As the patriotic hosts of the North and
West are enrolling by tens of thousands to
go forth and do battle for the Constitution

themselves as a sacrifice upon the altar of
our common country. to perpetuatc the great
principles Of republican institutions, let us
not. here on the Pacific coast, where peace
still reigns lull ourselves into repose while
black treason is vauLted in the ear of our
loyal citizens upon every street corner, and
where men are permitted to enjoy all the
rights and privileges under the Constitution
and laws, but openly curse the Government
that protects them, and, through its magnan-
unity, permits them to desecrate the soil up.
on which they stand to emit their treasonous
sentiments and blasphemy; but let every
patriot look well to the future, and so unite
themselves into one solid column during the
coming campaign, that the result of their ac
ton shall strike terror to the hearts of the
traitors among US, and speak in thunder
tones to those doing battle for us in the
South, showing that California stands firmly
by them in the support of the Admission to
quell the vilost rebellion that was ever insti-
gated in any country.


| Let the conservative Union element. ire
spcctive of party, unite like our brothers who
have marched forth to the battle field, and
lot one common impulse pervade all our acts,
to stand by our country in this time of cur
afilicton, and for the only issue now before
the people-for the Constitution. or treason
to it. That there are numerous parties in
this State who are heart and soul in sympa-
thy with Jeff. Davis and the Southern rebel
lion there can be no doubt: then let those
shoulder to shoulder, and battle for the one
all-absorbing principlc-the maintainance of
the Constitution, and the hearty support of
the Administration in its efforts to subdue
the monster that would destroy it.


1t appears to US that now is the auspicious
time to surrender the old party ties Of former
peaceful times, and to unite the conservative
element Of this State into one party for the
support OF the Government IN maintaining
the Constitution as it is and if there be any
opposed to it, either from the North or the
South, now is the time for us to know it, for
we want to know whether they are for de-
stroying the Union or for its maintainancc.
This shufiiing of politicians seeking place has
been the cause of the present rebellion and
the people will have no better opportunity
than the present TO say to the politicians that
they know their wants, and that they are
capable of acting solely for tho good of the
masses, to the exclusion of Office hunters, If
the people take hold of this matter with oner-
gy in the coming election, no combination of
rebels OF abolitionists can defeat the glorious
| movement for tho Union that has been so
well begun.

The Dixie Democratic journals of this
State manifest wonderful sensitiveness
about the hearty endorsement by the people
of the Union movement, that is calculated TO
give treason the most severe rebuke that it
ever received in this State. They fer the
| conservative element will give its support to
the Government, and say to the uitras Of the
North and South, that, caring nothing for
party lines that have heretofore existed. in
these times of trouble and danger to our lib
critics, the great heart of tne people is beating
in unison with the love of country and re-
publican institutions, and that patriotism
bids them stand by the Administration in
upholding the Constitution in its broadest
sense, and allow no sectional spirit to sunder
the liberties of thirty millions of whites iar
the welfare of some four millions of backsy
whom circumstances have made the rallying
cry for treason and blood.


The course and arguments of these would

raised its hideous head, have been duly noted
by the loyal people of this State. and none

What the leaders of this Dixie Democratic
purity going to save the Union In what
manner do they propose to save it? By per-
mitting the Southern States to secede, and
withdrawing our armies from the field, while
the enemies of the country have arms in their
hands, carrying fire and sword to the homes
of every lover Of his country in the section
over which they hold sway. As well might
these journals try to make the people believe
that Satan was tho true Saviour of mankind
as try to cnnvince them that they intend to
sustain the Constitution ard to preserve the
country from total ruin. Out upon such
Democracy as they preach. Let the Union
voters come together i'll the next election.
and this year form a nucleus out of which, at
some future time, great National party
may be formed, whose principles shall be
broad enough to unite the Union conservative
voters of the South as well as the North and
which shall guarantee all constitutional
rights to each section, uniting and binding
these States under the Constitution rs it is,
giving to each State all their farmer rights to

Constitutions may permit, subject only to the

The catastrophe was also witnessed from

The men were seen putting out from the
Canada shore, near Chippewa, with the evil

end Of Goat Island. After getting out a
short distance, the current was found too
strong, recent high wind up the lake hav-

water through the river, and although they
made every cxertion to stem the tide, their
efforts were unavailing. They were seen
after battling for some time desperately
against the cnrrant to draw their oars from

know good deal better than the old cove that
is giving them advice. But let me tell you that

you are a dead man.


If you be sober and steady you'll get on well !
but if you drink you are done for You will
either be an invalid or die. l know two reg-

didn't drink The one that did drink has been
