\ 1.-THE Of the claims on his faction that
his unfaltcring devotion to BrOdcrickiSm
and Anti. LccornptoniSm have given him.
On the contrary he will urge his claims,
and that too with tenacity and boldncss
and energy that are unknown to the spav-
ined political hacks that have been so
eagerly trotting themselves out for the
Senatorial race. If Mr. CONFESS has an
ambition to he United States Senator,
now is the time for him to secure his cleo
lioD, or at least better time to make the
attempt than will ever again occur in the
history Of this State, for our People will
never again be led astray from the path
Of true Democracy, and his party will
never again have the power to elect him
or any one else to the Senate. Says the
Time:
sour side of the political house in California
will be in the minority, and therefore, our
friends aspiring, or rather who have aspired to
the SenatOrShip, IN place Of DIR. Gwin, need
hardly trouble themselves to look III ut the

will be Senator. and whnt manner Of man is II
to be? The Douglas men. il any party, APP
