SqATs RrcHrs.-The large majority of the
people Of this country deteSt the doctrine Of
Stale Rights.-LNevada Transcript
While pretending to detest State Rights
your party is actually carrying it to the
extreme verge OF rcpudiating the Federal
authority. Every one Of you railers against
State Rights give the lie to your declara-
tons every day and hour Of your lives,
by refusing to accept greenbacks as Of
equal value with gold. The Federal Gov
eminent says they shall be legal tender
in payment OF all debts, you say they
shalt not In order to compel the General
Government to submit to your will, you
resort to State Rights. The State passes
Law multiplying the Act Of Congress with.
in its borders, and State Courts uphold
the Law by judicial opinions. Without a
resort to State Rights, how would you
avoid the National laws Yet your party
has the brazen faced impudence to pre-
tend q repudiSt ton Of State Rights. The
truth is, you stand ready at all times to
avail yourselves of State Rights in all
cases where your pocket is effected, or
your wishes thwarted in any manner by
che Federal Government. On the contra
~, Democrats stick to the law, and adv0
cate State Rights as guaranteed by the
Constitution ard explained by judicial de-
eisions. If a majority Of the people de-
test State Rights, SO understood, they de-
test the laws Of their country. stand ready
to break them, and are fit subjects for the
State prison. Il Marysville Express.

The President. in his message, says
the New York World, seems to be pos.
sessed with the notion that the war has
added to the population and wealth Of
the nation. He says We are mot in pro-
cess Of exhaustion" but ARE gaining in
strength, and may, if need be, maintain
the contest indefinitely" The Comp
troller Of the Treasury, Mr.. McCulloch.
seems to think differently, and We believe
he is right. He saws:
"When money is plenty. and fortunes
are being rapidly acquired, the country
is always in a feverish and unhealthy
state This is especially true at the pres
ent time. The enormous expenditures OF
the government, and the great advance
in prices since the commencement Of the
war, have made many persons suddenly
rich, and, upon fortunes suddenly &C.
quired, have followed reckless eXpendi
lures, extravaganza, waste. Speculation
has taken the place of sober and perse-
vering industry, and thousands are delu'
ded with the notion that the wealth of the
nation is being increased by the increase
of its Indebtedness"

DEFALCATIoS.-Mr. Patch, collector Of
Internal Revenue in San Francisco is
charged with being a defaulter to the
Government in the sum of twenty odd
thousand dollars. lie is loyalist Of the

for following in the footsteps Of Cameron,
whose honesty Lincoln Endorsed after he
had been convicted of swindling the Gov
eminent. Lincoln not only sanctioned
his swindling but rewarded him for it, by
appointing him Minister to Russia-thus
apparently offering q premium to villains.

Tue TENDENCIES OF PUBLIC DEBT.
take the following extract from "Arnold's
Lectures on Modern History:
Suppose, then. that statesman, ap-
paled by all those difficulties, resolves to
share the burden with posterity, and be,
gins to raise money by loans. No douot,
for the present, his work is greatly facli-
tated instead Of providing for the prin-
cipal Of the money which he wants, he
has only to provide for the interest of it.
But observe what follows. In the first
place, by an almost universal law Of our
nature, money lightly gained is lightly
spent, revenue raised at the expense OF
postcrity, is sure to be squandered waste
fully. Waste, as usual, begetting want,
the sums raised by loans will commonly
he large. Now these large sums are a
mortgage on all the property, on all the
industry, on all the skill and ability of a
country forever. Every acre OF land has
henceforth not only to maintain its owner
and his family, and to answer the just de-
Inands Of the actual public service, butt
hns also to feed one or more extraneous
persons besides the States creditors, or
their heirs, who in times past lent it their
money. Every man who would have la
bored twelve hours for the support of his
family and the public service of his own
generation, must labor one or two hours
in addition for the support of a stranger,
the States creditor. So with all its prop
erty, all its industry, with all its powers
thus burdened, thus strained to the very
extremity Of endurance, the nation is
committed to the vicisSitu1es Of all conf
ing time, to run the race with other ma
tons who are in the full freshness Of their
unstrained strength, to battle with occa-
sional storms which try the lightest and
stoutcst vessel, but in which one over
loaded till the timbcrs are well nigh start
ing, must necessarily expect to be found
cred.

