OROVILLE, SATURDAY. FEB. 6.
For President, in 1864.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
ANDREW JOHNSON, of Tran.
(£%'**;«■■t to i'. r • I>v a of the National Union
Convention.)
The Presidency.
With many people, who have eo well
grounded faith of their own in anythin?, the
arguments and epithets of opponents against
certain men of their party always carry undue
weight, and often render them really blind to
many perfections in their great lealers which
they would otherwise see very readily. Having
no positivcnc-ss in their natures—being natur
ally weak ar.d vacillating—their feelings and
sentiments fluctuate like the produce market
under the operations of speculators. While,
judging from the Une of the newspaper press
of the country, and the expression of legislative
bodies, our present Chief Magistrate is the
choice of a large maj rity of the people of the
loyal States for President at the coming elec
tion, there is a “mail minority of Union men
who are u little cautious iu their expression of
choice, and a-k with gnat anxiety ' whal wi.l
be done with the claims of other candidates
who ore every way as worthy?” This, with
them serious question, is very easily answered
by the thoughtful, well balanced mind. When
oar first Chief Magistrate, the Father of his
Country, was unanimously chosen for a second
term of office, were there not other illustrious
and worthy men who might have been chosen
Jefferson, Adams, Madison, and ethers?
But it was deemed best that he who had safely
taken our noble ship through the breakers and
fairly placed her upon the broad and placid
oceuu of National life should still remain at the
helm nntil the precious ark of cor liberties was
beyond the possibility of being hurled back
ujion the rocks and shoals only just passed.
We are in a similarly critical position at the
present time. Under the wise and patriotic
administration of President Lincoln, the Union
formed by our fathers —for the destruction of
which such desperate and g gantic efforts have
been made by the rebellious slaveholders—may
be safely said to be preserved from present
peril; though the terrible waves which threat
cued to overwhelm it have been scarcely passed.
Is it judicious to remove the man at the hdm—
be who is familiar with ail the dangers which
lie in the path of the ship of State, and has the
courage and firmness to meet them, and the
acquired knowledge of measures necessary to
ensure safety from the threatened perils? We
believe it is the w ill of the loyal people that
our noble helmsman • m/1 not ie removal: but,
on the contrary, that he shall remain at bis
post until bis vessel shall have reached the
blessed haven of peace upon the established
basis of Union and Liberty—a sheltered bar
bor, where no waves of secession can ever reach.
And, when the historian's page shall be
scanned by future generations, they will find
the name of Abraham Lincoln recorded as the
second Father of his Country—the man or
daiued by Providence to shape and direct
the policy by which the Union given us by
Washington and his compatriots was preserved
and perpetuated to bless the millions of freemen
to whom it was vouchsafed as an inheritance.
We publish in this connection the following
extract from an able and timely editorial in the
tjuincy Union, on this subject :
Politicians have had the sway, but now the
people in their majority have dispensed for a
time with these who .-are for noth , g but . Dice
and plunder. The exigencies of the times de
mand plain speech, lor the world is moving,
ami moving the right direction. The scales of
error drop from the eyes; conservatism is in ;
war an error, and this is a truth that appeals
directly to the great heart, as certain and sure
as the lightning's flash
Under onr form of (Tv, rnmont some one
must direct affairs. This coming summer we i
are to elect a successor to President Lincoln
Who shall it be ? Seward is shrewder ; Cl ist
is a better financier. Brant is a better tiencral. j
Kach of these gentlemen have specialities’, but
Lincoln posse.—.s what neither of them has— ,
the absolute confidence, ’he unwavering trust
and affection of the pclet and by a wave of
popular opinion we behove he wi!i be carried
almost without opo. sttieo to the facet“.’toa in
the President! i! chair.
It will ho nothing tn re than poetic justice
that he whose eleeli m was used as an excuse
to rebel shall be re elected and re-elected, until
the devilish doctrine that in our nation the j
majority do ~ i rule shall be laid by. as a priu
cipal too monstrous in its nature, too bloody in 1
its fruits, to ever have even the shadow of 1
success. In It- o. w ■ lab >red for Breckenridge: I
we believed him to be loyal and national. He
has turned a trader. In IbtU. »e shall labor
just as real ms:y for his nomination
we look up.' ■ a- a ceitaimy.) and by so doing
support a man w! lias proved himself to bo a
patriot, ami. every bone and fibre, an honest
man. His re * lection we look upon as a neces
sily. and self resp, cl will not brook the backing
of the thousandth part of an inch from the path
of national rectitude. His election proved the
bane of traitors ; let his re-election prove the
antidote for national integrity and unity.

