The Late Confederate state Convention.

EDITOR COURIER :-Tallyrand once said that the
proper Of language TO- conceal, not to ex-
press ones thoughts. This idea Of speech seems TO
have been adopted by the present Copperhead Dem
ocracy-that is. if they are loyal, as they would
have us believe. If they are true to the Govern
nent, and opposed TO the REBELLION their language
in their recent gathering in Sacramento, does not
express it but. the contrary, efectually con-
ceals it from the most searching Investigation. If
they believe the rebellion be unholy, and cause
less in its inception, wicked in its prosecution and
the work of unscrupulous and dangerous men to
disrupt the Union and subver this liberal and
democratic government, we fail 10 find evidence of
such belief in their intercourse one with another
their party platforms and resolutions, or in their
speeches before the assembled delegates of either
|their County or State Conventions.
Meeting together in Sacramento City on the sth
inst while yet the horrors of an interuecine strife
are in the land-while yet the most gigantic and
iniquitons rebellion exists within the borders Of
the Union, they utter not word condemnatory of
the rebels or the unhallowed cause in which they
are engaged, nor word of cheer or encouragement
for the Government in its efforts to overcome them
While gathering there, from Siskiyou to San Diego,
.he most welcome tidings to loyal hearts borne
the continent flashes over the wires from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The eagles of victory again
perch upon the banner of the Republic. Meade
is victorious and yicksburg has fallen. But not a
cheer comes from the good, patriotic CopPeEheads
assembled.-not resolution of congratulation, not
a syllable of exutation among these "Unoa" men.
Shades of Washington. Webster and Clay is this
the Unionisn, the patriotism you taught? Spirit
of Jefferson and Jackson is this the Democracy
you ineulcated?
But more than this. While this glorious freight
rye of news was yet sending thrill through all
loyal hearts; while almost simultaneously in old
Independence Hall, Philadelphia, at Bunker Hill,
at Lexington, AMI at Saratoga (soi conseerated by
our revolutionary sircs), and here where the sbad-
ows of the Sierras fall on the habitations of our
people yes, wherever loyalty has abiding place
and Democracy home, the cannon were
booming, the flags flying, and the people rejoicing
in language and action that all the political Tally
rands of the day could not have disciplined them to
conceal, and at this precise hour the Confederate
Democracy of California, in Convention assembled,

liant successes achieved by the valor of the Union

Natural Fruits af Copperhead Teachings

The great riot which occurred in New
York is the natural result of the seditious
doctrines advocated by snch men as Fernan-
do Wood, Vallandigham and their followers,
and we see the fruits Of their teachings Illus
trated by mob entering the Government
enrolling Office, destroying all the enrolling
books and papers, and maltreating the Off
GERS engaged in carrying out the laws of Con
gress, in time of open rebellion. Let the
teachings of such men as lead the factious
Copperheads in this State be carried out and
we shall have the same outrages committed
here. They talk loud about being in favor
of the Constitution as it is, but advise open
resistance to the legally constituted authori-
ties, who are engaged in carrying out the
laws of Congress, and encourage each one of
their followers to resolve himself into Su
preme Court, and decide what is or what is
not constitutional. according to their individ-
uol interests We heard one of these Cop
perheads, delegate to the late County Con-
vention, say the other day that the President
inflicted the Constitution, by making arbitra-
ry arrests under pretense Of military neces-
sity, and we will venture the assertion that
he never read the Constitution in his life.
When any party so far forget their duty as
American citizens as to advise resistance to
the execution of laws passed by Congress.
simply because they do not accord with their
n - r
law abiding citizen to look to it that such a
party does not obtain control Of our State
government, MS the spoils of Office is what
they are after, whitewashed under the cry
of the q Constitution as it is, while all the
time they are advising against sustaining the
Government, which derives its sole authority
from the Constitution and laws Of Congress.
THE 0ATH FOR ATTORNEYS CONSTITUTIONAL.
The Supreme Court of this State have de-
cided in the case of Cohen vs. Wright, that
the oath prescribed by the last Legislature
for Attorneys at-Law and teachers of com-
mon schools, is constitutional. 1t will be re-
membered that the copperaeads have declar
ed tins law unconstitutional, ana Iod hoDin-
son, one of the candidates of the Confederate
Democracy for Judge of the Supreme Court,
declared he never would take the oath, and
that be would continue to practice law in the
several Courts notwithstanding. j. D. Mix,
the Confederate candidate for District Attor-
ney in this county, publicly endorsed the sen.
tinents of Robinson on the question, and de-
clarea he would not take the oath prescribed
for Attorneys. And yet these men have the
assurance to claim to be in favor of maintain
ing the Constitution and laws, and openly
declare that they will not conform to its pro-
visions. How beautifully the laws would be
enforced, with such men in responsible off,
ces.

THE CoPPERHEAD JUNTA.-This Junta of
conspirators against our Government have
been holding a carnival upon the street cor
ners and bye places of this town during the
past week, the principle center of attraction
being John r. Ridge the secession editor of
the Trinity Treason Mill, yclept National,
who has been in town soliciting support for
that rebel sheet during the political cam
paisn. 1t is surprising what doses of vile
abuse some of the candidates On the Confed.

heretofore pretended to be Union men, have
had to take, without murmur, or the cour.
age to virdicate their brethren of the North,
wao are now engaged in maintaining ii e

and their sympathizers. These candidates
will sacrifice their manhood for the sake of
obtaining the votes of secessionists.

