II our worthy friend of the Democrat had taken
tho trouble to examine the records, he would
have been spared the pardonabe little piece of ro-
nance quoted above. We cay pardonable, because
his known zeal in the cause he has espoused renders
him incautious in his assertions and when his hot
nervous anxiety to carry his point has little time

than fiction, though it may be told in the glowing
STYLE and powerful eloquenco Of our amiablo and
accomplished friend of the Democrat.
During the second or third week ofthe session, Mr..
CRESsHAw Of Nevada, an active and influential op-
poser of the election this winter introduced bill
into the Senate fixing the time of electing U. S.
Senator 1t provided for the election next winter.
After considerable discussion at different times the
Senate agreed to make the question the special
der of the day for the 9th of March, Monday next
On the 2Sth of January pursuant to previous notice
Mr. GORDON, of Calaveras also an opponent of the
election introduced bill into the Assembly, fixing
the time of such election during the session OF 1856
This bill also the gauntlet of exciting discussion
and the subject was disposed of till Monday next,
the 9th inst.
This is the position of offairs at the present time.
The opponents of the Senatorial election commenced
the play carly 1t was doubtless their intention to
close the game before the other party had chance
to check-mate them. But they "reckoned without
their host )" and now can be heard the winnings
and rawlings of disappointed wirc-pullers, and the
silly wangs Of their echoes for the dear people,"
whom they affect to to love.
It was the opponents-not the friends--of MI.
Broderck that introduced this question into the
halls of the Legislature. 1t is his opponents who
are endeavoring to disturb the harmony of the De-
moeratic party, by the presentation of false issues
to the people, and by foully and maciousy perycrt-
ing known and established facts. They know well
that their isdesperate hence the efforts made
to poison the minds of the masses against their rep
rcsentatlves.
We are well aware Of the bitter hostility engen-
dcrod between the different wings of the party by
the introduction Of the Senatorial question into the
Legislature but the friends Of Mr. Broderck were
not the to crowd the issue prematurely upon
bo1y If ia tho frao1v
ed by them out session. previous toits introduction
and they intended at proper time, call attention
to it; therefore, when the issue was presented to
them, they did not shrink the contest nor waver in
the performance of that duty which deyolves on them
20 legislators and members Of the Democratic party
Had the friends of Mr.. Brodercls been in the mi
norty Of the Democratic members, we have every
reason to believe they would have adhered to the
good old Democratic doctrine-to submit to the will
Of the majority and unlike their opponents in the
present instance, they would not affiliated with the
Wings nor stroye to distract the party
The election of a Senator this winter, is one of
tho concontants of the Democratic victory last fall
1.-THE election is defeated one half of that victory
will be lost by the success Of the party we have SO
often and successfully contended with
There is no Disgusting the fact that those who
oppose the election this winter-the leaders, we
mean--a are affiliated with and are playing into the
hands of the Wings. This can be seen by the bra
zen erontery with which they pervert we'll attesed
historical facts in their unscrupuous endeavors to
manufacture and control public opinion, while at
the same time the Whig press bayng them on
IN their acts of treaclery and shame. Do they cx-
pcct that the great mass of the peoplethe intelli-
gent laboring ulan--those who WELD the pick and
shovel, and are so emnently democratic can be long
deceived by their misrepresentation If they do,
they will soon find their mistake
We know that the people of this country are a
democratic people-that they are scrupulousy jeal-
ous Of their rights, and guard them from any undue
usurpaton. They look with dstrust upon that man.
or set of men, who endeavors, by perversion and
nisrepresen tation, to widen the unhappy breach al
ready existing in the Democratic party: and soon
the indignant voice Of the Democracy will teach
these dsturbers of their harmony that though they
can tolerate for season the rawlings of imbecility
there is point beyond which it is imprudent to
venture, be the individual ever so hardy.
For the especial benefit and consolation of our
opponents, we would say-Manifest Destiny and
tho Democratic will of the people has decreed the
election of Senator this winter, from the fact that
the integrity and strength Of the party would be
impaired by the delay, and all the msrepresenta-
lions and the manufacturing of public opinion by
its opponents cannot alter the result And what
is more the thunder tones of an outraged and in
