CoERcIoN. 1.-THE Union Of these States
cannot be preserved by the exercise Of
the coercive pnwer conided to the Cen
eral Government"
The above extract from the Farewell
address of Gen. jackson, March 4, 1887,
is cogcnt evidence of the Interchangeable
maxim, that no government, not even the
strongest. can exist unless based upon
the res. ect and affections Of the people
If Gen. Jackson were living he would be
Stigmatized as copperhead and traitor
for speaking against coercion. The men
who pursued him with curses to the
grave, now hyPocritically praise him,
yet they villify those who follow his ex-
ample and believe in his teachings.

ABOLITION COUNTY CONVENTION After a
protFacted, exciting and qnarrelsome session,
this disinterested, patriotic and intelligent body
closed its labors last Saturday evening. Many
Of the delegates were disappointed. a majority
disguised, and all dissatisfied with its proceed,
ings. The ticket nominated by this Cnnven.
tion is "beautiful mixture of discordant ele
ments"-of Puritans and blacklegs"-uf Alb
olitiOnists and secessonsts s-of Loyal Leaguers
and Knights Of the Golden Circle. Men who
hate and despse each other-we have heard
them 90 express themselves but recently-are
running on the same ticket aud seemingly
working 1eslOusly for each other. Before the
election duplicity and knavery. AbolitIonists
and secessionists may reconcile their differ
ences and harmonise, but the chances are
against such reconciliation. There was too
much bitterness of feeling engendered in the
Convention, too much jealousy, rivalry and
vindictvenpss manifested, too much trading
and selling, to be speedily and easily alayed
The friends of Conness canno: forget that they
were mercessly slaughtered bv the "straghts;'
the friends Of EusmDger and Burnham remem,
Der that they were sold by pretended friends.
The Greasy Butcher" poor though he be and
defeated, has power, and may make that power
formidable against the men who slandered aud
betrayed him. Conness' friends are not the

place hunters and their underStlapp~r
are laboFiRG 2e9lnu>ly To distract and di-
vide us. They are again trying their Old
game of seducing Democrats from their
party organization by the alleged neces,
Sity Of so called Loyal Leagues. Let
Democrats remember that the founders Of
these Leagues are Abolition traitors Of
the John Brown School-Sumncr, Phil
lips, Garrison, Wade ard Fred Douglass.
Let Democrats exercise more vigilance
than ever. Let them never entertain, for
single moment, with willing car, the
crafty suggestions Of party that has al,
ways opposed and persistently traduccd
them. Above all things, let then never
confound their own pure and law adhcr,

dangerous party dogmas Of their adverse.

Up AND DoIXG.-From all parts Of the
county we receive the most cheering in
telligence Of the activity and enthusiasm
and confidence of tue Democracy. With
good ticket, such as we intend to nomi-
nate, we will sweep the county. A Pleas
ant Valley correspondent, under date OF
the 18th, says "The Democracy here
are all right. The Abolition sneaks aud
kinky heads of this vicinity, as it seems
they have in other portions Of the county,
ever true to the dark instincts OF their
party, and always ready and willing to DO
the bidding of their masters-have lately
formed some sort Of midnight assOcia'
ton or league, and in the dead hour Of The
night may be seen sneaking of to their
rendezvous TO meet in secret cOnclave, and
concoct and mature their nefariOus de-
signs. They dare not meet their oPpo-
nents and discuss the questions at issue
in the broad light Of day. The concern
here was gotten up under the auspices oi
a fellow we'll known in this community as
a sort of professional juggler and hummer
generally. having formerly, understand.
practised in q small way the magic art
A fit and appropriate teacher and leader
for the Blacks. But the days Of this mid
night Abolition party are numbered in this
State. The people are fast awakening to
a proper sense Of their danger, and every
day now the Democratic party-the only
true Union party-is growing stronger
and more harmonious. Let every Demo
crat be wide awake and do his duty, aud
we will wipe out the secret midnight Ab-
olition conSpiratOrs. We are determined
to make the ballot mightier than the bay

ABOLITION STATE CoNvENTIoN-This
body of Federal and county officials and
bankrupt politicians met in Sacramento
on "Wednesday. Stanford, repudiated by
his party or victimized by ConnesS, did
not allow his name to be presented be-
fore it for denomination. Low and Sar.
geant were the competitors for the nomi-
nation for Governor, and ConnesS' man
Low distanced the Nevada upstart. On
Thursday Machin was nominated for
Lieutenant Governor Shannon, Highly
and Cole for Congress; B. B. Redding,
for Secretary Of State Pacheco for Treas
urer Oulton, for Controller; J. G. Nc
Cullough (of wardrobe notoriety) for At
torney General; Hartman for Clerk Of
the Supreme Court; Clayes for State
Printer, and Houghton for Surveyor Cen

in repudiating the migrate and apoState

worthless ticket in every particular, was
never presented to the people of Califor-

