AVERY, cf Yuba, Resolutions Adopted by the Republican State Convention. The following resolutions passed ananimously: 7 Resolved, That the Union of all the States ™ust be preserved, the Federal Constitution sustained, and the National Flag respected wherever it waves. : Reavlved, That we heartily indorse and approve the held. firm, and energetic course of the pre eit Administration in defense of tle National Territory and property from the atiacks of rebels aud traitors; and we pledge ourselves, and all that we bave, to sustain the Federal Government in the use of all its forces in maintaining the Constitution enforcing the laws, re¢aptaring and preserving National Forts, Arsenals, and other property; punishing traitors,and in defending Union men in all parts of the country. Resolved, that the doctrine thata State is supérior to the Federal,Government.fand that the former has a paramount claim to our allegiance, and consequent assumption of right of secession, is repugnant tothe Constitution, and tu every principle of our system of government, and can only result in the destruction of the Union, and the establishment of general anarchy. Resolved, Phat we point with pride to the uprising of the peopie of ali classes, both native and foreign born, in support of the Federal Administration as giving assurance to the world that we have a Government fixed in the hearts e€ the people. and which is able to withstand all shoeks, whether from domestic traitors or foreign foes, and as giving further assurance of a speedy return of peace, by a thorough crushing eat of rebellion. Resolved, That we invite all who love the Tnion and Constitutisn, and who favor the enforcement of the laws, to unite with us in one great Administration party, in support of the Federal Government and National flag. Resolved, That our present Publie School aystem should be sustained in all its essential features, and every effort should be made toexfrom all sectarian inf@uences. Resolved, That under our present Administration we lock with hope to the speedy consumation of a Pacific Railroad, and the adoption of afree Homestead system in the disposition of.our public lands. “Resolved, That we are opposed te the granting of valuable franchises to private parties, . unless clearly required fer publie good, and the opinion and interests of loeal eommunities, whose rights are affected thereby, should always be consulted, and when itis clearly requis‘te that such franchises should be confived to individual or incorporated companies, the right to enjoy them should be offered to free public . competition, and under suitable restrictions, awarded tothoze who will accept their use for the shortest period, or pay into the public treas. THE TICKET. Since the ticket which Leads our columns was mada, by the Republican Convention at Sacramento,we have had an opportu. nity to see the spirit in which the nomina. tions have been received in the large cities of she State, and itis with no less pride than pleasure that we are enabled to say no ticket was ever presented for the suffrages of the people of California so acceptable as this. Against it as a whole nota word except in partisan spirit can be said The nominees are men of character and superior abilities; they are honest, patriotic and worthy, each one of them, to fill the place they individually occupy om the tick. et, and what is better, worthy to be promoted, as they will assuredly be, to the positions for which they are nominated. From Governor down to State printer, it _ elusive, there is not a name unfit to be on’ the ticket. We did not succeed at Sacramesto in getting some men nominated whom we would have liked to see among the Republican standard bearers ; but when we behold the field of combat-afterwards, and sce what other men must have been sacrificed to gain our choice, and what hazard we ran of impairing the strength of . the ticket, we are more than satisfied with the result, Nay, more, we are proud of the Republican party for the wisdom it displayed in making its selections. With soherness, earnestness and with patriotic motives our ticket was selected, and it it commends itself to the people of the State as the offspring of the cool, deliberate judgment of more than three hundred‘ patriotic intelligent and honorable . men coming together from all parts of the country for a great and good purpose. Its intrinsic excellence bears testimony to the exalted character of head and heart of . those who gave it birth. The platform adopted by the Republican State Convention is plain, patriotic, and without a spice. of clap-trap about it. It. ehallenges the respect ef even the enemies of the party. It sets forth in clear and un equivocal language the principles with which the Administration party hopes to eucceed. In brevity and comprehensive statement it has no superior among party platforms. With such a ticket. and such a platform; and with such respect and enthusiasm they both command every where, “‘there is no such thing as fail.” Intelligent men accustomed to judge popular sent.ment are free to assert that the ticket will receive the suffrages'of notless than sixty thousand freemen, and others declare it will sweep the State like a tornado, bearing down every thing before it. May it be so! Our country (Ged. bless her forever)is plunged in ti-e vortex of civil war. A man isat the helm who looks at the compass of theConstitution and doldly-aed with unfaltering trast is directing the noble ship with the stars and stripes nailed at the mast head against the storm. His orders mustbe obeyed. There must be no want of harmony among the crew! We want no discordaboard. There must be none. In our own part of the ship we want men who will stand by the President ig every cmergency. ‘Wo have them on the’ Republican ticket and the safe. ty of the cbunty demands their election. ;name we do not now recall “THE CONVENTION TO-MOKROW. The professors of an obsolete creed, un. der the name of Democracy, meet to-morrow in this city te put forth a county ticket A large preportion of the delegates elected