SEVERE ON LINCOLN. Sacramento
Union of Thursday copies and indorses
the following:
WuIcu is Ir?-Isaac Hill, long the head
and master spirit of the New Hampshire
" Democracy" once declared that "he
who does not support the Government in
time of war is either traitor or a COW.
ard" Franklin Pierce, q leader Of the
New Hampshire " Democracy" of to-day,
declares that the war Of the nation for its
existence is homicidal Madness" and
should be stopped at once, Is he, accord
ing to Hills test, traitor or a cowardi-
New York Evening Post.
Lincoln declared in Congress that the
war with Mexico was unnecessary and
unconstitutional" and vehemently op.
posed it. "Is he, according to Hills test,
a traitor or Q coward"S Nearly every
leader Of the Republican party opposed
the "QoVernment" during the Mexican
war. According to their own doctrine
they were all traitors or towards. The
custom house organ is evidently out Of
tune-probably demanding larger price
for its servility.

TIE REsPoNsIBILITY.-Le it not be for.
gotten that Mr.. Douglas proclaimed in the
United States Senate, that "the sole re.
sponsibility of our disagreement, and the
only difficulty in the way of an amicable
adjustment, was with the Republican par
ty." This is the testimony of disinter-
ested witness, whose evidence has not
been and cannot be impeached. uad the
Republicans not declared their determi-
nation to adhere to the Chicago platform,
to "yield not an inch" of their treasona-
BILE doctrines to save the country, the war
would have been averted and thousands
of precious lives and hundreds Of millions
of treasure saved. Fanaticism and trea-
son triumphed over reason and patriot
ism, and the result is terrible war, which
is devastating our beloved country and
deluging her fields with fraternal blood.
The mountain Democrat., 1863-08-08

PREDICTION VERIFIED.-Henry Clay
thoroughly understood the reasonable
purposes Of the Abolition party, predict
ed the fatal result Of its success, and in
words of sad earnestneSs implored his
countrYmen to crush it. He knew that
the triumph of sectional party, standing
upon sectional platform, and supporting
sectional candidates, would provoke hos
tilities between the antagonistic sections !;
and during his long, eventfpl career, with
burning eloquence, denounced the Aboli.
ton party-that worthless and dangerous
party which now holds the reins of Coy
ernment and is endeavOring TO maintain
its supremacy by corruption, fraud and
violence. In September, 1888, he wrote
as follows to his friend and biogrnpher,
Rev. Walter Cotton:
"They the Aboltionistsl would see
the Administration of the Govern
ment precipitate the nation into absolute
ruin before they would lend helping
hand to arrest its career.
Show that the agitation of the ques.
tion in the free States, will first destroy
all harmony, and finally lead to disunion
perpetual war-the extermination Of
the African race-ultimate military des-
potism."
The Abolition party is in power; hAr-
mOny is destroyed; civil war is raging,
and . "Rilitary despotism" bids fair to
end the catalogue Of evils brought upon
the country by the triumph of a treasona-
ble sectional party. The warning words
of Clay have been Cnheeded, and unless
the party in power is defeated bis predic.
ton will soon be verified.

MOUNTAIN TowXsHIP.-At their recent ses-
zion the Board Of Supervisors passed the fol-
lowing order in regard to Mountain Township :
"Ordered that Mountain Township. as former

Wards Of warning.

All unprgudicsd persons eoncede that
the war has been diverted from its OTigi'
nal purpose BY the Administration, and
it is now prosecuted not to restore "the
Union as il vas," but IS 1t ought to
be-" to use the language Of leading Re-
publicans, who declare that "SlaVery
must be wiped OUT 1t is, to speak
plainly, . sectional war, made 50 By the
fanatics who control the President In
these times of excitement, Anaticism and
intolerance, the impressive language of
Gen. Jackson that UNco'9YzNw%Sa8 Old
Democrat and grand old patriot, states
man and hero, cannot be too often re-
peated. "If," said he in his Farewell
Address, probably anticipating the pres
ent struggle, "such . struggle is ever
begun, and the citizens of one section Of
the country are arrayed in arms against
those Of another, let the latter end as it
may, there will be an end of the Union,
and with it an end to the hopes Of free
men," War, then, in his opinion-an
opinion that Democrats respected at one
time, whatever they may think now
though wagcd in the name of the Union,
would be utterly destructive Of the ends
for which the Union was formed. "The
citizens of one section of the country are
arrayed in arms against those Of another
and it appears to be the unalterable de:
termination of the Administration party
to keep them so arrayed until one or the
other are annihilated. If they accom-
plish their purpose, then, in the prophet
ic language of Gen. Jackson, "there will
be and end Of the Union, and with it an
end to the hopes Of freemen."
At another time said the old hero,
speaking of the same traitOrous party.
"The Abolition party is disloyal or
ganization. It's pretended love for the
Union means nothing more or less than
civil war and dissolution Of the Union.
Honest men of all parties should unite to
expose their intentions and arrest their
progress"
How perfectly the glorious old patriot
understood the purposes of the Aboli-
tionists. They have, as impartial history
will record, provoked "civil war;" in
order to ''dissolve the Union" 1t is the
duty Of "honest men of all parties to ex-
pose their intentions and arrest their pro-
gress."

