EDITOR DEMOCRAT The Governor has, as
was expected appointed Charles Lindcy
Esq, to the County Judgeship. As was ex-
pected, l say, because there were cogent and
sufficient reasons to render e elevation OF
Mr. Lindlcy almost certain. First, Mr.. Lind
ley was unpopular, not only before the peo-
pie but with his own party; not only with
! his own party but with his own faction; not
only with his own faction, but with his sub
division Of that faction, lie is unpopular |
say, and John b. Weller, that great Ex.tri-
bune of the People, has theory Of bis own
concerning popular clamor" lie has found
out that it is to no mans dscredit, that he is
unloved of the people Besides, the Cover
nor has great respect for the rights of mi
norities. Mr. Lindley had pocertiA minori-
ty with and for him. No delegate in the
Democratic Judicial Convention of this Dis
trict, which met last July voted for him, al
though he had been a candidate for the Dis
trict Judgeship for two years or thereabouts
The Lecompton bogus Martin House County
Convention refused to endorse him In fact,
Mr.. Lindley was fully entitled to all the
favor which those who are in the minority
find with John B. Weller, and other great
lights of the great Lecompton minority rule
advocates.
Mr.. Weller has not forgotten that Gray and
Lppincott were nominated for the State Sen
ate in 1856, and that Mr. Lindley helped beat
them, because they were Broderick men in
stead of Weller men. Possibly Mr. Weller
looks ahead to the time when the same tac-
tics will be necessary in order to beat anti
Weller nominees for the Legislature who are
not Broderick men. lie has his eye on the
L. :. Senatorship, and who so well fitted to
lead a boiling opposition to all anti Weller
nominees as Judge Lindley?
We all know that his Excelency is not fool
enough to reward past favors lie is ensur-
ing future ones. Dogs never wag their tails
after being fed. The Lecomptonites must
have Weller for their master, or Judge Lind
ley will teach them some of the things he
learned during that pure and refreshing sea
son, the campaign of 1856.
Mr.. Lindley's late partner is owner of one
third of the California Express, and l take it
for granted that he will feel as kindly to
Weller as the circumstances shall seem to de-
mand. The snarlings of the S. f. National,
at our Lecompton organ, arise. perhaps from
the fact that Gwin is supplanted in the lat
ter's affections, by his old colleague Weller
The Express and Judge Lindley can DO much
for Gov. Weller, and perhaps his Exccllcncy
will come to Odmiring that valuable journal,
as much as he did during the latter days of
its first and best editor, C'the best democratic
editor in the State0. Where is Benjamin
Ezra Stiles Ely with his one hundred endor.
sers? Weller feared him most, when he APP
pointed Lindley. The contest was between
those two / &uop The reason probably was
that Ely was most unpopular in the county,
while Lindey occupied the same position in
the city. Between the two, perhaps Ely
"laid over Lindley little, as the L'hoys say,
but then Weller relies but little on the coun
try for boilers. Morysyile furnishes the
brood, and their Captain has been rewarded
| should have stated that when the delegates
to the Judicial Convention were elected last
summer there was no split in the democratic
party The United Democracy of Yuba are
therefore rebuked 10y John b. Weller in this
appointment of Judge Lindley.
