PEELED to use force to do it. want to know
if that is the sort of coercion to put down
which Virginia would resort to force of

manding a position involving high re-
onsibilities-suppose he should be as
sailed, and should defend himself in po-
sition where he has been placed, and where
he has sworE duty to perform, would
that be regarded as coercion which Virgin

arm? If it is, cannot vote for the reso-
lutions. | am one of those who have

Gov. Dowyrr.s PosII1os.-Tbe sacramen

Gov. DowSEY's PosrrIox. The Sacramento
correspondent Of the Evening Mirror writes un-
der date of the 18th instant as follows:
The Bee of yesterday says: 1--WE heard some
time since that Gov. Downey argues that state
may rightfully and legally withdraw from the
Union at her pleasure, and that the Federal
Government has no authority to prevent her;
but not having full faith in the correctness Of
the report, we have not, until this time consid-
cred it worthy Of fsention."
myself have hectd Governor Downey ar
que the samc way: Whether be really believe.
his own arguments are sound or not, 1 canno,
say, but am convinced that he is after the
Brechinridge vote, if he can get 1t. He is 81
ready sure of the Douglas nomination in GER
tain contingency, and he is now playing to gul
the Breckinridgefs. I think they are littl.
too smart for him though.

A SPAsM.-An attempt was made few
days since by the discordant Democracy in
the Legislature to reunite the party. 1t
proved a failure as might have been expect
ed. To effect union of such inharmoni-
ous clements as exist in the debris of the
old Democratic party is beyond the power
of man. Possibly union might be effect
ed for moment for the purpose of obtain
ing prize, but rupture would be inevi-
table in the very nature of things. He is
IN old fogy, signing for the past, and total
" unmindful of the demand of the present
and the future, who enterta;ns hope of
the reunion of the Democratic forces. The
great issue of the day is union or disunlcn.
A portion of the Democracy will stand by
the nation to the last extremity, and they
are not going to hamper themselves by a
connection with any set of men in favor of
giving aid and comfort 10 traitors. The
Union is paramount to party with every
patriot, and the loyal people of these United
States will recognize no bonds, which re-
stricts their action in any respect, when
she safety of the Union is involved. There
are but two parties now In existence, and
they are Uuion and Disunfon parties, and
TO attempt to make other parties till one
or the other of the contestants is victori
Gus cannot be other than failure.

PRosPEcrs OF A FRUIT CRoP-The warm
sprine weather of the past ten days has
brought the buds on all kinds of stone fruit
Trees forward astonishingly. Peach trees
seem about to burst into flower. Almond
trees are showing signs of leaf. The same
may be said of the Siberian crab tree.
These tokens of early bloom are taken by
our wise ones as indications of destruc-
tion of the fruit crop again by ftosts. Cold
weather soon may save the crop, but few
more fine days and the peach, the apricot
and the nectarine will be in bloom, and
scarcely within the reach of safety.
