The California Victory.

We suppose that the falling of the
,.,vrus would scarcely have surprised
,be Radicals more than does the result
If the recent election in California.
Tin. Suddenness of the calamity is
suongh to shake the best nerves in the
porfy. while the tremendous magnitude
If the disaster must produce crushing
sf,.c, for which there is neither remedy
nor mitigation. A moro thoroughly
.t,rtled, bewildered and demoralized
crowd than the Radical press of the
,cnutry is seldom seen i'll political cir
,les SUI LovENGoOD's big scare was
rot a circumstance to the CONSERVATION
of the "loyal" journals and party. A
dock of scattered wild geese, hunted,
.rared and screaming, is probly the best
representatige of the situation of these
panie-strieken people.
We hasten on to the details of the
srrat catastrophe. 1t combines the ele-
mcnts of the earthquake, the tornado,
and the lightning blast. The Chairman
Of the Democratic Executive Commit
Zee of California sends the following
dispatch to the Cincinnati Enqaier.
San FRANCIsCo, September 5, 1867.
California sends greeting to all Con-
..ryatiye citizens at the East, having
rlrc,r, Henry H. Haight, Governor, by
many thousand MISUNDERSTANDING IN
the footsteps of Connecticut. and i'm
proving npOn her example. The Legis-
iaturc Is Democratic, and the State Is
thoroughly redeemed. Two Congress
mru a!c elected, and the third is be-
Hrred 10 be. Let Ohio Join the column
JosEpH p. HoGE, Chairman.
Thus. with scaIee u note of warning,
has this ruinous blow fallen upon the
Hadicalism OF the Pacific. The result
i, little short of annihilatiOn. 1t is
useless to talk of GORHAM'S corruptioDs
causing split upon the Gubernatorial
ficket and enabling the Democrats to.
.iect their Governor. HAIGHrs success
iS bnt a single item in the completeness
Of the victory. We have the entire
city ticket in San Francisco; we have
two, if not all of the Congressman, and
last and best, we have the Legislature,
which guarantees our success in tie
coming United States Senatorial cleo
tiOn.
The effect of this spleudid victory
cannot he Over-est!mated. Its Influence
upon the pending canvass will he felt
in every hamlet and at every tireside.
The lesson of Connecticut" was not
lost. 1t wrought its impression upon
the public mind, ana moulded the sen-
timent that now finds expression i'll the
magnificent triumph which we, to-day,
are chronicling. So, too, the lesson of
California will work out its effect upon
other States. The white men of the
country will take courage from the
victory of their brethren in the far
West. The men whose blood and
brains have developed this continent
from ocean to ocean, will catch fresh in
spiration from the two grand political
results of '67--results which show that
the people of the Eastera and the West
ern shores are one in their determine
tiOn TO preserve this nation, great, united
and free, as the heritage and the gov
eminent of the race whom GOD made
white AZ an emblem of nobility and su-
periority. History repeats itself, Con-
nectcut is renewed in California. FL
dorado, in turn, will speak again in
Ohio, and in the Key Stone of the Arch.