PASrEBoARD PATRIors. Almost every
community is cursed with class of men
just now that cannot be better described
than by the heading of this article. The
Chicago Post describes them as follows:
lie is the most bcligerent demonstra-
tive Of beings. lie is continually want
ing to hurt somebody, and wanting that
everybody should know and believe it.
He is for fight--not tina. he is very apt to
enlist, unless in the Home Guard--but
whenever there is enlisting to be done
his voice is to be heard above all other
voices in urging others to do so. If the
emergency is great, or the danger immi-
nent, he gets terribly excited about it,
lie rushos round frGntically, used terrific
words and gesticulates in an alarming
manner, he expresses vehement desire
to rip and slash things; he blows like q
thunder gust; he Frances and kicks up
like an unrulY mule ON a railroad; he
snorts like a steam engine he gets red in
his face like boiled lobster; he roars
and bellows, and paws the ground with
much wrath; he CRASHES his teeth, and
shakes his fist at the cncmy-six or seven
hundred miles off; he expresses willing
ness to cut the threats of any number of
traitors, and wants to know why other
folks don't do it; he is turbulent; he
wants q muss in which somebody or any
body Except himscIf) shall get broken
head he eXhorts somebody to borrow q
meat-axe. and to spare none of them; he
insists upon demo!ishing things at a sin
gle blow, like quack medicine advertise
ment, and gives full particulars how to do
it. Notwithstanding his terrible habits,
he is not formidable or dangerous OBJ
ject. lie is careful to keep in the rear,
where, in case Of retreat, he will be sure
to reach a place of safety in the advance.

Low APPoINTMENr.-Gove Low is
distinguished for his keen sense of pro-
priety and his just appreciation Of the
eternal fitness Of things" and he has
manifested both in a remarkable degree
by appointing Felix O'Byrne, a notorious
hummer, BLACKBOARD and loafcr, to the
responsible position of Quartermastcr Of
the Sth Regiment of California Infantry.
Loyalty swallows almost anything, but
this disgraccful appointment has shocked
even loyalty. 1t is an insult to the re-
spectacle portion of the people Of Califor-
MIA. 1t is notice to honorable men that
they need not apply to Governor Low for
an appointment. 1t is low, a very low

PREsIDESF LINCOLN on WAR.-Lineoln's
Congressional record during the Mexican
war, proves most cOnclusively that be is

willing to sacrifice national honor--will.
ing to see the Stars and Stripes disgraced
willing 10 compromise end the war.
He sympathised deeply with the ''poor
Mexicans who were lighting for their
homes and altars"-sympathized With the
enemies ofhis country--and voted al ainst

following language:
Suppose you go to war, you carnot fight
always, and when, after much loss on both
sides, and no gain on either. you cease fight
ing,the idertical questions as to terms of inter.
course are again upon you"
The Administration journals vindic-
lively denounce Democrats for uttering
similar sentiments, cali them secessionists
and traitors, and insist Upon arresting and
Furnishing them for "uttering reasonable
language" They had better read the
speeches Of their master before censurins
others for reterating his sentiments. In
condemning Democrats they rebuke Mr..
Lincoln.
If Lincoln is right why continue the
war? Why, if we cannot gain anything,
but must lose, and settle OUT terms Of in.
tercourSe after the war, why not initiate
prudent steps for settlement now p
Why not save the millions of aching
hearts, the vast amount of treasure, and
more than all, why not save the remnants
of confidence and good will still existing
between the two sections and thousands
of precious lives, as a basis for future har-
mony! Why exasperate beyond endu-
rance and make desolate happy homes,
before listening to propositions for peace?
Go on with the war, and conquered or
not conquered, there will be no more
Union. A Union Of strife, of envy and
jealousy cannot last, let the people re-
member this. And let them remember,
too, that the war is prosecuted only for
the purpose of freeing the slaves of the
South, and enriching shoddy contractors
and horde Of rapacious ofAce. holders.
