The Defunct Republican Organization

The Defunct Republican Organization.
/ Since the pompous spendihrift. Fremont,
issued bis proclamation from St. Louis, declar-
ing the freedom of slaves and employed his
+ time behind the Notifications Of that city in
writing manumisS;ons for slaves that sought
his lines, the Republican organization has
wiihered al the top. and has sunk into an in
+ significance that must seem truly terrible 10
those whose hearts and pride were warmed by
lis transient success The recall Of Fremont
from St Louis left them without leader-a
mere sectional rabble, with a sectional plat
form that honest old Abe " felt compelled
to fut behind him when be registered his Ex-
ecutive oath in Heaven to support the Consti-
tuition, they stand, a disorganized squad OF
sectional malignants, without glorious past,
present success, or an honorable future, cling
( ing to a party name and organization that has
given birth to treason, rebellion and civil war.
The first FIVE months Of power, proved their
incompeteney to successfully conduct The Gov
ernment and ii was snatched from them by
the patriotic and Union loving people demand
ing its constitutional administration. Their
shrivelled fingers, covered with the blood of
loyal men, were thrust deep into the treasure
contributed by patriotic people for the pre-
servation Of our Constitutional Government
Their Camerons and Fremonts, have apparent
ly only sought TO embi,ter section against sec
ton, that the mental faculties and physical
developments Of a patriotic soldicry might be
turned into coin, for the use of such scoundrels
as l. G. Woods and j. c. Palmer by specnla-
lations in army supplies.
Failing IN their endeavors to have Fremont
appointed Commander-in- Chief of the army.
after his recall, they covertly set to work with
the understanding that, Mcclellan must not
win battle" That the followers of Fremont
of slaves. are acting upon this sentiment, we
have the authority Of the New YORK Journal
of Commerce The Summers and Hales, hav
ing failed in their efforts to have Fremont ap-
pointed to supreme command, settle back sui
lenly with the covert determination that
Mcclellan must not win a battle Such
has been Republicanism. Its organization is
but eight years old 1t is dead because Pres
ident Lincoln could not stand by its principles
and be true to his country. II is true that.
they are not in armed rebellion, but how much
better is the spirit they exhibit than that of
the rebels, when they declare that, " Mcclellan
must not he permitted TO win a battle" They
do not desire the succeSs of the Government
army unless it shall be obtained through their
own ultra political chiefs, ard for the glory and
honor of their own political organization. An
honest and patriotic people will not sanction
the Vaccinations Of these unprincipled political
schemers. The Legislature Of the State Of
California has declared them defunct, by sol
emn concurrent resolution. Out of the one
hundred and twenty members of the Legisla-
ture, there were but eighteen who voted against
the resolution declaring political parties ex-
tinct Eight Of these were members of the
late secession peace party. There were only
10 Republicans in the Legislature ultra enough
to desire the existence of the Republican or
canization. In the Assembly. where the Re
publicans had a majority, but three votes were
found in opposition to the resolution. This
exhibition of patriotism should cause blush
of shame TO tngle the cheeks of the would be
leaders Of that sectional organization. In the
present crisis Of the Government the people
only desire a Constitutional Union party, and
they heed not the desires and unholy schemes
of political fIlibusters, whose assaults upon the
Constitution is only equaled by their plunder-
ing of the peoples treasury.
The Republican organization in the Allan
tic States is dead by act of the people In
California. it is dead, by the solemn act of
their own Legislature Let not the people
heed the blatant cries of Republican leaders
for the continued existence of the Republican
organization, but rally to the Democratic par
ty in support of the policy of conducting the
war for the maintenance of the Federal Con-
stitution and the Unions integrity.
