The nomination Of Sam Brannan, and other
weak and improper persons for the Legislature
by the Republicans of San Francisco, has
given rise TO many jokes and much amusement
in the press of that city F. Coombs, the
Second Washington, announces himself as the
" Matrimonial Union and Free Dtching lnde-
pendent candidate for Senator )" and through
the columns of the Alta, " Emperor Norton -"
says he will condescend TO be candidate also
but be don't desire the position unless bis
subjects will give him their unanimous sup
port.
THE Union party of California, are classed
with and act with the Republican party Of the
Atlantic States. They are controlled BY the
New York Tribune, which in 1854, hurled the
following Infamous lines at the star-cemmcd
flag of the Republic:
- Tear down the f1aunting lie
Halfmast the starry flag:
Insult no sunny sky
With hates polluted rag.

The issue before the people is not one Of
ordinary polirics-one upon which people may
divide into parties and be equally patriotic
The question is simply one Of Union. The
Republicans have refused to permit Louisiana
to return TO the Union. The Democracy
would welcome all the seeded States back
The Republican party is not better Union
party than the rebels, for the latter would have
Union upon their own terms the ignoring Of
existing Consultation and laws, and the Re
pubcans will not have Union except upon
these exact terms See the Presidents refusal
TO recognize Louisiana as a State.
The Democratic cause steadily advances
Information from various portions of the State
gives assurance that the ticket beaded by Low
will be voted only By the most radical aud
fanatical in the State. The people understand
the refusal of the Administration TO recognize
Louisiana as a State, and old line Wbigs and
conservative Republicans are daily giving in
their adhesion TO the Democratic ranks. The
Democratic party will roll up prodgious
majority. The most sanguiue OF the Republi-
can candidates hereabouts know that they will
not be able to keep their heads above water
on the day of election. and have been keeping
them above poor whisky for the past month

abolitionism or sectionalism of any kind.
Their abiding purpose is the suppression of
the rebellion. maintenance of the Union ad-

against the United States, should they aban-
don snch insurrection and return TO their al

There are some curious features in connection
with this order of enrolment for California
No call has been made upon the State for
troops In other States quotas were assigned,
and the draft ordered to Gil them, in order to
raise 100000 men called for by the President.
California was not included in that call and
hence the draft in this State is not for the
purpose of filling the call made by the authori
ties for that number of men. The public are
informed by the Sacramento Union. that,
Whether draft is ordered will depend, OF
course, upon future contingencies" Now
when we take into consideration the known
fact that this order for enrolment in Culifor.
MIA is made at the present time, and the an
nouncement of the President that, ihe order
for seizing the Almaden mine has not been
abandoned, but is only postponed until after
the election, it is easy to sec what the Admin
istration contemplates in this order, and that
is the seizure of the Mines
The agent of the Administration that went
to Europe, for the purpose Of disposing OF
Government Bonds assured capitalists there
that the mines of the States and Territories
should be pledged for their redemption. That
is undoubtedly the object of the order, and the
accompanying instruction to have the enroll
ment made within twenty days The idea Of
war with France or England is not in the
Administration programme.
1t is thus that New England Aboltlonists,
who are debating the policy of the war, and
supplying the rebels with shoes, clothing and
arms. u,a Canada and Nassau are to save
themselves from taxation resulting from the
war they have done so much to inaugurate
NoTERs of California. who formerly resided

such old conservative Republicans as o. II.
Browning, who was appointed by the Repub.
licans, successor to Douglas in the L. S. Sen
ate, deserted the Administration on lis adoption
of the sectional and disunion policy of the
Abolitionists, and are now acting with the
Democracy OF that State.
In New York. such silver grew Wings "
and Republicans as Millard Fillmore have left
the sectional agtatorS, and are acting with the

Are these men deserving the names of " trai

by the Abolition press against all who do not
vote with them? Let the people be DO longer
deceived by their false cry. They care nothing
for Union, nothing for constitutional Govern
ment, but everything for the success Of their
partisan schemes

THE nomination of such men as sam Bran

Members of the Assembly, by the Republicans
of San Francisco. caused the more conservative
and respectable and intelligent of that party,
at a meeting called for the purpose of ratifying
the nominations, to call out for new ticket,
to be headed by Downey for Governor. Intel
ligent aud respectable people are beginning to
see that the bogus Union party of Califor-
MIA is entirely under the control of rowdies and
brothel-mongers, and wardrobe operators, and
are determined TO kick them cut. Siace their

that their cry for a Union is false, and they

The Republicans of Sacramento, San Fran
cisco, Butte, and other counties, are disgusted
with the tickets presented by their party
The tact is, all the worthless raSca,S and "a
nieS and ninnies in the State have rushed into
the Republican ranks, and assumed conro'.
until that party cannot present a respectable
ticket fairly aLd houorably nominated. The
sensible and conservative among them see the
necessity Of rebukiug these worthless dema-
sogues, and they viii do it by voting the
Democratic ticket, and thus contribute to
place men in power who will be a credit to
the people. and maintain the good sense and
dignity Of the Government. The salvation OF
the country depends upon the people rcpudia
ting these worthless political demagogues.
The Democracy love their country, the

outlying process that some indiScreet fanatics

The enemies of that government are unwise if
they misunderstood the depth Of this resolve.

