denominated. by the Express. as sensible
The sillier they are in the eyes Of all reflect
ing men, the better they are and the more
sensible in the estimation of the Express
For instance, the other day, some foolish per-
son proposed that the monument to be cree
ted to Broderick be black one. Thereupon
the Shasta Courier went off into an extrava-
CANT TRADE against the present movement for
doing honor to Broderiek's memory, as tho
black monument was really in contempla-
ton. If the monument was to be black, the
Shasta Courier did not want anything to do
with it, and, what was more, wouldnt have
anything to do with it. The Express
thought this TRADE of the Courier very fine,
md endorsed it, with much complacency, as
highly sensible.
Again it finds "some sensible remarks in
the Sierra Citizen. We suppose is does not
mean to intimate that it is matter of won
der to find sensible remarks in that paper at
ALL Now, what are those exceedingly sensi-
Lle remarks of the Citizen? The follow

The Marysville DEMooRAr. perhaps, more
especially than some other Opposition papers,
continues to fret and fume for Douglass nom
ination for President. and at the same time it
is constantly malgning the only party that
can in the least render him assistance. Tru-
ly, this is strange consistency Well may
he exclaim, 'Save me from my friends, in
California. If Douglas had many such
throughout the Union as his California friends
he might make the calculation safely that he
need not trouble himself about nomination
for the Presidency, as any effort he might
make, with the Democracy arrayed against
him, would be perfectly useless. That class
of individuals, however, of which we speak,
are not Mr.. Douglass true friends they can
not he, Us they have arrayed themselves in
hostility to the party to which he belongs,
and the principles to which he adheres.
"Maligning the only party that can render
him any assstance!" We consider that it is
the Democratic party which is to nominate
and elect Stephen A. Douglas We mdlign
no party. but we do denounce the Lecomp-
ton faction which, under the wings of the
President, has dared to pervert and misuse
the name of the Democracy. All the assist
anee that Douglas will ever get from this
crowd of Federal sycophants you might put
into flea's eye.
Not Douglass true friends" forsooth
His better friends, perhaps, are those who re
fused to stand by him when the whole power
of the Federal Government was arrayed
against him, for daring to oppose the viola
tion of Democratic faith. usage and princi
pie, on the part of the President! Perhaps
those are his best friends who urged on the
pack of Federal hounds in Illinois to throttle
him. if they could, which, thank God the
NANCY crew could not Perhaps those indi-
viduals are his best friends who, having car
ried the State in the name of "harmony and
organization" are now preparing to send
delegates to the Charleston Convention to
defeat him for the Presidency, under the same
fine name and plea. Beautiful friends of
Douglas are these! Fine fellows to talk
about our being mo true friends of Doug
las" Who were the men that made sacri-
fees for Douglas2 Who were the men that

mental officials left him to his fate, and shout
ed to their hangers on, as they went, to leave
him, if they would bask in the smiles of Ex-
ecutive appreciation Who, by their de-
termined friendship, and free avowal of it
for Douglas, in this State, forced, aye forced,
the Lecompton party to use the potent name
of Douglas and the thunder of the Douglas
party, in order to save themselves before the
people Suppose the Douglas organization
had never arisen in this State-no Douglas
paper issued its voice in his behalf-all coun
seled blind obedience to the dictates of the
President-where would have been the
Douglas strength in this State to. day? The
people would Lave been misinformed wholly
in regard to the issues of the times Mr.. Blu
chanan would have been represented as i'm
maeulate and infallible, and Douglas regard
ed as mere agitator and disturber. In
stead of this, the people have been convinced
by the true friends of Douglas, that he was
right, and afterwards convinced, by the false
friends of Douglas, that, in sustaining the
Administration, they were not putting down
Douglas. What they need to be convinced
of now is, that they must rally to the stand
ard of Douglas and preuent the sending of
delegates hostile to him to the Charleston Con.
rention.
The true friends " of Douglas will urge
this course, but his false friends-those "sen-
sible" fellows endorsed by the Express-will
counsel a total ignoring Of any such issue
and in the meantime take excellent care,
amidst the wonderful "peace and harmony
existing, to send men to the Charleston Con-
vention who hate Douglas as the Devil hates
holy water
Let the people beware of these wolves in
sleeps clothing, these Kissing serpents in the
grass.
