The Unity Of the Democratic Party.

The movement Initiated by the Democracy
OF this county, having for its object the unity
Of the party throughout the State, seems to
have met with that reception which we had
fondly hoped and anticipated. From every
portion d The State which has been heard
from. comes the cheering Intelligence OF its in
doTSement by aeclamaiion. Thank God that
sach is the Tact Let the good work proceed
until it shall have been perlected-until the
schism Of the past shall be remembered only
to be forgotten. Then, with an unbFokeu front
and serried ranks 10 cause no less high and
holy than that which fred the hearts and
nerved the arms Of those who founded the
Government, they eau meet the Anatical CO.
horts Of aoo.ilionism and vioiators of the Con.
stiiation aad civil liberty with the most san
guiae hopes, # uot the certainty Of success.
There is everything to cheer and encourage
the Democracy of California. Their p5inci.
pies and political ljeuis are in the asceudancv

make one vigorous aud determined effort to

The following Is 81 extract from a speech
delivered By S L. Warner. an abolition candi-
date for Congress il Connecticut, during tie
recent campaign:
Damn the Constitution We hare not
had any for the last two years, and il never
ought to have been adopted | an f1r put
ting q! power in the hauds Of the President
The abolitiouist Of this State, or what is the
same th!ng.-the so-e4lled Union party
have not yet dared to be quite 50 frank il tie
expression Of their sentiments. Occasionally,
however, when cornerei IN an argument. they
bIurt them out, and show tie e!oven foot
Evea the cautious Marysvilie Appeal. the or
gan Of the party does Dot hesitate 10 grumble
about the Government having been ''hampered
by written Constitution aud rejoices over
the TACT that the war was 10. closed by the
campaign under Gen Mcclellan. for the reason
that death blow would not. under such cir
cumstanees. have been giyea to slavery
Think one moment, reader. upon the utter alb
surdity Of the idea Of the Government being
" hampered by the Constitution Just as
though we had Federal Government inde-
pendent Of the Federal Constitution But
more absurd still, if possible is the idea that
" old Abe" or any of bis party. have been in
the least hampered by that dusty old
parchment, the Democratic Bible He and
they have driven through it, and smashed
it into smithereens. wherever and whenever
that glorious old instrument has interfered
with the accomplishment OF their fauaiical and
nefarious purposes To stop them in their
mad career, to preserve involate the charter
Of cur civil liberties and to restore, if possible
the once happy Union which they have been
mainly instrumental in disrupling, are the sole
aims aud purposes of the Democratic party.
OyE of the great errors, or crimes of the
present Administration, has been its war upon
those of cur people who were disposed to
jealousy guard the great principles of liberty
which underlie onr whole political and civil
fabric, while engaged in suppressiBg armed
treason. The Administration " has endeavor-
ed to ape the strength of arbitrary govern
ments, and has acted as if it had an interest
and power separate from the people. 1t has
seemed to imagine that it possessed the sove-
reign power and was engaged In a conflict
with the people of the Union States, who de
sired to wrest it from them" But for this
course on the part of the Administration, the
rebellion had long since been put down. To
deny this is to claim that the rebels are more
powerful, if not so numerous, than those who
support the Union cause. The people of the
Union States constitute the sovereign power
of the Government, and it is only necessary
for the Administration to become conscious of
its true character as the servant of the peo-
pie, and act upon it, to render it successful
and irresistible, as at Forts Henry and Don
nelson. when the Administration ordered en-
listments to cease.
