John Conness at Sacramento.
Our next Governor spoke to an immense
audience at Sacramento on Saturday evening.
Three car loads of Union mn from Folsom
were in Attendance. Here are f.w extracts
from his speech
luE pGacE uNIoN NGN ARE Nor TROUBLED WHEN
TIE FLAG Is u-vLrlD.
We are sometimes told by those men coH.-
posing what is now properly dcnominated a
secession party in California, that they are
only orio-gd to the war; that they believe
the exercise of force by the Government will
not preserve the unity of the States that no
good can result from It's exercise and that
they dcp.orc war; because war will nece,sa-
ily result in disun;on, and therefore they
c.amor for peace. They array their facts and
figures, and circulate them throughout the
state, appealing to the interests of the people,
To those who desire to escape taxation, always
the price Of war, and always too, the price
of maiutuiuir e liberty Willie thus ias,di-
ou-iy oppcaingto thc people, they at the
same time profess an ardent love for the
tuion but 1t is significant and damuing
fact against that party that you never hear
from them, individually or collectively one
single word deprecatug the outraged dignity
of our Government, when accidentally or IN
cdentally its loved and honorel banner has
been trailed in the dust Fry them 10y that
tsaudarl and they stand convicted as base
ingrate5 to their country, convicted as the
cucmj>s O: this Government, for no friend Of
that flag, the flag Of our Union, can stand hy
aud hear it spoken against mach less see 1t
degraded and diswaccd without manife-tu4
his !eprobat.on and scorn Lappause and ut
toriug his deuunciltion OF those engaged in
the foul work. Yet we have among is L
party nptoriousy composed Of slch c.e-
meats.
No CHANCE FOR M'CoNNLAl
tell You, as the resul. Of a somewhat oX-
tended observation throughout this state,
that that party is no more likely to elect their
Governor than your honored Chairman,
whose name has never been mentioned in
that connection, is likely to be chosen Gov
eruor on Wednesday next. Applause Let
no iuan, therefore. be imposed upon or per-
nit his suffrage to be affected 10y this meer-
able cry, resorted to only for partisan pur-
poses and partisan advantage | tell you
that the masses of the people of California
are sound to the core on this Union question,
and in no condition of affairs under no class
of circumstances can John Il. Mcconnell and
his party exceed % GOO votes on election
day. Applause The question il raised, in
view of this supposed danger, whether the
Union men of California ought not to con-
centrate upon a single candidute s-y TO
YOU here tonight, if thought there was the
slightest danger OF the election of the Seces-
sion candidate |, for one, would not stand

WILL "Go FOR SOLDIER WITH STANFORD.
If my other opponent and his party be as
sincere as they profess if they have really
ascertained that there is danger OF NcCcu-
nell's election, will here Tonight submit to
them and to him proposition. Ne are near
the election but there is time enough yet &c
carry it out. Let the Committees of the tive
parties get together or let an uuquestionabl,
body OF citizens take the matter in hand, and
II Leland Stanford will join, we will both Of
us withdraw from this canvass both agree
ing, however-for this is the condition prece-
dent that we shall both enlist and form d
part of the troops to be raised under the lat,
requisition upon our State. GApplause /
he will do this, | will agree here. to-nirh, +,
retire with him; three cheers for Comes
but only upon the special condition that h,
shall not substitute anybody for himself, bu
shall stand side 10y side with me- an
ready to prove to the people of this Stat,
that | would sooner he soldier where j
necessary, than an office holder. Applause
TIE rEAcENAKERs WANT so PEACE.
These men were now proclaimng that the,
were in favor of peace. Why did it not uc
cur to some of these Secession statesmen t,
mark out some practical scheme of peace
How were we to have peace Was great

rights of any State or any individual, to z,

iime!" Applause. should not rather rebel
lion first ground its arms and ask for peac
and compromise, if they want it, in prope
spirit Of obedience? They knew that tn
anarchists and iibuslers who inaugurate(
this war did not want peace, except by th
dismemberment of the Union and the sub
version of the General Government. ZAP
