Are the Republicans Outlaws

There are some simpletons who fear to do
right if a Republican does the same, for fear
they may be called Black Republicans by
the scum of society which gathers about low
groggerics and other dsreputable places.
We believe the principles of the Chicago
Platform are not fit for a government Of
slave and free States to be administered upon
If such II view is correct, good, Union Repub-
licans should yield the Platform for the sake
of the Union We hope they may do it,
When they cease to urge opinions which We
believe to be incorrect, and to advocate a
policy which we deem unjust, we know Of
no law Of attainder in this country which
forfeits their lands, conupts their blood or
denies them any civil right. We cannot,
therefore refrain from regarding them as fel
low citizens rather than as outlaws We hope
that every Republican who is willing to
yield the main dogma of his party for the
sake of the Union every Breckenridge man
who is tired Of demanding a slave code for
Jeff Davis and his friends, who spit upon our
government; every Bell and Everett man
who stands where he did in November, and
every Douglas Democrat, who moant what
he voted at that time, will let his love of
country transcend the love of party and the
thirst for spoils, and be in readiness to en-
list under whatever leadership shall seem
most likely to place California above all sus-
picon of disloyalty to !the Union as it now
is or as it may be- The Legitimate govern
ment of the United States of America has
its Capitol at Washington. Those who ad-
here to that government are loyal, those who
do not are guilty of treason. Honor to all
patriots! Death to all traitors The ques-
Jon now, is not, "by what party shall the
government be administered; )" it is, " shall
the government continue to exist"

Let the Test be Amended.

"Wc publish this morning the most heart
rending news it has ever been our duty to
chronicle. The Pony Express brings us the
intelligence that civil war has actually begun.
and the first battle has been fought. We
have 10 disposition to dwell on the details OF
the news. 1t must send pang to the heart
Of every patriot Our beloved country l.
now on the verge of ruin, and nothing but
the intervention of Divine Providence can
rescue it, Civil war with all its horrors con-
fronts us in the face. God only knows what
we are coming TO-"
The above was all that the Breckinridge
organ of this city had to say in its issue Of
yesterday, in relation to the terrible news
Of the Inauguration of civil war by the Sc
cessionists of the Cotton States The Express
could not dwell upon the details. Those de
tails are of a character not pleasant to be
dwelt upon by those journals which publish,
by authority, the address of the Lindley wing
Of the Breckenridge committee. The long
looked for blow was struck upon the wrong
side to admit Of any further charges that hos
tilitics were to be commenced 10y our Gov
ernment. Coercion-bloody, fratricidal and
unnccessary-hns been adopted as the policy
of the Southern Con federacy. The defenders
of jefferson Davis, in California,-the men
who cried out against civil war and blood
sAed-havc good cause to be dumb upon the
reception of the news of yesterday. They
may find it profitable to remain so.
If the above extract from the Express is in
unison with the fraternal feelings of the
Lindley committee, we suggest that new
meeting of the committee be called, and the
following be substituted for their present
published test of Democracy:
lst, Has civil war actually begun and has
the first battle been fought?
%. Have you any disposition to dwell up
on the details of the news?
Sd Does il send pang to the heart of ev-
cry true patriot
4th. Is our beloved country on the verge
Of ruin
5th. Does God only know what we are
coming to?
Let no mention be made in the test that
jeff Davis is for coercion, civil war and dis
union, rather than for compromise, peace and
Union. This would only distract the great
anti-Republcan party that is headed by
"Charlcs Lndley, Chairman"

Coy. Downey and the School Bin.

