Daily national Democrat., 1859-02-15
Donglns and Broderick.

1t appears that the Administration Sena-
tors at Washington, after all the Lecompton
bowling against Douglas, did not dane refuse
him admittance into what was assembled as
Democratic Caucus, to take into considera-
tiOn the Cuban question. The call was for
Democratic Senators, and Douglas went in, as
he had q right to 60 whenever and wherever
q Democratic caucus was called. Had they
have done IS. But no test was made, either
before the assembling Of the caucus or at any
time during its session.
We understand that certain Boilers from the
regular Democracy in this county, arel blat
ant over the fact that Douglas went into a
caucus called as Democratic caucus, and
upon the strength of that claim him as being
with the Administration. True enough, he is
with the Administration on this Cuban ques
ton, but he is not with the Administration
in its opposition to the doctrine of Popular
Sovereignty He stands on that where he
did before, and the Lecompton Senators dare
not refuse him the consideration to which
he is entitled as Democrat, on account Of it.
But, what great comfort it can afford these
Yuba County Boilers of the last Democratic
Convention of this county, to learn that the
immortal Douglas has SO cowed down the
whole Lecompton party at Washington. that
they are afraid to make any tests against
him, we are at loss to see He went into n
regular Democratic caucus But, what did
they these Boilers of all regularity in this
county do? Why, they refused to act Cithin
the regular organization of the party. but
went outside into boiling county conven-
ton, and have remained outside ever since
They talk about regularity Can they send
regular Democratic county delegates to n
regular Democratic State Convention? No,
sir. 1t belongs to the regular Democracy of
Yuba county to do that. Bogus, boiling
county conventions cannot usurp the authori-
ty of conventions called by the regular or
ganizaton of the party. The regular organi-
zation of the Democratic party in this coun.
ty is in the hands of the Douglas Democracy,
and the delegates whom that organization
chooses to send to State Conventions are the
competent, and they only are the competent
delegates to sit in such bodies.
Let the Boilers, therefore, howl on. Their
pretensions are too shallow and transparent
to deceive any man of ordinary intelligence.
We notice that some of these same brazen-
faced Boilers pretend to think that because
Mr.. Broderick was not present at the caucus,
he is to be reckoned on the Republican side
If they will notice the accounts of the caucus
in the Atlantic papers, they will perceive
that it is stated that all Of the Democratic
Senator's were present, except Mr.. Broderick
Very WELL this reckons him among the Dem.
ocratic Senator'S Had he not been so reck-
oned, why say, all were present ercept Mr..
Broderick ? Speaking of this caucus, it
would hardly be said, all the Democratic
Senators were present, except Mr.. Hale or
Mr.. Seward and yet it would be just as
proper as to have said except Mr.. Broderick,
if he had not been considered q Democratic
Senator.
When Mr.. Broderick separates himself
from Mr.. Douglas, he wiH say so. Until then,
the Boilers need not say it for him.
