IF the people of California do not want to
see the colored population exercising the right
of suffrage, they should defeat the present
abolition self styled Uniou) party. Evidences
are thickeuing that, if successful now, they
intend to pass a law allowing negroes the
privilege of voting. If such proposition is
not agreeable to the people of California, they
should see that the abolition ticket is beaten
at The present election.

TnE rebel leaders well know that they can
rot keep tie people of the South to their cause
of rebellion, unless the Democracy are beaten
by the sectional supporters of the Abolition
policy of the Administration The election Of
Nallandigham, in Ohio, would cause the peo
pie of the South to desert the rebel leaders by
thousands, and hence, they sent Morgan and
his crowd into Ohio to aid their Abolition
allies in defeating him. The rebel leaders
know if the Democracy succeed the Union will
be preserved. and hence their raid in Ohio. to
revive the dropping cause Of their Abolition
allies.

ACCORDING to the Administration Aboli-
tionisis of California the Democracy are tie
vilest Of mankind. What a great, glorious,
peaceful, uaiied and happy nation should We
now be, if it were true. Our former national
prosperity was under Democratic rule the
present deplorabe condition Of the nation is
caused by the triumph Of those who denounce
the Democracy.

We must accept the condition of affairs as
they stand. At this moment the fortunes of
our country are Influenced by the result of
battles. Oar armies in the field must be sup
ported-all constitutional demands of our
General Government must be promptly re-
sponded to.


But war alone will not save The Union. The
rule of action which is used to put down an
ordinary insurrection is not applicable to a
widespread armed resistance of great commu-
mites. 1t is weakness and folly to shut our
eyes to this truth


Under no circumstances can the division of
the Union be conceded. We will put forth
every eXertion of power; we will use every
policy of Cancellation; we will hold out every
inducement TO the people of the South to re-
turn to their allegiance, consistent with honor;
we will guarantee them every right, every
consideration demanded by the Constitution,
and by that fraternal regard which must pre-
vail in common country but we can never
voluntarily consent TO the breaking up Of the
Union of these States or the destruction of the
Constitution.


This is the proud and patriotic position
occupied BY the Democracy of New York,
California, and the Union party of the Border
States, and the people of California in accept
ing it, will have the perfect assurance that
they are refusing to surrender the Union to
the rebellion at the South, or to the contempti-
bic fanaiicism that has usurped and now con
'rols the Administration of Abraham Lincoln

CENTRALIzING.-The AbOlitionists are
determined to carry out their doctrine of
Capitalization. They are not only in fa-
vor Of strong central Government, but
are evidently determined to centralize the
emouments of office and thereby build
up an aristocracy in the land. This is
shadowed forth by some of their recent
nominations. They have just nominated
the Collector of the Port of San Francisco
for Governor Of the State, and in our own
county the two most prominent FeIeral
officials were nominated for lucrative Of
fees over competitors Of equal or greater
merit than their own. This speaks for
itself and shows conclusively that the
conspirators are aiming to make the mass
cs hewers of wood and drawers of water

Democratic State Convention.


On the 9Th of July, the Democratic
State Convention, called in accordance
with the request and by the representa-
tives Of both wings Of the Democratic
party, ignoring past issues, convenes at
Sacramento. Our County Convention
meets next Thursday, and it promises to
be large and enthusiastic. We may be
permitted to call the attention Of the De-
mocracy, and the conservative men who
may feel inclined to affiliate with them in
the patriotic effort to place the State Gov.
ernment in the hands Of the friends Of
the Constitution and the Union Of our
fathers, 70 the subject of representation in
the State Convention. 1t is now more
than ever desirable that the Convention
should be full, and that the strong, sound,
able, prudent and fearless men Of the
State should be sent to it. There never
was a time when wisdom, moderation,
prudence and patriotism were SO impe-
riously demanded in our deliberations and
action upon public affairs; and there nev.
er was time when such momentous re-
spG nSibilities rested upon the Democracy
and those conservative and patriotic men
who still cherish a devotion to the Con-
stltution and the Union. Upon their ju-
dicious action probably depends the issue
of the election in this State it is in their
power to determine whether the influence
of California, in Congress and out, shall
continue to be exerted in favor of that
destructive policy which is avowedly in
conflict with the Constitution and sure to
result IN national ruin, or whether it shall
be given in support Of the Constitution
and the restoration of the Union This is
the only issue to be presented in the cleo
ton, and its importance will be appre.
ciated by all who appreciate the value Of
free institutions and constitutional protec-
ton. Such being the fact, the grave re-
sponSibiity resting upon the conservative
men of the Statcis obvious; it is in their
power to place the State upon the side
Of the Constitution, and the Union,-
and if they fail to do it, they will fail in
the most important duty which ever rest
ed upon patriotic citizens.


The first step to the performance of this
great duty is the selection Of men to rep
resent them III the State Convention to be
held at Sacramento on the 9Th of next
month. Select the right men, and the
right action will be taken; and then, if it
is followed up in a proper manner, the
right result will inevitably follow in Sep
tember. After our candidates are in the
field we must give to them hearty sup

APPEAL FOR UNION.

policy Of the Governments fully declared.
Its last great weapon has been taken in
hand. The power Of the rebellion, and the
power Of the constituted authorities Of the
Republic stand face to face,' Now for the
:grapple. It will end either in the infinite
humiliation and disgrace of the North,
the virtual subjugation Of f:the Free States,
and the overthrow Of popular liberty as
founded on that cornerstone of all true
Democracy, "man is superior to his acci-
DENTS" or in the quick destruction Of
all opposing forces, the complete
re~establishment Of the national authority
in all the revolted districts, the second asser-
tion ofthe justice and necessity ofthe Demo-
cratic principle, and the deliverance Of the
country from the sin and shame Of buying
and selling men. We must have one Of the

The LAST SCHEME OF RBBELDoM.-It is
boldly stated in rebel circles, that the
South, when it becomes evident to their
leaders that their struggle for slavery is
useless, will appeal to some European
monarchy, and demand annexation as
last resort. This is all very well as me-
mace, but it is exceedingly vapid-a SUBJ
ject rather for laughter than serious dis
cussion. Any portion of Europe which
desires to take up the cudgels in behalf of
Davis & Co., is thoroughly welcome to do
so !; and if it gains much for its pains, so
much the better for it, and so much the
worse for us. We are not much depressed
on the subject, however. We have twice
measured swords with England. and

sires to try her hand in the same way, she
