Butte record., 1856-12-27

The Sacramento American of
has an article on the great
''Mystery," which has recently been
discovered by the very intelligent
conductors of the ponderous opposi-
tion press at the seat of government.
The 'first article upon this great
intimated that the American
Bulletin and Record were acting in
concert, for the purpose of creating
sympathy for Mr.. Broderick. The
American puts in an Indignant de-
NAL" of any completely in the mat
ter, but falls into the error of sup
posing that We had replied to an ar
ticle in the Bulletin Of the 10th, in
our edition of the 18th, and con-
cludes that both articles were written
by the same person, that We had
published the one furnished us day
too soon, and, therefore the ''game
has been exposed at the very start,
and the Bulletin and Record may
wiggle out of it the best way they
can." How very ungenerous, in the
General! We are surprised that
the American should have fallen into
so palpable an error. We had ex-
pected to see this Nestor of the Cal
ifornia press, expose the ignorance of
its cotemporary, and laugh at their
silly and ridiculous conclusions. We
were mistaken. The American ex-
tricates itself, shows its ignorance of
the contents Of exchanges and grants
us the privilege of wiggling out of the
dilemma, if we can. The American
is doubtless doing some tall ''wig-
Cling" about this time! As if con-
scious that it had got beyond sound
ings, the American promises to have
nothing more to do with the Senate
rial question. If it will go step
further, and agree to abuse ex-Gov-
ernor Bigler no more, We will let the
American "wiggle" out of it's present
quandary, and say no more about it.
We presume the American is salts
fed about the matter by this time,
and will undoubtedly acknowledge
that we had legitimate right to re-
ply to sNew Yorker" on the 17th. as
his first assault upon Mr.. Broderick
appeared in the Bulletin of the 18th.
This grand display of ignorance
on the part of the Union and its cor
respondents, will hardly deter that
humbugging journal from assailing
the characters of prominent citizehs,
and putting forth its vapid and
senseless speculations upon ''Mat-
ters Senatorial" There never was
such display of ignorance and stu
pidity before exhibited by the press
of any State, as this mystery which
has been explained SO learnedly by
the Know Nothing and Republican
press CT California, and that, too, by
leading organs which assume to tell
the people whom they should choose
for their public servants. The hum
bugging impostors Their own lg-
norance and stupidity are their prin-
cipal weapons against the Democ-
racy.
We propose, as soon as Broderick
and McCorkle are elected to the
Senate, to publish a book, to be enti-
tied "The Mystery, or,knowing moth
ing; tale of the Sacramento Union!''
Editors of Know Nothing and Black
Republican organs, will be furnished
with a copy gratis.
IT is the opinion of some of the
California Journals that Walker and
his followers are about gone in
They assert that he has displayed a
great lack of Generalship, and that
his officers and men have lost all con-
fidence in him. 1t is asserted also,
that his policy in having Generals
Corral and Salazar shot, has embit-
tered the whole native population
against him, and that the war in Mic
