Black Republican organ of California, init
mates that the late Senator Broderick ex
pressed an opinion of Senator Douglas adverse
to that exhibited by his public course, and
threatens to give publicity to it, backed by
plenty OF coTroborative testimony. The
testimony would, of course, be of the same
political kidney as the Times, and entitled to
about the same credit. The result of the
recent election, we think, demonstrates the
fact that some ten or fifteen thousand Repub

several elections previous they have had some
twenty thousand votes At the last election
they polled only some seven or eight thou
sand votes Some of their leaders and cham
pions were open and bitter in their denun-

say, however, that there were some Repub-
llcans who were sincere in their professions
OF support to Mr. Broderick. but the Times
was not among them. That paper would
have sacrificed the Savior of mankind to its