to represent the-principles of the old Democratic party, are true Union men; we know, actuated by the best motives, aud would-net Knowingly 20 aught to jeopardize the bonds of Union. Among the number are gentlnen who, it seems to us, must see that there is nothing to contend for against the Administration party but the spoils, and however desirable these may be to office seekers it is quiteevident that men who are governed by noble and patriotic motives in the present crisis of affairs, are not to be controlled by any base desires. We know how hard it-isto break away from party sssociations, amd we are ‘“nclined to respect the attachment of Democrats for their honored party name. But when the time has come for the sacrifice of feeling for the good of the country, Democrats can honor their party name by ignoring. shadows for living substance. The Democraey cannot point to a single principle dear to them that is likely to be agitated in Congress or out while a traitorous organiration is in arms against the Government. Every principle of vital importance while the present unhappy contest lasts is dear to the hearts of Repubiicans and Democrats alike. The name of a party is nothing Arose by another name is just as sweet. The Republicans recognize the Administration as the Government for the four years tocome. They have elected a President and they are in duty bound to sustain him while he is right. Tnus far the course of tne President has met the approval of all Union men, without distinction of party. The Republicans indorse -his actions thus far. Cannot the Union Democrats do the same? Popular sovereignty, the tariff, nor any other question is among the subjects for discussion at the present time. The Gifficulties that beset the nation have buried all these. The overwhelming sentiment is, that the Republic must be first preserved, and minor questions of policy left to be settled afterward: In all the Eastern States there is but one party, and that is devoted to the preservation of the Union. It ought to beso here. We have labored to build up a Union party in this State. Other Republicans have done so too. We found no prominent Democrats ready to cooperate with us, and we are forced by choice to sustain the Republican organization. The reasons are plain. By uniting our endeavors with the Republicans we are sure of associating with none but Union men, while had we linked ; ourselves with the so-called Democratic Union party we should have found our. selves assoviating with an uncertain number of disguised traitors who may have . force and numbers sufficieat in that organization to demoralize it, thrusting upon the people such a candidate for Governor as Downey or cCorkle. the Union before everything else, it is plain the safest course is to choose that party The Democratic party has them in abundance; the Republican party has not a vestige of one with‘n its ranks. For this reason, if for no other, it seems to us, the place for Union men is with the Republican party. There are no principles for Union men to fight for against their brethren. Nothing brt a love of spoils can be the ruling motive of Union mento contend for against Union men, in the present canvass, and that is unworthy of patriots. Our forces ought not to be divided but united against the common enemy. The Contention of to-morrow may and probably will, nominate a ticket. The nominees hoping for the honors and emoluments of office, will be disposed to solicit votes at the hands of the people. Office seekers are not noted for being particularly modest in their demands. The rule generally is, that the more unworthy the more importunate they are. The people of the county must, however great the importunities of the so-called Democrats, see by whom they are nominated and the tendencies of giving them support, and the true Union men of the county, without regurd to former party associitions will give their suffrages to that party that presents to them the strongest positive Union qualities, has no disunionists or traitors in it. CanpipaTes.+We gave as near as we could ascertain, the probable candidates for the various county offices, in the JourNat of last week. Others are spoken of since that time. For the office of Sheriff, Louis R. Sowers, of Grass Valley is mentioned, and Joseph Worrell, of this city. For Recorder, Judge Colburn is aw appticant, and Wm. H. Smith of Omega, A gentlenan from Rough & Ready, whose to mind, is a candidate for Assessor. The friends of L. W. Williams, of this place, are anx ious to see him on the ticket for the Assembly. John Turner is also candidate.— Wm. H. Sears, a substantial and worthy citizen of North San Juan, is promi nently spoken of for the same place, and also, Reuben Leach, an excellent young man of business, of Grass Valley. The above gentlemen are named by the Administration party. In the so-called Democratic party there are plenty of applicants, but no great eagerness is seen for any of the positions but Sheriff, Collector and District Judge. For the latter place Jobn I. Caldwell is sanguine he has the inside track. The particular friends of McConnell feel sure, however, of carrying their point. We regard the nomination of McConuell inevitable unless Chase, or some other new man is brought on the course The contestis to be decided to-morrow. Doveras’ Scccessor.— As an evidence of the liberality of the Republicans towards the Union Democrats we may adduce the fact that John A. McClernard of Illinois, is spoken of asthe successor of Douglas in the United States Senate. McC isa follower of Douglas. In Illinois @: Republican Governor makes no distinction between & Douglas Democrat and a Republican. : Starr Kixe.