Gubernatorial.
A. HAYWARD,
Members of the Committee.

The papers of the State are filled with po-
litical discussions, of which, by way of con-
venience as much as anything else we sup
pose, the Gcvernorship is made the ostensi-
bic starting point The Democratic nomina-
tion, alone, seems to be the rub" for the
acknowledged strength of the party over
shadows the opposition of any organization
existing in the State. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, the discussion as to who should
be the Democratic nominee would be left to
Democrats and the Democratic press: but in
this instance quite the reverse is the case
newspapers that have not now and never had
the least affinity for Democracy are by far
the most jealous in the discussion. Zeal,
however, frequently signifies the reverse of
sincerity; and herein we have the cue to the
present action of the anti-Democratic press.
From the very beginning of the present
Gubernatorial controversy, the newspapers
that have always opposed the Democratic
party, in some shape or other, have exerted
their utmost ingenuity to create an i'm
preston that the nomination must necessa-
rily be made by one or the other of the fac.
tions which it must be acknowledged did
once exist; and We are sorry to see that in
few instances, newspapers which supported
Mr.. Buchanan last fall have been hoodwink.
cd into the same apparent belief. How is it
that they have allowed themselves to be in
any measure committed to policy at once so
suicidal, so ant-National, and nti-Democrat-
ic, is more than we can imagine.
Is it possible that the Democracy of Cali
fornia, after having vanquished the common
enemy in one of the hardest and best fought
political battles in the history of the coun-
try, cannot remain as an unit for single
year thereafter? II this really be so, then
indeed have we fell upon an unpropitous era
in the government Of California, for never
before did the State need the advantages of
Democratic policy, harmoniously applied, so
much as now. For our own part, we look
upon the Democrat who will not now exert
all his power to maintain unity of action and
unity of purpose, as an enemy in disguise to
the party and the State. If there be fac.

stock of drugs and medicines that may be
implicitly relied upon as pure, fresh and gen.

thoroughly educated physician and surgeon,
and has had a large and highly successful ex-
perience in the practice of these branches of
science His surgical instruments are Of the
finest and most expensive manufacture, and we
regret to say that from the many frightful
mining accidents occurring in the vicinity, he
is only too frequently called upon to make use
of them.

MessrS Editors: The little cloud to which

Weghty words of warning have been given,
yet reputed wise men are still busily employ

ment Of agitation which they profess to g-
more. a political ball is being put in motion
which may prove very difficult to stop. Ri
val leaders IN the Democratic party are mar
shaling their forces, not to battle against a
common foe, but their object and aim is to
strike each other down. Dissension grows
rampant, and the very men to whom better
things were attributed lead in the highway to
sectional contention. Their policy if adopted
will just as surely divide the Democracy of
this State as effect is sure to follow cause
This early and earnest action is rightly read,
and Notwithstanding the emphasis with which
the purpose is disavowed, the people under
stand that factions speak louder than words.
1t may be that the appointments made by the
President in this State suit neither of our L
5. Senators, yet the men appointed are per-
haps as true to and efficient in the party as
the disappointed An issue upon these an
pointments will prove profitable to nobody,

Democratic party will push it into the can

the Constitution; its provisions are broad as
the country; spirit of compromise and true
conservatism pervaded in and governed the
convention in which it was made. With the

of each, and their faith was mutually plighted
