Tricks of the Enemy.


The opposition press are practising their
old game of endcavoring to create dlssen-
sions and divisions in the Democratic ranks
and their papers 60 before the puolc' IN
weekly and daily editions. freighted with
the productions of professed Democrats
eUnwavering Democrats and articles cop

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 infiu-
enees are now at work, to secure the sue
cess of men. instead of advocating the prin-
ciples of the party. The protested Demo-
Gratis engaged in this movement, are the
men who. in 1855, 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-
lex is arrayed against the administration OF
Mr.. Buchanan. So says democrat
correspond of the Sacramento Union, and SO
says the Placervile Democrat, and the
Democratic Senator and his friends, are de-
nounced as s.moles," as ''Jaco bins,' and as
buccaneers &c. The effrontery of these
men is only equalled by their forgettulness.
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
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.. Blu
chanan's nomination. They have apparently
forgotten these facts, which are matters of
history, In their new born love for Mr. Blu
CHAINS 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
ministratlon 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
SILVER the Democracy of California into
thousand 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 a portion of the Dem
ocratic party, unless they yfear fair ex
preston of the party may not be favorable
to them
