ton last fall, to congratulate Major Bow
ie, one of the late whig candidatessfor
Congress, on his election. Itswas also
the misfortune of the editor Of the
late, journal of Commerce, to retire
from his sanctam, after having conduct
ed the whig party of California to one
of the brightest victories in the history
of parties, but which soon proved to be
the ssbase,fabric Of a dreanV Unawed
these interesting precedents, the Times
and Transcript of the 9th congratulates
the friends of its Lord and Master, upon
the certainty of his reelection. The
same issue Of the ponderous Gwin organ
also announces that its industrious mas
tel. took his departure for WASHINGTON
op;the steamer Of the oh. It rehearses
the. vast services. of the indefatigablq
Doqtors and figures out a.hi7 anticiPata q
election with an, arithmetic not hereto
fare acknowledged asa standard work
with the democraeyw nothing less than
the assurance that . whig votes sufficient
are engaged, in case they are needed, to
secure Gwin's re-electlon. By what
process these whig votes we're obtained,
the organhas notiyet been pleased to
inform itbe public but it announces
withceertaihty and evident delight, that
"Dr. Gwin will receive more than a snf7
feientmihber of votes. from that source
to secure his eledtion,s't ia case the de-
mocracy do not Join the Gwi o iaction,
and cry all hal to its chief, and loag live
the Pacific M: S. SEQ This announce
nient of the ahwin organw BE-. received
with surprise--9f not with digust7-by
the intelligent democracy of California
Itsimply SAYS tebthe democracy, the
faithful party,it wnsinot long since iap-
pointed to lead,-9behold, if you do, not
eleet.this man'to rule over YOU, We will
array our; faction with the common ene-
my'ands ouermhelm you" l0Y erily, We
should like to see the State Convention
hereafterte assemble that would recog-
-fize democracy in the article referred to-
Such a convention would make the fu-
sionists Of the northern States blush fol
very shame. 1t is an utter disregard
of the wishes and will of the democracy
and evinces determination TO secure
the success OF faction, in opposition to
the democracy upon which it lately
called to eathe State. 1t IS tar in
advance Of even David G. Brode:- rick,
who, with all his attempts to carry the
last Legislature, compelled wings sup
porting him to anhounce themselves at
least as Broderick democrats. But the
present G*in' faction, it seems, are to
pay no attention to the wishes of the
democracy Of the State, and inform them
that if they do not swallow Mr. Gwin,
that the wings viii join with his faction
and secure his election This may be
good faetional democraey, but il demoo-
racy to which we are compelled to be-
lievc that none but hired faetionists
would subscribe. We have heretofore
contended that When the slindustiious
left for Washington, he virtually sur
the contest = and the terrible
figures ard f. ctiGnal assertions of his
obseqiious organ, will not'icreate any
other impression in the minisl of the
democracyiof California, except ii bd ito
them that the Times md Trans
cript has abandoned its democracy, and
staked lis hopes, and salvation, ul,on the
success OF an odious and euntemptible
faction, which stands ready to unite
any andlevery aliscordant faction in op-
position to the wishes of the democracy
unless that democracy will obey the
ofits chief.af IF thcidemocraey
OF California do not execrate and spit
upon such dictation, than we have much
mistaken their Independence character
and intelligence. 3i .s
As an offset to the clustering bragga-
dio of the Gwin organ, we insert the
following article from the San Francisco
Herald, an Independent Journal, which 4
the election last winter as an
act OF justice to the, north, and ROTOR
the purpose of contributing to the anc-I
cess Of an Unsuitable faction. Against
the. positive assertion the late demo-
cratic. but now1s6wih organ, We place
the equality positive assertion of a. con-
independent joufaal:, The
latter has nothing to- gain inlthe DEFEAT
of the Gsin faction, y lille the, success,
il not the, very existence Of the former,
depends, upon the political success Of its
master The public can Judge for them
