A CALIFORNIA REGMEYr-It is stated that
a regiment is being formed at San Francisco.
to go East in aid Of the Government. We
think this bad move. Treason is, by its ST.
lence, lulling our people to sleep just now ;
but meanwhile it is seadily organizing its
forces. 1t is the duty of California to attend
to the United States Government pronerfv
and interests within her own borders, until
such time as a requistion may be made upon
us for troops. AT present, the Government
cannot accept the services of one-third of
those who volunteer in the East The Cali
iornia Secessionsts may attempt to make
trouble in Lower California yet Texas, Ari-
zona, New Mexico and California have been
for Lone Star Republic, to be
eventually annexed to the Cotton States. We
have traitors here, and may have trouble with
them, if they are active while we are sloth-
full The Order Of the Golden Circle is no
myth. The infuriated and now apparently
PROSTATE Secession faction, is not composed
Of over-scrupulous men. With Union masks
on their faces, they seek to obtain power in
the State, preparatory to inaugurating a rev.
olution.

The advocates of civil war have trumped

Confederate States They are now accused
of design TO establish a Monarchy The
principal fact relied upon to sustain the allie.
cations is the very important one that some
skipper in the South has christened his craft

such weghty testimony, there can be no

D"yis!-henee-humjug !-BuHe Democrat.
How enraged the secession-U Union organs
are at any disrespectful meltion of the rebels.
And yet they have the audacity to pretend to
be saturated with patriotism, and to be boil
ing over with devoted love of the United
States Government. They cannot deceive
the people. Those who cannot bear to hear
Jen. Davis denounced may as well save their
labor, curse the Union with their lips as well

DAVIS HAD BETTER WEAKEN THEN.-The
Express has column article to show that a
protracted civil war will be a hard thing for
both sides The supporters of the Govern
ment will doubtless be much obliged to the
Express fer its counsel and warning The
friends of jeff. Davis had better quit when
they think they have made themselves
trouble enough. If the rebels will go about
their ordinary ayocations, Chose who live
decent liyes), dsgorge so much of the Gov
ernment property stolen by them as they
have not made away with, and yield obedi-
ence to the Federal laws as they did when
they held the offices, there will not be drop
of blood split. They or the Government
must yield, and tie Government acper uW.

The PEAcEADLE CoMMENcEMENr-It should
not be forgotten that the shameless villains,
who were Cabinet Ministers in our Govern
ment last winter, when the disunion conspi-
racy might have been crushed with but little
trouble, and who served the traitors, while
they were paid by the Government, terrified
Buchanan into submission to their high
handed treason, in part by threatening him
with the dagger, the bowl, or the cord AS
sassiuation Of the President of the United
States was threatened, if lie dared to inter
fere With the work then being done by Floyd,
Cobb, Thompson d Co., and yet secession pa
pers in our very midst declare that the in
teutons Of the disunonists were always most
peaceful Such peace dwells in the pistol Of
the highwoyman who will only kill wher
opposed in his plundering career, The de
fence Of jeff Davis and his associates would
be more exasperatng to our people were ii
less disgusting, The absurdity of the thing
nauscates rather than angcrs decent men.

Growth of the Republican Party.

The Express and kindred journals set
every man down as a Republican who stands
by the Government and its constituted au-
thorties during the present war. How
strangly great men will differ While the
Express editor is thus declaring all endorscrs
Of thase who offer to fight for the Govern
ment to be Republicans, who do we see Of
its own party urging the people to take up
arne and let slip the dogs Of war upon those
who seek TO overthrow and destroy us as n
nation. First and foremost there is Daniel
5. Dickinson who was declared the first
choice Of the State Convention Of February
1860, for the Presidency. The Express was
eager for his nomination at Charleston. He
is fierce for the war against the traitors
Then there is Caleb Cushing, who presided
over the Charleston Convention until it split,
and then presided over the Breckenridge
wing at Baltimore. lie has drawp his sword
and is in what the Express calls Abe Lin
coins army. Then there is B. f. Iailet, the
author of the Cincinnati platform, he is sup
porting the Government. b. +. Butler, who
was a delegate from Massachusetts, TO the
Charleston Convention, and who bolted and
helped nominate Breckinridge,-he is in
command of the Massachusetts regiment
which invaded Maryland TO borrow favor
its phrase Of the Express) and is now at Ana
polls. And Lewis Cass, the father of Democ-
racy. he too exhorts his countrymen to do
battle for the flag Of their country Johnson,
of Tennessee, also Breckenridge man, is an
uncompromising coercionist. Rice Of Mime
sofa, Bigler Of Pennsy lvania, Latham of this
State, James +. Brady (the Breckinrdge
nominee for Governor Of N. Y. last falI) and
last and least James Buchanan, all advocate
coercion and war for the suppression of the
bold and wicked rebellion Of the Cotton
State leaders. Such are the men who have,
according to our sage instructor of the EX-
press, become blood-thirsty Black Republic
cans. We congratulate the party of which
the Express is an able and influential organ
upon the "sloughing off" process by which it
has become free from such "putrifying sores
as the owners Of the names we have men
toned. The "Democracy' being renewed,
regenerated and pure" should never again
admit to its immaculate halls such old ''Brod
ericlI .disorganizers" "short boys" etc. as
Daniel 5. Dickinson and the rest.
