TmE CALIFORNIA ELECTION.

- III GALAEOAhAA AAzENAlONs
From the following extracts for the
press our readers will be able to gather
the tone of Northern sentiment with
respecttO thelate California election. The
news seems to have fallen upon the OPP
ponents of Radicalism like a new and
fresh inspiration, be%tokening the lifting
up Of the heavy cloud which has hung
over the political heavens, and rested
like an incubus upon the hearts Of good
men,:
Rsdicslism in all its parts is shivered
or driven to the wall. It is no defense
to say that Gorham, the gubernatorial
candidate of the radicals, was a lobby
man and n cOTruptionist His character
in that regard was thoroughly known,
and hence his nomination by a set Of
leaders of the same sort in all parts Of
the state. The radical advices thence to
this side of the country were that Cor
ham would be defeated, but all else
would be as before. But as nearly all
the other radical candidates are either
badly beaten, OK are saved only by
trifling majOrities, il would seem tnat

al its machinery, il leaders, great and
small. is thoroughly corrupt. And here
in they do not probably differ materi-
ally from the like class throughout
the country. Lawlessness, in nearly
all forms, pervades the radical ranks.
Corruption stalks unblushingly along
them. Rapacity is the breath ofthen nos
trils Of radicalism. SpoliatiOn of the
public treasure is its life-blOOd. Venal-
Ity and fraud msFk its footsteps. Usur-
patton Of the constitution; violation Of
law grinding eXactiOn from the people
despotic military control of whites in the
south. prescribing them in the exercise
Of suffrage, and enfranchising by force
and frsud, mobs of negroes; corrupt Leg
islation in the interests of class; assault
upon the judiciary and contempt Of its
DEGREES; overthrow of civil authorities
by the sword disregard of osths TO sa-
credly support the constitution and
usurpstions upon coordinate powere-
these, one and all, constitute the body
and substance of radicslism.
Why should not the intelligent people
Of California, in full view Of its enormi-
ties, and the calsmities it is spreading
like q pail over all the people Of the land,
refuse longer to march under its black
and bloody banner?
From the New York Herald
The fact that the republican party in
California was rent asunder by internal
dissensiOns, and that the opposition vote
has been materially increased, will ma
terially influence the result Of the cleo
tons in New York and Pennsylvania,
and probably in Ohio. In the latter
the democrats have committed
hNTfnanru and will Ia a m a pn hu ]
their own folly. But in Pennsylvania
and this state we shall not be surprised
to see q general reaction, and the entire
overthrow Of the party that is seeking to
control the government by a coalition Of
the Puritan and the niger.
From the World
Read this handwriting Oh the wall, We
disunionists who have squandered a
third OF the nations wealth, q million
Of its lives; who have substituted a mil
despotism for republican liberty in
ten of the sovereign states OF the union,
plundered the people with your protect
i've tariffs, robbed them with your paper
money and cursed them with a colossal
debt. Read this handwriting on the wall
and know your fate, for this is the begin
ming Of the end Of your power.
From the New York Tribune
It is very OrEatisfaction to be told in
dispatches from California that the re
publicans might have elected their gov
A great many good things
% might have been" There is scarce a
doubt that Haieht is elected governor,
and that Phelps is defeated for congress
IN the San Francisco district. More than
this, the disafiectiOn in our ranks imper-
lis the legislature, and threatens a demo-
crat in the place Of United States Senator
COnuess. The defeat in itself is not Of
vital importance but the manner in
it wa brought about, and the
it will produce in the ranks of
the enemy, are not the most pleasant
matters for reflection.
the Philadelphia Age.I
The glorious news from California will
cheer the true friends of the republic in
7ll parts Of the country, as the surrender
Of Yorktown did the patriots at the close
Df the war which gave a separate nation
Atty to the American colonies. Califor-
MIA has replied to Connecticut. The
democrats Of the east and the west are
in defense Of the constitution and
the rights Of white men, and the tide of
lsurpatiOn has been checked by the de-
termined action of brave, self-sacrifcing
and patriotic men. This news from
California will animate the party in
this state in their contest with the
enemies alike OF the constitution and
the rights of the states and people
under that instrument, and make victory
certainty. All honor to the democracy
Of California. They have fought a good
fight, and the result will be celebrated
the firing of cannon, the ringing Of
bells and the waving Of flags in all parts
u the north. In the name, then, Of the
i0n-hearted democracy Of California, we
to the party in this state, push on
he column Of democratic triumphs. The
is dswning, and
Freedoms battle once begun.
