The Rogusites and the whigs.

1t is generally known that the grand NOV
ing cause of the present division of the demo-
cratic party. was disappointment in not being
appointed to fill the various federal offices in
lists faction. were applicants for the various
Offices in the gift of the present administra-
ton, and failing to OBTAIN them, they array
ed themselves against the administration, and
by shrewd management in contributing to the
morbid hunger for the spoils of ofice, succee-
ded in inducing many members of the Legis-
lature to join them. Their first open declam-
tons against the present democratic admins
ton, was made at the Foote and Wool dinner
in San Francisco last winter. This, in other
States would pass for downright, legitimate
bolting. But we are willing they should cali
it what they please. Only we insist that their
impelling cause for deserting the National
Democratic Administration, was such as usu-
ally actuates genuine boilers, and that their
subsequent acts are similar to those of bolters
since the organization of parties. But they
object to the name of boilers, and insist that
they are the genuine and only simon pure de-
mocracy. Their acts notwithstanding the
resolutions adopted at their association in
Carpenters Building, have been dieectly at
variance with the National democracy They
have denounced the national administration
uttered groans when the name of Franklin
Pierce was mentioned. They have denounced
nm acknowledged democratic measure-the
Nebraska bill-and stigmatized democratic
Congress which passed the bill, "as northern
doughfaces. led on by a western political
charlatan" This sweeping assertion was
made by Mr.. Bryan, of Yuba, and was direct
ed against the democracy of such men as
Lewis Cass, and Stephen A. Douglass. The
Nebraska bill was an administration meas
ure, and although their resolutions professed
to support the administration, they maintain
profound silence upon that important meas
ure, and we are obliged to rely upon their or
acles for obtaining their views and find them
as above. There is a beautiful similarity, in
the views of Mr.. Bryan, one of the leading
seceders, and the whig party The whig con-
yention, like the one at Carpenters building,
was silent upon this question. But Mr.
Baker, of San Francisco, one of the great
guns of whiggery in California, in addressing
the convention at Sacramento, said he would
not permit Mr.. Douglass and his Nebraska
bill to come between him and his whig pro.
'fessions" Mr. Peyton, another great gun of
whiggery, 'denominated the Nebraska bill of
Mr.. Douglass one of the veriest humbugs ever
brought before Congress- We have quo
ted sufficient to convince our readers that the
whig party, and the eectionsts are united
against the democracy of California, and of
the Union. We make one more quotation
upon this subject, from that violent abolition
sheet the New York Tribune. 1t harmonizes
beautifully with the sentiments avowed
by the wings and boilers of California. In
commenting upon a recent speech of Mr.
Douglass, that paper says: 'The lying little
william knows this to be stepped in falsehood-
But We ought not to have
wasted so many words on this miserable crea-
ture with his impudent, brazen sophistry,"-
Here we have fusion of odds and ends, abo.
litionists and disappointed Office seekers, uni
ted with the whig party to overthrow the de-
moorscy Of California We trust the democ.
