Repcsiic oF THE Paciric.—Venerating

Henry Clay and Daniel Webster were the
illustrious exponents, we so much reverence
the Union of the Republic as to think it

history of all nations proves that some time .
. oY other we must all reach our culminating
point of power and usefulness, and like all
who have preceded us, decline and decay,
We are sanguine enough to hope that the .
day of our ruin is afar off. Hence, when
we see it broached thatin the event of a
dissolution of the Union, California
Oregou would make a very nice Republic
of themselves, we naturally suspect a larkiug wish on the part of those who make
this prudent suggestion, for dissolution, as
well asa too feeble faith in the Union.
“Sufficient for the day is the evil tbereof.”’
If it must be that iolly shall soon triumph
over wisdom in this Republic, and that the
South shall separate from the North, then,
when the “evil day cometh,’ and not till
then, we shall have our say abouta ‘“Republic ou the Pacilic.’—[San Andreas Independent,

VICISSITUDES OF Famiiirs.— Genealogy

business is to investigate and record the de. scent of families, everything is against it—
. its difficulty, dryness, and apparent narrow; mess and exclusiveness of interest, But
. When the facts of the study are applied and

their inquiries to its bearing on history and

causes of the decay of families admit of an
orderly Classification, and, what is more,
the aristocracies of different nations, bowever, nulike in other respects, go through
much the same historical dey elopments
Feudal families have been succeeded in Europe by legal and mercantile ones, just as
the Roman patricians were by the nobles :
anda Mirabeau springs from the ruined
older stock, just as Caesar did in the Roman world, In classifying the causes of
family ruin, the first piyee must be eiven
to the political oves, The old Saxon aristocracy fell chiefly inthe Danish wars: and
their Norman successors inthe Scottish
French and civil ones, Every social stroggle and social change has its martyred
houses, In settled times, extravagance
sometimes in electioneering, but more often
personal—is the great destroyer. Often
the last distinction of an energetic race, is
their going to the devil, in an original way
and ona great scale. In Seotland, the Ja. cobite families often took to drinking.

Bishop or Marysvitur.---Rev, Eugene
O'Connell, Dean and Professor of Allhal. lows Missionary Castle, Dublin, bas lately

Francisco in the Summer of 1851, and
Shortly afterwards commenced his pious la. bors at the College of the Mission Dolores.
. wh A. priest
being very much wanted in Lower Califor. nia who could speak English, Archbishop
. Allemany sent Father O’Connell to fill the
. call. He was stationed at Santa Barbara,
. and having remained there about a year
. and a half in the discharge of the duties ap. pertaining to the position, returned to San
. Francisco, During his sojourn at Santa
. Barbara a mutual attachment grew up between himself and the natives and Americans there resident rendering the severance
. of his connection with his charge mutually
painful. Soon after his return to San
Francisco he left for Ireland, and on erriying there resumed his former position as
Dean and Professor of Allballows College,
which has produced some tmost excellent
and eminent Catholic divines, who are now
scattered throughout the United States and
Europe. Bishop O’Connell is now on his
way to California, and may be expected at
an early day. The Catholic residents of
California will be pleased to have among

and Jatterly proprietor of the Victoria Gazette, has been sentenced by Judge Pemberlon, of Victoria, to one month's imprisonment, and required to give security in

his imprisonment, for knocking down in
Court a man who called bima Jiar, The
most bumble apology and the strongest
justifiable circumstances availed nothing in
. mitigation of the heavy penalty imposed by
the Court; Judge Pemberton intimatiny
that a resort to a duel with deadly weapons would have been a more proper way
for the captain to resent the insult he guifered,
McGowan’s Inxsrructions.—A Mesilla
correspondent of the San Francisco Herald
writes that as Ned’s constituents are chiefly
Southern, they will not be willing to accept
an organization under Republican rule, and
that he will be instructed, should the Sout!
secede, to attend the Southern Convention
and pledge the Territory to the Sonthern
Confederacy, and to ask fora Territorial
organization under that Confederacy. Tle

astonishment at the unexpected manner in
