TAKES IT BACK.-The anonymous call for
"Union State Convention" to be com
posed of "black spirits and white, blue spr-
its and grey" last week received the indorse
ment of the Nevada Journal; but in the
interium that paper has ascertained that the
Douglasies have no intention of giving up
their organization and uerge into the new
tangled concern, and therefore it withdra VS.
its Endorsement, and recommends the Re
publcans to hold st to their party. The
Journal wants what it calls "a fair Union
party" formed by Douglas men and Re-
publicans-both throwing dside rheir party
organizations-or else none at all. AS the
chief priests of these parties have determin
ed to fight within their own ranks, the
Journal man will be compelled to adhere to
his Republican brcthern.

Nor ALL OF ONE MISD.-The Republican
journals and their allies in California, have
been industrious in creating the impression,
that the war troubles on the Atlantic side
has been the means of abolishing all party
lines in the free States, and that all men are
ralying to the support of Lincoln's war
policy. This is a gross deception, as we
could easily prove by selections, which would
fill pages, from our exchanges, extending
from Maine to Iowa. A large number Of the
press are making an earnest fight against
the war that it is said Lincoln and his cabi-
net are determined to make against the
South. The whole North are united as one
man in their determination 20 defend Wash.
ngton City from attack and invasion, but
they are far from approving a subjngation
Of the Southern States as recommended Lv
the ultra Republican papers. Northern
Democrats have not forgotten that the Re
pnblican party is responsible for the troubles
Of the country, and while they are ready
to uphold the Government in all legal efforts
to maintain the Union, a"d are preparing
their breasts for the shock of battle, they
will resist a Black Republican extremist,
whether in or out of the Cabinet.

MORE ANON,

LEGISLATIVE ECONOMY last Lepisla
ture was pronounced exravagant and waste
ful in the expenditure of public money.
However that may be, it is certain that
in one case they preserved parsemonious
economy. We aIlude to the publication of
the proposed amendments to the Constitu-
ton. These amendments are very import
ant, and should be well understood by the
people before they vote upon them, but the
Legislature provided that the amendments
should only be advertised in one newspaper
at the Capital, and but once week during a
period of three months. How it will be pos
s'be, under this arrangement, for the peo
pie of counties remote from the Capital,
where Sacramento papers are seldom seen,
to be informed of tho proposed amendments,
we canno: tell. Perhaps the Legislature
expected them to $50 it blind" Who will
question the economy of the last "assem-
bled wisdom" after this.

re" In the coming canvass, many good
men, who have not heretofore acted with the
democracy in this county, have expressed a
determination to act with them in opposition
to the coercion doctrines of the Republicans
They express disgust for the hypocritical
claims put forward by Republicans as being
the Union party par excellence, knowing full
well that that party is really responsible for
disunion. These gentlemen admit that
however much they may have differed with
Democrats before, that the old party now
occupies the only position that will give
