They assent to nothing in which they cannot
lake the initiative, and keep control. Their
charity that covers all sins IS emancipation.
Cameron has swindled the Government out of
millions of dollars; bat he is an emancipation
ist. and goes TO Russia Fremont does the
same thing in St. Louis, but he is an emauci-
pationist, and is restored to command.


This movement of the Republican leaders 10
organize party for the next campaign with
their old offensive doctrines Is regarded with
disfayor by Border State men who have per
riled everything for the Government. They
truthfully say that they have been fighting
Republicanism since the birth of the party
and they are unwilling to be driven into its
embrace now, or be compelled to choose be-
tween active rebellion or radical Republican
ism, in the guise of Union, but equally culpable
with rebellion. They ask that the conserva-
tive men of the country shall at least stand
with them between these two extremes, and
sustain the Administration in restoring the
Union and maintaining the Constitution against
all comers, be they from the North or South
They point 10 the resolution unanimously
adopted by Congress that this war is waged
for the restoration of the I Mon"


The Union men of the Border States expect
that the national conservative Democracy
represented in the last campaign, will stand
firm in their organization now and defend the
Constitution from both armed and secret
traitors. The Republicans are working hard
to carry their sectional doctrines into q nation
al Union party but Union men in the Border
States desire that the Democratic party be
maintained to protect the Government against
the assaults of both extremes. 1t is the ex-
treme men who have brought the present trou-
bic on the country. 1t is no time for the people
to listen to the tricks of partizan sectional lead
ers now, but to sustain the Union men of the
South in the noble and patriotic position they
assumed for the Government and the Union
Many of them have suffered martyrdom from
the rebels, shall those who have patriotically
stood by the old flag be turned over in the
hour of the Governments triumph to the re-
morseless fanaticism of 4 sectional party =
The question for the people of California to
determine is simply this : will they JOIN the
Republican leaders in the partizan squabble
against the Union men of the Border States
or assist the Democracy in their efforts to give
those men of the Border States who have
so nobly stood by the Government IN its hour
Of peril, their rights under the Constitution


GEN PoPE IN CoMMAyD.-Among the late
/ dispatches from the East is the gratifying
intelligence, that the President has placed
Gen. Pope in command of the army of the
Shenandoah Valley, leaving Banks and Ere
mont to act in the capacity of Brigaders or to
resign, if their immense dignity cannot stand
the pressure. When it was announced that
Fremont had commenced fortifying in the
Shenandoah Valley, we were disposed to re-
gard that section as lost to the Federal arms,
at least until Fremonts Mariposa estate had
again been brought out of :" labyrinth of
difficulties" by the great services of Trainer
W. Park, who wants to be United States
Senator. Pope is not poltico-mHtaire 'cuss'
who has sought the position of Major General
as stepping stone to further promotion,
but has won his epauettes, by his ability as a
strategist and to command Considering that
Fremont's friends here in California, had Just
got up grand fusion Administration party,
that was to induce the President to supersede
Mcclellan with Fremont, this act of the Pres
ident in reducing Fremont to the rauk of a
Brigader under Pope, must be very narrowing
to their feelings. Hadn't the Republican fu
sion Administration party of California better
supersede Lincoln ? Hurrah Is Pope Dem
ocrat? Give the fusionists another turn Of the
thumb screw, Uncle Abe.


The Congressional committee of investga-
tion made out that Sim. Cameron and Thad
Stevens were rogues. Sim. and Thad retort
that the committee are highwaymen Ordina-
riy, when "rogues fall out, honest people get
their dues" but it is a noticeable feature in
this disagreement of Republican rogues that
the people don't get their money back


BETTER SrILL.-The Marysville Express
copies an extract from speech of Stephen A.
Douglas, delivered prior to the commencement
of the war, when that statesman deemed it
possible TO save the country from the deyasta-
tlons OF lnsurrection, by compromise. Here is
what be said at later period, when war was
raging-the last words of his patriotic life =
Support the Constitution and obey the laws
OF the United States
