press are greatly troubled about the
election of United States Senators.
Now they have lost all show of elect
ing Gov. Foote, or other K. n. bro
ken-down-at-home migratory office
hunters, they are devoting their at
ton to selection of candidates for
the legislature to elect to that impor-
tant office. The Post, published at
San Francisco, which, we believe, is
religious-K.-N. Fremont sort of an
organ, announces, with seeming au-
thority, that J. W. Denver will be
presented before the Legislature as
a candidate for that office. Mr.. D.
has done very well since he has been
in Congress, and if he chooses to pre-
sent himself as a candidate, let him
do so. But his real friends should
not subject him to the modification
{ defeat, and we trust those papers
that have put him forward as a can
didate, will not insist upon his cleo
ton, unless he desires them to do so.
In that event let the consequences be
upon his own head. No one worked
more earnestly for his election to
Congress than ourselves, and We are
willing to admit that he has made a
good member. But the Democracy
well remember his letter to Governor
Bigler when he left for Washington,
and also the charges which were
brought against him at the last Dem
ocratic State Convention, Of lis con
ncction with the X. n. order. These
are matters of history, and as we
are informed, susceptible of positive
proof. The Democracy of northern
California want Senator who is
radically and thoroughly democratic
all the while. And We say to the
meddling opposition press in the
southern portion of the State, ''hands
off," The Democracy can make
their own selections, without the
propnptings Of papers like the Post
Alta. They had better turn their
attention to the selection of one Sen
ator from their own portion Of the
State, or the pleasing duty of select
ing one for them may devolve upon
the democracy of the northern portion
of the State.
The Alta mentions the names of
Messrs. Latham and Washington,
and MesSrs. Gwin and Weller, and
Col. Henly. These gentlemen are
all good and able Democrats, who
have rendered important service to
the party during the late canvass, as
well as in former ones, but year or
so residence in Sacramento, does not,
in our estimation, entitle them to be
considered permanent residents of
the northern district. Should the
agitation of this question continue
for year or so more, we are fearful
that the southern portion of the state
would not contain talent sufficient
to form one Senator, and both would
have to be chosen from the north.
We are confident that the Legislature
elect will choose one Senator from
the north, and that they will 20
above the Capitol City to find the
northern portion of California.
After the first impulsive start that
business had taken early last sum-
mer had subsided into more even
and steady pace, it was predicted by
many of our trouble borrowing wise
acres that, as the wint9r approached
and the immediate furry and hustle
of excitement had worn off, that
general stagnation in trade of all
sorts would ensue. One of their ar
was that the mines herea-
bouts were mot what they were
cracked up to be-" and there not be-
ing any real, and substantial source
from which a permanent business
would be derived, of course Oroville
must die a natural death. The fall
laciousness of such reasoning, and
the utter ground essness for such
fears, is now being illustrated. Bu-
'ines never has been in more healthy
than it is at present. We
Fenture to say there have been more
goods brought into Oroville during
he last two months, than ever before
lurlng the same space of time.-and
