Tricks or the Enemy.


old game of endcavoring to create dissen-
sions and divisions in the Democratic ranks,
and their papers 90 before the public, in
weekly and daily editions, freighted with
the productions of professed democrats,
"Unwavering Democrats" and articles cop
led from papers protesting Democracy
The same attempts were made through the
same sources, previous to the Senatorial
election. but failed. The object then was,
not to secure the success of the Democratic
party, but the elevation of particular men
in the Democratic ranks. The same inhu-
ences are now at work, to secure the sue
cess of men, instead of advocating the prin-
cples of the party. The professed Demo-
Gratis engaged in this movement, are the
men who. in 1866, threw the State into the
hands of the Know Nothing party. This
resulted in plundered treasury, and the
destruction of the State credit. They are
willing to ruin, if they cannot rule, and
have demonstrated the fact that they will
do it when they can
The cry of these unprincipled and recre-
ant Democrats now is, that Senator Broder-
ck is arrayed against the administration of
Mr.. Buchanan. So says democrat" a
cOrrespOnt Of the Sacramento Union, and so
SAYS the Placervlle Democrat, and the
Democratic Senator and his friends, are de-
nounced as ''mOes," as "Jacobins," and as
buccaneers" &c. The effrontery of these
men is only equalled by their forgetfulness.
They have forgotten the State Convention
which met in Sacramento, one year ago, for
the purpose of electing delegates to the Ma
tional Convention. They shave forgotten
that Mr.. Broderick and his friends favored
the proposition to instruct our delegates to
the National Convention to cast the vote of
the State for James Buchanan. They have
forgotten that their friends opposed this
proposition. They have forgotten that some
of their peculiar friends, who now profess
to be the only friends Of Mr.. Buchanan's
administration in California, who were sent
as delegates to the National Convention, dis
obeyed the instructions of the State Con-
vention and voted in opposition to Mr.. Bu-
chanan's nomination. They have apparently
forgotten these facts, which are matters of
history, In their new born love for Mr. Bu
chan's administration, generated in them,
since the arrival of the steamer announcing
the appointment of their friends to the
Federal Offices of California. Reeking with
treachery and drunk with spoils, these loud
mouthed patriots would fain believe that all
who have not received federal appointments
in California, are opposing the National adj
ministrauon Their efforts are to render
their seats secure, without regard to the
success of the Democratic party in the
State, and if necessary to do it, they would
shiver the Democracy of California into
fragments.
We repeat that We have no objections to
the Federal appointments in California. So
far as our acquaintance extends with them
they are Democrats whom we esteem and
respect, and cannot see the policy of their
friends in making these fierce and unwar-
ranted assaults upon portion Of the Dem
ocratic party, unless they fear fair ex-
preston of the party may not be favorable
to them.
