THE CONSTITUTION AND THE :EJNION.
A Grand Old Poem.
Who shalltiludge a man from manners 2
Who sha judge him by his dress!
Paupers may be lit for princes,
Princes {it for something less.
Crnmpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beolothe the golden ore
,0f the deepest thou hts and feelings—
, Satin vests could go no more.
There are springs of crystal nectar
Ever wel ing out of stone;
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overgrown;
God who counts by souls. not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values t reuse the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, upraised above his follows,
on forgets his fellows then—
‘ um. rulers. lords remember . ;
That your meanest hinds are men ; ‘
Men by labor, men by feeling,
Men by thought, and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine,
In a man’s ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
; There are little weed clad rills,
‘ There are feeble, inch high so lings,
i There are cedars on the hills; .
God who counts by souls, not stations,
_ Loves and prospers lyou and me ; ‘
For, to him a l vain d stinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea. 1
Toiling hands alone are builders V ‘
Of a nation’s we alth or time; .
Titled laziness is pensioned, i
Fed and fattened on the some ; ‘
By the sweat of other’s foreheads, -
Living only to rejoice,
While t a poor man’s outraged freedom
Vainly lifteth up its voice.
Truth and justice are eternal.
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right;
God, whose world-heard voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Sinks oppression with its titles
As the pebbles in the sea.

