personally, and give an assurance to the
Democracy of the State that he viii beaI

next"
We have also before MS the comments OF
the Sonora Herald, an opposition paper pub
lished in the same county; and that paper,
although bitterly opposed to Mr. Scott, does
not attempt to bring single specific charge
against Chas L. Scott II parades the fact
that Mr.. Scott was kept out of the State
Senate by the unholy Know Nothing hurri-
cane which swept over California last fall,
but this is to his credit rather than his dis
credit. Depend upon it, Chas L. Scott will
prove himself gallant champion in this i'm
portant contest.
The second candidate for Congress is Jo-
sEpH c. McKIBnEN, of Sierra county-a ma
tive of the Keystone State, Pennsylvania
Mr. McKibben has been State Senator,
has held other important positions in Califor
MIA, and has always proved himself true to
the Democratic party and true to the best
interests of the State. He is known to a
large portion Of the people, and wherever he
is known he is popular. His uprightness,
generous disposition, ard unieigned suavity of
manner make true friends for him wherever
he goes The X. n. papers have (of course)
made infamous attacks upon him; but they
have not and cannot prove them For in
speaking Of Mr. McKibben, uses the follow
ing language: He is charged with having
been gambler We are authorized 10 gre
The report fiat denial" Let the opposition
put their fingers on Mr. McKibben's acts;
the people will not believe their random de-
nunciations.
CHAs. S. FAIRFAX, of Yuba, is the Demo
cratic candidate for Supreme Court Clerk
He was speaker of the Assembly in 1854,
which distinguished position he filed with
ability and impartiality, and won hosts of
friends even among those with whom he diff
fercd politically He is 'the very soul of
and his accommodating DISPOSE
ton, together with his unquestioned qualif-
tons, would point him out among ten thous-
and as just the man for Clerk of the Supreme
Court His election is certain.
ANDREW JACKSON MouLDER, of San Fran
cisco, is our candidate for the truly mpor-
tant Office Of Superintendent of Public In
struction. He is one Of the best educated
and first young men in the State. Mr.
Monlder waschosen by the people Comptroller
Of San Francisco; and it is a strong recon-
mendation in his behalf that he has been one
of the very few public officers Mt the Bay
who come out unscathed He is universally
admitted by all parties, as having beena a capa-
bic, faithful, and strictly honest public sery-
ant. He has been tried in the very hot-bed
Of corruption, and he has been found true
as steel y The people of the whole State
will reward him.
We have thus hurriedly glanced at the
position and character of the dfferen. cam
didates. AS in duty bound, the K n. prints
lied by that truth-loying sheet, the Cahfor-
MA American,) have assailed most of them
with the vilest Of vituperation and abuse
But this was TO have been expected. If the
Democracy had selected the purest of the
Saints for their candidates, the unprncipled
presses of the midnight order would have
yelped at them as ferociously. But their
SANDERS will not deceive the people Of Cali
lornia. We conjure voters not to be imposed
upon by the hypocritical appeals of the
midnight prowlers. They win
the Democratic candidates, and
endeavor to heap all kinds of undescrved
odium upon them; but the people will elect
them Mark that
CoRREcTIoN-Judge Thos. d. Grant, of
jackson, made speech at the Democratic
ratification meeting held at Butte City some
time since. His remarks were grossly as

reason, we presume, than because they "told"
