A THIRD PARTY A hint has been dropped to
us, bv one who knows, that an effort is making to
organize Black Republican party in this city
The same effort will be made, it is said, in other
cities of the State but will not be attempted, for
the present outside of those limits; the organizers
knowing full we'll that there are no elements in the
population at large with which to operate for any
such result.
Should there be truth in the statement made to
us, it may cause slight disturbance in the polit
cal waters of California-in some places, perhaps,
q considerable commoton. But the Phalanxers
who are the concocters of the movement who
the industrious brewers of what they hope will be
a storm to sweep the American party to destruc
ton, will alone be the sufferers The great Amer
ican cause OF " the Union for the sake of the Un-
ion,' and unylelding opposition to all sectonasm
whether of the North or the South. still stands
and will stand, an impregnable tower of strength
amidst the contending factions around it and from
its serene height the friends of our national neace
and prosperity will look down with mingled feel
ings of sorrow and contempt upon the low srifa Of
passion and prejudice at theirleet.
Let Americans remember, that in numbers thew
outweigh all opposition in this State and that tbey
occupy in good faith Gas each member of the norty
is aware), the highest conservative ground They
have only to be true to themselves and their cause
and there is no danger to be apprehended from
outside Influences political formations designed
to distract them.
The American party of California has noblv
sustained itself in the crisis which gave it birth
Still true to its original purposes, it has found no
affinity in any political combination of the dav
which has been able to draw from it any valuable
portion of its material In regard to the question
of slavery, there may be difference of opinion,
both in the abstract and in practical view of the
subject by its members but there is no sectional
ism in the party, and no wish to be divided by any
sectional issue. The man of the North stands fast
hx,b nc brnth Of 4bo
because there is nothing to dispute about. The
question of slavery does not come up They both
stand upon the same broad and common ground of
devotion to the Union and fidelity to the interests
of California. If it were still a mooted question
whether this State should be slave or free then it
would be very different matter. There would
then be an open question between men of the North
and of the South but at present, it is the merest
nonsense in the world to talk about the subject at
all--Stdte Tribune

BANKS VS.. THE CALIFORNIA Press The Journal
Of Wednesday, referring to the Tibunes refutation
of the unfounded SANDER which the former sheet
set aAoat about our expressing delight at the
election of Banks says
awe don't think the Argus will thank the Trib-
u1e for this oficious interference Why should
they not rejoice! Was not Banks election a
knownothng victory!"
We do thank the Tribune, though, most heartily
particularly as the Journal has so much the ad-
vantage of us in appearing six times week to our
once. weekly paper can not begin to contradict
all the falsehoods and Misrepresentation of that
journal, and pretend to do any thing else. The
Golden Era itself--with its eight large pages
would have every number crowded, if it contained
the whole truth concerning every matter about
which the State Journal tells the remainder.
Speaking of Knownothing victories, read what
the S. F. Euening Journal says about Banks cleo
ton. 1t devotes the better part of long article
to giving the Knownothings particular plita for
being what it styles "putty heads" and dough
faces " - abuses the Representatives of the Amer
lean party in Congress for not supporting Banks,
and says
Its representatives in Congress voted either for
that South Carolina abstractonist Aiken, or for
that trimmer putty-head and doughface Fuller of
Pennsylvania. Only one acknowledged member of
the order voted for Banks"
The EUe. JON. is a paper of the Black Republi-
can faith--the only one we believe in the State
is trying to build up party on its princples-and
would not be likely to so berate the Americans, if
it had any thing to hope for from their success.

Banks and the State Journal.

The State Journal of Monday grossly misrepre-
sented us, by saying that "seem to hail with
delight the election of Banks to the Speakership"
In eur account of the election not one word can be
found expressive of delight, or even satisfaction.
In fact, for what consider the very best of rea-
sons, we did not breach the merits of the case-but
were engaged with an abstract consideration of
the conduct of Mr.. Beatty, of Caaveras. We
ehronicled the election, and alluded to the course
of Southern gentlemen on the OCCASION and then
held up in contrast the course of Mr.. Beatty. We
stated that it was by means a settled point that
Speaker Banks is an Abotionist, and still say so.
variety of opinions, pro and con, has been given
out, and those having the best opportunities OF
knowing say he is not an Abolitionist-though we
suspect he is at least free soiler--but once and
for all we wish to be understood as not defending
Mr.. Banks nor expressing delight" at his elec-
ton. We would be truly sorry to champion an
Abotionist, and have never, far as we know,
been suspected of any afiliation with such-nor
with free soilism either. How is it with the Jour-
nal Do tell
But we might have expressed satisfaction, and
as we did not last week we will now that Congress
finally succeeded in organizing, even though by in
tiating the organization with the election of Banks
The great padre of Democracy the Washington
Union, announced with considerable JUNCTION the
organization, and expressed the opinion that twere
better Speaker Banks than no Speaker at all--so
that the wheels of governmenment could once more
move on
Another item in the Journal of same date, reads
The Coloma Argus says that Farley's anti
Banks resolution does violence to the conservative
character of our State"
AS the item is copied, the design in quoting is
not apparent; but from the tenor of the assertion
quoted at the head of this article we conclude this
is introduced as evidence of our delight" We
did say that Speaker Farleys substitute does vio-
lence to the conservative character of State
and have yet seen no reason to unsay it.
The true policy of California is to remain nom
committal on the slavery question. In truth this
might be said of every State which has not the
" Institution" within its boundaries but par
ticularly should remain without the pale of
sectional strife, being so far removed from the
causes of these ebutions of antipathy. We beg
pardon of intelligent readers, for taking up space
to defend position which all true Californans re-
cognize as the true policy of the State. In COM
mon with the class of citizens just named, we ask
that the Legislature be not called upon for an ex-
preston on this vexaous subject-and especially
when the call is made in view of a foregone event,
such as the election, last month"; of Speaker in
the Lower House of Congress.

ceived into his hands as belonging to Adams & Co.,

which he has retained and refused to deliver over
