and.defeat the project of concentrating the Union sentiment of California. The officewoekers seo less prospect of providing for ¥ ~ ‘themselves, in a great and harmonious Union tions. Yesterday's Marysville Appeal, which paper, although a Republican organ, pas in‘dustrioudly labored to promote the union of all Union’men, irrespective of party, gives up the projéectas hopeless, and urges the Republicans, since the Douglas Democrats have ‘shut their-doors against them, to remain true: ‘to their party organization. There appears ito be a dread, on the part of many friends of the Ynion, that the attempt to getup a pure Union party, while the old’ organizations are alive and active, would ouly have the effect of still more distracting and weakening the Union sentiment of the state than it already is. It is hard to say how matters miay look, after the Breckinridgers, Repubhcans, and Douglasites fiave held their State Conven‘tions; but, at the present moment, it grieves us to say, that the probabilities ofa pure Un_ jiom party in California are preciously few. Appropos to this subject, we have just read, in the Appeal, a brief, butjapparently faithful and coniprehensive, report of a Un. ion-speech, delivered by Gen, Shields, in Marysville, on Tuesday evening. The patriotic : t ee ee ee eee ‘dent Moulder, the Colifornia Steam Naviganecessity for creating an exclusive Union party, as, in his opinion, there is no secession party in the state ; and, of course, whatever party may win at the next election, its ticket is eure to be of the true Union stripe. This idea of Gen. Shields, in which it would give ‘us much pleasure to be a believer, seems not to be the prevalent one in Marysville. Mr. DeLong, State Senator of Yuba county, followed the apeech of Gen. Shields, in obedience to a call of the audience, and took exeeptions to the notion that there are no. seoessionists in California. Heasserted his belief, formed ‘by facts that had fallen under his ‘own. personal observation, that the secession element is neither dead vor dormant, it the state, butis sufficiently active and pervading to render it worthy of close watching by. the Unionists. Senator DeLong; we are fearful; is nearer fightin thie matter than General = ~-@hields.

Wonld it not be funny, with the Star-spangled Banner everywhere floating in the breeze, from San Diego to Siskiyou, to see California fall into the lidnds of downright secessionits, at the coming election ! Stranger things have happened.
