Marysville Daily Appeal, Volume VIII, Number 20, 24 July 1863 — The Master Race. [ARTICLE]

The Master Race.

Ttfk cardinal principle of the Plantation Democracy is that they inherit a prescript-1 ive right to rule. So long at this right was acknowledged, or so long as they were able by superior canning in the employment of demagogue arts to exercise it, tbey magnanimously allowed the American Republic to go on its way to greatneee. So soon aa it was denied, they conspired to overthrow the Republic. They never associated themselves with any party or movement bat for the purpose of controlling it to their own end*, and failing to do this they invariably bolted and set up for themselves. When they failed to boss the Democracy at Charleston, in 1860, the broke up the Convention and nominated a candidate of their own. When they failed, for the first time, to obtain control of the Government, they rebelled. They kept up a close communion organization in California until the leading men in "the other wing'' put themselves oat of the way by falling io with the Union movement, when they hastened to "unite the Democracy." They controlled the Fusion State Convention. Most of its nominees are men of their sort. None others expressed an opinion on leading questions. The platform was worded so cautiously as not to offend them: tbey were willing to poorly conceal their own disloyalty, but not to express anybody else's loyalty. As they acted in the State Convention, they bare acted in the counties. On all the local tickets they seem to have kept "the master race" in the majority—some times a very large one. The latest instance of this we find in Tehama county. A Douglas Democrat of that district writes to the Beacon—the organ of the party—an indignnnt protest against such selfishness. He was a Union Democrat, believed Buchanan to be a traitorous imbecile, voted for Conness in 1861, and only went into the Democratic fusion because there he expected to find Unionism without Abolition Radicalism, as he himself says. Hear the result of his experience: When the proposition for a fusion was broached, I was in hopos that a fair division of the offices in this county would bo made. But in looking over the names of the candidates, including those made a few days since for Senator and Assemblyman, I find the names of but two Union Democrats among them. A largo number of the rank and file of the Douglas Democracy have joined the so-called Union party, and the course that has been, and is being pursued by those who formerly called themselves Breckinridge and McConnell Democrats, will drive the balance of our forces from us. From a dispatch published in the Han Francisco papers from Yreka, I learn that the same course was pursued in Siskiyou county, but I am rejoiced to learn that some of the first nominations were repudiated, and other men placed in their stead. If this is not done in our county, I very much fear that we will be defeated. A party owned and controlled by men who supported McConnell cannot carry Tehama county. I leave this matter, Mr. Editor, for the Democracy of Tehama county to study over. If they desire the success of the ticket, let the most obnoxious of the candidates be taken off and other men put upon the ticket.

Thia "Douglaa Democrat" ia evidently a Union man, despite bis prejudices, and feels bad to find himself in the company of traitors. One of tbe "obnoxious candidates" he complains of is Wo, H. Rhodes, author of the "Pym" letters, who praised "tbe glorious South" for ita rebellion, and is an undisguised Secessionist. O. E. Fiaher, his competitor for the nomination as Astemblyman, waa a Douglas Democrat who is in favor of whipping the South into submission; and he, as be says himself, waa rejected becauae "tbe delegatea from Colusa [Secessionists] thought be waa not aound." The "maater race" bad it all their own way, there aa elsewhere. They are bound to rule or ruin the party. No wonder "a large number of tbe rank and file of tbe Douglaa Democracy have joined the socalled (and truly called) Union Party;" and the additional remark of tbe Beacon't correapondent is equally true —"tbe course that has been, and is being pursued by those who formerly called themselvea Breckinridge and McConnell Democrats, will drive the balance of" the Union Democrats into the same noble and patriotic organization. More than ever now they must realize tbe truth of their great leader's last words: "Tbere can be but two parties in this contest—only patriots and traitora."

