The THIRD CoNeREssMAN BY reference to
our telegraphc dispatch it will be seen that
the three State Central Comittees recon-
mend that three Congressman be voted for.
As the recommendation will no doubt be
generally folio wed throughout the State by
the three parties there can he no confusion in
regard to the matter. A reference to the
Act of Congress providing for taking the cen
aus, and for making the appointment will
convince any one that the new apportionment
takes effect as soon as made, despite the un-
authorized action of the Secretary of the In
terror. California is entitled to be represent
ed by three Congressman at the next session.

1MPossIBLE.-The Sierra Citizen, says: "1t
is scarcely possible to believe that the Amer
lean people shoald really make war upon
millions of their eountrymen with the view
of compelling them to remain in the Union
against their will" Whereupon the San

equally incredible that these loyal millions
should have made war on the American peo-
pie for the purpose of stealing their forts and
and stablng their horses on Pennsylvania

MCCONNELL AND Mcconnell
said he would go with Kentucky, but he
said she would secede in two weeks. She
has not seeded, and now we see how little
love he really has for Kentucky. He was
with Kentucky if she was for secession. He
should have said 81 stand by Secession, and
Kentucky will secede." Then he could have
been consistent. 1t is the Southern Contcde
racy he loves, and not Kentucky. lie thought
he loved her, because he thought the tempes,
of rebellion was going to engulf her. lie
was mistaken, and now he does not "go
with Kentucky" If he was running to- day,
for Governor of Kentucky, and making such
speeches as he does hear, he would be beaten
out of sight. His friend Breckenridge has
just been repudiated there by tremendous
vote. If Mcconnell was really with Ken
lucky, we could vote for him cheerfully.

A Peace Proposition.

The DEMOCRAT is for peace The rebels
have persisted in their fratricidal war against
their loyal brethren long enough. The wal
will cost the Davisites immense sums o
money, and a fearful number of precious lives
Taxation will be enormous in the South, and
where will the people get the money with
which to pay? We speak entirely for oui
Secession brethren when we advocate peace
They need peace They have friends here
who have howled for peace for months. We
trust that " these few lines" will be sufficient
to induce the traitors TO lay down their arms
We shall enclose copy of this paper to Pierre
Gustave Toutan Beauregard, Esq, Manassas
Sacred Soil. etc. May our cry for peace fall
sweetly upon his ear. We but reterate the
sentiments uttered daily by the Epress, when
we say that war is a very bad thing, and
dreadiully expensive We therefore expect
to hear very soon that Jefferson D.; and his
friends have stopped shedding the blood OF
their countrymen upon the sacred soil OF
the Old Dominion, which, by the way, is far
off from J. De repudiating State of Missis-
sippi and the State Rights thereof.
Reposng full confidence in the peaceable
and Union-loving inclinations Of Charles T.
Bolts, Solomon Hydenfeldt, volney E How
ard, John r. Mcconnell, Thomas II. Holt
Winfield s. Sherwood, Edmund Randolph
A. Maurice, Jr., George ID. Roberts. !. c.
McQuad, Daniel Gelwicks and Thomas Las
peyre, we do hereby appoint them Pence
Commissioners to the camp Of Davis and
Beauregard, with instructions to represent TO
those Union-loving gentlemen the fact that
"wor is disunion eternal and irrevocable," ;" and
that four months of incessant prayers to the
| Government party have been unavailng and
Intellectual, so far as bringing about peace ii
concerned. The Commissioners will eXplair
to his Majesty King Cotton the difficultie
which beset us in all our peaceful efforts tt
induce Uncle Sam to remain quiet whil
out his brains. We have become wcaried il
the work of laboring to effect disbandmen
of the Federal forces, and as war is very
bloody, gunpowderish, dirty and expensive
the Commissioners will urge upon the rebels
the necessity Of disbanding. and thereby
restoring peace to our distracted country
We hope that the gentleman named will
consent to serve. They are for the Union
and for peace, and as they say that war is
disunion, and as they see that war must GO
on until jeff Davis d Co. stop it, they will
we doubt not, leave by the next Pony upon
their patriotic mission.
1t is proper to state that the mileage of the
Commissioners will b, paid in bonds of the

TIE LETTER or EUGENE CAssERLy We ask
every reader of the DEMOCRAT to calmly pc
ruse the patriotic and unanswerable letter of
Mr.. Casserly, which we copy this morning
from the San Francisco Herald. We hope
it may be the means of preventing McCon-
nell from receiving the vote of any man who
claims to be Democrat, Union man, or a
true Californian.
The writer says he cheerfully acquiesced
in the nomination Of Mr.. Conness, notwith-
stan ing which declaration, the Bulletin has
seen ft, most unfairly, to try and make the
letter appear unhiendly to that gentleman.

A POOR RULETHAT WON T WORK BOTH WAYS
The great cry of the Davis Sympathizers
is, that the election Of Lincoln gave cause for
fears that war would be made upon slavery.
They admit that the rebellion was inaugu-
rated, not to resist actual oppression or inya-
sion, but in anticipation of wrongs In short,
the rebels took measures against the National
Government for fear that Government might
sometime oppress them. Then they left Con-
gress to the Republicans in order to invite
anti-slavery legislation. Now will not this
rule of action work both ways? If so, what
sense is there in complaining of the
Government for sending troops across
the Potomac. when the avowed purpose o
the rebels was to advance upon Washington
| The whole world knows that the Confederate
| army was threatening the Capital. What
| idiot can be made to believe the foolish lie
that they have acted on the defensive? ? The
Goose was justiable in assaulting the Eagle
in its sleep, for fear that gosling might be
stolen hut the Eagle was prosecuting and
maltreating the Goose when it refused to give
up all its young to the silly thing. So say
the McConnelites. Is it not sickening?

Donations for Soldiers.

ELIZABETHTowN,k KY,
Nov. 81, 81.
Il seems to me very bad plan to send
clothing to soldiers on campaign, as
the Government furnishes them all they
can carry, and on the first long march
they will throw the donations away, and
they will probably fud their way to some
secession camp. When we get into
winter quarters, an extra supply will be
very acceptable.
There will undoubtedly be a great
deal of suffering among the soldiers from
cold this winter, but to hear that there
are no suffering ones at home, will warm
them up more than all the comforts ard
blankets you can scare up.
