lC SENATOR FUTILE has favored us with
his speech, III favor Of the Sentorial cleo
ton, at the present session NJ. Tuttle it
will be remembered first signed the iemon-
STRANGE against the election, and afterwards
signed MIR Wilkes famous majority report"
SO that he now stands before the people of
California both in favor Of and opposed to the
election. We have not read the document
but suppose it is conclusive and satisfactory
at least to Mr.. Tuttle--and establishes the
fact that a senator should be elected during
the present session. 1t has probably been
sent to US for the purpose Of eliciting an opn-
ion, or-we start at the idea-possiby for the
purpose Of inducing US to embrace Broler-
ickism. But we do not believe iu camp meet
ing conversions. Still We would undertake to
read the document if we had some assurance
that Mr.. Tuttle would not again change his
mind aud oppose the election, although the
copy before US looks as though it had been
printed upon type worn down to the third
nick. We should suppose person interested

But Mr.. Tuttle is not responsible for the me-
chanical appearance of the workout if it
had been issued in a neat manner, we should
predict for 1t great sale. and the issuing OF
several editions. But although Mr. Tuttle,
IRON his position, may see things that the
people cannot" it is is believed that he does
not ''see himself as others see him. or he
would not have been found upon both sides OF
this question. We are fearful that Mr.. Tuttle
has gone in beyond his depth. In his anx-
iety to become politician, he has shown too
much vascillation, and those who how use
him, will soon become tired OF him, and turn
him out to grass. He could not resist the
Wilkesonian eloquence of the s'majority re-
port and when informed that, the roll was
then being called, and as the soldiers an
swered they took sides forever" his martial
spirit was aroused-the appeal went home to
his "Pheehnks' and he enlisted and was off
to the wars! Oh, Mr.. Tuttle ! how could YOU
do So

on Wednesday last, loaded down with passen-

Wyandott and Honcut city to Marysville -
The same company ran on this road last year

travel is sufficient to warrant them in running

Ezs- We have been informed that Broderck
and his retainers again beseiging the cap
itol Ii possible their schemes are yet to be
accomplished But we do not believe that
the Senate can be induced to again consider
the proposition, at the present session. The
Assembly stands his willing slaves, ready to
elect his organs state printers, or otherwise
obey their embodiment. The Senate have
once saved the honor of the State and of the
democracy. Let us "watch, hope and pray"
that may remain stea fast. The 'pipe-lay
ing" of Broderick and his tools, for the gov
ernment of future elections, is not to be fear
ed, for the appearance hereafter of one of his
tools before the democracy for future favors,
will be the signal for sending him "up the
spout" Such course will but temporarily
defeat the democracy, and will rid them of Il
faction whose corruption and Vaccinations if
retained, must bring dishonor and defeat up
on the party. The present legislature may
possibly elect Broerick State printer, in
which event it is supposed, that the proceeds
of the Office will be divided something after
the plan of the "Conness contract" amongst
those papers Of ''easy virtue" which have lent
their aid to Brolercks elevation, their own
aggrandizement aud the destruction of the
democratic party.
