Cir EouT, DADDY The Stockton Ldcpen.
dent of last Wednesday has an article, headed
:" Go Home, Sonny - in which it asserts
that I" Sonora, Tuolumne county, is the resi-,
dence of a fine looking individual, but one
who is too dark by several shades for citi-
zenship in strictly white mans Govern
ment,'" and adds: The swart Sonorian
claims to be the fruit OF loins no less distin-
guished than those of Ex-Governor Seymour
of Connecticut"
The Independent then says that ''the swart
Sonorian" declares that he was once present
when Horatio Seymour, Of New York, visit.
ed Thos. L" and that he addressed Horatio
as "uncle" &c. Jim Seymour, the colored
Sonoriau, denies the truth ofthe Independent S

Judging from his baptismal name, cannot

nant at having his name paraded in the
public press in such contemptuous man
ner, and does not thank his political friends
for their fattering notice. One thing We
can say for Jim, he is q quiet, industrious
man who minds his own business and, no

credit on his daddy than some Of Grants

The OVERLAND MoNTHLY.-The second
number, for the month of August, of the
Orerlaad Monthly is fully up to the standard
of the first. Its literary ability reflects great
credit W i our young State, and exhibits d
yersatlll.y OF talent which could hardly be ex-
pected to exist on the sparsely populated
Pacif; Coast. The leading article, "a Court
Ball a. the Palace of Mexico" is very enter
tanning and instructive; "Art Beginnings
on the Pacific" shows that aesthetic pursuits
have no. been entirely neglected by our peo
pie in the wild scramble for wealth "a
Californian Abroad" describes "a few Pari.

and life on plains, as we'll as the hardships

ern people were wrong is seeding how can
you, Ar. Independent, justify your party in
having pursued policy. to their rights
and interests and which every sane man in
the United States know would inevitably
provoke them to secession? If your party,
prior to 1860, thought the South could not
be kicked out of the Union, their eyes must
have been opened to better comprehension
of the situation before March, 1861. Why
did they not then accept the Crittenden Com
promise Amendment, if the preservation of
the Union was their object? Can you ex'
plain why Wendell Phillips and his princi.
Piles were regarded by a vast majority of the
people, but decade ago, as being dangerous
to the peace and stability of the Union, and
why the man is regarded as patriot and his
principles as patriotism, by you and your
party, to-day? Do you suppose that the
government is better, or the people more
prosperous and happy, now, than if the Union
had been preserved without a'little blood

The union Democrat., 1868-08-08

The only possible way the existing State governments
in the South be set aside and ones framed on the
basis of white suffrage alone is y forcerevolution WAR;
$. +. Times
If such is the case, it would not be as
great calamity to the country as the " force
revolution, WAR" by which they were es-
tablished. But we deny the truth of the
assertion. The Democrats simply propose to
overturn the Radical revolution by the peace
full agency of the ballot box. Does the
Times mean to say that when party OBJ
tains power on false pretences, and legis-
lates "outside of the constitution" and
against popular will, that the people have
no redress without appealing to arms? We al
ways knew that the Radicals, in carrying out
their lcathsome mongrel policy, defed the
will of the people but were not prepared to
hear them threaten WAR if their unjust and
~ -annical legislation should be interfered
wit. We tell the Times that the eltire
ST ueture of Radical reconstruction will be
ov turned and there will be no war, unless
they inaugurate it. If they do, they will
not have the Democracy of the North to
fight their battles. TIE people of the United
States are not going to allow ten States OF
the Union to be ruled by negroes. Nor yet
to have the electoral votes of white men in
other States neutralized by them. The Dem
ocrats understand the nature of the Ameri-
can Government, and no Radical innovation
can make them believe that State has not
right to enlarge or curtail the right OF
suffrage at pleasure.
