THE BCTrE RECORD continues its vulgar attark
upon Republicans, and seems. to think, with the
Express, that the worst enemies to the [. :. Gov
erument are those who are administering it.
The above is from the Appeal of Tuesday
morning. and it is wilful and malicious mis-
representation. The RECORD supports the
declared policy of the Government in suppress
ing the rebellion, and opposes the Park and
Fremont fusionists, who desire 10 change that
policy for an ultra partizan one. The radical
leaders in Washington, of the false Union
movement, supported by the Appeal, were "as
jubilant as they dared TO be" over the pros
pect Of the defeat of McClellan's army, during
the pendency of the six days fighting on the
Chickahominy. Men who associate with such
radicals are covert traitors to the Government,
and enemies a hundred per cent, more DANCE
rous to the existence OF tie Government than
the armed rebels.
The following is copied approvingly in the
Appeal:
. The radicals are sorely troubled by the recent
tnrn Of Affairs They compelled. a little while ago,
lne passage OF law empowering the President. to
place in command OF our armies any officers with
out regard to seniority of rank. This was intended
to benefit Fremont, and enable Mr.. Lincoln to make
him Commander-in-C Chief in place of Mcclellan
The Democracy are opposing these radicals
who thus compelled the passage of law
for the benefit Of Fremont at the expense of
the army, and the Appeal is acting with them
Il I,,-i,. =. l.
Gals enabled Lincoln TO place Pope over the
imbecile Fremont. The Appeal is acting with
these radicals, under the false cry of a 9 Union
party" the primary elections of which, Park
Fremont's friend and partner has controlled in
San Francisco, and if elected Senator will aid
Fremont in warning against the Government.
Is not the Appeal guilty of hypocrisy, fraud
and deception in preaching Union and fusing
with the radicals Fremont and Park.

illuStrious in the country. kentnckys patriot
and statesman-he who volunteered as phi
vate in the ranks of the Union army, when his
State was hanging in the balance between
Union and disunion-the venerable Crillenden
participated in It's deliberations, as did also the
members of the Border States, whose Unionism
has been tried in the fiery furnace Of rebellion
aud whose loyalty saved he border slave s ates
TO the Union. While supporting the policy
of the Government, as declared in the Crtten-
den resolution these gentlemen only ask the
rejection of such measures by our national
law-givers, as are necessary for the preserya-
ton of our constitutional government. We
commend these resolutions to the attention Of
our readers. as a broad and patriotic basis,
devoid of sectionalism upon which all Union
men can stand. who, like Congress in declaring
the policy of Government. can lay aside all
feeling of mere passion or resentment"

a BUGABoO.-The BUTTE RECORD says that il is
somebody's programme to send 7. ". Park to the

dency. The RECORD is joker.
We find the above copied in the Shasta
Courier. We believe it originally appeared
in the Marysvile Appeal. We will ask the
Couriers attention which, we believe, is dis
posed to be patriotic and right, when not de-
ceiyed-to the following from the Marysville
Appeal, of Sunday morning last. 1t is an
uouucog the result of the primary election in
San Francisco
The primary election last night was spirited
and very large vote poled. The Republican ele-
was in the asceudancy. and majority Of the
delegates elected were in favor OF I. ". Park for
L. s. Senator"
1t is well known that Park is Fremonts
man " Friday" and in favor of Fremont's
Republican policy, in opposition to tie deca-
red policy of the Government. No Democrat
should allow himself TO be trapped into any
such fusion, that is only calculated to aid Re
publicanism to oppose the declared policy Of
the Government.

The Appeal, while denouneing the Breckin-

Breckenridge ticket. Was there ever such a

raseals as these Republican fuSiouists? Is

BroWnlow's Speech.

We are indebted to our excellent Republi-
can Postmaster for copy Of Parson Brown
lows speech, delivered at New York. May 5,
extracts from which We have heretofore pub
lished. Brownlow Is patriot, and Union
man, and the Republicans Of this State have
seized upon so much of bis speeches as are not
directed against them, which they publish and
circulate as campaign documents, TO deceive
the people of California into the belief that he
is acting with them. In the present case. the
Parsons speech has the following Endorsement
of Nathaniel Holland and Alfred Barstow,
Chairman and Secretary of the Republican
fusion State committee
Read the burning words Of that true patriot
ParSon BroEniOw, and judge whether the monster
Secession shall be a welcome guest at Your FIRE
sides. If the picture does not please-if you are
not enamored with the mOnstroEs wickedness OF
this most caGSeless rebellion then recollect that
the remedy. so far our State IS concerned IS in
your own hands. Support none but Union men
Union men without IT,. or - bGt. and
YOU viii have done what Won could 70 preserve orr
Golden state from the stain OF treason and rebel-
lion.
All that is very fine as an electioneering
trick. Ii is but half the truth, however. The
Parson, being true patriot and Union man,
does not stop with the unqualified repudiation
of secession and rebellion. He repudiates Re
publicauism as well as secession, as every man
must who desires the preservation of the
Union. The Republican State committee
circulate what the patriotic Parson says
against secessionists, but careful not to
circulate what he says against Republicans.
Here is what the Parson told the Republicans,
at Cincinnati, Ohio, in q recent speech before
them. Why don't the Republican fusion State
committee of California, if they would have
the State indorse the position occupied by
Brownlow, give what he says against Repub-
leans while indorsing what be says against
SecessioniSts
- have to say that two years ago if | had been
authorized TO hunt up and collect them would
have selected about one or two hundred Republi-
cans and about equal number of God-forsaken
helldeserving disunionists, | would have marched
them TO the District of Columbia, | would then
have dug ditch-a common ditch-and wrapped
up THAR bodies in gypsum weeds and dog fennel
and buried them there. Had this been done then |
