The Bud Hydraulic P Press. NORTH SAN JUAN, MAY 4,1 1861. L. P. FISHER, No 17114 Washingtonstreet San Francisco, is our only authorized “Agent for that city. RANDAL & CO., 61 Dstreet Marysville, are an thorized to receive advertisements and subscriptions forthe Press at that place. “THE UNION MUST AND ) SHALL BE PRESERVED.” “Forever float that standard sheet, Where lives the foe, but falls before us, With freedom’s soil beneath our feet, : And freedom’s banner waving o’er us!” MARYSVILLE Apveprieuns Trade vetwe een Marysville and the mountains is resuming its usual Spring briskness. Wecommend our dealers to a perusal of the Marysville advertisements to be found in this paper. ———* Be UNION Mrrtine AT CHEROKEE.—The Union men of Cherokee held a large and enthusiastic meeting on Sunday night, to form a Club and interchange sentiment on the exciting topic of the civil war inaugurated by South Carolina. Among the speakers was Col. James Collins, who served in one of the Illinois regiments during the Mexican war, and on his return home was voted a sword by the Legislature for his bravery. We are informed by a gentleman who was present, that his remarks were eloquent and eminently patriotic. He, in common with all who were present, felt and expressed the determination to stand by the President in enforcing the laws and suppressing rebellion. This is the true spirit to be manifested, and there is little doubt but it finds an echo in the hearts of seven-tenths of the patriots of California, without reference to party. Goop Liqvors.—Thomas Gilligan, of Marysville, is noted for the superiority of the wines and liquors which are contained in his cellars. Our saloon keepers, on visiting that place, should examine his stock. If Mr. G. should chance not to be in, Mr. A. C. Johnson will be found to ‘‘do the honors” in approved and isi acon style. festa —-+ @ «— A Charleston correspondent says: “I met Duncan N. Ingraham this afternoon at the Arsenal. The hero of the Kozsta affair looks w an, pale, andillatease. It was a tremendous sacrifice of everything that a man prizes to turn one’s back on a flag that has honored him in so many ways, and that he himself has elevated so proudly in the blue Mediterranean.” > The parallel to this case may be supposed to have occurred when Satan, once a spirit of light, found himself ejected from heaven. Ah, who that has deserted, if not betrayed his country, can expect a conscience at ease, or an honorable glory thereafter on the historic page ! + @ +Front Rank The Marysv “ile Vemienat, under the management of its new editor, Mr. Geo. C. Gorham, maintains first rank as a Union paper. Itstrikes heavy blows, right and left, at secessionism, and ought to ba liberally supported by all good friends of the country. ieee A Proper Move.—The Hepobtioess called a meeting on Saturday} evening last, and formed a Republican Union Club. This excluded all other kinds of Union men, and was, of course, objectionable. They did not attend. This error has been repaired by the Club, which met on Thursday evening, and so amended its Constitution as to include Union men irrespective of party. Old-linc Whigs, Democrats, Breckinridge men, and all others who choose, are now eligible to join the Club and take part in its proceedings. Thisis as it should be. a rather kaPrM., of up country, who sent us so peremptory an order for the discontinuance of his paper, is remineded, in the politest manner possible, that he is indebted to this office seventeen dollars. Whenhe pays that amount his name will be stricken from our list, and no grumbling. ———_----e ADOPTED CITIZENS ALL RiGut.—The reports from the Atlantic States go to prove that our adopted citizens of all nations, are enthusiastic in support of the Union. The Irish, the Germans, and the Jews, as distinctive nationalities, are offering their services in the ranks. In this State, there is no doubt but our adopted citizens can be equally relied on. MovunTAIN TRAVEL.—See the advertisement of Mr. J. A. Reticker, in to-day’s paper. CHEEK BY JowL.—The abolitionists and secessionists are the only two parties in the United States who favor a destruction of the Government. The latter are up in arms against it, while the former chuckle and dance to the music of their cannon. Here is “affinity” for you, with a vengeance ! ! PR ae Sea i PENNSYLVANIA.