and advocates openly and in explicit terms

God created all men equal, in the broad and
literal sense of that term, that Chinawomen

Creator, and it thinks them very handy

We wish you had taken example by
the " boldness, ;he simplicity and seem
sag honesty" which you are pleased to
ascribe to the APPEAL, and dealt with
us more frankly. Blu: we will take il
for granted that you mean to ask tbs
Radical editor if be did, once upon a
time, leave this coast for the purpose of
Offering his services to the Confederacy;
sud we will answer in honesty that is in
nowise seeming" No. We never, for
a single moment, at any time since the
rebellion was threatened or since its
actual breaking out were anything more
nor less than an unconditional Union
man. We had some pleasant and valued
friends among the California Rebels and
continued our social relations with them
even after the war broke out. Any OF
these will tell you just where We stood
ia the early days Of the war. We left |
San Francisco for Washington with a
letter in our pocket from Judge Joe Nc
Corklo (who was then strong Union
ist) to Edwin u. Stanton, Secretary of
War, recommending US to a position in
the army which we got through the in
Acence of McCorkle's letter and the eff
forts of Joe Mcklbben (then Judge Ad
voca,e on Hal1eck's staff, and the kind
" offices of Senators Latham and Nc
DougalI. On the same steamer with Us
frsn San Francisco to Panama was
Horace Higley, former Surveyor General
Of California, aud two sons Of A. ?.
Crittenden. They were all bound for
Dixie aud we knew it. If We had felt .
my disposition to offer our services to
he Confederacy, we should have been r
likely to do as they did aud go no fur !
