more different styles Of business signs than,
perhaps, any other State in the Union. In

painters racked their brains for novel and
unique fancics with which to adorn the fronts
Of stores, saloons, &C., and many superior
specimens Of workmanship in this line were
produced. We do not remember to have

Mr.. Broderick is either an unfortunate blum
derer or deliberate falsiRer. Every time he
speaks he isnOrantly or designedly makes false
statements, which are at once detected and
exposed. His treacherouS memory and loose
tongue have placed him in an embarrassing
attitude repeatedly. lie must refresh the one
and restrain the other, or he will convince the
public, before the canvass ends, that he has
no respect for veracity. a man who habitu-
ally miSreprescnts the conduct Of others and
attributes to his opponents the worst Of mo-
tives, is unworthy of confidence, and exhibits
a rccklcssncss Of purpose highly reprchcnsi
bic. That Mr.. Brodcrick has done SO we have
abundant proof The Sacramento StandHrd,
Of Tuesday, thus pointedly corrects one of the
many misstatements he has given utterancc to:
ERROR CoRRKcTED.-Mr. Frederick stated that the
he felt bathing and contempt for the Leg
Slature that instructed him, that him
to vote for the admission Of Kansas without having
the LecOmpton Constitution. Now, We atthOr
iIed by Mr. Humphrey Grith to say that there at
least copy and he thinks two before the LegSla
ture that he himself II frrQuentl! but that
without copy of the Constitution, the debatabe qucs
ton growing out Of il was fully understood long before.
Vow that every cause for "Oathing and contempt Is
removed, will not MIR. DrodcrickS general regard for
the doctrine Of obedience resignation mP him to the
latter!
Mr.. Griffith was q member Of the Senate at
the time, participated in the debate, voted
against the instructions, and speaks from per
sOnal knowledge Of the fact. His testimony
even Mr.. Broderick's friends will not attempt
to impeach, becaus. he was Mr.. BIS cham.

The San Francisco Morning Call, a neutral
paper, but favorable to Mr.. BrOderlck, in dis
Cussing Senatorial matters, says:

atOrial election Of 1851 unblushngly that he had

The question is, who got the $275, 900 he
spent to be made Senator! Jimmy O'Ncil
says he got nary red others may say the
same thing and Nth equal truth. Fisk and
Livermorc might make like disclaimer, ana
with equal truth. Some body got it, SO Mr.
BrOderick says, and we don't like to question
his veracity. The lucky rascals made big
haul, and are fortunate in not being exposed

STRANGE CoMPASY.-Wo see by the San
Francisco News that Mr.. Henry b. Truett has
Soea asniAatcd for the Senate, and that mis-
name heads the ticket in the Broderick organ.
What does il meanf Surely Mr.. Truett can
not be Broderickite. He has too frequently
and publicly expressed his "lOathing and con-
. tempt" for BrOderick, to be one Of his follow
ere at this late day. Strange company for Mr..
Truett to be caught in. and he will live to re-
greet that he allowed himsclftO be seduccd into
the leadership Of ell that is cxecrable in pol
ttics, and into an association with all that is
&etestable in morals" We believe he is inno-
cent but ignorant Notwithstanding he affil-
iates and fAternizes with the vilest and most
fDaticAl enemies Of the party be processes to
belong to, let US cover the enOrmity Of his con-
duct with the mantle Of comprehensive chart

RErrmIcAN PROscRIPTIoN.-The Repub!i.
cans in the Northern States arc discussing the
propriety Of making the Massachusetts, amend.
mcnt, whereby naturalized citizens are dc.
privcd the right Of votning till two years after
naturalization, general throughout the Union.
The New York Commercial AdUertiser, an able
organ Of the party in the Empire State, and
which expresses the views Of the least fanat
ical and moro intelligent portion Of the Re
publicans, says:
"The restrictions would, no Doubt, be wise and
full, AND OUGHT To BE GENERALLY ADOPTED
A UNIFORM LAW this subject, IN ALL THE
STATES, would be useful"
The Democratic party is now and has al
ways been opposed to any alteration in tho
naturalization laws. 1t has always stood ~
in defence Of the rights of adopted citizens
and it will not abandon its old ground. IL
Massachusetts the Democrats to man voted
against the od;ous amendment, and so long at
they have the majority it will not be "gencr
ally adopted" Place the Republicans il
power in California and they would follow the
example Of their Massachusetts friends.