While we admire the manly and eloquent
tone of Mr. Conness speech upon the Mont
gomery School Bill, we cannot refrain from
expressing our regret that he chose to make
an apparent attack, at the close, upon the
Governor Of the State We have no means
Of knowing the Governors views upon the
sui iect matter, but we are of rhe opinion
that in tho absence of any declaration by
him in regard thereto in any official commu-
nicaron to the Legislature, the following
language used by Mr.. Conness was decidedly
out Of place. lie said
al have heard of prominent characters in
the State, men who seek high public station,
and imagine themselves fit to grace it, as be-
ing directly concerned with this movement.
| asked the question more than once Of lead
ing gentlemen, high in official station, con.
nectcd with their particular institutions, who
came TO me to reason with me and impress
ne with their views in favor Of this subject,
who represented that the Executive of this
State was in favor of the passage of this bill.
have asked them if it is SO, as it is made
his constitutional duty, particularly upon i'm
poraut measures that in their effect reach
the very centre Of society, why he did not
openly and plainly make recommendation
in favor of this measure as a matter of pub
lie policy2 ! said, if was Governor, and
believed the scheme was true policy and
should obtain, would recommend it. Why
does he not? That is the course. | said should
be taken. am in favor of pnbic men max
ing their positions known upon great public
sui jects whenever i. is necessary"
The Governor has not acquired the rcpu-
tation of being dodging politician since he
entered upon public lifo. lie may or he may
not be for the Montgomery bill. Mr.. Con-
ness does not say tnat he has had any con-
versaton or other communication with him
upon the subject. lie only repeats what
others have said. Had he been anxious to
ascertain the Governors views he could ca
silly have done so. lie evidently has not in.
formed himself to his own satisfaction, for
he refrains from so asserting Mr.. Conncss
is a fine paramentarian, and may have kept
within the bounds of courtesy in what he
said but the common sense view of the mat
ter seems to us to be that he has made an
ndiscreet attack, in the House, upon per-
son who can have no opportunity for reply
or explanation. If it be true that Governor
Downey is to be prominently before the De-
mocracy for the GovernorshiP, we submit
that others who are also generally regarded
as asprants for that or other positions, ought
to make charges boldly and upon good
grounds, and not deal in insinuation, upon
hearsay evidence. We wish it distinctly un
derstood that we do not intend, hereby, to
advocate or oppose the nomination of any
individual to Office

The Fourth of July.

On the fourth of next July, the eighty
fifth anniversary of the declaration of our ma
tional Independence, Congress is to assemble,
in pursuance of proclamation by the Prcsi-
dent. Shall California be there represented?
We hope that if any doubts exist in the minds
of oui Legislatsrs, as to whether Burch and
Scott have ceased in law, as they have in
fact, to be our Representatives that such ac-
tion will be taken as will ensure the election
of a Congressional delegation from this State
at such an early day as will enable them to
be in Washington at the opening Of the spe-
cial session. 1t is important that the people
should elect national representatives at a sep
crate time from the general election, ifit can
be done. The scramble for State and county
honors and emoluments ought to be scpe
rate affair at this crisis. The people will Sc
lect men of the right sort to Congress, if the
contest is organized upon Congressman alone.
If the general ru h for place is mingled with
il, however, there is danger that, 10y the com.
binations of aspirants, men of weak nerves,
and shufiling political habits may be presen-
ted to the voters by packed conventions, If
anything can be done in this matter, he who
first moves therein will deserve and re-
ceiye praise from Union men.
SENATOR DoUGLAs.-lt must be truly graft
flying to those who supported Stephen A.
Douglas in the last campaign, to hear of the
firm and patriotic stand he takes against the
rebels, and in support of the President of the
United States in the present crisis not that
anything less was expected from him, but
because some Seccssionists, who knew better,
have affected to count upon Mr.. Douglas for
aid and comfort in the event of a collision.

meeting of the Board Of Supervisors on Mon
day night was very largely attended by the
friends of the various candidates for City
and County Recorder Quite an animated
discussion, says the Call, occurred at the very
opening of the meeting, relative to the mis-
take of the tellers at the last session. Inc
riends of Mr. Gerbcrdng desired that the
minutes of the last meeting, as recorded 10y
the clerk, should be approved. As this would
be a virtual endorsement of his election, the
motion was strenuously opposed, and finally
the minutes were so altered as to declare
that the election of Mr.. G Gerberding, he having
but six votes when seven were required, had
not been consummated.
