Terror i'm the Abolition Camp.

The DcmOsIstic al conservative aem-l

evening of e 9Th :, at Washington.
the telegHph ihfort US, .and adopted
several resolutions, s3IThese resolutions
have inhamed the passions and excited
the Indignation of every Administration
menial in California. The Union, Bee,
Alta, journal, Call and other peDsiOned
lbelers, denounce them in unmeaSured
terms. What are the resolutions ? Are
they reasonable in sentiment, intemper-
ate in tone, insulting in language? Do
they misrepresent Or traduce the Admin
istrationS Are they injurious to the pub
lie welfaree Will their passage by Con-
gress benefit the rebels? No intelligent
man, Who has any respect for truth, will
have the hardihood to answer Affirmative
ly. They are brief, pertinent and patriot
ic. We copy them:
WHEREAS. Gold and silver is paid to our
Ministers, ConsulS, etc, representing the ma.
ton in foreign countries; and whereas, gold

Houses in payment of duties; and whereas,
the people are bound to pay the c.i,;:9!ia's ihr
interest on their investments in the National
debt in specie; therefore
Resolved, That the officers, soldiers and sail
ors in the army aud navy should be paid in gold
and silver or their equivalents in amount.
Resolved also, That the Chairman Of this
meeting be instructed to prepare amendments
to the Army and Navy bills to that effect.
The President, Secretaries, Ministers,
Consuls, etc., receive their pay in gold or
silver; the poor soldiers and sailors, ex-
posed to dangers and subjected to hard
ship, privation and suffering unknown to
the former, receive their pay, little as it is,
in deprecated greenbacks. Are the former
better, more deserving, more patriotic than
the latter? Why discriminate between
the rich and the poor ?-betwecn the
high official, with princely salary, and
the humble subordinate, with barely
enough to cloth himself deccntly p
Strange that proposition, so just and SC
necessary, so commendable and unotjcc.
tionable should be liercyly opposed by 1
party that Processes so much love and re.
spect for soldiers and sailors-a party
that lavishes millions upon negroes and
political yagabonds. 1t is an outrage, {
crime, in the estimation Of the tools of thu
Administration, for Democrats to propose
measure for the relief of the deserving
Its passage by Congress might benefit
the Democratic party, and therefore il
must bc defeated. If it had originated
with tho Aboitonists, every one that
now denounces it would have advocate
it, and called it loyal and patriotic mea
sure. But Aboltionists are not in the
habit Of legiSlating for the leneft Of POO,
white men; the Democrats are, and this
explains why the Union, Bee and Jour,
nal so savagely denounce the action Of the
Democratic caucus.
The resolutions speak for themselves
They are short, explicit, patriotic; and
by no ingenuity can they be tortured into
sympathy for "the rebel cause" They are
intended for the benefit of the army ant
navy, and whatever benefits the army
and navy helps the Union cause.

PERsEcUTIoN.-Socrates was put to
death, but the Sacrotic doctrine arose,
like that sun in the Heaven, and spread
its illumination over the whole civilized
world. Christians were cast to the lions;
but the Christian church grew upa stately
and spreading tree, overtopping the less
vigorous and stately growths, ard sitting
them with its shade. So will it be with
the Peace party. 1t has endured con-
tumely and persecution, but it only serves
to strengthen and confirm its faith, and the
time is not far off when its vigorous
growth will dwarf all those around it.

Mud Springs Township came up before his
Honor, Judge Squres, Of the County Court, on

alt is not simply peace We ought to strive
for, but reconciliation, which IS more tnAn
peace. We may have peace with foreign states
but it is OnIy reconciliation which will unite
us as one people"
So wrote Hartley, an English friend, to
Benjamin franklin in 1776. Who will
say that the suggestion is not true, noble
and generous? Hartley's loyalty" was
not questioned blythe British Government
for thus writing to the "rebel" franklin.
Let the people try this war and this Ad-
ministration by the suggestion of Hartley,
and see what steps towards EjSS.> pace
or reconciliation they are able to discov-
er. The worst feature Of the war is, even
if we conquer peace, We are no better
off than before, for reconciliation cannot
come with it. The Administration has
done and is doing all it can to prevent a
reconciliation. Its declared policy is,
" suhjugation or determination "a bru
tai and fiendish policy.

TREAsoN.-Vicc President Hamlin, in
recent speech, said
There are many men who want the Union as
it was and the Constitution as it is. We'll, they
can't have it,
The Hartford Times thus comments on
the above: The vice President speaks
with great confidence, and with an assu.
rance that he knows precisely what he is
talking about. He is inside of the ring.
The people should be grateful to him for
telling them plainly what they cannot
have; and we presume they would be
obliged if he would condescend to tell
them what they may have. There is some
difference between absolute despotism and
a monarchy. Who authorized vice Presi
dent Hamlin to declare that the people
can't have" the Union as it was and the
Constitution as it is?

