The election in California on Thursday
last resulted in an overwhelming Demo
cratic victory. Henry H. IIaight, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of that
State, has been elected by not less than
ten thousand majority, two of the three
Congressman chosen arc Democrats, and
the Legislature is Democratic, thus secu-
ring the election of United States Sena-
tor in place of Conness, the present Radi-
cal incumbent The entire State has been
thoroughly redeemed from the b!iChting
curse of radicalism, and the tyrannical
and disunion policy Of Congress has been
rebuked in terms that cannot be mistaken
or gainsayed.' The wild waves of f.nati-
cism have been broken upon the Pacific
coast, aud the corruption and disregard Of
constitutional obligations which have SO
long marked the career Of the dominant
party will ere long be checked all over the
land by the voice Of free people, who are
not willing to be degraded to the level Of
the ignorant and indolent negroes who are
sought TO be made their equals. The De
nocracy Of the Golden State have won q
glorious victory, which will foot up q gain
OF not less than twenty four thousand since
the last Gubernatorial election. This is
certainly tidings of great joy TO the
true men of the keystone State. and can
not fail to nerve them for the coming
struggle in cur own good old Common
wealth. AS Tie Age truly remarks, Cal
itornia only takes the position short time
in advance of Pennsylvania, New York,
and other States on this side of the At
Iantic slope of that chain of mountains
which backbone the continent in this de-
partment of the New World. The same
causes which affected the people of Cali
iornia will change the opinions of men in
this State. The only thing to be done is
to keep the Puritan and the Negro prom
inently before the masses, and they will
redeem the Old keystone State at the
coming election.
The result in California has sent thrill
OF Joy to the heart Of every man who loves
/ his country and seeks TO re- establish the
Constitution as the chart by which the
ship OF State is to be steered in the future.
and hence all will join in the iubilations
OF the New York World when il saws:
- California is an epitome Of the Union
Her soil is peopied by the suns of every
State in the Union, from Maine to Texas
and from Florida 10 Minnesota. The verdict
OF condemnation pronounced upon the Re
publican party and all Its works by CalifJr-
ma has therefore a deeper significance Than
| II 1t were pronounced by any State where
sectional or local influences have greater
weight. 1t signifies nothing less than the
approaching dissolution OF the party which
has ruled and nearly ruined the nation dur
ing the last SIX years, and the speedy down
tail OF the men who were fast Transforming
our republican system Of self-goyernmcnt in
TO a military despotism.
Welcomed thrice welcome! this news from
the gallant Pacific State. which comes like a
Ousie blast Of triumph and the cheers Of
r.
army, pealiug along the lines, and neTviug
th,.. iellow-sUldiers to a final and over
wEe.ming onset.
Do you hear the call. men Of Maine ? The
Pacific to TIE far Atlantic speaks: The
victory we have won, you, too, may win
The odds with us were as desperate as yours.
Together all, and charge for victory"
Do you hear the shout, Ohioaus. and men
Of the Keystone State, which comes from the
GolCeu Gates I'VE have redeemed Cali
fornia. Your odds are yet more desperate
than ours. But the line is broken. On. on
with al your troops, and charge for victory"
Later returns from the California
election give the Democrats gain of one
I. 5. Senator, tiTcs members Of Congress.
besides the Governor, Lieutenant Cover
nor, Secretary of State, Controller, Treas
urer, Surveyor General, Attorney General.
Harbor Commissioner, Clerk of Supreme
Court, State Printer, a majority in The
Legislature and several hundred minor
officers. Very good.
