The Appeal off OF the Track.

On fnday lhe Appeal recommended chat
al political elements in the ranks Of the
Union Clubs shall be alike consulted ia the
affairs of the same" The same paper, in its
issue of yesterday, favors joint call "by the
three, or two, leading Committees, addressed
TO the Union Clubs, which are now estab-
lished throughout the State, and are COM
posed of men of all parties" for the purpose
of assembling Union State Convention OF
delegates from the Clubs The Appeal APP
pears TO rs TO have departed yesterday from
the rule it laid down the day before. One
Committee has already called a Union State
Convention, and no other has taken any such
action. The unconditional UnioDEmen of the
State. Of all parties, have been invited to
send delegates to the Fourth of July Conyen.
ton. fany effort is to be made to obtain
the influence Of the Union Clubs Of the State
in behalf of any Convention independent of
that, by means Of a call from any Committee
or Committees, we shall first discountenance
then feel at liberty to favor an endorsement
ly the Clubs, Of the patriotic and anti-parti-
san course pursued by the Committee which
has already called an unconditional Union
State Convention 70: the Fourth Of July. TO
recommend any sort of a call upon Union
Clubs for their aid in assembling a Conven-
tion ia.- so our mind equivalent to asking
their opposition TO the Convention already
called They are not supposed to be gov
erned in any manner by party feelings OF
members, and we protest against all efforts
to prejudice them against Union State Con-
vention merely because il was called by a
Committee in which Republicans were not
represented. The Appeal makes no PROPOSE
ton that any one Committee shall call upon
the Union Clubs, but speaks Of a joint call.
This seems fair, and was, we believed, so in
tended but the effort TO make such action
seem necessary, in the face of the fact that
II sound Union Convention call has already
been made, has an appearance of complaining
to The Clubs that some wrong has been done
by our Committee. The only objection which
has been made to the call for the Fourth OF
July Convention, is Of "A purely partisan char.
actcr, and we have heard but few urge it
viz: that no Republicans assisted in framing
the resolution, or selecting the day. None
but politicians ought TO think Of Offering such
an objection, at time like this. The cnll is
to all true Union men, and the test resolu-
tions are devoid of all partisanship and are
as strong as can be written, in defense of the
Union cause.
NORTH AND South The Davis rebels are
constantly declaring that the efforts of the
Government to restore order by the use Of
its strong arm, amount TO war of the North
against the South. This is a cowardly cry
and is intended to enlist good Southern in a
wicked rebellion which they never helped to
inaugurate. Davis and his forces are trem-
bling for fear Of the result Of the war they
have inaugurated, and cry aloud for help
from their peacebe ncighbors; saying owe
Of the South must stand 10y one another ~
Such a mountebank cannot long be sustained
by brave and generous people The sober
second thought will drive him from the place
he now occupies
THE S. f. Herald publishes the official re-
port Of the proceedings of the Secession State
Central Committee. They include the offer
to fuse with the Democratic Committee, and
the rebuff Of the latter, and wind up as fol-
lows:
The object for which the Committee was
convened having been accomplished, on mo-
tion the Committee adjourned without max.
ing any change in the call for Convention
TO meet at Sacramento on the 1th day of
June, determined to maintain the integrity of
the Democratic organization.

Having been accomplished is very droll.
We thought the object was not accomplished
The people will be delighted to learn that the
Secessionists are firmly bent upon running
their rcketty machine during the coming
campaign. 1t will furnish much amusement
during the warm season.
Foil COMMITTEE five were alb
sent out of the forty:two members at the re
cent meeting of our State Central Committee
Sc full an attendance is a rare occurrance
among such bodies.
Why DO WE DIFFER ?-The Express says:
"There is now not a living issue to divide the
party longer" meaning thereby the two par
ties to which that paper and this respectively
adhere. If we agree so well, why does the
Express continually take issue with our
