The Border States.

The news by the last Pony is probably ex-
aggerated so far as the Border States are
concerned. Those States have not refused
aid to the Government. Gov. Letcher, of
Virginia, has uttered an insulting reply to
Secretary Caneron's demand for troops. but
he is only'one man. and speaks for but one
party. Maryland is loyal beyond a doubt
Baltimore bankers had offered money to aid
in sustaining the Government. This does not
look as though the "llood-tubs" and plug
uglies" Of the Monumental city were the
leaders of the Union party there, as some
would have it appear. Delaware is as sound
as Pennsylvania. We believe that the best
blood in Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and
Arkansas will be shed in defence Of the coun-
try's flag, if the minions of the arrogant Sc
cession faction conclude to venture upon ex-
tending the area of their sort Of liberty
This is no fight Of sections. The North does
not monopolize all the National feeling The
Secessianists here need not hope to succeed in
dragging Southern born citizens of Califor-
MIA into the gulf oftreason, in which they are
now being tossed The howl of "the North
against the South" has been raised. and
every day Southern men express their indig
nation at the spirit which prompts it.
The issue is simply this: Shall jeff Davis
and his rebel army be sustained in attacking
the Government of the United States We
say no; and so say the national men of Cali
fornia. Every citizen owes his first ale
glance to the National Government. State
pride, when it comes in conflict with the Ma
TONS honor, must be humliated, and it will
be- The black vulture will not destroy the
eagle. The war is raging. At the head of
one army is the Commander-in-ch chief of the
army and navy Of the United States the op
posing army is led by Jefferson Davis. There
s no middle ground. Choose ye whom ye

How to Benefit California.

Some disinterested sheets, like the San
Francisco Herald. preach up neutrality on the
part of California during the present troubles
They say that if we will be just friendly
to traitors as to good citizens, California will
become the asylum of all who run array from
the war. Well, she would deserve to be the
receptacle of all the white-liverod neutras in
the country if she would herself fear to speak
for the Union, to enter which she had to
fight every Cotton State Senator, except Sam
Houston. The fellows who ask California to
fight the battles Of jeff Davis, forget that that
worthy, and his present confederates, tried to
make her admission into the Union pretext
for Just such revolution as this they have
now inaugurated. We too, have plan for
encouraging emigration to California. 1t is
to sweep the Secessionsts out of the State in
a body at the elections this summer, by such
a rebuke at the ballot box as will make even
them ashamed to stay. Then peaceable folks
would come among us in numbers four times
greater than now. California will do her
duty as State Of the Union, whether money
or men or both be required. She will not
try to speculate on our national troubles by
keeping herself in position to harbor de-
scrtcrs from both arnpies

ceipt of letters from various responsible
sources, which satisfy us that our Committee
will pursue the even tenor Of its way, re-
gardless ofhypocrtical recantations of fright
ened traitors Besides the will of the rank
and file is known. A fusion Of our Commit
tee with the Secessionists would be as fatal
to the man engaged 10 it as would a coalition
between Lucifer and Michael, to the latter.
These twain might indeed be together" but
not in the present dwellng-place of the

Private Requests to Lindley.

"Charles Lindey, Chairman" declares, in
his call for another meeting of his Committee,
that among other reasons for his back-action,
are the "private requests of many representa-
tire Douglas men" We have heard some ru-
mors in regard to these private requests"
and also concerning the man who was the
moving spirit in getting up the ,crittem docu-
ment which contains them. HIS name is
we'll known in the State, and should it ever
become necessary to show it., in connection
with the filthy plottings now in progress for
the formation of spoils-party whose leaders
shall be dsunonists. mingled feelings of pity
and disgust will fill the minds of those who
have in times past been his political friends
and supporters. May he and they be saved
the humiliation.

The CONGRESSIONAL ELEorIoN.-It is toler-
ably certain that the Legislature will imme-
diately provide for special election of Con-
gressmen in May or June, This will divest
the contest of all the demoralizing influences
of a scramble for local spols. There will be
but little time for the working of party ma
chinery. The Secessionists will talk der ure-
ly about peace and compromise, while the
clashing of arms at the East is the only ar
gument being used there to settle the ques-
tion of supremacy between the opposing
forces. They will nominate men supposed to
be moderate, but they will nominate no man
whose heart does not beat in unison with
theirs. What Will the Union men do? What
is done must be done quickly. The Demo-
cratic Committee can easily satisfy the de-
mands Of the people, and we feel sure that
they will do it.

SECESSION MEANT WAR-The Calaverao
Chronicle Democratic) says;
The exciting news from the "seat of war
did not take us much by surprise, for since
this Secession movemant began we have al
ways thought it would lead to an open rup-'
ture between the Federal Government and
the southern Confederacy. Our readers will
bear in mind that we have said "secesson
meant war" The attack on Fort Sumter is
but the iniative in the great drama which
must follow. The simple question now is,
Shall we sustain the flag of our country, or
enroll ourselves on the side of the enemies of
our free institutions? The stars and stripes
have been lowered, and the Palmetto flag
waves over a fortress which once belonged to
the United States. Major Anderson proved
himself true patriot, and defended his post
to the last; and when he evacuated the fort
sauted the national colors, and marched out
to the tune of yankee Doodle" the fauorite
anthem of the North. Now that great vi
tai principle has been inaugurated, it be-
comes us to lose sight of our little political
differences, and come boldly to the main
question-for the Union or against it. We
believe the great majority of the people of
this State are in favor of maintaining the
General Government We shall ally our
selves TO no party which il. not in favor of the
Of the Union,

THE Secessionists cannot silence the
Union feeling in this State by piously turn
ing up their eyes and expressing fears that

ped. The Union men know no fears of the

the things which it becomes patriots to do
when the. country is in danger No man

ing the cause of the Union. 1t is impossible

ACTION OF THE SETTLERS LEAGUE IN SANTA
CLAEA-At meeting of the Settlers League
at san Jose on Friday last, says a dispatch to
the Union, the propositions of Chabolla's at.
torney to defendants, were, after some oppo-
sition, read, and then without comment, by
vote, burned. The hostility evinced was of
personal character toward the attorney in
consequence of his refusal TO recognize the
Settlers League. A Committee was appoint
ed to raise funds to procure arms, as they
have nothing but side arms. An agent is in
San Francisco to procure the loan or purch-
ase of arms, including cannon. The banner
was. duly presented, and the League adjourn.

place The proposition of the attorney of the
plaintiff, Antonio Chabolla, to William d.

First-If the defendants desire to appeal
from the Judgment of the Court below in this
cause, the defendants will not be required to
give any bond except for costs, and without
sureties, provided the defendants will promise
10 leave the land IN ninety days after the af-
frmation of the judgment of the Court below
If the same be affirmed
Second-lf the defendants desire to remain
upon the land in dispute until the decision in
Touchard VS.. Singleton ct al, now pending
in the Supreme Court of the United States
the plaintiffs will agree that they shall do so,
upon their giving good bond for the use of
the land at the rate of 81 an acre for the
present season. and the same next season.
Should the decision be delayed until next
years crops are put in. conditioned to be
paid if the judgment of the Court below, in
Touchard VS.. Singleton ct al, be confirmed
and, if reversed, then the bond to be void
The bond may state that it shall not operate
as an acknowledgment of Chabolla's title,
provided the judgment of the Court below,
in Touchard vs.. Singleton ct al, be reversed.
