The Latest Dodge.

Dodge of the conspirators for the purpose Of
effecting an election of Senator, before the
question can come before the people 1t has
been decided by a caucus" of the servile
tools Of Broderick, to render an extra session
necessary, when it is expected that they will
be able to succeed in their unholy design
An extra session is to be rendered necessary
by devoting the last week of the session to
senseless discussion, and neglecting to pass a
revenue or appropriation bill. This will give
the Governor an opportunity to call an extra
session. project which he will readily en-
gage in, as he has already backed such a po-
sition by protesting against such an early
day of adjournment. Should an extra ses-
sion be called, they will have power to
elect Senator, though the Governor in his
proclamation calling them together shall not
mention that among other subjects, for which
are convened. Will Gov. Bigler by doing
this act of injustice, prove himself the most
servile and contemplate tool of a corrupt and
ambitious faction' 1t seems impossible that
he can seriously contemplate such PROPOSE
tion. He is well aware of the fact the people
are opposed to the project-that the great
body of the democratic party, to whom he
owes his present position--are opposed to it,
and that such a course will meet with their
just and indignant condemnation. 1t is well
known that members stand ready to favor the

uents, and it is also we'll known that those IA
yoring the election have made herculean eff
forts to procure such instructions and have
failed. In the face of these facts it seems
impossible that Gov. Bigler can convene an
extra session for the purpose of disfranchis-
ing the people. He should not deude himself
with the belief that he owes his present posi-
ton to the infiuece of the Broderick faction.
He owes it to o generous and enlightened
ment proposition to outrage them. But we
should not be surprised to see this project at
tempted by the worthy Governor. He has re-
manned silent upon the subject, if he has not
privately aided the project, ard at time

electionists, and preventing the extravaganza

Such offices as lumber measurers and whiskey

Francisco, far out-strip the reform effected in
the State printing by running" in the names

1t may be possible that this project is held
up as rod ofterror to prevent the democracy
from casting off the Broderick facticn, and
rising in their might hurl the servile dema-
gogues from places they have desecrated, and
democracy they have betrayed. They are
rendered powerless for evil if they are no
longer recognized by the democracy, and to
succeed in keeping their corrupt carcasses
attached to the democratic party. is with
them, an important consideration. But the
party should not falter moment, in severing
the lgament connecting them with such a
mass of corruption, and which is fast prostra-
ting the energies of our young state, by turn
ing it over a prey to loa.hsome corruption
and rank dishonesty. To remain as they
now are, is to labor under vile dictation and
suffer ignominy, defeat and disgrace.
