of our organs and speakers, to the effect that
dissolution Of the Union was the main oh
ject of the leaders of the Breckinridge bolt
from the Charleston Convention. The patri-
otic masses Of those who were induced to vote
for Breckinridge really believed then, that
they were acting with as true Union men as
there were in the land. This sneaking at
tempt of avowed secessionists to crawl into
Union with the lIoge Committee will be met
with a shout of derison from one end of Cali.
fprnia to the other. The consolidation of the
Democracy, indeed ? What Democracy :?
| The National party, which sustains the Gov
ernment, or the rank secession crew who, by
superior management have contrived, in
the Calhoun system the test of "soundness, 40
they ridiculously called it Why, if Aboli-
tionists of the rank Gerrit Smith stripe had
made the proposition, it could not have been
more disgusting or impossible.
The secession patriots tremblingly beg of
their leader, Charles Lindley, to retrace the
steps already taken by the Committee, in the
hope, as they say, that "it may be found, af
ter conference, that we agree upon living
issues In Gods name what is the living
issue now, except the question as to the rela-
tive military strength of the National and the
Rebel armies What issue is now to be de-
cided except whether jeff Davis shall fulfil
his threat Of seizng the Federal Capitol with
in thirty days? Are the Disunionists in our
midst, sanguine of the success of this accursed
traitor? DO they propose already to divide
with the National Democratic party the plum
der which the puissant Davis shall secure in
Northern cities 10y use of Sword and torch ?"
Because the wild geese that fly North ward,
get back safely when winter comes on, do the
Botts-Heydenfeld party think that there is
no risk in the attempt by the Southern Con-
federate leaders to whip that portion of N orth
dominions? The Democracy of California
are not on the side of the mouthing, buster

ment. They ask no counsels of those who

and who exult over blood split iu defence of
our country's cause. The Committee of our
party is not composed of thieves, or shameless
political harlots, as the Disueionists would
fain believe. There is not, and there never
has been shadow of a shade of an intention
on the part of our Committee to touch the
Secessionsts with forty foot pole. We are
not saying these things for buncombe, nor
merely to fill up space in this paper We are
saying words of truth, that need to be said at
this time.
If you think we write too emphatically,
look at the list of names appended to the
letter to Lindey. There is Sorrell, who i'm
mortalized himself at the Capital this winter,
10y offering a resolution denouncing Gen.
Winfield Scott for too firm an adherence to
the cause of the nation whose armies he
commrnds there is Aylett, who, whatever
his own sentaments may be, was supported
by the Secessionists for Hospital Physician;
there is John Cactus Burch who made him

public; there is Dan Showater, the Penn
sylvanian, who, only last Friday, in his place
in the Assembly, asked in all candor of
what service to the country two members
from California could be in the present Con-
gress ;" there is FULLY Wise, "the nephew
of his Uncle" Henry A.; there is Thos. Las
peyre, who so excited the rsibles of the AS

United States forts then in the Governments
possession, as the property of the Southern
ConGederacy; there is b. f. Washington, the
trusty Sancho Panza of William NJ. Gwin
there is the South Carolina member from

too manly to conceal the disunion sentiments
long entertained 10y him; there is T. A. Tai.

open and rampant Dsunionists and anti re-
constructionists in the State there is Crit

are not usually counted as being very firm in
their support of the President in the present
conflict there is U. S. Marshal, p. L.. Solo

go through the list? We have no stomach
to dwell upon such business There is the

Democratic party, by all means see to it, that
