him by the committee appointed for that
purpose. We invite attention and scrutiny
to every word and letter Of this most impor-
tant public document Patriotism and sim
cere devotion to the principles of the Ma
tonal democracy breathe in every line, and
no man who loves his country and desires
her prosperity and greatness can rise fl ON
its perusal without hearty endorsement Of
its noble sentiments, and hope that the
writer VI such u document will live long to
preside over a harmonious Union; restored
under his administration to peace ut home
and honor and good repute abroad
He was Calitornin's first choice, as he was
of the whole people of the Union. His long
experience in the service OF his country, has
given ample proof of his ability and devotion.
and now with the irosts Of time on his brow,
it is proper that the people of this great
confederacy should call him to the Execu-
tive chair, to guide and direct the affairs Of
the nation. This high post of honor
and usefulness cannot be more ably
filled. The fell spirit of disunion is abroad,
and our glorious Union is agitated by inter-
nal dissensions, and wisdom and experience
and energy and frmness, are necessary to
guide and control, to conceive and to exc
cute. lie is man whose long career of use
fulness is the best assurance that the people
can rely upon him with the most implicit
confidence. His position upon the great
national issues, are as sound and impregna-
BILE as the provisions of the constitution it.
self, and his whole course is as free from
sectional objections as that of any true pat
riot and lover of his country can be. Around
his standard will rally the patriot, and the
conservative and Union. loving men of the
nation.
The gallant Kentuckian, John c. Breck-
enridge, has been nominated for the Vice
Presidency. Although his nomination was
not expected by men in California, We have
heard bnt one sentiment expressed with re-
gard to him, and that is; that "no purer na-
tional or better man could have been cho-
SEN" His name is not unknown to his cour-
try, for he has received the united applause
has figured conspicuously at the forum of the
nation No man was ever nominated with
more enthusiasm, and no man will uphold
the banner of the national democracy with
more eloqucnce and fervor.
The Ticket presented by the National dem
ocratic convention is indeed, popular one,
and they have adopted a platform upon
which oil can unite. This platform was
adopted previous to the nomination of the
candidates for President and Vice President
and 1t was with the certain knowledge that
those candidates endorsed every principle
therein embraced, that they were selected
as the standard bearers of the democratic
flag in the approaching election. Every
conservative man in the North and in the
South, every man desirous of perpetuating
the union through the maintenance of the
sovereignty and rights of the States, every
man who insists upon the Federal govern
mcnt's prompt discharge of its duty in re-
sisting foregn aggression, in repelling en-
croachments by European powers upon the
States of Central America, upon the Islands
of the Gulf Of Mexico or the navigation
thereof, for any'purpose whatever, can stand
upon that platform and vote for the nomi-
nees. And, in addition to this, every man
who is desirous of maintaining the Constitu
ton as it is and upholding the cause of civil
and religious liberty, can, with cheerful and
good conscience. give to the candidates
nominated their jealous, enthusiastic sup
! port. This is all that is needed to insure
success and We are satisfied there is scarce
ly State in the Union, if We except one or
two at the north, that will not, by the FIRST
Tuesday in November next, embrace within
its limits suficiency of these to elect the
nominees by On overwhelming majority.
Present appearances are that the contest
will be between the Democracy and the
Black Republicans. The X. N. Party have
not the least shadow Of success. Their party
will be swallowed by the black Republicans
next ilall as they were in Congress last De-
oember. The national issues Of the canvass
have destroyed the Know-Nothing party.
