He received 56,036 votes, while John Conness, a war Democrat, received 30,944, and McConnell who was the representative of the Gwin Democracy, which had so long controlled the State, received 32,750.

The men who supported Conness, if driven to the choice, would have supported Stanford as against McConnell, thus showing the overwhelming sentiment of California in favor of the Union.

Two years before, in the election of 1859, Mr.Stanford, as the Republican candidate, received but 10,110 votes, while Milton S.Latham, representing the Buchanan administration, received 62,255, and Curry, the Douglas candidate, 31,298.

The majority of the Douglas men, if forced to choose, would have voted for Latham as against Stanford.

In the Presidential election of 1860 California gave Mr.Lincoln 38,734 votes, Mr.Douglas 38,120, Mr.Breckinridge 33,975, Mr.Bell 9,136.
The vote which Governor Stanford received in September, 1861, shows how rapid, radical, and complete was the political revolution caused in California by the Southern Rebellion.
THE ELECTION IN KENTUCKY.
In the eager desire of the loyal people to hasten all measures of preparation for the defense of the Union, fault was found with Mr.
Lincoln for so long postponing the session of Congress.
