Sacsan,ento Union for the past week in every
issue of that paper Finding it could no longer
operate upon the public, under the guise of indc-
pcndence, it has laid aside the mask, and exhibits
the naked front of Know-Nothing prescription
As the time of trial approaches its managers per
ceve plainly that defeat stares them in the face.
Neither the Union nor the Press have anything
to say against the Republicans for leaving their
ranks, They are no longer denouncedas perjurers
or traitors. To these fierce Fillmore advocates,
there is no longer any difference Of sentiment be-
tween Republican and Know Nothing-nay, they
are bound together in an indissouble bond of
opposition to the Democracy-a factious war for
spoils. without other object a shadow of princi-
pie. Hence we read day after day, long cantiug
sermons, begging and praying the Republicans
to come to their aid, in the county and State
ticket or their weakness will surely become mani
fest to the world Succumbing to the men they
lately scofcd at-groyeling in the dust-they be-
moan their fate. and oringingly adopt every form
of begging supplicaton to wheedle men out of
their votes, They rally under the cry of oppO-
sition to Democrats. We shall see if there is any
truth in Republican professions.
I'VE openly and fearlessly declare that we are

Yes neighbor you are not only in favor of ex-
tending the time to 'hoenfy-one gears" but your
party set forth in your third proposition that ma
tive born citizens should be selected fox 'aH State
Federal And MUNICIPAL OFFICES OF GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYMENT"
This we think would include street scaveneer
lamp-lighter, or any kind of employment whatev-
er. Those ere not generally considered high
positions but nevertheless such as many good
honest man is glad to obtain. Now if your theory
is good in public matters, it ought to be carried
into practice in private transactions; which would
give many foreign born citizens, a good oppor-
tunity to Starce to deah. Whilst the editor was

And now his successor. James Anderson who

Lord bless the man, we have never pretended
to be anything but Democrat, and the more we
eat of that political faith, the better we like it,
every mouthful we take in, it tastes better and
better and every time bring our grinders
down on the old quid it tastes sweeter and
sweetcr.
Now you Hiram once got your belly-full of
whigery. and all at once it turned your stomach.

now; but whether you will throw up or work off
some other way. can't tell at this time.

democrats live; fight for: grow fat on:-no stntcd

MURDER IN Tub FIRST DEGREE. The
Young MEMS Democratic Club of San Fran
cisco, without the knowledge or consent
of James Buchanan and j. G. Breckenridge
but out Of compliment to those distinguished
patriots elected them honorary members Of
their club. This fact is taken by the editor
of the Press, hashed up with the opposition
to the Vigilance COMMITTEES; some remarks
OF the San Francisco Herald, and produces
the following portentions and sanguniary
warning.
Let it be remembered that JAMES BUcH-
ANAN and }. G. BRECKENRIDGE are honorarv
Members of that Club.
s..ould they be elected, (Which NAV God
forbid,) we presume that upon there commen-
dati0n of their associates, the whole availa-
ble force of the United States would be at
once despatched to level San Francisco in
the dust and massacre the rebels of the Wig
lance Committee. Let quiet, sober citizens
reflect
so what an "orable" time there will be.
curse shall light upon the limbs ofmen
Domestic fury, and fierce civil strife,
Shall cumber all the parts of San Francisco
Blood and destruction shall be so in use,
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall smile, when they behold
Their Infants quartered with the hands of
war;"
That's not half that will be done, so let
the cripples and the women and children take
to high seats, for the elephant is coming.
