OplHlOuS OF Cne PreSS.
The news of the postponement of the
Senatorial election has been received with
almost universal applause. The democrats
are in extacies, and the press already freely
expresses the general delight.
[From the Marysvillc Express.l
Our readers will rejoice with us, over the
action Of the Senate yesterday The Demo-
cracy have done noby, gloriously. They
| have shown themselves worthy of represent
ING the people of California by rescuing her
from the foul stain of being msrepresented
in the Senate of the United States by men,
Der of a faction. Thanks, a thousand thanks,
for their untlinching hrmness and unpurchas-
able integrity. We have no space for fur
thcr comment. but refer our readers to our
telcgraphic column.
[From the Marysvile Inquirer]
"Ilobson's choice is all that we have left;
Foote or none. DO not the people of this
State infintel y prefer that there should be
no election by the Legislature, than that u
man should be elected, who would be, as it
were alone. Mr. Foote could not expect the
sympathies of Democrats, Wings, or Free
Soilers. Who would be his friends. The
of whom he could claim the least attention.
would be the Corporal's guard who have sup
ported Humphrey Marshall, and who have
through him signicd their preference for an
Administration Democrat, rather than the
gentleman who is the choice Of the Norther,i
members of the order. Far better will it be
TO postpone the whole affair till another
session, when men may be elected who will
be of service to their constituency, and whose
course will be an honor to the State.
[From the Columbia Gazettc.]
Now we say to all Democratic members of
either Houses, look well to your action--de-'
feat this unhaIowed election This is not
time when the Democracy are contendne'
against political party, led on by such men
as Clay, Webster, Davis, Crittenden, Graves.
and a host of Union-loving patriots, men
who contcndcd openly, with an open, an,
honorable party, working above board and
in day light but with II party marshalIe,t
and represented by Hale, Wilson, Banks an,t
Giddings, men who have been, are, and al
ways will be, at work to destroy our Union
and our Country. Allow the election of q
L. :. Senator-or Senators from this State
by the present X. N. Legislators, and YOU
will aid and strengthen this band of fanatics
You allow our State to be represented by
men who can have no influence in or with
the California can have no
voice, no weight, and nothing can be done
for her. Let every true Democratic repre-
sentative look we'll to the accounts, and the
signs Of the times. The miserable X n
movement is on its last legs, and let them be
aware how they let our State to be accursed
by the influence of Know Nothing elections
to the L. S. Senate. No action of courtesy
is now due as from one great national party
to another. We are not now contendin9
with national party, but battling against
the shreos of faction, and the aspirations of
defeated politicians, and the unholy aspra-
tons of selfish men. Stand by your country
and look we'll to it, that you can face the
people on this subject. In a few short months
YOU must meet them and render your account;
remember that You arc relied upon to do
all your duty.
