1t is amusing to see to what straits some @
the recent advocates Of the recognition OF th'
Southern Confederacy " are driven by reeen
Union victories The defeat Of the rebel for
ces at Corinth. yorktown and Richmond
would send the idioiic conductors of the Noun
tain Democrat to the straight jackets of mad
house If the conductors of the Mountain
Democrat (Gelwicks and january are not al
ready senseless idiots, they may take the other
horn of the dilemma aud wear the brand which
we burn into their traitorous foreheads. lying
and contemplate puppies, and malignant Will
fers and hbellers. They breathe lies, they
sweat lies, and it is doubtful whether they
could live out of the malaria of vilIifcation SIAN
der and misrepresentation they originate long
Z er than a dog fish out Of water Dripping with
/ treason to the American Constitution BY their
support of platform that declared in favor OF
a " recognition OF the Southern Confederacy,
and the formation of treaties of amity and
I peace between the Southern Conederacv and
the United States they seek to thrust their
treason and their fellow-lraitors into the Demo-
cratic organization, denouncng those who re-
fused to follow them in their secession from
the National Democratic organization at
Charleston, as abolitionists," etc. Could

Austin +. Smith, Showalter and his party,
and renomnate Breckenridge for the Presi-
dency, in 1864
The great anxiety of these reasonable
wretches. Just now, is to compel the Democra-
cy of California to adopt lying nti,iail reso-
luton that has defeated the party in every
State where it has been adopted. They feel
ticklish about the neck The idea of playing
checkers with their noses on the bars Of a pris-
on, where the habeas corpus of a rebel judge
cannot reach them. carries terror to their trea-
sonable hearts. They had better settle with
their colsciences by recanting their treason,
than by the adoption Of untruthfu resolutions
. The Democracy Of California will adopt no
, such resolution as did the Democracy of New
Hampshire, for the simple reason that those
who are arrested by the Government upon
false information, have either been liberated,
or can obtain their release by swearing ale
glance to the Constitution. The Democracy
Of California are not friendly to the personal
/ freedom Of those who refuse allegiance to the
Federal Constitution. Those who are can 60
/ into a convention where they can adopt resolu-
/ tions to SUIT themselves. The Constitutional
and Union Democracy-those who refused to
/ leave the National organization at Charleston
are not reduced to the necessity Of adopting
an anti Jail platform. If the seeeders from the
Charleston Convention are already reduced to
that extremity let them adopt it OF emgraie.
/ The Democracy Of California shall never ham
} per themselves with lying resolutions to shield
those who refuse their allegiance to the Fede-
raj Constitution, however much it may be
spiced with euuucations Of correct principles.
We proposed to show that these reasonable
! dogs, Gelwicks and January. are idiots or IN
mitgated liars. After exhausting their die
tiouary of epithets and their cases of exclama-
tion points they say, speaking Of the Editor

Who but idiots or malignant liars would
make such an assertion, when everybody know;
it to be untrue? The Democratic Convention
