A Few Words Il Waning.

The seeds of discord attempted TO be
sowu in the Union party BY two Or three poll
ticians in this State, who have been allowed to
hold The position of leaders. are likely tore
coil upon their heads and cause the people to
reduce them 10 the ranks, Those who,
through personal rivalry alone, are striking at
the strength and harmony Of the Union party
should at once be set aside as unfit for posi-
iion-and unfit TO lead an intelligent party
The country press and the people are speaking
out upon this matter. They know that the
united Union party, was the means of crushing
out the Shareholders rebellion and preserving
the old Union, and that the continuance Of
that organization is highly necessary in recon-
strnciing the States and carrying out The prin-
ciples for which they fought. To those who
are attempting TO divide the party the Quincy
Union addresses few plain words as follows !:
We desire to speak plainly,-it is our duty
to do So The action of the party in the
counties of Shasta aud Nevada. present the
issues in form that we cannot, if we would
dodge it. In one, the wing known as the
short Hairs" carried the County Conven-
tion, and the 81 long haired chaps bolted,
aud called al antagouistie Convention. In
the other, the men with elongated capita
ries," triumphed. and then the boys" or
short hairs. bolted and in this latter case, the
boiling is said to be sanctioned by Governor
Low,-at least it is so publicly urged by the
Nevada Transcript, the organ Of A. A. Sar-
gent. If this be true, (but we do not believe
it), it is incumbent on Governor Low TO place
on record. his denial to the charge at once
that his friends may know how they stand as
to his chance for the Senatorial toga. On the
contrary, if the Long Hairs in Shasta are act.
ing under the advice Of Aaron A. Sargent, we
ought TO know that also; for it is the duty of
the great Union party TO teach both these gen
tlemen that they are not the owners of the
party, nor can they swap and trade US of like
cattle. If they choose to remain in the ranks
of the Union party. and either one of them
should be chosen Senator, they will receive the
support of all honest Union men but if they,
or either Of them. fly off at tangent for spite
or Jealousy, and thus weaken the party, they
eau blame nobody but themselves, if their
friends throughout the State should tell them,
4" We cannot trust you.H
But aside from all questions Of policy, and
the spoils of Office, there is the great underly-
ing principle of perfect nationality, which is
too weak in our opponents, to admit of any
discord in our rank. Better to throw to the
winds all the aspirations of the Lows, and
Sargents, and Phelpses, and Pixeys Of the
land, for Senatorial honors. than TO see the
Union Temple over'hrown by the madness of
its friends. Better for each of them 10 retire
forever from politics than that their names
should stand In the way of perfect harmony
If they will not do it, and insist OH dividing
rather than conciliating they will find the
people ready TO throw them all overheard with
hearty 20 heave, and that, too, without much
ceremony.
