won by tie sword. If it is duty to
succeed, then it is duty TO lay down
such n platform as we can all stand uni
ted upon.
We have the most hearty respect for
the gentlemen who will assemble at
GAINESVILLE next week. They are earnest,
patriotic, unsclfish men. But parties,
like armies, have their skirmishers in
front. Their placeiisin advance, and it
is not best that the main force should be
up wife them. Now, Gen. PAINE and
those whom he represents, are the Skin
mishers for the great Union Party of
this State. Right well do they perform
their work = carefully surveying the
ground and uncoyering every hidden foe.
Their only fault is, they sometimes try
to fight out the main battle on tie Skin
mish line. Be patient, gentlemen. Give
the great columns time TO move up in
line of battle, and the victory will be sure.
fhe "logic Of events" is hurrying US
forward fast enough. Mems opinions are
changing rapidly. Old prejudices are
melting away. To-day more has been
accomplished thnn the most earnest anti
slavery man hoped for during the first
year of the war. Let us be patient then,
and not chafe if the whole work Of polt-
zeal regeneration at the South is not done
in day. Let US hold fast what we al

IT is stated that the amount of the secret
service fund voted to the President last year
was $4,000, 900, or as much as the entire
cost of supporting the Government Tor s year W

money 90 MayysriHe ETpress.
Such question, coming from any other
source. would hardly merit reply. But that
man. if he knows anything, knows that the
whole of that fund is necessary to keep his
kind within the bounds of decency, and
the probabilities are that further appropri-
alton will be necessary to purchase rope to
hang them, and pay the expenses of going

A Few Questions.

Mr.. EDITOR Il wish to ask few ques
tions of vital Importance to the Union party
in this State, through the medium of your
truly loyal journal.
1t is we'll known fact that in this county
there are few men land am happy to say
only few who have been long identified
with the Union party of the country, and
who, by their acts up to this time, have been
beyond suspicion of being actuated by any
other motives than true patriotism; conse
quently such men are placed in position TO
of our country (the copperheads and seces-
sionists. if by any thoughtless or Intentional
acts of theirs they so array themselves IN
opposition to the regular Union organization
of the State in such manner that the cop
perheads and secessionists may rally around
them, and by their support disorganlze or
break up the party which, by Its exertiohs,
has saved to the Union, and to the support OF
the Administration for the past four years,
the State of California.
In reply these men answer, II the cop
perheads, &C., chose to support US, we cannot
help it !; their votes count"
l do not consider that fair answer. l
ask if these men can conscientiously, as true
and loyal patriots laying aside all selfish
ness AID having only tn good of the country
at heart. (which | contend all loyal men
should do at this time, so place themselves
that the result, if successful, shall strengthen
the copperheads and secessionists, and weak
en- the Union party of this State. and then
ask and expect the confidence and assistance
of the friends Of free government, and the
upholders of right against wrong. VIII not
all loyal men consider such action on the
part of these individuals more censurable
than if they had not heretofore acted with
the Union party? In the name of our com
mon country, still bleeding at every pore
from the stabs inflicted by the rebels and
their sympa,hizers, and devoid of all personal
interest in the matter, | ask these men to
hesitate before they 90 further, and If not
too late. retrace their steps and keep within
the Union organization. Has the time yet
arrived when true men can cultivate opposi
ton to the Union party for mere selfish ends?

town met at the Court House, for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for the celebra-
tion of the S9th Anniversary of our indepen
dence The meeting was a large one, and
the feeling predominant seemed to be that
the dae should be celebrated on a scale of
grandeur that would, as near as may be.
assimilate to the greatjoy felt by loyal men
in the re-establishment of peace in our ccun-
try. and in the further fact that on that oc-
casion the Declaration Of Independence-of
freedom-will read right.

Arrangements Messrs. J. S. Follansbee. j..
n Chappell. VIM. E. Hopping, c. c. Bush
