CALIF ORNIAN INT ERESTS-.U. 8, ‘ SENATOR, From the tone of some of the politica! journals of the state, we are beginning to fear that considerations of purty, rather than.of ‘the state’s welfare, will be too much brought ‘into play in the election of the U. 8. Senator. it 18.4 thousand pities that, among'the many ‘parties, with which the state is blest or curst, there is nots California Party, strong enough ‘to make all the others bow to it. At the: present moment California requires to he Cvinecid at Washington by men who will’ regard the welfare of their state as paramount to all partisan and sectional considerations, They ought to be men not merely of ability, ad writers and orators, but of shrewdness,’ who know how and where ‘to strike whdn the éron is hot; With all due deference to the many eloquent men of the -state, we mst be permitted to observe, ‘hat we. have. known some great orators who were much’ below ‘mediocrity, ig common sense and practical talent. Dr. Franklin had no pretensions to oratori¢al display and flourish, but he possessed what Colonel Crockett called “strong ‘horse sense,” and, therefore, the old Conti_ nental Congress sent ‘him as Commissioner “ “to England and Ambasagdor to France, in each of which characters he rendered more . real service to his country than coutd have been extracted from a regiment of dapper Globutioniists. © 447) ; The Report of the Postinaster General, if wo understand it aright, shows anything but ‘a generous feeling, én his part, toward California., This exalted offieial never has, ‘since first he assumed the control of the ‘Post Office Department, evinced any know!edge of the requirements of California or any ‘disposition to treat them fairly. How many ‘other of the present and prospective Heads “of Departments’ at Washington may sympathize with Mr, Holt, in his ignorance and ‘carelessness about the affairs of California, ds something beyondour knowledge; but, be “they many or few, o nators and Repre“sentatives ought to possess that especial tal-ent or tact which can argue even a cabinet ‘minister out of his errors. Our Senators at » Washington have no business to travel out of their legitimate sphere—which is neither: more or less than to support ‘and defend the interests of California against all other interéste—to mingle . in. sectional strifes. tlat aeither-concern them nor their constituents. Tf any state chooses 'to,go out of tne Union, what.odds is itto California? . California has. no notion of going out of the Union, because: California wishes to be connected with the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic Coast by a grand trans-continental railroad, and she ean.only have such a railroad by staying quietly in the Union. The possession of that railroad will be. of infinitely ‘more consequence to California than the retention of the cotton states in the Confederacy. Let us . build up our own state, by conferring position and power upon men who know hew te build it up, and leave the other states in the “hands of Destiny. Such are our notions, on the matter of a ; U.8. Senator, though we are somewhat fearful that many of the new legislators may think that a man’s Lincoluism, er DouglasPooo-"Femn, or Breckinridgeism is of tranacendentally more importance than his Patriotism.— If the legislature could shake itself louse from the enchantments of party: fealty, long “erlough to elect a genuine Californian to the U. 8. Senate, it would achieve a benefaction * for the state, worthy of an e8pecial day of thanksgiving and praise. \ But we are sorely afraid that “the time is pot yet!” pees SLeery OLp TowN.—Thé Monterey Union observes :—Monterey continues quet— no rivalries without or convulsions within to disturb-its repose, which, is not unlike a contented old matron, surrounded by her children and.great grand children, who naps each afternoon away in perfect serenity, lulled by ‘thé weiiacless roar of old ocean: ” ‘t#Qur Sacramento correspondent will perveive that. large slice of his eommunication hus been left out.

Things are getting more and more mixed hetween the government and the church: M. Billault (Minister of the Interior) has just issued a circular, warning the committees orpatiized for the reception of St. Peter's pence, .These comutittees are all headed by the highest of our, prelates. Although the language of the cireular is very moderate, a highly irritated and bitter feeling is discernible throughout. . Both: parties. are. getting very bitter towards each other. If, as the rumor ig again’ prevalent, the Pope should leave Rome, the situation might become one of great gravity. Once at liberty, Pius EX the French church will be summoned to ronounce itself in one way or another. here is no semi-Catholicism. Outeide of Rome there is nothing but schism, and we will have to choose. The ‘moment will. be solemn :—will it conduct us to the trial of that famous State's. Religion, which is the dream of a good many.people? These are enterprises which eamnot be realized in one day. A pamphlet is about to appear, entitled : Emperor and Pope, According to the suggestions of this pamphiet,the French clergy would be entirely disconnected from Rome. and would be recruited by means of universal suffrage. A Patriarch and Ecumenic Councils would take the place of papal authority. Very well: call that. religion whatever you lease—Napvleonism, Dupinism, Havinism ; ut do not call it Catholicism. Catholicism has its conditions of existence ; the moment you get outside of those conditions you lose your character of Catholic. With the system of the author of this pamphlet France would have a_ religion of her. own: but it would no longer be Catholic. ‘ As for me, placing myself outside of all religious opinions, and viewing the question only in the light of a citizen, I declare that I find it impossible to rally myself to the partisuns of this Napeleon-Pope 1 think ‘that our government is certainly sufficiently strong without intrusting it with the government of our consciences, und that it is good that there is a supreme shelter where our liberty may find refuge. I prefer to see France squarely Protestant ; because there is,in that religious form, an independence and an initistive which elevate man and enlarge his horizon. But government. priests — dogmas controled by the: prefecture of police—a Pope on horseback—consciences which must submit to the maneuvres and the discipline of a platoon of voltigeurs of the guard—these are things that I do not want, md I refuse the present of. ‘See what this system has produced in Russia! a clergy despised and «a mechanical religion. If schism breaks out in France, we will see, alongside of the official religion, which will be practiced by. the sous-prefets and the secondary proms officials, spring a Catholic church, free, independent, disengaged from all connections with the State, standing on its own strength, living on its own resources, and accepting its «rticles of: fuith from no one but from him who. has. his mission from on high to regulate them,, and allowing no hdmail power to penetrate ' in the sanctuary of her conscience. I have’ no doubt that the apprenticeship of a full religious liberty would soon lead us to the conquest of our true political liberty.” State RerorM Scuoo.— In Thursday’s Marysville Democrat is published the report of the Trustees of the State-Reform. School, accompanied by some very ins‘ructive remarks by the editor. The building, now in process of ereetion, and which is’ located some six miles abore Marysville, on Feather river, will be ready for the reception of its future inmates on the first day of next June. The appropriation of $30,000, made by the last legislature, according to the showing of the Trustees, has been very judiciously’ administered, butit falls very. far short of the anfount that will be required to complete the edifice and place it in good working order. The Trustees, therefore, recommend to the Governor-the propriety of .an appropriation, by the legislature, at as early a, period as pragticable, which recommendation, there is little"doubt, will meet with prompt attention, from both the Governor and: the legislature.
