CALIFORNIA ELECTION NEWS.
Ntw Yob, Oct. 4.
The ttrimhip Prometheus, Capt. Church
ill, arrived here thia evening, from San Juan,
with fiewa from California lo the 6ihult., the
passage 'having been made in the unparallel
ed inert "rime of 23 day.
WithYeg-rd to the election of Governor,
"the Califortfhx Courier, (Whig) of 6ih Sep
Member says':
The returna thin far, though in the main
imperfect, from the counliei of San Francis
to, Sacramento, Yolo, Nevada, El Dorado,
Solano, Marin, Tuolumne, San Joaquin, Ca
laveras, and Santa Clara, give Reading a ma
jority over Digler of about 1000, and the bal
ance of the State ticket from 600 to 800.
The counliei of Mendocino, Napa, Klamath,
Trinity, Shasta, Los Angelos, San Luis Opis
po, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz, will give
Reading at least 5,000 majority. This puts
his election beyond the possibility of a doubt,
nd the same vote will elect the most of our
State ticket.
The San Francico Herald Dem., of same
date, says "The returns thus far received,
indicate the triumph of the Democratic State
ticket by a decisive majority. The Legisla
ture will be largely Democratic, and al least
one Congressman will be of the same poli
tics." But the Morning Post Whig. also
of the dih ult., remarks, per contra "From
II these meagre imperfect returns, no con
clusion can be arrived at. There in r.ot suffi
cient data to form an opinion as to the result.
We see nothing in all we have heard to dis
courage us in the success of the Whigs in the
State. In fact, we have yet, notwithstand
ing the erowing of the Herald and others,
strong faith that the Whigs will carry the
State.

Baltimore, Oct. 7.
The New Orleans papers of the 30th,
contain detailed accounts of tho movements
of the revolutionist in the Northern Stales of
Mexico. Their pronounciamentos pro
nounce death to the tyrants. The following
re the reasons given for the revolt. First
The utter failure of the Mexican govern
ment to protect the Northern Mexican States
from Indian depredations. Second The
unjust, unequal and prohibitory system of
duties which operates most destructively on
the interest of the people of the frontier.
Third The despotic power exerted by the
Federal government over tho rights and
representation of the several Status.
It is repotted that besides Camargo, Meir
nd several other towns are in the hands of
the insurgents. At the dato of these ac
ounH all was quiet at Matamoras, awaiting
the appearance of the revolutionists. It
M thought that no resistance would bo
made
It is stated that the government had sen1
out 3,000 men lo defend the Isthmus of Te
hauntepee. Don Fernando Ramnez has accepted the
appointment of Minister of Foreign Allaire,
charged with the formation of a new Cab

Baltimore, Oct. 7.
The New Orleans Bulletin of the 2!Uh

ed by the recant explosion of the steamer
Brilliant, above New Orleans, had died at
Plaquemines. Mr. Lewison, editor of the
Baton Rouge Advocate, was dangerously
wounded by the explosion, and still lies in a
critical condition.

