CALIFORNIA POLITICS.

In recent article we took occasion to expose the
character Of the opposition to the administration in
California and to comment upon the factious attempt
of the ntiLecompton aconists to distract and break
down the party which they had previously failed to
nnoculate with the cant and Of anti-s slavery
Defeated in the primary elections and thus bafed in
their aim of converting the California democracy to
the purposes of Seward and Gddings the oonspira-
tors have struck hands with tho black-repubicans,
fusing upon nominations and chanting with
equal voice the praises Of Broderck and McKibbin.
AS this lastnamed gentleman has received the some
what equivocal compliment of q nomination for Con
gress at the hands of the Douglas-boters and the
black-republicans we think fit to say word upon
this point of opposition trickery.
The election called by Gov. Weller, and which
took place in the early part Of this month, was for
Judge Of the supreme court and comptroller of the
State. There was no election called for members Of
Congress, for the very good and sufficient reason
that by law enacted at the last session OF the leg
isature, the period Of election for members Of Con-
gross was fixed for the ensuing year. In due time,

therefore, the governor viii issue his call for al
election. 1t will be held, and we hazard nothing il
predicting that two sound national democrats viii
be returned to the next House Rep esentaves For
this reason the democracy have made no nominations
at their late convention, and Coy. Weller has issued
no call for an election.
The black-republicans, on some pretext or other
of which we are not advised affirm that tho late law
fixing the period of election for next year was I'M
constitutional, and have put up as candidates for
Congress Messrs. Tracy and McKibbin. We regard
this step purely frivolous and designed to escape
the effect of direct appeal to public opinion upon
cares that the times places, and manner of hold
ing elections for senators and representatives shall
be prescribed in each State by the legislature there
Of" This would seem to be pretty good warrant
for the action Of the California Legislature in their
act Of the last session. but if further authority be
desired and "higher law" invoked, according to
the wont and custom of tho purer moralists Of the
opposition we shall cite Mr. MeKibbn himself,
their own nominee,) who VIGOROUSLY exerted his
whole influence to procure the passage Of the law in
question. 1t is fair to presume that statesman Of
his sagacity did not overlook the constitutional
question involved. The law having been placed
on the statute-book by his sanction and aided
by his influence, designed moreover for his own
peculiar benefit, he now comes forward and pro-
tional We are not able exactly to square such pro-
ceedings with tho more sublimatcd code Of ethics,
which revolted at the Lecompton constitution and
the position of the President but we take it for
granted they at least as just6able as the claw
full exclusion of slavery in violation of the bred
Scott decision and volunteered promises of good
behavior, which lasted nearly the whole way from
Washington to Chicago.
Mr., McKibbin, we perceive, has selected his
colleagues (Mr. Scott's county in which to de-
fend his course and assail the administration. lie
did this in the absence of his colleague upon the
Atlantic coast. The immediate motive for the Sc
lection of this special field of display does not
appear. AS he said nothing on the floor of Con-
gress last session pro or con upon any measure,
whether of public nature OF affecting his own
State, it may be that he speaks simply to
show the people that he has not lost his voice, and
that he could speak at least when to divide tho dem
ocratic party was presented as his inducement.
Or, his county, Sierra had decided in an over
manner against him to sustain the admin
istraton perhaps he concluded he had better try his
hand elsewhere. But, whatever his motive, we sus-
pect his eloquence will not amount to much in mis-
leading the democracy, and we will guaranty that
his able colleague viii not hesitate to encounter him
in the discussion Of these issues in any form he may
select whether it be that of the people Of their
in Congress-.
