l.. N. IUftEe as a Letter writer.
This individual seems to have great
penchant for the epistolary. A short time
since we gave his opinion of Southern m en-.
This week, we present our readers with
extracts of letters addressed to Esquire
Boyles, who has sent them to us, for the
benefit of the public. 1t will be remem-
bered by the democracy of this county
that Clayton, to whom Mr.. futile refers,
took an active part in an anti senatorial
meeting at Michigan City last winter, but
is now candidate for the legislature on
the Broderick ticket. But the extracts:
SACRAMENTO CITY, March "a, 1854.
FRIEND BoYLEs: Dr. Keene
of Eldorado, who is President pro tenn of
the Senate, had the appointment of the
committees, and so arranged our printing
committee that they refuse GO report BILL
The committee are Walkup of Placer,
Crenshaw of Nevada, and Moore of San
Francisco. Two of the committee, Walk
up and Crenshaw, are in favor of retain
ing the present system, and forming a ma
jority control the matter.
The Senatorial question creates great
excitement see abroad, and the Times s.
Transcript with some other papers, are
making great huZza over it. The plain
truth is this: the friends of the election
have introduced no bill or resolution in
relation to the matter yet. The two bills
that were introduced were brought in by
the opponents of the election. These
| provided for the election next January.
One that was introduced into the House
was amended so as to allow the election to
come off any time within one year before
| the expiration of the term and in that way
passed and was sent to the Senate. In
the Senate it was re- ejected by the same
vote | before spoke of, 9 Democrats and
9 Wings The one introduced into the
Senate was indefinitely postponed by its
friends. The whole time spent in the
two houses on the discussion of these bills
did not exceed four days in each house
found when the battle came off that |
had either to act with the wings and join
this coalition or vote with my democratic
friends. determined to do the latter. -
This do not now regret. You must not
condemn me until you hear my defence.
Whether the friends of the
election will make move this session
am uncertain. If they do and succeed, it
will be the greatest stroke of policy for
the State that has ever been accomplished
Our past representation in the u. States
Senate has not done its duty. If it had
our war debt would have been assumed
long ago They have held up SO that
certain class of spectators might buy the
bonds all up at about fifty cents on the
dollar.
There is prejudice against Broderick
but he is the only man at present who has
the nerve and determination to right these
matters.
If you see Hal Clayton ask him if he
ever stumped against Yancey. Tell him
shall laugh him good natured when get
home. Tell him moreover,
can already fancy myself at Yankee Jim,
El Dorado Canon and other places de-
Tending myself while HE, Ryerson and
Anderson are making the charge.
shall not yield entirely unless Marshall
joins the three. Then indeed it will be
time for me to give up the ghost! sup
pose Longley will come in after the death
to feed Oh my carcass. "To be Or not to
be that's the question:"
Respectfully Yours,
CHAS. A. FUTILE.
