Committee to the Union Voters oi


California.


Brethren ia the cause of the Country and
Loyal Reconstruction Dismissing all vain
regrets over the disaster which befell our
party at the late election, and prudently re-
framing from useless discussions as to the
insufficient causes which deferred SO many
from discharging their duty at the polls, let
US renew our vows of devotion to our sacred
cause and commence the work of organiza-
ton, SO indispensable to success in the future.
We are on the eve of Presidential election.
The great majority who sustained the war
against the rebellion will not permit Cali
fornia to give her electoral vote to an ally OF
rebels lately in arms. The signs of the times
indicate that the jealous and earnest men of
the State should be unremitting in their
efforts to arouse the Indifferent and the care
less to realization of their duty. Called
as we shall be by the next National Con-
vention, to rally around the standard of
Grant, Sheridan. or some other equally true
and talented leader, California will blot out
the record of the 4th of September. The
men who were true on that memorable day
will ever remain constant, while the thous-
ands who were misled 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 vic
tory will again perch upon our banners. We
cannot doubt that the lessons of our late
defeat will be needed, that Union men will
realize the fact that their patriotism can on
ly ind expression by supporting the NOM
inees of the party at the ballot 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 Supreme Judge, no political
issue is involved; yet John Currey, a tried,
experienced, honest and incorruptible Judge,
has received a nomination at our hands.
People of all parties have an interest in the
election of such a man and though his
main character as jurist will secure him
many votes from political opponents, yet his
main support must come from the party
which has conferred upon HIM his nomina-
ton. Let us all, as bounden duty, give him
our support. Let the voices of the sea
commingle with those from the mountains,
and all determine that honesty and impair
tiality ill tried and experienced judicial
officer shall not go uEappreciated.


In the election of John SWEET fnr Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, we shall re-
ward ability, industry and perseverance in
the discharge of official duty. We shall
secure our common school system-so justly
the pride of the State-against revolution, as
well as bring to its aid all that can reasona-
bly, be advised for its advancement and pros
perity. We must keep our public schools
open to all denominations and people, and
never consent to have taught in them irrever-
ence to our flag or the institutions of our
country. We can never consent that the
efficiency of our public school fund shall be
in any way impaired or that any portion of
it shall be diverted from the purpose of Civ
ing to all, irrespective of birth place, creed
or religion. an equal and 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 Supreme Court, honesty in high places
and all who are in favor of the inviolability
of our school fund, come to the support of
our ticket at the judicial election to be
held on the 10th of October, and all will be
well.


By order of the Union State Central Com
mittee. II. J. TILDEN, Chairman.

San Francisco, September 10th, 1857.


The dance given by Mr.. Calm, at the May
Pole House, on the 22d inst, although not
largely attended, was asindeed ''social party
We have never been to a dance where the
company were on such good terms with each
other, and apparently SO well satisfied with
themselves and the balance of mankind, as
at the reunion given by Mr.. Calm. The
mere act of dancing is not what renders that
amusement so fascinating in addition to
the opportunity which it affords the sexes to
enjoy each others society, there is pleasure
in knowing that while you are amusing
yourself, you are also conducting to the en-
joyment of your partner. There is genial
sociability connected with it, q removal of
those formalities and restraints incident to
the parlor and drawing room which renders
the ballroom attractive. The music,
which was furnished by Prof. Mommers,
assisted by Messrs. Bach and Kessler, was
of that character whichis calculated to max e
one think he is going up like Elijah of old.
The waltzes, especially, were exquisitely
sweet, divine. We had a waltz or two that
we have not forgotten yet. They inger in
our memory like beautiful dream. Mr..
Adler. who did the prompting for the occa-
sion did very WE'LL he is rapidly improving
in that role. At - o'clock the guests par
took of fine supper, after which dancing
was resumed for a short time. About 2
o'clock, much to our sorrow, the party broke
up. We begged hard for few more dances,
but the musicians we're hard hearted enough
to refuse. Mr.. Calm can rely on us every
time.
