SACRAMENTO, July 10, 1857.
Social and commercial masters jog along here as
usual. There is no revival in religions magnificent
strikes" in the mining region; in short, no excite
nent apart from politics The Republicans and
Democrats have held their Conventions, and placed
their tickets in the field. The former met here on the
9Th list, and nominated the Hon. Edward Stauly
formerly of North Carolina and long Representa-
tive in Congress from that State as their candidate
for Governor He at once accepted and went to
stumping. For Supreme Judge they have nominated
Nathaniel Bennett Of Ssn Francisco. He one of
the frst Judges that sat the California Supreme
bench which position he resigned in 1851, and is ad-
itted by the profession to be head and shoulders
legally speaking, above any man in the State.
The other nominees are Lieutenant Governor, ID.
w. Cheeseman: Controller, DIR. Lewis c. Gum;
Treasurer Leland Stanford; Attorney General, A. a.
Sargent; State Printer b. +. hendack OF Tie San
jose 7eegr0pL-the first paper in this State or in the
nation to raise the of John c. Fremont for Pres
dent. This ticket is composed of good men-honest
and capable. II is the best ticket ever presented by
any party in California, but 1t will not be elected.
Bennett stands chance Is the settlers VIII vote
for him in body; and so does Stsnly, II the Ameri-
cans and settlers and oil the opponents OF the Democ
racy unite for him, which they are not likely TO do.
The Democratic Convention met here on the 18th
INST, and nominated the following ticket: Governor
John b. Weller; Lieut.. Governor, Joseph Walkup;
Supreme Court Jadge, ). j. Field; CONTROLLER j. w.
Vaudeville; Treasurer, Thos. Findlay State Prlner

hat the whole ticket is deeply anti Droderick: So the

." N Convention assembled, and | demand, IN their
name. the removal from office of this man an tle
appointment of this" For, after all 1t is but a
quarrel for the spoi's. The "Chiys nave won .ne
battle and have right secured the Federal patron
sgs ord are entitled to it for toe next four years.
Weller will, have no doubt, be elected. Inc lrlsh
are against him now, Ut on or before eleetoh Gay
they will be whipped into the ranks as us9sl. ine
Broderick men are opposed to him now, but they
pride thems, Ives the fact that they never aaVe
boted Democratic ticket and boast that they never
will. They have not tho courage to go sSalo' 'ne
ticket. The Chivalry always have, and always VIII,
bolt any ticket or that does not sut them, and
they care little who knows it. Tney viii not vote Tor
Broderick men, whereas BrVdeick nea viii vote ioG
them when nominated readily as for anyb) dy else
Hence il is that the Chiys get all the offices IN tse
Democratic parry, because they are toe only ones
who be elected The settlers, too are opposed to
Weller, because he opposed them IN Congress, bat
have no faith that they will stand together at the
polls and work aud vote against him.
The Americans are trying to reorgan re. Tley held
a County Convention in this County-remodelea their
platform abolish ed grips and signs and passwords

State Conv entiOn 10 meet here on tbs 18th instant.
From pYt Mt appearances they will have but small
Convention, and whatever they may do will not ma.
teliay affect the result of the election Some of them
talked Of nominating Stapy bat the chivaly Will not
hear Of il. They viii either make IA iudepenc 'n'

case the result will not bs against the psnocta y.
Az between Stauly aud Weller two-;hrds Of taat par
ty would vote fol Weller. They will probably n'mi-
nate Il, met fer Judge.
The settlers too, have called State Convention ~
be held here on the 4lh of August. They wal by
acclamation nominate Bennett, and icInay DC Stany
also, for the body Of them want TO defeat Weller.
III they ard the Americans uate aud stick 10 Bep-
nett, he will be elected NJ opinion is tina, the
entire Democratic ticket will be elected, but Bennett
has q fair chance Of beating Field.
MI BrodeIics, it win be seen, although a Senator
