Bell, Lincoln and Coryyin.

The first gentleman here named who is now
styling itself the Union Party" was, like Lin
coin, Corwin and the Abolitionsts generally, op-
posed to the Mexican war.
We propose to show that, in doing so, they
committed the high crime of treason. Now, the
penalty for the crime of treason is death by the
halter. What constitutes the crime of treason?
Section Sd, article Sd OF the Constitution reads
thus.
Treason against the United States shall con-
sst only in levying against them, or in ad-
herring to their enemies, giving them aid and
comfort
Thus, 1t will be seen that if these men encour-
aged the enemy in warning against the United
States, either by word or deed; if they gave
them aid and comfort" they committed the
high crime Of treason-and it is alone attrbuta-
BILE to the magnanimity of their countrymen,
that they are to-day treading the soil of this
green earth, instead of rotting beneath its sur
face.
In his place in the House of Representatives,
Corwin delivered the atrocious sentiment that
the Mexicans ought to greet our soldiers " with
bloody hands, and welcome them to hospitable
graves" He thereby committed treason-ac-
cording to the language Of the Constitution it
self-against the United States, "a in adhering
to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort"
and would, if the penalty of the law against
treason had been executed upon him, been hung
by the neck until he was dead, dead, dead.
Abe Lincoln also in the presence of the Amer.
lean Congress, denounced the war as one in
Americans in the wrong-and voted for a reso-
luton which declared that it was an "unhoy
unjust and unconstitutional war;" and thereby
gave " aid and comfort" to the enemy in time o
war. And for that he, too, if the law had
been executed, would have been strangled in an
attitude Indicative of his unftness for either
heaven or earth.
And John Bell, of Tennessee, the home of ole
Abolition traitors just named. He declared thai
the Aboitionists had "perfect right" tC
thwartr the Government, "by all the mean:
of speech. writing and voting" in its prosecu-
tion of the war, even should the tone of re-
monstrance rise so high as to penetrate every
vale in Mexico, reverberate among her noun.
tains, and ROUSE the whole population to 9
| spirit Of resistance" And thus he, too, gave
aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war
and if the penalties of broken law had beer
dealt out to him, he, too like John Brown al
Charlestown, would have suffered the malefac-
tors death, by strangulation at the end of a
hempen cord.

Political Scoundre1s,

The Douglas papers in Oregon openly accuse
the " tusionists, or sol disdnt Democrats who
voted for Baker, as having been bought with
California gold. The Times and Advertiser. both
of Portland, and indeed. every Oregon paper
that we have since seen with the regular ticket
at its editorial head. has denounced the infa.
nous coalition as having been brought about
by the judicious and liberal use of gold.
The Corvallis Union thus alludes to the prin-
cipal actors:
The election of Baker and Nesmith will prove
to Oregon a most bitter calamity All her in.
terests will wither by their touch. The means
by which they have secured their seats Gf the
Senate should admit them) will advertise them
to the Senate of the United States as politically
and morally corrupt, as base men who have no
scruples when place and power are In question.
They will enter the Senate, one as occupvinp a
seat bought with corroding gold, the other MS
political renegade who sold his party for no.
sition; and while they may be allowed to walk
out and in the Senate Chamber and put on the
air and dignity of Senators, that will be all
they Will have to stand apart from majority of
that body, as unfit to receive the confidence so
necessary to success. Baker goes as a Repub-
lican from a Democratic State, and his party in
the Senate are and must be conscious of tho
fact that he comes with pollution on his hands
and his garments, that bribery has accomplish.

and voting. The platform was adopted on
full, fair and square vote, follows; Ayes, los;
noes, l3s-majority for 1t, a.
This platform was adopted, we repeat, in full
Convention, when not Il single member was alb
sent. afterwards Yancey led Off the cotton
States After that, at Baltimore, he led off other
seceders, amounting in the aggregate to less
than one-third of the entire Convention But he
and his brother secessionsts never, while mem.
bers of the regular Convention, altered in the
slightest particular the platform adopted in full
Convention. That platform is the same that
Douglas now stands upon That is the only
platform ever adopted in the Charleston Con-
Ven'lon 1t was adopted before any delegates
had seceded-while it was full-when nobody
doubted its legitimacy. 1t therefore new stands
as the only platform adopted by the regular Ma
tonal Democratic Convention of lS6O-and
must inevitably so stand until the next National
Convention assemblies in 1861.
The friends of Douglas therefore now stand
upon the only platform adopted by the undis.

