thus funnily reviews the speech of Senator
Anderson in favor of the Broderick Resolu.
tions:
Mr. Anderson (the Senator from Placer)
then spoke of his early youth. He was affect

folks were born poor and some folks rich
and that because man had silver spoon

ing "clever gentleman" lie repeated that
trite old saw about "honor and shame" and
so on, very effectively. U saw several Sena-

reiterated the unwholesome untruth that
George Wilkes wrote it-said he didn't like
the thonghtessness" of Broderick's and
Grlfhth's remarks; and zoe (you and and
the gate-post) are very sorry about that. Mr.
A. made several very uniustifable attacks
upon l.. Murray the grammarianl which
were not answered The gentleman alluded
to "a water lot bill" which was passed while
Mr.. Broderick was in the Senate of this
State, but he was very careful not to say that
Mr.. Broderick opposed that bill with much
force of reason and argument. Sam Merritt
all the merit that has ever been attached to
Lecomptonism, passed down through the
aisle of the Senate when Anderson made that
last "break," and as he went he winked at
somebody, and had a very funny smirk on
his face. Sam knows what's what-Sure. |

prompted Mr., Wheeler to ask Mr.. Anderson
if John Bigler was not at the present time an
appointee of one James Buchanan This

Mr.. Anderson became very severe upon Mr..
Broderick - waxed wroth-but said NO

Just after this pleasant allusion, Mr.. A. pla-
gairsed from T. Darlington Macaulay, in
strain of great eloquence. Along toward the
close of the gentlemans remarks, he magnan-
imously said-in effect-that the Vigilance
Committee of San Francisco was got up by
