SAN FRANCISCO, May %.
The two wings of the California Democracy,
formerly known as the Douglas and Breckin-
ridge Democrats, and latterly as the war and
peace Democrats, are making overtures for
fusion on the State ticket. There is some
prospect that they will meet each other half
way on platform, the main feature of which
is opposition to the Administration. The
Union party is holding primary elections prior
TO the It'll of June State Convention. The
contest is mainly between ExCongressman
Low and Gov. Stanford, who are the leading
candidates for the Governorship. A nomina-
ton by the Union party is deemed equivalent
to an election, hence great Importance is at
tached to the primary elections, and there is a
very vigorous struggle in each county.

to battle for the right. We must cling to
the Constitution and uphold it as the en-
blem of our liberties, and the only sign
under which we can conquer the foe or
still the waves of Eanaticism, which con-
tinue to distract the harmony and unity
of our people. We must not, now that
we are stricken down, abandon the prin-
ciplcs we have cherished; but with in
creased energy we must reassert our rights
and fearlessly discuss the political acts of

party, thus purified, is stronger to-day
than it was one year ago; and it is upon
this belief that we base hope in the

TIE CHARGES AGAINST RosECRANs.-
The following manly and touching extract
from a private letter written by General
Rosecrans to friend in Washington will
carry with it to all who read it the con-
viction that he has been hardly used by
the administration press, In the charges
they made SO loosely against him to justi-
fly his removal from the command of the
Army of the Cumberland. He writes !:
'' As to my remov:l from the command
of the Army of the Cumberland, have
only to say that pray God that the
country may be as well and better served
by another. AS for the infamous lies
which are put forth through the press to
blast my reputation, such as disabling
mental disease, the use of opium, disobe-
dience of orders III not advancing when
ordered, in waiting for reinforcements,
etc., etc, if thought they came from our
government would despair Of nation
headed by such government That the
people will accept them, or that God will
prosper their authors, do not believe.
Personally j commend myself to the just
and merciful One, who knows what is the
best for me-, .. .... E.z
Id That Generals Grant or Thomas may
prove better commanders than General
Rosecrans may prove true, and if so, the
administration will be justified in making
the change but it is monstrous that these
shameful charges should be put forth
semi-officially if there is no foundation for
them. The sympathies of the public will
be with the deposed General in this mat
ter-N Y. World.

eg- A Lesson TO PREACHERS The
following extract from the pen of Edmund
Burke, might be given as a lesson TO men
who pretend to be ministers of the Gospel;
but who, instead of preaching Christ, and
"Him crucifed," turn their pulpits into
political rostrums, to dabble in the pool of
partisan strife.
Politics and tie pulpit are terms that
have little agreement No sound ought
to be heard in the church but the healing
voice of Christian charity. The cause of
ciul liberty and cir1t government gains as
little as that of religion by this confusion
of duties. Those who quit their proper
character to assume what does not belong
to them, are, for the greater part ignorant
both of the character they leave and the
character they assume. Wholly unac-
quainted with the world in which they are
SO fond of meddling, and inexperienced in
all its affairs, on which they pronounce
with so much confidence, they have moth
ing of politics but the passions they ex-
cite"
