do this in order to "achieve office" and that
they have ''steadfastly refused all offers OF

The Dougias party has a State Central Com
mttee composed of gentlemen. They met. as
it was their duty to do, and swept the party
creed out of the way by inviting all. of what
ever party, who could subscribe to the sound
Union resolutions, to join together in electiug
delegates to q State Convention. No dead
issue was kept up then; no dead issue is kept
up now. If it is dishonorabe to aspire to
political stations of honor and profit, then
the editor of the Times is acting very dis

cannot be misconslrued into partizanship, for

with his timely aid and voice. the Presidents
proclamation for troops This did not save
his name from insult in the State Convention
which nominated the Times editor for fat
office. The friends of Douglas in California
were denouncng treason during all the time
that greedy cormorants from California and
other States were making Washington

and spoils. The friends of Douglas are still
denouncing treason and traitors while high
Republican officials and disappointed beg

man in the State believe that he can only be
a Union man and a patriot, by supporting
candidates put before the people by Rabe
and Rankin, through the forms and agency

good and true men of our own choice men,
too, who will support the Government in this
war; Congressman who will vote millions
for supplies, and fight for the country during
the recess men who will act as becomes true
patriots, and friends of Stephen A. Douglas
and David c. Broderick Meanwhile, the
Republican chieftains may stuff, cram and
gorge themselves with the conte ents Of the
flesh pots, in porfect safety; for the mercena-
ry Douglas men will see to it that the peace
is kept in the State, and that the State is
kept in the Union. Rabe and Rankin, and
Snyder and Mclean, and Cheesman and Zane,
together with "all other patriotic eilizens''
who support the Union for the sake of this
Administration, shall MUNICH their provender,

Pacific Republic gentlemen thought to reside
among US. The "hacks" and their friends
will see to this and will survive all the con-
tempt that may be entertained for them bv
the San Francisco Times.
