PERsoNAL.AThe Hon. Thos. Wells,
Member of Assembly from Butte Coun-
ty, took his departure in quest of the
Capitol Of our State on Friday morning
last.
Hon. c. G. Lincoln, whig Member
elect from this county, left on Saturday
last, to spend the intervening week be-
fore the commencement of the session,
with his Guardian in San Francisco
He informed us that some of his whig
constituents had advised him TO vote for
Gwin, as there seemed to be no show
for the election of whig candidate 1t
is quite probable that his guardian in
San Francisco, has given him similar
advice. and he may present himself there
with Isis ballot in his porket, and his
course chalked on his hat. 1t is hoped
however, that ref ction will convince
Mr. Lincoln that large majority of his
constituents, both wings and democrats,
would prefer to see him vote for nor
thern man-even if he should be forced
to vote for himself Mr.. Lincoln is a
Young man for whom we have good
deal of respect. and, if he votes for any
but whig candidate, we sincerely hope
that he will not be Influenced by the fac
ton of the Gwinocracy of San Francis

known sentiments. of the citizens of
Butte County, who have so generously
extended him their confidence and sup

ceptable to the people of California by

road question, than by interfering to Sc
cure.the election of sectional Senatorial
candidates.
We are not an admirer of that des-
cription of democracy which, perched at
the federal capitol, dictates to the peo-
pie of the States what men they shall
send to represent them at Washington.
The people of California have recently
proved themselves true democracy, and
sent two administrator Congressman to
Washington, and we should suppose the
Union would be satisfied to see Califor-
MIA send an administration democrat to
Washington. But it is afraid to trust
the peope-evidently considers the peo
pie of California incompetent to choos'
a Senator, and kindly volunteers its ad-
vice, and points out the only individual
in our State who is worthy of seat in
the United States Senate. The Union's
democracy equals that of the abolition
fanatics of the north, who, considering
the people Of the territories incapable Of
governing themselves, and wish to adopt
laws for them. The people of Califor-
MIA do not subscribe to such democracy
They are willing that other people
should govern themselves and choosc
their own pub ic servants, and they will
doubtless do the same thing, perfectly
regardless of the pain" it may occasion
the sectional genius who grinds out die
tatoraI democracy for the Washington
Union. His efforts if needed anywhere
will find employment nearer hime, in

miliar with the public career of the three

What we conceive to be the true cause
for the great concern exhibited by the
Washington Union for the seccess of
Mr.. Gwin, is this-The Editor of the
Union and Mr.. Gwin are both in favor
of the southern route for the great ma
tional railroad, and both are undoubted-
ly interested in the great moonshine
railroad of Walker, King & Co., and
ofcourse the Union ''is panied to learn
that the people of California, are about
to reject the very distinguished gentle
man, because his sectional activity has
bsen confined to forwarding the interests
of the southern route, without troubling
himself about the wishes of his constitu-
ents, or the practicability or induce
ments offered BY other routes. The
Union is well aware that the defeat OF
Gwin will deprive that route of an active
agent in the Senate, and leave the ques-

a great national work, and the route to
be selected for its practicability, and
