Senatorial Election.

The die ia cast, the arrangements per-
fected, and that the senatorial election is
10 come off at the next session of the
Legislature, ia no longer a matter OF
doubt. There will be at least three Rich
mond's in the field, how many more yet
remains to he seen, the number to he re
gu ated according to circumstances, and
in such manner AZ may best seem to secure
the object of the aspirants. he G note,
on the one side, is to b" sounded at its
hig hest pitch, hut failing to reach the ears
of those who have to decide upon its
merits; and it thereby failing to have i,s
case continued, H has been added to this
new gannt by way Of trying the ears
and testing the voices, and notes too,
of the coming Legislature. Neither of
these notes, it Is believed will suit the
music aIready prepared, and is now be
ing in the course of practice, by the other
side, no letter G appears, it having been
determined an incutberance, ana rs to
the letter H, as the next akin. next n pha-
beticaiy in order, why its Introduction
would be considered an Interpolation and
therefore nadvisahle. In ;his exigenry
it has been settled that the B note is suffi-
cent for all the legitimate purposes of the
exhibition, and it h 9 accordingly been
adopted. So Mr.. Editor, nst make up
your mind to face the music, for nOtwith
standing all your efforts, together with
The endeavors of those who have labnred
on the same side, this election will take
place e-un'eSs, however, the people of the
mountain counties meet in their primary
capacity, and forbid it by instructng their
representatives. TIE press, opposed to
the measure, has done all that could be
done under the circumstances, and the
effect has heen to cause the advocates of
the election, to re AK their efforts, almost
seemineIy, TO "eive it up" This is a
portion of their tactics-a lure to quiet
c0mplaint-to still the noise that was be-
ing made, and to "make believe" they
have almost abandoned the idea. Be not
deceived Ivy this apparent quiet, Mr..
Editor, nor suffer yourself npi those who
act with YOU to he "guIled' by those CON
irving tactician>, for they are ns actively
and energetcal Y ut work as ever, and
not the le>s effectively bccausr of its being
done quietly and in secret They have
already counted noses aud felt pu -e-, mud
although sufficient number of the first,
To constitute a majority, have not yet been
cataioeued, it is however believed with
proper management the latter viii he
brought ultimately to beat time in unison,
and thus complete the programme, the
finale of which requires no very sharp
optics ~ see, or prophet, TO foretell Al
this, sir, has been rre-arrang-d-S San
Francisco il determined to send Il Senator
to Wa-hington-the fiat has gone forth
and who shall gnnsay, who say no. who
Care oppose AS for the strength of the
mountains, why, it is laughed Mt, redicul
ed. We, of such localities are facetou>ly
referred 10 the fable of the "Mountain
in labor" that brought forth a mouse,
and more, we are told by those very
agreeable gentlemen, that our labor will
result in just about such IA product. Well,
be it so-that is, if our people of the
mountain counties, so ,cW IL. If we de-
eide that we are not entitled-nOt worthy
to share in the SpnatoriaI representation,
or, which for one will never admit, tn I
we have no man among Ms capable, or ft,
for that high and dgnfipd position, why
then let's "kn0ck undern at once, with
the best grace possible, and let San Fran
cisco take her own cour>e-have it all
her own way-hang down our heads
cease comnlaining, and say no more about
our dignity nor twit San Francisco more
about dlctation, Sc.
