Recruiting officers will be careful not to en-

especial pains TO prevent such persous from
coming into the army and will discharge them

WESTWARD "A ABeLITIoxIsxr TAKES IT'S Way.
In an editorial on The relative strength Of
parties in the different sections" as shown By
the Presidential election, the Marysvilie Ex-
press gives q table Of twenty-five States for
Lincoln and three for McClelIan-giyiag Lin
coin a majority Of 307,755, aud gain over
1860 of tro hundred and fur thousand one
hundred and siItgftco. The Express then
proceeds to show that, while the Abolition"
majorities in the New England States and in
New York aud Pennsylvania are greatly re
duced from those of 1860, in the Western
States they have increased enormously. Ga
this subject, the Express says:
In California, in 1850, the vote showed
popular majority against Lincoln Of over
$4,000; now he has majority Of over S. ,00e
We have not made a close estimate, bat We

ment that AbolitioDism has developed itself
faster 10 California than any other State 10 the
Union, during the past four years. Il IS to DAY
blaeker in politics than the six New England
States, excluding Massachusetts, The black
wave of Abolition has thus rolled westward
since the first Inauguration of Lincoln, increas.
ing in volume and force until the occurrence Of
another election, which election came upon Us
here on the Pacific coast just as Abolition
fanaticism was at its highest food While IN
New York the changes from Iincoluistn TO
Democracy reached about 10000, and in
Pennsylvania over $4,000, the changes in the
States on the Pacific coast have been the other
way with still more rapid pace We intend
10 quit indulging in determinations against the
New England States. We make no ouicry
against New England. when FIVE cut of six
OF those States are sourder. politically, than
California.
The Express should no longer discriminate
10 favor of JEFF s Confederacy," as it seems
that big "wave OF Abolition" from Richmond
is rolling over those States. OF course, this
wave was started TO counteract another one.
but that makes no difference. If the proposed
emancipation and arming Of negroes by jeff
is carried out, what will become Of the North
ern copperhead slave Democracy? VIII not
their condition be similar to that Of the people
in the time of the Deluge? The abolition"
deluge has come upon them, and they have no
ark of refuge, but must perish with their idol.
