Office, No. 36 Commercial $4 @ sitcet.~ —_—__>-—FRIDAY, AUGUST ?4, 1861. % ss ——— B cancers rte cane If we rightly understand the positions and ‘platforms of the. three political parties, which now divide Cahfornia,we are to rogard -the Republicans as the Simonpure friends of the National Administration, who stand by the war policy and all other policy of that Ad* ministration. As, at. this moment, Mr. Lincoln has his hands fally occupied with the war, he has but little time and oppertunity to elaborate or enunciate any administrative views on other subjects. His war policy, as _. developed in. his recent message, and which has met the cordial approbation of Congress, . has nothing of the recondite about it—anybody can understand it. It is simply a fixed de. termination to prosecute the war against the Secessionists of the South ‘until they yield, or until the Secessionists conquer the Fede_-ral Government and triumphantly succeed in dividing-the Union. It has been charged upon Mr. Lincoln’s Administration that, in __waging the war against Secessionism, a Jeading motive is the. abolition of slavery in the South. Though somp sort of: warrant for this charge may be found in the ill-considered and intemperate editorials ef certain Republican journals, Mr. Lincoln, himself, has not, ~ in any official manner, given cause for such an imputation. His message, which is written in-very plain English, looks to no other _ result of the war-than a reconstruction of the Union and a restoration of the nation to the status it occupied before the initiation of Secession movements. There is no evidence that he contemplates anything more. Even wore it a fact that he entertains the designs attributed to him, the army and navy will not become his gents in carrying them out. It is possible that, in thé terrible events of the war, material changes may be prodticed, . in some of the States, in the institution of slavery, but these changes, should they occur, are not necessarily included in the Administration’s programme of the war. The Breckinridge Democracy stands . in direct conflict with Mr. Lineoln’s Adminis. tration; The leaders and exponents of that party denounee the war as unconstitutional and wicked, and insist that it be stopped, though at the expense of-a certain and irreversible dissolution ef the Union. In taking this position they deal in no subterfuges, but, take a square,open, and defiant issue with the National Administration. The National Ad. ministration and its supporters deny the sovereignty of the several States of the Union, deny the right of any State to secede from it, at its option, and assert that it is constitutiona! and obligatory upon the General Government to employ coercion as a preventive of Secession. The Breckinridge Democracy assert the very reverse of these doctrines. The. Douglas or Union Democracy agree with the National Administration in its denial of State sovereignty and the right of Secession, and its assertion of the constitu-’ tionality and rightfulness of employing coercion to prevent a-State from seceding. So fur, this party is identical with the Republican organization, though it claims te be widely distinct from it in one important particular, tu wit: populer sovereignty, or the right of a people of a territory to arrange their domestic institutions to please themselves. As the Republicans, at the last annual ses,sion of Congress, adopted this popular sovereignty doctrine, by the establishment of five territories in accordance with its spirit, this issue, between them and the Union Democracy, appeats to be rather traditional than actual. Such, we conceive, is a true, though brief, exposition of the respective grounds of political: faith and practice upon which these three parties stand. We are not the champion of either, but are anxious that the poptular mind should be amply instructed as, to the principles and purposes of each, so that each may receive the approval or condemnation duo to it from an enlightened pubhe. on thé Overland Mail route, says, under date ‘of July 30th: “ The Overland stages which arrived here Sunday, Monday, and this évening, brought no through mails.

THE PRroposep NATIONAL GUARD.—The bill for the organization of a National Guard, which Senator Wilson has introduced, provides for the enrollment of 240,000 men be.tween 21 and. 35. years old to be devided into. two hundred: regiments, of twelve companies each. apportioned among t tes, pro. rata, according to their representation in Congress. After six years of service, those who enlist are entitled to.an honerable. discharge, and to exemption from service on the jury. Eighty thousand are to be enrol. led the first year, and the same number the. third, so that a third may go out of service at a time. The President is to have the power to call out the guard, or any part of it, in case of invasion, or insurrection beyond the power of the civil arm. f t Tk ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.—The army appropriation bill passed by the House, appropriates about $161,000,000, including for the pay of the army $4,000,000; for three months volunteers, $507,000 ; for three years volunteers, $55,000,000, subsistence in kind for regular troopa, nearly $2,500,000; for subsistence in kind for three years volunteers, $23,034,000; for supplies of the Quartermaster’s Department over $14,000,000, and for incidental expenses thereof, over $7, 500,000; for the purchase of 84,000 dragoon and artillery horses, $10,500,000 ; for transportation of army, etc., over $16,000,000; for gunboats on the Western rivers, $1,000,000 ; for fortifications in New York, Maine, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Califoraia, $645,000.

F-—The Nashville ‘Union and American of the 5th inst. says: The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the State of Georgia, have invited the Southern Grand Lodges to meet in‘Montgomery, Ala., on the first Wednesday in August, for the purpose of dissolving the connection existing between the Southern Lodges and the GrandLodge of the United States, to supreme jurisdiction of Odd Fellowship. fe An Eastern paper correspondent says: Within the limits of the United States there are, to-day, not lesa than 500,000 soldiers in the field ready for battle—300,000 from the loyal States of the North, and 200,000 from the revolted States of the South, arrayed against each other, and within striking distance at various points from the banks of the Potomac westward to the banks of the Mississippi river. Ke Some of our friends, of the Douglas or Union Democracy, seem to think that the regret weexpressed yesterday, in regard to the relations of Mr. Conness with the San Francisco Bulkhead, was a stab at their party which ought not to have been inflicted by a neutral journal. We said, and still suy, that it was unfortunate for Mr. Conness that he gave his vote forthe Bulkhead, tor the reason that the consequences of his vote will follow him beyond the precincts of San Francisce, It is the weak spot im his record on which his enemias hate seized with most active ferocity, and we regret he has not been able to place himself beyond the reach of their _. fury. Perhaps he will do so yet. Ee Two of the 32 pounders at Cairo have been named respectively John ©. Fre‘mont and Parson Brownlow. The former pointing down the Mississippi, bears the inscription: “The right man’ ‘is the’ right place, never speaks unless he has something . to say.” The other, pointing up the Oho, naturally bears, the following: . ‘‘ We'll fight ‘em till h—1 freezes over, and then ladies of San told by a Detroit paper.

Scott's War Programme.—lam able to-assure you that while Gen. Scott has pever, for an instant, varied from his general plan of campaign, he has determined to modify it in some of its details with a view of attaining more effectually his urpose of suppressing the rebellion with the t possible loss of life. He does not now proposeto march upon Richmond at alli—and 80 all the violent demands for the occupation of that capital, daily uttered by. the New York-Tribune, are lost. Gen. Scott will useevery effort to press the rebels backward and southward from Western Virginia, following them until he has swung his own lines around from. the Potomac so as to cut Richmond off from all communication with the Gulf States. This done, he will invest the capital .of the ~ Old Deminion, cut off all_its supplies and . starve it into a surrender, with the whole rebel government, unless Jeff Davis shall take the hint and run away before the Federal army has got him in so tight a place. How does Simonton know that Gen. Scott intends doing all this ?Simonton knows no more about Gen. Scott’s programme of the war than be knows of the geography of Central Australia. If Beauregard should fall back on Richmond, Scott will follew him. . ConvicT LABOR.—Many of the mechanics of San Francisco, with much justice, protest against the competition with their labor recently instituted in the penitentiary. The coopers and manufacturers of agricultural implements are the mechanice now most injured by this competition.