EDITOR COURIER Below l send you an

soldier in the Federal army, which, if you
see lit, you can publish in your paper. The
writer has been in the army for nearly two
years, is young man of more than ordinary
abilities, and is now, always has been, and
ever expects to be Democrat. Let the
Copperheads hear what our Democratic SOL
diers think of them. He says:
Copperheadism is at low eth among SOL
diers They feel as though there is no sym
pathy to be had fr m those we left behind.
The Proclamation has no particular charms
for me, but that matters nothing. | want
this war brought to a close, no. by dishonor
ably compromising, hut by crushing the reb-
els out at the point of the bayonet. The SOL
diers despise all traitors at home. and scorn
their sympathy, knowing that they are will
fully taking the most effectual course in their
power to strengthen the hands of our enc.
mics and weaken those of the Government
Let traitors beware for if tie a, mics now
in the field live to go home, terrible will be
the punishment OF those who are striving to
weaken and embarrass the nation. thereby
prolonging this war. | am heartily tired of
hearing so much said Talk less and fight
more should be the maxim. Let our forces
go to fighting in earnest. and in three months
we can wipe out this blot upon our nation
and restore it to peace.

CHINESE RoBBER KILLED.-On Monday
night last Chinese robber and thief made
an attack upon another Chinaman, in China
town. and after pulling his victim into his
house, drew a large knife and ordered him to
deliver up his money, which was accordingly
done. The Chinaman attacked had between
two and three hundred dollars in purse,
which he gave up, but in some way the parse
fell to the ground, and while the robber was
stopped over to pick it up, the party attacked
drew revolver and shot the robber through
the body, from the effects of which he died.
The party robbed delivered himself up to the
officers, and on Tuesday an inquest was held
on the body Of deceased, when the Coroner's S
jury found from the evidence that tho party
attacked was jus tiied in the killing, and the
prisoner was discharged.

Rebel Propositions to Hang the sDutch''
Soldiers

We call the attention of the Germans who,
through mistaken ideas, are working with
the Confederate Democracy to destroy the
best Government that ever existed, to the
rights that will be guaranteed to them
by the Southern Aristocracy. They not
only hold the-'' niger" equal to the Dutch, -
as they term them. but superior, as will be
seen from the following extract taken from
the Knoxville, Tenn, Register of June 18th.
Can any German with proper respect for
himself or his nation, assist by his vote a
party who is in sympathy and aiding such
men, and who would hang them by regi-
ments because they are 8. inferior to Sambo?''
We think rot:
OF late, in all battles and in all recent in.
curslons made by Federal cavalry, we have
found the great mass of Northern soldiers
to consist Of Dutchmen. The piundering
thieves captured by Forrest, who stole half
the leweiry and watches in n dozen coun-
ties OF Alabama, were immaculate Dutchman.

cending to heaven, has distended the nos
trlls OF the Negro, is as unmistakable as
that peculiar to polecat, an old pipe. or Il
lager beer saloon. Crimes, thelts. and in
suits to the women Of the South, invariably
mark the course Of these sinking bodies Of
sour kraut. Rosecrans limselfis an unmix-
ed Dutebman, an accursed race which has
overrnn the vast districts of the country of
the Northwest
1t happens that we entertain greater dc.
gree of respect for an Ethiopian in the ranks
OF the Northern armies, than fer an odorifcr-
Gus Dutehman. who can have no pos sible in
tereSt i this revolution Why not hang
every Dutchman captured? We will, here
after, hang, shoot Or impris0n for life all white
men taken in command ofnegroes themselves.
This is not harsh. No human being viii as
sert the contrary. Why. then. should we not
hang DUtchman, who deserves infinitely
less Of our sympathy than Sambo? The live

SIsKIYoU CONFEDERATE TIcKET.-The cour.
ty ticket nominated by the Siskiyou Confed.
crate Democracy being so odious to the peo-
pie Of that county, that in order to preserve
a show of a party at the coming election the
Central Committee took it upon themselves
to substitute other names on their ticket for
some Of the principle Offices, for those chos
en- by the delegates in the Convention. This
act of bargain and sale for sake of the spols
Of Office, is il perfect keeping with the prin
ciples advocated by that party in this State,
and shows to what degree of disgrace the
opposers of our Government have reached by
prostituting the name of Democracy to the
paltry strife for power, based chiefly upon the
support Of the rabble, and whose leaders are
using the same arguments that the Woods,
Rynders and others of New York used to in
fame the minds of the people who were en-,
gagged in the recent disgraccful riot in that
city. If the people of Siskiyou County will
stand such proceedings, and and lend their
support to ticket manufactured for the oc-
casion, without regard to the wishes of any
party, and totally ignoring the principle of
representation by the people, then there is
but little hope of their ability TO maintain a
republican form Of government and they are
well prepared to do the bidding Of their mas
ters.
