measure, upon the course which will be
pursued by that body, and upon the
manner In which tho minimum Of COM
promise, or of msndments to the oon-
stitution, which 1t may propose, shall be
received north of the Potomac, ana In the ex-
treme South. The Union feeling in the border
States is tempered by the firm resolve to yield
nothing whatever to Northern aggression
while 1t shrinks from entertaining propositions
of an unnecessarily irritating character from
the Confederate States. It will be, therefore,
q safe nucleus, around which all can rally who
desire reconstruction of the confederacy,
upon firm and solid basis. The conserve
tive masses of the North, and the paralyzed
Union majority in the seeding States, can
look forward to its action with equal respect
Old party lines have become obliterated by
the alarming crisis towards which the country
has been hurrying, and, In future elections,
past issues should be forgotten, and the para
mount question in the mind Of every good cit-
zen should be, whether the Union shall utterly
perish, or whether its disintegrated parts shall
be reunited. Connecticut and Rhode Island
will elect members Of Congress, in the course
Of next month. That an immense reaction
against abolitionist treason, will be found to
have taken place in both Of those States, there
is no doubt, and If proper means shall have
been taken to enlighten the popular mind, pa
triotic feeling will prevail, and proper candi-
dates will be elected. No opportunity should
be lost of convincing the people Of the border
States that they do not stand alone in their
strife against faction; but that the bone and
sinew Of the North will uphold and sustain
them. ThiS is true Of the central Estates, and
even in New England, self-interest is driving
the people from their stronghold Of fanaticism
and selfshness.
The external prospect before the nation Is
dreary and cherries in the extreme Corrupt
leaders are using their power to hurry the
country into civil war, and to overthrow its
prosperity; but out Of the action of the Union
majority In the border and central States, and
the sober second thought Of the extreme South,
there is still glimmer Of hope that salvation
may grow up for the republic, and its broken
strength be once more reunited.

CALIFORNIA ~ A New AspEcr.-Recent intel
past six weeks the American clipper ships Web

the famous ship Great Republic were loading
wheat and -four at San Francisco for England;
and the clippers Dashing Wave, Ocean Tele-

goes for New York. 1t is but few years since
California derived her supply of breadstuffs
from this section of the country; but all at
once, as If by magic, we learn that she is able,
not only to supply her home demand with ce-
n al products, but her thrifty merchants and
farmers are doing o brisk trade with Europe
nd the Eastern States. California enjoys su-
.rrior advantages as grain growing country,
having soil of great fertility, with rich table
lands well irrigated from the mountainous re-
eione. Another source of wealth, which has al
ready assumed magnificent proportions, is the
grape culture. Last year the revenue from
the wine produced from this luscious fruit in
California was enumerated by hundreds of
thousands of dollars; since that time new vine
yards have been laid out, and the yield for the
present year promises to be immense. What
with the rich mineral and agricultural wealth
of our III Dorado, and the superior advantages
and central position in the Pacific of her chief
city-San Francisco--wIth the untold Oriental
wealth Of China and Japan, she is destined TO
occupy proud position among the CONNER
cial places Of the world.

THE New ENGLAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
REVOLUTION AT THU BALLOT Box.-The Con-
necticut election takes place on Monday next,
snd the election in Rhode Island on Wednes
cay. 1t is confidently stated that great
change has come over the spirit of the peoples
dream in those two States. The sober second
thought has produced a reaction against revo.
Iutionary republicanism; the loss of trade, the
want of employment, the continually increasing
poverty and distress, are, it is believed, doing
heir work. To what extent change has been
wrought remains to be seen. We hope it will
turn out that the people of Connecticut and
Rhode Island have inaugurated q revolution
which will be revealed at the ballot box on the
lst and Sd of April. Let them begin peace
full revolution at the North, and the Union men
will achieve peaceful revolution in the
southern States-not bloody revolution, such
~ the republican journals are stirring up in
the case of Texas The interests Of Connectl-
cut and Rhode Island lie with the Southern
States; they are the best consumers of their
manufactures, and their shipping trade with
Southern ports is not to be despised. The
new tariff at the South will admit foreign
goods to the total exclusion of New England
manufactures. The Northwest will be sup
piled with these goods duty free, and even
the Middle States-Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York. Ruin to New England manu-
lectures is the inevitable result unless revo-
luton takes place at the polls which will lay
the foundation on which the Union men in ths
South can work for similar revolution at the
south, and a reconstruction Of the Union on q
basis of compromise and concession.

