A SoNoMA ESDoRsEMESr.-Sonoma had a fa-
vorite candidate for the position of State Super
intendent of Public Instruction in the person of
Professor Lippett, very fit and worthy man.
Referring TO the means resorted to defeat him,
the Petaluma Journal and Argus says &c Cor
ham and his friends had perfect control of the
Convention-had the organization, and the estab-
fishing of the order of business, and the placing
of the nomination of Superintendent at the foot
of the list with the candidate from this county
tagged on to the Gorham slate the most and
only eifectual mode of leading the majority OF
our delegates into the support of men contrary
to their own honest convictions of fitness, and
what they knew to be the expressed wish of an
overwhelming majority of their constituents.
The whole transaction from the deceptions used
to trick Bidwel delegates in the County Corven-
tion into the support of Gorham delegates to the
State Convention, down to the slaughtering of
the only candidate before the Convention from q
tier of counties never yet represented on the
State ticket was reprehensible in the extreme

ANOTHER RECEPTION THE Solano Press comes
to hand without the State ticket at its head, al
though the Union county ticket is there, and in
its leader relative to the State Convention, says
"To say that we pleased with the result
would be to tell deliberate untruth, for we
have labored persistently and untirng for months
endeavoring to elevate John Bidwell to the posi-
ton of Gubernatora standard bearer in this
campaign. We did this for the reasons that we
believed him to be honest, capable and more
available than any man in the State, and to-day
We think that he could lead George c. Gorham

IT cannot be disguised that very many men,
some of whom have been long prominent as ac-
tive supporters of the Union party-having en-
tered it when the Republican party became
merged into it-openly declare that they cannot
support the ticket without a consciousness of
decentralization, and that therefore they will not
support it. Others avoid public expression.

some timely action will be taken to place before
