4,reacherr and DuplIcl,Y.-Gwln's Letter.


The next day after his (Broderick's) cleo
ton, the disappointed rivals filled the public
ear Of Sacramento with curses of his duplici-
tv and treachery. But as he had address
enough TO bring on his own election first
notes were not compared until after the re.
suit was unavoidable.-S. f. National
We were "on the ground" at the time. The
only curses 1--WE heard uttered were at
Gwin's expense, and they were loud and
deep. Even his letter to the people of Cali
fornia, so humble and full of promises, was
not believed.
If we mistake not, Gwins friends voted to
bring on Mr. Broderick's election first, and at
that trying time they were loud and earnest
in Mr.. Broderick's praise. lie was then "a
manly. straight forward, and able political
leader; and in order to show what Gwin
himself, in the hour Of his extremity, thought
of him. we republish his letter to the people
of California

arduous struggle.

Sacramento, Jan. Is, 1857.
The history of DIR. Gwin's affiliation with
n corrupt National Administration is familiar
to our readers. He has stocked the public
offices with his adherents. He recommended
the passage of the Lime Point speeulating
measure He repudiated the noninterven
tion Interpretation of the Kansas Nebraska
act along with jeff Davis, Brown, Green
etc, and he now expects, with James Buchan-
an, to be indorsed by the people of Califor-

Where is the "duplicity and treachery"
howP Was there ever treachery so ungra-
clous and black or duplicity unmeasured,
as in the case of VIM. NJ Gwin.-S. r. NeWs.

Bishop d Co. have struck dirt in their
