How They Talk in the Gold Regions.

We copy the following from the Los Angeles
(Csl.) Ne,oS:
TIE LAST CHAMPION or BARsARIsN.-In
this age Of progression, and bossted high stand
ard Of civilization which the American people
| have attained, II has just been discovered
| since the opening Of the existing rebellion
that the long revered Democratic party was the
great champion by which our Government was
10 have been slain and laid at the feet Of aristo
cratic and barbarous usurpsrs. The progress
of the plot has been arrested by the strong arm
OF patriotism. The desth-knell Of this demon
as latterly practiced-and enemy of republi-
can governments, has been sounded; II dies the
| ignominious death justly deserved by treason
| IL dies as the "Last Champion OF Barbarism."
To this the Flag, of the 10Th instant, says;
"still following their pro-slavery instincts,
and convinced, at length, that their nfeder-
ates In the South must yield IN the overwhelm
ing power OF the Government, the Northern
Copperhesds sre striving TO create an inter
revolution which may compel the restoration
| Of peace with slavery. They would save the
| remnants of their beloved institution, that II
might recover strength TO rebel again at . more
| auspicious time and with better success. With
| an astonishing moral blindness they fall to
perceive that the point has been reached In the
| march OF ages where this horrid barbarism
must go out Of existence, together with what
ever clngs to It's disastrous fortunes. The
II
ordainments OF It's destiny are TOO memorable
10 be witbstood long, even by the united people
of the American states. Its time has come;
and the last and cruelest customs, transmitted
from the Middle Ages and kept alive thus long
by extraordinary circumstances, must perish.
And let Its death be terrible. II there be be-
meath the throne Of God other and more tre-
merdous thunders, never yet invoked by the
wickedness Of man, may they come forth and
condense In infinite fury upon this monstrous
iniquity, until It shall have been thrashed
down 10 the neither bells.
"A few years hence, when the old nag shall
| have been restored TO the dome Of every State
capitol, and the wbistling plowman Is driving
| the instrument Of free labor through the mel
low savannas of the South, there will not be
| found In any of the States now free, ono child
OF national pride and good understanding who
will be willing to confess that his father was .
Peace Democrat. The pro-slavery Democratic
party will be thing OF eIecrable memory, and
the name of the decspitated Federal General
who 10 now leading the Coppcrhead rout
against the age will DO coupled with some pre-
fix of derision.''
No prefix could be more damning, In the
eyes OF free and humane people, than the ono
which Mcclellan now wears-he 10 the "grave
digger Of the Chickahominy." Now that he
has abandoned his war and all other patriotic
principles, and accepted Q nomination upon .
"peace platform" time only will reveal the
cognation 70 which he is entitled.
