The Difference.

In no other State in the Union will the
Fillmore ticket run as well as it has in Cali
fornia, and the result must surprise even the
warmest followers of the proscrptive leader.
Fremont will be beaten by Fillmore by quite
as much odds as Fillmore will by Buchanan,
most humiliating defeat to the "Conquerer
of California; No greater proof could have
been given of the affection of this State for
the Union, as there is scarcely doubt that
the South will secede in the event of FIRE.
monts success. Perhap ps it may be that dis
tance lends enchantment," but we think that
no State of the Confederacy surpasses Cali
fornia in loyalty to the Union, and love for
Republican Institutions. Could California
have voted month prior to the other States,
so that the result could have been known in
the East before the general battle, Buchanan
could have walked over the course. As the
returns come in, we feel more and more in
clined to the opinion that Buchanan will
lead both his opponents united. As it is, we
estimate his triumph over Fillmore at about
10000, and over Fremont at 20,O0O. The
election was conducted fairly as far as we can
learn, and the enemies of Democracy having
lost their old excuse, that of ballot box stuff
fing, are at least compelled to admit that
California is intrinsically Democratic. The
conviction was distastefu, and they have
endeavored to stave it off by every excuse
that could be invented; but their last plank
has sunk from under them, and left them
houndering in the waters Of despair. In this
City and County the Blacks made their
great fight; they struggled manfuly and died
hard; but the black flag of disunion should
blast the hopes Of any party that should dare
to raise it on American soil Their cause
was bad; principles they had none They
had furnished no better or more plausible
form of government than that guaranteed by
the Constitution. They presented no snbsti-
tute for the institutions they wished to des-
troy. Their whole antagon,sm was based
on producing spasmodic' and tantastical ex
citement in the body polite, on which to
ride into power and place. Their whole OBJ
ject was power, plunder and extended rule

THE RESULT

The election is over; the clash of arms has
ceased to rescued; the shock of battle has
passed; and as the smoke and dust incident
to the contest clears away; we discover the
standard bearers of the Democracy with the
wreath of victory encrcling their brows-
Here and there friend in the Townships
and districts of Placer, has been struck
down; but our entire County ticket, ma
jority of the Board of Supervisors and so
far as we can learn majority Of the Town
ship officers have been elected, whilst Buch-
anan and Breckenridge have led the col
umn.
The contest was warm, we did not gain an
inch of ground upon the vote of 1855, with
out meeting determined resistance.
The Democracy have proven themselves
worthy Of the cause entrusted to their keep
ing. 1t does not become us to boast over a
fallen foe. We simply return thanks to the
people for their faithful adhesion to the tick
ct with the success Of which, we believe the
best interests of the Union, State and coun.
ty are indissoluby connected. Our oppo-
nents no doubt differed with us in this opin-
ion, and tougt for their side of the question
with honesty and zeal Let our shout of
victory be tempered by respect to the feel
ings Of our defeated opponents.
For ourselves we have endeavored to con-
duct the campaign in such a manner, as to
leave as few heart burnings as possible, and
in no instance spoken Of men with personal
animosity or drawn their private character
before the rude criticism of the crowd
We have had our friends in the field and
have done our best to secure their election,

1t is possible that in the sharp conflict that
has been going forward during the campaign,
we may have said that which cooler mo-
ments would not justify.
This is a reasonable conclusion, consider
ing the passions and fangs of human no-
tire. No doubt our opponents can concede
quite as much on their part; and if so, we
bury the hatchet, and proclaim truce

Ey- The election, which but few hours
since engrossed universal attention, has in a
great measure lost its interest. This is of
course owing to the fact that the returns are
so one-sided as to leave no question as to the
result. From the best source of informa-
ton, and far as the returns extend, Buchan-
ans plurality is 1928. The joint vote Of
the two opposing candidates exceeds his by
3,O72. The Legislature is overwhelmingly
Democratic. In the Senate there is clear
majority Of three over all opposition, and in
the House. as far as heard from, twenty-f five
majority. There are thirteen members yet
to be heard from, most, if not all, of whom
will doubtless be of the political faith of the
maority-Sac Union Nop. 8.

fatigue, which even the hardy mule dis

The resemblance in the frank and hand

The sun was sinking gradually in the western

bases to the SUBMITS Of the surrounding hills,
there playing around them for a moment like
devoted friends, loath to leave them to night

ed through the boughs Of the forest trees,
causing the leaves, still wet with the mois-

diamonds.

At carly dawn, wandered forth
To greet the morning STAR
The air was calm, the sky serene,
Its tsbrilliance shone afar,
And with the chastencd glow of love,
Soft as an infants dream,
Its image was reflected from
The Yuba's golden stream.
Beneath lofty pine, whose top
Appeared to kiss the skies,
Alone, miner knelt whose prayer
Thus heayenward didrise

Hath twined around my heart;
Oh, may they ever prove the bliss
Which faith and hope impart.
"Touch thou my sire's silyery locks,
Softly as flakes of snow
Fall on the gentle Yuba's breast,
Where the Sierras glow,
And to my mother, be thou kind

And in my Mary's features trace

And left me a lone mournor here
Ny beautiful, my wife!

Thou knowest that for my children's sake
And hers, would have died"
