ATTEMpT TO BREAK UP THE UNION
- PARTY.

Panty.
The S. F. Flag. newspaper gen.
,rally received as the exponent OF the
radical clements of the Union party OF
California, declares that the Union
party has fulfilled its destiny. The
n necessity which induced the Original
Renphlicans TO coalesce with the War
Democracy is said to be at an ond'
The War Democracy would not JOIN
the Union organization without got
ting the most of tho Offices ana 'he'r
rapacity is so great that the true blue
Republicans are compelled 'o split
with them. The Flag speaks OF the
Union party in this style:
The infamies perpetrated in the
name of the Union party are lnnu-
merable, and the Republicans at whose
cost they have been brought all
through the political transactions OF
the State, from, the smallest town
elections, through the public affairs OF
this city, through the Senatorial en-
tanglement in the election OF members
of the Legislature, through the selec>
tion of G. secession sympathizer for the
Supreme Judgeship, through the or
ganization of the Legislature to the
making of Senatorial arrangement,
bv which the State and all it's respect.
able citizens will be outraged, demand
that the good in The Union party snail
be separated from the bad, and that
f the coalition, which was intended tor
GOOD. but has verged considerably
, 1pon the bad, shall be broken. TO
this wise end, the honest members OF
the Legislature who arc indebted 10
i. the Republicans for their prominence,
are appealed to for the prevention OF
e the browning shame, by which Sena"
- torial and Gubernatorial tricksters
and vile leaders of factions, and VIII
lainous money jobbers, intend to ge'
possession of the State, and GRASP
10 the control of every interest.
u This style of writing is very muci
10 practieed nowadays, and if it is per
= sisted in, it requires no prophetic gu
to dssqBSjjRss6 70 ies give into the hands of th
Democracy the control of public affair
q ont he Pacific Coast. It is not reason
J able to believe that the originators o
y this scheme for the reorganization o
10 the Republican party, are blind to tn
:, fact that division is defeat; and, from
u thence, we deduce the conclusion
y that, with this object in view, certain
% parties are working for the disintegra
20 tion of the Union party, with view
to find their reward in the success O
y" friends who are in the Democratic
~ ranks, and always on hand for rever
o. sion of the spoils. In this State, fo
= instance, we can see that by the NAL
X feasance of public officer, degre,
ot OF odium attaches to the Union party
A This public officer has a friend VIII,
10 has been faithful among the faithles
= in the Democratic ranks. He, stand
:. ing ready to catch the drippings o
10 the sanctuary, is chronic candidat,
for the same Office now filed by his
b. Union friend; and when the harmo
NOUS Democracy meet in convention
this nnterrified individual can promis,
ot them that, if he is placed on thei
d, ticket for the Office in question, hi
ls friend in the Union ranks will do al
n in his power to render Unionism OBJ
- noxiousto the public sentiment.
- Without asserting there is any sucl
l. scheme a-foot in Oregon, there ar,
ss indications that some such game is tt
IL be played on this coast in the electio,
n next year.