Facts.

Before the particular ballot was taken upon
which Buchanan was declared unanimously
nominated at Cincinnati, he had received but l6s
votes, or l3 less than Douglas received at Balti-
more before he was declared the unanimous NOM
inee. Douglas, after he received 1sl votes in
the National Convention, was declared unani-
mously nominated by the Convention, which
then consisted of 212 members, or ten more than
the -thirdsrequired. Theresoution declaring
him unanimously nominated, was adopted with
out single dissenting VOTE and was just as eff
fectlve if the roll of States had been called and
2l2 votes had been formally recorded for him.
Again: Two-thirds Of the votes cast-not of
the votes in Convention, or entitled to be in
Convention, but of the votes actually cast-suf-
feed to nominate Gen. Cass in 1913.
Now, if two thirds of the votes cast-and not
two-thrds of the votes in Convention-made
Cass the regular nominee in ls4S, by what rule
of arithmetic or logic can it be made to appear
that Douglas, after receiving two-thirds of the
votes cast, and then ten more than two-thirds of
the votes entitled to be In Convention, Is now an
irregular nominee?

THAT'S So.-Col. Rust, of the Celaveras Chron-
,cle denies the assertion of the S. F. Herald, that
the Democratic party owes Judge Bolts, of the
standard, anything-not even single penny's
worth of anything"-says /" the people are Of
this opinion"-for the reason that abe has been
untrue to the pledge which procured his nom
ination as State Printer, position for which he
was entirely unqualified" For, continues the
Colonel, 4" he promised, in consideration of re-
ceiving the nomination, to publish first class
daily Democratic paper, and did not keep his
promise. He received every enco ;ragemeat
from the party, and then endeavored to divide
and distract the party, ard at last designedly
fzzled with his paper"
That is spoken of Breckinrdge editor by a
Breckinridge editor, and it's about true

GeA- Isaac |. Stevens, Chairman of tho
Breckinridge National Democratic Committee,
is, it is said and undenied, a defaulter to the
Government to the extent of $4,000. Here
may be the key to an important secret, showing
how great things may be produced by small
causes.
Tall trees from little acofns grow,
Big rivers from little streams how."
Stevens owed the Government SAL 600. Stevens
was member of the Committee on Resolutions
and Platform for Oregon. His vote in Com
mittee caused the Breckenridge platform to be
reported as the majority report. If he had voted
for the Douglas platform, it would have been
named as the majority report In which event,
perhaps, there never would have been any seri.
GUS secession-in which event Douglas would
have been nominated at Charleston, and elected
before the people-in which event old Buck
would have been greatly embittered-in which
event Government might have been unamiable
in the settlement of the littl e ex.Governor's ac-
counts Verify, great effects from little causes
flow.

Rs5- In 1856, Albert Pike, the poet politician
of Arkansas, said he hoped to see the day when
the institution of slavery would no longer exist
in this Union. The Preckinridge papers are now
quoting him as one of the Yancey-Dayis, Breck-
inridge fire-eaters.

them for their courtesy and expressions Of
regard. He then bade them kind good
night, and they left him with renewed
cheers.
The Cleveland boys did well and We feel
proud Of them, and equally proud do we and
they feel Of the kind and unceasing attentions
of the Detroit boys. The entertainment
which the Clevelanders received will not be
forgotten-it was too hearty and generous.
The Clevelanders returned to the boat
about II o'clock, but there was so dense
fog that the boat after steaming up past the
town to give good opportunity for more Gre
works, returned to her dock and made fast
Here she remained until daylight, the fog
rendering it unsafe to start out. But all the
doings of the Cleveland boys in the musical,
military, athletic and barbaric lines, we have
conscientious scruples against publicity.

RESOLVED, That for the untiring efforts of
the steamer Ocean to render comfortable and
agreeable our present trip, the Cleveland
Wide Awakes acknowledge themselves un-

others, the thanks of our "inner men" are
due, for the courtesy extended during the

good will wherever we may meet them.
The publication of this resolution in the
