Candidates for Governor.

Mr.. Editor: AS the period is approach
ing for the assembling of our Democratic
State Convention, upon which will de-
volve the important duty of selecting from
among the almost endless host of eminent
Democrats in California, candidate for
Guhernatorial honors, some of the friends
of those who have been named in this
connection have a peculiar penchant OF
presenting 70 the public the qua iications.
worth and po itical merit of their favor
ties. This is all very well, if the dose is
moderate, well mixed, and properly ad.
ministered. But when it is oUerdone, in
stead of its beneftting the candidate for
whose interest it was prepared, it only re-
suits in a contrary effect
| observed IN your last Herald, com
muncatlon announcing Col WIN. Hat
field as candidate for Governor Col
Hattie d, for aught know, is very good
Democrat, "a gentleman and scholar"
and may possibly possess all the merit
meted out TO him by the learned writer a,
"Yankee Jim'-," but that he is the choice
of the Democracy of Placer county, or
that he has their confidence to any grea,
extent, | most emphaticaIIy deny. Col
Hatfield has never appeared in but one
county convention since this was made a
county, and then he made more enemies
than friends by his overbearing and over
riding disposition in the transaction OF
the business of the convention. In fact
I oil. Hatfield is comparatively unknown
to the Democracy of Placer county, ex-
cept on the famous 'sDivide." Conse-
quenty, his being the sschoice'' Of this
county, having the "conf!ence," &C., and
the attempt to again override our county
convention by resolution of instruction
to vote for him, above IA | others, in the
Democratic State Convention-is entirely
gratuitous ''fuss and fuStian," and only
tends to injure Col. Hatfeld's prospects
if he has any, of receiving the nomination
spoken of.
We have several good Democrats in
this county who possess ability to fill the
Office alluded to, and whose unassuming
demeanor presents them in far more
favorable light when they may be called
upon, than the disposition (to TO ce a can
dldate upon the party) manifested in the
article above alluded to.
One of the cardinal principles Of De-
lnorracy Is freedom in political action
10 put this principle into practice then, a
Delegate should be left free and untran-
meled in discharge of the trust which has
been assigned him. Any attempt to de-
prive him of Il free exercise of this right
invades his privileges as a Democrat, and
forestalls his treenom of thought

from him by Mr. Curtis. After the pur-
chase, the contract was so modified as to
ensure the completion Of the work in the
shortest possible time, and within the
stipulated period of nine months from the
l lst of April. Additional stories are to be
added to the building, and the whole in
terror re-arranged. The latest improved
machinery, similar to that employed in
the Mint at Philadelphia, and capable of
coming $50, 100000 per annum, is being
shipped from New York. 1t is antici
pated that on or before the first of next
