It is also said that some Of the Broderickites
received the proud and worthy ambassador
cOldIy and haughtiIy, and his /" glorious news"
with modification and indignation. They
denied the right Of the leaders Of the party to
transfer them to the Republicans, and gently
limited that they would repudiate all concerned
in the bargain and sale. 1t is further stated
that the leaders are already quarreling about
the spoils-each distrustful Of the other, and
all eager to take an advantage. The elements
Of the new combination are too mixed, aspi-
ring snA corrupt to work in harmony, and the
qaarreI promises to increase in strength and
Bitterness daily, and may, ere the election,
prove fatal to the fuSionists.

one Of MIR. BrOdcrick's great charges against
Senator Gwin, In speech made In the north.

entire disposal Of this patronage for his seat

Il il rumored and the rumor is credited,
now that the marriage ceremony has been
consummatcd between the BrOdcrickites and
Black Republicans, that half Of the candidates
on each ticket are to be sacrificed for the ben
eft Of Broderick and Bakcr--that Messrs.
Shanklin and Patterson, candidates for the
Senate, are to be withdrawn or forced to re-
tire from Tie cOntcst-to secure the election
Of the talented and eloquent Sloss and his

the fusionists carrying the Legislature, Baker
is to be elected to the United States Senate in
the place Of DR.. Gwin. The disgraceful scenes
Of 1854 are TO be re-enactcd, and another Sen.
atorial struggle to come of, in direct opposi-
ton to the wishes of the people, in violation
Of all principles, and contrary to all rule and
precedent This, we are assured by one who
knows, is the programme laid down by the
Black Republicans, accepted by Broderick,
and acted upon by all. Baker is not ambi-
tious to go to Congress; he seeks higher
position, and Broderick has consented to sac
riice his friends to crafty his revenge
Against this vile Coalitions coalition dis
graceful and corrupt-the Democracy are con-
tending, and every man who has the least re-
spest for principle must join the Democratic
ranks.

The Ieeomptontes have placed before the people one
Milton Shakespeare Latham. who probably 10 the most
unmitgated humbug aud Rrrant political chAratan that

Brodcrick has "madc himself the laughing
stock and scorn" Of every respectable man in
California by his maliciouSly false charges
against Latham, buchanan and the Democrat
ic party-by his stupidity and Per6dy. Ev-
cry charge that he has brought against
Latham, without single exception, has been
proven false by hjs own WitmcSstS. The mas
ter having failed to iniurc Latham, the minions
step forth to take the dirty job out Of his
hands, and to complete the work which he 50
vindctivcly begun. 1t is useless. Every
where throughout the State, such confidence
have the masses in I.Atham'S integrity and
purity, that his simple denial Of the charges
manufactured against him would bc taken in
preference 10 the sWorn statements Of his en-
cmics. The man who calls Latham an "un-