Boise Correspondence.
IDAHO CITY, April Bth, 1865.
Ens. Srsrssuss z—The continuance of the
reign of winter, so long beyond the period at
which the advent of Spring was heralded last
season, has produced a corresponding paucity
of items to communicate. We are beginning at
least to have harbingers of “more indulgent
skies," and an occasional small bare spot of
earth in the streets gives some token that the
deep snowy coverlet of dazzling whiteness over—
lying the ground ,throughout the “basin,” and
far beyond it, will soon become among the
things of the past. The cold, backward season
has greatly retarded every enterprise and trans
action of a business nature, confining ei/H‘ything
in the way of mining to the shoveling of snow
and sediment from portions of a fslv' water
ditches. » , v
For more than two weeks past nvtnbers have
continued daily to arrive from bvmw, most of
whom areas improvided as the niftley and mul
titndinous army of th :6 ..,. ; w Pe
ter tthermit, and v“ ‘ M‘ lter,
the Penniless. _i’ '-, ‘ .
{cyof the w . —-. «.2: «rs. ‘ ‘
means of com r e' _
diate paying en‘i'plo‘yilé, ‘, ce a‘ud
hardship has been of nc,fl‘/m‘g.flflucter.—
About a week since some hundreds, mainly
composed of them, held some two public street
meetings, resolved in efi‘ect that there was flour
and other provisions in the city, that they must
have something to eat, and that if not furnished
with flour they would proceed forcibly to take
it. This was something like the good, pious,
honest, conscientious old puritan pioneers in
Connecticut, who finding the- aborigines very
much in their way, held a solemn conventicle,
as the story goes according to St. Horace Gree
ley, and resolved, lst, That the earth and the
‘ fulness thereof belongs to the saints of the Lord. ,
2nd, Resolved, That “we” are the saints of}
the Lord. And 3d, Resolved, That this part of:
the earth known as the Colony of Connecticut 1
.b hugs to us.
1 There has been considerable scarcity of flour i
‘ and one or two other articles of diet, which oc—
casiened a Rev. dealer in groceries, formerly of
“ye City of Portland,” and one or two othersto
raise the price of a considerable quantfiy to
SI,OO per pound, but the honest miners wouldn't
stand it and they were compelled to haul in ,
their l‘high price colors,” and come down to}
‘ about half that figure. This, for flour pur
chased last fall at sls per 100 pounds, is a. pret
ty fair profit, and would satisfy most people.—
Since then some 10,000 pounds of flour has been
brought in from Boise City and other places,
and a large. quantity reported on the way in, so
we have no apprehension of starvation rates
again ruling the hour.
That cradle of greatness, Ysmhill County, Or
egon, seems destined to serve as an arsenal,
whence the President is determined to draw
most of his trusty blades of “loyalty,” for the
benefit of Idaho. “9 have bad one W. B. Dan
iels, as Acting Governor for some time, Judge
Aleck C. Smith, Councilman Cumming, and
lastly, Hon. John R. Mcßride, ex M. C., as Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory,
all from the classit: shades of Yamhill, whose
umbrsge‘ons millions of gigantic firs may yet
become as famous in story and in song as the
olive groves of Plato’s favorite Academe. Snr-~
rounded by a halo of self-glorification, and ir
radicsted by a glow of unattainable knowledge,
that thvored region and shire, has sent forth scl
ons to over-shadow successively, Oregon, Wash—
ington, and Idaho. “May its- shadow never
grow less.” We are thankful to have a real live
,Chief Justice anyhow, and it will be his own
. fault if his residence among us is not a mutu
‘ ally aggreeable one. The position is a very,
honorable, but at the same time a very respon
i sible and arduous one, and numerous issues
of the greatest importance are constantly com
, ing up to be judicially determined. Nearly a
dear will have elapsed before the next regular
‘ term in course of the District Court here, since
i the commencement of the last one, with a cal
i endar of nearly two hundred civil and criminal
‘cases, many of them having been pending for
1 over a year.
‘ Quartz is still the engrossing subject of thought
and conversation, and a good deal of represen
i tative labor has been performed within the lest i
isix weeks. All the mills in the country havei
. been kept steadily at work, with most gratifying 3
results; Quite a number of Ledges formerly lo- ‘
cated and believed first to be good, then par-i
tially abandoned, have upon sinking shafts ‘
twenty-five to thirty feet in depth yielded pros; ,
pests of richness which cannot fat to convince ‘
any but the most wilfully obstinate, and per
versely blind. Among these may be named the ‘
Ethan Allen, Buckeye, and Montezuma, all sil- j
ver hearing Ledges, Jack Thompson, s Span-l
ind, experienced by many~yesrs labor in silver
mines of Mexico, has by industry and persever
ance, 'st ls‘st succeeded after nesrly’vtwo years
patient and persistent eflort, in, demonstrating
the truth of the opinion he strfirst expressed in
their richness and, if no motowhrdvsccident be
fals, is with the exercise ofordihsry prudence in
s fair‘wsy to realise eventually an independent
fortune as the reward of his labors.
The Yubs lining District, (toward the head
waters of the Middle Fork of the Boise river,)
is attracting some attention. Several well do-
fined and promising Quartz Ledges have been
recently discovered id close proximity to the
placer diggings in that vicinity, and men are al
ready beginning to leaVe for that locality, for
the summer’s wrath“. That district will
probably afford l V _r‘{rom 300 to 500 men
during the ensuing ining season.
A tragic occurrence took place at Placerville
the‘latter part of .tht week, in which a Gus.
Olmsdale, shot and‘ killed his brother Edward
Olmsdale. Cause, W's“ It. appears the
two were by theme fl. . It the time, and no

ing from too free apelebration of St. Patrick's
anniversary. ‘
Snow-blindness is quite prevalent, sud the
strongest eye-sight is more or less afi'etted by
the glare occasioned by the reflection. of a
bright sun upon the shining white snrftce of
the country. So many are obliged to weal gog—
gles or colored glaSses, that their numbert are
almost proportionally equal to the Portladler's
description of Oregon, in a letter to a friend
in which he represented “pork is so plenty iere’
that every third man you meet is a hog.” ,
The mail is beginning to arrive once more
with tolerable regularity and in fair time, thinks
to the energy and commendable enterprise. of
Henry Greathouse and others on the Walla I—

