Gated by Jefferson In his Inaugural "Iu'- sd
dress" "' Ao-
When he first came to the ca,;,,,
says, he sdoubted the proprietp ae ne
election this winter" That certs;rI' H., an
very mild manner of characterisinr a v;o ,S a
laton of the supreme law, but we : m"'. mo.
vindicate history. The gentleman u'' ws
actually pledged against it. "a'
He "advised and concurredn in tbo o.u
Of the caucus, but doubted the pronr;e,,.
ofpassng any resolution without the bory cor
currence of a larger number of the demo
cratic members. Now, what does IN.
Hon. Senator say Of the action Of ,ha,
caucus, in connection with other de,no
Gratis, who "entertained opinions sim;ls,
to his own" Here it is--s'We cons;da.
the action of the majority in this instance
rs unreasonable and not to be regarded
because they would force the minor;ty,
into caucus and make US blndly subm;,
and vote for measure which we beIievo
a flagrant outrage upon the sovereignty Of
the people,"
Yet when "events thickened' on him
and he found he was expected "to affiliate
with the wings" (horror of horrors) he
forgot this "f1agrant outrage upon the
sovereignty of the people," and forthwith
enlisted, heart and soul, under the banner
of this unreasonable" caucus.
Brave democrat,-left his post because
even the wings recognized the strength of
his position and came to his standard.
If the gentleman is never accused of
anything more criminal than "af1iliating''
with certain wings to defeat "hagrant
outrage upon the sovereignty of the peo-
ple," he will pass through life with most
excellent character. But the question as-
sumed a new attitude in his eyes-''it was
a majority Of his democratic friends, VS..
a coalition Of the entire whig party and
large minority Of the democrats"
MIR. Bradford challenged the House to
say whether that accusation was meant
for the large minority Mr.. Tuttle speaks
of, and the only response was from Mr..
Hubbard, who denied that any such charge
was intended.
Those "democratic friends" must have
played upon the credulity Of the Hon.
Senator from Placer, in order to induce
him to surrender his "private feelings"
Those whig allies of his, he saw too, were
desirous to stir up dissension in our ranks,
and he determined that "by no act of his
should that dissension be augmented"
self-sacrifcing patriot! how we admire
you! You have won laurels enough III
one campaign, to secure your peaceable
retirement, from the Iabors Of public life,
for the rest of your days. That your
constituency will so award, we feel quite
certain.
We pass to his concluding remarks.
"That the wings" says he, "should desire
to see the State misgoverned, knowing
that they can make the Democratic party
responsible for this misgovernment is not
surprising. But that you who lately
stood side by side with us in the contest
for reform, should now enlist IN their
ranks is unnatural" II the wings do de-
sire to see the State misgoverned, they
are unworthy the confidence OF the peo,,,
pie, and we impeach the patriotism. OF al
such citizens. That the Democratic par
ty will be held responsible for the enor-
nous expenditures attendant upon "e
delay of Legislation during the session Oh
'54, we do not believe there IS man ~
lost to reason and justice as honesty "
urge it. Every one knows that if the name
of d. C. Broderick had not been ii''to'
duced this session, in connection win 'ae
Office of the U. S. Senatorship, that tne
necessary business of the session wouIa Ia
long since have been transacted ana 'n0
session adjourned.
By the persistence of that gentlella"
and his Fl friends, to have the election con-
summated this session sum OF lno".y
variously estimated at from two to two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars mas mas
been expended, and you cannot escape '"o
responsibility incurred thereby. Dy i';yL "o
sophistry can you reason out of it. mere
is the naked fact, and the people know " ~
The Broderick faction and not the D'M Nv
oeratsc party will be held Responsible 'nG :.
just, impartial and discriminating pu;v
lic That the democrats who are opPo'.,hhs .hs
the Senatorial mo, should "enlst III w"
ranks of the whigs'' is indeed "unna,u- n "
rail-" and what is more sis untrue III.
There are more whies desirous that TINS
election should come off, as you desire ~
