Democratic Meeting at Yankee
Jim.

The Democracy of Township No. 5,
Placer county, met pursuant to call, at
Herrick's Hotel, Yankee Jim's Feb. IS,
1854. The meeting being called to order
VIM. Duck, Esq, was unanimously aP-
pointed Chairman, and James Herrlck,
Secretary.
Samuel Todd, Esq, briefly stated the
object of the meeting, IN few very ap-
proprate and pointed remarks, and
submitted the following preamble and
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted.
WHEREAS, Believing the attempt of
present Legislature to elect United
States Senator to be without lawful prece-
dent, and in violation of the time honor
ed usages of the Democratic parry, as or
ganized under Jefferson and jackson, and
incompatible with the principles by which
we, as Democrats, profess to be governed;
endangering as we believe, the future
success of our party. Therefore be it
Resolred, That we earnestly request
our representatives at Benecia to oppose
said election by their votes and influence,
at the present session of our legislature.
Resolued, That we believe the mem
bers of the present legislature who are
endeavoring to bring on the election this
winter, are not actuated by the principles
which govern us, but are striving to pro-
mote a man whom we are altogether un-
willing should represent us in the Senate
of the United States.
RESOLVED, That the election of a Uni
States Senator this winter, was no part OF
the business for which we elected our
delegation at Benecia.
Resolred, That an address purporting
to have emanated from majority of our
Legislature, portions Of which charge all
as BoLTERs who do not sustain their
views, in bringing on the election of
senator Cd. C. Broderick, y this winter,
are unfounded and unsupported by facts; 4;
but that we deem them BOLTERS, for
making the attempt to depart from the
long established usages of our party, by
insisting on the election this winter, there
by throwing fire. e-brands among US.
Resolued, That in our opinion, if this
subject was left until the legitimate time,
that there would be no danger of the final
success and triumph of the party.
Resolved, That copy of the proceed
ings of this meeting be transmitted to the
| editors of Times * Transcript, State
Journal, and Placer Herald, and also that
copy of the same be transmitted to each
of our Senators and Representatives at
Benecia.
The meeting then adjourned.

mate one,) our opponents may obtain
a majority in the next Xtlegislature, and
we thereby lose the Senator. The
plain English of this is: that unless
we tamely succumb to their dicta-
ton and elect d. G. Broderick, (for
he is the only candidate urging the
election,) they will go over to the
Wings and give them the majority.
In fact, it is saying to the people, you
had the capacity to elect a sensible
man to office in '53, but you will not
in "a, when this question comes
properly before you.
Democrats of Placer, remember
this is done in the name of Democ-
racv!-remember too, that five out of
the six representatives which Placer
has in the Legislature, have joined in
this crusade against your rights. Is
this Democracy? and are you willing
to be classed with those who sustain
the movement? We will not be
so Unjust as for a moment to attribute
to you so gross a slander. Then we
ask you to meet in your respective
towns and localities, and let youl
voices go forth in warning notes to
those who would sacrifice your rights
and trample upon the privileges ol
freemen.

Journal of Commerce, approaches solu-

pleted, that a trial trip will probably be
made in day or two, and Mr.. Ericsson
is in the best spirits-such as confidence
of success inspires. We learn from one
of her principal owners, that experiments
already made show that the desired
amount of pressure may be easily obtain
ed, and full reliance is had that the ship
will attain speed equal to at least nine
miles an hour, which will be rate entire
ly satisfactory. We also learn that it has
been determined to place the Ericsson on
the route between New York and Havre,
as an independent steamer, to replace the
temporary vacancy occasioned by the
destruction Of the Humboldt.

ADDRESS TO THE DEMOCRACY
PLACER COUNTY.
FELLow-CIT MS

Ot which Will Affect Vltally the sue
cess of those great principles for
which the democracy have contend
ed since the establishment of our gov
AS party we have steadily main
tanned the ascendancy in political
matters, not by blind adhesion to
particular men or a party name, but
bv the TRUTH, JUSTICE and broad
PH1LANTHRoPHY Of our measures.
By combining these with our acts;
we hold our moral force; without
these, we ought not and cannot retain
political confidence.
An intelligent people, jealous of
their rights, will be quick to discover
between the right and the wrong, and
to such we now appeal
With the tricks Of underhanded
political wire-workers we hold no
communion, and can no more har-
monise than oil with water; and
should by chance, for interested mo-
tives, such characters steal into otlr
ranks and like the wolf array them
selves in the garb Of one of the flock,
it is our duty to guard against their
evil doings, and protect our cherished
principles from the ravages OF their
poisoned fangs. Months ago we had
occasion to warn you, that scheme
was on foot to force upon the present
legislature, the election of United
States Senator, and to elevate to that
position man from the City of San
Francisco, and although no demon
strations were made at the meeting
alluded to, yet subsequent events full
ly Justify us in saying that this inf
u
deity to the principles of democracy
was then in the hearts of the origlna-
tors of that abortive Convention, and
they were only deferred from asking
at that time an expression Of opinion
by the known fact that large ma
iority of those present came deter
mined to vote against it if it was
brought up.
Since that time we have steadily
watched the progress Of this move
ment, and we deem it our duty again
to address you, lest by the most re-
mote possibility the opinions of the
Democracy Of this county should be
misunderstood.
No sooner was our legislature con-
vened than this question was brought
upon the tapis, and greedy cormo-
rants, thirsting for the spoils of of1ce,
made every other measure however
meritorious subservient to this
scheme. For nearly two months has
the business of the Legislature been
retarded by the cabals of these men.
Our State already laboring under
heavy pecuniary embarrassments is
still further burthened, to crafty
avarice and individual ambition.
Means, the most unjust, have beer
resorted to, to comsummate this
scheme. They have attempted to
brow beat all democrats into theil
service by holding before their eyes
the pains and penalties of "Bolterism'
they have attempted to dragon te
their cause, the influence of the State
and General Government, and failing
signally in their efforts upon those
gentlemen, who hold appointments
under President Pierce, they have
denounced the entire Democratic Ad
ministration.

