As all know, to whom my opinions had any interest, I was for peuee while peace was possible, and for full concessions and guarantees to the States of the South, while they allowed them to be offpred. Now -instead of peace, there ia war, forced upon the country in such a way that ae eould not have declined it without a her ace among the nations, giving up the Union. a the States which remained loyal, and in~ curring the lasting contempt of the hostile States themselves, That a time will yet come when pence is ouce more possible, 1 am assured. That it may cmne sonn, i¢ wy must fervent It will find me as willing as ever for the ‘aacred duty of reconciliat‘on, In the mean time, and so long as it is force aguinat force, I take my stand, without rancor but .without hesitation, with my own Government and country against those who at the head of aruities threaten destruction to both. There is no other place for the patriot. This without doubt is the position of this State. She is for the Union and against its enemles at home and abroad. Now, for the first time, a determined well concerted effort is miude to misrepresent het in thie rew spect. She owes it to lierself sad to the other States to declare herself in a manner wut to be wistaken, here or elaewhere. Jp cowmon with all true friends of Calis fornia Ihave seen With pain andsurprise the movements of the new party, in favor of the Stute’ ticket headed by John R. McConnell, for'Governor, I am aware there are upon that ticket apd amon its supporters, some whe claim to be the friends of the Un« iun, and who prove their friendship by giving up the cause of the Union without a blow; by making haste te declare that the Union cannot be saved, and that the attempt to save it is almost a crime; by assailing most intemperately the Government of the Union and everything it bas done, whether right or wrong, to maintain it; while they have not one word of censure for those who are armed to destroy it; by clamoring for peace, instant. peave, with the bestile States, at any rute and any price. Alas! for the Union, it it has to rely ou friends like these. The best good faith oaly gives them power for greater mischief, Her opea enemies the country ono face, and the false friends that would betray her witha kiss she can discover’ She haa no defense sgainst the miss taken friend, why, th the name of “Peace,” hold her hands in. the death grapple, while the eurmy stabs her to the heurt. ‘ The ery of “peace” in time of war has ite attractions, It appeals both to the goed and the selfish feeling ; to our hearte aod our kets = Nune understand this better than r. McConnell and the adroit and practised political leadere who surrowed bim. But in their mouths the cry is ‘a delusion and a snare.” They are for “peace” because, say they, “the Union cannot be preserved by war.” Ask them on what terms they propose peace, und their answer, if they gite one; will be, “the reeogaition of the Southera Confederacy.” Ae if that does not certainly and permanently dismember and destrey the Union. They are against war because, probably, (ae they say) it. will not preserve the Union ; and they are for the immediate recog: nition of the “Southern Cenf ." whieh most assuredly destroys it. The loveof the Unidd which inspiressuch a conclusion at the very threshold of the struggle, is not very evident. They are for peace, with a triumphaat and advancing foe almost at the gates of Washington, and upon bis own terms. They clemor forthe country to strike ber flag with disaster fresh upon its folds. ‘ Is ee time for such a demand in the mouth ef a patriot—of any real friend ‘the Union? TRolore the ns has mat halt am effort worthy of a great people, or of the greatest cause that ever kindled the hearts of any people? After a nativaal reverse, When sueh acry unnerves the arin of the government and lene a Hew incite~ went to its enemies, Lert wot the people be deceived. Peace aod the recoguition of the “Southern Coa< lederacy™* wehns ‘to-day uot ouly the loss of} 6 beiall the Americun people. Jt is the pers menacing fifteen hundred miles of Mississippi ; the bof map of the ye States from among the great powers o tees earth; the Gipraoaast of our ee aye ot agp nar 90 = 8 narrow pole of territory, ing {row Solis tes Setein and hictle asighbors tween two hosti i 7 OB ad insufferable taxation; the modification of subversion of our free institntions tosuit this new ordér of things. After all this, there willbe no peace between us. If (there is. pone