The Result of the Election.

The Coloma Times, a staunch Union DEM
ocraic paper, says of the result Of the late
election:
The election on the 4th inst. has fully de-
monsnated that the hearts Of Il large m"J"rl'y
OF the people of California are true to the
Union, and its preservation from the attack
OF all enemies, whether foreign or domestic
While we would have much more cause to
rejoice had the result in the State been IN
favor Of the Union Democracy, yet we have
cause to feel. in the election Of Stanford, TINT
the Union sentiment of the state las been

the disorganizers OF our countrys peace

And again:
The vote cast for the Republican nominees
on the State ticket cannot be considered as
triumph for Republicanisln, but only IA tri-

TOO LATE.


1t was folly, unpatriotic folly to divide
the Union sentiment of this State into two
parties. Day by day it grows more and
more apparent that the division was wicked
to the country and objectionable even in
politicians. The Republicans cannot be
blamed for the existence of two Union par
ties in the least. Every honorable effort
was made by the chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee to bring about an un-
derstanding with the Douglas organization,
but to no purpose. The Democracy would
not listen to any proposal Of a Union party
short of an unconditional disntcgration of
the Republican party and an absorption of
its strength by the Democracy. Some of
the most influential presses Of the Repub-
licans plead for a Union of the parties on
equal grounds, but from the so-cal.ed Union
Democracy came no reasonable response
1t became necessary for the Republicans,
under such circumstances, to assert their
right TO equalty-a right which should
have been readily conceded by the Democ-
racy, that would have suffered tctaf defeat
on many occasions but for the timely as
sistance of Republicans. The latter had
often enough rendered service to the former
to enttle them to the respect which their
aid and numbers warrant. But no Union
party, founded on an equality of parties
would be countenanced by the par-excellenee
Union Democracy. The consequences of
this bigotry and obstinacy is yet to be seen.
! We have not particle of doubt but it will
result in the total overthrow of the blind
bigots who have led the Democracy by the

positions come now for fusion, when the
appearances are unmistakable that the Re

of accommodating a trading, frightened

THE ELECrIoS.-On Wednesday next the
contest comes. Before another issue of
this paper the people of this State will be
callei on to decide through the ballot-box
who shall occupy the Offices of trust during
the two years to come. The election is a
most important one, and every citizen
should approach the polls with deep sense
of his responsibility to his country and
mankind. The election is fraught with
good or evil to the State, and no man claim

Total Republican vote of the County.

loldi hcpuDllcTtH Note OF inc OOulftV.... S,SJg
There is a wavering class in the county
which will vote portion of the Republican
ticket. This class is variously estimated TO
number from go to 400 votes. The larger
part of it is sure to vote for Stanford. Coed
judges set down Staniord's vote in the
county at 3,l00. We think, from the best
information we can gain, it yill reach in
the neighborhood of that fgnre. In view
of all the facts which have been brought to
light by Republican canvassers, it seems
certain that Stantord's plurality over Con-
ness will be some 500 ia the county. 1t
will not be less than 500.
The vote of the other two parties cannot
be determined with much az curacy We
are disposed to think the vote between tie
Dixie and Douglas parties will be close, for
the body OF the tickets.

A lIIsTAkE-a SAD MISTAKE.

We used our humble powers to elect
Abraham Lincoln President of these United
States. We have earnestly desired to sup

times we haSe not been remiss in our en-
deavors to sustain his official acts as far rs
we conscientiously could. But the sad trial
has come at last which "lpts us ont" Our
eyes are opened to the truthFthat Abraham
Lincoln, we say with all respect, is guilty
of oveisights to say the least, that may be
fatal to the greatest nation on the-face of
