The Nevada journal., 1861-07-12

THE CLovEy Foor-It is safe old PROV
erb that whoever prates over much Of his
honesty will do TO be watched In tiieir
platform the Softs have gone to an extreme
length in expressing devotion ID tte
Union. Now, We know very we'll, that
there were scores of men in their State Con-
vention who do not in their hearts indorse
the resolutions passed as the party platform
Some of them are the very delegates who
voted in onr County Convention for John
R. Mcconnell in the face of the fact that
they were bonnd by resolutions already
passed to vote for no msn who did not come
squarely up and indorse the platform, which
Mcconnell would not do. More; one at least
of these delegates TO the Nevada County
Sacramento, has said he did not believe in
the doctrines set forth in the Nevada plat
form which doctrines are essentially those
indorsed at Sacramento.
But there is other and ouite rs strong
proof that Notwithstanding the profuse
professions of loyalty to the government,
the convention of the Softs was tinctured
with heresies Ina speech of Mr.. .Edgerton in
the Convention he spoke of going forth to
war against the Black Republicans, and the
fellow was cheered by portion of the con-
vention. Yes, these Wanted Union men par
exeellen. .e, these men who would not put
patriot against patriot for the world, nor
would seek to gain Il partisan advantage,
so great is their devotion to the Union in
time of danger, are going forth, in spite of
al their professions, TO war against the Ad-
ministration, which is the Government.
\ Republican President. a Republican
Congress, and Republican States constitute
the soul and strength of the Government.
There is but one issue, and that is Union or
Disunion. The representative heads of the
Union sentiment is in the Administration
and the Republican party that put it in
power and sustains it. The Government
has no existence but ID the action Of the
Republican authorities, and rs there is but
one Issue and that is vital to the nation,
those who make war on the Administration
are enemies to the Union sentiment and are
seeking to gain a sordid partisan advantage
unbecoming and unworthy of patriots. The
,endency of the so-called Democratic party
is to give aid and encouragement to the
Secessionists How far the organization is
| guided BY insincere Union men undoubtedly
| in the ranks, we can not tell to a certainty.
but that their influence is great we jud re
] from the sentiment of Mr.. Edgerton ard
| others. which WAS snplandcd.

The Republican Convention to nominate
County ticket will assemble tomorrow,
IT the Theatre, at 10 O'CLOCK. So far as we
can learn there will be full Fonrention-
The prospect Of sucress creates an intense
interest in seeing good ticket PIT in the
field. Last fall the Republicans had no con-
fdenee in their strength, and did not work
with that will and energy. hope and conf
dence inspires. In the County Convention
of last year candidates were scarcely to be
had. II Was with difficulty that men could
npon ticket. Few were willing TO work
and spend their money for the party on
shat scale necessary to insure even hope
of election, and few of those who accepted
nominations at the hands Of the party had
much confidence at the time that they
would be successful. But as tine wore on
the Republican cause gained strength day
by day, and whensAss election came, had
the Republicans fully comprehended their
6tTcHKtu lue cutiIc tiChct Hpuld h'tNE bNNH
elected in spite of the money and exertions
of opponents. The thought that Phil
Moore might be successful induced num-
bers of Republicans to cast their votes for
Bill Watt. for the Senate. Some of the
most prominent men in the Republican
ranks, and many other good citizens in the
ranks of other parties who preferred Sykes
over either of his opponents, on election
day were disposed to work, and some did
work, for Bill Watt This would not have
occurred had the numbers of the Republi-
taps been known. The vote of last year
has given the people data from which to
Judge. We know to-day the Republican
party has not less thaa $500 votes in the
county, and probably viii cast in Septern-
ber FIVE hundred more than that figure. lis
rank. have received numerous acccs.ons OF
prominent men from other parties, while
scores of honest men who make TO preten-
sions in politics are ready to vote a respect
able Republican ticket.
The Convention OF Tomorrow has but 10
present good ticket to the people ard lis
success is certain. Nevada county will sus-
tain the Administration and its friends

