Butte record., 1854-07-29
Congressional Nominees.

State Convention, Tor once, have been
selected from the interior counties-Mr.
Denver being from Trinity county in
the Northern portion of the State, and
Mr. Herbert from Mariposa. The de-
mocracy of northern California have
now a reasonable incentive to action, if
they would secure the election of
northern man. Mr.. Denver during his
official career as Secretary Of State, has
remained free from the corrupting infu
ences which have surrounded the CAPT
tQl of California, and to which others
have crooked '.the pregnant hinges Of
the knee that thrift might follow fawn-
ing" The demand of the north has
been complied with, and candidate
presented whom the north should unan>
imously and vigorously support. In
deed both cand dates seemed to have
been presented by the convention with
spirit of unanimity and fairness never
before witnessed in our State Conven-
tions. The orthern democracy Of Cal
ifornia are bound not only by their own
interests, but by every honorable con
sideration, to give Messrs. Denver and
Herbert their united and energetic sup
port That they will do this, the de-
mocraey Of southern California may
rest assured. The Broderick pestilence
injecting San Francisco and Sacramento
does not extend to the mountain coun-
ties. The sentiments uttered by Messrs
Denver and Herbet in the convention,
will find a hearty response from the
north. They were precisely what the
north has contended for during the past
session Of the legislature, and to refuse
them hearty support now is to aban-
don our own interests.
The Broderickites or New Republi-
cans under the lead of the valiant and
redoubtable Miss Sonora Walker, have
entered the iield-but took great care t.
have a chance to retreat We stated
last week our belief that Messrs. Latham
and McDougal would not consent to sac
rifce their standing with the Democracy
Of California in order to become the
tools of the hllibustering Broderick
faction This opinion is confirmed by
our delegates to the State Convention.
Should Congress adjourn, so that our
members could arrive on the next steam
er, the fllibustering Broderickites will
find themselves without candidates.
Should Congress not adjourn they may
be able to consummate their nefarioUs
designs and use the names of Messrs.
Latham and McDougal to divide, distract
and defeat the democratic party of CAL
ifornia, as there is not sufficient time to
hear from Washington before the cleo
ton takes place. The impudence Of
Broderick and his seyenty-two purchas-
ed tools surpasses that of the devil HIM
self Who but faction perfectly reck-
less of character and consequences,
would thus appropriate names of known
and staunch democrats to aid their fac
tional and disorganizing purposes =
But it it is asserted by the press in the
employ of these New Republicans, that
Messrs. Latham and McDougal will con-
sent to the use of their names, and run
Oh the Broderick ticket. IF this be so
they may rest assured of this one thing
they will not run in this section
While the democracy approve of their
course in Congress, and would doubtless
be glad of proper opportunity to con-
fer further honors upon them, they un-
derstand their duty too well, to be gull
ed into the support Of an unprincipled
faction. because two men whom they
have heretofore honored have loaned
themselves to its purposes. As well
might the democratic party have voted
