Misrepresentation.

The Visalia Delta, Republican fusion or
gan, endeayors to show he inconsistency of
the Democracy of California, by copying a
resolution adopted by the Committee on the
d of July last and annexing thereto, q reso-
luton adopted BY the party last year. They
are as follows:
Resolred, That the Union Democratic party
Of the State OF California adheres immovably
to its distinct organization, and recognizes no
necessity in the existing condition Of the eoun-
try and the State, calling upon Us as Demo-
Gratis or as patriots. TO abandon or qualify
that organization.-l Platform Of 1862.
Resolre3. That in the present overwhelming
crisis. he who would seek, by reviving past
partizan issues, TO distract the people, or to
wrest from their honest and patriotic devotion
some sordid partizan advantage, is not true to
the country nor worthy the name of an Amer
lean citizen Platform of 1851.
Now, suppose the Delta had been honest
and conscientious enough to give the resolu-
tious in the order in which they were adopted
by the party 1t would then find the Demo
cratic party, in 1861, declaring uuequirocally
IL favor of sustaining the Government, aud the
same party, in 1862, just as sOlemny and hon
estly declaring that there is 10 necessity in
the existing condition of the country or State"
calling upon them to " abandon or qualify that
organization or declaration. When all par
ties have declared as unequivocallv for the
Government, and reiterated it the following
year, as the Democracy of California have
done, there will be no opposition to the Gov
ernment in suppressing the rebellion. The
Democracy of California sustain the war poll
ey of the Government, as declared in the Crit
tenden resolution. The object of the fusion
leaders is to change that policy for more ul-
ira one. The Republican fusionists, who thus
oppose the declared policy of the Government,
and seek, by transp0sition Of declarations, to
wrest from the homes. and patriotic devotion
of the people, 3" sordid partizan advantage" :"
are " not true to the country, nor worthy the
name of American citizens"
The Democracy, in 1861, declared uncoudi
tionally, for sustaining the Government of their
country, and, in 1862, see no necessity to aban
don or qualify that organization. OF course not
DEMocRATIc GOVERNORS AND THE War
The Butte RECORD says:
Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Island was the
only Democratic Governor in America at the
time the war began, and was among the first
to lead troops to the nations capitol
/ And TO this the Sacramento Bee stinginglv
responds by proving that there were serenteen
Democratic Governors at the outbreak of the
war; all but four of whom were leading or
raising troops to be led "to the nations capi-
tol anterior to the action on the part of Gov.
/ Sprague-and the only difference between
them was that while Sprague was going to
defend it, the other Democratic Governors
were going to destroy it And what is a sin
gular fact also, no Governor but a Democratic
one led troops or raised troops to be led
against the nations capitol!
Not being honored by the Bee with an ex-
change, we find the above copied in the Red
Bluff Independent. We " don't see the
proof mentioned as having been furnished by
the Bee. If it did prove its statement, it
proved falsehood. The Bee well knows that
the Governors OF the rebel States, had follow
ed Breckinridge out of the Democratic party,
months prior to the secession of their respec-
tive States, and that the Breckenridge organi-
zation was repudiated and scorned by the Ma
tional Democracy as secessionsts from the
party and rebels TO the Government. Iu still
calling them Democrats, the Bee but reiterates
favorite Republican Misrepresentation, that
a decent white man and patriot would be
ashamed to utter or publish.
The REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME. A San
Francisco correspondent of the Yreka Journal
"A Republican paper-induges in the follow
ing speculations concerning the programme put
forth by the sham Union Republican fusion
leaders of California. Trenor W. Park, second
fiddler to John c. Fremont, is a prominent
candidate for the I. S. Senate should the
Republicans of California succeed in securing
