We would De glad to think as favorably
Sacramento, as ofits congener headed
. by Currey. In viewsof the prospect Of
he last made ticket giving officers to the
state for the next two years we would
that it were fthe best possible materi-
nj. But it is not so. Truth compels every
free-speaking man to say the ticket of
'he Lecomptons is not, by any means, the
best that could have been made.
Though in no manner sympathizing with
That party, or entertaining for it a super
abundance Of respect. we could not think
so meanly of it as 10 admit its selection
Of standard bearers to be from the very
best material the party afforded. There
is Milton s. Latham. He is considered
by many the best man on the list, and
perhaps he is. He has been in Congress
and the Custom House, and, to use his
own language, wallowed in the "airty
pool of politics pretty extensively.
But there could have been found men in
fhe party who could have got along on
the stump without using whole speeches
belonging to somebody else. 1t is true
shese borrowed speeches may dojust as
we'll with the crowds he will be called on
to address and perhaps the saying of DR..
Franklin may be opposite to Milton's
case-that it is better to use good dis
courses of others, than poor ones ofyour
own,-yet we would suggest there are
quite as ornamental and far moro use
full birds Than the parrot to be had any
day. Milton is good fnancier, knows
the difference between nseasm and teaza
in a trade to hair, understands that
Democrats of the localities. where the
initerant spouters of the party hold forth
pay all expenses and has Ais charged
properly on the books, and is a gentle
man of pretty good habits, drinking.
when he does drink, tut garen quantity
ofliquor. Milton will do for California
Governor. Hoge or Denver would have
done better.
DR.. Downey, the candidate for Lieut.
enant Governor passes for first class
fellow. We know nothing whatever to
his discredit. He is tolerably liberal
we hope in his notions of men and will
preside with impartiality if not ability
in the Senate.
For Supreme Judge the Lecomptons
passed over the best men oftheir party,
and picked up a very unnoted lawyer,
one Cope ofAmador. Cope has never
set the world on fire and never will.
Perhaps we ought to be thankful he is
harmless, but cannot, in contemplating
his nomination, but repeat Cicero's la
ment,-"O, tempora; O, Mores."
J. c. Burch and G. L. Scott are put
forth Cor Congress-to become members
of that body of which once Webster
Clay and Calhoun, were large integral
parts. Burch has served three years in
the State Legislature and many more
the Democracy. The "great North y
wanteda candidate and was kindly sup
piled. They asked for King Log and
got him. Burch is ofthe same class and
grade intellectually as Meredith, and if
elected will represent California in the
Congress of the United States at a ID
of rate. Scott had to be endorsed to
suit old Mister Buchanan and the Virgi-
MIA Poor House. Scott is terrible
worker for the true interests of Califor-
MIA, we are told. The country would
have collapsedif lie had been thrown
overheard by the party For the sal
walton of the Union We are glad he is
. nominated.
Tho extraordinary able opinions
luminously set forth by Attorney Gen.
Williams during the two years of his
term, could net be overlooked by his
party. Tom had to be kept as the
legal adviser of the State. 1t wasn't
deemed exactly safe to risk change and
"Clay-bank" wasn't turned out to grass,
in the spring time Of his-life, hopes and
aspirations.
Charley Fairfax is one of'those good,
orgnsd-for- nothing, fellows, that nobody
can oppose. He has many good quail
tiles, is eecial and generous toa fault,
and what isbetter, is in big luck to find
so efficient Deputy as Dave Bagley
(alias, Dismal Jeems'') to take charge
of the Clerks office Dave will make
..if elected" capital Clerk.
Tom Findley, for Treasurer. That
sihe most popular nomination on the
ticket. His popularity is enhanced by