which was unanimously adopted:
Resolsed, That the Democrats of
Mitchell County are unanimously op-
posed to Abolitionism and Secession
ism. They look upon the first rs the
direct progenitcr of the latter, and be-
lievs that in denouncing it, they strike
at the cancer upon the body polite.
They declare themselves to be the firm
supporters of . Union as our Fathers
formed it-ofa a Union held together by
consent, and not by force of strictly
construed and jealously guarded Con-
stitution. They believe in the utmost
freedom of speech and Of the press ad-
hitting no censor of the one, nor custo-
dian Of the other; ro limit except such
as is defined by law and construed by
the judiciary. They believe that all
opposition to the laws Of the land is sub
versive of government, and should be
put down; but at all times; in war as
well as in peace, they hold the Consti-
tuition Of their country above them
as protecting agis under which every
right can be defended and every viola
ton Of law punished.
Resolved, That the platform Of "the
Union, the Constitution and tho en-
forcement Of the laws" is broad enough
for every man to stand upon; hence, we
adopt it as our OVID.

refereRceto the demand of England for the restitu

power that they regard as having
an equal chance with themselves. Every
one must have observed the alteration of
the tone in which the affair of Mason and SuDEIL
il discussed by the northern Press, since the arr-
val of the Queens courier. They now say, if
they are right according to public law they will
maintain the right, but they must look closely into
the law, and if they fad themselves to be wrong,
they must make repatriation and amends,
Thus we see the courage of the Y snk which

/, GEN. PrIce...Gen. nIarshaII, :


The enemy have learned the value of the services
of Gen, PR1cg to our cause, by the delays he has
caused in their movements and in the Illustration
of their plans. There is doubt that he has postN
poned the advance of their grand expedition down
the Mississippi at least one month"; e he has not
crippled it that it must prove an abortion.
1t is probable that the advance of Gen. HUNPHREY
MARSHALL into Eastern Kentucky, and of
General ZoLuCoFFER on the upper Cumberland
has caused similar diversion of Gen. BUELL's
forces, and has thus foiled his well known design
of marching upon Nashville as soon as he sntici-
pated. Some of the Lncolnites offered bets, it has
been said that they would eat their Christmas din
ner inOur city, and they are now but little nearer
to it than they were month ago.
We think it would be safe to bet any sum that
it be as q spy. native traitor or prisoBer. OF
all these classes we believe there are but few.
1t is much more probable that our armies will
take their dinners in Louisvlle at early peril
cd, when the forces of MARSHALL, ZoLuCoFFER and
HARDEE shall concentrate upon the army of BUELL.
and drive his Hessisns across the Ohio river.
The same may be true of PRICE and Polk, with
regard to St. Louis. The annexed paragraph fur
nishes an example of what Gen, PMCE's energy has
done:
letter, dated Cairo, Nov, 20 th published in the
Cincinnati Commercial, says
The forward movements of Price in Missouri in~
dicsue clearly their strategy, the which so far
has been so successfully carried out. The strategy
is to keep the army of the Mississippi or at least
the main portion of them, actively employed in
Missouri running after Price and his subordinate
generals. This prevents them from descending the
Mississippi and carrying the into Africa at the
same time giving the rebels of Tennessee Arkansas,
Mississippi, and Louisiana, that all important ni-
tary sdvantsg They want tine to fortify,
to cast cannOn, to raise money 10 concentrate their
forces and also to discipline them all of which they
are gaining by those diversions of Gen. Price 1t
may be safely said that Gen. Prizes has dons far
more for the Southwestern rebel cause than all
their other penprals combined
