pEAcE 0RoANIzArr3Ns AsD IDEAS.


The coLfict of political ideas aDd opin-
ions among the people Of the United States
g during the long years which precede the
breaking out of the rebellion, found them
in the Presidential election of 1860, and at
its close, classif d as Republicans, Douglcs
Democrats, Breckinridge Democrats. and
Constitutional Union men, or Bell & Ever
est men, or Americans. aa
The ideas or political opinions of the peo-
pie which these organizations were based
upon and intended to represent may be
classified as Anti slavery, Pro slavery and
Conservative. The men of conservative
opinious were not all to be found in a
seperate Organization by themselves, and
the extremists in like separate PARTIES, but
the conservatives were to be found 10 all
parties, enrolled with the men of more ex-
treme opinions, who gave lone and character
to tbe parties respectively. Thus the Re.
publican party was based on snu-slavery
ideas, but was composed of men of various
shades. or schools of anti slavery sentiment,
from him who stopped at the enactment of
the WIlmot Previso, or prohibition OF
slavery in the territories, through the in
termediate classes who favor the abolition
of slavery in the District of Columbia, the
interdiction of the slave trade from State to
State, tie repeal of the fugitive slave law,
&C up to the radical abolitionist who
maintained the right and duty of Congress
TO abolish slavery throughout the Union.
The prominent cardinal principle annoupc-
eddy them as a party. common to them
ali, was the non extension of slavery.
The views of the Douglas Democrats, as
expouuded by their author and generally
understood by the country, were based
upoa and intended to develop principle
called popular sovereignty" and may not,
therefore, be described either as pro-slavery
or anti-slavery, but the Organization in
cluded pro-slayery men OF the South, con-
servative men North and South, and per-
haps some Northern men of a mild anti
slavery type.
The Breckinridge Organization was based
on pro- slavery ideas, and contained within
its ranks Southern pro-slavery men and
conservative men North and Souih1 whose
opinions were founded on their interpreia-
tiou of the Constitution and their acquies-
cence in the bred Scott decision.
believe that the Bell and Everett party
were in favor of curlailment of the facili-
ties for the naturalization of foreigners, and
that the organization embraced men of va
rious shades of opinion in relation to slave
ry, but was strongest among Southern men
friendly to that institution. Their pub
lished platform simply declares for the
/" Union, the Constitution rud the Enforce
rnent of the Laws" To complete the emu
meratIon, ought, perhaps, to mention the
Southern disunionists. class of men in
the slave States who for years past have
professed to regard the Union as q curse,
and sought its overthrow as an object de-
sirable and praiseworthY in itself, ayailing
themselves of slavery agitation and every
: other possible pretext to promote their de-
signs. - 49, fs

VcrY FLATTERING ADyICEs FROM THE SALMON
RIVER CouNrRY.-Henry Hooker Esq. has per-
mitted us to make some extracts from letter re-
ceyed on Wednesday from Mr.. FrapcQs I.atre-
moilliere, formerly resideA. of Weayerville :
The letter was written at Portland Francois
having BECOME disguised with the Salmon river
region was on his way to Cariboo. He left Flor
ence City on the 26th Of April at which date
there was from eight to nine feet of snow, and
it was falling furiously when he left He says
there was good prospect for trough old times
when be started Nobody could work during the
winter, and the mines are by no means what they
are supposed to be on the outside. Paying dig
gings do not extend over half mile, and no
new ones had been found. Outside of the imme
diate district worked last summer there were
some four thousand miners prospecting, but with
out SUCCESS There was already much suffering
among the many destitute ones, and gloomy
prospect ahead. He saw Boh Stuart and Jack
Bachelor just before leaving both well. They
had worked diligently whenever they had an op-
portunity, but had not made anything.

The War News.

