Mountain Democrat., 1857-06-06


We think II is a poor way to advocate the
claims Of any one Democrat BY abusing other
members Of the party.-.SierTa DemOerat.
Who has done soP An arrogant, self
'Ntiilllletd 'Ntillletd, egetistisaL Senator, who obtained
his position by questionable means, with
silly assurance, attempts 10 dictate to and
bully Democratic President. lie is
mildly but firmly Informed that he must
conduct himself properly, # he know how
that his recommendations will DC re-
spcctrulIy considered, his demands treat
cd with Indifference, that the President,
not Mr. Brodcrick, has the power of ma
king appointments. This arouses the
"mcttlc"Of the Senator; he speaks in.
sulting!y Of Mr.. Buchanan and the Cabi.
net, Swcars vengeance, and avows his de-
termination to return OH the first steamer
to California, pack the State Convention
with his followers, and pass a resolution
ccnsuring the President. Because VIC
arc not willing to join him in his crusade
against Mr.. Buchanan, we are told by his
miniOns that we arc traitor to the Dem
Ocratic party. We have not abused "thC
members Of the party" VIC have simply
exposed the schemes and ccnsurcd tho
conduct of Mr.. B-Odcrick, who has open
" declared his hostility to Mr. Buchanan,
and his determination to have the De-
mocracy of California endorse his course
and rcbukc that of the President. When
he denounced the President and Cabinet
and announced his intention to carry
California against the Administration, he
forfeited the respect and confidence Of
the Democracy. We prefer, the Dcmoc-
racy Of the State prefer Mr. Buchanan to
Mr.. Brodcrick. The President has done
nothing that the masses Of California do
not approvc-nothing that Democrat
can take exceptions to-; and they care
very little whether Mr.. Brodcrlck ever
again crosses the ''ttrcshold of the White
House" They certainly do not desire
him to cross it "only to carry Mr.. Buchan-
an to his grave" the Uhly induccment for
him TO cross it again, as he, with that
dclicacy of feeling and energy Of express
ion which is so Distinguishing a mark Of
his character, expressed it. They would
be pleased to dispense with the services
of Mr.. Broderick, not Mr.. Buchanan
Ono would be n benefit the other ca
lamity. In defending the Administra-
ton from the assaults of its enemies, rs-
pccially when they profess to be its
friends, VIC arc doing nothing but our du.

in Legislative body is one thing, in a
State convention another and far different.
Members of the Legislature sometimes
find it prudent not to return 10 their con-

For JOHN B. WELLER.-During the past

from different parts Of our county, at

They all assured us that the greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed everywhere for Col.
Weller. The Democracy are aroused, ac-

honesty and ability are well known .and
appreciated, and tho Democracy have de-
