Tho Times any, as tho last " speaker left tho stand, n auilden removal or chango of tho scenery in tho rear of tho stand exposed to view tho unfurled banner of tho Union the glorious Stars and Stripes, and ns if ly electricity, tho nuuienco arose nt once to their feet, and gavo threo hearty cheers for the flag ol our Union." draw from tho Confederacy, and llio policy of coercion under nny or existing circuin- ituucc, aro question past consideration num. Tho nsiiuult has km made, and the nutional honor demands that tho treason which prompted it lie crushed out. Since the South hus refused tho oliro, sho mil l tuko tho sword. There is no other alterna tive Tito (iiivernmont, to which wo bow in loy.d submission, hus so deem d, aud ' Amen' swell from million of Northern aud Southern hearts in rcsjiouso to tho dread announcement. Henceforth, wo must talk of how pcuco may best bo ton qurrtdnoi preserved. All we can now see of liopo for tho Republic is an uncertuin glimmer breaking through tho battle-clouds which rise like a pull of denth before us, casting a shadow of desolation over the land, and shutting out the mercy and tho smile of God. To every American the question is now put: 1 In this, the hour of tho Republic's deepest gloom and greatest peril, will you or will you not sustain the Federal Government? ' ' Yes,' or ' Xo,' must bo tho answer. Throughout the Un ion, tho roll is being culled; tho mustering legions are darkening upon tho distant hori zon, nnd instant choico must be tnndu whether we will array ourselves' under the Mack Hag of Jiff Davit in support of Southern treason, or beneath tho sacred banner of tho Republic in defense of all our fathers fought for of ull they died to obtain. In an emergency like the present, every patriotic voice and arm is required. Xo man olive to tho noblest nnd purest of nil sentiments love of country can remain in nctivo. Tho Northern States have o.T red assistance to the Government. Tho Bor der States, including Virginia, will give aid and comfort to the South. So say tho dis patches. Kcnmvcil Iroin tho scene ol con-1 diet by tho width ol a continent, and Una able to aid the Government with her strong-armed legions, it is tho duty of tho I'ueific Coast to officially express her de votion to tho Union, nnd oQVr sonic defi nite nsstiruuco of the loyalty of her people.. Let tho General Government bo apprised at unco thnt the States of the I'ueific may be relied upon. It will relievo the Admin istration of tho misapprehension engender ed by tho treason of Jlureh nnd Lane, and better' enable It to copo with rebellion where it actually exists. 0 would sug gest that the Legislature of California offer the Government the aid of ten or twenty thousand of tho stoutest arms nnd hearts that ever wielded weapon, either to march to tho Kust or man Its defences hero, nnd as much monry as the credit of tho Stato is worth. The men will not bo required, except it bo for the hitter service; but the offer will be received with joy by tho Gov ernment, ns an indication of the loyalty of our people, and exercise a moral influence ! equal in effect to the force of n hundred thousand bayoucts." la Itrlill rraiaU AlUwtl HUte.
