The weekly Placer herald., 1854-07-22

ton adjourned sine die.
The assemblage at Carpenters Hall, as
we find from the papers, nominated Mes
srs Latham and McDougal the present
incumbents, for Congress, and Mr.. w ood-
side to the cerkship of the Supreme
Court. The nomination OF these gentle
men to Congress is the asst trick of the
consprators. They know full well that
neither of these gentlemen desire or VIII
accept, under existing circumstances,
nomination and particularly from that
faction.
But they hope to draw of many of the
democracy from the support OF the regu-
lar ticket, by placing their names before
the public, whilst these gentlemen are in
Washington City, and cannot be heard
from, until after the election. Fortunate
ly, we understand, there are plenty of evil
dences in this State of their determina-
tion not to become candidates., and these
will be given to the world in due time
Fellow-Democrats, our candidates are
before you, they are gentlemen of spotless
putaton and excellent rtptclry.
Rally to their support. We have
double enemy to fight, but no false friends
to stab us, in the moment of vicory.
The conspirators and wings are both in
the field, but all before us, let us
"Nail to the mast our holy flag,
Set every thread bare sail y
And vindicdte the justice of our cause,
or die with our faces to the foe.
The last issue of the Placer Democrat
contains series of editorials, singularly
rare and undignified. There, for instance,
is the "Attempt to bribe delegate"
The writer starts out with the remark,
that correspondent of this paper charges
Mr.. Tuttle with having cast the vote of
Thomas Belcher in the county convention,
and that he, Belcher, is not a naturaized
citizen. The fact as charged by the Her.
AIDS correspondent is not denied, hut it
is attempted to hide their shame under
great noise about bribery. "Several
prominent Boilers waited upon Mr..
Belcher," and attempted to buy a vote
which they charged to lie illegal and
which the Democrat does not deny this
is the charge as set forth in their columns.
We have in our possession some very
reliable Information in regard to MIR.
BeIcher's course, and we desire him and
the editor of the Democrat to make the
charge Of bribery in some specific form
name the time, place and men-and then
we promise such refutation as will si
lence the foul sander forever.
The next choice bit of editorial fungus,
is the comments upon our correspondent
of Lynch's precinct, headed by Capt
Thompson, are alluded to- as Il set of ruff
fans. This imported scribbler assumes
to know more of the transactions at that
place than the gentlemen who were pres
ent, and has the unblu>hing inlpudence to
brand as good citizens AS there are in Cal
itornia, with the name of ruffian
The editor regrets exceedingly his want
of time and space to notice our Iowa Hill
correspondent We do to. Doubtless he
would have produced ii regular tit bIt of
low flung >curriIIty-at such composition
his genius would have reve ed i'm IA glorl-
Gus field. However, he satisfied himself
by informing "a Jeffersonian Democrat"
that thunderboIt could he hurled at him,
that certainly would anIIIhilate al ''his
sort" at one blow, and for the present re-
fers him to the crusher in the State Jour
nal.
Stand by to dodge, my brave .Ief1erso-
nian, there's heavy Jumps coming.
Next in the category is the "audacious
proceedings at Dotan's Bar
At this precinct they we're badly disap-
pointed, and therefore their defeat be-
comes an "audacious proceeding" and the
Editors account of that proceeding forms
quite a picturesque view of puddle in
thunderstorm.
We are not aware that the seats of the
two gentlemen who represented this pre-
cinct in the convention were disputed,
and we cannot see the object of all this
TRADE.
We are authorized to say that it is not
true, that the person with whom the no.
tice was left, for the election, was request
-.
