Secession County Ticket.

llcket WAS uOUnudteus ouuSc NedIlS, WliO ue-
clared himself emphatically Union man in his
speech at this place on the 9th of June, has been
re-nominated for District Judge. AS gentle
man and man of talents, admire him; but
must confess that we cannot understand how he
can be Union man, opposed to coercion, when
coercion alone the Union, which re-
bellion is doing its utmost to destroy.
George d. Roberts was nominated for State
Senator. He runs the coulter of his word pillow
pretty deep into the Saxon language, when he
/. uses'the subjoined:
"This war party, sir, tell US that they want to
trythe strength of the Government. They must
fight battles in vindication of the Constitution.
They vindicate the Constitution! As well, sir
might the devil start crusade against the Chris
tian world in vindication Of the Biole. They
claim that their bravery has been doubted, and
now adopt the tactics of the priZe-ring and the
bully to vindicate their valor. These are the
arguments they use, sir-''the argument of a
fool to an audience of idiots" to Justify them
selves before the enlightened Christian world for
their many wicked acts and the destruction of
the peace and happiness of this once great and
prosperous nation"
The speech of Mr.. Roberts, as an entirety. we
think will 'let him OUT

There, gentlemen we have given your ticket
the benefit of insertion, free of charge.
After the election nothing more will be heard of
it. The convention which nominated you, ap-
proves the platform of the State Convention of
June llth. That Convention resolved that it
was "opposed to the employment of force by the
General Government against the seeded States,
for the purpose of compelling obedience and sub
mission to Federal authority"
Mr.. Roberts says you are ''contending for no
less than your rights, your liberties, the Consti-
tuition and the Union, against the usurpations of
Abraham Lincoln" Union men! All, indeed!
Be careful your efforts to substantiate that
proposition does not prove ''the argument OF
fools to an audience of idiots"
HUNTING AND FISHING EXCURsIoN..Last
Sunday morning Ben. Lppincott, Ira Eaton, AL.
Whipple and w. L. Ferguson breakfasted in
this place en- route for Washoe. They travelled
in their own conveyance, and were armed each
, with doube-barreled shot gun. Ben. Lippin-
colt wishes to examine the Truckee Turnpike
route, of which he has heard SO much, he being
more or less interested in that leading via the
Big Trees. The guns were to be used along the
road. The party also provided with fishing
tackle and every sportsman knows, that if there
is game in the forests or trout in the streams,
these gentlemen-two of whom, at least,
rivalled with gun and line-are bound to have
full proportion of it. Such jaunts afford supreme
happiness to the lover of nature, and to none
more than Ben. Lippincott, Ira Eaton and their
) companions.
SHAMEFUL BUT RETALIAToRY.-Christ said,
that "those who take the sword, shall perish by
the sword" The Marysville Express thinks it
4'shameful' that Mr. Mcconnell should be hissed
down for exercising the right of free speech at
| San Francisco. We think so too. But the Ex
press will remember that such proceedings are
purely retaliatory. The "dimecrats" commenced
| 1o,u in bv pofo in, Of
| the Orleans Hotel, Sacramento, and overthrow
, ing the stand from which he spoke. They pur-
sued the same course in this county towards Mr..
t Tweed, Republican. Free speech, so long as
it is not reasonable, must be maintained. The
editorials of the Express are in proof that it is
maintained-for they not always exempt
from the exception mentioned.
THE VoLuNTEER.-No man should volunteer
) his services in the ranks of an army unless he
intends to fight. He should go into battle fear
less of death-believing the chances desperately
against him-and escape, merely fortunate
) cident. Cowardce exhibited in the face of an
enemy, is an objectionable sin. No high-minded
man could ever recover his self-respect, who al
lowed the secret thought to penetrate his soul.
Open timidity is eternal disgrace.
1t is some consolation nevertheless for the SOL
dier to know, that on well contested field, the
proportion of the slain to the number engaged,
is generally small; and that he who manifests
the most courage by doing the hardest fighting,
is more likely to escape than the idle spectator.
1t would seem as though his activity we're sure
ty against being hit. He thus lodges the bullets
which too often prove effective against station
airy mark.
LIPPITT's REGIMENT.-A requsiton it is
said has been or is about to be made upon
California, for a regiment of infantry and
five hundred mounted men, to serve on the
Central Overland mail route, as protection
against hostile Indians. In view of this
