Republican Reputation.

II emancipation Is ever accomplished in the
slave States, it must be effected By degrees
by process which would require years to
work lis legitimate results Abolition. imme-
date ard violent. IS impracticable. War,
continued through a series OF years. might
possibly accomplish that result but even under
the pressure Of war the cause of emancipation
has not advanced rapidly. Even the procla-
nation has added but few to the number OF
emaacipated slaves beyond the number who
would have been liberated by the operation OF
military laws aud the enforcement OF tie Goa
fscation Bill
Had we pat forth such language as this
upon our own authority, all of the epithetz in
the Republican vocabulary would have been
heaped upon Us with a crushing force. Bu,
comnlirg from the columns of the Sacramento
Union. it is law and Gospel to Leagners OF the
State. This change Of position by that paper
was induced By the remarks of Gerrit Smith
in speech lately made at Utica, New York.
Gerrit is now in favor Of the Union, with
slavery. He wants peace and Union. and, OF
course, is modern . copperhead." This lan
guage of the selfstyled Union journal of the
State knocks the proclamation into a cooked
hat, and says the Presidents policy of eman-
cipation is impracticable. &c. Now, this
looks like reputation, and coming from the
source it does, is significant Of the changes
taking place in the Republican camp. But
NJ. p Conway, who is an out aud out aboli-
tiOnist, aud his ilk hereabouts, repudiate the
doctrine of Gerrit Smith aad Of the Sacramen-
to Union Conway says, Il went into the
anti-savery business earnestly and on the pre-
sumption that was acting with honest men
men who hated slavery aad who were deter
mined to cast it ont, come what might l find
that as to many have been deceiyed-I fnd
that these men want power and care for no.
thing else, and that, for the sake of power,
they would kill all the white people OF the
South, or take them to their arms that they
would free all the slaves or make their bondage
still more hopeless"
This is from the honest side of the Republi-
can party they want disuuion or the extinc-
ton of slavery. He says again: =" As to the
Union, would not give a cent for it unless it
stood as guarantee for freedom to every man,
woman and child in this entire jurisprudence. y
Still this party prate long and loud about their
loyalty,-and see traitors on all sides who will
not join their unholy Leagues.

Who Are Tories p?

We call attention to our correspondence
from Bangor 1t shows how the Republicans
are trying to make the cat jump to suit their
purposes. During the Revolution, the Tories.
who gave unqualified support to the Admin
istration of George the H." formed them>
selves into Loyal Leagues and were known
through the contest as Loyalists" The up.
holders of arbitrary power, and of acts opposed
to freedom, naturally take the same course and
adopt the same terms. The present Tories are
forming so-called Union. Leagues = but all
candid men must admit that their action is on
y for personal political power. Democrats
need no secret and oath-bound political organ
zation to show their fidelity to the Govern
ment of The Country-their acts are open and
aboveboard, subject to the inspection of reason
and common sense. The upholders Of arbitra-
ry power are the only ones who in this en-
Hghtened day, under a free government, find it
necessary to form Secret Leagues to carry
out their ideas of government resting upon
the will of the people. These Tories have
adopted the same system as that of the Thugs
of India, to bear them through their nefarious
trickery with the masses, in mingling them in
to an association they will despise when they
experience its effects
Beware of all secret oath-bound political
leagues in our government; they will prove
Subversive of its principles by elevating IN,
worthy political demagogues to power, at the
expense of the freedom of the people. Secret
political organization of party has been tried
in our day, and the people learned to despise
It. Why, then, try to renew it under more
spccious name, but led on by the same eharac
ter of designing demagogues who are seeking
political place and power. 1t appears that
candidates for office, aud especially for judicial
honors are the leaders Of this base strategy to
deceive.

Birth OF American Liberty.