FAIRNESS or EABL RUBSELL. —On several occasions, recently, Lord Rusiell has risen in the English Parliament to answer complaints made by rebel sympathisers in that body concerning alleged outrages by American cruisers. He has inrariably defended our Government, credited it with ability and intelligence, and a sincere purpose to do what is strictly right in naTal and international affairs. On the 18th of June he silenced a captious criticism on the subject of recent seizures of British vessels found running the blockade. He said he was informed by the American Government that there were sufficient grounds to justify the seixures, and that those ground* would be proved before the proper tribunal, namely, an American Prize Court. Earl Russell added that, in the opinion of her Majesty's Government, the blockade maintained by the American fleet was sufficiently efficient to entitle it to be observed, and he thought every allowance ought to be made for any hasty act on the part of the blockading force. He believed there was every desire on the part of the American Government to prevent injustice from being done. The words of Lord Russell are no less honorable to Secretary Seward than to himself. Our foreign affairs were intrusted by Presiden Lincoln to masterly and have been managed during the most difficult period of our history, in a manner which secures for the United States the sympathy, respect and confidence of all the great powers. There could be no higher evidence of thii than that of Earl Russell.

NOMINATIONS IN NEVADA. —The Union men of Nevada county met in Nevada on the 22d instant, and nominated the following excellent ticket: For County Judge, A. C. Niles ; Sheriff, Charles Kent; Clerk, R. H. Farqubar, (the present worthy incumbent;) Treasurer, Gen. James Collies ; District Attorney, T. P. Ilawley ; Recorder, Gerry Morgan; Surveyor, 11.,8. Bradley ; Superintendent Public Instruction, U. S. Deal; Coroner, W. C. Groves ; Public Administrator, D. C. Teeples; Senators, Joseph Kuti, E. W. Roberts ; Assemblymen, W. H. Sears, Seth Martin, J. W. Rule, A. A. Smith. The Transcript say* Hon. A. A. Sargent made an eloquent speech, in which he heartily recommended the ticket tad urged every member of the convention to work herd for itt fuceoM.

Patois AT Rasss RIVRB.— Tbo Reese River Rtitill* gives the following list of prices in the Stores of Austin, and says: It is cordially recommended to the attention of Calilornians who have the satisfaction of almost giving away these same articles: Coffee, green, 72}cts., in papers 75 eta.; black tea, 50; hyson, $2; candles, 50 cts.; soap 50 cts.; whisky $5 to $9; cognac, $10; tobacco $1 per plug; rice 40 cents per pound; dried fruit 40 cents, syrups per gallon, $4; sugar, 37$ to 40 ets.; onions 20 to 50 cts., 3 for fonr bits; potatoes, same; $lO to $2O for empty barrels; $25 for wheelbarrow; setting tire, $1 50; two gads $1 50; pick and shovel $9; stone hammer $9; set augurs $l2 50; stoves $5O to $100; physician's prescriptions $2; each visit $5; lumber $250 to $3OO per M; surveyors showing corner of lot or ground, $l5, and other things "too numerous to mention" in proportion. Californiansl forOod's sake send us over some of your surplus provisions to live on, and some of your waste articles to selll JAPAN. —There is news from Japan to the 14th of May. The Japanese Government refuses entirely the demandaof the English, and the foreigners had been notified to retire to the ships in the harbor. It is evident that a war will result from the obstinacy of the Princes, who detest foreigners, and have power sufficient to coerce the Tycoon, who is reported friendly to foreign intercourse. The Japanese will make a more determined fight than did the Chinese in the Opium war, but the result must eventually be the same—in favor of John Bull and free intercourse. TAKING STOCK IN THB NATION. —The St. Louis Democrat says "the sales of 5-20 bonds up to June 20th, amounted to one hundred and sixty-two millions six hundred and t seventy dollars. Of this sum, Jay Cook k Co. sold one hundred and twenty million. Ten million were sold in Germany." This is the way the Government pays its treasury notes, funds its debt and keeps up its credit at a higher notch than it ever reached during the disgraceful Democratic days of Pierce and Buchanan.

