TALK WITH THE BARK oN.-The San Fran.
cisco Alta, in an issue just befbre the Seces
sion Convention, sets up that peculiar body
aa follows
If the population of tho State were to re-
main fifty years tho same as now, the Seces.
sionists would be so numerous that the pub.
lie opinion Of loyal men would not be strong
enough to overwhelm them but migration
to California has not ceased In the course
of few years there will be ten loyal men
where there is now one-loyal men from the
North. whose blood has been spilled and for.
tunes injured by thia rebellion, and, there
fore, moral haters of its authors and encout-
ayers, whether in South Carolina or Califoi=
MIA.
Gentlemen Secessionists, do your wors&
use all possible stimulation in drafting ybu*
platform, and all policy in determining upon
your future course of action. The road that
you take will be avoided by all faithful oiti'
zens and you and yours shall never again
have sway in California. A peace party Of
loyalists might spring up, but they would
never help you into power or keep equal fell
lowship with you But we cannot prevent
you, If you please, from voting for loyal men
who spurn you but he who gets your vote
is under suspicion, and will never stand we'll
unless the public know we'll that he did net
invite it,

A Coon NoMINAFIoH.=Among the other
most excellent nominations made by the
Great Union Party in this State, without be-
ing invidious, we would like to express the
great qualification which loyal men must feel
at the nomination of James II. McNabb for
State Senate. from Sonoma county. He is
eminently fitted for the place, being sensi-
BILE, shrewd business man, and of the kind
always to be trusted. Of course the Cotton
Fusibles and the secesh have united against
him, but it can make no difference. He will
be elected.

The Adulterous Connection.

The fusion between the fragments of the
Union Democratic party. and the secession
sympathixers In this State, seems TO have ex-
cited one universal feeling of disgust among
right minded men,
How an Union man oan consent to receive
the votes of those who are striving for the
country's downfall, or how he can walk Up
to the polls, and deposit his votes with such,
is something impossible to understand. The
secesh sympathizing element understands its
purpose very we'll. The intention is to cre-
ate schisms, ifthey can, among tho loyal men
of the State. "Divide and conquer" is the
motto of these unfortunate men, Next year
they will have clean bill of sale of all such
as this year vote with them, and then they
can make platforms that will boldly express
what they desire, even more plainly than the
traitorous one recently adopted at Sacramen,
to, On the 9th inst
We have befbre said, and now repeat, that
there is necessity now impending that all
Union men should be found marshaled to-
gether, in one camp, and with one purpose
taking in this particular lesson from the
disruptionists in our midst, who are united
in one phalanx. This icar is not yet at titH
tide. One year from now will work as great
changes in public sentiment, and in the posi-
tions of the issues Of the contest, as we have
seen in the last twelve months. Compromise
and Cancellation are out Of the question:
We have got to fight it out.

The PoLITICAL FELoNs-The San Fran.
cisco Call says of the late Secession Copyen-
ton:
.We will not troat of the action Of this
villainous assemblage in measured terms
they have set themselves up in defiance to
our Government, and should be looked upon
as public enemies.
We look upon Fitsgerald's nomination as
a public outrage, an act that detracts from
the dignity of the American nation, and
which gives license to the worst of crimes.
If treason, thus a.msily covered up, be al
lowed to gather | cad in loyal State, we
may hereafter look for ramfcation of the
principle it involves. How would the world
view party which, during a foreign war,
should set up candidate favorable to the
public enemy I? Are We differently situated
at present? We call on the loyal sentiment
of this State to infict public indignity up
on the men who have thus violated public
decsncy. Let the brand of crime be placed
upon the farahead Of every man who has had
the effrontery to organize and bring into ac.
tive existence rebel party in California"
Tod Robin,on, delegate in that Conven.
ton, said, if the Union men should carry the
State, the rebels in California would "be
nothing bpt branded felons in the estimation
of the Legislature and the paitical commu-
nifty" 1t is true that in no frea State ON the
Atlantic side, nor in Maryland, Delaware,
Missouri, Kentucky or Tennessee, would
such a conclave have been allowed. And if
anywhere in the loyal States, save on the Pa
cifo coast, this sivillainous assemblageh
would have been prohibited, what must he
thought of the politicians protesting loyalty
who sympathize with these men. and so act
as to deserve their suffrages Bee.

The Campaign.

All the intelligence from different parts of
the State points to the triumph of the Great
Union z ,rty, by such a majority as this State
has never before given in any election. The
nominations which have been made bv that
party are of the very best material, and sue.
cess Is certain. But that can afford no ex-
cuse for not laboring for the success of the
ticket with all energy. tits not enough that
that party should merely succeed. 1t should
do so by such majority that disloyalty and
its shadow and accomplioe, blind and bigoted
partyism, will be crushed out forever in this
grand State. Let no loyal man leave any
part OF his duty unperErmed. Up and at
them with will, and we shall hear no more
of Southern Confederaeys and Pacific Repub-
lies on this coast. You have platform
which only enunciates the principles of vow
undying love for this glorious heritage
Surely for that you can go into thel
with an unusual keenness of patriot
ment. Remember, too, that in n
counties in this State representing

sionsts and Cotton men, are in cid
They have stripped offall disguise,
before the people, naked in their su
Secessionism, or willing to receive tn
port of those who pray by day and by
for the success of the Southern Confedera
and the overthrow of our country.
Remember, that if by any neglect, on Il
part of true men, or from any cause whatev
cr, the rebellious Confederacy should be es-
tablished, the United States perishes from
the map of the nations of the earth. So
great calamity, so dire disgrace would so
demoralize our country and its people, that
the feeling of patriotism would be forever ex-
tinct. Wherefore it is to be regarded as a
life and death struggle. We must conquer
this rebellion, or it ciH conquer us. Choose,
then, your destiny whether it be under the
benign rule of this Government which never
yet harmed mortal man, or the tyranny of a
cotton despotism, where every act thus far
has been of rapine, of blood, of tyranny and
wrong unspeakable.
