Invigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, com
bined with a Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one of our venera-
bic and eminent physicians during
practice Of thirty years, in the latter
part Of which he used those Bite,
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment of internal diseases and
for purifying the blood. Z:
They stimulate and regulate the
functions of digestion; impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen
the system, and are unequalled as
purifier of the blood. By continuing
the use ofa wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for a
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment of sound body and mind
will soon be attained
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they viii gradually re-
move every trace Of eruption OF in
Hammation from the face or body as
they progress in the publication of the
blood.
Viewing them simply as bever-
age, they equal in richness and deli
cacy Of flavor the finer grades of
choice Champagne Wines-the bit
ter principle heing only perceptible
when felt in the good work of purify
ing and invigorating.
For the use of old and young ofI
both sexes they are admirably adap-
ed, being grateful to the taste; of an

Attitude of the PeaccabIc Secessionists
in this State.

The following is the concluding portion of
vigorous editorial in the last number of the
Shasta Courier:
Now what is the attitude of the leaders of
this party in this State? Dare they avow
their treason openly and bury the National
Flag, and in lis stead raise the Bear, Cactus
or RatuesnakeH Notthey. Like Mr. Burch
and others, they veil their treason under the
specious name of Anti-Cocrcion, Neutrality,
DC, and deprccato that the loyal people of
California should assist the Government in
putting down rebellion. Aery patriotic, in
deed! Examine their twisting, and turning,
and shifting for the last four or five months,
in the Legislature and out of it. Botts-yes,
hf Mr. Bolts of the defunct standard, who
aspired to be "loader and not a follower of
the multitude, this immaculate and "irre-
Vro-sible' gentleman tried his hand at n pam
phlet, iustiying the right of secession, and
flooded the state with its reasonable doc
hine, but it would not do. Next we find
Bcrjamin Franklin Washington, encouraging
the jtuid and the wavering, and actually ac-
knowlodging the "Southern Coufederacv"
Then follows the address of the State Central
Committee presided over 10y Charles I-indey
and remarkable Gs this document was it fail
tJto create any enthusiasm among the masses
lalling IN this, they try another dodge in or
der TO decoy the people Of California into
treason, and tits the "test' that they have
adopted to be used in their primary meet
iuss, viz; care you in favor ofpeace and the
Cnucnden Compromise?' Nearly all men
are in favor of peace, and this bait, adroitly
tlrown out to catch the unregecting, is the
richest piece Of this political farce. Military
men have always advocated the proprety of
gOuut,priufr a Ihp s1IDuISfs hold
that the Government should disband all its
troops, apologize to the rebels and surrender
TO them all the remaining forts, arsenals, de.
II this is not what the revolutonists of the
Burch stripe mean, we are at loss to guess.
The attempt Of King Canute to stop the tide
with pitehforl was just as sensible and sa-
gacious as the generous offer OF the Critten-
den Compromise to the people Of California
TO heal the national difficulties

ADVENTURES or A VELVET DREss.-Fomale
extravaganza, in France is not, after all, SO
great as we have been led to believe, if an
epinion may be formed from the adventures
Of velvet dress, incidentally recounted in
the course Of a recent lawsuit before one Of
the Paris tribunals. The dress in question
was originally made for duchess, who dies
tined it for court usage. The materials-22
yards of silk velvet, at SIG per yard-cost

receptions, the duchess gave the dress to her

To the American People.
by RAYARD TAYLOR.

That late, in halfdespair, said
"The Nations ancient life is dead
Her arm is weak, her blood is cold;
She hugs the peace that gives her gold
The shameful peace, that sees expire
Each bcacon-light of patriot fire,
Aud makes her court a traitors dem
Forgive me this, my countrymen!
Oh, in your long forbearance grand,
Slow to suspect the treason planned,
Enduring wrong, yet hoping good
For sake of oden brotherhood,
How grander, how sublimer far
At the reused Eagles call We are,
Leaping from slumber TO the fight
For Freedom and for Chartered Right
Throughout the land there goes a cry
A sudden splendor fills the sky:
From every hill the banners burst,
Like buds by April breezes hurst
In every hamlet, home, and mart
The fire-beat ola single heart
Keeps time to strains whose pulses mix
Our blood with that of Seventy-SiX
That shot whereby the old flag fell
From Sumter's battered citadel,
Struck down the lines of party creed
And made ye One in soul and deed
One mighty People, stern and strong
To crush the consummated wrong;
Indignant with the wrath whose rod
Smtes as the awful sword of God
The cup is full They thought ye blind:
The props of State they undermined
Abused your trust, your strength defied,
And stained the Nations name of pride.
Now lift to Heaven your loyal brows,
Swear once again your fathers VOWS,
And cut through traitor hearts track
To nobler fame and freedom back!
Draw forth your million blades as one:
Complete the battle then begun
God fights with ye, and overhead
Floats the dear banner of your dead.
They, and the glories of the Past,
The Future, dawning dim and vast
And all the holiest hopes of Man,
Are beaming triumph in your van!
Slow to resolve, be swift to do
Teach We the False how fight the True!
How bucklered Perfdy shall feel
In her black heart the Patriots STEEL
How sure the bolt that Justice wings;
How weak the arm traitor brings;
How mighty they, who steadfast stand
For Freedoms Flag and Freadoms Land

OUTsPoKEN SECEssIoNIsTs.-T County
Conventions OF the Breckinridgers in Tuol-
umne and Sacramento counties, adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolged, That we are emphatically and un.
equivocaly opposed to any and all attempts
on the part of the General Government to
coerce the people of the South into obedience
and submission to the Federal authority.
Rcsoiped, That we adhere unaltera bly to the
great fundamental principles of Democratic
Government, as declared in the Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions of 1898 and 1893, and
believe them to be the basis upon which the
Union was formed, and can alone be main
tanned and rerpetuatcd.
ReSolced, That ten millions of freemen
fighting for their homes and their firesides
can neither be conquered, subiugated nor
eXterminated by any power on the face of
the earth.
Rcgoiccd, That peaceful separation of the
North and South is far preferable to a long
and disastrous civil war, which must end
finally in the recognition Of the independence
Of the Southern Confederacy.
Hc&oiccd, That the American Union can
never be maintained on the principles Of the
Chicago platform and that we view with
distrust and disgust the hypoclitical clamors
of the Black Republicans for the Union they
have destroyed.
RcsoIOed, That President Lincoln has trans
cended his authority, and violated the Con-
stitution of the United States, in calling out
and cnlisting large bodies o. troops for a
term of years, without being authorized so
to do by Congress.
Mr. Gillis-I believe these resolutions will
meet with the appreciation of every member
of this Couy ention, and l therefore move
their adoption, and ask for the roll to be
called.
The roll was called, upon which J. s. Gray
said-I do not wish to vote.
The resolutions were adopted unanimously
amid applause.
Judge Bolts, the author of the celebrated
Secession pamphlet issued last winter pres
dec. over the Convention. lie makes no pre-
tensions to being a Union man. He was
chosen a delegate to the State Convention.
