SrvAroRrAL-The Marysville Herald has


next L. States Senator His ponderous blows
took effect among the organs of aspirants
from other sections, and several papers uni
tedly called upon the Herald to name its man
This the General done in his usual good Style
and lest one should be objected to, he mentions
several whom he thinks are anxious to serve
the people, and would make excellent Sena-
tors. The General has exhibited excellent
taste in selecting large majority of his can
didates from the editorial fraternity. Many
of the candidates thus named, have already
declined, and we doubt not all of the Gen 5
editorial candidates, will decline being a beg
gars for that position before the next legis-
lature. As the General included US in his
list of candidates, We improve the earliest
opportunity afforded by due regard for
health, to state distinctly and emphatically
that we are not candidate for that position,
nor can we consent to become a candidate
under any circumstances whatever, and our
friends throughout the State, are hereby au-
thorized to withdraw our name from the Sen
atorial canvass whenever and wherever the
same may be presented. We would'n not have
it if we could get it. and would not 60 to
Washington were we elected. II, indeed,
among the bitter feelings and heart burnings
arising from the Senatorial contest, our name
could in any manner restore harmony to the
democratic party, we could not under such
circumstances refuse to obey the first law of
party, but should accept the Office and endea,
vor to marke cur make our mark
The State Journal in noticing the different
candidates for Senator, says the counties com
posing the Ninth Judicial District, have sent
but two democratic members to the Legisa-
| ture, and therefore thinks McCorkle's strength
will be small in the Senatorial caucus. The
Journal is mistaken. There are three demo-
cratic members elected from the Ninth Judi
cial District-Wells, of Butte, Kinney, Of
Plumas, and McCutcheon of Colusi The
Journal is also mistaken in placing the coun-
ty Of siskiyou in the Ninth judicial District.
We are iaclined to think that the Journal is
also iaboring under an error when it says
that Judge McCorkle s'has made decision,
which indicate that his political pursuits have
materially interfered with his legal studies :"
At all events it would do well to specify =
The errors in the Senatorial articles show
very plainly that the editor is not familiar
with the histories he gives, and that they
were written in haste, rs the writer was anx-
lous to close the series, and arrive at the
grand finale tableaux, where the writer would
be in his element, in beslobbering with adu-
lations the putrid and corrupt carcass Of Da-
vid c. Broderick. But suppose the Journal
should apply the rule it has laid for the north
to its own candidate. The Ninth District
elects six Members of Assembly, and three of
them are Democrats San Francisco elects
nine, and two of them are democrats only
The rule laid down by the Journal to defeat
would throw him entirely out of the caucus.
These Senatorial articles of the Journal
have doubtless served the purposes which gave
them birth-they have furnished a few lead

hereafter become valuable, had they been
compiled with due regard to impartiality
and desire to give correct information
/ Senator Gwin, who desires reelection
has recently been in Marysville making anx-
ious inquiries concerning Mobiles Pass, and
expressing We believe, sort of preference
for that route. This may be all right, and the
DR.. may just now feel that Nobles pass is the
more preferable route, but we have no conf
dence in any such helef, and our opinion is,
that the Dr. will be careful not to commit
/ himself in favor of Mobiles Pass He has too
much sagacity for that. But if he can make
few nothern votes out of the Noble Pass
Route, it is so much the better for him now
1 But if the great continentinal rail road ever
enters California, via Mobiles Pass, it will not

He has been untiring- i'll his labors, and has
taken good care to let the people of California
know it. According to his own account. he
has effected all that has been done for Cali

to Washington, might as well have been at
home OF course no sane man believes such