BEASOSS FOR OPPOSING Jl'DGE ( AMP
BELL. We call upon every good citizen and
democrat, whodesiiesto elect an honest
and competent Judiciary, to vote no ticket
with the name of James Campbell lor Su
preme Judge. We oppose Mr. Campbell,
because we know him to be incompetent,
and because his incompetency, is notorious,
and acknowledged in Philadelphia where
he resides, by whigf and democrats. Be
cause not a single individual, capable of
judging of his qualifications, or a single
member of the Bar in the City, of any
character or standing, whig or democrat ;
has yet dared to endorse his qualifications.
Because he was nominated wholly upon
the grounds of his being a Roman Catho
lic, and now drags in his religion as a shield
to protect him from the charge of incom
petency, by crying out persecution against
those who dare to question his qualifica
tions for the office. Because he procured
his nomination by fraud and corruption, by
the aid of unnaturalized foreigners. Be
cause he has been on the Bench about 12
years, and never delivered what might be
called an opinion, until he was a candi
date, which opinion it is openly asserted,
wat written by another person. We nev
er opposed any man on account of his re
ligion, but when a man is utterly unfit for
office, and attempts to elevate himself to
power, solely upon his religion, by appeal
ing to the prejudice of a sect who have
ever been untiring in their eflorts for place
and power, it is time for plain republicans,
who make no distinctions, and look upon
Lutherans, Reformed, Fresbyterians, Meth
odists, Baptists, &.C., as belonging to one
common family, to pause before they ele
vate to power any man who relies upon
any tect whatever, to sustain him for office.
Mr. Campbell himself, has already seen
lit to degrade that high oliice by election
eering, and his eflorts and his arguments
since hit visit to this place, are already visi
ble. The light which has suddenly beamed
upon hit eulogists, is truly wonderful.
Let the people ponder, and if party pre
judice! should be appealed loo, let them re
member that it it not and should not be a
parly question. Judge Coulter and our
neighbor Joshua W. Comly, both excellent
men, will be supported in place of Mr.
Campbell. Those who prefer voting for a
democrat can vote for Judge Coulter, and
they will want no better evidence ol his
democracy than the fact that lie wat ap
pointed lo the Bench by the late Governor
ct.a, ;
"SUNBURY AMERICAN AN D SHAM OKI
JUDGE CAMPBELL AND III tlLOOIST.
The Sunbury Gazette has suddenly be
come the eulogist ol Judge Campbell, and
in the extravagance of his praises, maket
him out a Solomon or a Very Daniel come
to judgment. It is strange thai Judge
Campbell can find no eulogists at home,
but must go abroad where he is necessarily
unknown. The Gazette has had but little
opportunity of knowing anything about
Judge Campbell's qualifications, except
through the Pennsylvanian, the only demo
cratic paper in Philadelphia that supports
him, and as the editor of that paper de
nounced Judge Campbell as unfit, when he
wat appointed to his present station, we
presume his endorsement will not amount
to much.
The Gazette of the 27th ult., which we
did not see until our return from Philadel
phia, says that the democralic opposition
to Judge Campbell is limited to a few Who
envy his success and lalent. Now we
have only to say that the charge is wholly
without foundation. What we say, and
have said of Judge Campbell, it mostly
from our own personal observation, and
knowledge of the facts. IVe are pretty
well acquainted in Philadelphia, and have
spent not less than two months there, since
Judge Campbell's nomination. Wc have
made almost daily inquiries in regard to
him. These inquiries were made from
busiiif?? men, mechanics, merchants, manu
facturers, lawyers, &.C., men who are not
politicians by trade, which is the case with
every one of Judge Campbell's endorsers,
and we boldly assert that out of a large
number of democrats thus referred to, we
found but two who intended to vote for
him. The Gazette should not therefore
presume to talk about such matters and
make such charges unless more fully in
formed. Our assertions will be backed by
no less than 8,000 or 10,000 democratic
votes which Judge Campbell will loose in
the City and County of Philadelphia.
We repeat that Jude Campbell has thus
far failed to get a single member, of any
character or standing, connected with the
Philadelphia Dar, that would endorse his
qualifications for the office. The charge
of Judge Campbell's incompetency is not a
recent thing. He has always been consid
ered as a weak and inefficient Judge. For
the truth of this, we appeal to the whole
community in which he resides. We have
never said any thing against his private
character, and we are prompted by no mo-
, . , , ' , ,.
tive whatever, except that of the public :
good, in our opposition to his election, and
we presume no sane man will ever accuse
us of being actuated by personal enmity. )
CCT" The contest at the elections in this
County m Tuesday next will be warm,
and wc presume the turn out will be as it
should be, a good one. Col. Bigler whose
worth and qualifications are well apprecia
ted by all true democrats, will therefore
receive one of the old fashioned majorities.
The contest for Senator will result in a
handsome' majority for Dr. Heck, whose
popularity at home, speaks well for his
character as a man and politician.

merce contains the names of about 10,000
individuals, and firms pledging themselves
to sustain the Resolutions of the great
meeting in 1850, opposing all measures
tending to the agitation of the slavery
question.
Df" The following communication was
handed to us by a friend of Mr. Weaver,
requesting us at the same time to inquire
into the facts. We did so, and must do
Mr. Weaver the justice to say, that both
Sheriff Covert and Esquire Martin, corrob.
erated the facts as staled by the writer.

