GwIN REPUDIArEs BRopERICK

The Ereniag Star published ar Wash
ington City, in its issue of February Is,
contains leader headed "Senator
Gwin," which will make the Broderick
ties open their eyes and stare. The ar
ticle, from its positive and confidential
tone, was evidently prepared under the
supervision of Mr.. Gwin himself. There
is also the conclusive evidence of
Gwin's endorsement, in the fact that
large bundles of the papers containing
the article have been sent to his par
ticular friends i'll the California Legisla-
ture, and number have been distribu-
ted by them throughout the State. The
gist of the article in few words, is
simply this: Gaoin utterly rcpudiates
Broderick, and denies that tie latter as
sisted him IN getting to tie Senate.
The article commences by alluding to
the unceasing political and personal as
saults which have been made upon Gwin
for the last three years, to prevent his
recollection. 1t says, "the parties" en-
gagged in the warfare against him, have
resorted to everything low and mean,
including bargain and sale, and the ''se-
ductive influence of unblushing corrup-
tion," to defeat him. Then follows a
great deal of glorifcation over the fact
that, Gin the face cf so powerful a COM
bination his triumphant nomination in
caucus" astonished and dismayed his
enemies. - 1t is then asserted, that
"the same parties who labored so ener-
getically to defeat him, became equally
industrious in circulating and publishing
slanderous imputations upon the manner
in which his nomination had been secur-
ed" The Star says that Gwin had not
time before leaving California, to refute
these slanders, but that eve now" take
occasion to set him right before the peo-
pie. 1t says, further, that Gwin didn't
exactly understand things before he left
this State, and that he made some mis-
takes in the address" which he pub
lished to his friends here We have only
room for the following additional extract:
"In reference to the address to the
people of California, which was publish
ed on the day succeeding his election,
hau o,,1x- fO Of fbo+ of
denouncing in justly severe language
the monstrous abuse of federal patron
age to detect him, it embodied his sim
cere Acknowledgements for services
which he at that time supposed had been
generously rendered by one aohO had hith-
erto stood IN position toarards him of
personal and political hostility. He must
have felt generous pride in acknowl-
edging what he had then deemed the
magnanimity Of an honorable riical who
was willing to sacrifice to the public
veal the bitter personal resentments
which years of warfare had engendered.
But developments subsequent to the pub
lication of the address, and declarations
of members of the Legislature whose
votes on the last ballot necaucus caused
DIR. Gwin's nominations, places it be-
yond dispnte that he acas led into an
error IN sapposiag lie lad receired any
such support which was not rendered at
any time from the commencement to the
close of the contest
He was indebted for his success to the
rozuntary, uninfuenced and un6ought suf-
frages of those members of the legisla-
ture who voted for him in caucus"
Thus, it seems, that Broderick has not
been able to bind up Gwin as tightly as
his friends supposed. The Broderickites
appear to be the parties who were sold
after all. Wonder how they'll stand
it! VIII they expose the whole thing
Oh beautiful and harmonious, and pure
and immaculate California democracy |!
And, above all, oh oh poor betrayed
Broderickites We could sympathize
with you, if there were not many wor-
thier objects for our charitable piety