—This is the Commonwealth of our nativity, and we are proud to see the front rank she is taking in the noble effort to preserve the Union. We have, perhaps, as much State pride as any Southern man dare have, but we declare openly and freely, that had she faltered one moment in the great Union cause, we would have plucked her from our heart as we would a poisonous weed from our garden. Thank God, we can rise above all such narrow patriotism as belongs to State lines and State affections. The flag of the country is ours—hallowed in its associations and consecrated by the blood of Revolutionary patriots! a A Fisuy THEFT.—Some scamp entered the Bank Exchange stealthily on Monday evening and stole from behind the side-counter a—sack of fresh oysters! They had only been delivered a few moments before from one of the down-country coaches. Srrvek its Corors.—In the details of the pony news we see it stated that the New Orleans True Delta newspaper, after standing up manfully from the beginning against secession, has struck its colors and gone into the fold of the enemy. One of our California editors had so much confidence in the fidelity of the True Delta, that he suggested the propriety of circulating a subscription paper for its benefit. It is to be hoped now, that no movement has been made in the matter. ee peerenriegenicnononen other State offices will be to fill, two, and perhaps three Congressmen to choose, in addition to the choice of members of the Legislature. It is time for the people to look about them for competent men to occupy these positions. There should be but one test—“Is HE A UNION MAN?” Nota ee ee PATRONAGE WITHDRAWN. The communications which we give below were received through the post-office Thursday morning, enclosed in separate envelopes, but done np in one common parcel. We withhold the names of the signers, from the fact that we invited and still continue to invite, a withdrawal of all patronage extended by those who are in favor of disrupting the Union, and because each and all . of the persons alluded tov, have heretofore been . filled; . . atom atson ann ee sei epeceoees pirintccgiancenranaintonegertoet eases Ss‘ Alas: Poor Country !” Is it possible there lives an American citizen who has voted at the ballot-box ; who has gloried in the long list of Revolutionary names ; who has read of that Revolution’s battles, of the country’s more recent naval exploits ; who has seen the dignity of its flag respected in foreign climes ; who has beheld its offices filled by statesmen from the North and the South, and ably who has listened to the soul-thrilling recognised by us as worthy gentlemen and good . tones of Henry Clay’s voice; who has perused citizens. We publish these notes simply to . the patriotic pages of Webster’s Constitutional show that there is such a thing as a secession arguments ; who has heard the thunder-awakenelement in this county. The offence which we . ing belches of heavy cannon on the mornings of . have given to these men, does not arise from < any . . the Fourth of July; who has been reminded in difference of opinion with regard to the rights of . thrilling strains from eloquent lips, of the enthe South as relates to the Territories, or in any direct manner concerning the institution of slavery. We have compared ideas on that subject. It is entirely on the question of maintaing or disrupting the Union. We are for our country under all circumstances—right or wrong—and before God, would rather starve to death than eat the bread which was purchased at the price of treason. If these sentiments are unpalatable to any of our patrons, we would much rather they would withdraw their support than to place us in the humiliating position of feeling under obligations to them. There are Union men enough in Nevada county to support the Press, and if they approve its course we are satisfied. Several gentlemen from the Columbia Hill neighborhood, it is proper to add, had previously discontinued their papers, because they disrelished its bold Union sentiments. But here are letters alluded to: CoLuMBIA HILL, May Ist, 1861. Editor Hynraulic Press :—FEnclosed you have that $3 50 from Capt. G , for which he wants areceipt. Yours, &c. Levi AYRES.

