FRIEND MArrlseLy;-From my long 81
lense you may have thought / had secee-
ed. but such is not the fact. 10 I am yet o.
mong the living Union Men of California.
Of which there are many. but not al, for
there are few here who came from the
Gotten Ststess and swho now sympathize
with thesewho are trying break up che
government. But among the whole popu-
lation Of the State you will not find more
than two out every ten who openly SYM
pathize with the called Southern Con.
federaeye The great theme st present. IS.
how viii we nominate our; State ticket for
the coming fall election? The Douglas
Democratic State Central & Commiste have
called a. Convention for the 4th dsy oi
July. and ask all Union Men to join them.
irrespective of party. The Breckinridgs
Democratic Committee have called a g on
vention fox the llth Of June. and they pro-
pese to accept all those who will endorse
the Crittcuden Compromise The Re-
publican Committee have called Conven-
tion for juno the 10Th. and iinvite all who
are in favor of upholdiug the Adniuistra,
tion to join themd Then. there is q Con-
vention called by the Union Clubs Of the
State for the 18Th DAY Of June. This i
called . Union Convention. and all Union
men are requested 10 join them and leave
all party organisations For meito say
how this will be arranged would be all
speculation on my part. But win give
you a few reasons why ] think that the
Repu blicans ought TO sustain their oresni-
zstiou.-They ere the only administrator
party in the State. and never. in the histo-
r. Of our Government. has any Alminis-
ira ~ been without an organized party d
its friends to sustain lis measures; il hal
become political necessity. because al
popular Governments mast look to the
people for support. and that support car
only be e.fectnally rendered by union o
its friends in an organized body Th'
Republicans Of California have laboret
hard during the past FIVE years. in tn
midst d all kinds of abuse, in perfectins
their organizations and at last their efforts
have ben crowned with success. and oth'
vote Of California was cast for the present
occupant Of the Presidential chair. w,
are undoubtedly the strongest party in th'
States-~stS66Sest in npmbers and stronges
il devotion to the Union. and yet are yer,
cody asked to break up our Organization
and leave the men we have assisted int
power without party to sustain them =
In MY opinion it ought not to be DONE
The leaders in this new Union Organization
have heretofore opposed the Administrs
tion and done all they could to defeat it
election, and we ought not therefore trans
fer our allegiance to them- No. Thos
who at heart wish to support the govern
ment through, this trying period. sbouI,
not hesitate to unite with the Administra
tion party.--the real friends Of the govern
ment. There is now no slavery issue be
fore the people and in my opinion ther
never will be again. for at The lass slectio
it was fully disposed Of by the peoples
there can be no prejudiccs on that score
We win stand up in defence Of our gov
ernment and its flag. and no friend Of th
Union need scruple to unite with as. b
is not an easy thing to build up . part
organization. and now that we have on
and firm one 1 am in favor Of sustainin
it. How far l am right will be seen in ii
future. rcd fsfi acb su9 sleasssim =
The crops bids FAIR for an abundance th
season and business is lively since goo
weather set in. As to the mines I am nc
posted. bat think they are yielding as we
as usual. isrsoea sfr 80 T.J. 8.
