principle, right and justice, what justification
ture will be whigr' By this argument they
unblushingly proclaim to the world, that the
people will stultify themselves, by electing
men unfit to represent them They confess
that they fear the people-that they are ter
rifed by the unterrifed demonstration that is
being made against their reasonable, nefari-
GUS and damnable schemes of fraud and cor
ruption, and well may their consciences strike
terror to their guilty souls. fthis measures
advocates are honest in their efforts if they
are sincere in their motives if their candi-
date, D. C. Broderick, is a man of that tow
ering genius and worth, that overshadows the
twinkling luminaries, be and his friends have
rels to his brow Each day and month, would
add fresh flowers to his victorious wreath
This impetuosity creates hoyrid suspicious in
the peoples mind
Men are democratic or whig from principle.
1t is with them conviction. that establishes
in their own minds right from wrong, justice x
liberty from Tyranny and oppression. The
State is now democratic. The Federal and
State patronageis is in the hands of the democ-
racy and the advocates of those principles
that have carried her triumphantly through
many hard fought battle, and we say TO
those gentlem who are discussing matters that
they should not, if they so demean themselves
that, by their acts and doings, the great par
ty of progress and reform shall be brought
in disrepute, and hurled from power, it is
right that it should be so. 1t is right that
the peoples will in all things should be su
preme. 1t is for this supremacy that we have
and ever shall battle, against all odds, con-
epiracies and combinations. This measures
opponents insist that it should be deferred,
that the people may have an opportunity to
discuss the merits and character of the differ
ent aspirants, that they may form an eulight
ened judgment in the matter.--Whilst its ad
vocates, urge that the matter shall no be de-
layed-that the deed must be sealed by the
present legislature, and lay the flattering unc-
ton to their souls, that ''they, from their po-
sition," are COMPETENT to decide in this mat
ter. If this be democracy we know not what
tyranny is 1t was against this sin of being
governed by men, in whose selection and cleo
tion they had no part, that our forefathers
waged a righteous and successful war.

advocates who have affiliated themselves with
the press that denounced our Benicia nomi-
nations-that done all in their power to bring
disgrace and defeat upon our party.-By men
who have enlisted in the one man poverty
men who bolt their allegiance to the admins
tration, and in their address fearlessly de
nounce it; and by men who have for their
leader, Mr.. Broderick, who in 81, refused to
go into caucus to nominate U. S. Senator.
for the term commencing March 4, 81. and
who voted with the Wigs, on their motion
that the whole matter should be adjourned
until the 1st day of January '52-nine months
after the commencement of the term, s'in order
that the Senatorial question might be thrown,
like fre-brand, into the next general can
vass, to consume our narrow aggregate ma
jorities, to feed in our large and closely bal
anced counties bitter and distracting feuds,
whig electoral minority, to curse our empire
in the National halls with barren sceptre
and divided rule
1t is believed that the first communication
on this subject, emenated from San Francisco
correspondent of the State Journal, over the
name of ANDREW" 1t purported to note it
as fact, that the Senatorial question was
spoken of as matter that would be presented
to the present legislature, for its considera
ton, clearly indicating, at the same time, his
preference for Mr.. Broderick, and that the
election should be brought on this winter -
This was the entering wedge. Not long after
this, the democratic central committees ad-
dress came out. with its fierce denun Citations,
accommodating all those whom they con-
ceived to be luke-warm in the cause, baptizing
them as boilers and turning them over to
the enemy. The address, though silent on the
subject, assumed an attitude and tone clear
ly indicating, that it was by the committee $
Herculean labor that our party triumphed.
They blew their own trumpet loud and deep,
and their self laudation and congratulation,
