the result Of the Union Democratic primary

"FRIEND GUrHmE:-A careful scanning OF
the result of yesterdays primary election
shows the following vote: Casserly, 80; Con
ness, %; Downey, l5 doubtful, Z. The
above is AS nearly correct as can now be as
certained.'
We are also requested to publish the fol-
lowing estimate from gentleman whose We
racty is equally unquestionable: Conness,
so Downey IA; Casserly, 10. lie also has
shown us a dispatch from Santa Clara assur-
ing him that that county has gone for Mir.

HAND ON THE IRRErREssIBLE The San
Francisco Alta says that at the meeting of the
Republican County Committee of San Fran
cisco, on Saturday night, June 10, resolutions
were offered in opposition TO the confirmation
Of Dr. Rabe as United States Marshal of the
Northern District of California. These de-
clare him to be unfit for the office, and OBJ
noxioue to the wishes of the Republican party
of the State. No action was had on the re
solutions and the whole subject matter was
postponed until the next meeting Of the
Committee

LORD Lyons ON THE BLoCKADE.-Th fol-
lowing is an extract from a letter by Lord
Lyons to the British Consul of Mobile, dated
May sth:
The best advice you can give British ships
ia to get off as fast as possible without serious
inconvenience After the effective blockade
has been commenced they will he allowed if-
teen days to take their departure, but they
will not be allowed TO carry out any cargo.
or part of a cargo, taken on board after the
effective blockade was actually begun In
deed. according to the rules of blockade,
believe. they will be liable to confscaton for
attempting to go out with cargo shipped
nfter the commencement Of blockade. But
the effective blockade does not begin until
the Glockading squadron actually appears off
the port The Presidents proclamation is
only the declaration of an intention to block
ade.
Is THE REPUBLICAN Party A UNIT UPON TIE
UNION QuEsrIoN ?-The New York Tribune
when the secession movement first begun,
four months ago argued for the right Of Sc
cession, contending thus;
1--WE have repeatedly asked those who dis
sent from our view of this matter to tell us
frankly whether they do or do not assent TO
Mr. Jefferson's statement in the Declaration
of Independence, that governments derive
their just powers from the consent of the
governed: and that whenever any form of
government becomes destructive to these
ends it is the right of the people to alter or
abolish it, and to institute a new government.
&c, dc. We do heartily accept this doc
trine, believing it intrinsically sound, beneti =
cent and one that universally accepted, is
calculated to prevent the shedding of seas of
human blood. And. if it justified the seces-
sion from the British Empire of three millions
of colonists IN l776, we do not see why it
woaId not justify the secession of five nil
lions of Southerners from the Federal Union
in 1861"
The Tribune has many admirers in this
state, who would be very indignant if told
that Republicans are not all sound on the
Union question. 1t affords us pleasure TO be
able to say that the Tribune no longer iusti-
fies the rebellion; but, like some of those
Northern Breckenridge journals which were
once "fshy," now endorses the vigorous
efforts Of the Administration for preserving
the Union.

Remarks of Hon. Richard Irwin in The
State Convention.

Previous to the nomination for Lieutenant
Governor, the various candidates briefly ad-
dressed the Convention.
Mr. Irwin said he felt proud in being placed
in nomination for an office which he had
sought. lie indorsed the platform and the
nomination of John Conness, aad whether he
received the nomination or not he would 90
through the State, wherever he could extend
any influence, and work for the entire ticket
Applause When he was eighteen years of
age he volunteered in defense of his country
and fought under the star spangled banner
when it did not possess the number of stars
it had now and whenever America needed a
soldier she would find one in him. Arplausel
II he received the nomination he would
treasure it as Il high gift, and whatever ener-
gy he had should be exerted for the success
OF the entire ticket. Applause
After receiving the nomination, (the same
having been made unanimous before the re-
suit of the ballot was declared)
Mr. Irwin said, to say that he felt nattered
was not half expressive Of the emotion he felt
They had placed in his hands a banner upon
which platform was inscribed for the sue
cess of which his best exertioes should be
used. He would go among the people, car
rying with him nothing but the platform, the
Constitution and the laws of the United
States, and their banner should be borne to
victory. IApplause. When they met again
in future Conventions he knew he would be
able to take his friends 10y the hand and tell
them that he had not proved recreant TO the
trust placed in his hands Applause lie
could speak for their nominee for Governor,
as he had served with him in sew eral Legisla-
lures, and he had always found him bold,
positive, and consistent man. Applause
Wherever he (AIr Conness,) went he would
tell the people the truth and nothing but the
truth. He (Mr Irwin would endeavor to
be with him or some of the candidates who
would be nominated, and canvass the State
from one end TO the other. lAnnlgusel
