Tue EXPRESS on THE CAUSE.-THE speech
Of Senator Douglas, delivered on the 81 of
January, is made the topic for leader in
the Express Of yesterday. The Express pub
fishes an abstract of the speech, and then
makes an attempt to show from the speech
that those whom it terms the "pretended
friends" Of Douglas are deserting him. 1t
thinks it has fonnd something at last. But
Douglas denies tie right of sccessiou-the
very thing for which the seeessionista argue.
lie says;
"While affirm that the Constitution was
intended to form perpetual Union; while
affirm the right to use all lawful means to
enforce the laws; yet | will not mediate
war, nor tolerate the idea, until after every
effort at adjustment has been tried and failed
and all hope of the Union is gone Then, and
not till then, will deliberate and determine
what course my duty will require of me-"
Here he states his position in brief, and
because this is his position, the Express very
naturally (for it, comes to the conclusion
that his pretended iends"--meaning those
in this State who supported him, have aban-
doned him. Most sage conclusion, truly

FTGHT WITH INDIANS IN HUMBoLT-TmR-
TEEN KILLED, Erc.-The Humboldt Times OF
Saturday the Cd instant, publishes the fol-
lowing letter received from friend at Iaqua
Ranch, Middle Yager, Bald Hills, giving the
particulars of an attack upon band of
Indians in that region:
On Saturday evening, the 26th instant, a
party of ten Indians made stampede of
the cattle running here, killing three
head belonging to the Messrs Painter,
and one belonging to Taylor and Fairfield,
and wounding two others On Monday
morning party of seven men took their
trail and came up on the Indians the second
day about o'clock, p NJ fired on them and
then made splendid charge down steep
hill, completely routing the Indians, leaving
thirteen dead on the spot, besides severely
wounding several others They also took
one gun, two axes, and a great number of
other articles from the Indians, and burned
their ranches and provisions.
The same paper says:
We learn that the dettohment of U. S.
troops sent from Fart Humboldt have com
menced operations against the Indians, on
South Fork of Eel river in good earnest, and
have killed several. They needed brush
ing down by all accounts from there. Forty
five days rations have been sent to the
troops IN addition to what was first taken.

The following is the platform Of Daniel
S. Dickinson, as We ind it in the Bing-
hampton Democrat:
lst. We are for maintaining the gov
ernment Of the Union aud the Constitu-
ton, 50 long as there is loyal citizen
North or South TO battle rebellion, or a
dollar 10 furnish the sinews ofwar.
2d. We are opposed to the war and
would therefore, crush by the whole pow
CT Of the nation, It's authors who COM
mcnccd it by cannonading Fort Sumter.
Sd. We are in favor OF peace, and
therefore, seek il in the only direction
which will give honorable and enduring
peace-by putting down armed rebellion
so that the Union-loving citizens OF the
South can support the Constitution and
the Union of their fathers, without n re-
volyer to their ears or a Bowie-knife TO
their throats to drive them into rC be lion.
4th. We are opposed to taxation, and
would, therefore, make the war as short
as possible, by exerting the whole force
Of the nations energies, so at the earliest
moment to quell rebellion efieotually and
prevent war and perpetual taxation here
utter.
9TH. We are opposed to all palliatlon
and propositions Of peace or compromise,
until rebellion is silenced, aud its flag,
stepped in theft, treason, piracy, arson,
rebellion and murder, is torn down and
destroyed, aud until the stars and stripes
float over ever State capitol and every
fortress in the Union.
9th. When the roar ofRebel artillery
is silenced and the supremacy Of the
Constitution is acknowledged, we are, as
we ever have been, for guarding with sod-
ulous care every right which II guaran-
tees TO every section Of the Union, and
for strengthening the ties Of brotherhood
sundered by SGT Of graoeless political
robbers-acting against the wishes and
the will Of the masses ofthe Southern re-
bellion. Hi u.

ParIyism vs. ParLolism.

For the Tribune.
Names and definitions are sometimes
said to be vague and varying, but princi
pies are immutable. The principles
which actuate men in resisting any en-,
croachment upon individual rights, as vel
as those brought into action by one na.
tion, when resisting iuvnsions made by
another or a part of nation against an
other pa, may, most cmphatically be
considered as immutable. 1t matters not
what the names or definitions are, which
may be applied to these usurpntions, the
principles involved in resisting them, are
superior to those actuating the invasion.
We are aware that many things, pro.
senting an outward appearance indicative
Of plausibility, may meet with the concur
renee OF many, and move on smoothly
and apparently successfully for time;
but justice will not be bribed, neither will
it be suffered to remain linkedwith injue-
tive and error, detrimental to truth, Civ.
ing progress 70 false doctrines, furthering
the desires and aspirations of wicked men.
But to understand fully the principles Of
individuals or parties, we must attentive
ly observe their proceedings. Language
unlike Individuals, is not limited TO any
particular sphere, and hence it il the prit-
ciPOl medium by which error as well as
truth is made to meet the eyes ofthe great
er portion Of mankind.
We are made to tremble when we be-
hold the musk which hides from view the
true character and principles Of some men
or parties,
BY completely Of sentences, purpose
~ framed so that they will be understood
to mean one thing when read by one, an
other When read by another, beyond the
eouprehensions Of third, the whole a
deceptive mass, performing that for which
It was intended masking true sentiment
and deceiying unsuspeeting men--how
fondly, yes, how ardently, some men la
Dor for this purpose. The spirit Of pat
riotism, which had been lying somewhat
dormant for a time, arising in its might,
at the outbreak ofthis rebellion scatter
ing differences ofopinion concerning po-
litical parties, uniting Northern ffeemen
almost as one man, to aid in its suppress
sion, plainly indicates that, as ignorance,

that love Of country is paramont to every

(or great portion ofthem) are well aware
that without a government their condi-

But stillit seems that thcro arc sons
who refuse to unite in, or sympathise with
this patriotic movement, thereby show
ing that their former declarations, con-
cerning their "great love Of county,
their admiration Of the glorious Union
&c, were all"sham." Simply because
the National Administrator was not in

they refuse to unite in giving aid to the
Government. We do not speak Of all

we speak particularly Of those who will
