he iohoWlng IS copy OF a call made
by the Miners and Settlers" Central
Committee, in El-Dorado County addressed
to Miners and Settlers, and the citizens of
that County in general. 1t is worthy of
attentive perusal, and ably presents in lit
tie space the important issues to be settled
on Wednesday next. We ask for it an
unprejudiced perusal. 1t is equally appli-
cable to the voters of this county, and its
principles are endorsed by the Whig Re
form Candidates of this county =
To the Citi~ens of tie County Of EDO
redo:
In presenting the Miner and Settler"
Ticket for your suffrages at the ensuing
Election, ION Wednesday, the 7th day Of
September, A. D. 1851 we briefly refer
to the causes of this organization.
all political parties are, or should be, for
the purpose of insuring the success of such
measures as will secure the greatest good
to the greatest number, and all who feel
an interest in the welfare of this state
should unite themselves fof that object.
Whenever party organization is con-
trolled by unscru pulous partizans, whose
sole object is selfaggrandisement, Or from
other circumstances falls short of the ac-
complishment of its primary object, we
hold it to be the duty of every citizen who
may be identified therewith to Withdraw
his cooperation from men thus unscrupu-
lous, and who, eech-like, bleed the people
from every pore.
We believe that the dominant party in
this state, who have controlled and man.
aged the state government since its first
organization, have been and still are under
the guidance Of reckless politicians, whose
measures are subversive of the best inter-
ests of the people, and if continued longer
will lead us to bankruptcy and ruin.
In the short space Of little over three
years, they have involved the state in q
debt of over Four MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS. They have squandered property
belonging to the state, worth MILLIONS
and given it to spectators without one
dollar in return. They have virtually vast
ed the most ample and magnificent
" School Fund.-" with which a free people
were ever endowed, and made the children
Of this state its forced creditors, for the
sake of putting a few dollars of ready
money into their own pockets.
They have enacted Stamp Act," more
odious in its features than that of King
George III, for the Kings law drew mon
ey from the pockets of the people, for the
support. of the Government, while this
" Stamp Act" sustains an unscrupulous
Press, dedicated to the service of heartless
They have paid hundreds of thousands
of the peoples money to political favorites
for Public Printing, that might have been
done for one-fourth the cost. They have
paid "Our Own" the Miners Advocate"
for only one item, 1856 for printing,
which that press never did but for which
they paid the "Times and Transcript"
Three Hundred Dollars
The basis of their Revenue is but anoth
er name for an unequal Tariff, for it grinds
the people with 7dres, and like an ugly
nightmare hangs around their neck, and
crushes their spirit and energy.
They have created sinecures, in which
the voice of the people was not heard, and
these swarms Of officers sit like vultures
upon this monument of wrong. These and
many other things, equally odious in their
character, they have done and then as
act Of effrontery, ask the people
who have been thus robbed and misrepre-
sented, to support for office the men who
have fattened upon their sustenance.
To save, if possible, the credit of the
state-to reform abuses, and to hurl from
power men thus reckless of your interests,
the Miner and Settler owe their polit-
ical inception.
Discarding all former political prefer
ences, Democrats and Wings have united I
together with an unyielding determination
for the accomplishment of Retrenchment
and Reform
To you, citizens of Ell Dorado, we ap-
peal! We ask a candid investigation of
The laws passed, (pretendedy.) for your
benefit /; and we ask if great majority Of
them are not oppressive, unjust and upcon-
We ask if it is not your high priuilede
to see that they are repealed ? And, suf-
ering under the grievances they enforce,
S it not duty you owe yourselves and
your neighbor to see that it is done?
The nominees of the "Afiner and Settler"
ire pledged to exert their talents and in
1uence to repeal these odious measures.
AS an earnest of their professions they
stand before you, and it is for yo1 to apply
he Jeffersonian rule {" Is he honest, is he
capable ?"