cations are too plain to be mistaken

WEAKNESS AcKNowLEUG ED.-Our lett-han
ded Union friei.ds in the recent Convention
at Sacramento, made most palpable eXhl-
biuon of the weakness of their party IN
throwing Off prominent and efficient men
who belonged in their ranks for Believer
et'ers. Frank Hereford, Wm Govcrneur
Morris and \. S. Higgins, old adherents of
Don las were thrust unceremonionSly aside
for Major Bowie. ali old Know Nothing and
Bell -Everetter, who was not a candidate
The Convention evidently lGsd suspicious
that the party was too weak to cope with
the true Administration Union party, and
therefore sacrificed some ef their best meu
to get if possible the sels-Ererets vote
Major Bowie WAS dragged out OF the retire
mc,sr 10 rtsrcs. lis past adherence to togy-
ISM ifad consigned him, and set mp as a
stool pigeon to trap the nine thousand votes
cast hv the cid gcntlcman's party last fall.
And this little trick has been done by 1
party that prates in its platform that he who
would wrest from the people in the present
distracted state Of the country some sordld
partisan advantage is not true 70 the coma

UNION TO THE coRE-Thc developments
ofthe Soit-shell convention recently assem-
bled at Sacramento show one tast in
more prominent Eeht than eTer-that the
people of California are sound TO the core
for the Union. The resolutions put forth
rs the platform Of the Softs ere intensely
Union, so much so that we fear the COM
parative1y moderate platform of the Re
publicans will be denounced by the Softs
before the canvass is over as bordering on
secession. The truth is the people are all
right, and the Soft shells have t sagacity
20 know it and take advantage oft. They
make n desperate effort to exhibit them
selves as the A-without-discount
Union men of the country wita the hope
of reaping the reward of lLer profos-
sons in The shape of the valuah'e Offices.
While the people are look ng over the uer
its of the partiesit it will be qnite likely to
occur to them that a party with ahead and
vitality that promises respectable length
of days, is preferable TO headless one.
FUGITIvE SLAvEs.-The Tribune has TAX
en- pains to examine the census returns to
learn how many fugitive slaves have es-
capped from the slave States. The le'urns
show that but 1914 have escaped ia all
since ls4O, or about 80 per annnm. Al
loving them to be worth $1,000 each, the
loss amounts 20 aboat one cent year to
each maa woman and child in the slave
states, and if the whole sun. was paid by
the free states it would amount to about
half cent to each white inhabitant pei

a soUrHrRy NruNaRcur,

The London Times, probsbly the most
influential journal IN the world, has cor
respondent in America. sent over for the
purpose of reporting upoatthe progress of
the American question, and to give reliable
information rs to the popular sentiment
BOTH north and south for and against q
southern ccnfetpracy. He is no other than
the celebrated Rlseell, the Crlmean CORES
poudeut OF the aforesaid paper daring the
war on the Black Sea.
Mr.. Russell reports that there is-a strong
feeling in South Carolina in favor of Is
monarchy, and that q wish has often been
expressed 10 him that branch of he roy
al family of Great Britain might be procnr-
Ell to WELD the scepter over the Palraettos,
or that the state might come directly under
the crown of Queen Victoria. Mr. Russell
eridcntly believes what he writes. But,
does any one else believe it? Not in re-
publican country, we feel assured. 1t is
almost impossible for people who have
lived IN Tree country NHeTc liie lustttu-
tions are made by themselves to consent to
endure the restraints os regal authority. 1t
is probably all talk with the South Caroli-
mans. They do not m;an what they say
They desire to get the good will of England,
and so fatter an Erglisllman to write their
svcophantic twaddIe about their admiration
of the Guelphs and monarchlcal instltu-
tions. Perhaps their nonsense reported by
the Times correspondent is the cause of
the once favorable ear the British ministry
gave to the proposition for acknowledging
the independence ofthe nigger confederacy,
and it is even possible that regarding their
chastisement swift and certain, the South
Carolnians may seriously entertain the
thought of throwing themselves into the
arms of any power that will protect them
against the punishment they deserve. Like
the foolish frogs in fable, they have been
intensely disgusted with King Log, and
will not stop until too late when King
Stork shall devour them.
