Wrong.

1t is rarely that the enemies of Mr.. Brod
erlck will do him the justice to approve any,
thing that he does. 1t is equally difficult for
the enemies of DR.. Gwin to render unto him
praise when due. 1t appears that the particu-
lar adherents of these two leaders of the Dem
ocracy are blind to all that is commendable in
the acts of the particular chief to which they are
not eensurcahle. As a consequence, all Of tiieir
efforts are directed with an intent to "crush"
him, with view to lessen his influence before
the people and at Washington.
This is all wrong-unpatriotic 1t is the duty
of the citizens of California, of every political
complexion, to uphold the arms of our repre-
sentatives, to strengthen their hands, so that
they may the more effectually work for those
great measures which we all think so indispen-
sable for the future prosperity of our young
State. The San Francisco Globeof the 18th has
remark touching this point which we quote
with approval. Speaking of the efforts of GER
tain parties to disparage DR.. Gwin, and create a
doubt as to the honesty of his friendship for the
State which he IN part represents, the editor
says:
ave submit to every candid man, that it
would be far wiser to encourage our Senator
and strengthen his hands in such efforts as these
than to pursue him with relentless malice and
persistent Misrepresentation course tending
to belitte his influence at Washington, and so
lessen his power to serve the State effectually."
We also respectfully submit that it would be
wise on the part of the Globe to pursue course
towards " our Senator" Mr.. Broderick, not cal
culated " to belitte his influence at Washington,
and so lessen his power to serve the State eff
fectually." 1t is not whit less censureable for
the Globe to "belittle" Mr.. Broderick, and so
"lessen his power to serve the State effectually'
than it is for the enemies of Dr. Gwin to pursue
a similar course towards him.

Gov. DENVER AND KANsAs.-The Washington

Gov. DENVER AND KANsAs.-The Washington
correspondent of Forney's Press says:
"Governor Denver although he has grown
exceedingly cautious since his arrival in Wash
ington, confirms the rumor that the vote again t
Lecompton, as it is presented in the English
Bill, will be enormous on the first Monday in
August. The President is much harrassed at
the prospect. 1 Iknow that he talks of little else
than Kansas; and also that the Presidential as
pirants, in the Cabinet and out of it, who in
duced him to change his position, and to desert
Gov. Walker and Judge Douglas, have fallen
greatly in his esteem. 1t is no less clear that
Governor Denver has always quietly doubted
the entire Kansas policy of the Administration,
even while obeying the orders of his superiors.
What complicates this affair, at present, is the
fact that the Washington Union some weeks
ago arrogantly announced that, if the English
proposition were voted down. Lecompton would
still be alive, etc. The rebuke which the popu-
lar denunciation of the bill will convey to all
who have had any hand in the desertion of
principle cannot fail to be productive of healthy
consequences throughout the country"

NJ. HsArH, In the House of Delegates, has brought
this subject up by resolution. He inquiries into
the expediency of providing that the title of the
owner shall not be affected by the sale OF his land.
unless he shall be duty informed of its liability to
sell for non payment of taxes. Would 1t not be as
well to make all land delinquent for term OF
years the property of ths statea SO that instead
of hoissing 1t up without description and sacrf-
cling 1t to some person who may alone know some
thing about IT, that 1t shall be fully described and
sold, not ostensbly for the payment of taxes, but
- the bona nde property Of the State, who will
give q clear tito to the purchaser. But there is
one way Of avoiding difficulty and confusion that
seems to be easy. and that Is to require every tax
bill presented by the sheriff to enamerate all the
taxes due on land. Let the arrears of tax on land
be transferred along with the land to all new
owners. The owners then could never be ignorant
of dslinquencies of their land, and the sale or
