Daily national Democrat., 1858-12-07

az The Express is awfully troubled be-
cause every Douglas man in the State is not
Broderick man also, We suppose on the
the same principle it would have every Ad-
ministration man in the State Gwin man or
n Weller man also. Such stupendous non
sense may 60 down with the readers of the
Express, but, if it does, we shall certainly
have no great admiration for their inteli
gence. The idea that the Democracy of this
State are such sheep as to submit TO any such
classification as the Express would make Of
them, is insulting to the honest hard.work-
ing. thinking and independent masses. The
struggle between Gwin and Broderick is
over They are both elected to the United
States Senate, and that is an end of any di-
vision of the Democracy into either G Gwinites
or Broderickites, inasmuch as it was the con
test between these men for that position
which produced the Classification The next
election for n United States Senator will in
all probability bring about an entirely differ
emily factional division Gwin will probu-
bly, be thrown overheard, and that will be
an end Of the Gwinites. Broderek will
have nothing to ask for. and, thereto. t, there
cannot possibly be any Broderickites Very
likely there will be a lot of Wellerites,
against whose candidate some new man, and
strong one, a genuine Douglas Democrat,
will be produced
Because in a long Senatorial contest, the
Democracy became divided between Mr..
Gwin and Mr.. Broderick it does rot follow,
after Mr. Broderick has achieved success and
obtained the position he desired that the
same old dead issue, ended by the conclusion
of the contest, is to be kept up. 1t is an i'm
possibility. 1t cannot be kept up; because
new issues arise, of national character, upon
which the two men take positions about
which the former friends of each differ 1t
so happens that many Of the supporters of
Mr. Gwin, in his Senatorial contest with Mr.
Broderick do not now approve of many of
the positions which Mr., Gwn has since taken
in the Senate of the United States, while
many of the former friends of Mr. Broderick
do not hesitate to endorse Mr.. Gwin's course.
On the Lecompton issue the former cassif-
cation was entirely broken up. Leading
Broderick men formerly SOY were in the
Lecompton State Convention at Sacramento,
and the strongest kind of anti Broderick men
were in the Douglas State Convention assem-
bled at the same time. 1t is so all over the
State. This Lecompton issue has broken up
all the old lines of demarcation, and the De-
mocracy, not only here but all over the I'm
ion, is divided, in view of the next Presiden-
cy into Douglas and anti Douglas Democrats
We can point to numerous prominent Doug
las Democrats in this county, for instance,
who are not now, and never were, Broderiek
men. The effort, therefore so Systematically
followed up, by the brazen-faced Lecompton
press, to make it appear that every Democrat
who is opposed to them is a Broderickite,
can effect nothing except with the shallowest
of human bipeds that lay claim groundlessly,
10 tne possession OF UfulnS. MT. BrOuerlck
is in the Senate of the United States and able
to take care of himself Those who approve
of his course can do so, and those who do
not can let it alone. But, inasmuch as it is
stephen A. Dorgas who is candidate for
the Presidency of the United States, and not
Mr.. Broderick, it seems to us to be perfectly !
assinine to speak of Douglas men as Brod
ericAites" Still, where it is the only stock
in trade of the Lecompton press, and they
can't argue, it would be too much to expect
them to drop it. There are certain BOBBY
shallow-pates who happen to know how to
read and can be affected 10y such transparent
humbag, and of course. as in the estimation
of peculiar kind of journalists, everything
is fair in politics" the urrant nonsense must
be stuffed downthe But, rs it can only af-
feet very silly persons, the loss to the Douglas
side will not be very material
