In ERROR.-The Sacramento Mercu-
ry says the secret circular was sent to
all the Wing editors in the State. The
Sacramento Union denies that the docu-
ment was sent to that paper, and inti-
mates it was rather opposed to the dem
ocracy at the time The circular was
not sent to the Journal, and we imagine
this paper was utterly opposed to the
democracy then and ever since.
