THE THIRD TIcKET-The ticket of the
third party does not labor under the impu-
tation of being OF the kangaroo order. The
longest legs and the best running qualities
are certainly ahead. The convention began
we'll when it selected Mcconnell to head the
list. Its after nominees are not remarkable
either for superior abilities or popularity
Jasper 0'Farrell was formerly Senator from
Sonoma, Marin and Mendocino, and lives at
Bodega. His nomination for Lieut.. Cover
nor adds no particular strength to the ticket
that we are aware of. The selection was
probably made because he is au lrishman
by birth, in the hope of securing share oi
that vote.
Wallace is pretty fair lawyer, formerly
Attorney General of the State. He is not
inferior to some who have occupied seat:
on the Supreme Bench, but not 20 be men

JOHN r. MCCoNNELL.-Whlle we write
cannon are celebrating the nomination of
John R. Mcconnell for Governor of the
State, by the Breckinridgels.. The nomina-
tion was given him by acelamation We
scarcely know what effect the nomination
will have upon the gubernatorial prospects
ofthose candidates already in the field If,
as is alleged by some, nine-tenths of the
Breckinridgers, in default of a candidate of
their own, would have voted for Stanford in
preference to Conness, then the Republicans
have lost votes by the selection of McCon-
nell by the third party. The nomination of
Mcconnell, according to our view of the
case, will tend to act unfavorably upon the
ticket headed by Conness. The most ultra
of the third party are bound TO vote for
Mcconnell, and his position, if he maintains
it, near the confines of Unionism, will be
quite sure to gather to his support large
body of men who linger between the two
wings of the Democracy, scarcely knowing
with which to unite their destinies. That
hdSAS otS VI bhCSCt 10 oC OHu
The wavering element las shown itself in
conventions, and oft-times among the peo-
pie.
As the third party is intent on obtaining
as many votes as possible, we regard the
nomination of Mcconnell, for this end, the
most polite that could have been made by
the party. We know of no man in the
Breckenridge ranks who could command as
much strength as he can. Whatever of ad-
vantage he may have over other men in his
party, he owes to his position as a late lea
der in the Douglas ranks, his rather mode
rate views lately expressed, and to large
acquaintance in the mining counties az
CURED by long, successful and extensive
practice of his profession.
1t would be strange if lawyer of Nc
Csnnelrs acquaintance did NO. have many
personal friends who, caring little for poll
tics, would vote for him on the score of
friendship. We, therefore, count for him
considerable vote that the balance of the
ticket he heads will not get. In this county
the number OF those outside of the party
who will support him will be likely to be
more considerable than in any other county,
and greater in proportion to the popula-
tion but he is well known in all the cent
raj aad northern regions of the State, and
must command vote on this account
greater than P. B. Reading could have done,
ani we regard him, with the exception of
Mcconnell, the strongest man that could
have been put on the course against San
ford and Couness.
Mcconnell is pretty good stump speak
er, q man Of great energy and determine
ton, and will undoubtedly work with the
same will as he would if the chances of
winning were greater. His conquests can
not come from the Republican party, but i.
will require the combined efforts of all the
powers in the Douglas ranks to force them
TO The polls unbroken in September.

PEACE. PEACE I


There is nothing more contemplate an,
disgusting than the craven cry from treach
erous tongues of peace, peace, when mis-
erabIe mob, without the color Of right Of
justice on It's side, is trampling under foo
and violating all that men prize most dearly
in this life. We have such pusillanimous
wretches in the loyal States, who are pos.
sessed of that mean and cowardly spirit
that would lull the people 10 repose, preach
no nresistance to wrong and crime and beat q
retreat in the face of bloated injustice out.

stroying the fabrics of liberty that centuries
have produced, and the labors of years OF
were pointing at fort Sumter, and when
every heart that beat with noble impulse
should have been aroused with Indignation
for the insult offered the country, these bas c
minded wretches offended the ears of men
and gods with their opportunities for con-
cession. compromise and peace. When the
Capital of the Nation was threatened with
a barbaric horde, when the taunt of cow
ardice was hurled indiscrlminately at the
sons of the North, and ignorance and bru-
tality were congregating in armies and
marching northward, still was the offense
to high heaven and all mankind repeated,
of railing for submission and retreat. The
damning sound still infects the air. There
arc some creatures that could turn their
backs on their eountry's misfortunes, and
fieudishly smile at her disgrace. Let his
tory be charitable when recounting the la
mentable fact that our country produced, at
been displayed by every American, too
many of these craven wretchcs, who ally
themselves with treason, robbery and mur-
der, without any but the basest incentives.
There is a class of persons in whom per-
verseness is the ruling characteristic. No
matter how potent may be the justice of
cause or however high and holy it may be,
they are found in antagonism. Represent
atives on earth of the Evil Spirit, their i'm
pulses and their aims are to make, from
order chaos, from law anarchy, the world a
hell. Between these and the better orders
of mankind there isa war of wrong against

the triumph of righteousness and truth. a
rood cause ALWAYS commands sympathiZinr

ton is elected for boldness in the wrong

REPUBLICAN NoMNEEs.-The Democrat
thinks it matter of objection to the Re-
publican party that some of its county
nominees were recently, as it says, Demo-
Gratis. To the contrary, if that is true, it
shows that the Republican party acted in
entire good faith when it Invited all patri.
otc citizens to participate in the primary
elections, and be represented in the con-
vention; and if these are also represented
on the ticket, the Republicans are perfectly
consistent in placing them there. great
many Democrats have joined the Republi-
can party since the war broke out, being
determined to vote for the prominent in
stead of any opposition party, and the Re-
publicans give them fair show of the Of
fees. The Democrat has nothing to say
against these men except that they were
lately Douglas Democrats-a fault of which
they have repented. If the moral charac-
ter and abilities are good, Republicans car
overlook the other, even if the Democrat
can't.

