FACTS FOR THE NORTH.


ion Of the congressional candidates, although
as general thing we would not make use OF
III 8 kind of argument, but in the present
case we think it may be used in all fairness
and with honor The whig convention which
assembled alter the democratic nominations
were made, suffered San Francisco to control
their nominations, hoping that her influence,
as the democratic candidates were not chosen
from city, would secure their election Thus
showing their willingness to choose their
representatives from San Francisco, when
the southern portion of the State was justly
entitled to it, because by so doing they tho't
to increase their chances of success. They
are willing that San Francisco should furnish
representatives all the while, if by so doing
they can gain their influence, and this too, at-
ter all the blowing of the whig press during
the past season, ab ,ut San Francisco having
always furnished nearly the entire delegation
in Congress from this State They give the
ca udidate to San Francisco in order to secure
her support, and expect to humbug the noun
tain counties into his support. Perhaps they
will do it, but we are inclined to believe that
the mountain counties vii report that the
swell of San Francisco is not the dandy for
them.
And how is it with the whig candidate
from the north During the past winter the
whig press have been loud in asserting the
claims of the northern mining counties TO one
of the next representatives in Congress. And
have they chosen a man from one OF the north
ern mining counties as their candidate! NO
Indeed they have mott There was candi-

mining counties, an old Mexican soldier TOO,
but he was too honorable to sell his frien 8

Mr.. Bowie who went before the convention
candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court,
was willing to support the too-ldng neglected
claims of San Francisco. and for SO doing re-
ceived the nomination for Congress.
The democratic nominees are both from
the mining and agricultural counties of the
State They have been presented from those
districts because they were justly entitled to
it, and when San Francisco politicians attemp-
ted to interfere against it, they were told to
withdraw and make their own nominations
They do not Look to San Francisco for any ex
traneous appliances to aid them in their elec

candidates they are. The mining counties Of
northern California have now an opportunity
to secure member of Congress from their
midst. His opponent is presented by the in
fuence of San Francisco, and except when
asking miners for their votes. would scorn to
extend his white kid glove toward them. The
candidates for Congress are before you. choose

The democracy of the northern counties have
also demanded that the next q S Senator, to
be chosen by the next legislature, should lie
chosen from the northern mining counties,
and our candidates for the Assembly have
been nominated with instructions to secure
to the north her just rights in this respect.
Should the next Legislature be whig, the next
U. s. Senator would be chosen from the SOUTH

secure the next U. S. Senator, if they have to