From the Sacamento Onion of Monday we
gather the following summary Of news. The
dates are to May 10th
Gen. Hunter had proclaimed that the States Of
Georgia, Florida and South Carolina having
declared themselves no longer under the proec-
tion Of the United States, it is military duty
to declare martial law, and that persons hereto
fore held in those States as slaves are declared
forever free. 1t is doubtful wbether this order
was issued with the Presidents sanction, and
whether it will be sustained by the Administra-
ton.
Report says The rebels are repairing damages
at Fort Wright, and that Holiins' ram was not
sunk by Federal gun-boats, as at first reported.
Halleck was slowly advancing on Corinth, and
fortifyiug as he went. Beauregard's force is
estimated at 10000 men. The Memphis Appea'
declares that the only terms on which the South
can accept peace is the recognition of the inde-
pendence not only Of the cotton States, but of
all the border States whose people desire alliance
with the Coufederacy Whether the Government
will enter into any such arrangement remains to
be seen.
Curtis army, or more properly the commands
of Sigel and Asboth, were adv ancing on the CAPT
tai of Arkansas.
Com. Rogers had passed two of tie James
river batteries, one of which he sienced. Slaves
were leaving Maryland for the District of Col
umba A Fredericksburg foundry, until lately
used in casting shot, she'll and cannon for the
Confederate army, is now turning out war mate
rial for the Federal army.
In the u. S. Senate an amendment was adopted
making one Indian reservation in California,
instead of two, by the way Of. retrenchment.-.
Humboldt county will probably be chosen In
fact is nothing but an Indian reservation now.
The Charleston Co,yiy frankly ADMITS the
hopelessness of the rebel cause says the rebel
States are justly punished for their past inquties
The President has issued a proclamation declaring
that after the Isl of June commercial intercourse
may be carried ap with the ports of Beaufort,
Port Royal and New Orleans. Gcn. Wool has
prohibited the distribution of newspapers in
Norfolk, for military reasons.

from Seargt. S0I.hwick, of Co. T, 18th Infantry,
now stationed at Fort Stelacoom, w. T., in which
H. stated that the men had received no pay for
six months. Since then we have received the
S,eilncoom Herald of May lst announcing the
arrival Of t4e Paymastcr, whp settled four months
of the delinquent wages. In connection. the Her
cid pays the Trinity boys the following compl
ment a few of the volunteers were in town

CoaING AND GoING.--The mail steamer ST.

come crowded, those returning seldom carry
more than 200 passengers. Besides, we notice in

We accept your amendment, and add, that
there arc 10 Union men in the world more
deserving of sympathy, encoura cement and sup

should not, therefore, embarrass them with its
anti-slavery recommendations and policy.-PId

I.rT THOSE Fuse WHO WlsH TQ.--California
papers are just now making great ado about
FrsloN--are quarrelling whether the two W ings
of the Democratic party shall again attempt TO
fuse. whether Union Democrats and Republicans
shall fuse, whether ahQitionists and secession
lists shall "mix up" 1t seems to be o fertile
subject, and We are waiting 70 see what will
come of it.
We notice that the Red Bluff Beacon places
the TRINITY JopR%4L among the neutrals" who
are anxously laborng for fusion of the Repub-
lican and pHIQn Democratic parties of this State,
The editor of the Beacon will obllge US by SHOW
ing single line which has even appeared in this
paper advocating any such thing, although we
are well aware that leading State Senators Of the
BedcOns party--Ean Dyke, Qulton, Rhodes,
Gaskell, Chamberlain, Parks Gallagher. Heacock,
and score of Union Democratic Assemblymen,
at caucus in San Francisco, did endorse the call
for State Convention made by the Republican
Central Committee, and recommended loyal
voters to respond thereto.
The coming political campaign is not to be
modelled by previous ones. The platforms of
political parties constantly undergo notifications
concurrent with the course of events, aud the
people will see in this political struggle, the ne
ce-sy of dividing into such parties as will most
fully meet the necessities of the country.
Organization being thing so sacred to Demo-
Gratis of both wings, and both claiming possession
of that hitherto easy handle TO power, precludes
an honest fusion. Any attempt at coalition will
he hollow in its professions, and miscbieyous in
its results and in all probabi lity fusion of Re-

would be the marriage of youth with old age"

The occasion does not call for it. Politicians
may writhe and wriggle on their narrow stools, !
attempt TO revive old associations, call upon old
conventions strut on old platforms, aud cry out
organization" as much as they please, but the
masses look on and respond not The statesman
ship of the people rises above the ideas and
whims Of the petty politicians, and while their
eyes are turned eastward, the attention is partic
ularly to the all absorbing question being decided
by the present war. 1t is, shall the Union be
sustained or severed whether we shall have the
Union and Constitution as it was, with prosperity,
progress, aud happy future, modification
change, adversely, disgrace, and every evil in

organize itself by the spontaneous movement of
