C0UIUe TO THEIR MIX.

The Democracy of California die hard
bu. they are yielding. The "fyer'
which emanated the other day from
Vaudeville, Long Primer Hall and others
and their promise to use all the physical
force that God has given them to bea.
down the Fifteenth Amendment, has
passed for what it is worth-the value OF
idle wind-and now We learn that Brown,
the County Clerk ofSacrameuto County
heeds not their oficious advice but con-
cludes TO open his Great Register for the
admission of the names of all voters
without regard to ''race, color or pre-
vious condition or servitude" More.
over, the San Francisco Examiner, the
great headlight of Pacific coast Dem
oeracy weakens most gracefully; and
in its issue Of the 9th inst talks in the
following fashion:
How, then, stands the case in California
What position do the gentlemen who sign
the above card occupy: They say, in the
first place, that even if three-fourths of the
States ha6, without coercion, and of their own
free will, given their assent to the Fifteenth
Amendment, it would not be binding on the
State not doing SO. The first effect of this
position would be to physically array at least
three-fourrhs of the States against, at most,
cne-fourth. In this case, practically, it would
be to array nine-tenths, or probably more,
against one-ten:h. The result of such a con-
fict needs no prophetic power to divine.
When therefore. the gentlemen who sign the
above card say they will support California
State officer in resisting the Amendment
"wi,h all the physical force God has given
them" they talk nonsense. All the physical
force they could bring to bear would amount
% nothing against the power of the General /
Government We have read pretty closely |
the papers, and we have seen no State assume /
that snch an Amendment would be absolute
ly void should one State decline TO ratify it !;

any of them-even in the great State of New
iork-to resist, BY force, its operation
California, therefore, even if her people
were unanimous, would alone stand in this
resort TO force. Would she have any show
for making good her appeal If the grand
cause of Southern independence failed, what
have these gentlemen to expect. Principle
is great thing, but principle NAV degener-
rte into folly when separated from prudence.
