In 1S6l.-It is not generally known, but
we are informed that it is fact that during
the greater part of the first year of the war,
Geo. G. Gorham was the principal editor of
the Sacramento Union. This accounts for
the backbone the Union for the first time
suddenly acquired, and the vigor ard force
its columns displayed during that eventful
period. But the Union don't like Gorham

SoREHEAD CONVENTIONAL few defeated
Office seekers and disappointed place hunters
propose holding Convention at Sacramento
on the 10th inst. The ostensible object is to
revise the Union State ticket; the real object
is to make a diversion in favor of H. II.
Haight. We predict that the movement
will prove miserable failure, and that no
respectable number of men will engage in
the affair.

again applauded He said it was not his
purpose to make an address upon this occa-

which was read as follows:
No state of its own will has right
under the constitution to renounce lis place
in or to withdraw from the Union, nor has
the congress Of the United States consti-
tutional power to degrade The people of any
state by reducing them to the condition Of
mere territorial dependency upon the fede-
raj head. One is disruption and dissolution
of government and the other is consoiida-

advocates Of the latter, are alike enemies Of