—As this gentleman can hardly find vent for his patriotiem in lectures, itis proposed that he stump the State for the If we are truly for} -& LOSING GAME. We. bad something to say las* week of the evil effects of high fare between this place and Sacramenty, charged by tbe California Stage Company. More extended observation convinces us that the city is suffering heavily fronz the extortion of the aforesaid company. The proofis directly before the eyes of every citizen that travel to and from this city and Sacramento has fallen off to an alarming cxtent, and to no other cause! can it be ascribed than the high fare cliarged by the stage company. It is obvious to every mind that ten dollars is fartoo much for a ride of 70-miles inja stage wacon, and only those who are compelled will payit. The stages going to Marysville, on account of the cheap fare prodnced by McCue’s opposition line, sre daily crowded with passengers, and so they will be until the fare on the direct route to Sacramento is reduced. But we started out to say that probably the stage company will not reduce the fare unless compelled to do so by powerful pressure. The company cares not whether the community prospsrsif it only mantains & monopoly in-staging and gets good pay for its labors. But we, the citizens of Nevada, do, and it becomes necessary for us . to counteract the evils the stage company is forcing on us. If our hotel keepers are crippled by the company and business gen. erally languishes in consequence of its extortion, it becomes us as men of spirit and energy, and in self defense, to break down the monopoly by inaugurating a powerful opposition. A combination of capital and effort is demanded to meet the machinations of the enemies of the place, and that ean be had in a few days. A prominent citizen is ready to patin five hundred dollars to start an oppositiod stage line between this place and Sacramento. It needs but a few such men to procure the benefits . of cheap fare which properly and naturally belong to this vicinity, and which have been diverted by the extortionate prices of the California Stage Company. The object so much desired and needed can be accomplished in another way and quite as . effectually without an outlay of a dollar on our part. We have only to procure the joint cooperation of the citizens of Grass Valley and Nevada in support of an opposition stage line, and one will be put upon the road in a wecek’s time. the part of our people to patronize and en. ; courage an opposition would create one to the section in which we live to encourage by every means in our power an oppo. with Folsom, and it is greatly to the interest of Sacramento and the Sac. Valley Railroad to encourage it also. out delay to forward the thing effectually . and speedily. Inscry Frost Frrine oF Caxnon.—A correspondent of the Marysville Appeal gives . the following in reference to the evil results . of firing cannon in cities. Itis a subject . which recommends itself to the carefulcon. . soe . { sideration of all respectable citizens in our . midst: As our national anniversary is near at} . hand, and extensfve preparations will prob. . ably be mitde for its celebration, T would j ask through you that the citize-s dispense . with the firing of cannon on that day with. in or near the city, on the ground that the health and future well being of the community demand it. Speaking of the evil results sometimes produced in certain cases by violent concussions, Baron Percy a distinguished French army surgeon and professor, says that in consequence of the severe cannonading at the siege of Landau, in 1793, “of ninety-two children born in the district within a few months afterwards, sixteen died the instant of birth, thirtythree languished from eight to ten months, and then died; eight became idiotic and died before the age of five years.” And other evils were produced, which I do not . deem it necessary to set forth iu this communication. It may be said that there can be no comparison between the terrific canonading during that siege and the firing of small guns oceasionally used in this place True, but it can readily be answered that the lesser cause would only produce the lesser amount of evil, and the probability of causing even one case of such distress I think should deter all good people from in dulging in such demonstrations. PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY.—In the war of 1812, the construction of the Act of 1795, became the subject of judicial determination. The question of the authority of the President to call for volunteers, of Governors to refuse, and privates to rebel, came before the Supreme Court of the United States. John Marshall and Bushrod Washington, of Virginia, Wm. Johnson, of Sonth Carolina, Gabriel Duval, of Maryland, Robert Trimball, of Kentucky, Joseph Story, of Massachusetts, and Smith Thompson, of New York, were on the Bench. They decided the point in these words: “Ts the President the sole and exclusive judge whether the exigency has arisen, or is it to be considered an open question, upon which every officer to whom the orders of the President are addressed may decide for himself, and equally opea to be contested by every militia man who shall refuse to obey the orders of the President? We are all of the opinion that the authority to decide whether the exigency has arisen belongs exclusively to the President. and that his decision ts conclusive upon all other persons. We think that this construction necessarily 1¢sults irom the nature of the power itself, and from the manifest object contemwplated by the act of Congress.” President Lincoln is new acting under the authority of the Consticution, and the . act of Congress of 1795. Reevstican Nominatioxs in Pracer.—At the late Republican County Convention Fe at Aubcrn, the foilowing ticket was nominated: For Senator, W. D. Harriman, of Dutch Flat: fot Assemblyrien, John Yule, of Michigan Bluff, F. W. Hillyer, of Auburn, and B. GC; Minn, of Union Shed; for Superitendent of Common Schools, C. P. Goodrich, of Rattlesnake. Mr. Harriman was a member of Assembly in the last Legislature; and a very efficient one too. PRePaRED EVEN wiTH Pestivence.—If we are to judge by the statements of rebel State newspapers we might believe that . the southern confederates are so complete{ly prepared with the materials of destruc( tion as to be able to attack the federal troops at any point with either the smailpox, cholera oa, yellow fever.

