WHAT WE WANF.-A cotemporary saws /:
Here are the concessions we are in favor OF.
Seridtim:
We want the Southern States to concede
that ours is a government indeed, and not a
mere compact between States.
We want them to concede that State can
not dissolve its connection with this Union
at its pleasure.
We want them 10 coneede that this gov
ernment has a right to enforce its laws and
protect IT'S property.
We want them to concede that it is the drty
of this government to retake from Southern
traitors its stolen forts and arsenals.
We want them to concede that the seceed-
ed States have violated the Constitution, and !,
while they are in armed rebellion against its
authority, it is tie duty of the government to
put that rebellion down.
We want them to conoede that the taking
of the federal forts and firing upon our flag
are wrongs that should be atoned fof.
We want them to concede that Northern
creditors have right to sue for and collect
their demands in Southern courts.
We want them to concede that they have
no right to tar and feather every Northern
citizen that goes among them.
We want them to concede that it is the du.
ty of this government to hang or shoot every
traitor scoundrel in it.
And.in demanding these things, do we ask
the South to make single concession which
the Constitution of the United States does
not require of them

In regard to the willingness of men in diff
ferent States to volunteer, at the call of the
Government, the Evening Journal of San
Francisco, says:
New York, with a population of over g.,
600, 900, with all the advantages in her favor
has the greatest difficulty in raising Is, 900
troops, or an average of one to 35. Massa-
chusetts has averaged about one in 80, while
Indiania and Illinois, who have done better
than any other State has, only sent about one
to 20. Yet California is abused and SANDER
ed because her citizens do not enter the army
at the rate of one to L.. There is another
consideration, in the Eastern States the prices
of labor ranges from eight to twelve dollars
per month for farm hands, who are expected
to labor ten hours each day. The pay of sol
dier is thirteen dollars, with clothing and
medical attendance, while in the former case
they are compelled to look out for these
things themselves. In California the laborer
receives at the rate of from s25 to $40 per
month, while his pay as soldier is the same
here as it is in the Eastern States. In the
East the soldier will make more IN the army
than he will as a farm hand, but IN Callfor
MIA, the reverse is the case. In the East,
every opportunity Of winning a name fer
courage, is offered in our State the chances
are decidedly slim of ever getting within
thousand miles of the foe. California has
now something over four thousand five hun
dred men in the field; this viii make the
average about one to eighteen, and as each
day is gradually increasing the average, we
claim, with fair chance of success, that
California will prove TO be the banner State.
