The AgitatOrs,

Chocta puOttCuU, VI u ldNc uutC,
contained an announcement on the authority
of private advices, that the Hon. ID c. Brod-
erick would soon visit Shasta and other
places in the northern portion of the State.
This simple announcement was copied into
the San Francisco Globe, and made the text
for throwing the following frebrand into
the Democratic party:
The why and wherefore of this tour need
no explanation from us. The peculiar mode
Of arranging primary meetings, selecting
delegates and attending to the interests of
one certain individual, have made the re-
turned Senator most conspicuous for year.

North brook this inference with their own
legitimate business Will they submit TO
this overseeing of their political affairs !?

vigilante sheet would have it understood are
now arrayed against Mr.. Buchanan's ad-
ministration, were, and are yet, the firm
and unwavering supporters of Mr.. Buchan-

But now, Mr. Buchanan having appointed a
friend to the GiObe, and report has it a part

Federal office, everybody who does not cry
"Amen-so mote it be"-is opposed to the
administration of MIR. Buchanan. The as.

Of the Democracy of California.
The papers raising this cry have ever
pursued Mr.. Broderick with n fendish ma

Senator, notwithstanding their opposition,
take this method to repudiate him and to
destroy his influence. In doing this, they
fancy they secure tire position of their

The principles of the Democratic party
should induce its members to be the very soul

with spirit of charity boundless and pure.