We owe it to ourselves and . sition line of stages connecting this city . Something . in the right direction should be done with . delegation to the County Convention of toHexxess Pass Roap.—Arrangements are making to go on and complete the Henness Pass Turnpike as soon a3 the Company is gotten into such shape as. to give assurance that the Jaborers will be promptly paid.— Owing to the indifference-and delinquencies of some stock holders the enterprize has been at a stand stilt when it onght to have been pushed. forward, with energy.— The assessments en a large number of shares amount to about thirty cents on the dollar which is not likely to be paid. Those men who seized on the road, knowing the great natural advantages of the Henness Passover any other route across the monvtains; with the hope of making a speculation out of it without an expenditure of money, ave about to find their dreams unrealized. Their stock will probably be sold for assessments. Parties stand ready to purchase the stock and go on and finish the road within thirty days after the management of affairs comes into their hands,— One hundred men will be put to work on the road when satisfactory arragements are made. The road is new 'n a pretty good condition. The rains of the winter have cut away the embankments and gullied the track in some places, yet not so badly but that teams manage to pass cleverly. For mounted travelers the road is decidedly better than any other to the silver regfons in Nevada Territory, and the travel over it is considerable in spite of the prestige of the Placerville route. “Too Unraa.”—Such is the objection raised against Frank M. Pixley, candidate for Attorney General on the Administration Union ticket. The charge is made'generally by men who voted for Herbert and . Scott for Congress, Botts for State Printer, Heydenfeldt for Supreme Judge, and 4 lat . years agone. The Democratic party has objectionable ultra men that could be found in the party, and they have been elected — Now when these same men are declaring positively that the slave States are going . to slough of from the Union, releiving themselves of the excitement of the negro . question, they raise a hue and cry against @ candidate because they say is too ultra, or, to use their lying phrase, he is an aboli. tionist. What matters it to them what se: -_ tiaents a man entertains on the slave ques. tion, so long as, in their opinion, he can. not interfere to their injury? « They are . citizens in sentiment and action of the . the Southern Slave Confederacy, and for. eigners by their own professions, and have . . no right to interfere in the affairs of anoth# ernation. Their impudence is intolerable. Waat’s in Tae Winp?—The Grass Valley . . Of these, nineteen . are foreiguers and eight Americans. So . faras the character and standing of the . morrow consists of 27. . delegates are coucerned we can say for. them, they are good and worthy citizens. . Butit is useless to disguise the object of . p'acing so many foreigners on the list. It cannot deceive a right thinking gentleman) of foreign birth, any more than the seizing . upon the fourth of July to give a character . of patriotism toa party. By such expedi-. dients it is expected that the foreign vote . will be caught as well as the mostignorant . of the native born. It will not answer, . however. By courtesy, at least, the Ameri. cans are entitled-tc, say, one haf the delegation from Grass Valley, and no people! will look upon the efforts of toadyiug! Americans to catch the foreign vote by . such shallow tricks, with more contempt . and disgust than the adopted citizens themselves. They are not to be caught by such . an artifice. The trick is too apparent to catch the most silly. Tue INDEPENDENT Press of the State, without exception so far as our observation extends, speaks favorably of the nominations of the Republican party. The Sacramento Union has seeu fit to assert that the platform of the party is an excellent one, but “intensely republican.’ What ite definition of intensely is, we suspect. If, however, a single sentence in the Republican platform is not just right and proper, we would be obliged to any Union man to point it out. The platform challenges discussion. J. M. Cunnarp, a candidate fef the Assem. ly in 1856 on the American ticket in this county, is nominated for tho same placo by tho Republicans of Buite County, Mr. Cunnard has the reputation of a clever gentleman. Tho Territorial Euterprize thinks brother Cooper, of the Sierra Citizen, in attempting to unite the wings of the Democracy, is engaged in the fruitless task of making a barrel to an cld bung-hole—a most difficult and disgusting job of Coopering. Cogrcion.—The Republicaus are coercionists They would coerce the rebel states. They believe in ceercion. They coerced three men at least to occupy places on the State ticket—all for the good of. the country. —————— Saw Miri Burxt.—The saw mill of Clark & Johnson, near North San Juan, was totally consumed by fire on the night of Tuesday last. The office and a quantity of lumber were also consumed, Loss estimated at about $5,000. Our witm wis Mure.—Frank Pixley, with his mule, has begun the campaign in the southern mines, Frank is a splendid speaker and up to snuff, and if he don’t make the “mountains howl’ till September his tonguc will cleave to the roof of bis mouth, Mixe Brannieax,of Vigilance Committee mem ory, has been arrested for committing a beastly crime on the person ot Miss Edith Mitchell, the actress. It was an unlucky day when the Vigilantes failed to catch the brute. Live Porxt Acaix.—The Supreme Court bas decided the Lime Point, case, reversing judgment rendered by McKinistry, whe held that the law to provide fer the condemnation of private property for the use of the Federal Government is unconstitutioual. The Supreme Court hold ‘it te be constitutional, and the ef\ fect of their decision will be. that the land at Lime Point wili be condemned, its value assessed by a jury, and taken for the use of the United States for military oe prey The opinaion is written by Baldwin, Field and Cope con curring. The new Baptist church, Stockton, was dedicated on Sunday, The entire cust of the edifice was $15,300, of which $6,000 have been paid, and the sum of 9,300 is due. Voractovs.—Jerry Brown, residing vear Visalia, -‘being duly aworn, deposes,” that the grasshoppers have eaten up ali bia vegetables above ground and bare bow commonced digging his poteices, — seine ee . of other ultra fire eaters, known to be so in CORNER PINE AND COMMERCIAL SFREETS. jane2sis tf Apiariinm.

