/" A DespOtism Threatened"

SLIGHTLY ALTERED FROM CALIFORNIA EXPRESS.
We are reliably Informed that two dumb
Secessonists remarked, few days since in
the presence Of several deaf persons, that it
was their settled determination to prevent
the Inauguration of John Conness, if he
should be elected Governor; and that this
would be done at the point of the bayonet
if necessary We do not pretend to givethe
exact language used, but this is the substance
ls it true that this is the settled purpose o
the Dixie party? We can scarcely credit it
and yet the source from which it emanateC
forbids our treating the matter with levity
| Here we have the assurance that the Seces-
sionists will not submit to the inauguration
of a Democrat, who is duly and constitutions
ally elected, and has received the endorse
ment of the people as their choice for Gov
ernor. Yet these hypocrites, who have
innamed the passions of the people of the
South, and made them believe that they had
"A right TO rebel against a constitutionaliy
elected President, turn around and toll Us
that they are determined to follow the ex-
ample of the South, if the election does not
result in their favor. The Secessionists have
already manifested, in an unmstakable man
ner, their contempt for the Constitution and
laws, and hence we need not be surprised at
anything they do. They have determined
to drench this State in blood, if the people
do not bow their necks to the yoke they have
prepared for them. 1t may be true as as
serted that they are determined to prevent
Conness' Inauguration, if elected, at the point
of the bayonet, but we very much mistake
the people of California. if they will be de-
tered by threats, from the free and untram-
meled elective franchise. The Secessionists
may threaten a military despotsm, and they
may have the disposition to establish one
over this people, but we very much doubt if
the people of this coast are prepared for one
They know the only way in which this can
be avoided, is to elect men who are opposed
their influence to bring that worthy to his
senses They see the condition of poor, de-
graded Virginia, now writhing beneath the
tread Of contending armies, and the bare
threat that they intend to overturn our own
State Government, should suffice to arouse
the people to a sense OF their danger. We
suppose if Mr. Conness should be prev ented
by force from being our Governor after he is
elected, they will foist John II. Mcconnell
upon us in spite of the popular will, and this,
too, at the point of Confederate bayonets.
Or they may select general Twiggs to rule
over us.
Remember, people of California, with
whom you have to contend, and at the ensu-
ing election save yourselves from the clutches
of these despots by elocting Mr.. Conness the
only true true friend of popular liberty and
of the Union now before you for your suf-
frages for Governor Arouse yourselves and
carry him into the Gubernatorial Chair, bv
such an overwhelming expression of popular
will as will effectually put an end to the
threatened despotism Rembemer, your lib
critics are at stake

A QUESTION OF ORGANIZATION Two or
three Years ago those who now lead the Sc
cession party of this State were very tena-
nious about Organization. They thought
principle ought to be sacrificed little, rather
than that Democrat should leave the Or

organization of the Union itself Was the

large number of recruits for the Over

Some of the volunteers held meeting this
morning, and appointed a committee to wait
on Gen. Sumner and ascertain if the compa-
nies now being raised would be accepted
sumner replied that he could give no answer
until the Governor issued his proclamation
a great deal Of indignation was expressed at
the tardiness Of the Governor Many of the
volunteers are here from the interior. and
waiting here under heavy expense. They
threaten to disband unless the Governor acts
soon. The companies already formed have
CHOSEN their officers, and should the Cover

DAVIS GIVES THE BORDER STATES BENEFiT.
The following is an extract from the mes
sage of jeff Davis to the Confederate Con-
gress, upon the opening of its session at Rich
mond on the goth of last month:
"The forces hitherto raised have proved
ample for the defense of the seven States
which originally organized the Confederacy,
with the exception of those fortified islands
whose defense is sufficiently aided hy pre-
ponderatng naval force The eUemy has
been driven completely out of those State,
and now, at the expiration Of nine months
from the formation OF the Government not
single hostile foot presses their soil The
force, however, must necessarily prove made
quate to repel the invasion of half million
men now proposed to be raised by our enc
mics"
"The seven States are all right. Never
mind Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, or Mis-
souri, Not a single hostile foot presses the
soil of Cottondom. Poor old Virginia has
received most of the benefits thus far. 1t
was rather uukind, however of Davis to al
lude to the fact at Richmond, the Capital of
the blood.staind Old Dominion
For CoNGREss have heard the name
of John A. McQuali, Esq, Of Marysville,
mentioned in connection with this Office.
Under the new apporionthent California is
entitled to three Congressman. But as the
Democratic Convention nominated but two,
it will be the duty of the Central Committee
to fill this vacancy; we would therefore re-
specially recommend Mr. McQuaid to this
body as a suitable candidate for Congress.
He is n young man of fine business qualifca-
tions, serupulously strict in his attention to
business, and a fluent speaker. As his nomi-
nation would represent the northern and
mining portion of the State, it could not but
be popular with the party, and add material
strength to the ticket. We make this an
nouncement, having the success of our ticket
at heart. without the authority OF Mr. Me-
Quaid, knowing his modesty would prevent
him ever urging his own claims.-Hnighfe

The NATIONAL SECEssIoNIsTs.-The Seces-

| selves National Democrats, while they are
laboring to show that ours is not n National
Government. but merely loose treaty be-
tween petty States, which are each sovereign
When they do convince Union men that Ma
tonalism consists in denying that we are
nation and when we find that every man
must obey the commands of "his State" we
shall then need to be instructed in the matter
of State allegiance Which of the States for
instance must John r. Mcconnell obey
Kentucky where be once lived, or California
in which he is trying to be elected to the
Chief Magistracy2 Has California any State
sovereignty, or must her people leave, in a
body and return to the States from which
they emigrated? 3? States Rights, as construed
by Mcconnell, look very like a scheme to re-
store California to Mexican rule, by the with
drawing of all Americans in order that they
may go with their respective States.

been Jealous Breckinridge man, has found
himself unahle 10 travel with the Bolts party
upon the Heydenfeldt platform. He has vo-
ted with them IN times past, but finds them
now on one side of Bull Run, and himself on
the other. lie has therefore boldly come
cut from among those who have hitherto
pretended to be Democrats, while they were
as they now freely confess, Secessionsts Of
the blacklist hue. Judging from the synop-
sis of Mr.. Smiths speech, as given by our
correspondent, ii must have been an effective
one. Is there 10 good Union man here, ,who
having acted heretofore with traitors in dis
guise, now hesitates about leaving them

there is, let him speak. No Union man can
conscientiously vote with and for men, who
rejoice over the result Of the battle at Bull
