On the way, Gen. Viorol, veteran soldier,
was taken prisoner, which many persons con-
slider unnecessary, since it was universally
supposed that he secretly favored the family
in which he had once served. Onward they
sped, swelled every moment by soldiers and
populace, till drawing near the Finkmat., a
simple but deplorable mistake ruined the
whole enterprise. What trifes will vanquish

Tacitus, ''has the chief influence over warlike
events" At certain point in the suburbs
of the city, Faubourg de Pierre, two ways met,
both of which led to the barracks. Either
through ptecipitate haste or fear, the head Of
the column entered narrow lane which was

but in which it would be impossible to repulse
any attacking force. Foreseeing this, Napo-
leon left in the main street half the regiment,
while he with 400 men pressed on to the bar
racks. Unfortunately the infantry was not
ready to receive him, as they had had no init
nation of the Princes approach, -since the
messenger sent to apprize them had been de-
layed,- till they heard his troops in the court
yard. They were at that moment preparing

Signs of the Times.

Our neiyhbor of the Placer Democrat
and his "gaIvanized coadjutors" have
been most cunningly eluding the question
now before the people, and have been
most industriously circulating the report
among them, that it WAS only a few
interested persons about the town Of Au-
burn, who were making false issue upon
the Senatorial question. They seem
highly offended because the Herald has 50
often alluded to it as the true issue in our
party, for, answer they, the Legislature
has adjourned and now nothing further
can he done until next session.
They would have US believe that they
are entirely obivious of the fact that,
upwards of two hundred thousand dollars
were spent in the attempt by the Broder-
ick faction to perpetrate upon the country
this gross fraud. They fancy we do not
see the superhuman efforts now making
by this same faction, not only in this
county but in all parts Of the State, to
support, maintain in power, and again
elect the friends Of Mr.. Broderick in or
der that their great leader may yet ride
into power and they banquet upon their
ill-gotten spoils. They foolishly fancy
that the people, when they are called
upon by the tax collectors, do not trace
at once the increased burthens in taxation
to thier false and swindling legislation.
But in this they are woefulIy mistaken.
Every bite Of bread and pound Of beef
reminds the consumer that he is paying
the license of the butcher and merchant.
The people will not rest co9tens. They
are demanding reform and are determined
to have it. Our brethren in the noun
tains are moving en- masse to rid the party
The weekly Placer herald., 1854-06-24

1t is currently reported here that the
Broderck organ in Marysville has been
seized and is advertised to he sold for
debt. AS failure of private enterprise.
We mention it with regret. But taken in
connection with other unmistakab!e signs
of the times, it points to that irresistible
current of popular feeling which must
inevitably sweep like an avalanche over
the State in September next. By cutting
entirely loose from the corruption which
has ever infested San Francisco, and
spread it's pestiferous influence partially
over our beautiful land, the State may yet
he saved to the democracy of the Union.
There is that democratic sentiment in the
hearts of the people that is never appeal
ed to in vain, when that appeal is made
in purity of motives and principles -
Whatever then, may be the action of San
Francisco politicians and their allies, let
it pass by the democracy as the idle wind.
Give tree and uncontrolled expression to
the sentiments of the people, and although
the fire brand of an 'sU S Senator" is in
the canvass, the State will be found as
coolly and proudly erect as ever.

BewARE OF FALsEHoOD.-A muggns
in the last Placer Democrat, writing over
the romantic signature of Alonzo, grows
quite facetious over certain matters relat-
ing to the Democratic Central Committee.
He expresses himself exceedingly sorry
to see personal friend of his, placed
upon the Committee, "but felt some re-
lief when he learned that it was done
without his (Mr. McMartin's) knovl-
edge or CONSENT"
There is no heading off all the lies these
Broderick creatures are perpetratng -
We hear of them circulating falsehoods
in regard to various members of the Com
mittee. In one part Of the county that
Mr.. McMartin never consented to serve
on the Committee, and in another part
they circulate that Messrs. Pile and Cum
mings are strong BroderIck men, &c.,
And thus they go, insiduously reddling
falsehoods for want of truth to support
their sinking cause. There is not man
upon the Committee, who is not there by
his own consent, and every one of them
strong opposers Of the Senatorial fraud.
The Broderickites may circulate all the
falsehoods they can conceive, to hoodwink
the people, and lay as many "pipes" as
their veritable leader himself might desire,
but it will not blind tile people to the fact
that they have been betrayed and misrep-
resented by these same speculating polti-
clans.
Everywhere, throughout the county, can
they be found trying to urge men to get
into the County Convention, who will
vote for Broderick candidates. Demo-
Gratis, it is your duty to see that you are
not thus .overreached. In your primary
elections, select as delegates, men who
you know aud in whom you can confide.
Men who will vote for new order Of
things, and who are determined that there
shall be healthy change in the admins
tration of our public affairs--your country
demands it Of you, and your principles
and interests require it.

We understand that men were
travelling in the lower part of the
county yesterday, informing every
Broderick man they could get hold
of, that there was to be a large dem
ocratic meeting in the town of Au-
burn to-day, for the purpose of heal
ing the division that exists in the
party. Now there is no truth in
such call-none has been made
or published. 1t is only trick of
the Broderickites to marshal their
forces and present show-getting
in few Anti-Senatorial men per-
haps, and then voting them down.
Democrats should be on their guard
against these Broderick intriguers.