STARTLING FIGUREs. Every one knows
that the expenditures Of the Government
are enormous; but it is only when We
compare these times with others, that we
get an Intelligent idea Of their magnitude.
That the ''present national AdministIa-
ton" is eXtravagGnt and corrupt to a
frightfuI extent, is admitted by its friends.
Abolition Senators and Representatives
have so declared on the floor of Congress;
and the fact that the Administration fears
and stiles investigation, proves it. If it
were otherwise, it would invite investi.
CATION. The Government has been swim
died out Of millions, and millions have
been given to party iayoIites for partisan
purposes. Read the following from the
Providence Post:
Our appropriations under Mr. Lincoln's Ad.
ministratiOn already amount to two thousand
one hundred and thirty three millions of dol
lars. The next fiscal year, beginning on the
lst day Of July, lSGi, is to cost US twelve hun.
dred millions making a total Of upwards of
three thousand, three hundred and thirty three
millions. TLis may be set down rs the cost of
Mr.. Lincon's Administration -eclipsing the
entire expenses of the Government from It's
first organization. under Washington, down to
the close Of Mr.. Buchanan's term!
The total expenditure Of the Government
during the seventy-two years preceding the
inauguration If Mr.. Lincolu'S Administration,
was s., ,23j CT ,lGl. The sum Of $i2i,5l1.44
included in this amount, was for the rpducion
of the public debt, and should be deducted in
order to arrive at the actual expenditures of
the Cover. Making this deduction, we
have as the total actual expenditure, Sl,el1,-
l6l,7l4 This is what it cost us to support our
Government carrying it through two f.reign
wars, from the day ON which George Wash
ington was inauGurated down to the day on
which James Buchanan left the Presidential
otlice-a sum much smaller than has already
been expended by Mr.. Lincoln, and but liitlc
more than half as large as his Administration
will have cost US when he retires from office,
on the 4th of March, lo65.
These are startling figures, and they
should be pondered by the American pco-
pie, Are we not paying dearly for four
years of Abolition rule? Are the people
willing to keep in power four years longer
the same corrupt and cxtravagant party

FoRclBLE.-Thc Boston Courier, in a
notice of recent speech of Wendell
Phillips, the leader of the Administration
party, says: lie considered slavery to
be such an abhorrent thing that, "if man
had not undertaken its destruction, the
eternal laws of God would have soon ac-
complshed it." So that, after all, Mr..
Phillips has only been slightly ahead of
Providence, at the trifiing expense of
hundreds of thousands Of lives and of the
agony of countless thousands of mourn
ers, to say nothing of the loss of brotherly
love, and of debt, taxation, moral ruin
and inevitable bankruptcy.

French DISPATCHES STOLEN.-Tht
Panama STR sAYS:

French DISPATCHES SToLEN.-The
Panama star says:
A good deal Of talk has occurred in Pam
ANA BY the report that the dispatch bag OF the
French Consul, from the Spanish squadron
at the ChinchaS, was broken open and ritied
Gifts contents on board the ?. s. n. Co. S
steamer Chile. The facts connected with the
affair, as far as We can learn, are as follows /:
Whilst at Pisco, an officer of the Spanish
feet gave closed dispatch bag to the Com
mander Of the Chile, requesting 1t TO be de-
liyered to the French Consul at Panama.
Captain Swell, as is usual in such cases, gave
it to his Purser, instructing him to place 1t
in the safe, which he did. On arriving at
TaboSa, suspicious being entertained BY the
CAPTAIN as to the safety Of the bag, owing to
some rumor on board, he called the officer
who gave it to him to examine before send
ing it on shore, when it was ascertained that
it had been opened, the dispatches taken out,
blank paper substituted, and the bag re-
seued. The bag originally contained the dis
patches from Admiral Pinzon to his Govern
ment, and the private letters OF the fleet.
The perpetrators ofthe robbery had not been
discovered
As the mail steamer OH which this rob-
berry occurred is British vessel, and as
the papers stolen were not of character
to excite the cupidity of al ordinary
thief, "perfdious Albion" will be
charged with the responsibility ofthe at
fair and complications will be the re-
suit. We hope so. We delight in British
and French misery.

POPPYCoCK.

The above unseemly word is the only,
one we can find descriptive Of the style of
the articles which fill certain class of
California papers of which the Nevada
Transcript is the chief tooter. These
sheets devote their feeble energies to depre-
eating articles concerning this Territory,
although to what end it is difficult to con-
lecture. Why Nevada City, especially,
should make such howl about the mat
ter, is strangest of all. Its papers twist
and torture and preyaricate in every pos
sible manner to prove that that town is on
the nearest and best route to this Territory
as though the establishment of that fact
was all that was necessary to insure the
eternal prosperity of the town, and the
present and eternal happiness of its inhab-
itants. This seems hardly consistent
with the System of decrying the Territory.
Even were it the humbug that these papers
assert, we cannot perceive how Nevada
City is to BE- benefited by proving it.
That town is no terra imcognita to the
people of this Territory. There are hun
dreds of our citizens old residents of that
town and county, and thousands Of others
who know all about it and its resources.
They have seen it gradually decline during
the past ten years, and sink from the Po-
sition of frst-class thriving town down
to deserted, exhausted hamlet, II mere
way station for passengers on their way
to Washoe. Her merchants and men OF
capital left there long ago, forced elsewhere
by the perfect stagnaton of business and
her miners left her exhausted placers long
wears ago, to the Chinaman. The Mongol
can earn his meager :" lcee" therein, but
the white man cannot earn his more costly
beans and bacon. These are facts, and
we are sorry for it. There are hosts OF
idle men in this Territory and we would
be glad to be able to tell them that over in
Nevada county there were diggings where
a man could make living. We can't do
it. though, because we know and they
know to the contrary. There is another
point upon which these papers harp most
loudly and persistently. That is that
this Territory is totally dependant on
California. We are dependent upon Cal
ifornia it is true; but it is only that sort
of dependence that man has upon his
grocer, his tailor and his bootmaker, when
he buys his wares and pays for them.
One would suppose, however, who knew
nothing to the contrary, that the popula-
ton of this Territory were set of beg
CARS, living upon the free and gracious
bounty of California, and that Nevada
City stood first on the list of philanthro-
pic supporters of the Washoe Charity
Fund. 1t is high time that such nonsen-
cical gag about the dependency of
Washoe was stopped.
