The Placer herald., 1859-07-02
Senator Frederick and the Canvass.


"We learn that dusng the present can
vass, theH on. David c. Broderick will ad.
dress the people in nearly every county in
the State, on the subject of national and
State politics. On or about the 10th Of
July, he will addresstbe people Of El Dorado
county at Placerville. His other appoint
ments will be announced in due time.
"We do not know what Mr.. Broderick's
views and intentions are in relation to this
matter; but we entertain no doubt that he
will be glad to meet any responsible man
during the canvass, and to answer any ques-
ton in regard TO himself or his cause which
may be respectfully put by any of his au-
dence." S. f. Nes0s.
The foregoing is from the official organ
of Mr.. Broderick, and is therefore entitled
to more than mere rumor. For one we are
glad to find that he is about to take the
field. lie has been represented time and
again by his friends as very talented man
statesman of enlarged views, bold designs,
indefatigable industry, and great moral cour-
age. His course in the United States Senate
has not come up to this standard Of charac-
ter. His published remarks upon that floor,
exhibit mingled chagrin, vindctive meanness
and the most inexcusable ignorance. His
assertions have almost invariably been in
violation Of truth, land his deductions con-
tradicted by the records. He has had talent
ed crafty men as his friends in California
some Of them eloquent speakers, yet on all
occasions, when they have come before the
people, they have failed to convince; either
the facts were against them or they did not
receive credit for truth. We are now about
to have the "King" himself before us; and
we shall see if he succeeds better than his
ministers have heretofore.
The cunning spider that heretofore has
been satisfied by ensnarng his game in the
web so secretly woven, is about to rush out,
and upon the forum, before the world, de-
fend the tricks of his nature. We shall now
have an opportunity of witnessing speci-
mems of that Wanted genius, those far-reach-
ing ideas of national policy-we shall see
that master hand WELD sway as with
magicans power the souls of men. He will
reveal the volumes of learning, so carefully
for years past culled from the lbrary-the
fountains of thought, will overflow with the
bright and pure waters of wisdom. This is
what the people desire to see-they have
ong desired to have this mans learning, in
ellecual and moral worth, made manifest.
A gain and again they have asked why he
lid not appear before them, that they might
ook upon the giant, and, if his friends were
found to have represented him truly, that
they might fall down and worship at his feet.
Perhaps all persons may not agree with his
statements, arguments and conclusions even
when he does appear For such an emer-
gency the News graciously hints that a
respectable person might be permitted to
contest with him-even the people are to
have their enquiries answered-if the ques
lions are respectfully put Mark that, ye
commons and small fry, everything must
be respectfully DONE The great shoulder
hitter has turned new leaf in manners.
You are to approach him after the style of
bearing in your hand we'll au-
thenticated certificate Of good moral charac
ter, and as Billy Mulligan is absent, and
Yankee Sullivan dead, it will be difficult to
find accredited hackers. Should you ap
proach too near the royal person before he
is satisfied with your standing in society
look out for your ears, or sound flogging,
for we do not find that the Ne,cs bars that
practice, and it may be he carries the same
Jack knife and raw-hide, that he had for the
Kansas people. Stand from under every
body, and give him fair show.
