medium for such cooperation is the Republl-
can party, which has control of the Govern
ment, Is untainted by disloyal associations, and
frst initiated the policy that has saved the
integrity of the Republic.
Marysville Appeal.
If you suppose the Republican organization
is the only one in which patriots and Union
men can act. go ahead. You will find your
selves as badly beaten throughout the State,
as you have il San Jose. The Republican
organization is just as sectional as the rebels
themselves but the patriotic, constitutional
and Union Democracy will conquer both. The
Republican party has not control of the Gov
ernment A patriotism reaching far beyond
the limits of the sectional Republican organi-
zation-a patriotism that is co-extensive with
the boundaries of the Republic, and as firm as
the serried ranks of the Union soldiers that
were hurled against DonelsoD, has a voice in
the councils Of the nation. II is the voice of
the patriotic, Union loving Democracy. 1t
found place in the Cabinet when Stanton
succeeded the Republican plunderer Cameron.
The Republican party had entire control of
the war until disgrace covered the Government
arms as with pail, and the grand army of the
Union returned to Washington, demoralzed
mob mortified by defeat, to see the RepublI-
can party that then had control of the Gov
ernment, lay train of gunpowder under the
proud Capital of the nation, that it might be
blown up. before the rebels compelled the Re
publican party to evacuate. The chief organ
Of sectional Republlcanism (the New York
Tribune), seeing the havoc that Republican
control had created, went down upon its knees
and promised never to interfere again. 1t was
then, after the Republican party's control had
been dissipated by the defeat and panic at
Bull Run, that Congress adopted the Critten-
den resolution declaring the war TO be carried
on solely for the supremacy Of the Constitution
and the integrity of the Union. 1t was upon
this basis that the army was recognized, and
prepared for restoring the supremacy of the
Federal authority, and nobly have they accom-
plished their mission wherever they have gone.
Under Republican control it was found neces-
sary to undermine the Capitol of the nation
The patriotic sentiment of the Union Democ-
racy, embodied in the Crittenden resolution, is
undermining the rebellion instead of the ma
tons Capitol.
The policy to be urged upon the Govern
ment by a maintenance of the Republican
organization, is that adopted by Fremont, and
which enabled Price and his rebel horde to
overrun Missouri. An emancipation policy,
with magnificent Major Generals behind nnu
slaves The removal Of the Republican party
policy from Missouri BY the removal of Ere
mont, and the adoption of the Democratic pol
icy in conducting the war, by the appointment
of Halleck, soon cleared Missouri of rebels,
and the victorious Democratic General, with
the supremacy of the Constitution for his mot
to, is crowdng the panicstricken rebels to the
Gulf. How different from the Republican
party control in Missouri? How different
from the Republican party control at Bull
Run?
| The object in maintaining the Republican
organization is to force the Cameron. Fremont
policy upon the plumber ex-
travagance and a total disregard of the rights
of the people under the Constitution. The
Democratic policy is the supremacy of the
Constitution, with the rights of the States and
the people unimpaired. If the Appeal feels
the germ of conservative sentiment, do not
destroy it by adhering to an unconstitutional
and sectional party organization that never
extended over half the territory embraced in
the boundaries of the Republic. Heed not
the mandates of bigoted partizan leaders,
They will but make cats paw of your con-
servatism to deceive loyal men into the sup
port of their unconstitutional policy. Let
your conservatism expand until it ripens into
patriotism, and then fall into the ranks of the
Democracy and the glorious Constitution and
Union of our fathers shall be maintained If
you cannot do this, but must follow the bid
ding of your partizau leaders, take look at
the last San Jose Mercury, and see how you
will look and feel next September.
