ASSERTION AND PROoF.-IBroderick' organ
the San Francisco Ne~S, of Tuesday, has tn
following:
Gen. McDOugall informed friend yesterday that la
than did approve FergusonS nOninterNe ntiOn FeSOu
tiOns.
In the afternoon Of the same day the fol
lowing appeared in the Bulletin:
We are requested by Gen. J. A. McDouRall to stat
that he was present, with other gentlemen, in =
with the late W. l. Ferguson at Sacramento and advise
with him and them ia drawing up the anti-LecOmptO
resolution, Afterwards introduced into the State senat
by Ferguson that MIR. Latham not present, and
never heard that he tLatham) was consulted on tn
subject.
Notwithstanding this positive contradiction
the Brodcrick organs repeat the falsehOod, 81
reckless and mendaciOus arc they. Broderick
thoroughly understands the nature Of thu
tools he employs lie is safe in making any
assertion, however grOundleSs or infamous
well knowing that he can make his acc0mmO
dating followers sEeGr tO its truth.
