SECOND DISPATCH.

San Francisco, August 28.-The American
Theater is crowded to its utmost capacity with
an mpromptu meeting of citizens who are in IA
vor of sustaining General Grant in his refusal to
obey Johnson orders to remove Sheridan and
others. 1t has been addressed by Gorham, who
said the long-looked-for contest was now at
hand that every Union man must take his stand
for or against the Government. Hon. Thomas
Fitch is now making of the most eloquent
speeches ever delivered in this city since the
DAYS of Baker TILDEN, C. U. S. C. c.
ELOQUENT AppEAL.-Read the following clos
ing paragraph of speech delivered at San
Francisco August 2Sth, by Hon. Thomas Fitch:
"On thronging hosts of heroes in the past
Oh, Baker, and Brod.rick, and Tracy, and Starr
King who that marched to glory side ny side
with you will falter now? Wno that hung upon
the words of burning eloquence that fell from
your lips inspired by the Heaven-born fires OF
patriotism, will shrink here? Who that, linked
hand in hand with you, trod down the monster,
Treason, and Set the banner of God and Liberty
upon the nights of Truth-that banner conse-
Grated forever by the blood of patriots-will turn
from the work? You who pressed forward in
irresistible ph .lanx then who poured out your
blood like water for the nation $ cause-for your
own, for your children 5, for your country's sake
i charge you let your feet st nd firm upon the
mountains now Let send to the Atlantic
States on Wednesday next The tldinLs that no
false ptrsuasiOns, no cunning schemes, no spec
ous arguments, no lying assertions could induce
the Golden state to soil her loyal record, or
elect Democrat for Governor that she had
main aned inviolate her honor and her truth, rs
pure aud spotless as on the day when traitors
hands fred the first gun at Sumter, and had re-
fused to recognize as her executive head the man
who had denounced the martyr Chief over whose
death she had wept in sackcloth and in ashes"
GEN. GRANT AND THE PREsIDENT.-The news
by telegraph from Washington is of a startling
nature The refusal Of Gen. Grant to obey the
order of the President in reference to removing
Sheridan, SickIes and other Generals from their
commands is likely TO bring about new aud i'm
port mt complications. The President is by vir-
inc of the Constitution, Commander-in-Cn Cnief of
the Army and Navy of the United States, but at
the same time he cannot expect an officer to is
sue an order at variance with law. According
to the supplementary Reconstruction Bill the
General-n-Cnief of the army is the officer who
| is entrusted with the removal of the District
Commanders; consequently the probability is
that Grant has the law as well as justice on his
side 1t is evident that we are OH the eve of ex-
citing times. Those who say that the work of
r construction is complete will see that they are
greatly mistaken. There is much to do yet be-
fore the Nation can be said to be in truly
peaceful state. Union men should close up their
ranks in order TO meet the shock Of the mighty
events that coming upon US. There is near
ly as much danger now to encounter rs at any
period during the last six ears.-Appeal.
DAVID G. BRoDERIcK made his great fight
against the chvalry in 1859. Although he was
not successful in it, the chivalry thought he was
too much in their way and a quarrel was picked
with hum and he killed. This the
Growing act of infamy of the chvalry. On the
10th of September, the bold tongue which was
the first to assail corruption in high places and
to proclaim to the world at large the official in
famies that had been practiced for years lay still
in death. The chivalry were triumphant, but
their triumph did not last long. They were hn-
ally overthrown in California In 1861. Ihen
Scott Gwn, Brooks, Benham and others Of
them who had been elected to Office By the peo-
ple of California went to the rebels where they
naturally belonged. few of them who still re-
main here are now trying to crawl into office.
Will the people crafty them? Not il they are
true to the memories of Broderick. Baker, Tracy
and Starr King.-AaryspMe appeal.
The Examiner, in one column, attempts to
prove that the Democrats are carrying out the
nolicv laid down by Lincoln, and in another
column it justi6es Haight in vilifying our late
President, and refers to the I" so-called" rebel
lion as being justifable. The hypocrisy of their
attempts to prove that they are acting upon Lin
coins ideas is SO palpabe that no Union man,
whether or not Democrat, will be deceived
by it.
BRraHrExIxG. Hon. A. A. Sargent writes to
us from La Porte, says the Red Bluff Independ-
ent, and says in the course of his letter: "The
old fire is fairly alight The meetings are large
and enthusiastic, and l am confident that cleo
ton day will see the Union party reunited and
inyiucible."
| Qua NEXT GovERNoR.-General Bidwell in in
PRODUCING Gorham to Union meeting at Chico
said that he would be the next Governor of CAL
ifnrnia, and called for three cheers for him.
which were given with a WILL
No MAN can be Governor of the State of Cali
forna who slandered Abraham Lincoln. H. a.
Haight said that when man had ss honest pre-
fixed to his name, the general presumption is
that he will steal.'