Election day, although some distance removed, will be upon us in due course of time, and it is proper every man should hold himself im readiness to meet it. The terrible state of affairs which has been precipitated by the attack upon and capture of Fort Sumter, although not entirely unexpected, finds the public in a vacillating, uncertain condition of mind. Politicians are reluctant to depart from old party usages, even when it is evident these cannot longer with safety be maintained. Thecountry requires their sacrifice. Policy can never hold successful controversy with duty. Offices and the desire for office, must give way before the great battle of principle which is to decide whether there is hereafter to be a necessity for such devices—whether we are to have aregularly organized form of government, or an anarchy, in which the evil passions of men are to usurp the place of law and order. Let this question be first decided. The issue has been made; there is no avoiding it; and he will deserve most who goes farthest in freeing himself from party trammels and arraying himself under the banner of the Union and the Constitution. Unwilling as some may be to confess it, there are now no parties but friends and foes to the country. One of these must conquer, and the other fall. God give the victory to the right ! At the next electicn the Governor’s and all the Union man with an 7f or a proviso—not one who uses sophistry in defining his status, or who affects to take by-gone statesmen as models of his Democracy or Whiggery, or Republicanism—but one who, in his heart of hearts has sworn,—who by his daily course has acted out, and by his open vows has given assurance of, love, loyalty and devotion to his country, his whole country and his country only. It is well known that one of our late Congressmen is an avowed secessionist, and the other Jishy on this question ; and it is asserted that at least five of the present State officers have affinities for the Southern Confederacy. These men must be swept from place. Though their past official record may be blameless, and their personal characters immaculate as new-fallen snow, they cannot be trusted. They who are not for us are against us. This must be so. While a fratricidal strife is going on, men who are worthy to be called by that name, cannot remain neutral in feeling. They are for the Northern Union or the Southern Confederacy. If for the first, they would not be afraid openly to declare it; but if for the second, subterfuge and evasion must ne cessarily be resorted to, in order to conceal the true sentiments of their false hearts. Away with all such, say we!—away with them, to the Tarpean rock of public degradation !—they must not be trusted in managing a Government of the free ! SO 2 8 From Cherokee. The following communication was intended for last week’s paper, but was received too late for publication. To the Editor of the Press :—I noticed in your issue of the 20th April, an account of the “Last Hope” company, which is engaged sinking a shaft at this place, for the purpose of testing the richness of the Basin, in which your informant states that the wealthiest citizens of this place are those who contribute the least towards patronising the enterprise. I wish to correct your informant in that respect, for I know that all our wealthiest citizens, with one exception, have been exceedingly liberal towards rendering all the ass‘stance required to enable the workmen to go to the bed rock ; and, furthermore, they are ready to give any aid hereafter which may be deemed necessary for the completion of the enterprise. For what reason your informant should include ALL of our wealthiest citizens, simply because there was one among the many who looked at the almighty dollar as lost if invested in the enterprise, I cannot imagine; but I feel assured that the project can and will be completed without his assistance. The shaft is steadily going down, with flattering prospects ahead, and the company will get all the assistance which they may require. Yours, etc. SPONDULIX. larged liberty he was permitted to enjoy under the most perfect form of Government ever devised by the wisdom of man; is it possible, we say, that one such man lives, who does not, in bitterness and anguish of spirit deplore the evil times upon which we have fallen? Istherea soul so dead to all the nobler impulses of a generous nature, as to exult over the scenes of bloodshed now being enacted, and who would attempt to excuse the conduct of the aggressors}! Why should the Southern mando so? Was he less respected under the Union than the man from the North? Was a full portion of the common heritage of glory denied to him or his children? Did he not share the offices, the trusts, the honors of the General Government? Did it not share its bounties with his kindred, and extend the «gis of its protection to their hearthstones? Why should he, more than any one else, denounce and renounce it ? That is a sickly patriotism, a malevolent affection, which narrows itself within State limits, and spurns the higher allegiance due to the National Constitution and laws. To be born under the flag of a country, is, morally, to be committed to an allegiance which no volition can honorably absolve. Treason alone cancels the obligation ot obeying, respecting, and defending its mandates; and treason! who is ambitious of the brand! Let us hope, no man. Let us in charity, suppose the denunciations bestowed upon that country and its laws, to arise from weakness of intellect, ignorance of its history, ora profoundness of depravity which renders the utterer more an object of pity than contempt. pact ie acme nti Won’t ANSWER.