enemies, and their efforts to gain the SUI
premacy they have lost, are corespondingly
desperate also One Of the wilcs of that
Satanic party, lately put in use, is that Of
aTrousing sectional strife in the united
and harmonious ranks of the American
party. They know when an internecine
war is once kindled among US, On section
al issues, it must ultimately, without the
noblcst and most protracted efforts of every
lover of the Union, spread to the ranks of
all parties, until the same deadly and un-
appcasaklc animosity exists in California
between men from different portions of
the Union which now blasts with sirocco
breath the once patriotic, social and poll
teal society of our old Atlantic homes.
But what care our enemies for the good
of the State, or the Union, when selfish
ends are to be attained
The history Of their party in this State
has been the history Of ill-gotten gains
wrenched from our young government in
accordance with the maxim of Marcy, that
he is a fool who does not pluck feather
from tho public goose. Office, the pha-
lanxers religiously believe, was made for
them, and if their prerogatives arc to be
usurped by the people, and the usurpa-
ton long persisted in, they have no in
terest in the welfare of the country, but
would be ready to apply the torch of Eros
tratus to the temple wherein now worship
IN peace and harmony the fraternal rep
rcsentatives from every portion of the
Union.
Insidious efforts are being made by our
enemies to light an internal blaze in ou,
party, to consume our strength, and lay
the remaining wealth of the State once
more open to the political fillibusters who
have fed and foraged upon US since the ad-
mission of California into the American
confederacy. Against these articles of a
willy and unscrupulous enemy it is the
province and the duty Of every true Amer
lean to guard.
1t is true there is but little to be feared
in our ranks, for the combustible material
is wanting, but the good sentinel upon the
watch towers of the party should guard
with vigilant eye the safety of the trea-
sure entrusted to his keeping. Allow the
American citadel to be sacked and razed
to the ground, and who is there with hope
so sanguine, or vision of the future SO
acute, as to see fairer, more rational, or
more substantial structure erected in its
stead' Ample in all its proportions to
unite within its sacred walls the conserva-
tive patriots alike from the enterprizing
North and chivalrOus South, no jarring
notes of sectional discord belong, or find a
lodgment there. One pulse beats, not
with sluggish vibrations, for the great
American Unity. No frightening efforts
Of a skulking and vanquished foe can dis
turb the steady regularity of th,sa pulsa-
tions.
Instead of the havoc intended to be
spread throughout the American army
our enemies will die by the disease the y
seek to scatter. As we'll might you at
tempt to twist q rope of sand, as combine
the discordant and repeling elements Of
Gwinism and Broderickism into cord oi
strength.
The shoulder-striking John Van Buren,
ism Of the one element of California De-
mocraey will refuse to shake hands with
shs ste'nly fortified disciples of j eff. Davis
over the Kansas-Nebraska question, buried
BY common consent There is no affinity
between Tamnany, and Derringers, ant
she instant one faction gets the upper
hand of the other in intestine conflict, the
signal is sounded for tangential fight o.
'he weaker to any ism that deplores tht
degeneracy Of the times, and the want o
public pap.
The volt is in the camp of the phalanx
eFs, and all We have to do is to keep hin
out of ours. Republicanism can gain nc
firm foothold in our party. There is none
so foolish who does not know that nothing
can be gained by its advocacy Right OF
wrong, if its principles may be, its success
can only protract the political disorder oil
the country, which every patriot hopes to
all"y. In this state, the more we ignore
the grounds Of contention occupied by our
brethren in the East, the better for us all.
