the present session, and declaring such q
course to be the only way the difference
now existing in the democratic party can be
healed. Senator May was present. and stated
that he should oppose the resolution, but wo'd
abide the decision OF the majority, as he was
anxious to do everything in his power to heal
the division ofthe democracy. The Broderick
ties claimed this as an avowal that he would fa-
vor an election at the present session. The
statement has subsequently been denied, and
Mr.. May still classed as opposing the election
at this session. But be that as it may, the
breach instead of being healed, will only be
The democratic party will never sanction this
outrage--and consent that the time houored
usages of the party-that their immutable and
heaven-born principles should be made the
playthings of corrupt and unprincipled politi-
clans They will visit the heads of these of
tenders with swift and just retribution =
Mr.. Broderick may control the Senate now,
but he cannot do so another session. Induce
another Senator to embrace Broderickism-
consumate the various schemes which have
retarded the action of the legislature, and
against which the democracy have struggled,
if such course is deemed conciiatory. The
Lieut.. Governor, it has been claimed favors
the scheme of disfranchisement and His Ex-
celency, Gov Bigler, the created tool of Brod-
erickism, from the Benecia Convention will
lend his influence One more Senator who is
simply desirous of healing the breach now di-
viding the democracy, and the casting vote of
Lieut.. Governor Purdy, in all human proba-
bility, will consumate the foul scheme But
as sure as effect follows cause, will it recoil on
those lending themselves to its accomplish
ment The Augean Stables will be thorough
ly cleansed, and those whom the people have
trusted, and who have thus proved treacher-
GUS to the confidence reposed in them, will be
Indignantly hurled from the positions they
polluted, and can dabble no more in the af-
fairs of State they have disgraced Should
they consumate this injustice to the State
should the legislature by consumating this act
declare that the people are not competent to
decide who shall represent them in the United
States Senate-they will adopt the surest
means of throwing the State into the hands of
the whi gs Who that is familiar with the pro-
cee3ings of the Broderick faction, doubts that
such will be the result of the election at the
present session. The utter contempt exhibit
ed by the Broderick faction for the rights of
the people--the after recklessness of the
Broderick financial agents of the State who
are retained after the infiction of a severe
blow at our credit, can never meet the solemn
sanction of the people at the ballot box
Gentlemen legislators! Lay not that hatter-
ing JUNCTION to your souls" for certain as the
approaching ides of September, will the dis
grace be wiped from the archives of our State
The democratic party are not the Slaves of
unprincipled politicians. They will never
sanction the usurpation of an election at the
present session-they will not endorse the ac-
ton of the States financial agents, who would
ruin the credit of the State that they might
have the means of accomplishing their own
aggrandizement. They will not sanction the
extravaganza now permitted by the Broder-
ick faction, for the purpose of rewardng the
tools who have succumbed to their influence

paid for printing, for the purpose of reward

tion an annual five months session of the leg
islature, when the legitimate business could

democracy will never recognize those who, un-
der the plea of harmonizing the division in
the democratic ranks, throw their influence
with faction who have brought disgrace up
on the democracy. These, in our estimation,
are few items which the democracy will not
sanction, even after Senator May shall have
done ''all in his power to heal the breach now
dividing the democracy"
There is another important item, doubtless
overlooked by them in their patriotic efforts
to pour oil upon the troubled waters Of de-
mocracy. The cry of 'Repealr' will be
raised ''from Siskiyou to San Diego" and will
be carried triumphantly What harmony
will then be exhibited between the democracy
and the Broderick faction. 1t would bewell
for them to calculate how far an election
