ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PApEK.

support of the present Administration. It's
article We publish below on. the duty OF
enion men in this State, il right to the
point. We commend its perusal to all
Union Democrats, who desire to be guided
Alright in the canvass about to commence.
There three kinds of Support which
may be given to the Administration, viz: Ist
Moral support; I'd, Pecuniary support; and 3D.
Physica! support. Each and all of these NAV
be rendered by individual citizens but they
may all be combined and made most effcctual
by being rendered by the State, and, it then be-.
comes Political support. This is the support
which the people Of the State of California de-
sire to give to the present Administration; and
he who seeks to separate either of the elements
| of that support from the others, seeks also To
impair aud destroy the whole support of the
State, as such, and reduce it to its primal and
individual character, and thus render it insffi-
cisnt and useless Such will be the effect in
| this State of the success of any other party
than the Republican; and hence the strenuous
| efforts to defeat it. None are SO foolhardy as ia
insinuate doubt that California, in the event
of the success of the Republican party throu gh-
out the State, will efficiently support the adj
ministration of the man whom she assisted to
place in the Presidential chair; while it is eyi-
dent to all that the success of any other party-
even though every officer elected prove his de-
votion by enlisting in the army-wil be regard
ed as condemnation of the policy thus far pur-
sued by the Administration, and deprive the
Union sentiment of the State of that moral
force to which 1t IS entitled, and which is so es-
sential an element Of power in 4 State
We assume, as an admitted proposition, that
the great majority of the people of the State Of
California are unreservedly in favor of the
maintenar c., at all a.ards and whatever cost,
not only the spirit but the form of the Govern
ment handed down to us from its patriot found
ers; and it is their desire and intention to COM
nit all public trusts to men, against whose pa
triotism and fidelity to the Government in its
present trying hour. not breath of suspicion
can be raised. And they will determine the
question, not so much by the e,amor...raised by
aspirants to Office under the pressure Of popular
feeling, as by their previous political associa-
tiouS and afinities, and their character and
standing as citizens; and where these latter are
satisfactory, or. a knowledge of them not easily
obtained, their decision should bo and will be
based chiefly, if not exclusively, on the evil
dence furnished by the former. When fidelity
to the Government is the one indspens sable pass
port to public favor, it cannot be reasonably ex-
pected that any thinking man will consider ad-
hererce to party organization which opposed
the election of tie present Administration
however ostentatiously it may boast of its SUI
perior devotion to it now-as the best evidence
of determination to support it; especially if
that organization, while persistently maintain
ing its former antagonistic position, proclaims
its belief that the grounds of its sppcs sition
have been removed. Nor can rejecting patri-
otic men be misled by the senseess twaddle
about "a no-party"-a Union party, to be COM
posed of the men of the different parties but
opposed to all-for "he that is faithess in little
will be faithless also in much" and there is in
the minds Of all men an instructive shrinking
from placing important trusts in the hands of
men whose chief recommendation is their aban-
donment of principle or q policy in whose
support We have every reason to think they
were as honest and trusty as in the new cause
which they espouse with so much ferxor. No;
the people demand, and they will have no half
way men, no lukewarm friends, no conditional
supporters of the Administration in the pres
ent crisis, hut men who, by their adherence, in
defeat rs in victory, to the entire policy of the
Administration, have proved beyond peradven-
ture their devotion to that part of it which is
now the test of patriotism. But we are told
that Democrats cannot vote for the Republican
nominees, as by so doing they would ndorse
the entire Chicago platforE are we, then, to
infer that voting the Democratic ticket would
not be indorsing any platform? If so, we ap-
prehend that, in times like these, but very few
will be found to cast their votes for that party's
nominees. Douglasites, in particular, have a
great deal to say about the propriety and duty
of ignoring past differences" and uniting ON
the Union question. Gentlemen DougIasites,
She people of the United States have committed
the Government, for the next four years, to the
Republican party, to be administered in accord
ance with their views; portion of yo:tr old as
sociates attempt to destroy tie Government for
no other reason than because it is to be so ad
ministered; you say that attempt obliterates all
the differences between you and u.s. and makes
our cause yours; why, tnen, do you not unite
With us, instead of maintaining an opposing or
ganization of defunct issues?-for you admit
there are no living issues between us. We can
not believe that you are so inconsistent and un-
reasonable, or that your repugnsnce to any fea-
ture of Republicanism is much stronger than
your patriotism We believe you will give us
such support in the coming election as shall
forever silence every whisper of dsloyalty in
this State, and proclaim to the world in unmis-
taxable terms that, whoever may occupy the
White House, California is for the Union, snow
AND FOREVER, ONE AND INsEPARABLE."
