The Issue of the Day.

As the patriotic hosts of the North and
West are enrolling by tens of thousands to
go forth and do battle for the Constitution
land the integrity Of our Union, there to offer
themselves as a sacrifice upon the altar of
our common country. to perpetuatc the great
principles Of republican institutions, let us
not. here on the Pacific coast, where peace
still reigns lull ourselves into repose while
black treason is vauLted in the ear of our
loyal citizens upon every street corner, and
where men are permitted to enjoy all the
rights and privileges under the Constitution
and laws, but openly curse the Government
that protects them, and, through its magnan-
unity, permits them to desecrate the soil up.
on which they stand to emit their treasonous
sentiments and blasphemy; but let every
patriot look well to the future, and so unite
themselves into one solid column during the
coming campaign, that the result of their ac
ton shall strike terror to the hearts of the
traitors among US, and speak in thunder
tones to those doing battle for us in the
South, showing that California stands firmly
by them in the support of the Admission to
quell the vilost rebellion that was ever insti-
gated in any country.
| Let the conservative Union element. ire
spcctive of party, unite like our brothers who
have marched forth to the battle field, and
lot one common impulse pervade all our acts,
to stand by our country in this time of cur
afilicton, and for the only issue now before
the people-for the Constitution. or treason
to it. That there are numerous parties in
this State who are heart and soul in sympa-
thy with Jeff. Davis and the Southern rebel
lion there can be no doubt: then let those
shoulder to shoulder, and battle for the one
all-absorbing principlc-the maintainance of
the Constitution, and the hearty support of
the Administration in its efforts to subdue
the monster that would destroy it.
1t appears to US that now is the auspicious
time to surrender the old party ties Of former
peaceful times, and to unite the conservative
element Of this State into one party for the
support OF the Government IN maintaining
the Constitution as it is and if there be any
opposed to it, either from the North or the
South, now is the time for us to know it, for
we want to know whether they are for de-
stroying the Union or for its maintainancc.
This shufiiing of politicians seeking place has
been the cause of the present rebellion and
the people will have no better opportunity
than the present TO say to the politicians that
they know their wants, and that they are
capable of acting solely for tho good of the
masses, to the exclusion of Office hunters, If
the people take hold of this matter with oner-
gy in the coming election, no combination of
rebels OF abolitionists can defeat the glorious
| movement for tho Union that has been so
well begun.

Dixie Howl.

The Dixie Democratic journals of this
State manifest wonderful sensitiveness
about the hearty endorsement by the people
of the Union movement, that is calculated TO
give treason the most severe rebuke that it
ever received in this State. They fer the
| conservative element will give its support to
the Government, and say to the uitras Of the
North and South, that, caring nothing for
party lines that have heretofore existed. in
these times of trouble and danger to our lib
critics, the great heart of tne people is beating
in unison with the love of country and re-
publican institutions, and that patriotism
bids them stand by the Administration in
upholding the Constitution in its broadest
sense, and allow no sectional spirit to sunder
the liberties of thirty millions of whites iar
the welfare of some four millions of backsy
whom circumstances have made the rallying
cry for treason and blood.
The course and arguments of these would
be Democratic journals since this rebellion
raised its hideous head, have been duly noted
by the loyal people of this State. and none
but the most blinded party trueklers will

sion miuions.
What the leaders of this Dixie Democratic
purity going to save the Union In what
manner do they propose to save it? By per-
mitting the Southern States to secede, and
withdrawing our armies from the field, while
the enemies of the country have arms in their
hands, carrying fire and sword to the homes
of every lover Of his country in the section
over which they hold sway. As well might
these journals try to make the people believe
that Satan was tho true Saviour of mankind
as try to cnnvince them that they intend to
sustain the Constitution ard to preserve the
country from total ruin. Out upon such
Democracy as they preach. Let the Union
voters come together i'll the next election.
and this year form a nucleus out of which, at
some future time, great National party
may be formed, whose principles shall be
broad enough to unite the Union conservative
voters of the South as well as the North and
which shall guarantee all constitutional
rights to each section, uniting and binding
these States under the Constitution rs it is,

Marysville Express.

Iu the Marysville Express of the Sth inst,
we find an article by which we should judge
the editor to be quite .iubilant over the fact
that there is to be no rival Democratic Con
vontiop this ycar-that secession will hold
the only Democratic levee, and have things
its own way. Tho Express says tat the
dissentions of 1860 no longer exist in the
other States and az a political necessity, the
two wings of the Democratic party should
unite in this. "We do not say" says the
Express, - that the Douglas party has formal
ly disbanded. but the recent action of the
Central Committee shows that many Of that
party are with us.
We have quoted sufficiently from the arti-
Gle alluded to, to show that there is something
| rotten in Denmark. Our readers VIII infer
| from the above that this Convention will have
very little to do-thc endorsement of the nom-
inee Of the Union Democratic State Central
Committee for Superintendent of Public In
struction. This done, the dissentons in the
Democratic party will be healed, aud the
the two wings united, according to the Ex-
press.
That there will be but one Convention
! and that a secession one. we do not DENY
nsr shall we deny that some who last year
acted with the Conness party, and even some
who voted fer Stanford will be found in the
secession camp the present year: but We
do deny that more than a sanall fraction o
the Ceaness party will be found acting with
the aiders and ahettcrs of treason. The dis
sentions of 1850 illuminated in the firing
upon Fort Sumter in 1861, and the healing
process is going on in a very different way
from that Of uniting the Democratic par J

unanimously adopted;
WHEREAS. In the language of the Hon. Stephen

party issues, make illusions to old party tests,
have examinations and reeriminatons, indulge in
no tauuts against the other to who has been
the cause Of these troubles. When shall have
rescued the Government and country from its per
lis and seen the flag floating in triumph over every
inch of American soil, it will then be time enough
inquire as to who and what brought these troubles
