A Leaf from the Record.

The San Francisco Bulletin has pursued
George c. Gorham, since his nomination,
with the persistent maiignity of Demon
Week after week, and day after day, the
columns of that paper have teemed with SIAN
derous charges against the man who has
dared to aspire to position and fame without
consulting the pleasure of its domineering
and dictatorial conductors. In like manner
it assailed the best and truest men of the
State in former times. When David c..
Broderick came forth from the humble walks
of life, and at the call of his countrymen
became the champion of Freedom, and an
opponent of aristocracy and African slavery,
the Bulletin assailed him very much in the
same style it now persecutes George c..
Gorgam. That the reader may judge of the
Bulletins style of assaults, we copy the
following from its issue of October II, 1856,
which issue was supervised by the same man
who presides over its editorial columns to-
day, G. K Fitch:
What prompted such man as David C.
Br0derick to seek the high position of United
States Senator. it is almost impossible to
conceive. Springing from the purlieus of
Now York city reared amidst and versed in
all the secrets,and wire pulling of the poll
ticians of Tammany Hall, we find this bold
unscrupulous man suddenly stepping forth
into the public arena, surrounded by class
of the most vicious and depraved men,
collected from all quarters by shoulder,
Ill -, Iron aI
and fugitives from justice, aspiring to one
of the ighest positions in our Federal Gov
ernment. What prompts this scheming.
corrupt politician, without the first qualif-
cation, either morally, socially or by educa-
ton? Nothing that we can conceive. save
that he is monomaniac, or that he may have
a better opportunity to 'mporerish the Gov,
ernment. Should such scoundreL
wear the Senatorial mantle? During the
recent revolution he has confined himself to
rowdy swagger and face of vulgar aspect to
be seen on the public thoroughfares Button
the morning of election, forth he steps with
all his forces marshaled for the battle. The
rocdy champion is himself again Let the
ton, sound his death knell, and cur State
will soon be rid of his blasting presence.
The people of the State stood by Broderick
and refused to heed the denunciations of the
Bulletin, and time and events have shown
that they were right in doing so. Now let
the people stand by George C. Gorham, and
thereby teach the Bulletin that its abuse
cannot blind them to the merits of q true
natriot and daservinC man

ANOTHER Blow AT THE FENIANs.-The

ANOTHER Blow AT THE FENIANs.-The
telegraph brings the following choice morsel
from Washington
The State Department, in response to an
inquiry, says upon investigation of the sub
ject, no case is found where an American
citizen has been convicted in Ireland for
Fenian sentiments uttered in the United
States.
1t is notorious. SAYS the Oakland News,
that to Andrew johnson belongs the credit OF
interposing obstacles in the way of the
American Fenians which prevented them
from accomplishing their purpose Of Wrestling
Canada from the British grasp. Had the
President and his deceitful Secretary OF
State given the Fenians legitimate chance,
the Irish flag would be floating to day IN
Quebec and Montreal. Not only there. but
an Irish squadron. floating tie Irish flag,
would to day be securing the ocean in quest
of British cruisers. Sewards leaning to
wards the English aristocracy is proverbal.
At heart he is thorough snob, and would
rather be the recipient Of smile from an
English lordling, than an ovation from the
entire people of suffering Ireland. No Irish
man, who is not entirely blinded by his
prejudices and ignorance, can ignore the
stern truth that johnson and his Internal
administration has fastened the shackes on
his native country for many year to come.
johnson is a traitor to liberty both in Amer
lea and Ireland, and SO never misses an
opportunity to play the toady to British
officials.

TRUTH FOR ONcE.-CaFt. Semmes, in n
lecture on the cruise Of the Alabama, which
he is delivering in this country, speaks of
Yankee ships in the following enthusiastic
style:
When we were ahoat in the Alabama, if
we were in doubt as to the nationality of any
ship we were pursuing, we had only to take
look at her. at whatever distance she
might BE-, through our telescope, to deter
mine at once whether she were Yankee or
not If she excelcd all other ships
in the symmetay Of the hull, the length, the
grace and taper Of her sparS; if her canvass
was winter, her sails larger, more beautifully
set and ''sl ted home" ho st4d in a
more seamanhke manner, if, in short like a
beautifu woman, she ravished the beholder
as well by the swelling and graceful outlines
of her figure as by the witchery of her
d7apery, we were always sure she was a
Yankee.