—We observe a written notice tacked on the bulletin-board of the post office, calling a meeting for the formation of a Douglas Union Club. How many kinds of Union clubs are we to have? Ifthe politicians are determined to be heard as a distinctive class in this matter, so that the offices may not slip from their grasp, let them “‘sort themselves,” and the people will make themselves heard. This whole club question was commenced wrong. A Club we ought to, and musthave, and inasmuch as criminations and recriminaticns are heard as to the manner of proceeding thus far, we suggest that some one whu feels interested, shall carry around a paper and procure signatures for the call of a mass meeting to forma Club for the defence, support and maintenance of the American Union—its flag, its laws and its Constitution—against the plottings of secret enemies within the State, and open traitors without. Such a Club we and hundreds of others could join, who regard with scorn and contempt any and every effort made to give so serious a matter a filthy Y party bias. meee {(=Frank Washington, Collector of the port of San Francisco, has issued his usual annual manifesto, in which he takes sides, of course, against the Government he is sworn to uphold, by endeavoring to excuse the traitorous proceedings of the Southern Confederacy. There was an old fogy once, called the ‘Father of his Country,” whose famishing soldiers left bloody foot-prints on the snows at Valley Forge—he Las left on record a document called a “Farewell Address,” which it would be well for the Collector te real and ponder over. The name which he boasts will henceforth be remembered in connection with that of the great Washington as was that of Erastratus with the magnificent Ephesian Temple which he fired—as an incendiary, who lacked the genius to construct, but possessed a malignant ambition to destroy. acetate War AN Evit.—The secessionist papers, without exception, deprecate the existence of a war between the North and South, and yet, with the same unanimity secretly approve of, and sophistically seek to justify South Carolina in her attack upon Fort Sumter. They condemn a war which would strike down the seceding States, but could smile to see a secession army pierce to the very metropolis of the Union, and possess its capitol. Oh, no! it will not do for the Government to “‘ coerce”’—only the Southern Confederacy is permitted to practice that measure! To defend, is ‘‘ coercion” on the part of the former, but to assailis defense so far as the seceded States are concerned ! SER cates Omen one PLENTY OF OFFICERS.—A Montgomery (Ala.) paper says there are no less than fifty thousand applications for military rank on file in the War Department of the Southern Confederacy! Them seceding chaps are “jolly” on posish. igte.: Mr. LATHAM.—We were never a particular admirer of this gentleman’s political course until he pledged California in the United States Senate for the Union. He has our voice now. The patriotic sentiments of that occasion were repeated Tuesday night in a speech to the Sacramentans, who gave him a public reception on his arrival in that city from the Bay. ROPE RG PTL SESE ae How AssvurD.—Is it not the very quintessence of absurdity to witness the efforts of leading committee-men and party wire-workers to rally the people on the old and defunct lines of party, when the country is calling aloud for her children to array themselves under her insulted banner. The office-holders are mainly at the head of these movements; but their doom is sealed, unless they define themselves immediately in favor of the Union. SORTS VETS nee Goop From EviL.—<Advices have been received from the Atlantic side, stating there was danger of the Pacific steamers being stopped on the high seas and robbed of their treasure by piratical ves. sels sailing under the flag of the Southern Confederacy. The insurance offices have refused to issue policies, which has reduced the semimonthly shipments of dust to a mere fraction in comparison with what they were formerly. This is one good result for California. When her gold cannot be shipped out of the State with safety, it will be compelled to seek investment in it. sscscumen-o-ensrvrtesnsats im simmer meet ec iE EAL ECE LE ATCase nansenecatnsentretancaeiinie, eininiabeaitaiiamensiettcesaiittaatscsidi tennis iciaanaicimmiisisis, ee ee ner ee Coneressmen.—A bill has gone through the Assembly, and will most likely pass the . Senate, calling a special election of Congressmen, to take place on the third Tuesday of June, with a view to having California represented in the extra session which has been summond by the President to assemble on the Fourth of July. Should this bill prevail, our townspeople will see the necessity for a Union Club in which all parties can meet, to choose delegates to a county . Union Convention, which, in turn, will elect delegates to a Union State Convention to nominate sterling Union men to these Congressional positions. No other party will have a “living show” in the race. It will be Union against disunion, patriotism against treason—and the triumph which awaits the cause of the country, we are certain will be so overwhelming as to silence the disaffected amongst us at once and forever. —_———_—_——_-@ o-—_____._ Union EntTHusIASM.