Who Began the War?

The above is the language used in the
closing paragraph of the "Address" of the
Broderick members Of the last Legislature.
This is the language of the Hons. TuttIe,
Myres, Fairfield, O'Neill and Van Cleft.
This is the language used by those profess
sing to be Democrats, in speaking of
certain measure which they had deter
mined to bring about Thus began the
war. And now they seem anxious the
war should end!
The Editor of the Democrat in particu-
lar appears weary Of the Senatorial ex
citement. He asks "why all this cry
about Broderick, Broderickites. and the
Broderick faction," and wishes the people
to dry up. He dare not now speak open
ly through his columns in favor of a mea-
sure, which was pronounced "the test"
An attempt was made to trample upon
the rights Of the people, and they are in
suited ny a request to remain silent, but
it cannot be. Those who threw the brand
into the camp are not able to quench the
flames. They have raised a spirit which
they can neither control or Danish. They
have sown the wind and are reaping the
whirlwind.
In Tuolumne county, the bold insulting
and disorganizing "Address,' has been
thrown hack into the face Of the Hon.
MIR. Croffroth. Other counties have, or
will, soon follow suite-and those who
planted themselves upon the platform,
whose only plank was "bring on the elec-
tion," will see that it was destitute of
support. =,
Our neighbor of the Democrat, and all
others who favored the measure, know
full we'll who began the war--know with
whom the feud originated. They know
who proclaimed the conflict perpetual-
But, they were defeated! They have
come back to the people, and NOW "the
time is ripe for judgment" The crisis has
arrived for action. The masses of the
State are examining the roll to see who it
was that attempted to trample upon their
rights-who it was that denounced those
who differed from them as "Bolters,"
while they themselves were engaged in
wanton attack upon the national Admins
tration. When the deserved rebuke has
been administered when this Broderck
faction has been taught lesson they ,ciH
remember, and when they own that those
who held contrary opinions to them may
be as good democrats as themselves, then
the excitemant may cease. The war;,
declared by them perpetual, may end.
AFEw MORE LEFr.-William Spearin,
who is mining on the Auburn Ravlne
about half mile below town, took out
on Wednesday last lump of pure gold
weighing 81 ounces, worth over $500.
In the same pan was another lump wei gh-
ing over 2 ounces. Mr.. S has taken out
of the same claim, within the past mouth,
over $4,000. We like to hear of such
yields in our nei ighborhood, indicating as
it does, that there is chance for those
who choose to apply themselves to labor.

ming Scenes"
HERE THEY CONE. 1.-The "advance
guard" of the emigration this season.,

On Thursday last we were visited by Mr..
Crawford, WHO was one of the number
He left Salt Lake Valley on the 2sth of
April last, making the journey through
to this State in about six weeks. He gave
us an interesting account of the Mormons
and there adopted home. 1t is expected
many of the Mormons will leave for San
Bernardno this spring. By the latest ac-
counts the Eastern emigrants had ad-