AVERY, cf Yuba, Resolutions Adopted by the Republican State Convention. The following resolutions passed ananimously: 7 Resolved, That the Union of all the States ™ust be preserved, the Federal Constitution sustained, and the National Flag respected wherever it waves. : Reavlved, That we heartily indorse and approve the held. firm, and energetic course of the pre eit Administration in defense of tle National Territory and property from the atiacks of rebels aud traitors; and we pledge ourselves, and all that we bave, to sustain the Federal Government in the use of all its forces in maintaining the Constitution enforcing the laws, re¢aptaring and preserving National Forts, Arsenals, and other property; punishing traitors,and in defending Union men in all parts of the country. Resolved, that the doctrine thata State is supérior to the Federal,Government.fand that the former has a paramount claim to our allegiance, and consequent assumption of right of secession, is repugnant tothe Constitution, and tu every principle of our system of government, and can only result in the destruction of the Union, and the establishment of general anarchy. Resolved, Phat we point with pride to the uprising of the peopie of ali classes, both native and foreign born, in support of the Federal Administration as giving assurance to the world that we have a Government fixed in the hearts e€ the people. and which is able to withstand all shoeks, whether from domestic traitors or foreign foes, and as giving further assurance of a speedy return of peace, by a thorough crushing eat of rebellion. Resolved, That we invite all who love the Tnion and Constitutisn, and who favor the enforcement of the laws, to unite with us in one great Administration party, in support of the Federal Government and National flag. Resolved, That our present Publie School aystem should be sustained in all its essential features, and every effort should be made toexfrom all sectarian inf@uences. Resolved, That under our present Administration we lock with hope to the speedy consumation of a Pacific Railroad, and the adoption of afree Homestead system in the disposition of.our public lands. “Resolved, That we are opposed te the granting of valuable franchises to private parties, . unless clearly required fer publie good, and the opinion and interests of loeal eommunities, whose rights are affected thereby, should always be consulted, and when itis clearly requis‘te that such franchises should be confived to individual or incorporated companies, the right to enjoy them should be offered to free public . competition, and under suitable restrictions, awarded tothoze who will accept their use for the shortest period, or pay into the public treas. THE TICKET. Since the ticket which Leads our columns was mada, by the Republican Convention at Sacramento,we have had an opportu. nity to see the spirit in which the nomina. tions have been received in the large cities of she State, and itis with no less pride than pleasure that we are enabled to say no ticket was ever presented for the suffrages of the people of California so acceptable as this. Against it as a whole nota word except in partisan spirit can be said The nominees are men of character and superior abilities; they are honest, patriotic and worthy, each one of them, to fill the place they individually occupy om the tick. et, and what is better, worthy to be promoted, as they will assuredly be, to the positions for which they are nominated. From Governor down to State printer, it _ elusive, there is not a name unfit to be on’ the ticket. We did not succeed at Sacramesto in getting some men nominated whom we would have liked to see among the Republican standard bearers ; but when we behold the field of combat-afterwards, and sce what other men must have been sacrificed to gain our choice, and what hazard we ran of impairing the strength of . the ticket, we are more than satisfied with the result, Nay, more, we are proud of the Republican party for the wisdom it displayed in making its selections. With soherness, earnestness and with patriotic motives our ticket was selected, and it it commends itself to the people of the State as the offspring of the cool, deliberate judgment of more than three hundred‘ patriotic intelligent and honorable . men coming together from all parts of the country for a great and good purpose. Its intrinsic excellence bears testimony to the exalted character of head and heart of . those who gave it birth. The platform adopted by the Republican State Convention is plain, patriotic, and without a spice. of clap-trap about it. It. ehallenges the respect ef even the enemies of the party. It sets forth in clear and un equivocal language the principles with which the Administration party hopes to eucceed. In brevity and comprehensive statement it has no superior among party platforms. With such a ticket. and such a platform; and with such respect and enthusiasm they both command every where, “‘there is no such thing as fail.” Intelligent men accustomed to judge popular sent.ment are free to assert that the ticket will receive the suffrages'of notless than sixty thousand freemen, and others declare it will sweep the State like a tornado, bearing down every thing before it. May it be so! Our country (Ged. bless her forever)is plunged in ti-e vortex of civil war. A man isat the helm who looks at the compass of theConstitution and doldly-aed with unfaltering trast is directing the noble ship with the stars and stripes nailed at the mast head against the storm. His orders mustbe obeyed. There must be no want of harmony among the crew! We want no discordaboard. There must be none. In our own part of the ship we want men who will stand by the President ig every cmergency. ‘Wo have them on the’ Republican ticket and the safe. ty of the cbunty demands their election. ;name we do not now recall “THE CONVENTION TO-MOKROW. The professors of an obsolete creed, un. der the name of Democracy, meet to-morrow in this city te put forth a county ticket A large preportion of the delegates elected