SENATORIAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
San Francisco correspondent of the Sacra.
mento Bee, on Senatorial matters says "Den
ver's crowd are coming the brag game.
They say they have twenty five votes for
caucus.
Conness has been amongst us smiling like
one Of Weltys aboriginals. He is forninst
| going into a caucus. He ascrbes one source
of his late success to the attacks Of the
Union, which he displayed in every mining
camp in his county.
McCorkle is lying around on all sides;
his only definite remark is that he prefers
the SO Anti Lecomponton to the recent re-
cruits. This looks against Denver and Nc
Douga, and for Randolph.
TArlcs-Tbe manner in which the Sena.
torial question is to be disposed Of is en-
gaging the earnest attention of candidates
and their friends; and it is now evident the
Dougastes differ much among themselves
as to the mode OF disposing of the subject.
Some want caucus nomination, and others
are opposed The latter among whom are
understood to be the Denver men, expect to
catch Breckenridge votes by bringing the
candidates directly before the Legislature
and let them run scrub race This may
be the salt that will catch the birds, but
Democrats should steer clear of all such
efforts to entrap them. The Douglasites
have not a majority, and if the members of
our party act as they are bound in honor to
do they will not give the least aid or com.
fort to the enemy. No Dougles man can be
acceptable to Democrats for the Senator
ship, and therefore the representatives of our
party have no right to assist such to an
election.
Denver is considered strong candi-
date; but i: would seem that the re-.
iee oiouiu 10 liuo, io'u the pooltloH nc
occupies. Ill considered Douglas the nom
inee according to party usages, yet he did
not indorse the Douglas rincples. This
attitude must make him unpopular with
the old Anti Lecomptoniles, while it has
failed to secure The confidence and approval
of Breckenridge men. And if Legislators
hold consistency of any valne the gallant
General will be nowhere.
Cen McDougai is not withou. expectation
that the office inay overtake him; and, al
though he brings as much talent into the
market as any of his competitors, his pop
ularty does not take wide range. The
mountains do not howl for the General. The
Anti Lecompons of '5S, remember the
infidelity Of the General to them in that
year; and more than that his previous Con
gressional career, does not entitle him to
especial consideration. His management of
the Pacific Railroad Bill was srandaous.
There are other candidates named-Ed.
mund Randol ph, John Currey, Gov Down
ey, John Conness and perhaps more.
Downev is not without hope that the man
tie may fall upon him. He is not clear as
to how it is to be done. But the Gov. may
rest assured that he will never become
Sentaor if Conness can prevent it. John
it not at all partial to his Exceency.
l'recknrdge men should take no part nor
lot in this family difficulty in the house of
Douglas but let them pursue their own ta
tics among therown people. California should
have a Senator that believes the proper.
ty rights of the people of each State and Ter
ritory of the Union is equal under the Const
tu,ion-and unless she can have such repre-
sentative in the present gloomy aspect of ma
tiona affairs, it is of little Importance to elect
a. the present session.
The GoLD ExpoRrs.-The amount Of
treasure shipped from the port of San Fran
disco fer the year 1860, has amounted to
$42 1850 68-a considerable falling off
from previous years. Cafrnians will find
cause for qualification in this, as it shows that
more money is being retained here for in
vestment han formerly.
