WATCH THEX.-The New York Daily
Ne,o,, rank Copperhead concern, has be-
come enraged at the late Union triumphs,
and at the consequent rapid assertions Of
Democrats from its own party, and thus
incautiuusly divulges some family secrets
1--WE deem it our duty to caution the
Republican party against set Of political
knaves who have called themselves Demo-
Gratis. Now that the war party appears to
be success, they will be found the loud
est in their rejoicings. They will crawl
into committees on celebrations; they will
proffer to hang traitors they will display
more bunting, exhibit the greatest number
of Chinese lanterns. and, in fact, make
themselves so conspicuous that the Simon
Pure. original Black Republicans will be
thrown entirely in the shade. We caution
the Original Jacobs to beware of these
fellows. They IRE entirely without polit-
ical principle, and their only wish is to
come in for a share Of the plumber. They
are old adopts at contracts, Offices and
spoils. Whenever the cause Of the South
has looked bright they have thronged our
Office button-holed clerk, or a reporter,
and have asserted that they always knew
that the war could not succeed; always
thought as we did; never read any paper
except the Daily Ns,os, but thought it best
to be little prudent"

without delay. The MaIiposa Free Press
says:
"Pieree is the same unsullied patriot Of
other days, while Lincoln, leprous with crime
and rotten with corruption, is a perjured
traitor to God and his country. The present
age may not do justice to either, but posterity
will surround the name Of Franklin Pierce
With halo Of glory, while it buries the name
Of Abraham Lincoln deep in internal infamy
BY the side Of Judas Iscariot."

BAD NEIeHBoRs.-The French papers
do not like the idea of Napoleon acquir-
ing territory bordering on the United
States. They think the Yankees are "bad
neishbors." In an article on the subject
of the cession of the Northern States OF
Mexico TO France, the Paris Steele says:
Supposing i, true France is to be paid in
lands instead of money, and the territory is
as large as the whole Of France. and gold so
plenty that il is coined into children 8 toys,
now are they to reap the benefits in that far
of country. When they have colonized
Alziers il will be time to think of Sonora, and
vhsn they have pro6ted by all their African
colony has to yield, it will be soon enough to
try What they can do at the other end Of the
world. Besides, no lands are good with bad
neiShbors, and the Yankees would be the
most troublesome, for nothing can ever get
il ont of their heads that all America belongs
TO them, and sooner or later they will push
anybody who may sit down upon their Dor
ders into the sea.

eaarrxnArzs A oo7PERHnAD,

! We perceive by an article IN the eecia'
mento Union, that Edward Bates, late
Acknowledgement of the United states
has commenced the publication OF what
10 ,,rns a :. Series of Essays" in the st.
Ion;s Democrat, the object of which ap-
ra.rs 70 be- 10 attack the action OF the
covs,nmen, in Missouri, and BY impt'ca-
ion in other States, in proclaiminS
! martial law, and temporarily making the
c;v;l authority subservient to the military.
The whole tenor of his FIRST essay is de-
cidedly coppery, and indicates his inten-
,;o, N WOO the caresses of that traitorous
party in the future.
Although this ancient fossil was, for
four wears, a member of the Cabinet Of
President Lincoln. his present course is
scarcely to be wondered at by any one at
all conversant with the history of his
private and official life. In the carly por.
ton of the career of Thomas n. Benton.
Bates indited and published a pamphlet
entitled, The Chapel Hill History" a
tissue of SANDER and falsehood, for which
our indignant people condemned him to
political obscurity for over twenty years,
as a fitting reward. As Attorney-Gen-
eral, one of his first official acts was to
draw a treasury order for $4,000 fun
assessed C)l in favor of that arrant Seces-
sionist, Calhoun Benham, who had de-
clared that the streets of New York city
would grow grass if coercion" was COM
meneed, and who was then first released
from a military prison and on his way to
Join the rebel army, with which he after
wards, as aid to Beauregard, fought OF
fused at the battle of Shiloh. This heavy
draft was to compensate Benham for his
alleged services in the Almaden Mine
case, which services, it is scarcely neces-
sary to say, he never rendered. At the
opening of the Almaden case he expressly
disclaimed connection with the suit.
The Union party can well spare this
individual, and we do not imagine the
senseleSs illusions Of the worn out lad.
dle"-a malignant and mercenary crea.
ture, will do much danger to the Union
cause. He was Horace Greeley's candi-
date for President in 1860; and will
probably do for Horace in 1868.

AMERICAN GOLD SHIPMENTs.-Fr From
tables recently printed in the London
Times, we learn that John Bull gets the
lions share of his gold supply from the
United States. His rich placers in Aus
tralia, his trade with the gold-producing
countries of South America and India,
Weld him far less than our Pacific gold
coast. 1t will be remembered that our
Government has. in some cases, sent gold
direct from California to Europe for var
ious purposes. Our Pacific gold product
now goes, to very great extent, in Eng
lish bottoms to English ports. The Amer
lean shipper sells the sterling exchange
based upon his gold export, to the i'm
porters in New York and Boston. By
this method of " clearing up" he saves re-
shipment, war risk and interest. When
our military operations are entirely at an
end, and the Pacific Railroad is finished,
the currents of trade will experience most
mighty changes. Turn to the globe, and
measure the distance from Canton or
Calcutta to the United States by the way
of the Pacific. and compare it with the
European and Atlantic route. and tell US
if London and Liverpool, so far north and
so entirely of the road, may not be
stranded some day, as have those great
broker cities of Germany and Holland,
which gained their power and their wealth
by merely transacting the business Of pro-
ductive countries.

