Fusion Proposition.

In another column appears a communica-
tion from "A Douglas Democrat recommen-
ding fusion of the two wings of the Dem
ocracy. 1t is hardly necessary for US 10
state that we do not agree with the author
in all respects. but of course have no OBJ.
lection to publishing his views. The pros
poets of the Douglas party are not by any
means as hopeless as The writer endeavors
to make it appear, and bis opinion that the
entire Bell-Everett vote will be divided
between the Breckenridge and Republican
parties this year is certenly erroneous. We
are just as anxious as the writer that the
Republicans should be defeated, but we
are little more particular than he is in
regard to the principles of the party that
defeats them. We are opposed to the over
throw of the Government, and can never
consent TO support men for Office who
sympathise with, and justify the acts of the
rebels OF the Gulf States With few excep-
tions, the Breckenridge leaders Of this State
sympathise with the rebels, and If they
bad the power would attach California to
JEFF. Davis Government They may not
10 their political conventions openly declare
their principles, but the leaders are too
thoroughly committed to leave US in doubt
as to what they would do If they had the
power. II is true, as our correspondent
says, that the question which originally
divided the party is no longer a praciaal
issue; but if we are not mistaken, there is a
radical difference of opinion upon ques-
tion of greater importance than was ever
before presented to the American people.
The rebels having spurned all offers Of
compromise, the only course left is either
to crush them out, or else allow them to
90 on until the Government is overthrow.
This is the great question now before the
people, and until this is settled all other
questions sink into insigniicance. For our
part, we never could think Of sustaining
any men for Office unless they are in favor
of putting down the rebellion, let the cost
be what it may, and such we believe is the
determination OF ninety-nine in every hun
dred of the Douglas party. The Breckln-
ridge party, on the contrary, are committed
to the policy of supporting the rebels, and
of opposing every effort on the part of the
Government to put them down. Such be-
ing the case, union of the two wings is
out of the question.

TROoPs FOR WESTERN TExAs.-Accor.
ding to late advices from Washington, a
project is on foot for the movement of troops
from California to Western Texas, to recap
ture the military posts on the frontier, and
establish complete line of division between
the seeded States and Mexico. The plan is
to enlist 1000 or 5000 volunteers in Cali
fornia, to act in conjunction with the regu-
lars now On this coast; the whole force
would number between 5000 and 6,000
men. This force will proceed to Guaymas
by water, then march across Sonora
and concentrate in Mesilla valley, and from
thence make their way down the Rio Grande.
The Pacific division, according to reports,
will cooperate with another expedition
started from The mouth Of the Rio Grande.
The object is to hold possession of the wes-
tern frontier, and the seeded States would
thus be completely surrounded. Nearly all
The regular forces on this coast have lately
been concentrated at San Francisco and Los
Angeles, which is probably preparatory to
the movement on Western Texas.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-01

LATE 1DvIcEs from the East indicate that
The Government is nearly ready to COM
meuce active operations. A large force
was concentrating at Fort Monroe, under
the command Of Butler, with the intention.
it was supposed, of taking possession OF
Eastern Virginia, and ten thousand Penn
eylvania troops were marching In the direc-
ton of Harper's Ferry. BY the end of May
IL was believed the troops under Butler
would commence their march towards
Richmond, and even before that time, skir-
mishing was likely to occur at Norfolk,
Alexandria, and Harper's Ferry. AT the
same time that Gen. Butler moves towards
Richmond, the troops at Washington will
probably start for Fredericksburg. In the
course Of week or ten days We may look
for warlike news from the East.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-01

TIE Quincy Ill.) Whig Of May l4tb, says
that some sixty families had been driven
out Of Macon county, Missouri because they
were opposed TO disnnion. Over forty fu.
gitiyes arrived at Quincy on tho 18Th, and
they report that scores Of others were fee
ing for their lives. a complete reign of
terror exists in many parts OF that State.
The expelled persons are generally the
most substantial and intelligent citizens,
many OF them shareholders, who are glad
to escape with their lives. leaving every
thing they possess in the hands of lawless
mob6.

THE BLoCKADE.-The New York Tribune
says that the main portion of the feet to
blockade the Southern ports would be at
sea by the middle Of May. The fleet will
consist of fifty war vessels, with steam
transports sufficient to accommodate 10000
men. They will blockade every port the
entrance Of which has six feet of water.
The army on board will require the rebels
to keep in arms, at the various assailable
points on their coast, an aggregate Of at
least l2O,O 900 men.
