SECOND WARD UNION MEErING.-The
regular meeting of the Second Ward Union
Club of Gold Hill takes place this even
ing. We again urge the Importance OF a
good attendance. The campaign is just
opening, and those who first take the field
can secure the advantageous ground. The
political contest this Fall will be short. 1t
will extend over u period Of little more
than two weeks; and if Union men will
interest themselves in the canvas for that
short period they are sure of a decided
victory. The easiest, most pleasant and
surest way of getting up a Union feeling
is to attend the meetings of the Union
Clubs. They can be made the most agree
able Of all places of resort and most bene-
fetal to the party. Come u every man.
come out, and bring your neighbor.

The e

"For myself, fcllow-citizens, pardon
me if l say my course is fixed. Others
may hesitate; others may turn away from
those great truths which make the far
reaching brightness Of the republic ; others
may seek a temporary favor by a tempo
rary surrender. I shall not. The victory
of blood which has been 30 shamefully
won must be confirmed by a greater VIC
tory, so that the renowned words of Abra-
ham Lincoln may be fulfilled, and 'this
nation under God shall have q new birth
of freedom, and government of the people,
by the people, and for the people, shall
not perish from the EARTH To this end /
seek no merely formal Union, seething
with smothered curses. but a practical,
moral and political unity, founded on
common rights. knit together by common
interests, and inspired by a common faith,
where our constitution, interpreted anew,
shall be q covenant with life and q league
with heaven, and liberty shall be every
where not only q right but a duty. John
Brown, on his way to the scaffold, where
he was to atone with life for a deed Of
self-sacrifce, stopped to take up a slave
child. That closing act was the legacy Of
the dying mar to his country. That ben
ediction we must continue and fulfill.
The last shall be first F.; and 80, in this new
order. equality, long postponed, shall be.
come the master principle Of our system
and the very frontispiece of our constitu-
ton. The rebellion was to beat down
this principle, by founding a government
on the alleged 'inferiority of a race.
Taking up the gauntlet, I now insist that
the insolent assumption Of the conspira-
tors shall not prevail. This is not the
first time that I have battled with the bar
barism of slavery. I battle still, as the
bloody monster retreats to its last citadel,
and, God willing, I mean to fight it out
on this line, il it takes what remains to
me of life ."-Senator Summer at the Mas,
Rep. State Contention.

A FACT FOX CONSIDERATION. - The
cover, traitors, who hate the National cur
rency because it was the means that en-
abled the Government to whip the rebels

currency from circulation by bonding it.
II is estimated that there is S7Ol, 900 900
Of this currency in circulation, for which
i. is better adapted than any ether paper
money. This large amount of the Ma
tional deb, pays no interest. which is an
saving to the people. II it

bear interest, and who can show that such
a heavy additional tax would benefit the

POLITICS IN

The Democratic, or Copperhead, party
in Colorado are about as much on the
rampage as the spawned and equity fac
ton o! the same name in this State are.
The following political "paster" sounds
very like as though it might have been
written in Virginia city-just over the hill
and published in the new Copperhead
organ The Daily Tod. But, in truth, we
find it the leading editorial in the Gazette,
published in Denver City. It is worth
reading, there are quite a number of origi-
nal as well as comical ideas in the produc-
ton, considering that they are from q
Colorado Democratic sheet. We hope the
"organ" in Virginia will copy, the ideas
are so refreshing, and rather eclipse Cax-
toms Tahoe Sea Serpent. Just read it,
for the fun of the thing:
Let US gather up our skirts and grid our
loins. for the cohorts Of those who killed
our Douglas ore marching in the midnight
hour. The spirit Of the Little Giant Of
Illinois stands like a Colossus at Rhodes
with one foot on New York, the other on
California, and cries for vengeance on their
heads to those who fought with him in
years of auld lang syne, but while he
points the finger of whitening scorn at
those accursed traitors who for shoddy
purposes, have left the serried ranks of his
host to join those Of the Black Baal of
Egypt. Methinks we hear his deep STEM
torian voice, from the cayernous chest be-
meath that shaggy name, saying in thunder
tones
"Godown earthly 10 your mother earth,
Unwept, unhOnored, and unsung."
All of which is travestied as follows by a
writer in the Denver NeTs, signing himself
Soldier:
Let US gather up our skirts "a Ia jeff.
Davis) and grid our loins Qook out or the
boots will betray you) for the cohorts of
those who killed u Douglas (and the
Copperheads who assassinated our Lin
coln) are marching in the midnight hour
latter the postmaster). The spirit Of the
Little Giant of Illinois stands like a Colos-
sus at Rhodes (Which has tumbled down
like the Copperhead parity, with n foot
on New York the other on California,
(what a straddle! 1000 miles y and cries
for vengeance on their heads (Northern
traitors) to those who fought with him in
the years Of auld lang syne, but while
he points the finger Of whitening scorn at
those accursed traitors (the Copperheads
who opposed the war; who for shoddy
(cowardly) purposes, have left the serried
ranks of his host to join the Black Baal Of
Egypt (the Chicago platform). Methinks
we hear his deep stentorian voice, from
that cavernous chest (Which is good), be-
meath the shaggy name (Which is better).
saying in thunder tones (the following
perversion of a poem by Walter Scott):
Go down earthly 10 your mother earth,
Unwept. unhonored, and u%nSung."
Captain George West also takes liberties
with said editorial, as follows:
Polly Wiggle, in an astute and labored
editorial this morning, declares she has
come to the Incorporating conclusion
to "gsther up her skirts" If she has to
20 over as much ground in doing it as it
took to tell it, it will be a pretty aspect.

at Genoa on Saturday evening, at which

New Process. - The San Andreas
Register has been informed that Mr.. Bowie,
who has been engaged in building a mill
near that town, has perfected a process Of
reducing quartz so as to extract oil the
gold from the rock. 1t is done by means
of heated steam, which is brought into
contact with the rock and slackens it as
water slackens lime. He has made a prac-
teal test Of a lead situated in Angels,
which has been worked. but which could
never be made to pay over three dollars
per ton. The Register also learns that BY
this process the rock now yields five hun
bred dollars per ton. Should this be cor
rect. and such might be the case, it will
undoubtedly bring about a revolution in
quartz mining. which will make that one
of the richest sections in the State; for by
this process nearly every lead in that
county would pay.

A FELLOW FROM THE C]oUNTRY-oN CRY
FAsHIoSs.-The editor Of the Journal who
lives away down in Wilmington, Los
Angeles county, was lately on q visit to
San Francisco, and in abiding to the
fashions on Montgomery street he unscru-
pulously says:
1t was formerly customary for persons
to speak Of the colors Of the rainbow"
but now the "colors Of Montgomery
street" is a more expressive term +; and
while gazing on the varied hues, the eyes
are dazzled and the times seem changed.
1t was once easy to distinguish between
male and female costumes; but since the
capture Of jeff. Davis, and the general
confusion now prevalent in San Francisco,
one has to be very cautious not to salute
a lady for a gentleman and vicc versa.
Quite a number Of females appear TO be
wearing their sold mans" coat; others
cover their snow-white necks with a stiff
garotte collar, and they 90 sailing along

ladies' vanity ; gives work to the milliners
and dressmakers /; enriches the merchants.