now, how can there be an then? If ia the Union, and under the of the Constitution, we must fight, how shall we be at peace when we are two independent and necessarily jarring Governments, With a perpetual conflict of interests intensified by closeness and . by contact all along the line? Let the States of continental Ettrepe answer. Who, that knows the American peuple, dreame for one moment taut any orkay power ean “pen them up north of the. Ohio river and the Potomac, or that the hardy milhons of the northwest, the nuree of nations, wii) ever yield toather hands the mouths of their great river, though it should fun crimson tothe sea? To California it would be certain and swift destruction. As a State of a first-closs power-she is, though remote. secure. As a State of a third or fourrh dase power, what is to protect her? Pe No. This war may throw us back fifty years, as the Peace party say; but sech a peace ve they eall fer, would place us in the rear of civilization for centuries. Their whole course as a question of feeling, to say nothing of pxtriotism, is a false oneTo eppose the war is to prolong it: A’ vigorous war lathe ehort and the enly. reed te w Hpeedy “pétce. “Tnstend of sapping the energies of the nation by a mistaken or in= sidious opposition, rathér let us (ae Mr. Douglas urged io bis latest »ppeal to the nation), unite inthe most unanimous and stupendous preparations” forthe war, that we may the sooner,arrivé at a settlement of our difficulties, satisfactory to both sides if possible, snd not humiliating to either. That there must be much debt and taxation is inevitable. It 1a the price which great nations bave to pay for their power, their position and their rights. The om that submits to dismemberment, lose o place and nationality, until after a termendous and exhausting etruggle.is doomed on the earth. Its history is written and the volume closed. Its ‘aun hae day.” For fifty years we have not been called on for a war tax. Out of our abundance shall we grudge thie mite to sustaia the best guve ernment on earth, to which wa owe it all? Our brethren in the other States pour out their money and their blood in the cause.-Shall California, to whom the Union is more than to all the rest.be heard to complain of ataxt Let the Union fall, and she will repent in sack cloth and ashes she had not given her all to preserve it. —~ Pesce and the Southern Confederacy are demanded, also because (say they) thie is an “Abolition war.” By thie d understand that the wart is, or 1s te be wi for the abolition of slavery in the hostile States There is n@just ground for thie ébarge, either in the original purpose of ee war or in -the conduct of it thus far. -It is a war begun and waged to uphold the Union and the Constitution and wot to destroy them. It has not been perverted from that sacred purpose and enhnot be. The irresponsible fnnatics, here and there, whoeeek to give ita ‘different character will fail in their efforts It must be that the accusation is intended only for political effect. Who can credit it that reflects that the war is earnestly sustained by Crittenden and Johnson (of Tenhessee) and Dickinson, and Cags, and Dit and Walker, ~ many on men? That it was approved by Douglas with bis dying breath? That it is firmly upheld by Maryular branch of land aod Kentucky in ee Congress? That it has had the solemn eanection, of the piowsand venerable heads of the Christian churches, who for the first time iu all their vee made public their views on a political question? Are all thore great and mew and those Southern and slaveholding States guilty of howading on an “AboliThe statement is a crue! calumay——an eatrage equally upon all prepriety and sense. The truth is, the demand for “peace ut any price” is simply the present version of the old ery of “ne coerdinn in any event.” Both are the rallying cries of movements mde in thie State in the interest, not of the Union, but of the States io arms to destroy it. That our fellow citizetis who are bound by birth, blood or friendship to. the hostile States should have their sympathies deeply gone down, while yet it. was excited for them ie not at all surprising wee . can the better I have felt and still fee my own boeom,—the et, who can doubt that the very those feelings is most — and the. strength of apt te overcome the oe, t of those in im ik de greatest; and to render them Giost unsale Fxg im questions between the Gountry and those States, and which reach beyond eur time into futurity?