to represent the-principles of the old Democratic party, are true Union men; we know, actuated by the best motives, aud would-net Knowingly 20 aught to jeopardize the bonds of Union. Among the number are gentlnen who, it seems to us, must see that there is nothing to contend for against the Administration party but the spoils, and however desirable these may be to office seekers it is quiteevident that men who are governed by noble and patriotic motives in the present crisis of affairs, are not to be controlled by any base desires. We know how hard it-isto break away from party sssociations, amd we are ‘“nclined to respect the attachment of Democrats for their honored party name. But when the time has come for the sacrifice of feeling for the good of the country, Democrats can honor their party name by ignoring. shadows for living substance. The Democraey cannot point to a single principle dear to them that is likely to be agitated in Congress or out while a traitorous organiration is in arms against the Government. Every principle of vital importance while the present unhappy contest lasts is dear to the hearts of Repubiicans and Democrats alike. The name of a party is nothing Arose by another name is just as sweet. The Republicans recognize the Administration as the Government for the four years tocome. They have elected a President and they are in duty bound to sustain him while he is right. Tnus far the course of tne President has met the approval of all Union men, without distinction of party. The Republicans indorse -his actions thus far. Cannot the Union Democrats do the same? Popular sovereignty, the tariff, nor any other question is among the subjects for discussion at the present time. The Gifficulties that beset the nation have buried all these. The overwhelming sentiment is, that the Republic must be first preserved, and minor questions of policy left to be settled afterward: In all the Eastern States there is but one party, and that is devoted to the preservation of the Union. It ought to beso here. We have labored to build up a Union party in this State. Other Republicans have done so too. We found no prominent Democrats ready to cooperate with us, and we are forced by choice to sustain the Republican organization. The reasons are plain. By uniting our endeavors with the Republicans we are sure of associating with none but Union men, while had we linked ; ourselves with the so-called Democratic Union party we should have found our. selves assoviating with an uncertain number of disguised traitors who may have . force and numbers sufficieat in that organization to demoralize it, thrusting upon the people such a candidate for Governor as Downey or cCorkle. the Union before everything else, it is plain the safest course is to choose that party The Democratic party has them in abundance; the Republican party has not a vestige of one with‘n its ranks. For this reason, if for no other, it seems to us, the place for Union men is with the Republican party. There are no principles for Union men to fight for against their brethren. Nothing brt a love of spoils can be the ruling motive of Union mento contend for against Union men, in the present canvass, and that is unworthy of patriots. Our forces ought not to be divided but united against the common enemy. The Contention of to-morrow may and probably will, nominate a ticket. The nominees hoping for the honors and emoluments of office, will be disposed to solicit votes at the hands of the people. Office seekers are not noted for being particularly modest in their demands. The rule generally is, that the more unworthy the more importunate they are. The people of the county must, however great the importunities of the so-called Democrats, see by whom they are nominated and the tendencies of giving them support, and the true Union men of the county, without regurd to former party associitions will give their suffrages to that party that presents to them the strongest positive Union qualities, has no disunionists or traitors in it. CanpipaTes.+We gave as near as we could ascertain, the probable candidates for the various county offices, in the JourNat of last week. Others are spoken of since that time. For the office of Sheriff, Louis R. Sowers, of Grass Valley is mentioned, and Joseph Worrell, of this city. For Recorder, Judge Colburn is aw appticant, and Wm. H. Smith of Omega, A gentlenan from Rough & Ready, whose to mind, is a candidate for Assessor. The friends of L. W. Williams, of this place, are anx ious to see him on the ticket for the Assembly. John Turner is also candidate.— Wm. H. Sears, a substantial and worthy citizen of North San Juan, is promi nently spoken of for the same place, and also, Reuben Leach, an excellent young man of business, of Grass Valley. The above gentlemen are named by the Administration party. In the so-called Democratic party there are plenty of applicants, but no great eagerness is seen for any of the positions but Sheriff, Collector and District Judge. For the latter place Jobn I. Caldwell is sanguine he has the inside track. The particular friends of McConnell feel sure, however, of carrying their point. We regard the nomination of McConuell inevitable unless Chase, or some other new man is brought on the course The contestis to be decided to-morrow. Doveras’ Scccessor.— As an evidence of the liberality of the Republicans towards the Union Democrats we may adduce the fact that John A. McClernard of Illinois, is spoken of asthe successor of Douglas in the United States Senate. McC isa follower of Douglas. In Illinois @: Republican Governor makes no distinction between & Douglas Democrat and a Republican. : Starr Kixe.