The Late BrOderick Caucus.


The Late BrOderick Caucus.
The friends of the would be Senator,
professing great love for the democratic
marty, recently issued call for caucus,
in which they expressed a desire to heal
,he differences in the party. Several of
the members believing that the Broderick-
ties were inclined to be sincere attended
the caucus, but were soon undeceived rs
% their intentions to heal differences, by
the passage of the following resolution
Resolved, That, in the opinion Of this
convention, the subject Of the election of
III. S. Senator by the present Legisla-
,ure of this State, is matter Of para
,oonnt importance, having a vital connec-
ZION with the difficulties that now distract
the harmony Of the party, and that the
election of U. S. Senator at the present
time. would tend directly to heal present
divisions, ensure future harmony--and
nromote alike, the prosperity of the State,
and the ascendancy of the democratic
party.
MIR. Huburt was so indignant at this
presumption and absurdity, that he took
his hat to leave, when he was requested
nv the President to remain. He, how
ever, only stopped long enough to give
vent to his feelings in this wise:-
Mr.. PREsIDENr:-As | said before,
came here sincerely to do all could for
the purpose of harmonsing the party.
i saw call for that purpose, and
thought that it was in good faith;
but | see it is for the purpose of car
rying through that to which the dis
senting party is opposed. spoke with
many members of the so called "Bolters,"
and they all say that they would rather
lose their right arm than to vote for
Senatorial election this year. Now, sir,
the whole proceedings are wrong, and
they cannot have my sanction. The dis
senting party is smarting under the accu-
sation Of the majority address. They
were called Boilers 1t was stated that
they were leagued with Custom House
officers, and even that they were bought.
You cannot expect that they will attend
any meeting unless it is plainly stated
what proceedings will be held. The re-
marks of the honorable Senator Mr..
Bryan) would have been very good, if we
had a full attendance; but the whole is
entirely e1 parte and OF no avail. fyou
bass the resolutions have just heard read
it is a complete ruin of the party; and in
deed the parties who refused to attend
will say-'sSee if we did not expect some
deception; see if they did not intend to
entrap u.s." No, sir, cannot stay, and
must leave the room.
MIR. Hubert then walked out. ..
"Harmonise the party" Do the Brod-
erickites think they can harmonise the
party by still attempting one of the basest
frauds that was ever conceived of, upon
ain Intelligent constituency. No, the de-
sire of these bogus democrats is to elect
Broderck to the U. S. Senate, and then
the s'harmony" of the party will be
laughed at by these Caucusites as very
good joke to entrap those who opposed
the Senatorial election. But their scheme
avaiIed them nothing. The resolution
we quote was too fimsy a vail; the
scheme WAS seen ut u glance, and they
now stand before the people more obnox-
take his satellites and withdraw from the
seat Of government, for he never will be
able to accomplish his object. There are
too many high-mnded men in the Legisla-
ture who never will surrender the rights
of their constituents to aid him in his
personal aspirations. That's settled, sure.
A CHANCE FOR CURTAILING EXPENSES
DR.. Coleman has submitted proposition
to the legislature, to do the State Printing
for 20 per cent less than the prices allow
ed by the bill of MIR. Talmadge; and on
Monday last, Mr.. j. G. Haswel sent
communication to the Senate, offering to
do the printing for cS per cent less than
the said bill contempates. We shall see
what action the Broderickites take upon
these propositions. We venture the pre-
diction but few of them will favor either
of the above offers, while there is any
chance of rewarding their pet papers for
advocating the Senatorial election.
