The storln-wave of the Pacific is
scarcely le1slcr now tEan tie roar
of triumph that swells from CALI
tornia's bosom, in view OF her 5000
majority fer Booth. The Atlantic
has spoken, AID tie Pacific said her
speech, AID Republicans throughout
the country feel it good to be here
When we take into account the fact
that in 1867 IIaiglit's majority III
California WAS 1000, AID that now
the Republicans lave carried tie
) tate by COCO, it becomes truly a
matter Of congratulation, and the
Republicans of California deserve
great credit for their ctfurts ard
plans which have resulted in SO
glorious a victory These are the
/ fist of the campaign, and will be
| healthy III their influence on the
elections which are to occur III Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Iowa, next Octo-
bcr, and III Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, New York, New jersey,
| Massachusetts, Mississippi and Mary
land, next November. They will
inspire the Republicans IN those
States to newer efforts and fresher
zeal, and thus most gle riots results
of increased majorities, from each
one of those States, may be conf
/ deutly anticipated. And as Gov
ernor Haight and Governor Grover
are somewhat alike in their political
charactcrs-very nearly matched
and as our last Legislature adopted
| the system Of rascality aud swiri-
ding, in the shape of party legisla-
! ton, SO characteristic of the Cali
| fornia Legislature, AID which las
resulted in its overthrow, we may
safely conclude that in our Com
gressionaI election of June 1872,
the people of Oregon will show their
appreciation of srch party in a
brilliant Republican victory. The
influence of these upon the Fresi-
Dental contest of 1872 may be easily
sun1n;sed. Tie East will answer to
the West, the North to the South !;
and from every hilltop and valley,
and mountain-side, will come the
s'sound of'mirth ai.d gladness over
Republican victories.
Some of our Democratic cotemp-
oraries are put to great straits Tor
something out of which to manu-
facture their sqr1ibs ana editorials.
Buncombe and editorial gas are hard
to write unless based upon some
thing tangible. or which can be tor
t,lred into the appearance Of such.
The imaginative faculties, however,
of some have become SO largely de-
| veloped, that n mere thread is often
sufficient on which TO hang a super
abundance of words, corpulel.t with
meaning-to the easily gulled. The
latest thing Of the kind is the no.
menclature of some of the Repub-
lican press, in referring to the adj
ministrators of the government, as
'sour rulers.'' TO the minds of
these imaginative gentlemen, around
these words cluster portentous
glooms. They indicate, say they,
that we are drifting from Repub-
lie into an Empire. Soon will the
American eagle flop his pinions for
the last time over the Republic,
shrek they. The chains are being
forged, rises the wall. They call
our Administrators and Represent
atiyes Rulers. Bah! How flimsy
the thread on which to hang SO
many Understanding words. How
small the switch on which to hang
such tremendous scare-crow. How
few and small the veInin for such
a mighty scratch! No one but a
modern Democrat, hard upfor some
thing to write, would ever think OF
drawing such evil conclusions from
an expression at once Latural and
convenient, as well as of universal
custom and practice by members 0:
both parties, BOW and at all times
in the past. 1t only shows to what
sources the Democratic party must
resort for their editorial matter.