—The collision of the ‘palm against the pine,” has thoroughly aroused the patriotism of the “loyal North.” Thousands and tens of thousands of volunteers, from every town and city of the free States, are rallying at the call of the President, to sustain the honor of their country’s flag, and repel the invasion of the rebel armies. The second blood of the civil contest has been shed in the streets of Baltimore. Massachusetts furnished the first victims, as she did in the streets of Charleston at the opening of the Revolutionary war. Maryland is the only Southern State that manifests the least sympathy for the cause of the Union, and even there it is doubtful whether the unequal strife can be maintained for any considerable length of time. Gov. Hicks shows some dispositiou to waver from his Union sentiments as but recently announced. BARRE eae oe a aera eu in ete No Day Frixrep.—An attempt was made by the Assembly to induce the Senate to agree toa resolution of adjournment which fixed the 13th of May as the time for that event; but the Senate, it is said, will neither consent to adjourn nor do hard labor. The Governor has already signed upwards of two hundred and fifty laws! Think of that, for one session. At this rate, in ten years more, the State will be required to build an immense library room to contain simply its statutes. 3 Pay Eres An Appeal to my Countrymen. The crisis has come, and we are either for the Union or against it. If we are Union men, we will all join the patriotic Club that was formed in this place last Saturday evening. If we are secessionists, it can’t be expected of us. Therefore every one will be branded as a traitor if he don’t bind himself to support the Union and the Constitution. I understand there are some among us here who are endeavoring to deceive you as to the effect these Clubs will have generally—that they will cause more hard feeling than any thing else; but, fellow-countrymen, have I created any hard feeling by joining the Union Club? Nonsense. Are we not bound by a sacred oath to support the Union and Constitution of the United States of America? We know of only one Constitution, and that we have sworn to live by and defend. Therefore, my fellowcountrymen, pay no need to trzit~rous teachings, but rally around the stars and stripes, and show to the world, and especially to traitors, that the same blood flows in our veins that coursed through those of our forefathers during the eight hundred years they fought for their homes and liberty on the Isle of Great Britain.

Among the speakers was Col. James Collins, who served in one of the Illinois regiments during the Mexican war, and on his return home was voted a sword by the Legislature for his bravery. We are informed by a gentleman who was present, that his remarks were eloquent and eminently patriotic. He, in common with all who were present, felt and expressed the determination to stand by the President in enforcing the laws and suppressing rebellion. This is the true spirit to be manifested, and there is little doubt but it finds an echo in the hearts of seven-tenths of the patriots of California, without reference to party.

Old-linc Whigs, Democrats, Breckinridge men, and all others who choose, are now eligible to join the Club and take part in its proceedings.

The Irish, the Germans, and the Jews, as distinctive nationalities, are offering their services in the ranks. In this State, there is no doubt but our adopted citizens can be equally relied on. MovunTAIN TRAVEL.—See the advertisement of Mr. J. A. Reticker, in to-day’s paper. CHEEK BY JowL.—The abolitionists and secessionists are the only two parties in the United States who favor a destruction of the Government. The latter are up in arms against it, while the former chuckle and dance to the music of their cannon. Here is “affinity” for you, with a vengeance ! ! PR ae Sea i PENNSYLVANIA.—This is the Commonwealth of our nativity, and we are proud to see the front rank she is taking in the noble effort to preserve the Union. We have, perhaps, as much State pride as any Southern man dare have, but we declare openly and freely, that had she faltered one moment in the great Union cause, we would have plucked her from our heart as we would a poisonous weed from our garden. Thank God, we can rise above all such narrow patriotism as belongs to State lines and State affections. The flag of the country is ours—hallowed in its associations and consecrated by the blood of Revolutionary patriots! a A Fisuy THEFT.—Some scamp entered the Bank Exchange stealthily on Monday evening and stole from behind the side-counter a—sack of fresh oysters! They had only been delivered a few moments before from one of the down-country coaches. Srrvek its Corors.—In the details of the pony news we see it stated that the New Orleans True Delta newspaper, after standing up manfully from the beginning against secession, has struck its colors and gone into the fold of the enemy. One of our California editors had so much confidence in the fidelity of the True Delta, that he suggested the propriety of circulating a subscription paper for its benefit. It is to be hoped now, that no movement has been made in the matter. ee peerenriegenicnononen other State offices will be to fill, two, and perhaps three Congressmen to choose, in addition to the choice of members of the Legislature. It is time for the people to look about them for competent men to occupy these positions. There should be but one test—“Is HE A UNION MAN?” Nota ee ee PATRONAGE WITHDRAWN. The communications which we give below were received through the post-office Thursday morning, enclosed in separate envelopes, but done np in one common parcel. We withhold the names of the signers, from the fact that we invited and still