RAr1F1cATIoNs.-The Democracy of Sacramento
held ratification meeting in front of the Orleans
Hotel on Tuesday evening The american says that
at an early hour bells were rung, announcing the
meeting, and previous notice was given in the STATE
Journal of Tuesday morning-but, after few
speeches by old hacks of the party the whole turned
out very fiat. Here is the conclusion of the Ameri
cans comments on the affair:
In all candor, and as an honest statement of the
fact, we regard the meeting as a complete failure an
out-an-out fizzle-no ratification at all of the Demo
cratic nominations worth the naming. They must
do better than that or the KansasN ebraska slavery
extensonists will scarcely make ripple in the politi
cal waters Of this State, in the next campaign

The CONVENTION SYsTEM.-ConSiderable is being
said, in different quarters of the State, in favor OF
abolishing this nominating process which now holds
in both parties in this State. As remedy for the
evils resulting from the convention SYSTEM it is pro-
posed to organize Il new party. 1t is our humble
opinion as expressed elsewhere that parties will
not do the work New creeds are not demanded
There have already been too many professions and
too few performances 1t has been attempted to
christianize the world, by creating new churches
The experiment has proven waste of money. II
half the money spent in building new church edfces
and in initiating political organizations and con-
Quoting election campaigns were spent in elghtening
people in respect to everyday matters and teaching
them common honesty and what each owes to his
fellow his posteriy, and his country the world would
be the better for it.
To remedy the evils arising from the present mode
of making nominations, why not profit by the expe-
rience of others? In Ohio, the Democrats adopted
what they styled the popular vote system, which is
conducted in this wise A call is issued lot the
opening Of the polls on a stated day they are ac-
cordingy opened in due form in the several precincts,
and each candidate is baloed for in the same manner
at regular eections-with this restriction that
cry voter must be a sound democrat. The person
receiving the largest number of votes is the demo-
cratic candidate for the office named Let each party
in this State make its nominations in that way and
then vote its straight ticket and should soon see
which party was in favor of good men for Office.
Then the men elected would be the representatives of
the various propensies and prejudices of their con-
sttuents' and the first Legislature would be faith
iul reflex OF the complexion of the dominant party

A New PARTY.

The Sacramento Union is advocating the formation
of new party. II is not tenacious as to any par
tcuar principle to be advanced by the proposed Oh
ganzation, but it must discard the convention system
The Union is noted for these new party movements
Before the thorough organization of the Knownoth
ing party the editor Of that paper saw in an Amer
can organization the one thing needlul-the great
sine qua of political purity. During the infancy
of the Order before the world understood the nature
of its objects, the same paper spoke continually, and
forcibly, Of the necessity for such movement--o
the dangers that were thickenng and multiplying, Of
too great weight in our political machinery being
welded by foreign influence. 1t truthlully pointed
to the concessions and humiliaing bargains that were
made at every election by one party or another, in
the struggle to secure as nearly as possible clear
vote of the naturalized citizens. The Knownothng
Order grew to giant stature, and was allpowerfu
Many reforms have been effected, by Wholesome eX-
ercise Of the powers given into their hands by con-
fding people. There have been errors committed as
there have always been and always will be, by all
parties. new or old, however pure their purposes.
Either of the two parties now under way in this
State is before the people on good enough avowed
policy, to secure to California whatever is desired
barring only the antraroad propensities of the De
mocracy New parties will not better our prospects.
Let either party faithfully carry out the principles
proclaimed to the world in its platform, and after
one years dominance it can defy all opposition. The
American party has in the main been faithful to its
trust. There have been delinquencies-bu the in
luences that have marred the workings of the party
have to a great extent been removed. The Office
hunting politicians, who fastened upon it in hope o
advancement, have become disgusted with long wait
ing, and gone over to the opposition. Some Of those
who by intrigue secured elections and appointments
have seen the handwriting on the wall. and like the
less successful characters Of the same ilk have re
turned, like dogs, to their vomit.
The American party to-day stands before the peo
pie in a two-old better light than when a year ago
it marched to battle like the Simoom, laying low al
opposition. The partys mission then was to show
that Americans can rule America. That proposition
has been demonstrated to satisfaction Now, som
Americans not being just the proper men to rul
any country, and the characters who distrusted tn
signs of the times having principally withdraw
from our ranks and gone over to Il party in which
notwithstanding the abundant supply, trickery com
mands premium, our purpose now is to show tina
there are enough good Americans to rule America
