lently assailed as at the present time.
The enemies Of popular sovereignty ap-
pear to have grown grey in acquiescing
in Democratic principles until the gov
ernment has passed into their hands,
and now make use Of power thus OBJ
tanned, to destroy the principles which
called them into public existence, and [
to render The American government
republican only in name. The power
iul combination which was TO overthrow |
Democratic principles, and reconstruct
the party upon the old Federal plan of
a consolidated government, received n
check in the popular branch of Con-
gress that sent the Lecomptonites
bowling to their kennels. With un-
mitigated treachery and falsehood, they
we're prating Of their devotion to pop
ular sovereignty while refusing to apply
the principle as recognized and required
by the Kansas Nebraska law. A little
experience taught these corrupt Le-
compton swindlers aud ballot box stuff
fng scoundrcls that, the people knew
, their rights and knowing "darc main
tain them too.
A change in their treacherous pro-
gramme became necessary. Here in
: California, the mendacious and con-
: temptlblc crew of chivalric tfickstcrs
nave concluded that Lecompton straight
cannot win, aud have suddenly deter
mined to ignore all differences of opn-
ion between Douglas and the admins =
o tration, and turn their lying batteries
i against Messrs Broderick and McKib-
= ben, men who have had the frmncss
and honesty to adhere to the doctrine
Unpopular sovereignty The repudia-
Q ton of these truly democratic cham
d pions, is the endorsement Of the Lc-
= compton swindle- the endorsement OF
Gwin with his fatal and disgusting
: trcachcry on the Pacific railroad ques-
Z ton, and of his efforts to fasten the
=, steamship monopoly upon California
a for another term of years. 10 this
d end, the false and degenerate chivalry
r press are assailing Mr. Broderick with
r a vindictve misrepresentation unpara'
u leled in political history They Law,
= suddenly asceriaincd that the differ
O. ence between Senator Douglas and the
a Lcconptonitcs can be healed over, anc
IS falsely proclaim that Broderck is op'
~ posed to Douglas, aud has gone over to
d the Black Republicans. 4 more gross
9 and unqualified ialschood never emana
10 ted from the corrupt hearts aud blis
'c tered throats of the mendacious crew OF
IS chivalrc political bummers who hav,
:. fastened themselves upon our people
and seek to control the affairs Of th,
State.
IL Prominent, If not quite foremost il
III promulgating these wlltul and malicious
IN lies concerning Senator Broderick, il
Vi the "Daily California Statesman" o
>" Saturday last. There are men con
~ neeted with that infamously false ant
rc corrupt sheet, for whom We have en-
10 tertained the utmost respect and es
+" teem, aud it is with deep regret that W.
" see them descend to the degenerate po
sition of scrvilc defamers. IL is will
to regret that, as a Democratic journal oul
s. duty to the party andsn eternal anC
immutable principles of right, compc
.. us to iasten this brand upon the con
70 ductors of that sheet, and cause then
to stand forth convicted recrcants &c
ig principle, and degraded and contempt-
" iblc specimens of chivalry falsiiers.
Their article in Saturdays issue, un,
der the head --"The position of par
- ties--tho lines drawu"--is the greatest
tissue of misrepresentation aud false
a hoods that ever emanated from a source
r. claiming respectability. The assertion
'' is false that the Broderick portion
Of tho INSTRUMENTATION Democrats
. have formed an alliance with the Black
Republicans. The assertion is false
