Tho Elections In California.

We have papers from California late as the 9th Sep
TENDER but at San Francisco at that mehree DAYS
after the elections-here authentic report of the
vote in that CITY, Nothing certain can therefore be an
nounced until there is another arrival From the state
ments in the "Aa California" incline to the opn-
ion that while is entirely doubtful which party ahead
in the gubenatoral vote, there is scarcely any doubt OF
the of the democratic ticket for the legislature
With the latter ticket perceive there has been mixed
up nominations OF independent candidates. and this
increases the uncertainty of the calculation the pre-
else strength OF the regular parties in the legislature On
this feature OF the elections, is remarked by the journal
referred 10 that Judging from the general complexion of
the tables and from what know of the sentiments Of
the State, again conclude that there is very little
doubt OF democratic legislature" In respect however
to the county officers, the paper says SHAT any at
tempt 10 give the officers party classification would be
quite preposteTous."
Since the above in type, we find in the Pennsyl-
vanan Of yesterday the two following letters from San
Francisco, written at the moment OF the steamers sailing
both of which announce the gratifying intelligence Of the
election OF Bger, the democratic candidate for governor
together with the whole democratic ticket for State
officers and for Congress:
CAuyoRkA, HAIL! ALL HAMl-The editor Of the Pa

San Francisco, Sept. 8, 1851.
Mr. DEAR FoRKKY: We have no teegraphs IN this
country and does not arrive yet with light
ming speed in the Pennsylvania of the Pacific"
Enough to know that the returns, far received
show that Honest john is elected governor OF Cal
fonia, and the whole democratic State and congress
sonal ticket. We have secured, far a heard
from, majority OF the next legislature, which in.
democratic United States senator, vice Free
mont The legislative vote from this county will be
equally divided, which, in view Of the custom house in
huence and the notorious fact that Mr. r. Butler King IL
q candidate for the United States Senate, is most lr
unphant victory. We claim that bssner, and the official
result will prove our title to its possession. The
tain men OF California, like the miners OF Pennsylvania
have proved true 10 their principles and their country
May Heaven grant the same glorious result in the Old

A friend who came passenger by the Prometheus
bnnss letter to relative from San Francisco, which
probably contains the latest from the golden State
