The recent election In this State has certifea the
strength Of the democratic party. Not only did the
national dsmocracy, or hards, Of Cahfornis have to
contend with whiggery. but with the Custom House
clique, which went to the support Of the admins
tration.
The administration organs here try to foist lie
upon the country, by sveing that the election was
o signal success Of the Pieroeites Tho Placer 7ynS
and Transcript, In . long article, congratulates
the imbecile President a. follows
While sns Of every variety and hue springing up
in other States Of the Union in many endng and
dividing the democracy-while combinations have been
formed Of various dscordant elements designed form
. raying force against the national ation-the
proud and firm position taken by California the recent
election is a source Of c0ngratulation to every true
democrat The democracy here had they have else
not only their old os the w
party made confident OF success by divisions 10 the
ranks Of their opponents but powerful combination Of
and skiful political traders from their
own midst whose svowed and expressed object Was to
give the State into the hands Of the wings Rely
ing however, upon their inherent strenghthe justice
and integrity Of their cause.-The beauty Of their poli
cal system and the intelligence and patriotism Of the
masses they went into the fight determined to conquer
And conquer they did. A most signal rebuke was ad-
ministered both to whiggery and treachery, while
truly democratic President most emphatically en-
dorscd.
Now, what the Times and TSame,ipt kcns in the
election to propitiate smile from the administrs
tioA is beyond our comprehension. The election OF
Denver and Herbert Is confrmstory Of the strength
or the democratic party here, and sound principles
Tie election Of Denver and Herbert Isl signal
rebule to the administration, beyond peradven
tu,e. The masses rushed, like loya deaizens, to the
polls and deposited their votes for these cand tatee
because they were eximiCns meu-because thei !
principles were coherent with republi anism in al
its Neutrality-suspicious. Denver and Herbert had
no sympathies with that administration that bonn.
bsrded, MsTcy-creed and Pierced the inhabitants
Of San Juan. None but the employees OF the ad-
mrst1s,ion show any reluctapce in saying that the
acts Of Pierce are ipimical to their feelings.
Gen. McDougall, n. c., Is Pierceite and church
man, bis compeer In the late election, axd the people
knew 1t; but how many votes did they setf Only one
thousand and some odd out Of forty eight thouaand
ID this feet illustrative Of emphatical endorse
ment?" EmphAti ally no!
II the PRECEDENT thinks that California is not cog
infant Of its acts because OF long geographical
distance, he is mistaken.
irne President thinLs that distance is going to
"hird" caiDornians, the recent elections win "see"
him. The democracy here sssmilates itself with
the bares Of New York and the national democracy
Wbiggery, whose defunoton was consequent from
the last quadrenDisl conflict, has been exhumed int,
lie, and now CLOVIS with its principles in ,ouded BY
Know NSthipgism-a subterfuge Of the old wing
leaders TO suN ert the national democracy Of '56.
Union democrats, sesp the film off your eyes, and
loO'e sharp for '66.
CalforI ia at present Ia dull. Groceries, dry goods
and graf. and ether kinds Of produce are selling ex
trenely low. Barley sells for 81 per cwt.; wheat
sells for 81 l62; potatoes, $l25. Me.sons are given
away almost; likewise tomatoes.
Mining at present is dull, which arises from
want Of wster to wash the dirt with.
When the rair season sets in there will be indu.
bitsbly rush for the Mines and an impetus will
be given to busines 10 by the approximating migra-
ton. "But now" as the negro said, business Is
dub, suueilatveIy dull" This arises from the "a
that responsible parties have been S,huylerized
lately by
Comptroller Meiggs,
Who has took to legs
and carried Off large amount Of bullion. The
nodus operandt of this swindle is the issue Of false
scrip Of the city, bearing forged SIGNATURES which
were admirably executed. Adams & Co. pronounced
them genuine, 30 adroitly were they executed.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
