BRIDAY, JULY 26th, 1861. TH POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. ; —_—e Six weeks, lacking two days, intervene between this present moment and the Fourth _of September, the diy of election, and— though we heartily dislike being hurried in well over. What a clangor of stump speeches, what & distillation of editorial galt and bitterness, what shouts of defiance and boasts of expected triumphs, will vex the general peace, ere the’ hurly-burly can be hushed in the sleep of the,ballot-box. Already the candidates of two of the parties ‘are on the wing, to hurl the thunder-bolts off political truth into the faces of an astonished public, and the candidates of the third party will soon follow. Already the partisan editors aremixing their ink. with aqua fortis and staining the unconscious foolscap with words of fire.to scorch the souls of fearful adversaries. We shall have terrible times before the calends of September are reached. There are three parties in California, now fully organized and in the field, and but one issue, Really and truly, there is but one is‘sue, however politicians strut and vapor; and that issue is ‘“‘ WAR, oR NO WaR?” The only question of national import which has exercised the minds of the people of California, and which still exercises’ them, is— Shall the Secession of the Southern States from the Union be peacefully »permitted or forcibly prevented?” In short— ‘Ig the war, now waged by Congress and the National Executive in defense of the Union and against its enemies, constitutional or uaconstitutional—legal or illegal—righteous or unrighteous?” The advocates of the war policy, through the dexterity of certain patriots, who seem to think that the salvation of the country depends. more on their holding the best offices than on anything else, have become widely sundered under the opposing flags of Republicanism and Union Democracy. Instead of acting in convert, they are tearing each other to pieces, metaphorically, in despérate efforts to prove that there are really some grounde of difference between them, enough to furnish them with of excuse for quarreling. The opponents of the war policy have just organized and are in the field, rampant for ‘® fight to show their love for peace. Their platform and their. ticket are before the world, and they will make a gallant straggle in support of both. They boldly avow themselves in favor of the doctrine that it is better to tolerate Secession than attempt to hold the Union intact by force. Of what-ever else they may be accused, they are certainly not guilty of disguise and subterfuge. They denounce the National Executive and Congress, in unequivocal and emphatic terms, for resisting the.Southern Disunionists, and plainly intimate that, were they inpower, the independence of the Cotton Confederacy should have their unreserved sanction. ~ Thus stand the three parties, in Califurnia, who are about to din our ears for the next six weeks, in a noisy gteeple-chase for power and spoils. As but one of them can win, it is evident that the other two must go to the * wall. Which will be the winner, which the losers? ia » problem which the Fourth of September will solve.

Wellington at last became so exasperated by their lawless conduct, that he had the regiment paraded for the purpose ot striking them with terror by having every tenth man shot. Before giving such .an order, hiowever, he wished to state his reasons for it, and began to address the regiment thus: “‘Youare thieves, robbers, cut-throats, vagabonds—everything but cowards !” This compliment to their courage, although at the expense of: every other virtue, so pleased the regiment that they at once gave three cheers with such a burst of enthusiasm as quite overwhelmed the Iren Duke, and looking at them a moment in silence he turned his horse and rode away without saying a word.

It is conceded that the counties north of Sacramento have.by far the finest stock in the State, and we hope that the stock raisers will, as heretofore, make it a point to exhibit their animals, and thereby create a generous rivalry and encourage the breeding of fine stock tor which our State is becoming so juetly famous. The oration will be delivered by Rev. T. Starr King. JOKE ON A MINISTER.—A young fellow was taking a sleighride with a pretty girl when he met a Methodist minister who was somewhat celebrated for tying the knot matrimonial at short notice. He stopped him and asked hurriedly: “Can you tie a knot forme?” “Yes,” said Brother B—, “I guess so: when do oou want it done?” ‘Well, right away was the reply; is it lawful, though, here in the highway?” asked the wag. “O, yes; thisis us good a place as any—as sefe as the church itself.” Well, then, I want a knot tied in my horse’s tail, to keep it out-of: the snow !” shouted the wicked wag, as he droverapidly uway, fearin lest the minister, in his profune wrath, shoul fall from grace. * ——— means of preventing the absconding ofa swarm, besides the forming of Ariana Goto nies, is found in drumming out the first and the second swarms at the propér period.

Its mute eloquence is unheeded by the insane people of that deluded city. One side contains the words of Jackson, uttered in the hour of his greatest triumph : . “The Federal Union; it ‘must and shall be preserved.” When the infuriated rebels were perldrming their orgies ut the burial of the United States flag, a party from the crowd rushed to the square, determined to . deface the monument by the erasure of that sublime sentiment. A few. unarmed Union men surrounded the statue, aiid-declared that such an act of vandalism could not be perpetrated without passing over tacir dead bodies. The mob retreated, for they felt the imperious voice of him, whe “being ded, yet speaketh. That statue has more patria‘ ism in it than all the citizens of Memphis ever felt, and these words tnust stir up the consciences of all: who are not morally dead.

Its mute eloquence is unheeded by the insane people of that deluded city. One side contains the words of Jackson, uttered in the hour of his greatest triumph : . “The Federal Union; it ‘must and shall be preserved.” When the infuriated rebels were perldrming their orgies ut the burial of the United States flag, a party from the crowd rushed to the square, determined to . deface the monument by the erasure of that sublime sentiment. A few. unarmed Union men surrounded the statue, aiid-declared that such an act of vandalism could not be perpetrated without passing over tacir dead bodies. The mob retreated, for they felt the imperious voice of him, whe “being ded, yet speaketh. That statue has more patria‘ ism in it than all the citizens of Memphis ever felt, and these words tnust stir up the consciences of all: who are not morally dead.
