When you assert or intimate that we
are an Abolitionlst, or ever have been,
you lie, sir.
That we have been, ike yourself, a
publisher of Wing paper, we have never
denied, and are perfectly willing every
body should know; and we have voted in
our life time for Wings; but never sir,
like you did--we never went into a con-
vention and because our fellow citizens
had not enough confidence in us to NOM

Wing adversary. No, Philip, our democ-

"STRAwS SHOW WHICH WAY TIRE WIND

the supporters of the Senatorial fraud,
on their return to Placer, with laudatory
compliments, but opens its heaviest .bat-
terry upon MIR. Walkup the only opposing
member we had in the Legislature to that

Ifanything further is needed to confirm
what we have said of the objects of that

True Democracy.

The Placer Democrat man and his ''gal-
vanized coadjutors" are great sticklers
for the true democracy. We remember
seeing in l949, ii comic cut representing
an old Tar looking through a spye-glass
at some specimens a party of California
miners were presenting for inspection,
and under the drawing was written, "An
ounce sight, science is very scarce''
Just now 1t occurs TO us, that one nigh
say of his true democracy, "An ounce a
sight, democracy is very scarce" We
have not forgotten a passage in the famous
address Of the Brodericktes published in
February last, just at the time the Editor
was blowing his horn the loudest in sup
port of the Senatorial move. Here it is:
'sThe National Government, as COM
pared with the States, is but subordinate
agent; in short clerk, appointed by the
general partnership to collect and apply a
portion of their rents, and perform such
other tasks as the great sovreigntes can
not, without some Inconvenience and
IJCi iOi III lot tllCiiIStiNtS. II is

tutes a central administration, Just as the
Supreme States constitute central DOW

nation when that agent forgets its subor.
dinate capacity, Iooses sight of its obliga-
tions, and purse. proud with fees and
incomes, attempts 10 govern our actions,
and perform the part of master. Yet such
is the state of things between the Admin
stralion and the Democracy of California,
and we feel that it has reached point
which demands from us a proper anger,
and perhaps, at a future time, due
resentment"
Afterward these true Democrats con-
cluded, as great concession, to support
Gen. Pierce's administration. if the op-
position would wheel into line for the
election of Mr.. Broderick. These men
are the hackers of the Democrat man. If
that's his true democracy, we prefer the
bogus; meantime we'll await that s'proper
anger" and ''due resentment" that is going
to be so crushing.
The weekly Placer herald., 1854-06-03

Many OF our readers are aware that the
Placer Herald has been playing treach-
erous game towards the party for six or
seven months past, in publishing at the
head of its colums Central Committee
which has no existence in fact.
Placer Democrat.
Although the Editor OF the Democrat
would deny the existence of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee, yet the fact that
it does erist and is acknowledged by the
democracy ofthe county, gives our neigh
Dor world of trouble. Whenever he
thinks of the Central Committee, he be-
comes spasmodic and twitches like man
afflicted with the St. Vitus dance, and
Immediately proceeds to pounce upon us
with all the concentrated rage of disap-
pointed Broderickte. We can afford to
have some compassion for the poor fellow,
for he has striven hard for his Broderick
masters and does their bidding with
right good will. He wrote out the call
for meeting the 18th of November, '53,
and was the means Of getting up Com
mitlee which he parades at the head Of
his paper. He circulated petitions in
favor of the Senatorial Electon-calIed
meeting in favor of it, wrote out resou-
tions to he read upon the occasion, but
was disappointed in dong so, from the
fact but 8 or persons attended, and they
told Philip his resolutions would not suit
them-and so with his bastard committee,
the people repudIate. 1t would be a
matter of qualification to US, if the Editor,
who seems to have such an aversion to
the Herald, would point out to the demo-
cracy Of this county, where we have not
advocated good democratic doctrine and
measures, since the Herald became a
political paper. If your assertion is true,
every democrat should know it, and above
all others we should know il, for we are
an interested party. Was it anti-demo-
cratic in US to condemn the election of
U. S. Senator the past winter, and to
warn the people weeks before the Legis-
lature convened, Of the many theving
bills which would be introduced and made
hinge upon the accomplishment of this
base fraud. There's an easy lesson for
you Philip, Well not task you hard all at
once.

PASSENGERS FOR THE STATEs.-Our
city was yesterday filed with strangers on
their way to the Atlantic States, among
whom much excitement prevailed in con-
sequence of the agents of the different
lines putting up the price Of passage.-
Miners supposed that the fact of an oppo-
sitlon steamer sailing would materially
diminish the fare, which on their arrival
here they found to be the contrary They
therefore became indignant, assembled in
large crowds in Sacramento street, in the
neighborhood of the passage Offices, cheer
ing and groaning as the fancy took them.
A meeting was held, at which resolutions
were passed, condeinnatory of the course
pursued by the steamship companies.
The following were the rates of fare
yesterday:
BY the Mail Line, John L. Stephens
lst. cabin, $3.50; dining saloon, $16O;
steerage, Sl2O.
BY the Nicaragua Line, Sierra Nevada
Upper cabin, 1915; dining saloon, 225;

prices including iSthmus charges.

Auburn, JUNE 3, 1854.
Frederick POLICY.

The base attempt to head the people,
BY bringing on the Senatorial election, is
vet fresh in the minds of all. And 1t is
we'll remembered too, that notwithstand-
ing the protestations of the people by
petitions and in public meetings many of
their representatives laughed at their re-
quests and secuted at the instructions
which they received from their constituent
-cy. But many promises had been given,
and there were to be many recipients of
them-hence Mr.. Broderick must bs lect
ed to the United States Senate to make
the contract good. But notwithstanding
the 'scohesive power" which held the
Broderick band together, their ''embodi-
ment' failed in his aspirations. After
the adjournment of the Legislature they
met in solemn concave at San Francisco.
Some were no doubt very anxious for
the promises-but more work must be
done before promises could be fulfilled.
The supporters of David must go home
to their different counties. Set their trig-
gers, by getting Broderick men to pack
primary meetings, county conventions,
nominate Broderick men for the Legs-
lature, send Broderick delegates to State
Convention, Sc, &c.-and all for the
sake of the sweet expectations which are
yet in the future. And in order to pre-
pare the peoples mind for this great
policy, the names of certain gentlemen,
who have worked so faithfully and so
hard for the Senatorial scheme the past
winter, are conspicuously placed before
the people as prominent candidates for
congress-. When all these traps are set,
then We'll have State Contention! But
fortunately for the political integrity of
the State and sound Democratic rule, the
people intend to have hand in political
management and affairs themselves. Al
ready are our honest mountaineers on the
alert. They know these schemes of the
arch intriguer, and will be prepared to
meet them. Any Broderick man, might
as we'll attempt to steal into Heaven as to
secure an office from the people they
have so outrageousy disobeyed in the last
Legislature. Sure enough Father Richie,

The Democrat man has been bottIing
his wrath against us for the past two
weeks; but it seems he could find nothing
but the same old set of lies, which we
have heretofore refuted to the satisfaction
of every democrat in the county. How
ever, there is a theory sometimes adopted
presume he is now acting upon, that a
''lie once told and we'll stuck to, is as good
as the truth.''
We are accused of secretly working
against the interest of the "true dernoc-
racy" since the fall of so, and yet strange
to say, 'the mere qualification of the
malice engendered by the action of the
County Convention of the 18th of No
vember, (meaning Nov. '5S) is the secret
Of the base treachery, by the editor of the
Herald"

arguments.
