A NOBLE EXAMPLE.

lion. Henry II. IalEh'i thO DNiiN' Governor elect of California, is setting an ex- 1 ample which aspiring politicians would do we'll to follow He positively declines to be candidate for United States Senator From Californa, not because he has not as iair a chance of election as any man in the held' but because, having been called by the peo- ple to the responsible office of Governor oi tho State, he will not betray the trust re posed in him by committing it to other hands He prefers the popular wish to his own in- clination, and the interests of his State to bis personal aggrandizement. His name nav ing been mentioned in connection with the Senatorship, the San Francisco Eramntr, evidently speaking by authority, says;
 "Mr. Haight considers himself under an obligation, as binding as any that can be nm posed upon man, to the Peopie or the c'a,e of California who have just SO conhdIngiy chosen him as their Governor, to enter upon and execute for the term, the duties ot that bioh position. It is therefore utterly repul- siye to his feelings to have his name asSo- ciated with the office of Senator, for 1t in- wolves the imputation of q capability on his part of betraying his high trust. Therefore under no possible circumstances will he per init himself to be candidate for that office. This we supposed would be his position when
 we nresented the names of certain gentle men spoken of in connection with that office, emitting his, and we arc happy now to state that we kaoe such 10 be his position"
 If every man who holds official station, by election or appointment, were as faithful to
 their trust as Mir Haght promises to be, the
 people would be largely the gathers And | the people are beginning to understand these
 things. The time is rapidly passing away
 when "the honest masses" can be made the
 dupes and victims of nmble tongued dema-
 rorues. skilled in the strategy of profes- sional politics, mighty at primaries and in- yincible in the lobby. During seasons Of great political excitement, the American peo-
 ple have been induced to follow after self constituted party leaders; but they have at length acquired in the expensive school of
 experience a degree of knowledge which i threatens to disappoint the hopes of all pro
 fessional office-seekers. Ambitious politi-
 tions everywhere had better make note of
 this increase of popular intelligence, and en- deavor to earn promotion by faithfulness to
 such trusts as may be reposed in them, rather
 than by trickery, fraud and corruption means once potent but now useless. Some
 months since venerable Republican assured
 us that tho trade of the politician was gone and henceforth the people would select theii own leaders" When Gorham wire-worked hls way into guberDatorial nomination we
 thought our old friend had been mistaken
 but we saw the full force of his remark when
 we heard of Knights election. We commend this matter to the consideration of those who
 in this Territory, are bartering the interests of our citizens and the welfare of the country
 for the bare possibility of seat in Congress
 Let them take warning by the fate of Gorham
 and, avoiding the rock upon which he split
 emulate the noble example of Haight. Oul
 people are not ungrateful; on the contrary
 they are quick to recognize and ready to re
 ward those who have been faithful to them ! but whoever attempts .o make himself supe ! lior to their wishes and interests will find h. , has reckoned without his host

 ,, How did the Uaions correspondent gt x, this "rumor" and it's accompanying 'oa dH? f It was generally known here in Prescott th, ;. Congress would be memoraiizcd to grant th Governor authority to raise regiment; b. ,s We did not know that such authority woul ,s certainly be given, or that the Colonelcy { e the regiment had already been disposed o if Colonel Lewis has the ability and experien' :, to make good commander; but what obje i, could His Excelency have had in assurir m him of the appointment before it was know whether Congress would authorize the raj