Eighty seven years ago 10 day, the dawn Of
destined BY Heaven TO be the home of consti-
tional liberty. At noon. on the 4th day of
July, 1916, the Declaration of American indie
pendence was adopted By the Continental
Congress. aud at ere Of that memorable day
it was proclaimed to en- exaltaut newborn Ia
ton That Instrument lays down the basis Of
our political system, aud declares that gov
ernments, among meH. derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed = and lis re-
nowned author, Mr. Jefferson, adopted as his
political motto, on its proclamation, that, Re
sistance to tyrants is obedience TO God. =
Since that period. 50 big with events, the
principle of selfgoverument has progressed
and triamphed among Us as a nation until We
have challenged the admiration of the world.
But, alas the dreaded monster of geographi-
cal parties has of late reared its warlike head
in our once peaceable aud happy country, and
the solemn warning Of the Father Of our Coun-
try comes home to US with its apprehensions
of the danger of dissolution to our sisterhood
Of States. Iu our too rapid career Of prosperi
ty and greatness as nation, we have lost
sight of the wise teachings OF Washington,
and forgotten the philosophy he left US to
guide our people and avert from them the
blood, bitterness, ferociIy and barbarity Of
civil, fratricidal strife and war We had for
gotten that be told US " that our Union ought
to be considered as 2 main prop of our liberty"
but on the contrary, have permitted and per-
haps encouraged the propagation of those doc
trines and ideas and isms which only seem TO
engender strife and give specious reason and
cause of dissolution to the enemies of Union
that should be indssouble as long as liberty
is permitted to have spot on earth to call
her home.
Let not the patriot, today, forget, amid the
celebrations of our natal day of independence,
a prayer to the God of nations to stay the
bloody hand of civil, fratricdal war, that is
laying low thousands upon thousands of the
chosen sons of freedom; that peace honorable
and just, may again pervade our once happy
land, and that the Union blessed by Washing
ton and begotten by our fathers. may again
be restored in its vigor and prosperity

STRANGE CoNDUCr OF HooKER. - In the
darkest hour of his country's peril, and when
she demanded the heaviest sacrifices from her
sons. Gen. Hooker asked the President to be
relieved of the command of the Army of the
Potomac, aud his request was granted If the
telegraph has detailed the truth, this action of
Gen. Hooker can only be excused or justified
upon the ground Of his deemiog himself incom.
petent to meet the bold and soIdlerly movements
of Lee. To resign III the face of an enemy is
always disgraceful. To resign when that enc.
my is pressing hard upon you and threatening
instant battle is cowardly, unless justified upon
the ground above named. Ii is due TO Hooker
to say that when be assumed the command Of
the army, that he questioned his own capacity;
but, although he urged this to the War De.
partment. they, however, took the responsible,
ty and held him in the position that be did
not coyet. Since the days of Mcclellan, the
Army of the Potomac has seen no success
that II has not become dispirited is wonder
to the military world. With its new com.
mander, Gen. Meade, ii stands and moves as a
iorlorn hope to the country, aad every patriot
is watching for its success under skllful
soldier although he is without prestige as an
active warrior. Hooker's retirement, we sup.
pose, under the circumstances, will deprive
the country of his services as General of
division, where he won his laurels, and which
position be iled with ability and success. As
Cahtornians, we would ike to see him at the
head Of bis old division.

G. l.. NALLANDIGHAM.-Our abolition friends
in Orovile, who thanked God that VallaDdig
ham had been arrested, and appIauded that
tyranieal outrage upon the liberties of the
American people, went ahead of their leaders.
They should have waited for the opinions of
Greeley, Phillips, and Fred. Douglass. The
y. Y. Tribune says;
I'VE don't exactly see how Mr. V. is to be
lawfully punished for making bad speech
unless by compelling him to make it to empty
seats.
We agree fully with Gen. Burnside that
Val. ought not to make such speeches-that
he ought TO be ashamed of himself-but then
he wiH make them and 'front.' be ashamed-so

With abolition Republicans, nothing is ties