FRENCH CLAIM on SLIDELL's PROP
ERrY.-Sometime ago Sldell, the rebel
representative at Paris, gave mortgage
to French banker for sixty thousand
dollars upon his property in New Or
leans. The banker now claims the prop
erty under the laws of Louisiana, and suit
is to be instituted in the United States
Court, and it will be made test case. In
teresting and important legal points will
be raised under the confiscation act, the
decision of which will govern similar
cases hereafter. We shall probably find
that all the confsca;ed property in and
out Of rebellion has been mortgaged"
TO our neutral" European friends.
Uncle Sam will probably provide himself
with large piece of chalk, and "chalk
out all foreign claims on the con6scated
property of traitors. If the French and
English should not happen to like it, they
will be in devil of fix. What do they
think they will do about it,

THAT PROCLAMATION.

At the very outset of the rebellion, Eng
land. under the plea Of belhgerent
rights" neutrality, excluded from her
ports our war vessels, while her war ships
have continued to enjoy all the rights Of
hospitality in ours. Whatever excuse
England might have had for her exclusion
policy on the start, it must certainly be
invalid under the present state Of affairs.
The President has therefore issued a proc
lsmation notifying the Foreign Powers
that after a reasonable time their war ships
will be denied any privileges in our ports
which are not accorded to American ships
in theirs. There can be little doubt that
this notice will cause the removal Of the
obnoxious restrictions, and probably also
the withdrawal Of the concession Of bel
ligerent rights to the rebel States. The
removal of the restriction in regard to war
vessels will doubtless be used to pur-
pose by our Government. Our iron clad
fleet is now out Of service at home-it
may be either laid up in ordinary, or have
its sea- going qualities tested BY giving
portion Of it the benefit of foreign air.
The latter will quite certainly be preferred.
Hence some fine June morning, the Iron
sides may be discovered at Gibraltar, the
Dictator at Cherbourg. the Puritan At
Plymouth, the Monadnock in the Mersey.
and the Dunderburg in the Thames. OF
course there would be nothing out Of
character in this, nor would it be improper
for Vice Admiral Farragut to combine
and review his fleet at Spithead on
Fourth of July. And when once there it
might be found pleasant place to remain.
Iron is tolerably durable, and as carried
by these ships it is proved to be very little
liable to injury from Armstrong guns.
Then when England or France undertake
to convoy armies across the Atlantic to in
wade or over-awe US, the enterprise might
possibly get a hole through it and go to
the bottom. And after that, should the
fashion Of blockades be renewed, we don't
see how the Monadnock could be driven
out of the Irish channel. or the Dunder-
berg out of the British channel. Europe
has iron-clads to be sure, but she would
sleep better if she felt that she had some
thing to master these Yankee monsters.

THE ELRcTrvE FRANCHISE

The Jersey Copperhead who peddles
skim-milk through the columns Of the San
Francisco Spectator, and who went into
ecstacies over the sublime" spectacle Of
New jersey rejecting the Constitutional
Amendment, recently gave his valuable
opinion Of the Petaluma Argus, San Jose
Msresry, and Gold Hill News, as L" the
only defenders of negro suffrage on the
Pacific coast" Let him read the follow
ing from the Nevada Gasstts, and add that
excellent paper to his " black list"
But the question 10 not one Of social equal
ity. It is a simple matter Of political justice.
We do not care to associate with everybody
who is permitted to vote at the polls with US,
or who worships in the same church, or
whose children attend the same school. Far
from it. Plenty Of men jostle US at the polls.

people would be far preferable. Yet we do

BRIGHAM YoUHG.-This notorious hum
bug, who has on more than one occasion
set the laws of our Government at de-
fiance, seems anxious to maintain rep
utation for being either " drunk " or "dis-
orderly" all the time. Perhaps if our
Government should be compelled to send
another army to Salt Lake, the matter Of
compromise would not be so easily reached
as it was under the laundering Admins
tration of James Buchanan. In reference
to a speech which Brigham Young recent
" delivered, the Vsdette says:
We refer to the discourse Of Brigham
Young, in the Tabernacle, on Sunday last.
It was totally unfit Tor publication, Astounding
in low language that we would not reproduce
in print. II he had any subject We suppose
it might be expressed BY the word "civiliza
ton; !" and in handling it, he made some re,
markable statements and admissions, and
,yowed sentiments Of the most atrociuus
character, in this respect equalling anything
be ever uttered in the palmiest days Of" Nor
mon reformation" We take no exceptions
70 his .nathemas Of thieves and other disre-
putable persons; but when he advocates
murder, and recommends shooting down
and tripping open" Of offenders, leaving
policemen and other individuals to be judges
Of the necessity, We enter our decided protest
against any such summary proceeding, and
assure the Lion that, il his mandates are
obeyed, he shall be held accessory to the
crimes committed. Further, although he tells
u cit is nobody's id business how many
women he has," he will find, and that very
soon, that it Is somebody's business; that
power exists to compel obedience to the laws,
and even he will be forced to observe them.
It will be better for him, better for this peo-
pie, il they do nothing Of the kind he recon-
mends, ss rashly a. It would be foolish in
them to attempt. The tims has gone BY
when the Government would be tolerant OF
disobedience, and the nation has learned by
severe experience that il is not wisdom to
allow the disposition Of defiance to become
open sedition. before it deserves attention.
We apprehend that quick cure will be found
hereafter for all such evils, and men who
have possessed too much impunity will find
themselves visited with the strong hand OF
power, and taught the recpect it seems i'm
possible to make them feel by milder means.
