LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SAN
JOAQUIN UNION COUNTY COMMITTEE.
STOCKTON, July 26th. 1867.

HAoShiO-N, Jun -OlIl, lCOi.
GEO. c. GoRHAM, Eso.-Dear Sir: Your
speech in this city on Wednesday evening
last, contained so clear and positive ii state
ment in regard to the tide land and Western
Pacific Railroad bills of the last session of
the Legislature and you took so unequivocal
a stand against the revival of those measures,
that your enemies are resorting to gross
misstatements concerning your language by
way of breaking the force Of the blows you
administered. In view of this have thought
that it might be well to have the public in
formed upon unmistakable authority, as to
what you really did say on the occasion re-
ferred to As your speech was not reported,
1 take the liberty of asking You, If you can
spare time from your wearisome labors. to let
me have for publication the language used bv
you in the speech referred to upon the sub
ject named
Your bold plainness of speech will satisfy
all fair minded men, if the entire people, as
well as those whom you are able to address,
can only be permitted to know what YOU say.
am very truly yours,

NOBLE SESTIMENTs.-In his late speech in

To my mind the mere election to the office
of Governor would not of itself be success.
True ambition mounts higher. It is not
satisfied with securing place, but labors
afterwards tc deserve the good opinions of
good people. l would rather never be Gov
ernor than to have it said that as Governor
had failed to meet the just expectation of
the people of this city and of the State.

RECONSTRUCTION.

The Congressional policy seems to be
going ahead gIoriously. The Southern
leaders have at last learned that Andrew
johnson is humbug aud a braggsrt,
utterly Powerless against the will of a
great people. and Lee, Johnston, Beaure
gard, aud mary others, are counssliug
submission to the necessity Of their posi-
ton. The uegEo has suddenly risen in
their estimation. The ludicrous per
formances of Wade Hampton at Charles
ton, is being followed up all over the
South. A few sullen and resolute rebels
still hold out, refuse to accept the terms
offered, ard threaten to renew the rebell-
ion at the 6rst opportunity. However.
these gentlemen ars no longer dangerous.
BY the census of 1860, the seeding states
had nearly &. 100000. blacks, aud about
5250.0O0 whites. Now that the negro
has become a voting citizen, the two al
most balance each other. Meanwhile. the
power and wealth of the loyal states is in
cressing ~ a gigantic ratio, and new
states sre being constantly added to the
list. There is steady emigration to th e
South, and this will increaee to a wonder
full ex,ent so soon as the rebel states are
fairly in the Union, and social order is
once more restored. 10 ten years from
now, the old slsveholding element will
have become an insignificant faction of
the whole, having no formidable power
for evil.
The world does novel Principles,
of whose success the friends of progress,
years ago, almost despsired, are now
pushing straight forward to triumph,
We shall soon be citizens of such a Re-
public as We may well rejoice aSd be
proud to call our home. The principle of
human rights will surely triumph. and
We shall live to see some of the glorious
results.

THE TOPEKA RAILROAD.

We mentioned few weeks ago that
there was talk Of running railroad from
Topeka 70 the coal fields of Usage coun-
ty. Il seems the matter is assuming a
serious shape. We learn from the Usage
Chronicle of the 18th inst, that, at their
last nesting, the Commissioners Of Usage
county we're visited by SCENTS Of the
company proposing to build the road to
Burlingams---ths Atchison > Topeka &
Santa Fe COmpsny-and that the proper
arrangements we're made, and the aues
tione OF the county's subscribing $780,
600 10 the capital stock of the enterprise
was submmittsd to the people to be voted
for on the l4,h of May next.
This looks like business, and We are
glad to know that all parties are in earn
eel. or course if the road should be
built TO Burlingame it will not be long in
coming TO this point. Our people would
not permit the locomotive to stop within
thirty miles of them a great many days.
