A Word of Explanation.

The Appeal classes this paper as one of
those which "posilvely Object" to "Me call
for Union State Convention ignoring party
organizations" We say, in reply, that no
call for such a Convention has been made
that an anonymous circular recommending
such a movement, has been before the public
for nearly two weeks, and that the Appeal
has not agreed to abandon the Republican
organization and unreservedly support the
fatherless affair in question; that we have
declared in plain terms our willingness to
support the Convention which shall. bv lis
action, prove most worthy of the support of
honest Union mon and that we adhere to the
following paragraph published in the Demo-
GRAFT of Tuesday last:
rs we have said all along, we will stand
by the action Of the masses of the true Union
men of this State, but we must first see their
sign-manual."

Enthusiastic Secession Meeting.
Fosters BAR, May 27.

Fosters BAR, May ~
ErToR DEMOCRAT: The Secessionists tried
hard to get up a meeting here last Saturday,
but failed, thanks to the WISDOM and patriot.
ism ofthose who voted the Breckenridge tick
ct last fall At 81 o'clock, the hour named
for the clan to come together, two gentlemen
were seen to pace hurriedly and in an excited
manner, the porch of the FL Dorado Hotel
Fearing that something dreadful was contem-
plated, some Union wag approached and en-
quired the cause of their disturbed "phee-
links" One Of the gents suddenly stopped
and replied II have fought for them, have
spent my time and money for them, and now
they desert me, leaving me to walk up and
down this porch, all alone IN the cold. =
"Who deserted you" enquired the joker
"The Demycratsl the Deny ycrats! and not me
alone, but the cause.-the cause of the good
old ship" This pitful outburst explained the
old mans grief He had it appears busted
himself considerably, posting notices, and
sending word to distant voters to attend the
meeting. Was ita any wonder he should be
out of humor, when only two responded to
the call ard left him, as he said himself, "all
alone in the cold"2
The truth is, nineteen out Of twenty of the
Breckinridge men of this neighborhood are
true Union men, unconditional at that; re
cognizng Mr.. Lincoln as the constitutionally
elected Executive of the Nation. They be-
lieved in the principles of the Breckenridge
party, but when that party endorsed seccs-
sion, and are opposed to giving aid to the
Government to suppress rebellion and insur-
rection, the Breckenridge men of this place
are 10 longer with them. They cannot go
the Lindley test. It's tainted Too strong,
especially for naturazed citizens who have
sworn to defend the Constitution of the
United States OF this class the main por
tion of our population here is made. up, and
to their honor be it said, there is but one who
is not true to his Obligations as adopted
citizens.
Andrew Devir led off in this good and holy
work. When he and his friends left them,
then alas for their strength here. lie was
noble and able advocate of Mr. Brecknridge,
but now says "a man must be for the Union
or against it" there beidg but two sides to
the present unhappy difficulty. If this pre-
cnt is represented in the Secession Conven-
tion at Marysville, it will be by self-elected |
delegates, for there was no meeting held be- !

No DGsPosIrIoN TO REsPoND.-ln letter to
the Union, signed A. A. S. Ca. A. Sargcnt)
written from Nevada, we frd the following:
The call for Union Convention, which
you support, is termed 10y the papers above
named a side Convention, under the control
of wire-pulers. In my Judgment its only
effect can be to put third Union party"
into the field, to still more divide the vote of
Union men, and aid the Secessionists in car
rylng the State. The time is too short for
any general response to the call and there is
not, SO far rs my observation and information
has extended, any disposition on the part of
voters to respond to it.
For the present, at any rate, Republicans
Will remain within their own organization,
attend their own Conventions and unite only
when they are consulted upon the terms of a
coalition. Those who believe that their
power has decreased by success will be unde-
ceived in due time.
The writer is a leading Republican, and
probably has a pretty thorough knowledge
of thc--feeling among his party friends where
he resides There may be events at the East
before September, that will make great
changes, but at present there seems no gener-
al movement towards the dssolving of ex-
listing political organizations.

NILES SEARLEs.-This distinguished gen

me- Republicans would leave the Govern

40 old line Democrat, we beg permission TO
y that we feel certain that the Republic
cans cannot leave the Government in any
worse condition than they found it, unless
hey permit JEFF Davis to clean US out.

REsIGNED.-Dr Guild, of Fort Humboldt,
has resigned his position of Assistant Surgeon

many personal friends. lie returns to the
South for the reason that his home and rea-
tions are there, and his sympathies with the
ssionists-UumbolN Times.
From the number of designations that are
taking place, it would appear that Cotton
dom has been very greatly favored in the
distribution of Federal patronage. Good
citizens have hardly had an equal show with
Seeessionists for some time past.

PEACE RESTORED At WooDBRIDGE.-The

as they did few weeks ago. They do not

the public peace by the earnestness of Union

X. G. C,-The followers of Lindley hold a
convention to-day at the Court House If
only bona fde delegates attend, it will be
"a lonesome affair. We suppose, however,
nat credentials will be presented from nearly
o,l the precincts in the county. The object
.f the convention is TO choose delegates to at
md the Grand Encampment at Sacramento
tune 18th. They will hold another conven-
ion probably, hereafter, for the purpose of
nominating the present county officers for

lenges the patriotism of any Republican who
does not see that the only way of sustaining
theGovernment is by responding to that 9th

the residuary legatee of all the patriotism in

We have challenged the patriotism of those

the San Francisco Times, that, in the coming
campaign, the Chicago platform should be re-
affirmed by their party.