Ex-GovERNoR HENRY S. F0oTE.-This
distinguished statesman has come with
his family to make his home among US.
His brilliant career in the u. s. Senate,
and his popular course as citizen Of
Mississippi, which placed him in the Ex-
ecutive Chair Of that State, have made
him known wherever American politics
are read, and known too MS a statesman
and orator of superior mould Of intellect.
The high compliments paid to Gov. F.
by some southwestern papers, which
have often been more inclined TO blame
than to praise him, and the enthusiasm
with which he was met in New York by
those whose political views were kindred
to his own, have given him flatterIng
balance sheet of antecedents with which
to enter this new field of his labors.
The Governor is in advanced middle
life, some snow in his locks, and yet tho
fire of the orators eye is burning beneath
it as brightly as ever; and when the vol
canic action OF his eloquence bursts forth,
the adversaries of his cause will find that
the field must be we'll fought in which be
is champion. Asewm09 sa alsi
1t affords us pleasure to announce the
arrival Of respectable citizens on our
shores at all times, but when men of Gov.
Foote'S character and talents, come 70
settle permanently, and identify them
selves with the fortunes and future fame
Of our State, we are disposed to give
them, as we do to the distinguished Ex-
Governor, the most cordial congratula-
ton, and the warmest wishes for their
success and prosperity.-Iines s. Trans.

George Whelden. The committee then
retired, and the meeting took a recess tor
half an hour.
Upon re-assembling the committee pre-
sented the following preamble and reso!u-
tions, which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We have seen with feelings
of regret, a want of harmony existing
among the Democratic members of the
legislature in relation to the election OF
United States Senator, and believing that
discord in any great political action is
pregnant with evil, and subversive OF the
best interests of our party, which we con-
ceive to be identical with the true inter-
ests of our State; and believing that the
principles Of Democracy have always
taught an acquiescence to the will OF the
majority, in all bodies and in all cases;
and observing that ma jority of the rep
resentatves of Placer county have ex-
pressed themselves in favor Of the cleo
ton of u 5. Senator during the pres
ent session Of the Legislatures; and also
believing that a majority of the Placer
county Democracy are III favor OF the
same, and that the opposition to the mea-
sure has originated in great degree with
those who used their exertions and in
fluence to defeat us in the hard fought
campaign of last fail. Therefore,
Resolced, That the Democracy of this
Township have full confidence in the abll-
ity and honesty of our members OF the
Legislature, and would Willingly have left
the matter to them, as their legitimate
business, if we were not called upon to
give expression to our opinions.
Resoiued, That we now earnestly ex-
press our opinion, and recommend to our
LEGISLATORS, to use their influence to Sc
cure the election Of a u. ;. Senator du'
ring the present session.
Resoloed, That it is our opinion, thai
anv other course would tend seriously t6
iniure the influence and energy OF ou'
party hereafter, and thus exert banefu
influence on the best interests OF ou
adopted and beloved State.
After the adoption of the foregoing pre-
ambe and resolutions, the meeting wa
addressed for the space of about tw'
hours, by w. B. Greer, Esq, Judg
Lynch, Col. G. G. Newman and other
who were frequently applauded by tn
meeting.
On motion it was
Resolved, That these proceedings t

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN BUTTE 20.
At Democratic meeting held in Butte
county, few days since, the following
resolutions were passed relative to the
Senatorial election:
Resolved, Believing as we do, that the
present movement to electa U. S. Senator
this winter, had its inception in San Fran
cisco, for the express purpose OF securing
the election of a Senator from that city,
which city, since the organization of the
State, has had three u. 5. Senators, and
now has two Senators and one Represen-
tative in Congress. And whereas, be-
lievng as we do, that it is due to the party
and to the people at large, that some per-
son north of the city of San Francisco
should be selected as our next U. 5. Sena-
tor-And whereas, believing as we do,
that the attempt now being made to force
on an election of Senator at the present
session of the Legislature, is an outrage
upon the Democratic party and its well
established usages, an abuse of the power
granted by the Constitution, and an insult
to the people at large; therefore
Resolved, That our delegation in the
legislature he, and they are hereby in
strncted, to oppose any and all efforts to
elect United States Senator at this ses-
sion of the legislature, and to resist any
and all attempts to violate precedents and
democratic usages in forcing on an elec-
ton in advance of the usual time.
Resolved, that we fully endorse the ac-
ton of our representatives, the Hon. D.
B. Mckee, and the Hon. Seneca Ever,
who opposed bringing on the election this
winter, and fully endorse the sentiments
I set forth in their address to their constltu-
ents, and in accordance with the appeal
made to their constituents, we return a
verdict of "Well done thou good and
! faithful servants.
