DEAocRATIc MEETiNG.-We have been in
formed that copperhead meeting was held
at Millville, ia this county, last Saturday, and
that speeches were made by Messrs. Chip
man and Rhodes, of Bed Bluff, in which these
speakers made use of language of the most
denunciatory kind against the Administra-
ton, and the conduct of our Government in
the prosecution ofthe war against the traitors
in the south. Several ladies were present at
the meeting, one of whom was Union lady.
9. The most abusive, dirty and blackguard
language was used by the speakers-so much
so that the feelings of the ladies were out
aged. 1t would seem that as soon as a man
imbibes the spirit of secession he looses all
regard for truth or honesty, and has no res
pect for virtue or morality. and to illustrate
what Southern chivalry is, must vomit forth
the filthy slang of the brothel in the hearing
of loyal citizens whenever opportunity pre-
seats itself. Ifthis conduct is not stopped
there will be muss in this State before
many months, for Union men will not long
permit such conduct to go unpunished

Union Primary Election.

Ga the 9Th day of June next the loyal
Union men Of Shasta county will assemble in
their respective precincts for the purpose of
electing delegates to the Union County Con-
yention, to be held in Shasta on the 10th of
June, to nominate candidates for County of
fees, to be voted for at the next general elec
sion in September, and also to select dele
gates to the State Union Convention, to be
held in Sacramento on the 18th of Juae. and
to elect delegates to the Judicial District Con-
vention and Senatorial District Convention.
The great Importance of the next election
to the people of this State should be a sufi-
eient inducement to COMPEL the attendance
of every lover of his country, to take part in
the primary meetings, as it is for those who
are chosen as delegates to the County Con-
vention to determine who shall be nominated
to the several Offices, State and County, for
their support at the ballot box. Then let
every voter take an active part in these pri
mary meetings, and see that none but uncon-
ditional Union men are chosen to represent
them in Convention, for if copperhead is elec
ted as delegate they may be sure that he
will try to nominate copperhead to some
of the Offices, for the purpose of disgracing
the Union party. or create dissatisfaction
among the Union men so as to advance the
interests of some Independent candidate who
refuses to submit his name to the Convention,
because he is not sound upon the main ques
tion, and is afraid to declare openly to the
people his undivided support of the Admins
tration and present conduct of the war.
The next election will be enc Of the most
important ever held in this State. Under
the amended Constitution every officer of the
State, and every District. County, and Town
ship in the State, are to be elected and un-
less the people elect true Uuion men to these
positions, great and important dangers await
the future of this peaceful State. Let it be
said by each voter: We will have no seces-
sionest or copperhead to conduct the affairs
of State for the next four years, bet our SER
vents shall be those who are openly known to
be for granting every aid in their power to
the Administration in whatever COL ,se IL may
see fit to pursue in crushing out the traitors
who infcst our country. "Eterual vigilance
is the price of liberty.

PoL1TIcAL ScRIAMAGE.-The other day, at
Watson Gulch, In the southern part of this
county, violent secessionest, by the name
of Griffin, commenced cursing the Admins
trataa. Abe Linkin, and denonncing the
war and all Union men, when true Union
man, named James Drew, formerly from
New Hampshire, after enduring all the abuse
he could stand from the traitors lips told
him he must stop talking in that manner in
his presence. But secesh thought he could
whip about to l, aud he kept on with his
slang, when Drew threw off and knocked him
down, and finally, after scrimmage, sue
ceeded in compelling him to keep civil
tongue in his head.
The time has come when these worshippers
of the traitor Davis will not be allowed to in
suit the ear of Union men with impunity, and
if the officers do not enforce the law against
this class of persons, the people will resent
the insult in the shortest manner possible.
