attempted that Mr.. Douglas is great de.
mocratic leader, bnttling the political antago.
nism of the Illinois Republican party, and the
personal animosity Of the Chief Magistrate of
the nation-that the democracy are not with
the President in his desire for Lincoln's elec
tion, and Douglas defeat that the last State
election result in California is no index of the
popular feeling,-that the organs of each par.

ing their endorsement ofStephen A. Douglas
construction of the Nebraska BILL and that
the false issue of Broderck and anti Broder
lex had no legitimate connection with the
contest
Mr. Broderick makes no claims to the lead
ership of the opposition to the administration,
and could not sustain it if he did The "hue
and cry" of Broderick is becoming stale
The California Democracy have passed no
opinion upon him, or his acts. The Admins.
tration State Convention lacked the back bore
to denounce him, as was threatened should be
done, and the Democratic State Convention
made no mention of his name His friends
in the latter body demanded no resolution of
endorsement for him, and if they had, it
would have been vehemently opposed, and as
believe, defeated AS the matter stands
then, Mr., Broderick has been treated precise
ly alike by both sides of the house. His
name can hereafter have neither charms nor
terrors by virtue of any proceeding of any
party in the State. The support of democrat
tie principles and men is what constitutes a
democrat 1t is time to stop shouting Brod
erick, or Gwin, or Weller, or anybody else at
every election by the People If Mr. Broder
lex votes for Pacific Railroad, must the
California democrats who dislike him, cry
down with it? If Mr. Broderck did oppose
the Lecompton Constitution last winter,
should the voters Of California who are oppo.
sed to him. rally in support of that wretched
thing, forever hereafter under the banner
cry of anti-Broderick
The democf attic masses are desirous ofpeace
in party councils. The politicians have had
their say, and made good their claims to place
and pay, upon Mr.. Buchanan. Let Mr.. Bu-
chanan reward them. The people should
now talk calm reason. The two wings of the
party have each State Central Committee.
Each claims TO represent the regular democ-
racy. Those committees should be urged, bv
the conservative press, to compare notes, and
see how wide gulf now remains between
them If a bridge can be constructed, of mo-
deration, reason and good will, let ii be done.
Let those who have done wrong nobly ac-
knowledge the error, and let the rest make
no comments. When the news Of Mr.. Doug
las election to the u. S. Senate arrives here.
let there be no unseemly exultation by his
particular friends, but let the whole national
democracy rejoice.
Both wings of the party, Qeaving out the
fire eaters. and all other tshy democrats) can
now agree upon something near the following
propositions:
1st Like or dislike of any man is no test Of
democracy.
2nd. The Lecompton Constitution is a dead
cock 10 the pit.
3rd. The next Congress will be no more
bound to adhere to the English bill passed by
the last Congress, than the Congress of 1854
was bound to adhere to the Missouri Compro-
mise Act passed by previous Congress.
4th. A democratic President has no right
to prefer the election of Abram Lincoln to
the u S. Senate, from Illinois, over Stephen
A Douglas
5th- Mr. Buchanan and Mr.. Douglas are
right in their pledges to hereafter insist upon
the Submission to tie people of the Constitu-
tions under which new States are to be ad-
mtted into the Union
9th Wm- H Seward is not the most suita-
BILE man for our next President
Something like the above would be endorsed
by every conservative democrat in the State
and Kansas would no longer be hobby for
designing politicians
The whole of the present difficulties arose
out of a deliberate and studied plan. on the
part Of certain demagogues, to get STEPHEN
ALDouGLAs out Of the Way, by forcing him to
occupy position hostile to the administra-
ton. The President knowing that Douglas
would sustain him unless he did wrong, was
foolish enough to do wrong simply to secure
Mr.. Douglas opposition, and then cried out
through his ill-begotten press, Douglas is a
traitor to the party" Mr. Buchanan went to
work the wrong way to prove bis own demo
eraey, when he stopped to temporize with the
Black Republicans of Illinois, and to assist
them to defeat Stephen A. Douglas The
