"Mystery," which has recently been
discovered by the very intelligent
conductors of the ponderous opposi
ton press at the seat of government.
The first article upon this great
mystery 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
tlcle 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 a 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
cam How very ungenerous, in the
General! We are surprised that
the American should have fallen into
SO palpable an error. We had cx-
pected to see this Nestor of the Cal
ifornia press, expose the Ignorance of
its contemporary, and laugh at their
silly and ridiculous conclusions: We
were mistaken. The American ex-
tricates itself, shows it's 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-
gling' 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 60 step
further, and agree to abuse ex-Gov-
crnor 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 a legitimate right to re-
ply to "New Yorker" on the 18th. 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 citizens,
and putting forth its yapid 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 KnowNothing and Republican
press Of California, and that, too, by
leading organs which assume to tell
the people whom they should choose
Tor their public servants. The hum
Dugglng impostors Their owing
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 book, to be enti-
tied "The Mystery, or, knowing moth

OF When discovery is made which is cal
culated to benefit mankind, it becomes the duty
of every good citizen to avail themselves of the
results arising therefrom. In accordance with
these views, we feel it our duty to bring to the
notice of our readers the extraordinary merits
of a medical discovery known as Carter's Span
ish Mixture. 1t is the most powerful, effectual
and certain remedy for all diseases of the blood
yet brought before the public. 1t has perma-
nently and positively cured more than ten thou
sand cases of the worst forms of Blood Disease,
such as, Scrsfula, Rheumatism, Liver Disease.
Syphilis, Fever and Ague, and other kindred
diseases, many of which set at naught the ply
scan's skill, and laugh at all the ordinary eft.
forts of science to conquer and subdue them
While Carter's Spanish Mixture contains no
Mercury, Opium, or anything injurious. yet its
success in curing disease has left it without a
rival and wherever it has become known is
regularly prescribed by physicians who are fully
conscious of its effects, and avail themselves
of its merits because it has deserved their COM
mendation. 1t would be better to try it in time
the sooner the better .'29. ---. =. -,.s:i-.
