" "There can be no
greater criminals than those three traitors
VIM. NJ. Gwin. David G. Broderick, and
Milton S. Latham"
The language above quoted is from the
lips of one of the Republican leaders of Cal
fornia. 1t is but small portion of the
abuse which one month ago to-day the Repub-
lcans of San Francisco listened to with de-
monstrations of admiration Did the San
Francisco Times, the Republican organ OF
the State, ever administer any rcbuke to Mr..
Pixley? On the contrary, the Times, in
nearly every issue, labored zealously to pull
down Mr.. Broderick, and the party of which
he was prominent leader. If | had a file
of that paper for the past two months, it
could be shown that the Republicans of this
State were continually exhorted by the Times
not to be led away from their party by men
of Mr.. Brodeuicks school. Mr.. Tracy, in
his Marysville speech of Aug. Is, 1859, mot

Mr.. Broderck was not sustained in his
Senatorial cereer by the Republican party.
Its organ and leaders rallied against him, and
the party to which he belonged. In the face
of these incontrovertible facts the friends Of
Mr.. Broderick are now compelled to see that
great mans death sought to be made a STEP
ping stone to prominence by Republicans
who were his bitter enemies. was a per-
sonal and political friend to David C. Brod-
erick, and for one, protest against such dis
graceful conduct. If the s. f. Times and
the leaders of the Republican party will
push themselves into the foremost mourners'
seats for effect, and elbow true friends of the
deceased aside, that should content them,
without boldly betraying their motives, by
commencing the Presidential campaign Of
1860 over the very corpse of the departed
Senator Their manner and language seem
to me to betoken more exultation over politi
cal capital made, than grief for him who has
been SO unhappily slain. X.