Mev knew that within her borders would be found peace, concord and It the tickef headed by Mr. } shall received any considersble-vote, all this bright prospect will disappear. T a large’ proportion of that vote shu’ ve been for-huu by men entirely loyal to the Union and on grounds distinct from the tion of peace or war, yet the result will most assuredly be claimed as a triumph of those who sympathize with the hostile States more. than they do with the country, and who are foran unconditional, dégrading and fatal surrender by the Gpvernmeut. Ia the camps of Secession it will be hailed as a triumph, and will do more to ep the foe and protract the war at the coat of thousen:'s of lives aud millions of money, — ‘than another Manassas. But to the triends ot the Union and ot Califorma it will bring sorrow aud gloom. It will show the exist« euce hereof an element of danger ;and it will blast all her oright, prospects at a stroke, and population, and paralyge all the a ae of her prosperity and power. Her sister States will lookon ber with grief and dis» trust, and the nation will turn with averted brow frum the ungrateful cbild to whom she has always given, and lately more than ever, from the fu other means aod of her bounty. Of such « thing as the success of this ticket, I do nut trust myself to speak, both because I beheve that impossible, and because] preter not tu increase the excitement, already too great.

Now -instead of peace, there ia war, forced upon the country in such a way that ae eould not have declined it without a her ace among the nations, giving up the Union. a the States which remained loyal, and in~ curring the lasting contempt of the hostile States themselves, That a time will yet come when pence is ouce more possible, 1 am assured. That it may cmne sonn, i¢ wy must fervent It will find me as willing as ever for the ‘aacred duty of reconciliat‘on, In the mean time, and so long as it is force aguinat force, I take my stand, without rancor but .without hesitation, with my own Government and country against those who at the head of aruities threaten destruction to both. There is no other place for the patriot. This without doubt is the position of this State. She is for the Union and against its enemles at home and abroad. Now, for the first time, a determined well concerted effort is miude to misrepresent het in thie rew spect. She owes it to lierself sad to the other States to declare herself in a manner wut to be wistaken, here or elaewhere. Jp cowmon with all true friends of Calis fornia Ihave seen With pain andsurprise the movements of the new party, in favor of the Stute’ ticket headed by John R. McConnell, for'Governor, I am aware there are upon that ticket apd amon its supporters, some whe claim to be the friends of the Un« iun, and who prove their friendship by giving up the cause of the Union without a blow; by making haste te declare that the Union cannot be saved, and that the attempt to save it is almost a crime; by assailing most intemperately the Government of the Union and everything it bas done, whether right or wrong, to maintain it; while they have not one word of censure for those who are armed to destroy it; by clamoring for peace, instant. peave, with the bestile States, at any rute and any price. Alas! for the Union, it it has to rely ou friends like these. The best good faith oaly gives them power for greater mischief, Her opea enemies the country ono face, and the false friends that would betray her witha kiss she can discover’ She haa no defense sgainst the miss taken friend, why, th the name of “Peace,” hold her hands in. the death grapple, while the eurmy stabs her to the heurt. ‘ The ery of “peace” in time of war has ite attractions, It appeals both to the goed and the selfish feeling ; to our hearte aod our kets = Nune understand this better than r. McConnell and the adroit and practised political leadere who surrowed bim. But in their mouths the cry is ‘a delusion and a snare.” They are for “peace” because, say they, “the Union cannot be preserved by war.” Ask them on what terms they propose peace, und their answer, if they gite one; will be, “the reeogaition of the Southera Confederacy.” Ae if that does not certainly and permanently dismember and destrey the Union. They are against war because, probably, (ae they say) it. will not preserve the Union ; and they are for the immediate recog: nition of the “Southern Cenf ." whieh most assuredly destroys it. The loveof the Unidd which inspiressuch a conclusion at the very threshold of the struggle, is not very evident. They are for peace, with a triumphaat and

advancing foe almost at the gates of Washington, and upon bis own terms. They clemor forthe country to strike ber flag with disaster fresh upon its folds. ‘ Is ee time for such a demand in the mouth ef a patriot—of any real friend ‘the Union? TRolore the ns has mat halt am effort worthy of a great people, or of the greatest cause that ever kindled the hearts of any people?

After all this, there willbe no peace between us. If (there is. pone now, how can there be an then? If ia the Union, and under the of the Constitution, we must fight, how shall we be at peace when we are two independent and necessarily jarring Governments, With a perpetual conflict of interests intensified by closeness and . by contact all along the line? Let the States of continental Ettrepe answer. Who, that knows the American peuple, dreame for one moment taut any orkay power ean “pen them up north of the.

To California it would be certain and swift destruction. As a State of a first-closs power-she is, though remote. secure. As a State of a third or fourrh dase power, what is to protect her? Pe No. This war may throw us back fifty years, as the Peace party say; but sech a peace ve they eall fer, would place us in the rear of civilization for centuries.
