I'he Resuls.

Now that the smoke has cleared away from
the battlefield OF the late political contest the
results are fast becoming visible. Hundreds
who weut into hefightfushed with high hopes
of glorious success, and flashing their fachions
doughty in the sunlight, now lie scattered over
the plain, promiscuously, without any sort o
effort at artistic effect. like s.pearls at random
strung"-their lights all hed,' their hopes all
Lead, and their bodies pierced with a thousand
villanous holes, covered with the bloody mantle
ofdefeat.
The lishtnings may Cash ard tie iouG thun-
They heed not, they hear not, they're free
from Ell pain
They sleep their last sleep, they have fought
their last battle
No sound can awake them TO glory again
for dozen months, Whereabouts.
According to the returns received, "Biger
leads the column holding flag of victory in
his hands whose fields are sufficiently ample to
cover the entire Democratic State ticket His
majority in the State will be upwards of one
thousand.
very large majority Of Democrats have also
been elected to the Senate and Assembly. We
hope to be able to give complete returns next
week.
Speaking of the result, the San Francisco
Commercial Adoertiser, formerly the Wig
whose editor, Mr., Lull, was one of the regular
Whig candidates for State Senator-treats the
"independent' press Of that city to the follow
ing =" sand-hill tak:"-
Nothing short of miracle can now prevent
the reelection of Gov. Bigler. The remote
southern counties may overcome his present
majority from the north, bnt this would be
miracle. The fiat has gone forth-the people
have spoken and we bow to their decree.
How has John Bigler been elected! We do
not hesitate to answer, principally by the mis-
cradle lndlscretlon of his a. independent oppo-
nents. as represented through their presses
No man ever lived on whom more and bitterer
walls OF wrath have been poured forth by an
irresponsible press than upon him. They have
searched tue vocabulary of slang and vitupera-
ton with painstaking assiduity for opprobrious
eplthets to heap upon his head. They have
exhausted all the gall and bile which has been
vouchsated them by Heaven to stigmatizc his
name. They have treated him, the Governor of
the State like common felon. They have pnt
him IN fear of his mortal life, and, in their
hearts, condemned him to an immortal death
Their pens have been dipped in Nitric Acid and
they have used the butchcrly weapons Of the
slau ghter house.
But for them and theirs he would never have
been nominated-but for them and theirs he
would never have been elected He has been
abused into the Gubernatorial chair. God for
bid that we should become the apologist for
John Bigler. We haye opposed him honestly.
openly, and ghttorwardly, but we cannot
and will not from this day FORTH hesitate to de-
nounce all such means have been used by
these Independent gentlemen to elect him.
The Shasta courier., 1853-09-17

ADAMS & Co.-The AAa says that this estab-
lishment merely for the accommodation of the
press and the public, some time before the cleo
tion had the whole State literally bclted with
lines of fleet horses and expert riders, standing
IN readiness to express the returns from every.
point, and we doubt if the same amount of terri,
tory has been travelled over in so short
space of time as has been accomplished by these
messengers. Nothing but magnetic telegraphs

THE FALL Is HERE.-tur tie past week we
have had regular Fall weather, reminding us of
chestnut time in the old States Overcoats are
decidedly comfortable, and wooden under clothes
are in lequisition. Yes, alas the summer has
passed away, with all of its joys and its pains,
and "the melancholy days have come, the sad
dest of the year" Why is it that at this particu-
lar season all feel the old time come over us
so sensibly, bringing to recollections tho,r-
sand "reminiscences of our school-boy days, long
ere we mingled in the ronsh of life?
causing us to yearn for sight once more of the
old folks at home! ~
