DEMOCRATs AND EEPUBLIcaNs.

| The Nevada Journal SAYS VIC counsel our
fellow Democrats how they can defeat the
Republicans, and adds:
WHY defeat the Republicans? It is agreed
| that to ensure an early settlement of existing
difficulties it is the duty of all men who are
devoted to the Union to stand by the Admins
tration in its efforts to preserve it."
We do stand by the Administration in its
efforts to preserve the Union, but how can
the strongest support be concentrated? I?
Upon the Chicago. platform No. Then the
| organization that is identified with the
Chicago platform does not, in our humble
opinion, occupy the strongest Union po-
Sition. We know that the Republicans
generally are true to their country, and we
do not believe that they would regard a
Union victory as a defeat, even though
their party platform, in common with 9TH
er party contriyances should be buried in
the fight. We headed paragraph g How
to defeat the Republicans" in order to an
swer an interrogatory often propSunded by
Union loving Secessionists We believe
that the Democratic Union party will enter
the campaign with good Union candidates,
and with sound Union sentiments inscribed
on its banners. We will train in none but
loyal company, come what may.-Warys-

We understood the article in the Demo-
crat to which we replied, to advocate
straight up and down Douglas Democratic
organization, and to favor an issue with
the Republicans. Now, we have evidence
of the most tangible kind that leads us to
ho1i u
party ticket can carry the State. At any
rate lcs beliere they can do it. But in the
present state of National affairs we believe
it to be essential for all patriots to come
together and present united front to the
enemy. The secessiousts will be embold.
ened by dissensons in the Union ranks
We would give them no cause for hope.
For this reason, though feeling perfectly
confident that The Republicans can carry
the State on straight party issue, we pro-
pose the magnanimous, patriotic step of
ignoring the Chicago Platform, the Doug
las Platform or any other but a Union plat
form for the present, and recognize all
Union patriots as brothers entitled to equal
political preferment The rights of prop
erty in Territories is dead question till
the troubles of the country are over. We
need not trouble ourselves about that
question, till that other great and momen-
tous one which engrosses every American
heart is decided. Why should band of
brothers in good cause contend Tor an alb
:traction? Let us act together for our
cOuntry's good We want no Republican
or Democratic parties. The only distinc-
ton we ask is Patriots and Traitors.
INTERESTING TO BEE KEEPERs.-We lately
had an interesting visit from Mr.. Curran,
who has an apiary at Rough & Ready, (his
advertisement is IN another column.) Mr..
Curran is the agent OF Bgelow, of Sacra-
mento, who has successfully imported and
raised the Italian Bee in this State At the
apiary in Rough Ready may be seen the
Italian or Lombardy Bee in the full tide of
successful operation. 1t is a stronger bee
than the common black one, swarms earli-
or and does a great deal more work. The
bee is of golden color larger than the
black one, and is thought via succeed ad-
mirably in this climate. So far they have
surpassed expectations. In Sacramento,
the Italian hives thr)wed cut colonies be-
fore the common bee this Spring. and an
examination of their hives showed they
were more successful in gathering honey.
The Italian Bee is more docife than the
common, yet when imposed on is reputed
to be more courageous and vindictive. For
many reasons it is likely to supercede the
old sort in this State.
The bee, besides its excellent qualities as
a maker of sweets, is rather ornamental!
and thus commends itself the more to those
who like to see the useful and beautiful
combined. Persons wishing 10 purchase
are directed 70 Mr.. Curran, who Will fur
nish excellent stock and deliver the bees
en- the ground if desired tauS leaving the
purchaser to Incur no risk
