The Gubernatorial Nominations— Nugent's Speech on With” drawing from the Contest—Political Apostacy of the Re publican Nominee—Test Questions of the Oampaign—Th Mun!

Out of 312 votes he received 251, ‘he balance going for Mr. McOorkle, the friend and cand!- date of Senator Broderick. It will undoubtedly look strange that a man elected by the Legisiatare Isst fall to his present high position, by a singaiarly large vote, and who at that time likewise possessed the power to ob- tain the elevation of bis present colleague, Doctor Gwin, te the United States Senate, should be placed in eo mortify tng a minority when be had rewurned to Califoraia, and the (ssue of disapproving or endorsing his condact, during the short siay he made in Washington, submitted to the party ne represents. It would be urjust to Mr. Broderick toeay he sought this issue, It was forced on bim by partisans of Mr. Weller, who adopted the policy of putting the gontleman in an‘agonism with Mr. Bachanaa, be more certainly, it ts to be assumed, to serve the inter oats of the present nominee of the party. At allevents, here is no denying that tho question bofore the votore at ‘be primary electiors was Weller and Suchanaa or Brode- rick, ‘The latter gentleman could not, as ® democrat, op- pose the administration, though dissatisfied with their con duot towards him, and he had, therefore, the drawback of appearing before democrais seeking a vote of censure om the President and Cabinet, when in reality he neither courted nor desired sach a proceeding. There lias always exited two wings to the party in California, and recent events have tended to perpetuate these divisions without any prospect of their ever being healed, The federal offceholders were indefatigable in tho work of se suring the clection of celegates fayorabje to Weller, and with the aid of money aud promises of office succeeded very well indeed, But the popular seeling was oot strongly ex} J at Wel- Jer’s triemph. In thie city the ne ws failed to: Fepouse Of gratidestion or applause to the burst of genuine enthusiasm thi erick’s ciection to the United States ggo,and which would undoubtedly b been reveated now, bad bis friend MoOorkie received the nomiaation ‘The ups avd downs of politcal life are exempliged in this last act of the California demourecy, for i appears we man who last year could get the people to endorse him, now, in fact, is turned aaway from by the same peop'e, ocd left ina vory small minority. It is no! ‘ash prodic tion to say that a year will be ample time fo tun the tables. John Nugent was the other Candidate for tne nomination for Governor, but retired eariy from the cua teat, He made a few very neat and eloquent rem which were received with unbounded applause. He said — With your leave, Mr. President, gestiemon of the Convention—y motive tn firat entering tuto this contest, aside from that patural ambition every man as io re ceive bonorabie recognition at the bands of his fellow. cidgens, was, principally, to vindicate the course [ deemed {t my duty to pursue on certtin questions, by which the public mind of California was great- ly agitated, ope year ago. I esnnoi doudt that the principles which, by my candidacy, I desired to illus trate anc uphold, are as dear tothe ‘te of t2e dem > crats cf thie convention as they are to mine; and as 1 am ‘satisded the wishes of the democracy in regard to the Gov- ernorehip unmistakably point in another direction, I now moet contentedly and cheer! withdraw my name from this canvass. Indeed, I deem it no discredi; to retire be- fore the superior claima of gentlemen who have borne so distinguisbed a par: in the councils of the nation as have those whom I find, by accicent, in competition with me for suffrages. I! is needless to sey, that with a!! zeal and fidelity I sbal) cordiaily support the aominoes of :nis oon- ‘vention. In Going so, 1 shall be but upholding the same principies for which’ you snd I and all of us contended teat fa'l in our efforts to raise to the Presidency the present venerated chief magistrate of the United States, James Buchanan. Such a Mgbt can never fail to enlist my most enthusiastic support, Gentlemen of the Conventicn, there are among you some who, im their too partial favor— ‘ence in this con‘est warmly in my beball. 1s wot tmdelicate in me 'o tender to those gentiemen my most bearifelt thanks for their (riendly confiding re- ard, end to eay to them tbat, in my zeal for the interest, Bonor and the success of’ the democratic party, while life remains to me, I eball endeavor im some sort to justify ‘their good opinion the resolutions ad br the convention urge the early construction of a fc Ratiroad ; endorse the home- stead law; recommend economy in the disbursement of public moneys, and regard as ® cardinal principle of the party the reprobation all pubile defauliers; express confidence in the adi ; condemn Know Noth- ingiem, and oppose any alteration of the naturalization laws. Tro three following resoluti ms reiating to the Sialo debt, the Vigilance Committes, and new recruits for the party, wore also incorporated in the platform :— That (his convention acknowledge s moral obligation to liquidate the existing debt of tbe Siate of California, and that ius payment is hereby recommended.

And yet the republican party of California, with a plaiiorm of p: ine! ples wholly foreign to she ectl, anticipate the defeat of ihe democracy.

However, pething bas been eaid on the pari of tae Miat vilicials, probably by reason of such a practice, of the amount or Character of the miastifg gold dust On these points the firs!

Mr. Haraizthy is represented by his friexds to bee man of honor and iptegrity, aud should i;ever be his misfortune to be brought to the bar of justice to auswor for the iarge Ceficit in the department of the Mint, over which he had control, to prop up tae the wy shat gold dust, when sub jected to the action of heal, evapo ates like steam, and large lorses folow 1m couseqvence, though’ un beard of before, will show that bis casractor bas been unimpeachea and that he enjoyoa tho respect and confidence of his friends.

The property thus turned over may be worh $80,000 cr may be worth noibiag, butif ihe impress! now abroad are well bared, to settle Mr Haratzthy’s ac counts with tae United States would require no less then $100,000. Jt must seem strange, in conncciion with this subject, how the deficit occurred, und how, after tt hed ocourred, 60 jong a@time should bave passed befor ducovery. The popular opiaton is that in eetablishu of this kind the sizictest and moet perfec: aystem of checks prevails, ana thai it is next to an impostibilliy that o dollar conld be rurrepritiously abstracted without immediate dis- covery; and so complete is this system shat it operates at foretbly om the director aa it does on the bumblost employé inthe Mint. Mr, Haratzthy’s advent and exodus from Francisco Branch Mint will help to dissipate the po ular delasion. The Mint is st present closed for the reception of goli dust, although colnage is st.li going on. Noiwitbstanding the anomalous position Mr. Haratzthy holde, he is till the Assayer, his successor deciintog to assume the fanctions of the office until the accounts in his department are definitively settied. It may be remarked that the statement relative to the Mint being engaged ia coining appears ratner singular, more particularly as they are recetving ho dust, bot this is exp'aiped by the fact that, alloyed for coinage jard, prepared Cividval works of Mr. Haratzthy (the Eureka retinery), are constantly received and transforme tin o coins, for ‘ade. meets pext mcuib, when !t is underawod an indictment will be preferred egetnet Haretzily, nothing more definite can be ssceriainea, He is at ‘Bt sojourning a bis rapch ip Sonons county, one of the most beautifa! spots io the State of Califorpia. ‘The jt condition of mercantile aifatrs jn this city realizes tne gloomy anticipations expressed during the year past.

The time may arrive when the federal govern- ment, urged by the uncertainty of its political economy, may attempt a disposition of the minerai lands of Califor- Dia. should nat ever be the case, would not the interests of the quartz miners be better cared for and protected if they were united, acting im concert, with but one Of operations, than if they remain as now, dis jointed, separated and uukeewn to each other?
