indifference and not much Of action on the
part Of Onion elsptprs in storeE county,
In July last, one Of the committees COM
posed ofeleyen members. convened to take
action in regard 10 the propriety OF nominat-
ing a full county ticket. Mr.. Paul, unsuc-
cessfully urged the body to adopt the names
of some thirty gentlemen to act as noml-
mating Committee, some Of whom had been
regarded as notorious secessionists from the
hour they appended their names to that most
reasonable address hereinbefore referred 70,
and many others, OF such doubtful loyalty,
TO unit them to be leaders in the Union
ranks. The committee very properly ana
very periodically refused to endorse the
movement Of Mr.. Paul. Hereupon, Mr.. Fri
zelle, than whom there Is no more earnest,
and far sighted Union man in our county, IN
view of the imperative necessity for harmo-
ny in the loyal ranks, proposed to invite ior
consultation and joint action the other
Union Committees Of the county. Again
Mr.. Paul presented his nominating list Tor !,
Peoples movement, before this enlarged
committee, which was voted down by large
vote, whereupon Messrs. Paul, Bolan and
Earl bolted, and organized Peoples Party
with his pet names, OF ten days seleclon,
and of mixed loyaltys to designate suitable
persons for the SURFACES Of Union Electors
Well may Union men exclaim-
my country 10 what base uses
Have we come at last
It NAV not be improper here to state, that
two gentlemen whom Mr.. Paul selected on
his Nominating Committee were j. A. Pax
ton and j. G. Clark, signers of the famous
REASONABLE address, and who have oeen &C.
morally regarded as the uncompromislng enc
mics of our government, as administered oy
Mr.. Lincoln and his constitutional advisers
the first Of whom was the moving spirit IN
the Peoples Nomination Convention that
slaughtered Mr.. Winton upon charges that
| were merely technical, and the latterais now
the Dixie candidate for Sheriff.
By what moral or political right had Mr..
! Paul and his two associates to set up their
opinion against fifty men equally as honest
and intelligent, and patriotic as themselves,
and to establish a boilers movement, that has
encouraged our national enemy to thoroughly
organize with an earnest hope for victory
cannot allow myself to entertain the
thought that these boiling leaders, or many
Of their admiring followers, are dishonest OF
disloyal men. The desire for reform, and
| the hope OF the leadership Of great party,
are binding elements to inspire the ambi-
| tious. This movement under the guise OF
| retrenchment and reform, misled and blind
ed the minds OF many Of the tax-paying
public, as TO the real purposes of this
| gigantic Secession swindle; and known only
| TO those deep in the plottings Of those, pro-
1 found in the secrets Of the schemers of trea-
! son, in the heart of the rebellion. Our Union
newspapers was at first partially caught in
this disloyal trap, BY the seeming business
and propriety Of this deep laid scheme
! Even the writer Of this address was at first
bewildered by its promised good.
The boiling was prompt and absolute. Be-
| fore the people made any demands for q
change in the elementary administration oil
political affairs, new and boiling organiza-
| ton was perfected.
! For the combined central committees, there
| was no other course LEFT for them to pursue,
but to continue the action common IN Cal
| ifornia and throughout this Territory. From
the hour of its organization the leaders OF the
Peoples Party, began to denounee the Phi
mary system as an instrument htted only to
| further the interests of scheming politicians
This denunciation deferred good citizens from
| attending the primary elections, by which
| good nominations could be secured. The re-
| suit was perhaps n ticket Of somewhat less oil
strength than it would have been, had tax
PAYERS participated more extensively.
| But ii the regular Union Ticket is not all
| that it should be, most assuredly, those who
| failed to do their duty, have none to COM
plain Of but themselves. 1t is well e>tab'
| iished maxim in law, that no one has right
to take advantage of his own wrong. The
polls were open and honest Judges and In,
spectors were at their posts of duty, to guart
| the ballot box from fraud. ...
| In troublesome and dangerous times like
these, boiling, my fellow-citizeus, should
not be encouraged. 1t should be crushed
out in its infancy. Men who struggle to leat
and rule upon the wreck Of bleeding coun'
try, should be denounced with bitterpess
! bv the side of which, gall is insipid. While
! this war shall last, with crouched enemy II
our midst, Iready to spring into the fold Of thu
Union, boilers and disorganizers should bt
| made to feel the terrible pressure Of an out
ragged Union sentiment.
DEMOCRATIC AIMS.
The aim Of the Democracy is, first fo
civil rule. This once accomplished, will in
vite the Copperhaad hordes, both from thu
east and the west, the north and the south
| to take up their abode with MS, whose rult
and ravages will be more terrible than those
of the Goths aud Vandals, more oppressive
than the hordes under the. leadership of At
tilla, Alaric, or Ghengis Kahn. A militar!
| despotism could be easily raised and main
tained with such a starter.
Once allow the determined enemies Of oul
natisn, to obtain the control OF the executive
Offices OF this county, which possesses thu
| wealth of an Empire, and they will hav'
gained a prestige, that will stimulate every
county in our prospective State, for Demo
] cratic victory. In every community there
are always great number of electors of easy
| political principles, who will readily accom-
modate themselves to the victorious party
1t would require no very extraordinary ef
I forts on the part Of the emissaries of dis
honorable peace, 10 induce them to slide intt
the embrace of the winning party.
Once in power, how easily, with all thei
admitted skill for prompt and unscrupulou'
action, both ut, and away from the ballo
! box, could they bring Union men in dis
grace and permanent humiliation--God for
| bid that. The frightfnl and bloody scene:
! of East Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia
should be enacted upon our soil, and person
al freedom should live among US only in his
tory.
You, gentlemen, seek for Office. You de
sire at the hands Of Jour fellow citizens hon
orable positions. These desires, at the prope
time, are laudable, and should meet with en-
| couragement. An earnest wish for public
approval, through the espousal Of noble prin'
ciples and BY generous deeds, is an importan
Characteristic Of the good citizen. To selfish
| " thrust yourself, however, upon the public
or to ALLOW your friends to force you before
the people through boiling organization, a
a time, too, Of great public peril, exhibit,
!. your deep concern for yourselves and fol
your own interests, while they demonstrate
your want OF interest for the public welfare
and your un6tness for public appreciation
The regularly organized party representing
all the various and conflicting branches Of thu
Union cause, has, through the medium o
ordinary party machinery, presented TO thu
electors Of Storey county complete tickle
for county officers for their approval. You
certainly cannot reasonably expect that thes'
regular nominees will withdraw from thu
field. You. gentlemen, who are irregular
and independent candidates, must do so, O.
the Union cause will be captured by the pc
