as much satisfaction as We desired ~ Mr. Bro d.

there neither is nor ought tn be any appeal
they stand aghiSt at the republican freedom
with which we have convasscd his course, and
the moderate terms with which We have cN'
pressed our modest opinion that his assaults
upon the Administration cannot be justified
They stood at first stupeIicd at our unusual
boldneSs. waiting perhaps to see whether the
"c"mct' would not destroy us for our prcSnini-
ton; but disappointed in this hope, have at
last attempted, by Il concatcnation Of squeals,
to fright the State from its pr"pricty" and 81
lencc our editorials. With every variety Of
yclping and barking, " Tray, Blanche and
Sweetheart, essay to divert our just resent
mcnt from their master. and the,cby to attest
their fidelity. 1t may be well 10 inform them,
once for all, that their generous iut,rpoNition
will moi be rewarded by large share Of our
atttrntion.
We confess thut we lo back with no little
c"mplaccncE To the good We have already cf-
trctcd by our timely cHpasurc ci Mr.. BREEDER

influences disturbing the natural order c!

OF lis mental power, or 'ihe moon coming near
or the earth and making men mad Our great
California lIlrirary "palrd his Intellectual fire"
in the WaShingiun rm..inrnt. Mr. Buclanan
somehow failed to give his undivided rGr" to
the eloquent Senator, and in The fever Of rage
the great David lay for several days rccunlbcni
ON his back and his PAST reputation. II soon
began to be whispered about that hc would
turn all his mighty energies against tie Ad-
ministration, and Ike Warwick, tile King

his genius had created Terror paed the
cheeks Of all, and far fell upon every heart.

Whole continent, and shook m glens Of tie
Atlantic coast and valleys of California. Fl
nally the mighty and fierce David returned TO
our midst, vowing Resentment and thirstirg for
the blood of his foes The fall cf tho .tdmiiIis-
tration was not doubted for moment, and the
only question was whether the Presidential
prophecies of his friends would b. fulfilled AT
once or the regular period Of election waited
for. The general impression was, however,
that the "mcttlc of his California pasturage'
would not brook an hours delay.
In this stageGf the drama, when the heartsof
all quakcd with fear, the JhUhtan Utm'cmt
raised its voice in support of the Adninistra-
ton. The effect has been truly magical We
have been promptly and repeatedly assured by
Mr.. Brodcrick 5 friends that so far from any de-
sire to PROSTATE Mr.. Buchanan, he cntcrtains
for him the warmest attachment and means 10
let the President lean on his own great arm for
support. For Mr.. Cobb he has Il peculiar re-
gard, and in fact cheriShcs him as the "aplle
of his eye" We soon expect to learn that he
is greatly pleased with the appointments, and
that Frank Washington and Major Solomon are
the very men cf all others that he especially
desired We are told that he does not intend
to stir Il 6nger in tie matter of the State Con-
vcntion, and is only solicitous that it should
endorse the Administration which Mr.. Broder
ick has installed at Washington! 1t is not im-

Now we ask what Democratic press has done
50 much for the party in IL short timey We
have converted most dangerous and implaca-
bic foe Of the Administration into warm, cr-

thereby simultaneously attached his whole ar

ey or political power; and by the simple tai
isman Of the birch have "taught the young idea
how 10 shoot" We turn to our Democratic
friends in triumph and ask them, with all COLI
fidence, WHO has dunc 50 much? Tie attacks
of Black Republicanism and the hostility Of
Know Nothingism were nothing to the danger
