A Word TO BoLTERs.-We ind good reason
for reiterating assertion that we see no cause
for subdivision of the Union party Ihe war
being ended. the nation returns TO the legitimate
ayocations of peace, but the aims OF those whose
ideas are inimica to the perpetuation of equal
liberty Of all men must be defeated IN fnture at
the blllot-box they have heretofore been beaten
at the point Of the hayonet. To do this, the
unity of the great Union party of America must
be kept inviolate and untrammeled, either by
personal interests or local issues. The slightest
attempt TO impair its dominant strength
should be severely reproved, because 6nce shat
tered it will crumble slowly away and become
shattered link in the chain of the political his
tory of the nation. The Union party of Califor-
mia is like the great Union party of America, of
which it is strong and prominent branch the
embodied strength Of the people, associated TOR
the single object Of the perpetuation OF the Gov
eminent beaueathed us by the heroes Of the
Revolution and for the continuance to all our
people of the blessings of freedom TO all law
abiding citizens. The existence OF this party
should he Of equal duration with that OF the
Union itself
We are led to these remarks by the course OF
n strong political faction in the county of Nevada
one of the wealthest in the State. Finding
themselves beaten At the late primary election
and county convention held at the county seat
of that county they have already called for what
they term il :. Peoples Union Convention, to
be held at Nevada City to nominate = People :
Union Ticket assigning ms a reason therefor
their belief that the true object of political par
ties ought to be to carry out the interests OF the
people. instead Of to promote the private ends
of individuals and that when politicians, by
fraud and trckery, secure the nomination OF
incompetent persons to office TO serve themselves
instead of the public, it is the right and duty Of
the people to choose for themselves.
The right to hy the track because some local
issue does not succeed with a few of the wealth
lest citizens, is one which should not be allowed
TO gain ground 1t is a secession principle in
the abstract. Last Spring. when 4 local clique,
not recognized outside of the county got the
best of the city convention aud succeeded in Sc
curing the nominations Of their friends, large
number Of our best citizens, instead of abandon
ing the fight till the County Convention, set at
work to create di>organiza'ion in the Union ranks
by nominating separate municipal ticket, which
was, with single exception overwhelmingly de
feated The rebukc wholesome one, and
we hope the disorginzers in Nevada county will
be made to feel in like manner the just punish
ment due to those who would seek 10 break up
the party
What are the claims Of Low. Sargent, FELTON,,
and Cunningham compared with the integrity of
the Union party? If these men in their over
weening lust for political power seek to force
the people into adherence to their personal inter-
eSts at the risk of the dismemberment OF the
Union party discard them as unfit to serve the
people Until the work of reorganization in the
South is fully completed we shall need all our
political strength to keep Copperheads from ac-
luiring power, which they will surely do in Cal
forna if the Union party does not hold together.
