SHASTA COURIER.

FRoM an article in the Marysyilla Appeal,
two long for our columns, we extracs the
following:
A set of guerrillas are making war upon
the party that has the hottest and highest
record ever Obtaining power in this country.
1t is the party that has saved the country
from dissolution 1t is the party to which
we owe all, and through the instrumentahty
of which are able to-day to say we have a
country" But for the Union party the
United States would have been divided into
independent States. or into two or three con
ficting and jealous Republics. Perhaps in
to warning. jarrng aud dependent States. as
weak and vascilating as those of Mexico,
the prey If France and England. Through
the power. patriotism and firmness of the
Union party. composed of old Democrats,
Repub leans and Aboltionisfs, Americans
can boast Of a country-a great. free and
Republican Government. The first great
issue then before the people OF California is
the maintenance of this great party. II the
Union party is kept intact. we are assured
that the work Of re organizing the Union. o
nearly completed. will be finished If tho
Union party is sustained the amendment to
the Federal Constitution, forever abol shing
slavery. will be endorsed by the requisite
number of States IF the Union party is sus
tanned the Rebel States will be reconstructed
with Republican Constitutions. and the
great irritating question of slavery, which
has cost so many thousand lives and so
many millions Of dollars, will forever be put
at rest,

We honestly believe that if President Lin
coin had lived until the resent time that the
Marysvile Appeal. and other papers of like
ilk, would have been hostile to him and his
administration Quincy Union.
When Union paper bolts and goes over
to the common enemy it is expected it will
exercise itself to justify its perfdy. If the
Appeal had opposed Lincoln its course
could be no Justification for the bolting

In Tehama, bolters excuse their ineffable

HARMoMY.-The late Union Convention
held at Copperopols. was one of the mosi
warmly contested Conventions ever held il
this county The friends of he several can
didaies were evenly divided in numbers, and
on some bpilpts there was tie. As nat

party would lie divided Boiling becomes

State the defeated party in the convention

The Cox Meetasig ON Thursday
Might. Ft


Wellisteneu with great patience to the
'speecAr rof'9en, Cox, the Republican candi-
date for Governor of Ohio, Thursday night,
end must say, for downright misrepresenta-
ticaJf the position of the Democratic party
ssplainly announced in their resolutions,
adopted by the State Convention, beats any
thing we have yet heard. He not only did
this, but slandered the names and world
wide fame of JEFFERSON and MADISON, by
saying that they, too, in the resolutions OF
1903 and '99, had inaugurated the doctrines
of Secession and Modification, which re-
suited in the dissolution of the Union.
Now, does not Gen, Cox know-and If he
does not, he but adds ignorance to mem
dacity-th the immortal authors of those
resolutions were accused Of this same her
esy by the Federalists in those days, and
they both Indignantly refuted the SANDER,
and put those original consolidationlsts, of
which his party is but the offshoot, to ever
lasting shame9 But it should have been
sufficient for Gen. Cox, If he intended to be
fair or honest in his criticisms upon the
Democratic platform upon this question, to
have told his audience that the Democratic
party had expressly said. in connection
with these resolutions of '9s and '99, they
did repudiate both Secession and Nullifica-
tion, tor the reason that the Federalists, or
those who opposed the adoption ofthe Con-
stitution, and all the isms that have ever
opposed the Democratic party since that
day, have kept that SANDER alive. Alas
for party that is driven to the extremity
OF misrepTesenting such patriots and states
men as JEFFERSON and MADISON, one the
author of the Declaration of Independence,
and tthe other OF the Constitution of the
United States. On the whole, we think
every candid man, who reads and thinks,
will agree with us, that Gen. Cox's speech
was beneath the dignity of one who seeks
to be the first executive officer of the grea,
State of Ohio. ...,.,'.,. .atri nj
But ScHENcK, the arrestor of women and
funeral professions and of Vienna notoriety,
followed in Iisusual vein of vindctive vitu-
peration, against the whipped rebels, and
in opposition to President JoHNsoN's policy
on reconstruction. Poor old BOB! We
fear he will never forgive vALLANDIGHAM.
He seems to take special pains to try to
convince everybody that VALLANDIGHAM is
the whole Democratic party. Well, prob
ably there is reason for this. VALLANDIG-
HAM, as he is always able to do, has lacerat-
ed his rhinoceros hide so often in years
gone by, that 1t seems the wounds will new
er heal; hence he annoys every body In his
speeches by his TRADES against his old tri-
umphant antagonist.

COx,s speech.

General Cox said in his speech on Thurs
day night in front of the State House, thai
he and his party were not opposed to the
doctrine of State rights, as reserved in the
Constitution. VIII the General please tell
his audience when he makes his next
speech what rights, he thinks, the States
have according to the practice of his
party. We are in. the dark upon this sub
ject. The Constitution says every person
charged with an infamous crime, shall have
speedy and impartial trial, by indictment
and trial by jury, and that no person shall
be deprived OF lite or liberty without due
process of law. His party puts citizens in
dungeons without ever letting them know
for what offense they are imprisoned, or
ever having trial at all. His party hangs
citizens, until dead, without Indictment or
jury, upon doubtful, or er parte testimony.
In the States of Kentucky and Maryland
soldiers are prohibited from interference in
elections by State law. His party place
soldiers at every voting precinct, and Of
ficers sit by and either admit or reject
whom they please, to the privilege OF ex-
ercising the elective franchise.
The Constitution says the liberty Of the
press and speech shall not be iniringed.
His party arrests citizens for the freedom OF
speech, and stop the press at pleasure. In
short, the Constitution says all powers not
granted to the General Government by the
States are reserved. Where does his party
get the power, then, to establish schools in
the States, contrary to the statute law in
the States, and where do they get the power
to say in Kentucky, you shall not own
certain kind Of property, which is guaran-
teed more strongly as right in that instru-
ment than the right to any other, kind of
property? 5d H .i Har#
The Constitution says: "Treason shall
not work corruption of blood; nor shall
confiscation of property for treason last
longer than the life of the traitor" His
party not only make more traitors without
conviction, which is also a prerequisite
under the Constitution, but they sell in fee,
the pr perty ofpersonsonl declared rebels
by some military commander. Municipal
officers of towns are elected according to
law, and his party say they shall not be
sworn in and exercise the functions Of the
Office. These thinge are done almost every
week, and yet General Cox says be and his
party are not opposed to State Rights as
reserved under the Constitution. Will the
General please tell us what these rights are,
for we don't know, under the rule of his
party and himself where they lie hidden

sThe elections this fall will determine
nothing, except, perhaps, that in the Mid
die States and the West the Republican
leaders are too weak for the work they have
undertaken to do, and that, therefore, they
can not lead the people to victory. The
great body ofthe party are not going to be
very enthusiastic over such fellows as Cox,
of Ohio, or dragged through dirty politi-
cal contest after banner which bears the
name of either Thurlow Weed or Horace
Greeley. The state of uncertainty in which
the country is In relative to the Presidents
policy, Is not favorable to Republican sue
cess; but before next year at this time,
this uncertainty must be dispelled, and the
people will know whether johnson is for
them or against them" s8eds9 iou rl