IDAHO.—W. W. Wallace, the newly appointed Governor of Idaho Territory, (formerly Congressional Delegate from Washington Territory,) issued a proclamation Juljr 10th, announcing that be would proceed to organize the Territory, according to Act of Congress, and to discharge the duties of ludian Superintendent, ex-officio. The temporary capital of the Territory is Lewiston. Idaho embraces an area of 326,000 square miles—enough to make seTen States like New York—and her extensive gold fields are attracting a large emigration. TUB ELECTION IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY. The Oregonian of July 17th gives returns from two counties and numerous precincts in Washington Territory, which show Cole, the Copperhead candidate for Congress, 164 ahead of Raynor, the Union nominee. The presence of two independent Union candidates in the field makes the contest a close one. It ii believed that the vote of the lower Sonnd counties will overcome the majority already reported for Cole, as well as the additional vote expected for bim east of the mountain*. SIMI-ANHCAL APPORTIONMENT or THE STATE SCHOOL FUND. —We published yeaterday the apportionment of back money due the public schools. Following is the regular apportionment for the last six months: 72,297 children, at 88 centa each, $63,621 36. Of this amount Yuba has for her 1869 children, $1,644 72; Sutter, $675 84; Sierra, $6BB 80; Nevada, $2,162 16; Plumas, $403 92; Colusa, $391 60; Butte, $1,487 20. THE Washoe Agricultural, Mining and Mechanical Society has resolved to hold its first Annual Fair dnring five days in October next, beginning on the 2d ofthatmonth. The Secretary has been directed to invite the Hon. Henry M. Edgerton, of Virginia, to deliver the first annual address, and the Hon. John S. Musser, of Carson, to deliver the opening address. Two STRINUS TO HIS Bow.—Samuel M. Bishop is the nominee of tbe Confederate Democracy for Secretary of State, and his name also appears in the Red Bluff Btacon as tbe fusion nomiaee for Clerk of Tehama county. Bishop probably tbinki he has a "dead thing" on being elected to one position or the other, but be will find by next September that tbe only " dead thing" around is Secession Democracy. TNX FLAO PROTECTS ALL ITS DEFENDERS. Colonel Ludlow, Commissioner for the exchange of prisoners, baa notified tbe rebel authorities that the United States Government will protect all officers and men in its service, regardless of color or nationality, k will promptly and severely retaliate for all violations of tbe cartel, and of tbe law and usages of war. Thia notice ia given by tbe order of the Government.

"OLD PDP. FCNC." IN A SCARE. —The Lancaster (Pa.) correspondent of the New York Trilnme, writes that shortly after the news reached that city of the approach of the rebel army, ez-President Buchanan was seen rushing excitedly through the streets with a big tin box under his arm. GOOD. —The Sacramento Republican folks have seen Wm. Bttusmnn, formerly editor of the APPEAL and San Juan Prtsa, bat now an honest miner in Washoe, and they say that he has a very flattering prospect befoie him. That comes of his quitting the tripod. FNENCH OPINION. —The latest Paris Monitear received in New York publishes an article in its correspondence which admits that the South begins to feel that its position is almost desperate. It says: "The continued efforts of the North hare broken into its territories on every side, and are slowly, but surely, completing its occupation." This is very different language from that published by the Government journal six months ago. General Lee's invasion of the North was looked upon, in advance, as the sure forerunner of disaster to him. REVIHINO TIIE TICKET.— Tho S. F. Call says: The Copperhead State Central Committee will meet in this city on Friday, when it is ■aid tbey will revise the ticket nominated by the Btb of July Convention. Tbey will, passibly, let Haigbt retire, and pay at least the semblance of homage to Unionism, by throwing Tod Robinson overboard. Findley, too, it is said, declines to run, and they will endeavor to find a substitute for him. It will take, however, mere doctoring than the Commltte* is capable of to so Improve the health of the ticket (bat it will live after the 7*ll election.
