perusal Of your truly democratic and spright-

the expression that ait is the best and most
untrammeled Democratic paper iu CaIifor-

true as gospel. and of frequent use among
the Democracy here-I say, your PATRONS
here, thus deprived Of the advantages Of their
otcn property, thought myself of q plan
to avoid such results, in future, and which
have put into practical operation as follows {:
On Friday last, one Of our prominent Dem

was already loaned and for the fourth time
that day. and that had not had the oppor-

so, if he knew how to order il. This put the
idea into my head Of taking the liberty

drew up subscription paper for your tri-
weekly issue, and in the course of two hours
obtained eight yearly subscribers for il -
Accompanying this letter send you their

they are Douglas Democrats in contra-dis

San Francisco refusing to recognize the
Globe as a Democratic paper, while they do

Nugent was followed upon the same day, by
tho Evening Setcer, called the BuHefin.--
Now. Mr.. Nugent has never demeaned him :

such corrupt and mercenary papers as the
Globe and the Bulletin, and never will SO
far forget himself as to be even disturbed by
those senseless and hirelng attacks upon

master Of the San Francisco Custom House

State Journal came out furiously on the
Bulletin for its attack upon Mr.. Nugent,
