Taking-advantige of the fact that there was no law to ptteorve the purity of such an election, or protect honest men in expressing their preferences, gangs of rowdies, bought up in the interest of Low and Conness, took possession ef tid polls and excluded decent people from them by violence and bullying. To make ap’ aa appearance of s popular election, however, wagon leads of bummers went from one polling place to another, drunken ‘with whisky and voted over and over again. Many of thom bvasted that they made a tour of tie city and voted a dozen times. ' The roughsor “shorts” as they began to be call+ ad, awopt everything and had e Convention ,. efter their own hearts. The Convention . _ et and nominated a Legistative ticket, “Gnade ap, with one or two exceptions, of vrokea down gamblers, political sharps and 0.00 One or two good men were nominated to's dozen of the baser sort. The people of San Francisco quivtly nominated agood ticket—such men as Shafter, Dodge, Beddington, ctc., and elected it by five thocsand: majority. When the people had thus epoken, Joho Conness also spoke. He said in his “sick letter” that San Francisco did right to “spew the ticket out of their mouths,” and elect better men. San Francisco has been the prey of bulkhead echemers, outside-land-stealers, grant adietg, &c., for years, and has been compelled te slect men tothe Legislature opposed touch schemes. The bummer tickef, with 60 exception or two, were known te be putty imen, open tu conviction when ‘were weighty, and from the instinot of self-preservation the city would not let them represent her. At the following State Convention, Evans, ea phodient servant of Low and Conness, iptreduced a resolution censuring the peo‘ah A , ". Office and that that class’ was consequently denied a Mr. “ plo of San Francisco for thie act. Mr. Sar reg . . just returned from below, where he purgett charged that that was the purpose of thé reselution and challenged denial of it, whict denial was uot wade. With Shafter + and others he made such exposure of the a that conceived the bummer's ticket, the Low men did nut dare to bring the resolation to a vote, they had a majority in, Convention, and it was ithdrawn, Since that day the Flag has not found words bitter enough to vent its spite against the men who baffled its party Even the dirty Gazette, whose present edipoivce boltere of that day, being eight t okblude Shafter, Dodge and other memcite with the they were elected in spite of raed, whisky and violence of his paag, forgetting that all the epithets he then plied: tothe people of San Francisco for '& fightoous action, now apply to him, pau infamous one. Auy wan who the.great uprising of San Franeelfish, unwarranted bulter . ———— mythical.entity the people, they, Sears, Hawley and Kent, issued a circnlar,containing a string of stale truisms, in the shape.ofa declaration of principles, upon. “not one 6f which can they make any issue with loyal . men. Added to these “PRINCIPLES” isa the vil€ oliject of which is so transparent, that it is wants {had he notsufficient before), of.the. eless demagoguery of these political puritans. It is, Opposition to Negro Suffrage in Californias — Upon . reading that precious sentencey one can fancy, ‘“‘and with likelihood to lead it,*thiat the members of the . little Junto that brought forth this Magna Charta, if indeed this concentrated wisdom of the ninéteenth century ought to play SECOND fiddle to any thing thatthe insignificant past bas produced, in throwing themselves back into their respective chairs in complacent contemplation of their work befere the dddition thereto of this last and fragran; ‘clause, indulged in some such talk as this : Sears#-“‘Well boys, what we have down there, _will set us all right on the score of loyalty, but the devil of it is, the other crowd are just as sound as weare upon every point, and will acouse us, and rot with absolute injustice, I must confess, of having stolen their thunder. Something else’ must be done.” Kent—''Yes, you bet! “We've got to get the Copperhead vote; nothing else will save us. There are @ good many sore-heads around, but not enough to elect a man of us. After all what’s the use being squeamish; the war is over and Copperhead votes are just as good as auy other man’s. In fact I have always had a sneaking liking for ‘em, let's give the’ poor buggers a show.’’ « ' Hawley—‘“‘Its all very well to TALK about getting their votés, but how are we to approach them without exciting the suspicion and disgust of our short-haired friends, who are not more than half out of the regular or-gan-i-za-tion ?’’ Kent—'‘O pshaw ! that’s easy enough ; let’s damn the nigger; I always found that to work when everything else failed in the Democratic party—God bless its old soul!” : Sears—‘'It is well. That dodge will catch every q 4 Irish vate in the. county."” Hantopy-"‘Bie tall be damned to all eternity, such is my humor.” And thus it may be that we here received the sublime principle of “Opposition to Negro Suffrage in California.” ‘ The sagacity that discovered the necessity for miaking the darkey an issue in this campaign, when not a man, womaa nor child in the State had heard that sambo wanted to exercise that great right, can never be too much admired. Thedeclaration thus brought forth was industriously circulated throughout the county. By dint of pertinacions button-holing, and the use of alb kinds of loose assertions concerning the corruption of the tegular Convention and its nominees, they in obtaining several hundred names. Many of those published are known to have been used without consent of the owners ;;-how many more may be in the . same category can only be conjectured. The mass meeting of the indignant people, to which this call was preliminary, occurred in due course of time, and numbered exclusive of those who ‘‘went to see the fun, 50 men all told; not one dozen of whom were from other townships than Grass Valley and Nevada, these two townships, in, reward for their excessive indignation, receiving every nomination ‘upon the bolter’s ticket save two. The sore-heads made the following distinct charges against the majority of the Union party, as an excuse for their withdrawal, and as inducements for others to join them, viz: That all the townships were not represented on the:ticket; that old Democrats were -ostracised, and the offices all given to old Republicans; that no foreigner was thought worthy of an daa nomination; that the . politician having been in the State not quite a year.

The rebels, strongly reinforced, were suid to be within two days’, march of. the capital. -Of course the city was greatly excited:~-Said Moody, “I went in search-of Juhnson at the edge of the evening, and feend him at his’ office closited with two gentlemen, who were walking the floor with bim, one on each side. As I entered they. retired, leaving me alone with Johnson, who came up tn me manifesting intense feeling sold out, Buel is a traitor. He is going to evacuatethe city, and in less than furty-eight houre we shall all be in the hands of the rebels.” Then he commenced pacing the floor again, twisting his hands and chafing like a caged. tiger, utterly insensible to his friend’s entreaties to become calm. Suddenly he turned and ‘said, ‘“Moidy, can you ray 1’’ “That is my business, sir, as a miaister of the guspel,”’ returned the: colonel.— “Well, Moedy, I wish you would pray,” said Johnson, and instantly both went down upon their knees at opposite sides of the room. As the prayer became fervent, Johnson began. to-respond in true Methodist style.Presently he crawled over on. his. hands-and knees to Moody’s sidv, and put his arm over him, manifesting the deepest emotion. Closing the prayer with a hearty “Amen!” from each, they arose: Johnsen tuok a long breath, and said with empbasis, “Moody, I feel better.” Shortly afterwards he aeked, “Will you stand by me?” “Cer“Well, Moody, I can depend upon you;-yeu are one in a hundred thousand.’’ He then eommenced — the fluor again. . Suddenly he wheeled, the current of his thoughts having changed,.and said, “Oh, Moody, I don’t want you te think I have become a religious man because I asked you to pray. I am sorry to say it, but I am not, and have never pretended to be, religious. No one knows this better than you; but, Moody, there is one thing about it—I do believe in Almighty God. And I believe also in the Bible, andI say I'l) be damned if Nashville shall be surrendered!” And Nashville was not surrendered. SeNaTor and Assemblymen were nomi-. nated by acclamation, Sears and his friends being delegates and acquiescing —Trans. We were not a delegate in the regular Convention until after the Legislative and a portion of the county ticket was nominated ; and then we were admitted on a proxy. : Now don't! You know you could'nt have gotten into Convention after the report of the committee on credentials was adopted without asking the Convention.” Another “inadverte at.” Ir Sears has changed his creed so often during twelve months that he has forgotten he once \believed the négro should bé allowed to\vote, we will gladly refresh his memory.