THE EFFECTS OF WAR.-The evils OF
war are beginning to be seriously felt in
the Northern States. In Michigan there
is so great scarcity of labor that the wo-
men are compelled to perform field work !;
and in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio similar
results are seen. Even in New England
the un American spectacle of females TIL
ling the soil is no njvel occurrence, and
in Connecticut women of good education
and address cultivate their farms in the
absence of their sons, husbands and other
male relatives who have gone to the war
too many Of them, alas never to re-.
turn.

extracted from the last speech made by
Stephen A. Douglas 1t was delivered in
the City of Chicago, only a few weeks be-
fore his death. For uttering similar sen

as traitors and threatened with the ven
geance Of the Administration

rights. The innocent must not suffer, nor
women and children be the victims. Saw

CENTRALIzING.-The AbOlitionists are
determined to carry out their doctrine of
Capitalization. They are not only in fa-
vor Of strong central Government, but
are evidently determined to centralize the
emouments of office and thereby build
up an aristocracy in the land. This is
shadowed forth by some of their recent
nominations. They have just nominated
the Collector of the Port of San Francisco
for Governor Of the State, and in our own
county the two most prominent FeIeral
officials were nominated for lucrative Of
fees over competitors Of equal or greater
merit than their own. This speaks for
itself and shows conclusively that the
conspirators are aiming to make the mass
cs hewers of wood and drawers of water
to a chosen few.

REPCDIATED THE action OF the late
Abolition County Convention was sirgu-
larly significant and suggestive. Every
representative from this county who vot-
ed for Conness for the United States Sen
ate. and who came before it for nomina.
tion, was shamefully and diSgracefully
beaten--bcaten by men Of straw. Har-
vey and Saxton, late Senator's, with tears
in their eyes, implored the delegates to
indorse their course by again nominating
them for their old positions, but it was
useless. DR.. Burr piteouSly begged them
to nominate him for the Assembly and
made several efforts to get the nomination,
but all to no purpose. All these patriotic
Union howlers were backed by the
Court House clique" but their Abolition
allies "were too many for them" The
straights," under the leadership of the
undaunted Wicks and the popular but be-
traved and unfortunate "Sam the butch
err" rather maliciouSly remarked that
they had no favors to bestow upon men
who "wore Conness' collar" Out Of
sympathy and to keep the party together,
We use their own language, they nomi-
mated few of Conness' friends, but de-
feated his favorites-IIunter, Harvey,

Costly LUXURY. pays,
and the people arc ruinously taxed to
raise the money, upwards of a million of
dollars a month to support idle contra
bands. Gen. Banks, referring to the diff
ficulty of supporting the Louisiana ne.
groes unemployed, says that "more than
sixty thousand dollars were applied to
the support of dependent and destitute
contrabands in the month of April" The
Administration finds plenty of money to
support unemployed negroes, but not a
cent to pay off the white soldiers who
are fighting the country's battles.

Democratic State Convention.
On the 9Th of July, the Democratic
State Convention, called in accordance
with the request and by the representa-
tives Of both wings Of the Democratic
party, ignoring past issues, convenes at
Sacramento. Our County Convention
meets next Thursday, and it promises to
be large and enthusiastic. We may be
permitted to call the attention Of the De-
mocracy, and the conservative men who
may feel inclined to affiliate with them in
the patriotic effort to place the State Gov.
ernment in the hands Of the friends Of
the Constitution and the Union Of our
fathers, 70 the subject of representation in
the State Convention. 1t is now more
than ever desirable that the Convention
should be full, and that the strong, sound,
able, prudent and fearless men Of the
State should be sent to it. There never
was a time when wisdom, moderation,
prudence and patriotism were SO impe-
riously demanded in our deliberations and
action upon public affairs; and there nev.
er was time when such momentous re-
spG nSibilities rested upon the Democracy
and those conservative and patriotic men
who still cherish a devotion to the Con-
stltution and the Union. Upon their ju-
dicious action probably depends the issue
of the election in this State it is in their
power to determine whether the influence
of California, in Congress and out, shall
continue to be exerted in favor of that
destructive policy which is avowedly in
conflict with the Constitution and sure to
result IN national ruin, or whether it shall
be given in support Of the Constitution
and the restoration of the Union This is
the only issue to be presented in the cleo
ton, and its importance will be appre.
ciated by all who appreciate the value Of
free institutions and constitutional protec-
ton. Such being the fact, the grave re-
sponSibiity resting upon the conservative
men of the Statcis obvious; it is in their
power to place the State upon the side
Of the Constitution, and the Union,-
and if they fail to do it, they will fail in
the most important duty which ever rest
ed upon patriotic citizens.
The first step to the performance of this
great duty is the selection Of men to rep
resent them III the State Convention to be
held at Sacramento on the 9Th of next
month. Select the right men, and the
right action will be taken; and then, if it
is followed up in a proper manner, the
right result will inevitably follow in Sep
tember. After our candidates are in the
field we must give to them hearty sup

late documents, and, with a fixed reso-
lutencss to conquer, march on to victory