—As this gentleman can hardly find vent for his patriotiem in lectures, itis proposed that he stump the State for the If we are truly for} -& LOSING GAME. We. bad something to say las* week of the evil effects of high fare between this place and Sacramenty, charged by tbe California Stage Company. More extended observation convinces us that the city is suffering heavily fronz the extortion of the aforesaid company. The proofis directly before the eyes of every citizen that travel to and from this city and Sacramento has fallen off to an alarming cxtent, and to no other cause! can it be ascribed than the high fare cliarged by the stage company. It is obvious to every mind that ten dollars is fartoo much for a ride of 70-miles inja stage wacon, and only those who are compelled will payit. The stages going to Marysville, on account of the cheap fare prodnced by McCue’s opposition line, sre daily crowded with passengers, and so they will be until the fare on the direct route to Sacramento is reduced. But we started out to say that probably the stage company will not reduce the fare unless compelled to do so by powerful pressure. The company cares not whether the community prospsrsif it only mantains & monopoly in-staging and gets good pay for its labors. But we, the citizens of Nevada, do, and it becomes necessary for us . to counteract the evils the stage company is forcing on us. If our hotel keepers are crippled by the company and business gen. erally languishes in consequence of its extortion, it becomes us as men of spirit and energy, and in self defense, to break down the monopoly by inaugurating a powerful opposition. A combination of capital and effort is demanded to meet the machinations of the enemies of the place, and that ean be had in a few days. A prominent citizen is ready to patin five hundred dollars to start an oppositiod stage line between this place and Sacramento. It needs but a few such men to procure the benefits . of cheap fare which properly and naturally belong to this vicinity, and which have been diverted by the extortionate prices of the California Stage Company. The object so much desired and needed can be accomplished in another way and quite as . effectually without an outlay of a dollar on our part. We have only to procure the joint cooperation of the citizens of Grass Valley and Nevada in support of an opposition stage line, and one will be put upon the road in a wecek’s time. the part of our people to patronize and en. ; courage an opposition would create one to the section in which we live to encourage by every means in our power an oppo. with Folsom, and it is greatly to the interest of Sacramento and the Sac. Valley Railroad to encourage it also. out delay to forward the thing effectually . and speedily. Inscry Frost Frrine oF Caxnon.—A correspondent of the Marysville Appeal gives . the following in reference to the evil results . of firing cannon in cities. Itis a subject . which recommends itself to the carefulcon. . soe . { sideration of all respectable citizens in our . midst: As our national anniversary is near at} . hand, and extensfve preparations will prob. . ably be mitde for its celebration, T would j ask through you that the citize-s dispense . with the firing of cannon on that day with. in or near the city, on the ground that the health and future well being of the community demand it. Speaking of the evil results sometimes produced in certain cases by violent concussions, Baron Percy a distinguished French army surgeon and professor, says that in consequence of the severe cannonading at the siege of Landau, in 1793, “of ninety-two children born in the district within a few months afterwards, sixteen died the instant of birth, thirtythree languished from eight to ten months, and then died; eight became idiotic and died before the age of five years.” And other evils were produced, which I do not . deem it necessary to set forth iu this communication. It may be said that there can be no comparison between the terrific canonading during that siege and the firing of small guns oceasionally used in this place True, but it can readily be answered that the lesser cause would only produce the lesser amount of evil, and the probability of causing even one case of such distress I think should deter all good people from in dulging in such demonstrations. PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY.—In the war of 1812, the construction of the Act of 1795, became the subject of judicial determination. The question of the authority of the President to call for volunteers, of Governors to refuse, and privates to rebel, came before the Supreme Court of the United States. John Marshall and Bushrod Washington, of Virginia, Wm. Johnson, of Sonth Carolina, Gabriel Duval, of Maryland, Robert Trimball, of Kentucky, Joseph Story, of Massachusetts, and Smith Thompson, of New York, were on the Bench. They decided the point in these words: “Ts the President the sole and exclusive judge whether the exigency has arisen, or is it to be considered an open question, upon which every officer to whom the orders of the President are addressed may decide for himself, and equally opea to be contested by every militia man who shall refuse to obey the orders of the President? We are all of the opinion that the authority to decide whether the exigency has arisen belongs exclusively to the President. and that his decision ts conclusive upon all other persons. We think that this construction necessarily 1¢sults irom the nature of the power itself, and from the manifest object contemwplated by the act of Congress.” President Lincoln is new acting under the authority of the Consticution, and the . act of Congress of 1795. Reevstican Nominatioxs in Pracer.—At the late Republican County Convention Fe at Aubcrn, the foilowing ticket was nominated: For Senator, W. D. Harriman, of Dutch Flat: fot Assemblyrien, John Yule, of Michigan Bluff, F. W. Hillyer, of Auburn, and B. GC; Minn, of Union Shed; for Superitendent of Common Schools, C. P. Goodrich, of Rattlesnake. Mr. Harriman was a member of Assembly in the last Legislature; and a very efficient one too. PRePaRED EVEN wiTH Pestivence.—If we are to judge by the statements of rebel State newspapers we might believe that . the southern confederates are so complete{ly prepared with the materials of destruc( tion as to be able to attack the federal troops at any point with either the smailpox, cholera oa, yellow fever.

