Inselenss of the Broderlck Myrmiions.

addressed TO Hon. B. +. kEENE, requesting
him to use all endeavors to heal the differences
now existing in the democratic party The
Democrat contains severe structures upon this
attempt Of the corrupt and plundering horde
headed by Broderick, to cast odlum upon Mr.
Keene, and to create the impression that the
democracy are to blame for the state of af-
fairs existing at the capitol during the pres
ent session of the legislature. Mr.. Keene is
. high minded, honorable democrat and pop
ular representative. & will treat this cont emp
tible trick of Broderick's purchased political
serves. Mr.. Keene, in connection with other
true and tried democrats has pursued
straight forward, honest and consistent course,
and will not be turned aside by the tricks of
political renegades and gamblers.
Another contemplate trick of the corrupt
and unscrupuous herd Of political beggars in
the employ of Broderick, Palmer Cooke s. Co.,
ia q notice contained in the Sacramento papers
for democratic meeting. to take place at the
Assembly Hall, for the purpose of considering
the 'present condition and future prospects of
the democratic party" The notice is signed
by the tools Of Bro erick, Palmer Cook & Co.
and has no more to do with the democratic
party, than the call for an abolition caucus
should have. 1t would seem though, that
those miserable tools who sold themselves to
Broderck, Palmer, Cooke & Co for the pur-
pose Of bringing ruin and disgrace upon the
State. are exhibiting symptoms of "a death bed
repentance. The democracy saved the State
from the disgrace which Broderick would have
brought upon her. and Sherman, Duncan &
Co., averted the blow aimed by Palmer, Cooke
& Co., to destroy her financial credit And
now the democracy are requested to meet in
caucus, in the legislative halls which Broder-
ick with his purchased tools has disgraced,
and with the solemnity of legislative enact
ment, purchase back and take to their bos-
oms the willing though unsuccessful tools Of
fraud and corruption. We earnestly hope
those Representatives who have SO nobly op-
posed the schemes of corruption and self-ag-
grandizement, and saved the honor of the
State and the brth-right of her citizens, will
do nothing the kind. The democracy can
never succeed after a coalition with the cor
ruption and dishonesty attached to Broderick
and his purchased minions. The extent of
the breach demands no such action The sin
disgrace of the compact would overbalance
their numbers if their name was legion. 1t
is treating dishonesty and corruption, with
its handful Of purchased tosdies and weather
vsnes, with too much consideration. The du-
~ Of the democracy is plain and unmistakable
their path straight forward in opposition to
those who now seek their embrace, that they
may again be placed in positions to disgrace
the State and ruin her credit. The democracy
cannot succeed at the ballot box with the in
sriguing corruption Of Broderick, Palmer,
Cooke & Co. attached to them, but will be
borne down by the overwhelming voice of a
dishonored and outraged people. 1t is not the
over such corruption, and whenever it has
been done, they have been overthrown. The
democracy should form no alliance with
those who seek to disfranchise, the people
and enrich themselves upon the dishonored
aud PROSTATE credit of California. Such
course will never win. California will not be
gulled a second time and knowingly, by Brod-
erick, Palmer, Cooke & Co.
The democracy of California should leave
the Broderick, Palmer, Cooke & Co. faction
TO dispose Of themselves as, in their abund-
ance Of wisdom they may see fit, and 60 to
work determined to keep clear of the del
eterious effects of their influence. To appear
at the ballot-box denouncing their corruption
and with the determination to free the State
from their palsying influence, and place her
in the position where she belongs, seems to be
the present duty Of the democracy. The
Broderiek tribe under euch circumstances
would possess no power to stay the onward
march Of democracy, and would be at liberty
to fall back into the ranks, as high privates.
or 80 oto-Texas, as they may choose. To
purchase them back, in our estimation, will
be for the democracy to purchase their own
downfall.
