DELINQUENT SALES ON MONDAY
TIME

1t is high time that "Timer" was
called on Beriah Brown. His outrageous
impudence and unceasing insults to the
nation and the people of the Pacific Coast
have been endured with a patience that
can only be attributed either to the covert
sympathy or the improperly shown con-
tempt Of the military authorities of the
Department. So long as his insulting
rawlings were of character to be regarded
as the frothings of an insignificant indi-
vidual, they might perhaps be permitted
to pass unnoticed by the Government.
But when the wretch openly prOclaims
himself the champion, and his paper the
organ of reasonable organization known
to exist on the Pacific Coast, it is full time
that his paper was suppressed and himself
incarcerated in Fort Alcatraz. In the
Thursdays issue of his damnable sheet he
has lengthy TRADE OF treason, from
which we extract the following call for the
secession of the Pacific States and Terrific
ries. He says:
"If the people Of the Pacific coast, who
possess within themselves the ability and
power of maintaining an independent ma
tiOnal existence, and within their territory
all the elements OF national wealth, are TO be
shorn OF their municipal rights and munich
pal independence, to be made the mere trio-
utaries Of central government thousands Of
Ynt1aa rha, Sisrinefly and
emphatically, let them make for themselves
Pacific Republic
Il is favorite boast Of the Copperheads
of this coast that an organization with
the above intent exists to the number OF
thirty thousand" Beriah's census of
the " buzzard shooters makes the num-
Der forty thousand. We do not believe
that it possesses a 1.-THE of that strength,
but we have not the least doubt that such
an organization does exist, sufficiently
strong to make serious trouble Il they
should find courage and opportunity TO
attempt 10 seize upon the fortresses and
military material of California. 1t IS d.
rectly and openly charged that there is
treason in the military department at San
Francisco, and the circumstance of the
discovery that the shells at Fort Point had
been tempered with and rendered useless,
goes far 10 subStannate the charge. Gen. |
Mcdowell has assumed the command of |
the Department of the Pacific, and thor |
ough examination of the ammunition and |
ordnance viii, it is said, be instituted at
once. The least shade of suspicion against
the loyalty and integrity of Capt. Stewart
should be sufficient to GUST him from the
command of so vitality an import
ant fortress as that of Fort Point.
No care or precsution should be
considered strained, which tends to the
perfect security Of the Notifications
of San Francisco from invasion or sur
prise. Every enemy, and tool Of the enc
my, who, by word or act, has rendered |
himself liable TO q just suspicion Of treason
able intent, should be put out Of the power |
of dong harm. The yelping Yankee trail
tor Beriah Brown should be squelched |
forthwith. 1t is what he is apparently |
aching for, and he should be accommo-
dated without delay. He has gone so far
as TO commence system of personal in
suit towards General Mcdowell - low,
scurrilous, indecent insult, beneath the
dignity of white man. In this there
may be strategy, my boy" The whelp |
doubtless thinks that the General may re-
frain from Juggling him, lest it be consid- |
cred that private luminosity, and not the !
public safety, has instigated him. The
public ofenSes of Brown are amply suti- !
Gent to justify his Imprisonment IN the
deepest dungeon of Alcauaz, and if Gen.
Mcdowell does not put a speedy end to
these outrageous treason TRADES and re-
bellious exhortations, the people Of the
Pacific coast will be of the opinion that in
the substitution Of commanders there has
been but slight cause for public congratu-
