CALIFORNIA.

That peace hath her victories no less re.
"nowned than War;" is On old discovery but
the victory just achieved for the Union cause in
California has, though bloodless in itself, sig
nifcance which may well dismsy the armed foes
of the American Union.
California, from the hour of tia cession to this
country, has been battle-ground between North.
ern and Southern ideas. She was made Free
State under Gen. Taylors Administration rather
by good management than by any deliberate pur.
pose on the part Of her adventurous, migratory
population. However, the food Of Southern i'm
migration had not then fairly SET in; but it soon
after became formidable, and il included many
shrewd political managers of both the Wing and
Democratic parties. Most OF tho former pro-
fessed Democracy on the subsdence Of the Amer
lean and rise of the Republican party, go that
have for years been Differed and guided by men
who had for twenty or thirty years been impla-
cattle Wings Of the Pro-Slayery stripe. The pat
roBage of the Federal Government during the
two last Administrations. but especially during
Mr. Buchanan's was thrown into the Southern
scale. tho San Francisco Cust0m,Hoase being
iaIniarly known throughout The State as 1.-THE
''Virginia PoOr-HOuse" Under this regime,
David c.. Broderick, the leader Of the Northern
Democracy, was beaten in the election OF 1859,
and soon after hunted to death. The Popular
Vote for Governor in that election stood:

Nearly half the vote for Curry was cast by
Republicans, the vote for President in 1856 hay-
ing been divided as follows:

vote of bis party in 80, when the total vote

The Regulars carried Congress, Legislature
and all the State Officers, by Overwhelming. ma

Last year, there was no State election, and the
Lincoln Electors were barely carried, the Demo.

the middle and the election Of Lincoln moral
certainty. The vote srod:

The vote for Lincoln, it will be seen. was less
than third of the total.
Such were the auspices under which the Re.
pubIicsns went into the late Elcction--the Legs-
lature and every State Office having hitherto been
adverse TO them. John CONFESS, the Douglas or
Union Democratic candidate for Governor had
been the Broderick candidate for Lieut. Govern
or in 80, and though sharing the fate Of his
party in that canvass, he was soon after chosen
from Placer County to fill n vacancy in the State
Senate, where he won distinction and popularity
so that he was supported in the late contest by
one Of the two Republican Journals in San Fran
cisco. No oDs denied that the Union ate
Douglass Democracy were as thoroughly loyal
and heartily for maintaining tho integrity Of the
Republic as were the Republicans. Bat tho