continue to invite, a withdrawal of all patronage extended by those who are in favor of disrupting the Union, and because each and all . of the persons alluded tov, have heretofore been . filled; . . atom atson ann ee sei epeceoees pirintccgiancenranaintonegertoet eases Ss‘ Alas: Poor Country !” Is it possible there lives an American citizen who has voted at the ballot-box ; who has gloried in the long list of Revolutionary names ; who has read of that Revolution’s battles, of the country’s more recent naval exploits ; who has seen the dignity of its flag respected in foreign climes ; who has beheld its offices filled by statesmen from the North and the South, and ably who has listened to the soul-thrilling recognised by us as worthy gentlemen and good . tones of Henry Clay’s voice; who has perused citizens. We publish these notes simply to . the patriotic pages of Webster’s Constitutional show that there is such a thing as a secession arguments ; who has heard the thunder-awakenelement in this county. The offence which we . ing belches of heavy cannon on the mornings of . have given to these men, does not arise from < any . . the Fourth of July; who has been reminded in difference of opinion with regard to the rights of . thrilling strains from eloquent lips, of the enthe South as relates to the Territories, or in any direct manner concerning the institution of slavery. We have compared ideas on that subject. It is entirely on the question of maintaing or disrupting the Union. We are for our country under all circumstances—right or wrong—and before God, would rather starve to death than eat the bread which was purchased at the price of treason. If these sentiments are unpalatable to any of our patrons, we would much rather they would withdraw their support than to place us in the humiliating position of feeling under obligations to them. There are Union men enough in Nevada county to support the Press, and if they approve its course we are satisfied. Several gentlemen from the Columbia Hill neighborhood, it is proper to add, had previously discontinued their papers, because they disrelished its bold Union sentiments. But here are letters alluded to: CoLuMBIA HILL, May Ist, 1861. Editor Hynraulic Press :—FEnclosed you have that $3 50 from Capt. G , for which he wants areceipt. Yours, &c. Levi AYRES.

Election day, although some distance removed, will be upon us in due course of time, and it is proper every man should hold himself im readiness to meet it. The terrible state of affairs which has been precipitated by the attack upon and capture of Fort Sumter, although not entirely unexpected, finds the public in a vacillating, uncertain condition of mind. Politicians are reluctant to depart from old party usages, even when it is evident these cannot longer with safety be maintained. Thecountry requires their sacrifice. Policy can never hold successful controversy with duty. Offices and the desire for office, must give way before the great battle of principle which is to decide whether there is hereafter to be a necessity for such devices—whether we are to have aregularly organized form of government, or an anarchy, in which the evil passions of men are to usurp the place of law and order. Let this question be first decided. The issue has been made; there is no avoiding it; and he will deserve most who goes farthest in freeing himself from party trammels and arraying himself under the banner of the Union and the Constitution. Unwilling as some may be to confess it, there are now no parties but friends and foes to the country. One of these must conquer, and the other fall. God give the victory to the right ! At the next electicn the Governor’s and all the Union man with an 7f or a proviso—not one who uses sophistry in defining his status, or who affects to take by-gone statesmen as models of his Democracy or Whiggery, or Republicanism—but one who, in his heart of hearts has sworn,—who by his daily course has acted out, and by his open vows has given assurance of, love, loyalty and devotion to his country, his whole country and his country only. It is well known that one of our late Congressmen is an avowed secessionist, and the other Jishy on this question ; and it is asserted that at least five of the present State officers have affinities for the Southern Confederacy. These men must be swept from place. Though their past official record may be blameless, and their personal characters immaculate as new-fallen snow, they cannot be trusted. They who are not for us are against us. This must be so. While a fratricidal strife is going on, men who are worthy to be called by that name, cannot remain neutral in feeling. They are for the Northern Union or the Southern Confederacy. If for the first, they would not be afraid openly to declare it; but if for the second, subterfuge and evasion must ne cessarily be resorted to, in order to conceal the true sentiments of their false hearts. Away with all such, say we!—away with them, to the Tarpean rock of public degradation !