MEETING OF THE BRECKINRIDGE COMMIT
TEE.-Judge Liodley, the Chairman Of the
Breckenridge State Committee, has called a
meeting of that body for the 10th of March.
The object of the meeting, he says, is to con-
slider the present crisis in our national af-
fairs, and to fix the time for calling Con-
ventiOn. From the wording of the call, il
would appear that Mr.. Lindley is opposed
10 the fusion movement lately started by
members of his party in the Legislature.
He says the Convention which appointed
the Committee received from each "a pledge
not TO do the very thing which the recent
Breckenridge -Denver.Nugent caucus re-
quests Us to do, thus impiedly reserving to
future conventions the question of amalga-
nation of parties, and the adoption Of plat
FORMS" He adds:
Let us have Union If we can; Peaceable dis
solution If we must, but conflict, never.
If a peaceable dissolution comes, why should
not California remain with the free Statesi
If a bloody separation, why should she not
establish Pacific Nationality
Is she willing to be dragged into war against
a Southern Confederation of her sisters, should
such Confederation be irrevocably established?
Ought not she to demand of the other Free
States to consent to peaceable separation (if
any must Gomez as an unyielding condition of
her remaining with themi
Does notlI.ineoln's foreshadowed policy of ex-
ecuting the laws over seceeded States imply
force, coercion, war3
Are our people ready to be plunged into an
archy, and suffer the ravages of such wara
These are the momentOus questions to be
considered, and which, it is feared, will too soon
require action. Therefore, full meeting of the
Committee is requested.
