Hon. n. M. Price and the Whig Press.

No did the democratic party unfold its banner
inscribed with the name OF Rodman ID Price lis
ddate for governor than the whole whg press. from
end OF The State 10 the other, commenced the work oil
misrepresentation and abuse. Never, we think, did We
witness such want OF fairnesssuch total disregard OF
truth on the part Of the wing press-so early in cam
pagn The truth is the nomination OF Price has carried
dismay into the very ranks of whggery and the leaders
through The press. in their desperation, have undertaken
rally their scattered forces not by argumen-not by
appeal 10 patri0tsmbut by aIsehood and SANDER The
editor OF The Stale Gazette especially is laborng hard 10
prove that he has claim TO vsracty and thai he
the weapon OF blackguardism well any body else
That editor who, report speaks correctly ruined him
self pecunarly by large expenditure oil money when
running for Congress- last fall. Gals Rodman M. Price
"the California candidate Of corruption" pretty one,
surely speak thus OF who, in talent, patriotism,
and purity, is so far above himself.
The Gazette. in article column and hall long,
labors prove that Mr. Price is not eligible to the office
OF governor. He commences with falsehood when he
asserts that Mr.. Price not born in New Jersey; and
when editor starts long article IN this way, read
may Judge where he gets 10 before he closes.
That clause in the constitution on which the Gazette
and other papers found the charge Of inegby reads
follows
..The governor shall be less than thirty years age
ted States and resident of this State years
before his election unless he sh. have been absent during
the public business OF the United States, OF

returned TO New Jersey in 1850. The government
dered him away; the government ordered his return.
MIR Price never selected" alcalde. Tie held the
position by the appointment OF the military authority
der which he placed al the time. When the proc
lamson OF was received, be was ordered on board
his vessel, and Rev. Walter Cotton. chaplain in the
navy, appointed by mliary authority TO I'LL the post
Mr. Price a member OF the city council OF San
Francisco; he was a member oil constitutional conven-
ton but he held these positions under military power
no State laws. no Stale constitution being then in exist
ence in California
Mr. Price was voted for by large number OF the peo-
pie OF California for Congress dozen other gentle
men also voted for; but II this fact makes Mr.
Price ineligible for governor II will take, not Pbladel
pha lawyer, but jersey editor, 10 prove it.
Singular indeed, is the pursued by the wings
They can find nothing against the democratic candidate
for governor except that he dared, al his countys CALL
