1t has become part Of the tactics of the renegade
democrats TO accuse the most prominent among the sup
poFters Of the administration OF Dougasis Partially
for Judge Douglas" Sc, &c. Senators Slidell and
Bright have been directly charged with ayowed advoca
cy of Douglas and various well known democratic mem
ber of Congress have been alluded TO having spoken
10 terms Of warm approval Of Judge Douglass
The Philadelphia Press Of Saturday, just the OF the
departure Of the California steamer, contained letter IN
which the same charge Is made against Senator Twin
The honorable senator is described as going about ex
cusng Mr. Douglas, and approving OF his course but
the writer in the Press doubts whether Senator Gwn
fidelity to the administration ought not To Olsen
title him to favor at the hands of the Dougasites The
great Irish agitaor Council is reported TO have said
that lie, until exposed all the purposes Of
truth This must be the morality of the writer in the
Philadelphia Press. He must know, If he knows any
thing, that Senator Gwin Is determined OPP
ponent of the pursued by Senator Douglas
be has been, and is consistent and independent
supporter of Mr. Buohanans administration He must
knoy that the democracy of California have recently en-
phacally endorsed Senator OWNS course IN Congress-
and the policy of Mr. Buchanan government, and as en-
phaclIy repudated Mr. Douglas and his humble coadju
tors McKibbin and Broderick He must know that this
great rally of the democracy Of California is mainly the
work of Senator Gwn, and did he desire design to tell
the TRUTH he would frankly own It, But this would be too
much to expect from renegade democrat. Conscious
of his own uncomfortable outcast position he wishes to
drag every else down to his low level and utterly
INSCRIPTIONS to the he employs, he publishes
positive falsehood with a view to damage Senator
there TO expose the fraud Although there few in
California who would believe the testimony Of writer
in the Press in impeachment of Senator OWNS fidelity to
the democracy, yet even these few viii be spared the
deception intended by the Press, for, by the same
mail that brought the bane, the antidote Is con-
veyed in the shape of whitening exposure OF the
wful and deliberate falsehood l only aliudc to the
subject TO direct public attention to the dscedable
lodges to which the renegade democrats obliged to
resort to sustain their still discredtabe cause.
