The DOUGLAS MEETTNG--The meeting held
at Sacramento, Thursday evening, owing to
the extreme GOODNESS of the weather was
changed from the front Of the Orleans to the
Sacramento Theatre The inclemency of the
night and the change of place caused, as was
natural, slim attendance. The speakers
were Gen. Redington, Of Sacramento, Hon.
c. E. De Long, of Yuba, Hon. Humphrey
Griffith, of Yolo, and W II. Weeks and R.
D. Ferguson, of Sacramento One of the res
olations passed was the following
R.solUed, That in the youthful and brave
United States Senator Hon. d. c. Broderick, we
have pride surprising expression. The bold.
fearless champion of nsuItcd truth and outraged
right he has always been found in the front
ranks OF the hottest battle, charging by the side
of Douglas, wherever foes crowded thIckest
blows fell heaviest; and is with him entitled to
an eternal gratitude and an uufaultering support
The meeting had a perfect right to endorse
Mr.. Broderick, ifit liked, but we shall take the
liberty of expressing the opinion that an en-
dorsement of stephen A. Douglas would have
been sufficient As far as we are concerned
and the Douglas men of this county, we do
not look to Mr Broderick as our leader, but
to Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois. lie, and
not.Mr Broderck, is the great embodiment Of
what we consider Democratic principles, and
it is under his banner that we fight As far
as Mr. Broderick may have been right in his
course, heretofore, or may be right, hereafter
it is proper to sustain him, but to commit
the Democratic party of this State to a full
endorsement of him. or Gwin, or Weller, or
any other prominent California politician, we
shall decidedly and emphatcaly object to.
There may be men who admire stephen A
Douglas, who do not admire David c. Brod
erick, bold and fearless as he undoubtedly is
while there may be Others again who admire
both. Every man to his liking, but when
we call meeting to rejoice over the success
of Stephen A. Douglas and to endorse his
course as public man, we humbly opine
that it is not necessary to endorse everybody
else in the country 1t there were perfect
unanimity in regarding Stephen a. Douglas
and Dagid C. Broderick as one, it would be
different; but the special admirers of the lat
ter have no right to force others to include
him in every endorsement that they may
give to the Illinois statesman. Mr.. Gwin and
Mr. Broderick both have their own peculiar
notions, and have both been elected to tn,
United States Senate by the Democratic par
ty. They have each their peculiar friends
and admirers, but the local differences be
tween these two Senators, and the persona
grudges Of their respective friends and ad
mirers toward each other. have nothing to do
with the great question as to whether Ste
phen A. Douglas has been right in his public
course and is entitled to the support of the
Democracy of this State and the Union for
the Presidency of the United States
The annexed resolution by the meeting
win receive the hearty applause of all good
Democrats, whether Broderick men or other.
wise:
ResolUei, That we hail with Joy unutterablC
the return to the United States Senate ofthe Hon
Stephen A. Douglas, not only because it is o
itself a glorious victory but as the precursor o
the still more brilliant triumph which awaits hin
in 1860 when the people he has so faithfully ant
ably served will elevate him TO that most honor
able of all earth's positions-the Presidency o
fhe United States,