II Is favori,e pastime with the Republican
press to misrepresent the Democracy, by as
serting that they are opposed to the war for
the Union. This is done, too, 10 the face of
the action of those States that, ike Kentucky,
have repudiated the policy of the Admiuistra-
tion. but still obey the calls Of the proper au-
,horities upon them. for troops aid means. It
is false that the Democracy are opposed to
war. if necessary, for the restoration of the
Union. They do not desire to take back their
contributions to that undivided unity we call
the Nation.
They oppose the policy Of the Adninis'ra-
ton because there are rights, possessions, priv
ilegeS, policies. relations, duties, acquired, re-

cans are endeavoring to do. They have retain.

them when they apply? Look at their refusal
TO recognize louisiana as member of the
Union, unless her State Constitution shall be

UNION LEAGUES AND THEIR ENGMIEs.-The
Stockton Independent, ventilating this subject
draws the following signifcant parallel:
" Now let us compare these Leagues with the
traitors who have detained them The other day
when the Federal cavalry bad been pressed back
into Baltimore by a superior force Of rebels, and
the city was thought for moment to be in dan.
ger, it was the Union Leaguers who rushed with
arms in their hands into the rife pits and de
fenses, ready 20 lay down their lives for their
country. They saved the city. They are mil
tary, then, as well as a political organization :;
but they devote themselves exclusively TO the
Union cause, and that offends the venomous trail
tors who traduce them. What of the polluted
Copperhead Democracy? They, too, have their
military as well as their political organization /;
but when they act, it is always to defend con
spiracy, as in the case of the mob who stood at
the back of the Infamous Vallandgham; or to
resist the draft, as they are now doing in Monroe
county, Indiana or to insult the Union soldiers
as they did in Southern Illinois, at indianapolis,
aud at Los Angeles u this State or TO concoct
plans for the murder of the President Of the
United States, as they did in Berks county, Penn
sylvania. Shame on such Infamous wretches
who still, confronting all their political crimes
without blushng, have the audacity to talk about
liberty, democracy, and their great love for the
Constitution"

TAKING THE OATH.-We notice, says the Contra
Costa Gazette, the name of Tod Robinson, of Sac
ramento, now added to that of Zach Mont
gomery, of Marysyile, as refusing to take the
oath Of loyalty. Last week we published the
names Of a number of former residents Of Cali
fornia, taken from the -4mercdn FIdg, a newspaper
printed in Texas, which announced them as just
arrived there, after their escape from California,
and as having come to Join the army in the ser,
vice Of the Southern Confcderacy. Among the
number was the son of this same Tod Robinson
who refused to take the oath. The query natu-
rally arses-Did this Tod Robinson Jr. go
thither without consent and aid of Tod Robinson
Sr.? If not then the father may well refuse to
take the lawyers oath of loyalty, for be could
not take it without making himself criminaily
liable. But if this be so, the further question
arises, why does he still remain in California en-
joying the protection of that National and State
Government, which secures to him life, liberty
and property, aud yet refuse to render hearty
obedience to that Government which secures
these rights? What American would go to reside
in Russia for o number OF years, and not delib-
orateIy make up his mind to comply with all the
laws Of the empire while there So soon as he
could not do this, the dictate of common honesty
aud common sense would be for him to leaUe The

WEAKENED-John Il. Ridge, editor of the
Trinity National, a secesh concern, while gassing
around Scott Valley last week, said in the pres
tuce of George Oulton, the Union candidate for
State Controller, that the United States Supreme
Court decided the suspension of the writ OF habeas
corpus to be unconstitutional. Oulton told him
lie was mistaken, when Ridge commenced to bluff
by offering to bet 500. Oulton said he was not
accustomed to gambling on anything, but posi-
lively dissented from Ridges assertion. Ridge
began to bluster about his $l00, when Outon
coolly hauled out 500 to see him, when he com
menced crawling out by saying you are gentle
man aud am gentleman, aud you will see me
at Sacramento this Winter, and whoever has won
will get the 500. Outon desired it settled then,
aud was ready to dsproye the assertion. Ridge
thought folks up this way were rather green

played him out at Red Bluff, and we imagine that
