CALIFORNIA PoLrrrcs-THE SPLIT CoMpLErE
AMONG THE DEMocRAcY-We have published
the proceedings of the gathering of the demo-
Gratis Of California in their State convention at
Sacramento The affair was an exact repetition
o. the democratic explosion last year at Syracuse
The convention has split into two conven-
tons, with two sets of nominees for Congress-
and two sets OF resolutions. The Broderick
anti-administration hard shells 20 behind the
election Of Pierce and re-aifirm the principles
OF the Baltimore platform, giving the admins
tration the go-by. The anti. Broderick soft shell
party endorse the administration of Gen. Pierce
out-and-out. Frederick is the candidate of the
bards for the United States Senate, in the place
OF Gwin, and Broderick is the Daniel S. Dick
inson Of California. DR.. Gwin is the Senate
rial candidate Of the soft shells, and he holds
position among the California democracy anala-
gous to that Of Marcy in this State. The
wings, adopting the principles of the Nebraska
bill, have laid down liberal platform, with
the view of catching all the outside democracy,
and the result will probably be that they will
carry off the spoils, as in the late Missouri cleo
ton. 1t Is said that when David c. Broderick
went out to California he promised his friends
that Uncle Sam should pay his mileage back
again. He has been working to this end with
the industry Of beaver. Shall he be defeated?
