WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCHS. SenaTor LarHsmM.—Tbie individual ar. tived in California, from Washington, last -umiier, at the close-of-the last session of . Congress. He came back to his constituenta ‘on that occasion with a dubious character as w loyal citizen. Report -had it, he gave ex“pression to sentiments prejudicial to our Government before lexving Washington and that the same or similar sentiments were re“peated on the steamer while on his way to ~~ California, and even after his landing at San Francisco. Tt was charged upon him and \ neither denied or disproved. But the loyal. ty of the people of the Golden State was _,Plain and unequivocal, Latham saw it, and "true to his well knows instincts veered like 4 weather-cock to suif, the popular breeze. Ho was a Senator of the United States, and his influence to be courted for the sake of the country in its emergency. So thought the people of San Francisco and eo they acted accordingly. A subscription list was sent _ wbout to obtain fands to defraythe expenses of ~ -publie-reseption to Senetor Latham: What . for 1 Did the people of the State admire the . character of the man? . Was he a representative Union man that they wished to do him honor ? Not at all—nothing of the kind. The merchanta of San Franciseo, many of them, ‘when approached for money said, they did not regard Latham worthy as a Union man of any demonstration . : his honor. “Nor do I,” said one of the men seeking subscriptions, “but we waut to @atter and fix him on our side.” The same idea of the individual was: held all over the State. Here, in our streets, ._ we have never heard a person familiar with the character ‘of Senator Latham. express ‘but one sentiment in regard to his Unionism. ~All parties have said, and said repeatedly, “that should any event transpire that would .forebode defeat to the-arma-of the Republic, Latham would be found taking positien with ~ the cause that promised.sucéess. “This opinion of the man we believe to be universal, for in numerous conversations on the subject ‘with men from all parts of the State, we have never “heard a contrary opinion exLatham went on the stump and made eloquent speeches for the Union all over the State. Probably he meant what he said in those speeches. Uiionism was in the ascen_ ent. Such was the overwhelming spirit of the people to sustain the. Government, that’ the little Senator saw that a most powerful opposition to disunion was raised which promised success. A child and creature of popuJar enthusiasm, he went with the current and rejoiced in floating along, a puff-ball on the topmost:-wave. Where is he now ? Thrown in contact with all sorts of minda at Washington, hearing the sneers and diatribes of foreigners inimical to our Government, sway~ ed by his prejudices in favor of the doctrines of Calhoun in,which only is his wind true to the past; he turns nondesempt in politics,and \ while affectir'g to be a Union man, gives aid and comfort to the enemy by a virtual endorsement of the righteousness of the cause ‘of revolt. Thus, the dapper little weathercock intimates Breckinridge ought to-have been elected President of the United Stites, votes for retaining Bright and Stark, arrant traitors, in their seats in a loyal Senate, rec' othmends such doubtful men as Denver and Shields forimportant military commands, and reviles the Government for i suppressing from ~ the mails treasonable publications, and suspending the’ Privileges of the writ of habeas corpus for purposes of self-preservation. _ We hope the coutemptibie position of the @harlatan will begin to be seen He has ever (preserved the character of a cold aid unprincipled lump of unmitigated selfishness areong iaone who know him best. But the policy. has been tecognixed of flattering and cajoling him to secue him to a cause and, by this mepns he has obtained positions of honor ‘which he never by any generous or nuble conduct deserved. If we mistake not he is ‘about played out. Av iguominious expulsion from the United States Senate would suit the --toneof the public mind exactly, The people do not contentedly look upon a dubious character eceupying a high place in the loyal -conneils of the nation..In places of trust they wantonly men they can implicitly trust fa oe aol enciy omsangenay. Latham ia not one of a. ois pew hotel now building at that place will _ shortly be completed. It is an extensive and well iaehah belting. © coon 2 THE REBELLION.
