That is one side of the picture, bu
notwithstanding this volcanic eruption
of indignation and astonishment, th'
people thought proper to elect the maj

''the peculiar virulence of popular indig

Gently threatened his instant destruc-
tion," &c.
But after election, change came
over the spirit of their dreams, and this
same paper solicited the victim of theil
rage to become its correspondent. Their
it was that articles like the following
from the Pacific News began to ap
pear:
''The sequel of his history is wei
known. A man of warm and generous
impulses, he may have erred in overac
ting his part; but his error leans to yir-
tues side. He did not expect honor
or emolument. He wished simply tc
stand on the right, the truth, and if he
might, the Tar. But the law turned
a. deaf ear His suit was disregarded,
and blood was spilled in consequence.
= Let US not condemn
those who are unheard. Place DR.. Rob
inson to-day in New York or Boston, or
in any other of the great cities of the
land, and he would become the very
hero of all admirers. Let it be seen and
understood that he is simply asking for
a hearing, and that he stands firmly
on the right, and he would command
the homage of millions. If We do
not greatly err, he is yet, to be in Cali
fornia one of the heroes such as are pro-
duced by the conflict of great questions,
and whose name shall be regarded as lin
ked forever with the destinies of our
young State
The above was written by a person
unknown to me. and it is of course over
drawn. as much as the other from the
Times, butt perhaps is entitled to as
much credit as the Free STATE.
To show what my misdeeds were in
the Legislature l will copy from the cor
respondence of the Sacramento Trans
eript by brother Of the Governor of
the State. He says:
my acquaintance with the Doctor
commenced with this session ofthe Leg
islature. and am proud to sayit is a
happy acquisition. have always
found him highly honorable, gentle
manly man. A man of bold and deci-
sive character, and as far as the writer
is enabled 10 Judge, his constituents
may rest assured that they will be truly
represented. The Squatters have reason
to be proud of such Representative,
and indeed all the Representatives of the
Sacramento District, who make a fuii
team and bard to beat.
my remarks relative to DR.. Robinson,
[ will venture to say, will be endorsed
By every member of both branches, (of
the Legislature and l feel satisfied that
the Representatives of Sacramento Dis
trict viii be enabled to give a good ac-
count to their constituents
From the correspondence of MEM
Der of the same Legislature, formerly
from Texas, extract the following:
"The unfortunate affray that occurred
on the l4th of August last has by the iu-
fiuence of cowardly and corrupt men
been the cause of much trouble aud ex-
pense to him. But a change has come
over the spirit of their dreams
.'Their tongues are mute. their arms
are palsied, and the great aud mighty
feeling that sgitates the bosoms OF the
people of this State at present is respect
for the prosecuted, and disgust for those
who were then in power. E6en, when
Americans, the brayest sons of freedom,
were leaning on their arms. and the broad
folds of the f.g of our Union shaded
the scene of carnage, he, wounded and
weak from the loss of blood, when his
breath came faint and slow, and the
thread of life seemed parting, was rudely
thrust into the dark damp vault of a
prison, and left to die. NoU how
changed. The people with one mighty
voice have spoken. The doors Of tbs
prison are opened. and he Is now the
representative of q free people. doing
himself honor and the State great service.
The mass respect and honor him for his
talent, for his unwayering adherence to
truth. and his plain frank manner of ex-
pressing his os 4. sentiments. But have
learned TO love him for his private worth,
his refined and philanthropic feelings.
He is surrounded by
many friends. and his enemies are but
shadows of q substance, and can in no
way inlure him. Since
writing the above we have passed bill
authorizing the District Attorney, Of
the 7th Judicial District to enter nolls
