CALIFORNIA ELECTION.

-=sszs CALIFORNIA ELECTION. ~ss~-- -
Mr.. Douglas strength in California is
measured; and it is nothing. Mr.. Buchanan
and his friends rule the roost. The RePub-
licans have hoped for, have expected moth
ing; and they are not disappointed. Their
Congressman are defeated, and their State
ticket has gone under; but they have no
tears to shed. They knew what the result
would be when they went into the fight.
Deceived by the Boosting and gasconade OF
the Douglas men, they have lately hoped
that an union with them might save the
Congressional delegation; but in that they
we're sold. The loud talk and furious ges-
ticuation of Broderick and his crew prove
to be nothing but wind and dumb-show.
hook and line, bob and sinker, tail and
horns everything is gone; and the coalition
has come to naught. We are not astonished.
Douglassm is a negative quantity every
where. The legal exclusion Of Slavery from
territory in which it may legally remain! is
a shibboleth that cannot be often repeated,
even on the Pacific coast. Even Cinnamon
would boot at it in broken English after its
third proclamation With an union with
the Douglas men, and with such a war cry,
the Republicans of that State must have
been dsheartened. They could not fight !;
and we must not blame their inaction.
The lesson taught by this election must
not be forgotten. 1t is valuable in other
States where coalitions are talked of and
we trust that it will be needed. Republican
strength is in Repub!icanism, not in miser-
able makeshifts, and dishonorable cOnpro-
misses. II we cannot win with our princi-
pies, which, by their simplicity, necessity
and justice, are patent to everybody, We
hope in vain for success to follow bargains
in which those principles are sacrificed for
the greed Of place; and in which the lie Of
Doug lassm is yoked with the truth which
Republicans profess. 1t is a lesson worth
learning g. Chicago Press and Tribune.

beneficial as a counter irrritant to an editor

creation rather severe to take.
