Brethren in the cause Of the Country and Loyal
Reconstruction :-Dismissing all vain regrets over
the disaster which befel our party at the late
election, and prudently refraining from useless
discussions to the insufficient causes which
deferred many from discharging their duty at
the polls, let renew VOWS of devotion to
the sacred cause, and commence the work of or
ganization so indispensable to success in the fu-
ture. We are on the of Presidential cleo
ton. The great majority who sustained the
war against rebellion will not permit California
to give her electoral vote to ally of rebels
lately in arms. The signs of the times indicate
a necessity that the Jealous and earnest men of
the State should be unremitting in their efforts
to the indifferent and careless to a reali-
cation of their duty. Called shall be by
the National Convention, to rally around the
standard of Grant, Sheridan, or some other
equally true and talented leader, California will
blot out the bad record of the 4th of September
The men who were true on that memorable day
will ever remain constant, while the thousands
who were mised by the covert assaults on the
party from unexpected quarters, will not again
be subject to such influences Let US look not
backward, but forward, and victory will again
perch upon our banners. We cannot doubt that
the lessons of late defeat will be needed :;
that Union men will realize the fact that their
patriotism only find expression by support
ing the nominees of the party at the balot-box
Let us cultivate harmony and forbearance in our
ranks Loyal men alone must govern the
country.


In October next we will be called upon to elect
Judge of the Supreme Court a Superintendent
of Public Instruction, and Judicial officers
throughout the State. In the election of Su-
preme Judge, political issue is involved ;
John Currey, a tried, experienced honest and
incorruptible Judge, has received nomination
at our hands. People Of all parties have an in
tereSt in the election of such man and though
l. b.,.1. .l.o
votes from political opponents, yet his main sup
port must come from the party which has con-
ferred upon him his nomination. Let us all as
oounden duty, give him our support. Let the
voices from the commingle with those from
the mountains, and all determine that honesty
and impartihlity in a tried and experienced judi
cal officer shall not 90 unappreciated


Ia the election of John SWEET for Superintend-
ent OF Public instruction, we shall reward abil-
ity, industry, and perseverance in the discharge
OF his official duty. We shall secure our com
mon school system-so Justly the pride of the
State-against revolution, as well as bring to its
aid all that can reasonably be advised for its
advancement and prosperity. We keep our
public schools open to all denominations and
people; and never consent to have taught in
them irreverence to our flag or the institutions
of our country. We can never consent that The
efficiency of the public school fund shall be in
any manner impaired or that any portion of it |
shall be diverted from the purpose of giving to
all, irrespective of birth h-place, creed or religion
an equal aud liberal education.


Then let every member of the Union party. |
and every man, of whatever party, who is in !
favor of tried and faithful Judge of the Su-
preme Court, and who is in favor of securing
fidelity and honesty in high places and all who
are in favor of the inviolablity of school
fund, come to the support of ticket at the
Judicial Election to be held on the 9th of Octo-
her and all will be well
