THE aUBERNAToRIAL NOMINATION IN cAIIFoR-
MIA

We take great pleasure in laying before our read
ers the following eloquent speech Of John Nugent,
esq, editor of the San Francisco Herald, withdraw
ing his name from the convention candidate for
governor. To Mr.. Nugent especially, we understand
is due the credit Of carrying the city and county Of
San Francisco for Mr.. buchanan, and the democracy
Of California may well congratulate itself upon hav-
ing, the editor of its leading press who has
few equals among the journalists of this OF any other
country. He has opened the canvass with telling
effect
Of the San Francisco Herald.
Mr.. Truett of San Francisco, said that as he knew
it was Mr.. Nugents intention to withdraw, he asked
that he might do SO in person.
The name of Judge McCorkle, of Butte, was then
placed in nomination by Mr.. Mckee.
Mr. Nugent then made his appearance on the plat
form, and was introduced to the convention by the
chairman, when he was saluted with cheers and APP
plausc from all factions present:
Mr. Nugent said Mr. President and gentlemen of the
convention my motive in first entering into this contest
aside from that natural ambition every man has to receive
honorable recognition at the hands of his feowctzens
was principally, to vndicae the course deemed it my
duty to pursue certain questions by which the public
mind of California was greatly agated one year ago.
cannot doubt that the principles which, by my candidacy
desired to illustrate and uphold, dear to the
hearts Of the democrats Of this convention they
mine and / satisfied the wishes of the democracy
in regard to the goyemorshp Enthusiastically point in
another direction, most conentedly and cheerul
withdraw my name from this canvass.
Indeed, deem it discredt to retire before the
perior claims of gentlemen who have borne disn-
guished part in the councils of the nation, have
those whom find. by accident in competition with me
for suages 1t is needless to say that with all zeal and
fidelity, shall cordially support the nominees Of this
convention In doing So shall be but upholding the
same principles for which you and and all of con
tended last fall in efforts to raise to the presidency the
present venerated Chief Magistrate of the United States
James Buchanan. Such fight never fail to enlist
my most enthusiastic support,
who in their too partial favor, deemng, perhaps they
in me- young man. some promise Of future useful
ness have exercised their influence in this contest warmly
in my behalf VIII you hold it not indolicac in me tc
tender to those gentlemen my most heartfelt thanks foi
their friendly and conding regard, and to say to them
that in my zeal for the interest the honor and the sue
of the democratic party, while life remains to me,
shall endeayor in sort to justify their good opinion
During Mr.. Nugent's remarks he was frequently
interrupted by the most enthusiastic applause and
on concluding three hearty cheers were given.

THE BRITISH WAR WITH CHINA.

The great mutiny in India has in measure, with
drawn public attention, both sides Of the Atlantic,
from the now waging in China, and which APP
pears to be conducted in way hitherto unknown to
and unpractised by outside barbarians in that dis
tant quarter of the globe. The mode of conducting
offensive operations by the British naval forces is
thus noticed in late number of the Journal of Com
merce:
sThe British war with China has many phases and
characteristics peculiar to itself 1t is singular fact
that while the British naval forces destroying all the
forts and burning all the vessels of the Chinese in the
Canton river there is disturbance at Annoy Fuchau-
FOO Ming po and Shanghae AT these places trade
tinues uninterrupted and there warlike demon
strations either side Nor in passing up Canton
river does it appear that the British naval forces moesed
the villages the residents in boats which throng the
river. Their object seemed to be the destruction Of
unks, and the really to be between the
of the junks and the foreigners than between the
two nations to which they respectively belong.
lisa well known facttha all Chinese vessels which
ure beyond the mouths of the rivers armed and most
of them the personal property of high low mandarns
who have thousands of the poor people the shore
stantly at their beck and call If these junks have any
nationality it is derived not from Pekn, but from the
rank of their mandarin owners, who are generally SNUG
gles OF opium or other contaband articles and are ole
rated by the government of Pen because it cannot get
rid of them without offending their thousands of interest
ed retaners.
Ihe p0lCy OF war with emma dlfierS IN all respects
from the true policy Of with other nations. The
five ports opened to foreign by process
of compulsion to which the court of Pekn will
again submit 1t is said and believed by many that the
absolute session of HongKong to Britain obtained
by diplomatic trick and that the Chinese character of
the treaty only gave the British the privilege to careen
and repair their ships the island of that Ger
tain it is that the Chinese commissioner who made the
blunder, who submitted to it, afterwards banshed
to Tartary The five ports opened most grudgngly
for China wants commerce with other nations,
To blockade the ports, therefore, would be annoy
to the empire indeed it would be exactly what is
most desired by that government essential service
for we, than they benefited by foreign trade
with those ports That aid and comfort, which other
nations under similar circumstances, would derive from
free in time of war; would be actually afforded
China by efficient blockade.
'sWe too apt to overlook the wide differences be-
tween war with China and with any European or
American nation and to form conclusions upon the prem
ises without due regard for these differences 1t only
by critical inquiry into the exact condition of the
Chnesether peculiar characteristics socially and polt
icay that approach correct estimate of the
conflict in which they engaged"

THE NEW TERRITORY OF ARIZONA.

The following resolutions unanimously adopt
ed by the Southern Commercial Convention at Knox
vile, upon the motion of Lieut.. Mowry, who briefly,
but very forcibly, advocated their passage There
can be no doubt of the necessity for early legisa-
ton upon the subject of this important Territory
less state Of our ellowcitxens residents OF the Cadsen
purchase and its peculiar and wonderful resources is
the duty Of the general government to extend il
that protection to which every American citizen is
titled and that this convention fully endorses the Justice of
the memorial of the citizens of the Gadsden purchase for
separate territorial organization which is herewith
submitted.
g. Resoirc5 That this convention looks with great in
terest to the successful establishment of the overland
mairoute to California via I'll Paso and Fort Yuma and
to the construction of the southern Pacific railroad and
as the route selected by the Postmaster General the
great thoroughare to the Pacific trayerses the Gadsden
purchase throughout its entire length the necessity for
the proposed territorial organization becomes imperative
for the protection of the tertoythe travel and inter-
course which must pass through it,
g. Reod That, in view of the fact that port the
Gulf of California is necessary for the supply of Pa
ciic possessions Utah. New Mexico California and the
Gadslen purchase the Mexican government, in
the original treaty negotiated by minister to Mexico
General James Gadsdcn conceded southern boun-
dary than the adopted by the Senate of the United
States it recommended TO the government at Washing
ton in any future negotiation with Mexico to acquire the
boundary thus lost to u.s. and also port the Gulf OF
California depot for the export and import of the
great mineral and agricultural products of the newyac-
quired territory.
A. ResolUd That the president Of this convention do

LETrER FRoM KANSAS.

We give in another part of our paper long and
interesting letter Kansas affairs. Our corresponds
ent marvels that the Union should heretofore have
contained so little in the shape of correspondence
from Kansas 1t is very susceptible of explanation
but il is not necessary to go into that matter now.
But we beg to say to "Keytone" that as he seems to
have the WILL and certainly has the capacity, to keep
us posted up in the political movements in Kansas
he will lay us under many obligations by doing so.
We shall at all times lay his communications before
the readers of the Union with great pleasure.
