HENRY EDGERToN ON GoRHAM.-In letter
dated June l7th written from the East to
his brother, Henry Edgerton thus speaks Of
the Union nominee for Governor
You speak of Bidwell, Pixley and Gorham
as nspirants for the position Of Governor of
California, and express your preference for
Bidwell / know them all through and
through My choice is Gorham. and |
rejoice to learn, by a telegraphic dispatch in
the New York papers of Saturday last, that
he was nominated by decided majority, on
the first ballot. | rejoice also to think that
the Union vote of your State is strong enough
to make his nomination equivalent to an
election. In educational ability, political
information and sagacty he is infinitely
superior to either of his competitors; as to
integrity. he is honest John BidwelPs peer
and this being so. | have no doubt will insure
in your judgment an honest administration of
YOUR State government. SO far as it depends
on the Governor, for the next four years.
With all his other good qualities. he pos
sesses that rare merit among politicians, of
being n steadfast, faithful friend George
Gorham never deceived anybody, and is
incapable of it. l predict for him brilliant
and successful administration, and sincerely
hope you may find it consistent with your
feelings and obligations to others to give him
your vote and earnest support.

Democracy

On THE DErENsIyE.-Almost every issue
Of the Sacramento Union and San Francisco
Bulletin, since the adjournment ofthe Union
State Convention, has contained bitter de-
nunciations and vile Misrepresentation of
George C. Gorham and his supporters =
Believing that it was his duty, as the stan
dard bearer of the Union party, to refute the
false charges and expose the designs of these
papers, Gorham opened his batteries on them
at Sacramento and San Francisco, and in TIE
estimation Of every candid man in the State,
completely turned their positions and drove
them from the field demoralized and defeated
They are now busy in hunting up statements
and quotations to prove their loyalty, and
vindcate their reputation for truth and fair
ness but doubling public receives their
assertions with distrust, and turns to more
consistent journals to find political truth
The Bulletin and Union are now on the
defensive, while Gorham and the cause be
represents are marching grandly on to
victory. The truth will find its way to the
hearts and understandings of the people, and
these papers may as well recognize the fact
and cease their warfare against those who
are upholding the Right and opposing
Wrong.

I. Look at the Platforms.


The Democratic papers and stump speak
ers throughout the State have raised per-
feet howl about the Union party being in
favor Of importing Cinnamon into this State
Parties are judged by their platforms and
in order to g We our readers an opportunity of
seeing how this Chinese question stands, we
give below the resolution relating to this
matter of both the Union and Democratic
platforms. The Democratic resolution is as
follows:
Resolved, That the power to regulate
iorelgn emigration being vested in Congress,
IT is the duty of that body to protect the Pa
clhc States and Territories from an undue
influx of Chinese and Mongolians, and it is
the duty Of the Legislature Of this State to
petition Con rress to endeavor to obtain the
adoption of such regulations as shall accom-
plish this object
Now, who is to decide what number Of
Chinese immigrants constitute an g undue
influx" Is the number already here con-
sidered an undue influx" by the trainers
of the Democratic platform, or would The
immigration of thirty or forty thousand more
be necessary to come up to their undue
influx" standard? The language of the res,
o.ution directly implies that the Democratic
party is to certain extent in favor of the
importation of Chinese into this State.
Now read the following resolution from
the Union platform;
Resolved, That the importation of Chinese
or any other people of the Mone olan race
into the Pacific States or Territories, is in
every respect injurious and degrading to
American labor, by forcing it into unjust
and ruinous competition, and an evil that
should be restricted by legislation and abatcd
by such legal and constitutional means as
are in our power.
Here we have clear ard explicit resolu-
ton declaring the importation of Chinese
injurious in every respect, and pledging the
Union party in favor of its restriction and
abatement by all legal and constitutional
means. The Democrat who asserts that the
Union party is in favor Of the importation of
Chinese to this coast has 10 authority
whatever for the statement The Union
platform is far more explicit and emphatic
on that point than tha. put forth by the
Democracy.
