that all true Union men can now we'll
afford to lay aside former and recent diff
ferences Of opinion and join in the coming
contest against the common enemy. The
call ofThe County Central Committee OF
San Francisco makes no discrimination as
to friends of the President, or " Radical"
supporters of the original but discarded
policy Of Congress. The Aka, Call and
Bulletin, on one hand, and the appeal and
a number of other interior papers on the
other, declare that the time and opportu-
nifty has com for harmonizing the lately
~disagreeing elements Of the party. The
great "s,and.out" on this occasion, in
California, is the Sacramento Union, which
expresses huge disgust because Senator
Dixon and those who have associated
with him politically, in the Republican
party in Congress, on the reconstruction
question, voted for the Constitutional
Amendments. It does not wish to des-
troy the Union party, or defeat its pros
poets for continued success! o, No!
II does not desire a call made for conven-
tons in such q form as to disrupt the Or
eanization. We knew very well, all
along, that the radical rampssins OF that
sheet was for the purpose Of breaking up
our party. It's conductors never had any
heart in the Union cause. Their God is
money; and whether that be procured
from the sale Of their papers or at the
gambling table is a matter of no moral
moment with them. The Sacramento
Union supported Willard Fillmore for
P~resident-in its rice water style-and
Willard Fillmore, the Know Nothing
nominee for Chief Executive, in 1856, de-
clared in a speech at Albany that the
election Of q Northern President would
be j~us,ify,ng cause for the secession Of the
Southern States. Everybody that has
any acquaintance with that concern knows
that all the sympashies of its conductors
are, like their ~convivial associations, with
the ancient aud right damnable chivs. The
files Of that paper will show, proyerbial
as it has been for its indecisive stand and
ambiguous language on all political ques.
tons prior to the war, that it declared, in
substance, that the success Of the Repub-
lican party would be the death Of the Ma
ton. When the war broke out, it was
found, very readily, that it would not pay
to talk treason, and so the conductors
agreed on oath over a game of draw poker
that they would support the Union side.
In so doing they consulted their pecuniary
interests, repudiated the statable points in
the past political record Of their journal
and-astonished the natives.
This being understood, the people will
have no difficulty in comprehending fully
what further is to be revealed. in this con.
n~ec,ion. The Union is now controlled
as business "policy"-by the Dutch Flat
Toll Road Company. Now the Dutch
Flat Company were anxious to have the
"Radicalism" Of Congress go to the eS-
treme of SO amending the Constitution as
to provide that al men of adult age, born
or two years in the country. should have
a vote. They would thus be enabled to
vote their eleven thousand Cinnamon in
C~alifornia-and in Nevada, afterwards
and so compel u State and probably
California to amend the State Constitution
and give them q few more millions Of
bonds for their little enterprise. As the
organ Of the Unsuitable monopolists, the
Union is legitmately mad at the square
back-down of Congress and the virtual
acceptance even by Thad. Stevens Of the
Conservatives policy" You see, if they
could only have Cinnamon vote, in Cali
fornia, the Union would have some iniu-
ence, and the Dutch Flat Co. would pos
sess a sure thing in eleven thousand avail
able ballots.
Again: The Sacramento river is rising
faster than the walls Of the State capitol ;
and that the poor people who are induced
to stay there will be flooded out next
year, is very probable. At all events, it
is stated as certain that If the levee en-
bankments are raised proportionate to the
bed Of the river, by the time the capitol is
finished a man standing on the wharf at
Sacramento will look down upon the
cupola Of the commonwealth'ediice. Now
it is important, to the Union that the meet
ings Of the Legislature be held at Sacra-
mento, as it thus preserves q monopoly Of
full Legislative reporting. The vote CT
the eleven thousand Cinnamon referred to
would be no uncomfortable strength to
rely upon against the rising popular de-
mand for a removal Of the State Offices to
a dry piece of ground.
Cinnamon not being allowed to vote,
the Sacramento Union has q mission Of re-
vense to fulfll. by ~endeavoring to break
up the National party. And under all
the circumstances it is not strange that in
its chagrin over the past and frenzied am
bition for the future, as we have noted
them, i. should appear, TO the few intelli-
gen, men who vacate a portion Of their
time by reading its editorials, that the Union
occasionally under the delusion that moon
eyed Celestials have been endowed with
political franchise. In fact, Q California
exchange remarks that it is nov more than
ever plain to be seen that the man was
justified who first dubbed the Dutch Flat
swamp organ q "rice-waser sheet" The
quality Of It's gabble is always the same,
though sometimes it drools and sometimes
it spu..ers-the distinction It constitutes
between its mild" and It's vigorous"
writing.
