Union leaders in that State are in favor
of Universal or Impartial suffrage. 1t
would appear that the speeches Of
Haight on this point, are making q very
serious impression against the Union
party, and demanding a distinct and
emphatic reply in denial. We have
never feared the result in California ex-
cep, on this ground; lest the interpreta-
ton some FASTENED to place on Cor
hams first letter on the Chinese Immi-
grafton question should be made to hold
in the minds ola majority of the peo-
pie.
We notice that the opposition jour.
nails copy the article of the Carson APP
peal, in reply to the Reese River RcpsiAe
on the Chinese suffrage question, in
which the writer hoped to see the Chi
nese voting in this State, and urge that
it was written by a next friend Of Cor
hams, and one who only speaks in ac-
cordance with Gorham's political views,
and who is at the Bay now as q Cor
ham editor. But Gorham, a. Governor,
cannot order Universal suffrage for CAL
~ifornia, no matter how great an auto
crat no may attempt to be, nor a he
"lobby" such a proposition through
the Legislature and force it on the vote
Of the people. still we fear that the
enemy will have a heavy accession of
strength, simply tor the reason given
above. And it is TOO plain for denial,
that the Union papers of California en-
terrain this apprehension; and are lee
turing accordingly.
So far IS we have noticed, only one
county has pronounced, through Union
Convention, for suffrage irrespective of
race or color, and that county, (Alame-
da) has nominated for the Assembly a
man who has recently deliberately ar
gued that negroes were so far inferior
10 whites, that they should not be al

Lodges.
The Examiner is certainly doing all ii
can to further the interests Of the Union
party. 1t keeps up its old chivalry song,
which will sicken any sensible Union
man, who has an inclination to vote fol
Haight, and who reads the sheet before
he decides to so far bolt the nominations
as to vote against Gorham. The Sac.
ramsnto Union 10 losing its temper, and,
proportionately, losing its influence
II complains Of assertions about it, made
by cotemporaries,-cslling them false,
etc.,-while it republishes all the noto-
rious lies of the Bulletin and Call against
Gorham and Mccarthy, with approving
prefsces. Really, there is no force
against the Union ticket now, in Cal,
i~fornia, to be seriously dreaded, except
in the Coolie question.
The Union, Of yesterday, snarIs and
snaps bitterly at Gorham, and says that
he will after the election " find himself
about twenty thousand votes in the
minority" and adds:
eve are daily accommodating fresh
proofs that the county guerrilla press is
engaged in q systematic f~alsi6cation Of
public sentiment. A fortnight ago we
did not think the detection to Gorham

the counties Of San Francisco, Sacra.
mento and Yolo. We now know from a
number Of private letters and other
sources Of information quite reliable,
that the Convention tricksters are az
much detested and as weak among
Union men in the counties Of Nspa,
Lake, Nevada and Placer, as here.

The Union 10 evidently in a weaving
way. 1t has been so accustomed to
attack this or that man, or proposition,
and then have the country papers fall
into line and chorus, and furnish the
"Capital organ" items for copying in
the endorsing column, that now, when
without 3 fawning or following train Of
"little interiors;" it is lost in wrath.
Where it used to hear "That's So" for
a response to the apostolic utterances
of st. Anthony, when it would flop its
angelic wings, patrouiziugly, on the
back of the little country cherub,) it
now gets a gutteral $50 to hi" in
dicative of acquired manhood and indif-
ference to the Union ~liquorice, on the
part Of those lately independent of its
royal "Independsnce." We like to see
the Union showing mad. It's 9 good
sign, in every respect. We prefer, in
this fight, the Union to the Bulletin, for
the former has human emotional quail
tiles which the latter does not possess.
The Bulletin is utterly and exclusively
msrcenary. 1t fought for the infamous
Peter Smith title, and against the con
solidation bill and the bulkhesd, and
for the rebellion, and for the SKATER
Land Bill, and for every other iniquity,
and against this or that wrong or right,
according to pay or prospects. The
Union is not so entirely devoid Of every
passion but avarice. It will work for
money, as long al the revenue keeps
coming in, on a certain line, and then,
to crafty a different impulse, it will
flop and fight the other way. The
Union's course, If "nothing to brsg Of"
over the Buletin's, has points in char
actsr Manifestation that make it moro
interesting. Whom there is no money
in e project, the Union car talk on out
side motives; but the Bulletin is dumb
until there is pay in sight.
