Full Text
More accurate intelligence from this State reduces the democratic majority from the first erroneous telegraphic statement of it to five thousand, and estimates the whole vote at seventy thousand. In the legislature the democrats have twenty senators out of twenty-seven, and about two-thirds of the members of assembly. The whole democratic State ticket is elected. Messrs. McDougal and Latham are chosen members of Congress.
The Sacramento Journal has the following remarks on the result.
"For the first time since the foundation of the State, California was called upon to take part in the selection of a President. Nobly has she acted—proudly has she sustained the men and measures by which she was rescued from the hands of a tyrannical and oppressive power and placed among the States that form our glorious confederacy. Containing a population unequalled for intelligence, energy, and enterprise by any portion of the world, California could not and would not cast her first vote against the enlightened and progressive policy of the democratic party of the United States. The stand in favor of democracy has been taken upon that calm reflection which convinces the judgment, and which assures us that, as the first Presidential vote of the Eureka State has been cast, so will it at every succeeding election be given to the party of progress and republican equality."—Washington Union.
