Hon. EDwARD STANLEY BLACK REPUBLICAN, CAM
DIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF CALIFoRN1A.--Some men
are afflicted with an unconquerabe thirst for noto-
riety. II it can be achieved legitimately and no
temptation is offered for sacrifice Of principle, they
pass through life with the reputation OF patriots, but
If on the other hand the road to honest preferment
is INSTRUCTED, and by an INSCRIPTIONS surrender 0.
faith, or a shameless Abandonment of friends and
home, they purchase place, the world is not left
in doubt long to what intensity of public scorn and
odium they deserve. Edward Stanley was member
of Congress from North Carolina, slave state, ana
he must be most stupidity credulous who believes that

Mr. Stanley has not deliberately weighed the chances
and deserted the South upon careful calcuatlon OF

Brief however, is the triumph and bitter the retri-
button which follows such apostacy. Men may love
the treason, but they "hate the traitor
We think our Mobile contemporary unduly excited
in regard to Stanley. We also think his attention, il
turned in the direction of Kansas, Washington, Gov
Walker and President Buchanan, would be better ap
Piled than it now is in seeking objects upon which tc
visit indignation on the arof golden shores, of free
State California. California is free State-came
into the Union as a free State-and will always re
main free State. Even before its admission there
was as little doubt as there is of the inclination
of majority Of its people regarding the establish
ment of a proslavery an antisavery constitution
The populace of California were decidedly antislavery
from the start, and are more strongly antislavery

which wrong and fraud he is sustained and endorsed
by the President of the United States, who owes his

South?
