No Compromises.

party. met at Sacramento on Tuesday last,
and adjourned on Wednesday, stepped to the
lips in infamy. They nominated John Bid.
we'll for Governor. J. G. McCalum for
Secretary of State, VIM. Jones for Controller,
and E. G. Jefferis for State Printer; and
then, with insolence unparalleled, these
traitors to the organization they abandoned,
passed resolution that Mey would not com
promise with the Union Party while George
G. Gorham stood at the head of the regular
Union ticket We tell these traitors that
the time will come when they will be found
crawling on their bellies to lick the dust
from the shoes of those they have so wanton-
ly sought 20 injure. There are no COM
promises to be made. If the traitors who
met in Sacramento desire to compromise, let
them carry their wares to the Democratic
party, where they belong; there they may
find purchasers. who, after the bargain has
been made and the sale effected, will kick
them out of the camp. There are no com !.
promises to be made. The gauntlet has
been thrown down and the Regular Union
Party accepts the gauge Of battle under the
leaders they have already chosen, from the
beginning to the end. And they will win.
No such treacherous crowd as that which the
capital city of the State invited 10 and har-
bored in their midst, at the dictation Of its
journals. can ever disturb the onward pro
gress of right and justice. George c. Cor
ham will be elected the next Governor of
this State, and with him the State ticket,
and it will be Gods blessing to triumph
with the party purified by the extingulsh-
ment of the traitors who assembled at Sac
rameuto. Such persons have kept men out
of the Union party now that they are out
tod m Mi sb
the mission of its formation. Those who in
innate that single name will be Withdrawn
from the Union State Ticket are ignorant of
the character of its nominees, and of those
who are conducting the present Political cam
pairn of the Union organization. Their
breath might as well be retained for some
other purpose-it will accomplish nothing
Without shadow of excuse, the traitors to
the Union party have sought to destroy it;
they shall have the full benefit of the re-
sp0nsibilty, and no sophistrv, no hypocrisy,
no double dealing, and no lying, will relieve
them from it; they have sown the wind. let
them reap the whirlwind let the list of
traitors be published in every Union paper
in the State let them be known from one
end of the country to the other, so that, with
their prototype, Benedict Arnold, who was
ready to sell his country because bis ambi-
ton was disappointed, they may be branded
with the badge of dishonor and be forever
summed, politically, by those they would
so basely betray. George c.. Gorham to
withdraw from the ticket Whoever heard
of traitors propounding the terms by which
the loyal majority should make peace? Did
the rebels dictate to the National Govern
ment when Richmond fell? We rather
think not, and therefore the unblushing
insolence of the rebels of Sacramento, to the
patriots throughout the State, becomes more
remarkable But George c. Gorham will
stand at the head of the regular Union ticket
until the going down of the sun on the 4th
of September, and on the morning Of the 5th
he will rise, with the God of day, a chieftain
of the people, brilliant with the rays of vic
tory, exulting and defiant, smiling on the
loyal masses who have stood by him, and
with his foot on the necks of the traitors.
Let the Union Press of the State treat this
infamy as it deserves let it hold up to pub
lie execration and condemnation the movers
in it, from the Sacramento Union and Bee
down to the meanest manipulation OF their
dirty and treacherous work. Let there be
no concession and no thought of such de-
graduation. They cannot move one honest,
patriotic heart. from the line of conduct it
has marked out to pursue. The Union Party
is firmer, stronger and more defiant to day.
with the great !! results of the traitorous
Convention at Sacramento in view, than
ever before, and if the SecessOnists of the
State. who endeavnred to drag down the
country, during its long years of trouble a d
war, can gain any consolation from the con-
clave which was harbored at the Capital of
the State, they are welcome to it. The
Union editors of the State should have heard
the insults and taunts thrown at Union men
on the streets here by blatant and red hand
ed secessionists and traitors to their country,
when. on Tuesday night, it was announced
that Bidwell would be nominated. They
took courage from their fellow rebels at
| Sacramento, and the latent bitterness and
blood -thirstiness Ct their hate blazed up
anew and Union heart or throat would have
appeased their wrath if they had dared to
grasp for it. Compromise never. We do
not write thus. for fear of any such result,
but to show the Union editors of the State
the kind and class of men who are demand.
ing an intimate compromise. Let the Union
Party be defeated at the coming contest in
this State and the bloodiest scenes in Mis-
souri, and other border States would find no
parallel in the scenes that would take place
in California. Stand up to the work man
fully, courageously and patriotically, and
instead of fearing the Vaccinations of the
Rebels from the Union Party, thank God that
they are out of it, and their hateful presence
will no longer be seen within its lines.-IS.
