deliver to the Eleetors lists of names of the Eleetors, and do all other things required of him in the premises by any Act of Congress in force at the EMIGRANTS CAN VOTE. The following opinion of Attorney General Hastings, in reference to this year’s emigration right to vote at. the ensuing election, we take from the Democratic State Journal. It is of the first importance as it confirms the right of a large class to suffrage, and will be obeyed by the Judges and Inspectors at the election. We ask the especial attention ef emigrants to it. Artrorney General's Orrice, San Francisco, Oct. 14, 1852. Gov. Bice, Sir, In reply to the letter of John D. Crosby, requesting my opinion whether the immigrants of this year will be entitled to a vote at the next general election of this State, my gpinicn is that if any such immigrant shall have been a resipgNt of this State six months next preceding the eleetion, and of the district in which he claims support these views, but it is unnecessa ry to cite them here. Yours, respectfully &c., S.c. HASTINGS, Att'y Gen. One hundred and five Germans, here tofore demoerats, have joined the Whi club at Hamilton, Ohio. This is th way the Scott cause is progressing. yeh.

He paused a moment, long enough to attract the attention of the Senators, while he very deliberately drew his snuff-box frem_ his pocket, opened it, teok from it daintily a pinch, and replaced it in his pocket.— He then proceeded, very slowly, as follows : Clay—snuffing-—‘I was happy to perceive, Mr. President-—snuff—that in the remarks which have fullen from the chair--snuff—nothing has been said against the constitutionality of the tariff” laying great emphasis on the word eonstitutionality, and taking a long snuff at the close.

An Uncvarpep Speecn.—Henry Cahaving enjoyed her Majesty's favor for seveial years, lost it in the following manner: As he was walking in the garden of the palace, under the Queen’s window, she asked him ina jocular manner, “What does a man think of when he is thinking of nothing?” “Upon a woman's promise,” replied Carey,— “Well done, cousin,” replied Elizabeth. Sometime after, he solicited the honor of a peerage, and reminded the Queen field, let us know. We will give you a chance not to be slighted. The Democracy Disgusted. The following resolutions were passed at the recent demecratic county conyention of San Francisco. They speak loudly in reprobation of democratic . rule: Whereas, report has it that a gross) fraud has been perpetrated in letting the state’s prison contract, whereby the . toiling classes are to be burdened, taxed cand eheated for the aggrandizement of a favored few, therefore, Resolved, That a committee of one of each delegatian be appointed 'o wait on the nominees of this convention for the Senate and Assembly, and request of them a public pledge of their best efforts, -if dete, to repeal all laws empoworing any execution thus to act regardiess of the general good. i Resolved, That the same committee that she had’ promised it to him.— “True,” said she, “but that was a woman’s promise.” An Irishman, who had just arrived from the Emerald Jsle, hearing a gun fired at the closing of the day, asked what the noise meant.

Court is wrong.’ And at it he went, . right and left, when the judge again interrupted him with—‘I have decided i that before.” ‘Have, ha!’ with the usaal . accompaniment, responded the attorney, continuing his argument. By this time, the patience of the judge was nearly exhausted, and he was rather inclined to the ‘rile’ and in a somewhat severe tone he suid, ‘If you wish to per' sist in arguing this case, you must carr ‘it to the Court of Errors.’ ‘Must, ha! if this aint a court of errors, . don’t know what it is. Connecticut in Line? . Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune . Hartford, Conn. Tues. Sept. 14, 1852. . Noticing in your paper a short time since a letter from New-Haven setting forth the state of feeling in and . around that place for old Chippewa, I . would like to say a word in behalf of 'the Whijs of Hartford and the ncr. thern part of the State. . To say we are working hard for the . Old Hero of so many battles, is not! . all; we have the soul-stirring enthusiasm of 1840, A large and strong Scott /and Graham clnb has been formed in ‘this place, aud they are at work with a zeal that will tel? next November. . They hold meetings once a week that . are characterized by that energy and . enthusiasm which always prelude a victory. As a criterion of the feeling existing here, / will give a brief outline of a meeting held in New Britain, a town 9 miles distant, last week, for .the purpose of forming a Scoté and . Graham Club. Zhe Club of this place was invited to attend, and it was thought that probatly 100 or 150 would respond to the invitation, but on reaching the cars we found between four and five hundred of the Whigs of Hartford, with a band of music, glee ‘clubs, &o., all bound for New-Britain. . More cars were attached, and, with

hearty cheers for the ticket, we were soon on our way. The Whigs of NewBritain were electrified at the sight of . such a delegation from this place, as that this convention, as a part of the the ability to doit, is worth nothing-— . they were expecting only a small numhigh-toned, pure democracy of the state That he can escape his liabilities . per of our club would attend, and nation, by an emphatic denunciation of the act, throw from off their shoulders the responsibility, and place it where it belongs.

Our opponents strive in vain to smother the enthusiasm for Scott that exists all over the State. They never compare the two candidates, for it is so much like comparing the oak to the thistle that they dare not do it. Zhe Times endeavors to blind its friends (if it has any) by calling such meetings as the whigs had at New Britain “failures. God grant that we may havea few more such * failures . ” J the whigs of all the states do as well as they will in Connecticut, Winfield Scott will be our next president. F. K. W. Election Law. The following is a synopsis of the law relating to elections at the present time in force in California. Ist. The election is to be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, being the 2d day of the month. 2d.

The inspector has power to administer all necessary oaths in the progress of the election, and after the polls are epened, to fill all vacancies caused by the refusal or absence of either the judges or clerks. Electors for President and Vice President.--The last legislature passed a law in reference to the Presidential Election, from which we take the following : . “ Any qnalified voter of this State may vote for Electors at any precinct in the State. The returns of the Election in eaeh county shall be transmitted by the County Clerk thereof to the Secretary of State, on the tenth day after the day of Election, or as soon as he has’ received the returns of each precinct of his county, if received within ten, days, The county clerk ef each county, whenever in his opinion it may be necessary. shall employ seme person to conver the returns to the seat of Government and deliver them to the Secretary of State; the person performing such service shall . be entitled to receive, as compensation, milage at the rate of thirty cents a mile, computing the distance frem the county seat to the sent of Government. by the usually travelled route; his account therefere certified by the Secretary of State, shall be nudited hy the comtrolfer, and paid out of the General Fund in the State Treasury; on the Monday before the first Wednesday of Dscember, or 89 soon as the returns have been receivd from all the counties of the State; if received before that day, the secretaW of state shall compare and estimate the votes given for Electors, and certify to the Governor the names of the proper number of persona having the highest number of votes, and thereupon the Governor shall immediately transmit to each of such persens a certificate of election, and on or befere the day of their meeting, deliver to the Eleetors lists of names of the Eleetors, and do all other things required of him in the premises by any Act of Congress in force at the EMIGRANTS CAN VOTE. The following opinion of Attorney General Hastings, in reference to this year’s emigration right to vote at. the ensuing election, we take from the Democratic State Journal. It is of the first importance as it confirms the right of a large class to suffrage, and will be obeyed by the Judges and Inspectors at the election. We ask the especial attention ef emigrants to it. Artrorney General's Orrice, San Francisco, Oct. 14, 1852. Gov. Bice, Sir, In reply to the letter of John D.