i For President and Vick President.—
The Union Record, hoists the name of Abra

| son for Vice Rresident. Wc regard the re
election of Mr. Lincoln, as a most wise and
prudent measure. Suddenly raised from the
most humble walks of die to the most exalted
and responsible position in the world, j
his every act has been characterized by that j
wisdom and reflection which stamps hint as
the greatest man of the age. In place of be- '
ing inflated by power and given to hasty, mi- |
advised and stubborn ne'e he has modestly t
kept behind public . p;i:i n, and only acted in |
important measures wh.-i: the masses demanded
action. He has suecc.-—y contended with
greater oostaehs than ever nil to the lot of
any other individual, his sole object being his j
country’s preservation. His j resent admi .is !
trati. a has been one of storms, trials and per

adjustment of our national ilitllcultirs, ami,

and extended to Fait Lake, where a heavy
snow storm ad intense cold are reported.
President Lincoln has ordered a draft of
, 500."00 men, to serve three years or daring the
, war. It is to be made on r,he 10th cf March
. next, crediting therefrom so many as may have
be;>n enlisted or drafted into ike service prior
to the Ist of March, and not heretofore credited.
A Washington dispatch of the Ist says that,
under the call of October for 300,000 men.
about half that number has been filled up by
volunteering and by re-enlistments. The call
now made for half a million is interpreted by
gentlemen who a - -, acquainted with military
affairs to inc'nde the above mentioned call,
being in <fiect a call for an additional 200,(100.
Volunteering is -nr; sed to furnish, at present,
an average of 2.000 me a per day.
The World Las a special dispatch which
says it L rumored iu official circles that we are
upon the eve of a war with France. Seward
is said to have adopted such a coarse toward
the French G.vernmcot. c neeming the Florida
and Rappahannock. a= to elicit a reply from
the French Foreign Minister which will cause
the United States to abandon its pretensions
or go to war to maintain them. It is said
Minister Dayton has been instructed to demand
j of France the retraction of belligerent rights
accorded to the rebels. It is certain that there 1
i is some serious d.faculty with the French
Cabinet, which a’anns all but Seward, who, iu
view of the certainty ul war in Europe, takes ,
the highest possible ground. This may be
nothing more than the World's “ regular ’
sensation.”
The latest news from Knoxville is that Gen
j Sturgis had an engagement at Sevierville, with
Longstreefs cavalry, in which he captured two
1 steel rifled guns and over one hundred prisoners.
The fight lasted a whole day. and the enemy
were pushed hard in their retreat. A recon
nuisanco is said to have disclosed the fact that
Longstrce-t ha? made a hasty retreat and gone
be'yond UanJridge.
A dispatch aciioniices the death of Gov.
Gamble, of Missouri, at St. Louis, on the 31st

It appears by a rebel dispatch that our gun

boats entered the Ruscagoula river ou the 25th,
preparatory to making a descent upon Mobile.
They met with no resistance. This is said to

Gen. Leo has issued an order in w hich ho
says he considers it due to bis army to state
that the temporary reduction of rations is
caused by circumstances beyond his control, j
He hopes exertions which are being made will !
render the necessity ol but short duration. The I
Richmond Examiner, in au editorial on rebel
military operations, -ays : ‘ The duration of the I
war is simply a : : .1 if continued supply
of food fir toe people and the army. Tbe
South can hold out i definitely, if at the elev
enth hour she don’t go mad. Tbe great want
is food and clothing, a; ! it is tbe first duty of
the Government to provide these supplies; and
if they are not provided, the alternative must
be adopted cf resistance w ith smaller armies, j
using the tactics of Fabius—the strategy of I
defense.” This is a fearful confession for a
Richmond paper to make. Discontent is on i
tho increase in North Carolina. The people
|of that State think they ought to be allowed
to leave the Confederato Union in peace, w hich,
being sound rebel doclri;;-., should be cheerfully
acceded to by the Confederates.
A movement of the rebels in the Southwest
i is said to bo ou foot di sign. d for the temporary

