Mr. Broderck is bold and fearless possessing indom

ken II all the world in opposition In 1851 he tool
position against the probable excuses Of the rgilanc
committee and did much alay the excitement then er

Portsmouth Square, San Francisco and at the peril Of biz
life opposed the action Of the committee His commanding
eoquence stayed the storm and brought about reflection
and calmer elaboration.
The democratic party Of California has in times past
like that Of New York been divided men and on Local
questions and Mr. Broderick the leader OF one portion
has consequently made bitter enemies but now all dis
sessions worthy Of note are healed which was effected
through and by his influence and the party will unite
upon Buchanan and Breckenridge
