Show THE CALIFORNIA ELECTON. The coming Sruto olectiou of California Cali-fornia ia fast engrossing tho attention atten-tion of the peoplo and preta of the wost; and IVom all wo are able to : gather, we aro of the opinion the Rc-1 publicans will carry the State. The J Democrats are now in power; and it will come hard for theiu to yield up a four years' tonuro to their opponents. Mr. llaight beat Gorham four yoars apo; but Gorham went to Washington City to take an easier and more lucrative lucra-tive seat, an Secretary of tho U. S. Senate. There tire several rea-on.i lbr this apparent couiiug change, for it is con-eceded con-eceded on all sides that California is a Democratic State. The Democracy hu not been true to thw poople; they have allowed many "jobs" and "contracts," given away oi many "frauchiee," to the already rich corporations or "rin," iu the Kepublicana ever did. Their candidate, tbouh ho may be a very proper man, it U charged has been jumping around too much; and though he kept t-ayiug, like Seymour, Sey-mour, "he didu't want to beeoiuo a eandidate," still, he is oue! The pooplo like a firm and consistent man, jjven if he differs from them. They soy llaight has been appointing appoint-ing uieo to important commissions, in a manner not acceptable to the people; peo-ple; ho knew too much about the Governorship, yet in his selections he haa signally Jailed in nearly every appointment ap-pointment given. Tho Irish element has made itself too con"picuoui. The very firbt dash they made, was to elect Casbcrly to the United States Senate, taking another Irishman's (John Conner's) plase. They have virtually pushed other na-tioualiiies na-tioualiiies out of the Democratic party, par-ty, ho if the few Americans leave them, shey wiil be the pure "democracy of Ireland," instead of California. I; is also charged that keeping up thogoUpInu in direct opposuiou to the linauciiJ system of the Govern-1 meut, and against the interests of ail the people of these United States, to enrich a few bankers and real estate owuei of tan I'rau-cisco, I'rau-cisco, to the nearly tutai destruction de-struction of their mountain and inland towns, has weil nigh ruined tlio miiit hospitable and luxuriant Sla:e in the l rii.ii .
