THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION,
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
tpro,, N. Ne,o Yort. g,rnL

From the NeD York Herald
The incompetence and violence OF the Radical
party leaders and their organs, are having their
effect upon the country, and indicate q popular
movement against the policy OF negro supremacy.
This is evinced by the recent election in Califor-
MIA by the increase Of the Democrai tic vote and
the great falling offid !hs strength OF the RePuo
licans in that State California ia slow to feel the
influence OF a political reaction. This was shown
irfsthe commencement Of the rebellion, as well as
in the subsequent issue between the President
and Congress on the question OF reconstruction.
The fact that the Republican party in California
was rent assunder by dissensions, and that the
opposition vote has been materially increased
will materially influence the result OF the elections
in New York and Pennsylvania, and probably in
Ohio. In the latter State, the Democrats have
committed serious blunders, and will be damaged
by their own folly But in Pennsylvania and this
State, we shall not be surprised to see general
reaction and the entire overthrow OF the party
that is seeking to control the Government by a
coalition OF the Puritan and the niggel.
From the World.
Read this handwriting on the wall, We dis
unlonists who have squandered third Of the
nations wealth, million Of it's lives; who have
substituted military despotism for republican
liberty in ten of the sovereign States OF the Union,
plundered the people with your protective tariffs,
robbed them with your paper money, and cursed
them with colossal debt. Read this handwrit-
ing Oh the wall and know your fate for this Is the
beginning of the end OF your power.
From the NeO York Tribune
It is very poor satisfaction to be told in dis
patches from California that the Republicans
might have elected their Governor. A great many
good things s'mght have been." There is scarce
q doubt that Haight is elected Governor, and that
Phelps is defeated for Congress in the San Fran
cisco District More than this the dsaffection in
our ranks imperils the Legislature, and threatens
Democrat in the place OF United States senator
| Conness The defeat in itself is not Of vital i'm
portapce, but the manner ln which it was brought
about and the elaton it will produce in the ranks
of the enemy, are not the most pleasant matters
| for reflection.
From the Philadelphia Ags.l
The glorious news from California will cheer the
true friends Of the Republic in all parts OF the
| country, as the surrender of Yorktown did the
patriots at the close of the war which gave sepa-
rate nationality to the American colonies. Califor
| mia has replied to Connecticut. The Democrats OF
the East and the West united in defence Of the
Constitution and the rights Of white men, and the
tide of usurpation has been checked by the deter
mined action of brave self-sacrifcng and patriotic
men. This news from California will animate the
party in this State in their contest with the enemies
alike of tho Constitution and the rights OF the
States and the people under that instrument, and
make victory u certainty, All honor to the De-
mocracy of California. They have fought good
fight, and the result will bio celebrated amid the
np Of flags in all parts OF the North. In the namo,
then of the lion-hearted Democracy Of California,
we say to the party in this State, push on the
column Of Democratic triumphs, The day is
dawnipg, and
| Freedoms battle once begun,
| Bequeathed by bleeding sire to son.
Though bafied oft is ever won
