Butte record., 1854-02-18
Another of New York's Favorite Sons.


of New York, fearing that they may be una
able to carry the State at the next election,
are endeavoring to play the same contempti
bic game in New York that the Broderickites
are attempting here, in order to re-eleet the
Abolitionist VIM. H. Seward. to the Senate of
the United States. Should these precious
plots to usurp the sovereignty of the people
succeed, New York and California will boast
brace of beautiful birds in the Senate of the
United States--Seward and Broderick.-
The aspirations of neither were hsped while
the election was before the people, or both of
them would probably have been drummed
from the political track. Aside from his abo-
litionism, Seward has some little talent-he
certainly can't have much, or he would not be
an abolitionist. He also, evidently feels that
he is disgrace to that honorable body, or he
would not attempt to steal into it with load
of wool on his back He is not republican
or he would not shrink from submitting the
question to the people. He is not honest in
the principles he processes or he would come
openly before the people, advocating his prin-
ciples and abide their decision. He is polit-
ical gambler, or he would not endeavor to gain
an election by fraud, when a fair expression
of the people would defeat him.
Now we presume there is not Broderick
journal in California, were they not commit
ted upon this question, but what would en-
dorse all we have said of Seward But they
have already gone to far to retrace their
steps. Every effort to place their favorite son
of New York, in the u S. Senate, is grand
political boost to the head and front-the liv-
ing embodiment--the very quintessence of alb
olitionism We are generous enough to believe
that the Broderick papers of this State were
not in the first place aware of the association
with which they were connecting themselves;
but merely thought that a transient digres-
sion from the path of rectitude, while it wo'd
assist them pecnniarly, would be ultimately
overlooked by the democratic party. We shall
shall expect, inasmuch as they have hereto
fore declared themselves honest in their
urging the election this winter, to see them
abondon it, and return to their duty A fur
ther continunce on the Broderick track, is
urging the election of VIM. H. Seward, its ne
cessity and expediency. When papers pro-
Tossing to be democratic, are found assisting
abolitionism to find its way into our national
councils, it is time that the democratic spirit
of the people should rise against the insult
thus forced upon them, Let abolitionism
make use Of fraud and corruption, and of con-
temptible political gambling, that it may
poison even the Senate of the u S., for it is
fit and proper that it should: That is the
manner in which it maintains all the vitality it
possesses; but democracy-the people, the will,
the voice of the great mass of the people of
California, can never stoop to such contempti-
BILE trickery even if it should desire to ele-
vate to Office the biggest bank in California.
But suppose by the aid of abolition trickery
both of these gambling candidates, should
find their way into the Senate, which will
rank as ''New York's. .favorite son. No. l; for
there will be two aspiring to the title, Seward
Broderick. The title would eventually fall
to Seward, as he will then represent that un-
fortunate State, while Broderick. even after
stealing Stewards thunder, has travelled
long journey before he found place to rep
resent, on the floor of the u S. Senate
If the Broderickites succeed in convincing
the people of California, that the quintessence
of abolititionism on the shores of the Atlantic
is genuine democracy on the shores of the Pa
cific, we shall set them down for better politi-
cal Jugglers than we have heretofore given
them credit for.
