Coop UNION MAN, HE.-Edmund Randolph
claims with his class to be Union man
still. The party with which he is connected
affect indignation when charged with Sc
cession prociivities. They are the best Un-
ion men in the world Secessionists Not
they. They talk very disgracefully of their
country and its authorities, finding war
rant in the Scripture, and encouragement
so to do in 81 the Lord loveth whom he chas-
tiseth." The love of Randolph must be ex-
ceedingly warm for he isremarkably severe.
He is an honorable man, and for the Union
all the time Listen to the puissant fellow
speech in the Dixie Convention:
For Code sake speed the ball, may the lead 90
quick to hts heart, aad mag country be free
fro~ this despot usurpcr that Claims the name
of Prss,,'eai Of the United States!

SUNDAY LAw.-The new Sunday Law went
into operation yesterday, or rather it will
go into operation on next Sunday, as no
offense can be committed against the law
till that time. We publish the law for the
benefit of sinners:
Section 1. Any person who shall hereafter
keep open on the first day of the week, commonly
called Sunday, any store, workshop, bar, saloon,
banking house or OTHER place of business, for the
purpose of transacting business therein, except
as hereinafter especially provided, shall be guilty
ol misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof
snail be punished by fine of not less than iye
nor more than fifty dollars.
Sec. 2. The provisions of this Act shall not
apply to the keeping open of hotels, boarding
houses, restaurants taverns livery stables, retail
drug stores for the legitimate business of each),
or such manufacturing establishments as are
necessarily kept in continual operation to
complish the business thereof; nor to the sale
of milk, fresh meats, fresh fish and vegetables.
Sec. 3. Prosecution for violation of this Act
may be either by complaint to Magistrate, or
by indictment by a Grand Jury, and all fines
and collections upon convictions under this Act
shall be paid into the common school fund of the
county.
Sec. f. THIS Act shall be in force from and
after the first day of August, 1851.
1t will be seen that the above law does
not prohibit farmer from breaking colts,
hoeing his potatoes, or doing any sort of
manual labor on his farm, or on the road
or elsewhere it does not prevent any but a
few business men from passing the Sabbath
in any manner they choose. In fact, when
we come to look at the law carefully, it will
be seen that it can almost wholly be avoided
by even the few it restricts.

An Answer WASTc.o John r. Mcconnell,
the third party candidate .t"r Governor, in
his celebrated speech III this place, denied
the right of the President, under the ton-
stitution, 10 even call out troops 10 defend
the Capital of the Nation. Such being the
weakness of the Government IN a crisis, ac-
cording to his opinion, we would like for
him to apply his strong analytical powers
to the Constitution and determine if the
next important right of the Government, to
exist at all, can be found in that instrument.
Taking tie construction given by Mcconnell
as premise, we suppose the Government

YuBA COUNTY UNION TIcKEF.-0n the 18th
of July the Union men of all parties assem-
bled in Yuba, to put forth County ticket
that should reflect their ideas of policy in
the present state of the country. The men
selected for Sheriff, District Attorney, Treas
urer, and one member of Assembly, were
heretofore Union Democrats the men for
Recorder, Tax Collector, Assessor, Surveyor
and two members of the Assembly, are Re-
publcans the nominee for County Clerk
was a Bell-Everett man. the others are
either fossil Wings or of unknown politics.
The ticket is indorsed as good one in ev-
cry respect and worthy the suffrages of the
people.
The Republicans of the county met by
delegates on Monday last and in a spirit of
lberaliiy characteristic of them, indorsed
the Union ticket already in the field. As
the Secessionists are counted strong in Yu-
ba, the Republicans, we learn, did not con-
slider it safe to suffer three Union tickets to
run against the Hard Shells, and accord
ingly the nominations of the Union Con-
vention were indorsed.
But mark the difference. The Union
Democracy, who would not seek to gain a
sordid party advantage in times like these
on pain of being considered enemies to
their country see their State Platform) met
on the same day and the result was a
straight ticket. Not man on the Union
ticket was indorsed

ALAS Poor TICKET !-Complaints are
made by our Douglas friends in the editorial
fraternity that their State ticket is most
scandalously vilifed by the Republican and
Independent press. 1t is hard to account
for these complaints unless we admit the
Union Democracy have nominated a very
vulnerable ticket or the editors of the State
are abandoned wretches, or both. We have
read the comments on the ticket, Of all
sorts, and find them about thus: Conness: !:
smart fellow-make a good Governor
bulkhead and libel bill record bad-Yery
bad for his popularity. Irwin clever, social
cuss-not much account-would do if the
Government lived. Edgerton good for
speech or two a session-smart-habit un-
satisfactory-bulkhead and libel bill, ditto.
McKisben +; MISUNDERSTANDING in some
regards-not in others. Whitman good
fellow-but not to be thought of with Nor
ton Bowie; nice old llow-able-loving
-daring-makes a good speech, ct cetera.
Landrum not knovn-habits reputed once
bad. John R. Ridge capital gentleman-a
little tangled in politics just now-means
well.
If these remarks are slanderous the poor
editors of the State would be in bad fix
lust now if the libel bill Of Conness and
Edgerton had become law, and they wanted
it to. Just tn nix of quill torn from the
wing of his family, and hustled off to San

let it be known that VIXEN the necessity

where he resided until his death in Nav. IS47
He married, in 1921, into one of the most in An.

Lieutenant, Mcclellan went out with the sappers
