CALIFORNIA SENATOR.

The California papers express consid-
erable doubt as TO whether Col. Fremont
will be reelected to the United States Sen
ate. parties being nearly equally balanced.
The Stockton Journal says:
"Among those talked of as proper men
to supersede Col. Fremont. are Colonels
Weller and Geary, of San Francisco; Ma
jor Bryant, the author of What saw in
California; Capt. Halleck, formerly Sec
retary of the Treasury; and some say oul
present able and honest State Treasurer
Major Roman. Here is quite an array o
military candidates, who, with The excep
ton OF the last named. are preparing then
forces for-the fray. The contest will, no
doubt. be an exciting one, and vigorously
carried OH between the parties"
We infer from this that the Democrats
will have majority in the Legislature o.
California. This will upset the calcula
tions of the illustrious James Madison

rier'

John 8. Rhey, ESQ,

The FuAon Democrat objects to the
election of this gentleman to the Speaker.
ship of the next House of Representatives,
because he was the author of the Appor-
tionment Bill passed last winter. If the
editor can find no other grounds upon
which to base his opposition, we think he
had better stop it. Mr.. Rhey's course in
the Legislature. and especially in refer
ence to that very Apportionment Bill has
been endorsed not only by his own con-
stituents, but generally throughout the
State. We were opposed to that Bill,
and expressed our sentiments freely in
relation to it, believing, as we do, that
Cambria was not treated as she deserved,
but inasmuch as we are willing 10 believe
that it was the best that could have been
made under the circumstances, and as it
has been ratified by majority of the party
in the State, we think it silly on the par,
of any man ao,o TO urge il as an objection
to the election of Mr.. Riley.
1t is conceded on al hands that John
S. Rhey is better qualified for the station
for which he is candidate than any man
in the House. His conduct as a man and
a democrat is unexceptionable, and the
importance of the post in which his friends
wish to place him, and the importance of
the next Legislature TO the welfare and
prosperity of the State, both point him ou,
as the man for the occasion.
We think the Fulton Democrat takes a
ground too bitter against Mr.. Rhey in ref
erence to the ApPortionment Bill. 1t has
proven itself democratic, and if the Clarion
District had given anything like its usual
majority, our party would have MAORI
ty IN both branches of the Legislature -
We say nothing against Mr.. Cessna and
his claims. He is our Representative,
and we will sustain him, but he ought mo-
to suffer his friends to abuse Mr.. Rhey,
in urging his claims, as it is known to us
that Mr.. Rhey exerted his influence in
this county to secure the election of Mr..
Cessna.

ES We were not little amused last
week to see an article in the Johnstown
Echo, which endeayored 10 throw the
blame OF the defeat of DIR. Smith on what
they are pleased to term the Campbell fac
tion. Such an effort is only calculated to
excite the contempt of its readers, when
II is SO well known that those who control
that sheet were interchangeable in their ex-
ertions to bring about result SO disgrace
tnl TO the democratic party. Finding that
their conduct during last summer is calcu-
lated to injure the prospects of some of
them who are or will be applicants for Of
fee during the coming winter, they now
make vain effort to throw the censure
which they know they deserve, off their
own shoulders. They are now heartily
ashamed of heir conduct on that occasion
when they find a knowledge of it may
operate against them in obtaining share
of the plunder which they so anxiously
desire. 1t won't Go, however, as the
authors of that disgraceful transaction are
well known TO every voter in the county.
and we dare the Echo man to say tina,
those who control that sheet were not the
fathers of it.
We know that tickets were printed in
that office bearing the names Of John Lin
ton and John Cessna upon them, and we
know that those tickets were distributed
throughout the northern part of this coun.
ty by candidate for Congress. We also
know that at least two men who have held
high and responsible Offices in this county
now residing in Johnstown, stood at the
polls during the entire day, and exerted all
their influence TO bring about the defeat ol
nr. Smith. These things are well known
and cannot be refuted.
No. TO, Mr.. Echo. Ii you wish to
conceal your own conduct, you must no
DO j, by attempting TO cast The censure or
ihe shoulders of the innocent. If you
wish to get office, do SO honorably, and
acknowledge manfuliy sha. you acted in
concert wiki those who brought defeat
ppon the dem oc-atic party.
