Auburn, MAY 27, 1854.

~ In the last issue of the Democrat,
we find the proceedings of Mr.. Lynch's
Convention, of the 10Th of last Novem-
ber, published, with various improvements
upon its first appearance before the public.
But this is too f1msy design to cheat the
Democratic party Of this county.
We have heretofore exposed the inten-
ton Of the getters up of this little meet
ing, and also their failure to accomplish
what they desred-the passage of reso-
luton in favor of the Senatorial election.
A number of gentlemen attended deter
mined to prevent any action of the kind,
and who have, with the exception of
few who have been whipped into the
Broderick Traces steadily opposed this
outrageous scheme ever since. To these
faithful Democrats the party owe much;
hut to the faithless partizan who would
sacrifice every democratic principle at the
shrine of his personal ambition nothing is
due. And we are glad to know that the
people of this county are determined to
select from the Democratic masses men
who have steadily and honestly opposed
the great Senatorial fraud, and who will
never sacrifice the principles of their
party to crafty the blind ambition of one
man. We say, we are pleased to know
this fact, and the editor of the Democrat
and his Broderick co-workers cannot help
the determination of the people.

FIRE.-Our citizens were surprised by
the alarm OF fire on Wednesday evening
last. 1t proved to be the old Bowling Sa-
loon adjoining Mechanics Hall, which
had not been occupied for the past twelve
months. 1t was fortunate for Auburn that
the fire was so early in the evening, and
that it was so timely extinguished.
There is no doubt but this was the
work of an incendiary.
This little alarm should remind our
citizens Of the necessity of fostering and
assisting the Fire Company. The Hooks
and Ladders have all been made, but it is
very important that money should be
raised to buy Truck, and a shed built
for it to stand under; also for the pur-
chase Of ropes, buckets, axes, &c. At
present house might burn down before
single ladder could be gotupon the ground.
Let one and all throw in their mite! En-
courage the Hook & Ladder G Company
you'll never have cause to regret it.

"Judge Douglas continues to lie huno
in efigy by the Abolitionists in various
parts Of the Union. The Judge is acouir.
ing immense notoriety, and this is the first
step to fame and power. His intentions
i'm the Nebraska business are correct and
patriotic; he sincerely means to place the
Slavery Question where it belonys-n
the power of the people-and to remove
it from the Governments; and in this ins
tention he carries out the purest Demo-
cratic doctrine. The Aboitionists wish
to employ the power Of the Central Gov
erment for the suppression of Slavery:
the Missouri Compromise was an exerton
of that power. Its abolition merely car
ries out the doctrine of State Rights"
Commercial advertiser.
Thus we see the Broderick conspirators
constantly shifting their ground. A little
while since, and they were all opposed
to the Nebraska bill Resolutions were
introduced in the State Senate approving
the principles thereof, and we find them
almost in body seeking to dodge the
question through the cunningly devised
substitutes of the very distinguished Sena-
tor Bryan. He had denounced the bill of
Senator Douglas, as the work of "a west
tern charIatan," and as supported by
'northern doughfaces," and of course it
was very natural that the Broderick party
should pick upon him to lead them in
their attempt to defeat its Endorsement
With all their ingenuity, however, they
failed in their object yet the records
show that the entire opposition proceeded
from tho leading men among Broderlck's
supporters. We wonder what Messrs.
Sprague and Bryan and Hager and Lent
will think on being thus classified by
MIR. Broderick's versatile organ in this
city, as Abolitionistsn' We hope they
will ponder over The above extract, and
digest it we'll We have our own private
opinions in regard to them, but it has been
reserved for their own organ to denoml-
nate them abolltionists. Times e. Trans

spreading themselves in the way of cleo

thing of this kind. Let men he selected

Correspondence of the Placer Herald.
ToDD's VALLEY, May 22d, 1854

ToDD's VALLEY, May 22d, 1854.
Dear Mitchell: know of no better
way to employ my few leisure moments
than to give you a few more items of fact,
in regard to-the prosperity of our flourish
ing little town and surrounding country.
The business of the merchants and hotel
keepers is rapidly increasing. Fred.
Shearer is fitting up his Bowling Saloon
in splendid manner. Fred's cigars, mint
luleps, brandy-smashes, and sherry-cob-
lers might be beat in the city of New
Orleans, but not in this section of country.
The miners are all looking cheerful and
happy. Messrs. Livingston, Cheesbro y
Co., took out one day last week $525,62.
Their pay is increasing as they go back
into the hill VIM. Hall s. Co., have
started cut into Red Hill, which will be,
when they strike the basin, about 45O feet
in length and 55 feet deep-they have got
as high as eight dollars to the pam
Buckner g. Co., on the same hill, are ma
king on an average from twenty-five to
thirty dollars per day Their gold is
very coarse-tbe pieces weighing from 81
to $40 The Union Company are now
running tunnel into the Main hill. They
expect to go from 800 to 1000 feet before
they strike the old channel in the hill.
The claim of the Big Spring Tunnel Co.,
has advanced in value fourteen thousand
dollars during the past week. What they
have discovered to justify such an increase
don't know; at any rate shares can
scarcely be bought at any price. The
Orc Company, which is superlntended by
Mr.. Lowell, formerly of Ell Dorado county,
is progressing steadily. The Independent
Bed Rock Company are driving their
work, under the supervision OF Frank
Thayer. This enterprise must prosper.
In cutting the ditch, in which to set their
sluice, they have struck a bed of gravel
about five and a half feet thick, which
prospects from one cent to fourteen dol
lars to the pan. They have sure thing
for pile when their work is completed,
which will be in about three months. The
Grizzly Company are working day and
night. They have taken out as high as
eight hundred dollars per week-only
washing the dirt which they necessarily
have to wash in sluicing out their cut or
ditch, in which to set their sluces. Out
of the great number of claims which are
being worked in and about this place,
don't know of one that is not paying well;
and many men are making their piles.
Several Of our citizens, amongst whom
are Charley Myres and Mr. Wheeler, are
going to leave for the Atlantic States to-
morrow. These gentlemen are both old
residents, and have done well. Charley
is going to return with his better-half and
settle permanently IN Todd's Valley.
Mr.. O'Hara, from Ell Dorado county,
has settled here with his family, and con-
templates building large hotel. Judge
Longley is prospecting the hill near this
place, adjoining the Big Spring Co. The
Judge is looking very well and appears to
be in fine spirits. His energy is untiring-
adversely may firown, but the Judge still
smiles. Yours, &C., BED Rock.

Of years. 1t first appeared July Cd, 1918,

1t occurred in April, 1900, in May, 1918,
and in May, 1886. 1t will return in June,
