Coufederacy, Arms and means TO reyolutionize
them were provided by the Secretary OF War OF
the last Democratic Administration, but through
the fidelity of General Sumner, the commander OF
the Puchc Department, the scheme of revolution
and treason was thwarted. Although foiled in
1861 the emiSsaries of rebellion have never rclln
auished the hope of either alternating California,

seeking TO accomplish through the aid Of the bal

declare preference for the Baltimore nominees In
November, still would victory by the enemies
Of the Government In Nevada prove an iuconceiv'

Let US glance for q moment at the fruits OF such
triumph Let US nee whether viewed solely in
the light of personal interest, the Southern.sym'

to aid in the establishment Of Peace Democratic
Sle in Nevada The state would become the
centre and asylum Of the exiled and turbulent
traitors of the East and West, and the voice OF
disloyalty would be heard unchecked in our
courts of Justice and In our halls of legislation.
The skies would leaden IN the angry frown Of
threatened tumult-confidence in the integrity
and SUPREMACY of the law would he banlshed,
capital would be withdrawn, the mines would re

sragnation would prevail. With representation

We appeal to such citizens Of Irish birth as are
thoughIlesSly clinging TO the empty name and
broken pillars Of a once bonored, now infamous
party. TO carefully examine the position they
occupy in that relation towards the land they left
in bondage and the Government TO which they
stand pledged in allegiance. In blindly following
the leaders Of that party in their reasonable as
saults upon the Government, you are committing
a crime for which you will be held accountable to
your children and to your God. BY the holy
