indebted to Messrs Singer & Co.'S Express,
contains an elaborately written account of the
reception of one of one Broderick's tools
by his constituents Jas. W Cotfroth, Sena-
tor from Tuolumne County, ON his return
home from the Legislature, where he had been
noted only for his devotion TO the interests of
spo;-s seeking faction. was met near 'Shaw's
Flat by a cavalcade Of columbia Fusileers," !"
and occupying carriage provided for the

by four long tailed white horses! Here lie
was welcomed back amongst those who loved
him, and approved Of his efforts TO appropri-
ate the spoils of office to the faction Of his
Lord and Master He then addressed his
loving constituents in speech of one hour
and half duration, giving ''blushing CT
tai of himself,' and closed with an explanation
of his course upon the Senatorial question,
amid the ''knowiug looks" Of his enamored
constituents, The evening brought around a
reunion, and doubtless an extensive patron
age of the bar around which the a1miring
people and their blushng recipient assembled
The worshippers and the worshipped then re-
tired to "balmy sleep that ''sweet restorer,"
and INDUCED in pleasant dreams OF future
honors-of marble columns and gilded festoons
circular desks and Speakers chair--unlis-
turbed. except perhaps, by an occasional flea
or struggling bed-bug. Thus ended the re-
a. L.
started his Congressional race, with four long
tailed white horses which Of course cannot
fail to captiyate d sovereign people. Others
have met with more sober and dignifed re-
ceptions, but lacking the white horses with
long tails, they stand no show for Congress,
and must give way before the sweeping charge
Of the Senator from Tuolumne
The Sonora Herald, in noticing the gloriti-
cation Of this Brodcrick bcoby ayows its
preference for him as a candidate for Congress
from the southern portion of the State, and
thinks the northern portion of the Estate
will find worthy and able champion in either
Mr.. Bryan or Mr. Myers, who are spoken of
as candidates from the northern district" one
of whom the Herald thinks will receive the
nomination With regard to the southern
candidate, we care not fig who is nominated
be it "the talented young Senator from Tuol-
umne.,' OR one Of the aforesaid ''long tailed
white horses,' as if the State was divided into
Congressional districts, as it should have been
during the late session of the legislature the
people Of the north would have no interest in
the selection or election of a Congressman
from that portion Of the State. They can set
up who they please, and the democracy of the
northern portion of the State viii do their du-
ty towards him. But the south must not say
that the northern candidate for Congress must
be taken from among the seryile tools of
Broderick's corrupt faction. The democracy
Of the north will neither be forced nor gum
med into supporting such character for Con-
gress from this portion Of the State, and it
is worse than folly-it is iniatuation--to lay
the pipes for such nomination, for should
the faction succeed in nominating either the
corrupt Mr.. Bryan or Myers, the election

tain. This presumption is not based alone
upon the vascilating and corrupt course of
these men, nor upon personal preference for
another-but upon the result of the last cleo
ton, when Bigler ran so far behind his ticket
because of his connection with the Broderick
faction--and that too before the faction avow-
ed their unblushing impudcnce and outrage
Gus disregard Of the wishes of the people
These men have both bowed the knee to cor
ruption that would make the devil blush had
it been performed in his dominons, and for a
democratic convention to nominate would be
an Insult to an intelligent people But if it
must be done, keep off The convention until
the tools of corruption can control it. and
then have the exquisite pleasure of seeing its
nominees, ''long tailed white horses and all
sent up the spout by an outraged people.
