of the sophistical .sachings Of csrtaia
unprincipled newspapess-the caudGl
extremity Of the def6nct democracy
which, enraged at the sudden termins-
ton of their party's rule, seek to cover
their reasonable hatred of the govern.
ment they can no longer control, by
lies and misrepresentation. Il Ought.
by this time, to be plain to oil, that t6erc
is not single question that has ever
been in issue between any parties Of
the country, involved in the present
contest. The struggle is purely Of
national character; It is a war to sustain
national existence and free government
on one side, against secession and m.
archy on the other, and the belligerenh
are the loyal people of the nation
arrayed against band Of dissatis6ed
Southern ofice-hunters and ambitions
politicians. Between the parties in
such a strife what lover OF his county
can be at q loss to choose. Is it MI
strange that between national life and
there are some that prefer
the latter? Unaccountable as it may ap.
pear, such wretchcs do live and enjoy
''local habitation and q name" on the
Pacific coast. Among the most noto.
rious of these are the conductors Of Ger.
tain newspapers in California and Or.
egon, to wit: the San Francisco Herald
the Oregon ditto, the Corvallis Union,
and Joe Lanes hireling the Portland
Advertiser. These fellows do not like
to be called secessionists or traitors, 20
they sail under the old banner of de-
and for greater safety, dub
Union democrats. Union
is the usual prefix to q democrat Of the
stripe; it runs before secession
democracy like the cow.catcher Of To-