HENRY CLAY ON "POPrLAR SOVEREIGNTY"
in 1887 Henry Clay introduced into the
United States Senate the following resolution,
which was warmly supported by Benton, Cal
houn and Sllas Wright 1t is the same POpu.
lar Sovereignty that the Democratic party ad-
vocatcs now--thc same that demagogues OPP
pose. But BrOderick, in the eyes Of his fol-
lowers, is : greater statesman, purer patriot
than any Of Inc distinguished men who once
occupied scat on the floor Of the United
States Senate, and they implicitly believe and
adopt any nonsense he may utter. lie says he
is in favor of Popular Sovereignty, but not
tho Popular Sovereignty Of the Democratic
party, Of Benton, Calhoun, Wright and Clay,
but of David c. Broderick. What that is he
has not informed the public. nor dove believe
he has the ability to explain his meaning
His platform consists Of but one plank, and
that is opposition to the Democratic party
But TO the resolution
slavery in Territory Of the United states in which II
exists would create serious alarm and just appTrheu-
sion in the States sustaining that domestic institution
would be violation Of good faith towards the inhabi
ants Of any such Territory Who have been permitted to
enter with and hold slaves therein and becauae when
any such Territory shall b. admitted into the Union
state, the people thereof shall be entitled to decide
that question exclusively for themselves.

lovers in this incestuous courtshir, indignant
ly. disdainfully d.nicd having the slightest
affinity with or respect for the Republican
party, and sneeringly alluded to its Organiza-
ton and platform. True. at that time he was
seeking a nomination for a lucrative Office
from convention Of another party, and may
have deemed it prudent to conceal and openly
dis,vow his real sentiments 1t is more than
probable il that party were still in existence,
with fair prospect Of success, he would be
one Of its MEMBERSHIP as ready and eager to
dcnounce Rcpub'icansm now as he was then.
The Republicans occupy the same ground
now they did then, and he was insinccrc then
or he is now. lie cares nothing for principle,
Office is his object; this the Republicans
know. They are willing that he shall join
the Brodcrick faction, become one Of its lea
ders, but they protest against an amalgama-
ton. They respect their party, are devoted
to its principles, and will stand BY and main
tain both at all hazards.

addressed the PeOple.-Ddrid C. BrOdsrick.
Untrue, and Mr.. BrOdcrick knew it when
he made the boastful statement. When he
made his opening speech in this place, several
Democrats courteOusly requested permission
to reply, which permission was peremptOrily
refused by his friends. They stated that il
was his meeting, called exclusively for his
benefit, and that his friends would properly
resent any interference. Instead of "court-
ing discussion" he feared it, Stunned it. gave
strict orders to his menials to prevent it. AT
Downicville, becoming little holder and an
ticipating an easy victory or q refusal, he had
the temerity to challenge Mr.. kirkpatrick to
discussion, and when that gentleman com.
pletely demolished him, he jumped upon the
stand, invoked the synpathies IF those pres
ent for stranger, whined like whipped cur
and hastily retired TO bis bed,

We give Mr.. Jas. O'Ncill THO benefit of hi.
disclaimer, but must be permitted to say that
We were not quite verdAnt enough to ask him
such q useless question, "whethcr the vote he
cast for Mr.. Broderick was purchased or not.
Docs any sane man believe he would will
ngly "confess tho soft impcachment:"-
Men who sell their votes are not apt to admit
the fact. We state this, that the convention
that nominated him distruStcd him, and ex
acted pledge from him, before they gave hiH
the nomination, which pledge he solemnly
gave, that under no consideration whatever
would he vote for Mr.. Broderick. lie knew
Mr.. BrOdcrick, he knew his constituents were
opposed to him, and he knew further that un
less he gave such a pledge he would be indig
nanty repudiated by that convention. THAI
pledge he shamelesSly violated after the cleo
ton. What reliance can be placed in the
word Of man who violated solemn promise
we leave the public to judge. Immediately
after the adjournment of the Legislature Mr.
O'Niell accepted lucrative appointment un
der Federal officer, whom Mr.. BrOderick hat
assisted and who was attached to Mr.. Is. but
