Gwen, the time is rapidly approaching
when party lines will again lie dr. wn, and
the issue will be between the friends Of peare
and compromise to save the Union, and the
uar party
If the head Of the Republican party Mr.
Lincoln, is for peace, and all his convenient
followers are for peace also, "pcoce men, as
the Express terms them, We desire to know
how .he issue is TO be "between the f lends
Of peace and the "war party (the friends Of
peace" meaning the party to N hjch the EX-
press belongs unless The Republicans aud
Breckiulidgers are allied agains' some purity
to lie formed under The leadership Of Andy
johnson, of Tennessee or some other Cocr-
zionist of similar caibre
But, the Express precudes the idea that
there is to he an alliance between the Breck-
inridgers and Republicans, by the following
observation:
"Ihe I attic will he fought between the
Democracy and the Hep"blica,1S, and the lit
tie band viii be ground to dust between the
upper and neither mill stones"
If The Republicans are in favor of peace,
and Lincoln is no Jackson no war man at all,
how are you going to get up your nice little
issue Of II peace party against a 'ear party, in
any such way as to makeit contest letwern
the Democracy q, as you call it, and the Re
publcaus?
We confess your logic is little ahead ofo-.
The truth is any such issue as peace
party" against coercion party" will never
cutter into any political campaign in this
State; because the question involving that
Issue VilI be settled, in one way or another,
in briefperiod But there may be an issue
between the friends of the Union and the aa-
vocatcs OF Diaunion. Reduced to its iocol
significance in California; it would be AN
issue between the adherents of the Federal
Governmental Washington and the ad, ocates
Of a Pacific Republic.
Let the people prepare for this issue, for
there viii be 10 other.
The Augusta Georgia Chronicle of Jan

governments in America 1t gives IL mot

and success Of constitutional monarchy il

the miserable condition Of Mexico. Bueuo,

by the lessons OF experience Our own re-

And he answers 10y saying that, as to the
present generation, 1T seems their only re-
sort must be a constitutional monarchy
There is the point They break up the no.

ernmenAs indeed failure as they interpret
it, but they interpret to destroy, and tring
masses of men to believe an Interpretation
which was never sarctioned 10y the founders
Of the Constitution. They define our Federal
Constitution, with a lying Interpretation and
construction, TO be mere rope of sand, in
order that they may break the Union asun-
der, but 90 soon as their work is done, they
cay that there is no stability in any other
form of government but monarchica Is
not the hypocrisy of such men apparent, and
are not their followers born as they are in
a free land ard blessed with the inestmahe
privileges of Ii erty-asses to track after
them We certainly think SO.
See what Republican Government amounts
to in Mexico and in Buonos Ayrcs, they say !;
let us have constitutional monarchy such MS
that Of Brazil and Canada. Canada is free
and Brazil is saveholding state, or empire
but the nonarchicdI form of government is
what they rely on Brazil is certainly "A
pretty well established kingdom. and occu-
pies nearly one halfof the continent of South
America, but its glory and prosperity are not
to be compared Except in the estimation Of
Southern monarchsts) to the strength and
power and grandeur of the united American

The advocates Of monarchy may well "a

They are opposed to all Republican Govern