Proceedings of the Democratic Territorial

the Union, trident)“ Constitution, as the only
solid founda on ’of our strength, security and
happiness asa people, and as a frame work of
sovernment, iequally conducive to the welfare
and prosperitypf a“ the sums.
2. Resolved Tha whenever the interests of
the people of tie Uniild States demand the same
it is right and iroperto change the Government
of the United Sales by amending the Constitu
tion in the ma er pointed out therein, subject
to the limitaticlifthat no amendment ought to be
made by whiclithe objects for which the Gov
ernment was ceated will be defeated or endan
gered, the resisted rights of the States dimin»
ished, or the qual y of the white citizens
thereof dcstroyid. ‘
3. Resolved That the powers of the Gov
ernment of the United States extend to such ob
jects only, as are entmerated in the Constitu
tion creating it‘and leaves to the several States
a residuary andinviollable sovereignty over all
other objects.
4. Resolved, That the aim and object of the
Democratic party is to preserve the Federal
Union and the :ights of the States unimpaired;
and they hereby declare that they consider the
administrative isurpation of extraordinary and
dangerous pow s not granted by the Constitu
tion; the subveiiion of the civil by the military
law in the Statu not in insurrection; the arbi
trary and milita'y arrests‘, imprisonment, trial
and sentence 4‘ American citizens in those
States where ci' law exists in am force; the
suppression of eedom of speech and _of the
press; the deni: of the right of asylum; the
open and avowel disregard of~StAte rights; and
the interference ith, and the denial of the right
of the people to ar arms in their defence,——is
calculated to prl ent a restoration of the Union
and the perpetn ion of a government deriving
its just powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
5. Resolved, at the sympathy ot' the Demo
cratic party is n ,as it ever has been, heartily
and earnestly extended to the soldiery of our ar
my and sailors 0 our navy who are, and have
been in the fieldind on the sea, under the flag
of our country; d, in the event of its attaining
power, they ought to receive all the care, pro
tection and regard that the brave soldiers and
sailors of the Republic have so nobly earned.
6. Resolved, ’lhat as the Territories contrib
ute to the.Feder?~_Govor-nment their quota of
support, proporti nately with the States, they
are entitled to a vote with the State representa
tives in Congressa—on the fundamental principle
that taxation ought to be represented.
'l. That the Democracy of Washington Terri

white labor, the totemplated project of the Re
publican Revolut nists to introduce negro con
trabands into the'Territory.

Wnrans, Telegraphic information has just
been received that the President of the United

ministration, we condemn the act as one of the

‘ Washington, April lS—The following is 3
full report of President Johnson’s remarks on “4‘
king t e oath of office yesterday:
Gentlemen: I must-be permited to say the." I
have been almost overwhelmed by the annonn°°'
ment of the sad event which has recently occur
‘ red. libel incompetent to perform the duties so
‘ important and responsible as those which have
been so unexpectedly thrown upon me. As to
theindicution of the only policy which may be
pursued by me in the administration of the Gov
ernment, have to say it must be left for devel-'
opinent as the administration progresses, and a
message or declaration must be made by acts as
they transpire. The only assurance that I -can'
ow give of the future is a reference to the past
course which I have taken in connection with
the rebellion. The past must be a guarantee of.
the fixture. My past life, which has been long
and laborious, has been founded, as I, in good
conscienné believe, upon the great principle of,
right which lies at the basis of all things. The
best energies of my life have been spent in.
endeavoring to establish and perpetuate the
principles of free government. I believe that
the Government, in passing through its present"
perils, will settle down upon the principles, con
sonant withgpopular rights, more permanent and.
enduring than heretofore. I must be permittedl
to say, ifl understand the feelings ef my own,
heart, that I have labored to ameliorate the cons
dition of the great mass of the American people
and in the honest advocacy of the great princi
ples offree government. . It has been my lot, and
the duties have been mine; the consequences are
God‘s. This has been the foundation of my po
litical faith, and I feel that in the end the Gov
ernment‘will triumph, and that the great princi
ciples will be permanently established.
In conclusion, let me sayflhat for our encour~
agement and countenance, I shall rely upon you
and others in carrying the Government through
its present perils.:’l trust that in making this re
quest, it will be heartily responded'to by you
and all other patriots and lovers of the rights and
interests of free peOple.