FACTS TO BE RExENBERED.-Let the
people, who are ruinously taxed to sup
port and free Thousands Of negroes and
keep up band Of sWindlins contractor
and ofice-hOldeTs, remember that the Alb
clifton members Of Congress. voted down
or refused to accept the Crittenden Com
promise; the Border States Compromise;
Douglas Compromise; Bigler's PROPOSE
ton to submit the Crittenden COmpro'
mise to . vote Of the people and Ad-
ANS Compromise, the adoption Of either
of which would have prevented hostili'
tea and restored harmony. The Aboli-
tionists rejected ell Of them because they
were not in conformity with the creed
enunciated in the Chicago Platform,
which they, to use their own emphatic
language, regarded as ''sacred and worth
fifty UniOnsl" They said to the people,
who had just repudiated the Chicago
Platform by a vast majority, embrace its
doctrines and support its candidates, or
you shalt be involved in disastrous war,
for We are determined to carry its doc
trines into effect at the point of the bay
onet, We have possession Of the purse
aud sword, and We shall use both unspar-
ingly, Truly have they carried their
threat into execution. Remember these
historical facts, voters of California, and
at the coming election rebuke the traitors
who are seeking to subvert the Govern
ment and to place you upon an equality
with the negro.

D. Keck, Of the firm of Keck 4 Lang, furni-
ture dealers, nAt with fatal accident In

WindlaSs, by the breaking of one of the up
rights, became unmanageable, and the tub.
with the man in it, descended swiftly and
Orcibly, the edge of it struck Mr.. K. on the
head, causing conclusion of the brain. Assis-
tance was Immediately procured and he was
brought to town, but he was beyond medical
skill, and 10 6w hours he breathed his last

uutimely death vas deeply regretted. He was
modest honest and industrious an ingenious
mechanic, and in the State and our County FAN
was awarded the first premium for cabinet
work. His funeral was largely attended, which

THR RIGHT OF FREE SPEEcH.-Judge
Parker's speech, delivered short time
ago before the National Club of Salem,
Massachusetts,. and which has been pub
hshed in pamphlet form, says of the
Right of Free Speech, that 1T far sur
passes in importance even the question
Of suppressing the Rebellion. Without
this privilege there can be no civil rights
whatever. The Government, call It by
what name you will, is then > tyranny,
and the people are slaves" And to the
Republican party, the party in power,
belongs the intamy of suppressing free
dom Of speech. The traitors who control
it desire to give freedom to the negro
while robbing white men oft.

DOUGLAS Oh THE WAR.-Senator Doug.
las, in his last speech in the U. S. Senate,
thus exposed the hypocrisy of the Abo
litionists, who profess to be prosecuting
the war to save the Union. They could
not deceive him. lie had observed their
course and votes too long to be humbug-
ged by their pretended love for the Union.
He had heard their leaders-Hale, Seward
and Chase-denounce the Shareholders
Union" :eO Gs:ss.y 70 be :se;r d4pa lie
had seen Hale, in 1850, present petition
in the U. S. Senate for . dissolution Of
the Uuion, and be had also seen Seward
and Chase vote for it. Reflect upon his
memorable words:
al don't understand how a man can
claim to be friend of the Union, and yet
be in favor Of war upon ten millions Of
people in the Union. You cannot cover
it up much longer under pretext of love
for the Union.
"War is disunion, certain, inevitable,
inal and irrep-essible."

he could sweep off bodies of evil il.disposed
men, who should attempt to intrench on
his premises, at the rate Of seventy FIVE
thousand every ten minutes"
This ." old army officer ought to be
put in Gen. Meade's place and started az
ter Lee. In a few minutes he would an
initiate the rebel army, cat the rate of
seventy y-fve thousand every ten minutes" "
After using up Lee he might be sent af,
ter Bragg. Bragg, in preference to being
used up at such a ter4itle rate, Of course
would gladly surrender, and the rebel.
