Let us Adhere to the Right.

Since the ultra Secessionists have succeeded
in forcing an odious platform upon the Breck-
inridge party, there are some who seem to
think that the cooperation of the sound
Union men of that party, who have become
disgusted with the concern, can only be Sc
cured to the support of the Union cause 10y
a softening down in our State Convention OF
the strong Union resolutions under which
the Convention was called This is an alb
su. dity on its face. The staunch Union men
of the State will have nothing to do with a
slammerin2 haltiDg Union platform. They
will vote for men who stand upon platform
which declares that the allegiance of every
citizen is due to the Nation first, and to the
State in which he is domciled, nert They
are for coercion, and when they so declare,
they Go not say, "but we are afraid 2nr Gov
ernment is in favor of melting slave insur-
rections" True Union men of all parties
know well enough that under Republican, as
under Democratic rule, we are a civilized
nation; and that this present war will be
conducted in a civilized manner. AS for those
who think otherwise, they have party let
them go with that. Let the Fourth of July
Convention adopt platform before making
any nominations and let it be up to the loyal
sentiment of the country. Trimming or quail
lying would drive thousands into the Repub-
lican ranks The masses of the people would
much rather be called Black Republicans
than Secession sympathizers The cry Of
"mad dog" has new meaning it now means
that the man against whom it is raised is not
true to the Union; it once meant that the
victim was not prompt and ready in comply
ing with the demands of the Davis, Gwin
and Toombs school of Southern ultraists. All
who cannot stand upon good sound uncon-
ditional Union platform, can go over and
support the Secession party. In the language
ofDouglas "7here can be no neutrals in
Mis ~ar-only patriots and traitors

TURNED UP AT LAsT.-The Montgomery
(Ala) Advertiser Of May 4th, has the follow.
ing:
We understand that the Fourth Alabama
Regiment which has recently been organized
at Dalton, Ga, have elected the following
officers: Egbert Jones, of Madison Colonel (;
CHARLES L. SooTr, formerly Representative
in Congress from California, but now citi-
zen of Alabama,) Lieutenant Colonel Capt
Law, ofthe "Tuskegee Zouaves," Major.
SO Scott still lives, and continues to labo,
in the good old Democratic cause" How
proud we feel that Scott once-yea twice
represented California in the popular brancl
Of the National Congress. Is there no fresl
honor that we can bestow upon Scott? Cal
we not woo Scott back The heart grow
weary at thinking of Scots absence. BRAY
little Scotty. A Lieutenant Colonel, too. Fl
on those who said that Gwin only took Scot
to Washington with him to hold his horse
Col. Snowden used to call Scott "bob- tai
politician" Penn Johnston called Gwin the
cold grey stud" Some Oberlin secessionist
will please sing:
Il bet my money on the bob.tail nag,
Somebody bet on the grey"

JACKS LOST We understand that two fine
jacks, belonging to the U. S. Government

each, have strayed away or been stolen from,

Those jacks We're probably acquired by the
common blood and treasure during the ad-
ministration of Buchanan, and being unwill-

have seeded. We are opposed to their sub
jugation, and trust that their independence
will be recognized.

cal treachery. on the part of Clay and Web
ster, to the principles and organization OF the
old Wing party Nor have any opprehen-
sion that the firm and unanimous support
which the Democratic leaders and masses are
now giving to the Constitution and the Union
will ever be deemed evidences of infdelity to
Democratic principles, or want Of loyalty to
the organization and creed Of the Democratic
party. If We hope to regain and perpetuate
the ascendency Of our party. we should never
forget that a man cannot be true Democrat
unless he is a loyal patriot.

THE GENERAL GRIEF The San Francisco
and Sacramento papers all do honor to the
memory of the lamented Douglas, and say
that the sorrowpg over his death is general,
among all parties. His unselfsh devotion to
the country and his prompt ahd energetic aid
to the Administration when black rebellion
beseiged the Capital, taught those who had
been his political enemies TO admire and love
him. Great confidence was felt in his ability
to prevent any gripping of the power of the
Government during the war. His Chicago
speech showed how r,joiced he was that the
war question was not to be the lass Of party
organizations in his loval State.

remarked that the firemen could whip twice
their number in Southern troops, Worthing-
ton made some reply in pleasantly, and Judge
Porter responded deprecatingly, it is said, of
the firemen as against Southern men, where
upon Monroe made an attack upon him,
striking him several blows over the head with

Senator Douglas Last Public Citerances.

Whether or not the following letter has
been hitherto published in its entirety in this
State, it cannot be kept too prominently be-
fore the people, while the compromise speech
OF it, illustrous author, delivered in January
hast, is being quoted by the Secession press
ofCnliornia in Justification oftheir Opposition
to the Government Mr., Douglas said in lis
January speech that compromise or war must
settle the great issue In common with all
good men he deprecated war, and to avert
so dire calamity he expressed himself will
ling to grant any reasonable guarantees to
those who had been deceived into rebellion
| by Infamous and false conspirators. lie
never believed that the present constitution
al guarantees were insufficient for the protec-
ton of southern rights in the Union, but he
recognized the fact that those who were Tor
disupon for the sake of disunion had suc-
ceeded in deceiving thousands Of Southern
men and inhaning them with fears for the
safety oftheir property under Republican
! Administrations His declaration that the
issue was compromise or war, did not mean
that he was in favor of a compromise that
would be dishonorabe or humiiating to the
nation of whose honor. perpduity and well
fare he was SO devoted a champion. lie
failed, with others, in elfecting II compromise
and the only other alternative presented it.
self The war came and then he said every
citizen must be patriot or q traitor. Did
any man in America doubt where he would
stand? The vilest calumny that can be ut
tered against the immortal fame Of the great
Douglas is that which would represent him
as throwing obstacles in the way Of the
Government, while it was defending itself
against the aggressive war opened 10y the
bonbardment OF Fort Sumter, simply because
the war policy must be determined upon by
Republican Administration. Those who
read the following letter can see the differ
ence between advocating peace and COM
promise while war wasonly threatened, and
landing by the Government anil It's couStitu-
ted authorities, (wihogt regard to the political
opinions of those in power, after the war ac
tuilly commenced. Inc small minds which
dare not be loyal for fear of being called
Black Republicans by armed traitors and
their sympathizers, are unworthy Of being
eountrytnen of Stephen a. Douglas. This
letter was written at the dictation of that
great man, during lis last Illness in reply to
letters from the Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee of Illinois, and is,
we believe the last chapter OF the brilliant
public record OF its author. Let the SANDER.
ers Of the dead read it, and cease to use his
name in connection with their treacherous
clamor5 for compromise, now "when war is
being waged against the United States with
the avowed purpose OF producing a perma-
nent disruption Of the Union and total des-
truction OF its Government"

The platform of principles laid down by

ring of the good old Democracy about it,
