OROVILLE. SATURDAY, NAY 6.
The Lesson.

1t may be safely assumed that the rebellous
soul is dead, il the Calhoun secession doctrine
of State supremacy is found to be rendered
powerless for future Vaccinations. If the rebel
armies and leaders only have been captured
and scattered. and the vital principle which
sctuated them has not been subdued, then the
work of restoring the National supremacy bas
not yet been finished. The lesson taught by
Andrew Jackson suticed for Calhoun, but bis
disciples, treating with contempt the warning
Of Old Hickory, went on quietly maturing their
disunion schemes, and instllling hostility to the
free institutions and people OF the North into
the minds OF the Southern masses, and, when
the moment which seemed auspicious for the
Inauguration OF secession had srrived-having
had control OF the Government through the
Democratic party and having used that control
to secure, as nearly as possible, exclusive con-
troll Of its arms and military supplies-they
suddenly proclaimed The Union dissolved. That
they were confident of success, there can be DO
doubt That their States Rights" doughface
Copperhead dupes 10 the North believed in
and hoped 70. their success, is just as certain
No better proof Of this is wanting than their
assertion, to the very last, 'rhat the Southern
armies were not defeated and would yet be
victorious" Now that the armies of Lee and
Johnston, with their commanders, are paroed
prisoners, and JEFF Davis and lis Cabine,
fugitives from justice-Dow that the President
OF the United States, chosen by the unanimous
voice Of the loyal people, has perished by the
assassin hand of the rebellion 10 its dying
throes, aud the nation mourns another martyr
to the sacred cause Of Humanity-the nation,
in its hour of triumph is openly and de6antly
insulted by Virginia representative OF States
Rights and Secession, the conquered aud hu
INFLATED yet arrogant and dogmatical Lee.
The lesson seems still to have been lost on this
champion OF the Old Dominion, notwithsand-
ing her sons have perished under his banner in
the fruitless, disastrous struggle which has
desolated her SOIL If this principle continues
TO exercise any control or voice in the South
if any concession is made TO this principle in
seorganizing the rebel States-the Union will
still possess the elements of dissolution, which
will again become active when ever pretext
can be found. We trust, however, that Presi-
dent johnson, while guided by the landmarks
marked out by bis lamented predecessor, will
eyhihit the frmness towards the vet untaupht
dsunionists, by which bis prototype, President
jackson, checked the demonstration Of the
father OF disunion, Calhoun. The threat OF
Jackeou, that if an overt act wns committed,
be would, "By the Eternal hang the leaders as
high as Haman," must be carried into execution
by Andrew johnson. Thus, secession will
perish with its champions, and never again
threaten the Government.

We bear much OF Long Hairs" and "Shori
Hairs" which means. We suppose, that there
is q division, or prochvity to division, in the
Union party. Whether there be danger of this
or not, we are not well informed, but We do
know that divisions and dissensions in the
Union party are to be deprecated. The neces-
sity for unity in the Union party is as vital for
the welfare OF the country now as at any time
since the rebellion broke out. There are great
questions to be settled, before the Government
can be placed upon o safe and sure foundation.
Unless these questions are properly settled,
rebellion will be almost sure to rear again its
hdeous front. A political party united, bar
mouious, and overwhelming in numbers, wields
q vast moral power, fearful for its opponents to
contemplate Aud never was party of such
characteristics more needed for the welfare Of
our country than now. We have conquered
the rebels 10 arms let it DOW be the crowning
glory of the Union party that they are able to
settle the Government upon firm and enduring
basis.
When the question was Union or disunion,
there was no room for dissensions among
patriots. But now political questions, complex,
intricate, and diversified in character, must
arise, and in proportion (soch is human nature)
men are prone to differ and diverge from each
other. And in just this rest the hopes of those
who sympathize with the rebellion. They
already sDuff the breeze-put on airs-and coo
as gently as sucking doves. And why should
not Union men still remain united 10 one firm
and invulnerable phalan1? All former ques-
tons which divided former parties are in a
state Of desuetude, beyond all hope OF resusci-
tation. The last hope of rebels and traitors
now hangs on creating divisions among Union
men upon political questions. and exciting dis
sensons in regard to spoils of Office. To this
end, nothing will be left undone that human
malignity, desperation and ingenuity can devise,
imagine or invent. The "guyascutus" of States
Rights will probably be paraded by them as
the chief lever of discord. by this time, the
carcass of slavery stinketh," and this will scarce
figure in the future; but every other whm and
crotchet OLA diseased, defeated and malignant
party will be used to distract the minds of men
and fritter away the strength Of the Union
party. We have a President-a man of the
people-who has had much experience as q
statesman let US confde in him, that be will
lead US, as a great, glorious aud triumphant
party, for the good Of the country, 10 peace,
safety and happiness. There is much left to
be said in connection with this question, which
we may see fit to say hereafter. We will
mention but one thing The enemy hope, as
the Union party is composed Of patriots of all
former parties, that they can effect division
in their ranks, by playing upon the shibboleth
