A GREAT STATE.

Soon after the close of the war with
Mexico, the daring, intellectual, adj
venturous, self-reIiant men of the old
States, rushed to the new and rich field
of enterprise opened to them on the
Pacific. In an Incredibly brief space
of time, as if by magic, splendid cities
arose on those western shores, and the
foundations ola mighty empire of free
men were deeply laid. Nature was on
a scale calculated to attune the souls,
and inspire to lofty deeds the noble
spirits, who had peOpled the land.
There were sierras whose peaks piercing
the clouds, were crowned with ever
lasting SHOWS limitIess valleys covered
with perennial verdure; forests of
mighty trees beneath the shade of one
of which a regiment might repose
rivers fringed with the jessamine and
myrtle; countless herds roaming the
prairie; the vine shedding its blood for
the delight of man in richest profusion.
No wonder the proud Californians,
dwelling amid the magnificent scenes of
nature, should refuse to succumb to a
fierce fanaticism which threatened to
enguif our institutions. They had no
notion that the cultured and intelligent
freemen of America should be subjected
to the domination of the ignorant and
stupid negro and degraded Chinaman.
Following the example of ofConnecticut,
California, in many respects the great
est State in the Union, speaks with
voice potential for truth and the right;
and in October next, the hills and val
leys of Pennsylvania will catch the
cry and send it back with thunderOus
reverberatiOn to the shores of the Pa
cific.

We do not feel inclined to cover up
the sins of any one, even if he be our
friend, and we certainly shall not hesi-
tate to say that the conduct of the Pa
cific Republicans has been such as to
richly merit defeat. With a reckless
ness opposed to common sense and
honesty, the party leaders have so ac-
ted as to reduce the magnificent ma
jOrity of nineteen thousand to less than
nothing. They have allowed a "ring"
to be formed Which bought and sold
the Legislature. They have nominated
bad men for high positions, and have
given the most responsible offices in the
State to men utterly untitled to hold
even the meanest positions.
The EUeniqg Telegraph, one of the
organs of the 'unco godly" in Philadel-
phia, walls thus over the defeat of its
friends in California. Before the elec-
ton it had not word to utter on the
subject, but now finds a poor consola-
ton in abusing the discounted. 1t is
safe, and has look of honesty to de-
nounce those at a distance, but some
how or other the Telegraph has nothing
but praise for the same sort of precious
scamps who rule its party in Pennsylva-
MIA. Its picture of California radicalism
suits this latitude exactly, but it will
not print any portraits of the rascals
who control its party in this State.
After the election we expect to hear
the same sort of consolation over Radi-
cal defeat, coming from thepress ofthat
party on the Pacific.
