Who are Abolitionists.

The Secession organ of Butte County, which
has been supported in its incendiary articles
and treason for months past by the official
patronage of the present Sheriff, Mr.. Middle
ton, in its last weeks issue, after charging the
Republican party of all being Abolitorists,
thus charges upon the Union or Douglas De-
mocracy:
"The so.caled Union Democratic party are
fully committed to Lncoln's war policy, and
they are, therefore, under different name, as
much Abolitionsts as the Republicans them
selves"
This, Union Democrats, is the true light in
which you are now, and have been for long
time held by the Disunionists of our county,
who have on more than one occasion used their
best endeavors to unite you with them for the
unholy purpose of giving them the power in
this State, that they might turn upon you and
call you as their tools, now Of no more use,
and then show their real estimate of your
worth by branding you as Abolitionists. -
Oh, what a peaceful, humane, honest and
CnflStlan party lneSe DlSunloulSlo are, IL you
would only believe half their professions on
the stump Bat when the accepted time
comes the cloven-foot shows itself. Stand off,
and believe them not, when they profess to be
lovers Of the Union and our flag for their
words are used to catch the ear, and are
meaningless in truth. They are wolves, and
black ones at that, in sleeps clothing. Pin
them down to it, and they will declare that if
they were forced to bear arms in the country
great struggle for her existence, they would
use them on the Southern side.

ELECTIoNEERIYG DOCUMENTS s.-The charac-
ter Of the electoneerng documents made use
of in the present campaign by the peace party
is sufficient evidence of the traitorous inten.
tions of the leaders to forever brand them with
ignominy. How men, who are at heart Union
men, can be seduced into the support Of party
which parades before their eyes as sound doc
trine, the speeches of such men as Randolph,
Breckenridge, and Valandngham, and the
documents written and prepared by G. T
Bolts, who says !" he is a Secesslonist, and he
don't care who knows it, is problem not
easily to be solved yet those documents are
sown broad cast throughout the land, and men
who effect Indignation at even an insuuation
of their disloyalty to the Union, allow them to
circulate without one word of rebuke They
even aid in circulating them, quote literally
from them while on the stump, and then have
the unblushing presumption to call themselves
the only true Union men, well knowing as they
must, that every such document thrown out,
and every quotation made is a " pat" upon the
back of treason.

A PLEA FOR HuMILIAr1oN-Joh ohm R. Nc
Connell, in his preeminent Secession " blessed
peace speech, last Monday night, compared
the granting of peace by the Federal Govern
ment under the present status of affairs, to the
" humiating position in which George the
" was placed when he acknowledged the
independence of the United States He thus
unwittingy admitted that such an act would
be Notifying humiliation on the part of the
Government, yet be plead for its consummation
and argued that Government should bow in
humiliation to its olcn people. Here again be
unceremoniously, we presume, upset all the
logical arguments of his brother Secessionists ;
that the rebels were already out of the Union.
The really amusing voraciousness with which
a few close around the speakers stand gulped
down the sophistic arguments was like lot of
yonng guIls when the parent approaches the
nest with her fshy food.

HORRIBLE MURDERs.-A terrible massacre
occurred at Thurman's Ranch, about three
miles above Tehama about ii o'clock on last
Wednesday night. Two men, named Hous
ton and Britain were murdered with clubs
and axes, and another, named McIntire, horri-
bly, beaten, and probably mortally wounded
The deed was perpetrated by four men, three
Of whom were Mexicans, and the other sup
posed to be an American. They robbed the
house of about 5000, and then set fire to the
premises Thurman was sleeping on hay
stack near by, and hearing them enquire ior
him, made his escape and gave the alarm
Thurman had shot Mexican some two weeks
before, in the act of stealing his horse, whom
he heard the murderers allege had since died
and been by them buried on his (Thurmans)
ranch. Their object seems to have been the
murder of Thurmpn as we'll as others, in re-
venge. They vowed that they would take the
lives of ten men for the Mexican's death.
Great excitement existed, and about thirty
Mexicans had been arrested, and party of
City or sixty men were hunting for more. We
are indebted to Mr. Mcconnell, Shasta stage
driver, for the above condensed facts.

CRITTENDEx.-Tbe venerable and patriotic
Critteuden, on his route home, spoke to the cit
izens of Columbus, Ohio, using the following
significant language "The South has, as l
believe, most needlessly forced this war upon
us needlessly, because all the wrongs of which
they could complain could better have been
remedied 10 the Union and under the Consti-
tuition than by any act of war !" and he fur
ther said, that the Government has not been,
and cannot be overturned" Sentiments like
these, expressed by the chosen sons of his ma
tive State, make a glorious discord with the
views entertained and put forth by McCon-
nell and the traitor Breckenridge.

KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE,

BEWARE of incendiary Secession documents,
which are flooding the country. They are cir
culating "opnions of Senator Douglas made
in speech last March. But read his last
speech made in Illinois, and bis last letter to
the Democratic Central Committee, and see
what he thought of the war; after it had actu-
ally been begun by the South. The Sherif's
Office has been for week past, studiously en-
gagged in distributing Seeesh documents
through the county. That Office has got the
shakes, and these Secession Peace shots will
not effect cure, it takes Union grape, Of
which there will be a large supply on Wednes-
day next.
Beware of bogus tickets; examine your
tickets before voting, and see that they are o
the true Union stripe, with COnness for Cover
nor, and Pollard for Sheriff.

UNION MEN, REFLEcT.-It is not denied
that the secessionists of San Francisco have
boldly stated that it was the determination o.
that party to concentrate all their strength
solely upon the election of Sheriff and Dis
trict Attorney, for the purpose of resisting
through these officers, the collection of the in
come tax, aud thereby bring on civil war.
This unholy purpose can be defeated in every
county in the State by uniting the whole I'm
ion strength on one mau. This should be done
in counties where the contest is doubtful. Now
is your time to convince traitors by the ballot
box that it will be useless for them hereafter
to attempt to carry out their designs By means
Of the cartridge box.
Our cause has been, and still is being most
egregiously misrepresenied. Marysutle En-.
No doubt of it at all-you have represented
yourselves as good Union men, while your
platform and principles are known to be Sc
cession.''

Keep it Before the People,

That John Conness, the Union candidate
for Governor, has the unlimited confidence of
the Union men of all parties in the State
that he possesses more legislative experience
intimate knowledge of the Vaccinations of the
Secessionists, than any other man in the State
that he possesses more executive ability, bold
ness and determination of character, and could
thus better foil the attempts and designs of the
disunionsts, than any other candidate before
the people and that he can rally the Union
voters of the State to his support in such a
manner, that Secession will be blotted out,
and the Union triumph over all its enemies.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That all the Senators from the Pacific
States, Baker, McDougal, Latham and Nes-
mith are urging their friends, and all Union
loving men to vote for Mr.. Conness, and TINS
insure Union triumph, that no true lover OF
his country would consider sacrifice of power
or principle.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That John Conness possesses the magnetism
which eicits the enthusiasm of the Union men
of the country, and which will attract thou
sands Of voters to him outside Of his party.
And keep it before the people; that j. R.
Mcconnell, his Secessionist opponent, should
he chance to be elected, would precpitate our
State into rebellion and revolution in sixty
days, and we would behold another drama
enacted here like that now raging in Missouri.
