II is perfectly plain TO our minds that the
San Francisco editors do not think highly
either Of the party opposed TO them, or Of each
other. Indeed, II IN evident that they are de.
sirous to convince the world Of that particu-
lar fact. One of them the OF the Tsmes,) calls
all Democrats who opposed the late Senator
BRopERrcx "false hounds, carrying the hod
for Southern taskniasters.s In the same elo.
quent strain, the journalist In question pro-
ceeds to denounce this section of his party as
contemplate dongh-faces from the North
ashamed to own their birih-places;" "spew-
ings Of the States which nurture freemen y
"white-livered, thin .blooded, Bringing wretch
q !" ''cowardly, mean, and NANCY Yankee
ours, - and "sweet- scented Mandingo admirers;
first families of Virginia, whose Bible is a
niger bill Of sale, and whose New Testament
is the slave code" 1t charges conspiracy to
Kill Senator BRopxRIcK, and says 1t was un-
derstood among the consprators that the Gov
ernor would appoint the man who should kill
him In his place. "Ali the leading chivalry
In the State" says the editor, 'had counselIed
and caucussed with TERRY before the chal-
lenge was sent" He throws the opponents Of
BRopERIcK into pile, and designates theih
in the gross as "a crowd of the most desper-
RE, bloody minded men in California, who
were ready to take his (BRoDEKrcK's,) life on
the slightest pretext." One of the editors OF the
National, it will be recollected, killed Senator
FERGUSON in a duel about this time last year
This man, the Times describes as mere
"mouth- piece and serving man Of Senator
GwIN," and says that, since the duel in ques-
ton, "he has spent his miserable existence In
giving utterance to the most rihaid false
| hoods" and that he has been ''put forward as
the iackal to find prey he could not himself
| encounter, The editor of another paper, the
| Bulletin, he denounces as perpetually engaged
| in dancing attendance upon Senator GwIS,
| and holding his handkerchief when he blows
his nose" He speaks of statement in the Bud
| gstin as e'miserable, tricky, Simontonlan
| faTsehood-the name of the editor of the Bull
| setin is SIMoNToN-and calls the editor " the
miserable thing that is attempting to conduct
it," (the Bultstin.)
The other editors do not esteem the Times
man more highly than he esteems them. In
deed, we are doubtful whether the National
| man does not think even worse of him. AT
| any rate he tries TO make the public believe he
| does. He calls him of the Times "a malignant
wilful, and deliberate liar, vile creature law
| ishing his stores of filth on pure characters"
"a low born miscreant, who cannot insult
| gentleman" a moral felon, belching bile and
billingsgate from his editorial tripod "a beast
| of which it would be difficult 10 tell whether
pole-cat or puppy predominates in its compo-
sition ~ "a cowardly ealumniator, whose das-
| tardly soul sinks down into his ungainly
| boots at the thought of danger to his hang-dog
face and ugly CARCASS
| These compliments are delicious. They de-
scend upon the favored land OF California, like
dew from river whose stream is nothing but
ottar Of roses They perfume the whole
country, and are srnelt rs far out rs the Sand
| witch Island. The mariner encounters them
leagues at sea, and dreams that he is entering
Il bower of houris. But they indicate some
thing more than taste and refinement. When
a celebrated Irish barrister, in the heat OF a
furious TRADE against the defendant i'll GER
tain action, exclaimed: "when every other
device had failed, the old Crocodile ran his
hand into his breeches pocket he was inter
rupted by roar of laughter. From thIs we
infer that in Ireland, either crocodiles do not
wear breeches or that their breeches have no
pockets, or that if they do wear breeches, and
they do have pockets in them, it is not usual
for them to run their hands into them if hands
they have, which may De doubted But when
a California editor tells The good people of his
district that certain men ''are false hounds
carrying hods for certain taskmasters," all
California preserves its gravity; whence, we
infer that it is quite common thing in that
country, where labor is scarce and wages high,
for hounds TO carry hods. Moreover, We con-
clude, from the statement made with an en-
phasis which puts all dispute out of the ques-
ton, that the soul of certain editor OCCASION
ally sinks down into his boots, that portions
of the California population have couple OF
souls apiece, viz: one for each boot.