The PRosPEcr.-The day is too early te
tell with any certainty how the parties viii
stand as TO relative strength in this county
on the day Of election. There are certain
signs which give indications more or less
Aattering to this party or that, and of these
we propose to speak,
The Republican party is beyond question
the only organization losing nothing of its
last years strength, and gradually gaining
numbers. The Republican vote of the
county last November was, in round numb
ers, $500. Lincoln received a few more,
and so also did Il number of the county cam
didates. The gain since last fall is compu-
ted by some at two hundred and fifty
Whether it will reach that figure now, we
are unable to say, but tlnt the Republican
vote will come up to $3.50 fully by the day
of election we have no doubt. Sang uine
Republicans set it at 5000.
There have been so many mutations in
the other parties that it is impossible to tell
strength of the opposition will be divided
on the day of election, and more impossible
TO determine its status now. Many of the
Bell-Everetters of last year--there were 403
in hecounty-haye joined the Republicans,
few have gone to the Douglas organiza-
tion, but the larger half is with the Secs
4 &c tho A.,
have united themselves with the Republi-
cans, more are with the Douglasitcs, but the
bulk of the vote will be with the Mcconnell
party in September. Out of 1856 votes
given for Breckenridge, it is thought four
teen hundred still acknowledge allegiance
to the organization Of last year. Probably
two hundred and fifty of the Bell-Eyerett
men may be added to these, making up
about the number lost to the Republican
and Douglas parties. The Douglas party is
in more indeterminate shape than any
other. 1t has lost quite number to the
Republicans in many parts of the county,
and in few localities has been weakened
by desertions to the Breckinridgers. In
Grass Valley, in particular, the loss is said
to be considerable, but whether sufficient to
overbalance the gains in other places is yet
uncertain, and may be so till the election.
The vote of Douglas In this county list fall
was 1896.
Before the election arrives, information
will be obtained by means of Republican
clubs that will determine the vote of the
county very nearly. The canvassng done
last fall by these clubs determined the
strength of the parties with almost unerring
accuracy.

Bss5n Our fliend, Gen. Allen, in speaking
of the remarks OF the press on the Presi-
dents message, indulges in q " drive at
partisan editors. The Generals head is
about half way right when he says party
editors are expected to, and do speak, ac-
cording to the view he takes of things
through party glasses. Accordingly, a Sc
cession paper finds President Lincoln's war
message fall of blunders and absurdities, a
Douglas paper indorses it partially and with
an if, while Republican pronounces it SUI
perb in matter, logic and diction. But the
General has, we fear, too low all opinion of
party editors, or else is engaged in the bus
mess undertaking of raising no party, neu-
tral editors at the expense of political ones.
Party editors are not always blind to the
faults of their party, nor do they always
endeavor to blind the people to those faults.
When the Lecompton swindle was attempt
ed to be practised, hundreds of editors
whose pens contributed to the election of
James Buchanan, exposed the iniquity
though the pressIrH was strong against
them. John Tyler woke up one morning
and found himself the best abused man in
the world, for not going exactly as he
should. The party editors wouldn't stand
it, We might noint uut numerous cases in
this State where Governors, and other off,
GERS caught fits from party editors.
1t does not follow that because an editor
sustans his party that he is corrupt enough
not to disclose wrongs and errors that he
sees. II is natural that those who have the
same views of constitutional powers and
policy should think alike, and therefore the
message of Republican President, COM
mcnding line of policy and giving reasons
therefor is apt TO strike the mind of Re
publican rs just right. The cause of this
concurrence is owing to the similarity of
education and habits of thought among the
members of the same party, and not that
the lesser individuals are disposed to play
the toady to the leaders, whatever policy is
purs ned, or arguments are advanced by the
latter The General, we think, would leave
a different impression, though perhaps, he
does not intend it.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE The war mess
age of President Lincoln is just such one
as the times demanded. 1t is concise and
strikingly to the point. He discusses the
causes of the difficulty in the country ably
ard impartiaily, examines the doctrine of
the right of State to secede from the I'm
ion at will and presents it in n new light,
and calls upon the ma ion fer 400, 600 men
and 81 900, 900 to crush the rebellion. The
message is remarkable State paper and is
sure to have great influence on Foreign
Powers, and bound to be responded to by
the loyal States in solid column. The Pres
dent is evidently the right man in the right
place. Under his Administration no fears
of disgracefll policy being inaugurated at
Washington need be entertained. The peo-
pie of all parties in the Northern States
have the utmost confidence in the Govern
ment while Lincoln is at its head.

THE TRANSCRIPT, of Saturday, makes a
most unjust fling at us, in the lnsinuation
that we are new conner into the Republi-
can party, and that we came in after finding
1t the strongest party to get the nomination
for County Treasurer. 1t is we'll known to
Republicans and Others that we voted the
entire Republican ticket last year and con-
tributed in several ways to its success. In
the election previous-l859-we gave our
vote as the large majority of the Republi-
cans did, and even in 1858 we voted for Re-
publicans. This does not indicate new
born love for the Republican party. So far
as the charge of getting the party to nomi
nate US for County Treasurer is concerned,
it is shamelessly false. We never asked a
delegate to vote for, or do any thing for us
in the convention, nor did we ever nstigate
a friend to assist us in the least. Farther
than this, we did not make an effort to nro-
cure delegation from this township or
any other that would favor our nomination;
and more---it is we'll known that we pro-
posed to Withdraw from the list of candi-
dates on the evening before the convention,
the next morning, and even after the nomi-
nations were made and before the ballotting
commenced, we requested prominent del
egale and friend to withdraw our name
The insinuation in the Transcript is mali
ciously false.
