Butte record., 1854-03-11
Hon. John w. Park.

We have received the card of this gentle
man addressed to his constituents, IN which
he declines further association with the bolt
ing Broderick faction The Supper to King
David placed the term of 'sboiter' upon those
to whom it properly belongs, and certainly
leaves that corrupt faction, in their true posi-
ton, arrayed against all precedent and against
the platform of the National Democracy. Mr..
Park was not prepared to thus attack the Ma
tional Democratic Administration, and thus
destroy the influence of California IN the Ma
tional councils. He did not believe that even
David Christ Broderick, could go to Washing
ton arrayed against the Federal administra-
tion with justice to California, or with honor
to her democracy. Notwithstanding the con-
slant declarations of the paper at Sacramento
that has heretofore acted with the Democratic
party to the contrary, Mr.. Park has but obey
ed the will of his constituents, and proved
himself reliable and honorable Democrat, in
declining further action with this ravenous
democratic clique.
The views put forth in Mr.. Parks card to
his constituents, are honorable alike to his
head and heart, and proves him a worthy
and intelligent Representative. If the Rep
resentatives would all obey the will of their
constituents upon this subject, whatever the
result might be, the democracy would acqui-
esce, although injustice might be done to the
Northern portion of the State. Mr. Parks
position will be ratified by the Democracy of
California They are not afraid to trust those
who trust them.
Since the above was in type we received the
following proposition of Hon. John W. Park,
which proposes to submit the question direct
ly to the people The patriotic slaves of King
David, dare not accept this proposition, well
knowing the ignominious reception that
awaits them at the hands of the people. 1t
might naturally be supposed however, if Mr..
Parks proposition was not accepted, the Brod
erick journals would cease their open and
glaring misrepresentation of the democracy
of California. 1t is not to be expected that
all of the papers in the employ of Broderick,
should cease to misrepresent the democracy,
but those who have hitherto acted with the
democratic party, if not disposed to urge the
acceptance of the proposition, and if they
have any respect for the will of the people, or
for themselves, should cease their outrageous
misrepresentation, and return to their duty.
The course pursued by Mr.. Park, at once
stamps him as an honorable man, and true
democrat. Dare ye meet it, ye cringing slaves
of the San Francisco Water Front,
To Hon. John F McBraycr, "A. Park, and Thomas R.
