Of Sacramento county met on Tuesday last
\ message was sent into them from the Re
publican Committee, inviting them to fuss
with that party, which was rejected and a
Democratic Convention was called for the 5th
day of August. Among other resolutions the
following were adopted:
Resolred, That although not authorized as q
Committee to consider the proposition of the
Republican County Committee, We have DO
hesitation in declaring, as members of the
Union Democratic party. that so far from be-
lieying the proposed fusion is either necessary
or patriotic, we are convinced that the present
unfortunate state Of our country should rather
impel true Democrats to insist upon, and labor
TO effect, more perfect organization of their
party, as well as TO aid in the struggle making
for the Constitution and the Union. as to give
honor and power to its truly national and con-
servative principles.
Res0tUed, That We recognize in those who
invite US to abandon our organization, men
who have ever been our opponents, and among
them some who have affiliated with Us for
selfish motives, true to their unholy instincts,
are but seeking under another name q means
of furthering their schemes for power and per
SOnal aggrandzement.

RIGHTS, PoLIcY, Ere, ETC.-The Marys-

The policy Of the true Union and patriotic
men Of the country has been to allay the fears
of the Southern people-reassure them Of their
constitutional rlghts-develop the Unionism
among them and convince them that the party,
which succeeded to power upon a platform
hostile 10 their interests and rights. did not
intend to interfere with their domestic institu-
tiouS or deprive them of the protection Of a
common Constitution.
What rights have the rebels lost that they
could not regain without fghdnge What
rights are they fighting for What right has
any citizen Of the United States, under the
Constitution thereof, that the rebels cannot
enjoy by laying down their arms. and renew
ing their allegiance? What are they fighting
for, if they have lost 10 rights? What right
( is the Express party fighting for, when they
resolve that they are opposed to the employ
meut Of force, to compel rebel obedience to
constitutional authority? The policy of the
true Union and patriotic men Of the country,
as announced by the Express, has not beer
the policy of the Express party, for its party
opposed force, to compel the obedience Of tht
rebels to constitutional authority, and favore<
a recognition Of the Southern Conlederacy.-

EASTERN NEws.-The news from the At
lautic States, during the past week. has beer
of an interesting and exciting character. The
six or seven days hard fighting il front oi
Richmond, during the latter part of June, re
suited in great loss to the conteuding armies
the rebel loss being estimated at 10000, aud
ours at 10000. It was a desperate attempt OIL
the part Of the rebels, to defeat Mcclellan:
army. 4 dispatch from Mcclellan, however
announces the repulsa Of the rebels, and the
Government army still threatens the rebel
capital, as Halleck's army threatened Corinth
after the battle of Pittsburg Landing.
Ficksburg, Mississippi, has been captured
By the Government forces. This opens the
valley of the Mississippi to commerce, and
closes the back door against the escape of the
rebels into Mexico. The dates are to the 5th
of July.

1t is matter Of aStonishment that patriots
of California should have been east down, on
the receipt Of rebel reports, that Mcclellan
had been killed, and his army anE;hiated-
We had supposed that past experience had
taught them that such reports always preceded
the announcement Of rebel defeat. During
the six days fighting. Of the last Of June, on

THE Missouri State Convention, says the
St. Louis Republican, of June 10th, has ad-
journed after a session Of two weeks, in which
every question of public character, brought
before it was disposed of in satisfactory way:
An ordinance was passed continuing in
office the present Governor, Lieutenant Cover
nor and Secretary of State, until January 1864.
Another defines the qualifications of voters at
all elections. which we have already published.
A third amends the Constitution of the
State. whereby all elections after the lst of
July, 1862, are 10 take place on the Tuesday
after the first Monday of November the effect
of this amendment being to postpone the cleo
tion for all officers in this State until Noyen-
Der next
Another ordinance provides the manner in
which loyal citizens now in the army NAV vote.
An ordinance was also passed dividing the
State into nine districts for the election Of
Representatives in Congress"
The emancipation bill. the great measure of
the Republican fusion party, was killed the
first pop" by vote of nearly three to one.
Aud yet it is the policy Of the Republican
party TO crowd emancipation upon the loyal
people of Missouri and other Border States, or
crowd them into rebellion. The loyal men Of
those States have done more for the Union than
the whole Republican party, and ought to be
permitted to govern themselves without inter
ference from Republicans in Northern States
from whose doors they have kept the horror;
