CAMP MEETING.-To some it may seem
novelty to have camp meeting in Califor-
MIA ; but this is the fourth summer of their
orderly and successful operation in this State.
There has already been one in the upper por.
tion Of this county-Yankee .Iim's, July lst-
and now the invitation is out, and the ground
made ready for one in the lower part of our
county.
The camp is within few minutes walk of
the new Stage Road to Marysville, and about
J miles below Virginiatown.
The exercises to commence Sept Sth and
hold over Sabbath We hope that this Meet.
ing will be numerously attended and that it
Will form no exception to the good order and
success, which have uniformly marked all
such Meetings in this State.

come then prepared for three days worship.

AT the conclusion of the speeches the

Resolved, That the democrats of this

have heretofore been co-workers with ns
should now openly oppose the reguIarlv
nominated State and County icket
thereby giving their support to the wings
Resolved, That we heartily concnr
with resolution adopted by democratic
meeting at Rattlesnake Bar, calling unon
G. A. Futile to resign his office as Stata
Senator, believing by his public acts he
has proven himself unworthy of the con-
fidence of his constituents.
Resolved, That we recognise no other
State ticket except that headed by Den.

County ticket unless it contains the names
of Gray, Todd, Baker and the rest of the
regular nomnees-men of honesty and
integrity, and sound upon all of the great
issues which NOW divide the two political
parties.
Resolved, That we cordially endorse
the proceedings of Messrs. Stafford, Curtis
and Davis, three Of our delegates in the
late democratic county convention, and
return them our thanks for the straight
forward and manly course which they bur-

Sac. CITY, April 9th, 1854.
FRIEND BoYLEs: am
not surprised that Clayton and the Ahanl-
bra are opposed to me, and desire Walk
ups reelection. There are large num-
ber of people in this State who are ever
occupying positions in the ranks Of the
democratic party, but never had drop of
democratic blood in their veins. They
get these positions because the old sub
stantIal democrats do not attend our prma-
fault. They are generally desperate set
of men, who come into our ranks for the
sake of office, but who having no feeling
in common with our principles take the
first opportunity to stir up division
amongst us. A certain lawyer in Michigan
City is of this class. know his history
from the beginning. He was born and
raised a whig. You recollect his abortive
attempt to get up Miners and Settlers
party last fall. He stumped it in the old
States for the wings, and by the wings,
when quite boy, was made pet of. He
never dreamed that he knew anything
about democracy until certain men whis
pered to him that he might possibly get an
Office IN Placer county. Another of the
same kidney is Mr.. Walkup, my present
colleague in the Senate. These
men, born and raised bitter whigs, will
continue to get into position in the demo-
cratic party, and then will begin to say
that the party goes wrong and they are
right, and that the democratic party does
not know so well what democracy is as
they themselves do, and thus try and di-
vide us in order to let their old friends,
the wings, have show.
Mr.. Carpenter too, know his political
history. And know further, that these
same men have been in receipt of letters
from the leading boilers here below, and
have their orders how to act. 70 such
men can only say, that despise their
duplicity and fear them not.
Truly Yours,
CHAS. A. TUTTLE.
So far as regards the reflections upon
Clayton, we have little to say; but it looks
amusing to an outsider to see Tuttle and
Clayton now working hand and glove to-
gether And then again it is known that
Tuttle is the master spirit among the bo-
gusites. We congratulate them upon
their leader, and the knowledge he pos
sesses of the politicians he is associated

Michigan City Correspondence.

Michigan City Correspondence.
Friend Mitchell, Last evening some
two or three of the "Bogus Democracy"
made "debut" before the inhabitants of
Mad Canon. They began TO " tute their
horn'' about sun down, so that they might
get through in time to address the citizens
of Michigan Bluff at 9 O'Clock, p. m.
When the hour arrived they were on
hand, ready to heal what wounds had
been inflicted on their cause the evening
previous, by large meeting of the regu-
ular Democracy.
Elk deputy sheriff Boust rang the bell
and announced the meeting at the .4lhans-
bra Saloon, in few minutes. He exer-
cised free use of his lungs, calling on
the citizens to ''turn out" but it was no
go. The peal of the bell, as well as the
tone of the ringer become every moment
weaker, till finally it's mournful and mel
anchoIy acceuts died upon the ear.
The eloquent Mr.. Clayton was walking
to and fro in front of the .Alhamabra. pen
sive and sad. At length, putting his hand
to his face and rubbing his eyes, he said
in a tone we can never forget "Gentle-
men, feel too hoarse to address you, to-
night" w Ash.

