''BR1oKs poMERoY IN CALIFORNIA.

SATURDAY says /
On Tuesday we received visit
from this gentleman, and had the !
pleasure.of grasping him by the hand
for the first time. Brick is q man
of fine personal appearance, and is
enjoying robust health; in-
deed, we believe ne is always healthy
and happy and deserves to be so, as
he carefully cschews all immoral hab-
its and improper indulgences. He
has been the architect of his own for
tune 5, arsd the story of his remarkable
career reads like thrilling romance.
lie is daring, dashing and dauntless.-
The La Cross (Wisoonsin) Democrat,
which he built up, and through which
he made himself acquainted with the
people of every section, is only, about
ten years old, yet has a circulation ex-
ceeded by only very few American
journals. ~
Mr.. Pomeroy is accompanied by
his bride and will tarry some days
yet in Sacramento, before proceeding
to San Francisco. He intends to de-
vote several months to "doing" the
Pacific States and Territories, Being
a close observer as well as a forcible
writer, his sketches of Pacific life and
manners, scenery, ETC., which will
probably enliven the already vigorous
columns of the Democrat for period
of six months, will be read with keen
interest by the multitude of subscrib-
ers to that journal.
i Mrs. Pomeroy will accompany her
husband in his extensive travels over
the Pacific coast. There is no need
of bespeaking for them warm wei
come from the people of any region.
They will be greeted with the most
earnest cordiality wherever they go,
| The people all want to see Brick. y
Democrats remember his telling hits
in the past, and they know that wher
he returns to the scene of his past and
future labors, he will again 'fiercely
take his trenchant blade in hand"
On the lst inst. Mr.. Pomeroy mad,
} rousing speech to the largest crowd
ever assembled in Yolo county, Cali
} fornia. We copy the following ex
: tract of the speech from the Sacra
: mento Democrat of August B:

speak unkindly of those who diffe
from Democrats. Milk for babes

old men-gristle for dogs, and bone'

who have in the name of God, moral
ty, and loyalty brought such wot

MIA, Democrats, working men, brotl
ers, while the stars above us shine
while life lasts, "by the great Etel

Gus applause, long continued.
Mr.. Pomeroy continued till nearl
l o'clock in the morning, the crow
being larger when he closed tha
when he began. He paid Governe
