this time struggling to put down formidable
rebellion. and to preserve the integrity Of the
Union. nnder which, by the blessing Of IIeav-
en-. we have grown to be a great and prosper
oHs nation


And WHEREAS, The people of this State. as
a part Of the common Government whose ex>
istence has become endangered by such rebel
lion, cannot with honor Or propriety remain
silent or passive;


Therefore, Be it Resolved by the Senate
the Assembly concurring:


FIRsr-That the attachment of the people
Of California TO the Union of the States in one
undivided nation, as designed by our patriotic
forefathers in the adoption of the present Con-
stitution, is firm, unabated and unalterabe );
that the present rebellion is without justifca-
tion or decent excuse, and but the result Of
wicked conspiracy, long since formed by de-
signing and ambitious men to overthrow our
republican form Of Government and subvert
the liberties Of the American people


SEcoyD-That we are in favor of the most
thorough and vigorous prosecution of the war
for the suppression of the rebellion, the main
tenanace of the Union, and the enforcement of
the laws of the country over the whole nation
al domain.


THIRD-That we view with pride and admi-
ration the conservative and patriotic course
pursued by the Chief Magistrate of the Nation
in this crisis and denounce as enemies of the
country all those who would seek to divide the
Executive Councils or embarass the Govern
ment either by captious criticism or by efforts
to convert the war into a means for carrying
out ultra-political doctrines.


FouRrH-That the people of this State
hereby pledge to the Federal Government
cordial and earnest support until this unholy
rebellion shall be suppressed and the Union
rescued from the danger of foes without, or
traitors within.


FIFrH-That the questions which have
heretofore divided the people into different
political organizations, have either become OBJ
solete, or are, for the present, in allegiance, and
the only vital issue now before the country is
the one of loyalty or disloyalty that no party
considerations or party names should be allow
ed to distract the loyal, or weaken their in
fuence, until our national difficulties are settled
but the patriotic sentiment of the people should
be represented by one great party its motto
The Union, and Fealty to the Government,
as our fathers established it."


The above resolutions were voted against
by the rebel sympathizers and abolition Re-
publicans in the Senate. Perkins and Merritt
are evidently together on the Union question.


RECIPE FOR A QUARREL WITH A WIFE
Wait until she is at her toilet, preparatory to
going out. She will be sure to ask you if her
bonnet is straight. Remark that the lives of
nine>tenths OF the women are passed in think
ing whether their bonnets are straight, and
wind up the remark with, you never knew but
one who had any common sense about her
Wife will ask you who that was? You with
sigh reply, " All you never mind" Wife
will ask you why You did not marry her, then.
You say abstractedly, All why, indeed ~
The climax is reached by this time, and reg
ular row is sure to follow.


." As for sleeping on a picket" said Mrs.
Partington to the three months volunteer
who had dropped in to see her, % don't see
how they can do it without hurting EN-
Sleeping on post would be great deal more
sensible, unless there's a nail in it, which might
be prejudicous for the uniform. Every one
to his taste, and such things as where a man
shall sleep is at his own suction.

spondent of an English paper sends the follow
ing communication AT an early hour on
Monday morning the inhabitants of Nenagh
were attracted by the appearance of a large
American flag floating from the round tower
IN the centre of the town. 1t had the stars
and stripes on one side, and the sunburst, harp
and shamrock on the other 1t was well exc
cuted, and evidently came from America for
the occasion. Moreover, the police had word
that several such rebellious flags were hoisted
through Tipperary and the adjacent counties
1t being holiday and fair day in Nenagh,
the crowds who witnessed this flag were large
The emissaries of rebellion must have expected
war as the result of the news in Tipperary.-
The police took possession of the flag. and had
1t carefully sent 10 the authorities of Dublin
Castle, who should look sharp after this dis
trict IN the event of q war with any country"