H. B Masskr, Esq : The Sunbury Ga
zette for the last two weeks has nnsailed
Chaileg Weaver, the democratic nominee fur
Commissioner. This is ralher extraordinary
fur a paper lhat professes to be governed
par txcellente, by pnrty usages, and cau only
be justified by most poweiful reason. Mr.
Weaver is charged with neglect, in hi of
fice, and inleifering with the duties of the
Treasurer, and has been accused of staying
a writ for the collection of money against
(he Collectors. Having inquired into these
matters, I find from the record and from the
Sheriff, thai Mr. Weaver did no such thing.
The writ was not stayed by him. In regard
lo tho appointment of Collectors, Mr. Wea
ver is also exempt fiom cenrure Mr.
Leineuring and Mr. Miles were returned.
Mr l.eiseiiriug was appointed, but wat no1
able lo get Iho required tecurily. The rea
son Mi. Miles was not appointed, was be
cause an act of Assembly had been passed
uliich prevented an Assessor from holding
Ihe office of Collector.
The Gazette also charged Mr. Wearer
with having reduced Mr. Kays tax upon hi
sole aothorily, constituting himself and Mr.
Kay the board for that purpose. Esq. Mar.
tin the Commissioner's clerk says that Ihe
charge is not true, lhat he wit present at
Ihe lime and lhat Ihe Commissioner! had
been consulted, and that the same action
was hold on that as on other similar cases.
Now such charges might be overlooked in a
whig papor, but when they come from a pa
per that profetsei lo be democralru and it in
favor of democratic nominations, they
should have a better foundation than the
meie assertion of ihe editor who suffers bis
private g'icfa to interfere with hit public
duties.
Q? Alexander Jordan, Esq., our candi
date for President Judge, will have no op
position. This speaks well for Mr. Jor
dan, and is the best endorsement of his
qualificat ions that can be asked. How dif
ferent with Judge Campbell t In Phila
delphia where he resides, but few intelli
gent democrats will vote for him, because
Ihey know him to be unfit.

LAND COUNT V.
Il has been reported in mii.o parts of our
County lli.it I am favorable to a division of
the same, ami, if elected to Iho Legislature,
I would make an eliort lo have a new County
formed by attaching several of the upper
townships to parts of Union, Lycoming and
Montour. There is no acl of my life, noth
ing that 1 have ever said or dune that would
juslily such a report 1 havo never maui
lesled a desire for an alteration of ihe pre
sent limits of our County, nnd when many
of the citizens of the northern portion of it
were making an eliort lo have a new County
formed, 1 did not participate in their move
ments ; as 1 Itiink any ol ihe liieuds of the
project will do me the justice to say.
In order that there may be no misunder
standing in relation lo this matter, and thai
my fellow citizens may know my views
with regard to it, I hereby declare that 1 am
now, us 1 have always been, opposed to Iho
proposeu new iouiiiy, .urn 11 eieuiKii win ue
my inllueucH to delual any attempt lhat
might be made in favor of it. I would op
pose il not only bi cause I know that a large
majority ol our cilizons are nulricmlly lo It,
but because my own inleiests would be se
riously ullected by it. The organization of
a new County and iho erection of public
buildings necessary for it, would moro than
double my taxes, which are already sulli
cieully high ; and this increase of taxation I
would incur without being beiielilted in the
least. I am now us 1 have always been, op
posed to the new County, and should I have
ihe honor of representing you in Iho Legis

best of my ability.
