great constitutional party of the
country, the strangers will be in no
haste to again raise the arm of re-
bellion. '33 Secretary! Pah!
No GREATER abuse has been made
of Mr.. Broderick's character than
the damning faint praise offered him
by the Black Republican press. Now
that he is by his election beyond the
reach of their calumnies, those mis-
cradle toadies who strove to elect a
sectional candidate to the Presidency,
presume to infer that because Mr..
Broderick halls from the North, and
has heretofore met with such sire ~
GUS opposition, by the so called chiv-
airy wing of the Democracy, that he
is predisposed in favor of their own
Union-sliding principles but how
emphatically his course in California
gives denial to these vile insinuations.
Mr.. Broderick's unremitting sup
port of Democratic men and meas
ures, and the steady adherence to
him of such men as Tilford, Dosh,
and Gray, all Southern men, are all
the answers We require to the charge
made by these his latter-day friends
and falsifying enemies that he is a
Free Soiler." But the charge is
too fimsey to be of any possible
weight, as a Democratic Legislature
elected in direct opposition to the ef-
forts of Free Soilers, Abolitionists
and Know Nothings, have by their
choice declared.
But our province is rather to re-
ioice over the election of the man of
our choice, than to defend him against
the falsehoods and inuendoes of his
enemies, and we do rejoice. We re-
joice that one Senator has been elect
ed, and we particularly rejoice that
Mr.. Broderick is the fortunate man,
and we confidently entrust the inter
ests Of the State in his hands, as to
one who has the honesty to serve her
to her best advantage, and who is
possessed of the capability and per-
sonal influence to command the re-
spect, attention and cooperation of
those with whom he is to be asso-
ciated.
But we learn by our last adyices
from the Capital, that the whole ques-
tion has not been decided. The
choice of Senator for the short term
has not been effected, and if it is not
already too late, we would again urge
the claims of Mr.. McCorkle on the
Legislature as the man whom the in
terests of the North, and of the
whole State require. Mr.. McCorkle
is unlike certain other candidates, a
bona fde resident of the State, and
all his interests thoroughly identified
with it. His property is here, actually
located and taxed, as the books of the
Assessors of this and Marin counties
will show, and what are the interests
OF the State are as much his, as they
are those of any other individual in
it. Apart from all this, Mr.. Nc
Corkle is a gentleman of undoubted
capability and an unfinching Demo-
crat, and one of whom the State
might feel justly proud as her repre-
sentative in the Senate of the United
States. He, like Mr.. Broderick, has
ever upheld Democratic principles,
and never wavered therefrom, and
when called upon to define his posi-
ton as regarded the Vigilance Com
mlttee question, did so unequivocally,
not finching from what he considered
to be right, and neuer asserting By
has silence, to that or any other at
tempt to overthrow the constitution
and the laws. We speak for the
North when we ask the Legislature
to appoint Mr.. McCorkle to the po-
sition he seeks. "We abide the re-
suit" and be it what it may, we feel
constrained to throw up our hat and
give " three time three" for BRoDER-
ICK, MCCoRKLE AND DEMOCRACY.
The croaklings of the Vigilante
organs about the popularity" of the
proceedings of the mobocracy of San
Francisco, and their approval by the
$ Masses" have, through the repre-