—they must not be trusted in managing a Government of the free ! SO 2 8 From Cherokee. The following communication was intended for last week’s paper, but was received too late for publication. To the Editor of the Press :—I noticed in your issue of the 20th April, an account of the “Last Hope” company, which is engaged sinking a shaft at this place, for the purpose of testing the richness of the Basin, in which your informant states that the wealthiest citizens of this place are those who contribute the least towards patronising the enterprise. I wish to correct your informant in that respect, for I know that all our wealthiest citizens, with one exception, have been exceedingly liberal towards rendering all the ass‘stance required to enable the workmen to go to the bed rock ; and, furthermore, they are ready to give any aid hereafter which may be deemed necessary for the completion of the enterprise. For what reason your informant should include ALL of our wealthiest citizens, simply because there was one among the many who looked at the almighty dollar as lost if invested in the enterprise, I cannot imagine; but I feel assured that the project can and will be completed without his assistance. The shaft is steadily going down, with flattering prospects ahead, and the company will get all the assistance which they may require. Yours, etc. SPONDULIX. larged liberty he was permitted to enjoy under the most perfect form of Government ever devised by the wisdom of man; is it possible, we say, that one such man lives, who does not, in bitterness and anguish of spirit deplore the evil times upon which we have fallen? Istherea soul so dead to all the nobler impulses of a generous nature, as to exult over the scenes of bloodshed now being enacted, and who would attempt to excuse the conduct of the aggressors}! Why should the Southern mando so? Was he less respected under the Union than the man from the North? Was a full portion of the common heritage of glory denied to him or his children? Did he not share the offices, the trusts, the honors of the General Government? Did it not share its bounties with his kindred, and extend the «gis of its protection to their hearthstones? Why should he, more than any one else, denounce and renounce it ? That is a sickly patriotism, a malevolent affection, which narrows itself within State limits, and spurns the higher allegiance due to the National Constitution and laws. To be born under the flag of a country, is, morally, to be committed to an allegiance which no volition can honorably absolve. Treason alone cancels the obligation ot obeying, respecting, and defending its mandates; and treason! who is ambitious of the brand! Let us hope, no man. Let us in charity, suppose the denunciations bestowed upon that country and its laws, to arise from weakness of intellect, ignorance of its history, ora profoundness of depravity which renders the utterer more an object of pity than contempt. pact ie acme nti Won’t ANSWER.—We observe a written notice tacked on the bulletin-board of the post office, calling a meeting for the formation of a Douglas Union Club. How many kinds of Union clubs are we to have? Ifthe politicians are determined to be heard as a distinctive class in this matter, so that the offices may not slip from their grasp, let them “‘sort themselves,” and the people will make themselves heard. This whole club question was commenced wrong. A Club we ought to, and musthave, and inasmuch as criminations and recriminaticns are heard as to the manner of proceeding thus far, we suggest that some one whu feels interested, shall carry around a paper and procure signatures for the call of a mass meeting to forma Club for the defence, support and maintenance of the American Union—its flag, its laws and its Constitution—against the plottings of secret enemies within the State, and open traitors without. Such a Club we and hundreds of others could join, who regard with scorn and contempt any and every effort made to give so serious a matter a filthy Y party bias. meee {(=Frank Washington, Collector of the port of San Francisco, has issued his usual annual manifesto, in which he takes sides, of course, against the Government he is sworn to uphold, by endeavoring to excuse the traitorous proceedings of the Southern Confederacy. There was an old fogy once, called the ‘Father of his Country,” whose famishing soldiers left bloody foot-prints on the snows at Valley Forge—he Las left on record a document called a “Farewell Address,” which it would be well for the Collector te real and ponder over. The name which he boasts will henceforth be remembered in connection with that of the great Washington as was that of Erastratus with the magnificent Ephesian Temple which he fired—as an incendiary, who lacked the genius to construct, but possessed a malignant ambition to destroy. acetate War AN Evit.—The secessionist papers, without exception, deprecate the existence of a war between the North and South, and yet, with the same unanimity secretly approve of, and sophistically seek to justify South Carolina in her attack upon Fort Sumter. They condemn a war which would strike down the seceding States, but could smile to see a secession army pierce to the very metropolis of the Union, and possess its capitol. Oh, no! it will not do for the Government to “‘ coerce”’—only the Southern Confederacy is permitted to practice that measure! To defend, is ‘‘ coercion” on the part of the former, but to assailis defense so far as the seceded States are concerned ! SER cates Omen one PLENTY OF OFFICERS.—A Montgomery (Ala.) paper says there are no less than fifty thousand applications for military rank on file in the War Department of the Southern Confederacy! Them seceding chaps are “jolly” on posish. igte.: Mr. LATHAM.—We were never a particular admirer of this gentleman’s political course until he pledged California in the United States Senate for the Union. He has our voice now. The patriotic sentiments of that occasion were repeated Tuesday night in a speech to the Sacramentans, who gave him a public reception on his arrival in that city from the Bay.

