but being on the ticket where be is, associated
with the enemies of the Government, will be
sufficient to ensure bis defeat by the usual ma,
jorities given against Copperheads and Seces
sioniss. We are well aware that the opposi-
ton are trusting to the boiling faction in the
various counties for strength and support TO
their ticket in the resent contest, but we are
assured that they will be utterly mistaken.
The Union masses will rally TO the support of
Judge Sanderson, the nominee of the Union
Convention, and that he will be elected by
majority of at least twenty thousand, We have
not the least shadow of doubt.
If there was any reasonable ground for com
plaiut in consequence of Judge Sanderson's
nomiuation, possibly the disaffected part Of the
Union men might go over to Hartley, as be is
not much known outside of Sacramento, but
inasmuch as Judge Sanderson has met the ex-
pectations of his most sauguine friends as
we'll as command the respect and admiration
of his opponents, it is almost wasting time TO
write an article on the subject-so we will
conclude BY saying that Mr.. Hartley may be
very good looking, but can't come in.
CoPPERHEAD STATE CONVENTIONAL con-
vention was held at Sacramento on Tuesday
last to resurrect the Copperhead Democracy,
and place before the people candidate for
Supreme Judge. They assembled in the Me,
thodst Church, South, and temporarily organ
lied by calling j. P. Hoge to the chair The
list of delegates shows that Butte county was
fully represented as follows: "Butte-A Kirby
w. NJ. Ord. j. L. Henshaw, George w.
Lynch, james Montgomery, 5. Sproul. and J.
S. Crane" Three of the above delegates
were present at tie Bolter convention held at
Fences, but took no part in the proceedings,
yet supported the ticket. We understand the
democratic Central Committee" at some
time, and at some point unknown to US, met
and appointed aforesaid delegates.
c. Taylor, of Nevada, nominated H. H.
Hartly of Sacramento, and D. w. Gelwicks,
of Fl Dorado, nominated Royal T. Sprague,
of Shasta. Upon the first ballot Hartley
received 40, and Sprague 5S-the Butte
delegates supporting the latter.
The platform adopted opposes negro suf-
frage the sale of the nine, military courts,
and favors the Monroe doctrine, hard money
and the restoration of "fraternai relations"
between the people Of the several States.
After appointing State Central Committee
the convention adjourned. The scare" ex.
perenced BY the California Express that the
Boilers might secure a quasi Uuion man as
the judicial nominee, is over, and its demands
fully satisfied. The Southern Democracy"
rallied and secured a sound rebel sympathiser,
an Englishman, for seat on the Supreme
bench. The next point to be made is to draw
the democratic" yoke on the Boilers through
out the State, and will urge it as duty incum-
bent upon them from the fact of the hearty
support given to them by the Copperhead
Democracy. Although having lost all their
power as party, the Southern unterrihed
have not forgotten how to whip into their
ranks weak kneed and easy bought voters
BAD ARGUMENrs-There are a few men
in the Union party who argue that the mission
of that party is fulfilled, and therefore should
be disbaoded 1t cannot but be otherwise
than that those who thus talk know they are
asserting an untruth, and they can be set down
as having 10 other object in view than that of
getting into place and power to serve their in
divdual interests. 1t is true we have passed
through great war of four years, and The
flowing of blood upon the battlefield is stop
ped, but are the causes which led to this great
destruction of life and outlay of treasure wiped
out. Give into the hands of the so-called
Democracy the power, under the leadership of
such men as Vallaudigham and his doughaced