A European War.
The advices from Europe cot firm the opia-'
, ion that a general war on that Continent is
1 inevitable. England appears to sustain Pen-1
I mark, and France is inclined to side with the
German Powers. The reasons fur this ore
obvious. By matrimonial alliances, England
is bound to sustain Denmark, regardless of the
wishes of the people. The French Govern
ment is aiming at the conquest of the country
extending to the Rhine, and one of the events
of a European war will undunbtedly be the
addition of Belgium to France. The lan-;
guage t( Belgium is French ; the people have •
French proclivities and French peculiarities.
The country was formerly a portion of France,
1 and the French think they have a right to claim
this territory. But England is interested in
preventing this addition to the dominions of
France. Not only is Leopold of Belgium al
lied to the ruling house of Great Britain, but
the policy of that King is hostile to the preten
sions of the sovereign of France. He is an old
man, who has attained distinction by his dip
lomatic powers. He has been brought in frt
; qoent contact with the Emperor of France,
' and, in the general opinion, has come eff vie-
I tenons. If a war should occur, Belgium is
1 3 i
I likely to be the theater of it. This country is ,
j located northwest of Holland, has the physical
; aspect of an inclined plane, and has immense
i industrial resources. Nearly one fifth of the
| whole surface of the country is occupied by
| forests. The distribution of it, however, is bv
!no means equal. The Luxembourg and the
Namur are densely wooded, but the other por
tions are well cultivated. This country fnr.
nished the battle field of Waterloo, and has
been the battleground of France and Gcr-j
many f*r many years. The war that seems to
be impending in Europe cannot fail to benefit
the democratic interest. The cause of Italy |
is identified with the cause of democracy, and
'he Italian leaders mean to aggrandize democ
racy under tne protection of h ictor Emanuel.
The.spirit of Mazzini is awakened and pervah-»
the elements of convulsion. Again, the dem
ocrats of Prussia are displaying great firmness,
and the Hungarians exhibit a courage that ;
proves they have not been subdued by the
Vienna despotism. The Poles maintain a
gallant struggle. They have identified their
cause with the democracy, and we cannot help :
sympathizing with them, not withstanding our ■
friendship for Russia. Should a general war i
be precipitated, this revolt of Poland w ill se
riously cripple Russia, and prevent that sup
port of Germany w hich would be necessary to
defeat the designs of France.— .Sue. Union.
"Renegade's ", Reply to the Democratic
Press.
Old Bcriuh Brown. in his issue of January 1
251 h, dwells heavily on the remarks in my
communication ns regards a soldier's detv.
The remarks did not apply to the elective
franchise ; but. if they did, it weald be nothing
but right that the Government should use every
vehicle that it commands to keep traits.rs from
the halls of Congress, and from all other posi
tions of inlluecce. pay or emoluments. As for
the said Brown, he may talk about the iron
rule of military despotism with impunity under!
the liberal Adraiuistrati n of Mr. Lincoln, but.
if he had Gem ra! Jackson, that old Democratic
chief he vaunts so loudly, to deal with, he
would have bad a ball and chain long ago, for
aiding and abetting treason. The man who i
ranges himself on the side of the rebellion,
goes into the South at d wields ids or his
sword in behalf of treason, and takes the re
sponsibility upon himsuf. his seme claim to ;
the cot sideratiou of high min led men : but a
miserable wretch, who claims the protection of
a Government that (it- is constantly endeavor
! ing to assassinate and destroy, shows his craven
I nature and forfeits aii claim to any person’s
i consideration. There is nothing so degraded
as a man who repays kindness with ingratitude. I
I would like to see one loyal sentiment that;
i Brown's miserable paper ever contained since I
it came into existence. It contains nothing
bnt misstatements and lies. «nch as would send
him to the Galleys under any other Government
! but ours. But 1 would advise you. Mr. Brown,
to look out. for there is a point at which for
bcarance ceases to be a virtue, and an outraged
people will demand atonement for the wrongs
you do them—for yon may rest assared. Beriah.
that people will tire of having the best and
noblest blood of the land shed like water in
defence' f the Union, while you are using every
endeavor to create discord and destroy the
Government which protects your miserable
carcass, and furnishes you food a. ! rair.mut.
You used me personally in your arti.le to
abuse and belie the Government, and r >w I am
ir service, with i; icsti
being asked.