How AssvurD.—Is it not the very quintessence of absurdity to witness the efforts of leading committee-men and party wire-workers to rally the people on the old and defunct lines of party, when the country is calling aloud for her children to array themselves under her insulted banner. The office-holders are mainly at the head of these movements; but their doom is sealed, unless they define themselves immediately in favor of the Union. SORTS VETS nee Goop From EviL.—<Advices have been received from the Atlantic side, stating there was danger of the Pacific steamers being stopped on the high seas and robbed of their treasure by piratical ves. sels sailing under the flag of the Southern Confederacy. The insurance offices have refused to issue policies, which has reduced the semimonthly shipments of dust to a mere fraction in comparison with what they were formerly. This is one good result for California. When her gold cannot be shipped out of the State with safety, it will be compelled to seek investment in it. sscscumen-o-ensrvrtesnsats im simmer meet ec iE EAL ECE LE ATCase nansenecatnsentretancaeiinie, eininiabeaitaiiamensiettcesaiittaatscsidi tennis iciaanaicimmiisisis, ee ee ner ee Coneressmen.—A bill has gone through the Assembly, and will most likely pass the . Senate, calling a special election of Congressmen, to take place on the third Tuesday of June, with a view to having California represented in the extra session which has been summond by the President to assemble on the Fourth of July. Should this bill prevail, our townspeople will see the necessity for a Union Club in which all parties can meet, to choose delegates to a county . Union Convention, which, in turn, will elect delegates to a Union State Convention to nominate sterling Union men to these Congressional positions. No other party will have a “living show” in the race. It will be Union against disunion, patriotism against treason—and the triumph which awaits the cause of the country, we are certain will be so overwhelming as to silence the disaffected amongst us at once and forever. —_———_—_——_-@ o-—_____._ Union EntTHusIASM.—The collision of the ‘palm against the pine,” has thoroughly aroused the patriotism of the “loyal North.” Thousands and tens of thousands of volunteers, from every town and city of the free States, are rallying at the call of the President, to sustain the honor of their country’s flag, and repel the invasion of the rebel armies. The second blood of the civil contest has been shed in the streets of Baltimore. Massachusetts furnished the first victims, as she did in the streets of Charleston at the opening of the Revolutionary war. Maryland is the only Southern State that manifests the least sympathy for the cause of the Union, and even there it is doubtful whether the unequal strife can be maintained for any considerable length of time. Gov. Hicks shows some dispositiou to waver from his Union sentiments as but recently announced. BARRE eae oe a aera eu in ete No Day Frixrep.—An attempt was made by the Assembly to induce the Senate to agree toa resolution of adjournment which fixed the 13th of May as the time for that event; but the Senate, it is said, will neither consent to adjourn nor do hard labor. The Governor has already signed upwards of two hundred and fifty laws! Think of that, for one session. At this rate, in ten years more, the State will be required to build an immense library room to contain simply its statutes. 3 Pay Eres An Appeal to my Countrymen. The crisis has come, and we are either for the Union or against it. If we are Union men, we will all join the patriotic Club that was formed in this place last Saturday evening. If we are secessionists, it can’t be expected of us. Therefore every one will be branded as a traitor if he don’t bind himself to support the Union and the Constitution. I understand there are some among us here who are endeavoring to deceive you as to the effect these Clubs will have generally—that they will cause more hard feeling than any thing else; but, fellow-countrymen, have I created any hard feeling by joining the Union Club? Nonsense. Are we not bound by a sacred oath to support the Union and Constitution of the United States of America? We know of only one Constitution, and that we have sworn to live by and defend. Therefore, my fellowcountrymen, pay no need to trzit~rous teachings, but rally around the stars and stripes, and show to the world, and especially to traitors, that the same blood flows in our veins that coursed through those of our forefathers during the eight hundred years they fought for their homes and liberty on the Isle of Great Britain.