Something . in the right direction should be done with . delegation to the County Convention of toHexxess Pass Roap.—Arrangements are making to go on and complete the Henness Pass Turnpike as soon a3 the Company is gotten into such shape as. to give assurance that the Jaborers will be promptly paid.— Owing to the indifference-and delinquencies of some stock holders the enterprize has been at a stand stilt when it onght to have been pushed. forward, with energy.— The assessments en a large number of shares amount to about thirty cents on the dollar which is not likely to be paid. Those men who seized on the road, knowing the great natural advantages of the Henness Passover any other route across the monvtains; with the hope of making a speculation out of it without an expenditure of money, ave about to find their dreams unrealized. Their stock will probably be sold for assessments. Parties stand ready to purchase the stock and go on and finish the road within thirty days after the management of affairs comes into their hands,— One hundred men will be put to work on the road when satisfactory arragements are made. The road is new 'n a pretty good condition. The rains of the winter have cut away the embankments and gullied the track in some places, yet not so badly but that teams manage to pass cleverly. For mounted travelers the road is decidedly better than any other to the silver regfons in Nevada Territory, and the travel over it is considerable in spite of the prestige of the Placerville route. “Too Unraa.”—Such is the objection raised against Frank M. Pixley, candidate for Attorney General on the Administration Union ticket. The charge is made'generally by men who voted for Herbert and . Scott for Congress, Botts for State Printer, Heydenfeldt for Supreme Judge, and 4 lat . years agone. The Democratic party has objectionable ultra men that could be found in the party, and they have been elected — Now when these same men are declaring positively that the slave States are going . to slough of from the Union, releiving themselves of the excitement of the negro . question, they raise a hue and cry against @ candidate because they say is too ultra, or, to use their lying phrase, he is an aboli. tionist. What matters it to them what se: -_ tiaents a man entertains on the slave ques. tion, so long as, in their opinion, he can. not interfere to their injury? « They are . citizens in sentiment and action of the . the Southern Slave Confederacy, and for. eigners by their own professions, and have .

. no right to interfere in the affairs of anoth# ernation. Their impudence is intolerable. Waat’s in Tae Winp?—The Grass Valley . . Of these, nineteen . are foreiguers and eight Americans. So . faras the character and standing of the . morrow consists of 27. . delegates are coucerned we can say for. them, they are good and worthy citizens. . Butit is useless to disguise the object of . p'acing so many foreigners on the list. It cannot deceive a right thinking gentleman) of foreign birth, any more than the seizing . upon the fourth of July to give a character . of patriotism toa party. By such expedi-. dients it is expected that the foreign vote . will be caught as well as the mostignorant . of the native born. It will not answer, . however. By courtesy, at least, the Ameri. cans are entitled-tc, say, one haf the delegation from Grass Valley, and no people! will look upon the efforts of toadyiug! Americans to catch the foreign vote by . such shallow tricks, with more contempt . and disgust than the adopted citizens themselves. They are not to be caught by such . an artifice. The trick is too apparent to catch the most silly. Tue INDEPENDENT Press of the State, without exception so far as our observation extends, speaks favorably of the nominations of the Republican party. The Sacramento Union has seeu fit to assert that the platform of the party is an excellent one, but “intensely republican.’ What ite definition of intensely is, we suspect. If, however, a single sentence in the Republican platform is not just right and proper, we would be obliged to any Union man to point it out. The platform challenges discussion. J. M. Cunnarp, a candidate fef the Assem. ly in 1856 on the American ticket in this county, is nominated for tho same placo by tho Republicans of Buite County, Mr. Cunnard has the reputation of a clever gentleman. Tho Territorial Euterprize thinks brother Cooper, of the Sierra Citizen, in attempting to unite the wings of the Democracy, is engaged in the fruitless task of making a barrel to an cld bung-hole—a most difficult and disgusting job of Coopering. Cogrcion.—The Republicaus are coercionists They would coerce the rebel states. They believe in ceercion. They coerced three men at least to occupy places on the State ticket—all for the good of. the country. —————— Saw Miri Burxt.—The saw mill of Clark & Johnson, near North San Juan, was totally consumed by fire on the night of Tuesday last. The office and a quantity of lumber were also consumed, Loss estimated at about $5,000. Our witm wis Mure.—Frank Pixley, with his mule, has begun the campaign in the southern mines, Frank is a splendid speaker and up to snuff, and if he don’t make the “mountains howl’ till September his tonguc will cleave to the roof of bis mouth, Mixe Brannieax,of Vigilance Committee mem ory, has been arrested for committing a beastly crime on the person ot Miss Edith Mitchell, the actress. It was an unlucky day when the Vigilantes failed to catch the brute. Live Porxt Acaix.—The Supreme Court bas decided the Lime Point, case, reversing judgment rendered by McKinistry, whe held that the law to provide fer the condemnation of private property for the use of the Federal Government is unconstitutioual. The Supreme Court hold ‘it te be constitutional, and the ef\ fect of their decision will be. that the land at Lime Point wili be condemned, its value assessed by a jury, and taken for the use of the United States for military oe prey The opinaion is written by Baldwin, Field and Cope con curring. The new Baptist church, Stockton, was dedicated on Sunday, The entire cust of the edifice was $15,300, of which $6,000 have been paid, and the sum of 9,300 is due.
