SwELLnEADs AND SoREuEADs.-The Sacra-
mento Bee, the editor of which is a Repub-
lican, calls the Stanfordites, who are the ia
vored office seekers, the Swelhcads and the
Phelpsites, among whom are all the disap-
pointed applicants, the Soreheads; and thus
specuates upon the relation in which these
two Republican wings stand to each other
Unless the party is TO be ruptured, one
at, Il,
ors and cmouments. The Soreheads, then,
if beaten in the delegation to the State Con-
vention, must have the foremost seats upon
the county ticket and if they don't get them,
the party will be, beyond peradventure,
badly beaten in this county, at least.
In this view of the case-and it is the
proper one, as every man who knows any
thing of political matters must admit-the
candidates for local offices who favor the
Swellhead ticket will, if that succeed, either
be defeated for nomination, or what is worse
at the election. And so Of the other ticket.
If the Sorehead ticket win, and the Conven-
tion shall choose anti Stanford men to the
State gathering, they must place Swellheads
on the county ticket or completely destroy
the efficiency of the party in the coming
campaign. This is a two edged sword which
cuts and carves at n fearful rate, and hews
down those who WELD it just as readily as
those who do not. Many a man, who, to-
day, thinks he is beyond its reach, or that it
will only be exercised to protect him, will
discover before many days that he vounta
rly placed his head within its swing, and
that he is decapitated; and it this Claymore
of Damocles don't fall on him within that
time, it will be suspended above him to irri-
tate and annoy until election comes and then
make n,ince-meat Of his hopes Whichever
party takes the State delegation must give
the other the county ticket, or the choice of
places thereon, else defeat is certain.
The SwELLs AND THE SoREs.-The Repub-
licans did make a great cry against the Dem
ocras for their Tammany tactics and using
Federal patronage to control the party, yet
when they get into place they do the same
thing
"When the Devil was Sick the Devil a monk would
When The Devil got well, the Devil a monk was he"
They can't hope to carry county or State
with this feeling abroad. Ifthey desire sue
cess, they should either divde-(and they
may do that anyway for we hear that a
large proportion OF the county delegation is
for the Sore -heads)--the State delegation
and the county nominees, giving each wing a
fair show; or take full State delegation of
5well-heads and give the Sore-heads the
places on the county ticket. This latter the
Swclis might DO with much grace and profit
by it, too; fer from present appearances the
county ticket Will be sorcIy whipped --tSac.