The Election.

On Wednesday next the people in their
sovereign capacity will have an opportu-
nifty of passing upon the issues now be-
fore them, and that have been raised with
in the year gone by. We have no fears
for the county of Placer, her allegiance to
the cause of democracy is unimpeachable,
and although there are two tickets both
claiming to be of that party, we are salts
fed that as party they will endorse the
one beaded by Denver, Herbert and
Leake. All we desire for our cause is
that the whole truth should be known. 1t
is only misrepresentation that can defeat
us. The factionists are indefatigable in
plotting mischief, and we cannot expect
to have counteracted every thing they
have done.
They have been defeated before the
people, and in their malignant rage have
sworn the ruin of the party. 10 effect
this we find them boiling conventions all
over the State, and hatching up tickets by
which they hope to draw into their sup
port sufficient number of votes to defeat
the regular nominees. They have gotten
up ticket in the county of TuOlumne,
where there was no split or differences in
the county convention, and unblushingly
enter the field without even the poor sub
terfuge Of an excuse.
We appeal to the democracy whether
they will cOuntenance these men, or those
of like stamp, and throw their votes in
favor of the whigs-for every vote given
in favor of Newman & Co., takes one
from the regular democratic vote, and of
course adds that much to the chances of
the wings.
We ask the democracy if they are will
ing to endorse the electionists of last win
ter, as exponents of the principles of the
party in this county? If not, then vote
the regular nominees, stand fast to the
men who have stood by the rights of the
citizen and the principles of the party
Your county ticket is headed by Gray,
Baker, and others, of undOubted worth.
Men, whose interests are with you, whose
characters as citizens are unimpeachable,
against which, throughout this vindictive
party war, nothing has been said-men,
well qualified to fill the stations for which
they have been nominated-men, that the
people may proudly point to as their jew
els.
We ask the party to sustain these men,
and through them, their cherished prnci
piles, in opposition to faction and vindic-
tive treason. See that all vote who have
a right, and suffer no wrong to the ballot
box. Allow no changing of precincts to
hinder your voting, but defeat such machi-
nations by exercising your rights as free
mnn, and all will yet be we'll, and the de-
mocracy of Placer triumphant
The democracy have had several
enthusiastic meetings the past week
in different parts of the county,
The prospect looks cheering and
fattering. All our friends have to
do, is to beware of fraudulent votes.
The ballot box should be kept free
from imposition and fraud.

Democratic Meeting ut OpfEir.
In accordance with q previous notice
the Democrats Of Ophr precinct assem-
bled at the house of L. A. Snahel, Satur
day evening August Goth, and organized
by the appointment of D. B. Curtis,
Chairman, and A. Fuller, Secretary
The Chairman stated the object of the
meeting to be for the purpose of the De-
mocracy of Ophr precinct giving tan
gible expression to their views upon the
political questions of the day, and to hear
speeches from Bronx, Davis and others
Whereupon B B. Davis, d miner: being
loudly called for, came forward and ad-
dressed the meeting for nearly an hour
making one of those plain speeches which
seemed to carry conviction to the mind of
every one that he was but giving an ex
preston TO the honest convictions OF the
heart He exposed the treacherous course
pursued by the Broderick faction toward
the best interest of the State, proved con-
clusIvely that they are opposed to the
national administration Of Franklin Pierce;
expressing his belief that their fea'ty to
the Democratic party depends entirely
upon the cohesive power of official pat
ronage He also deprecated the undue
influences which have been brought to
bear, by some, in ,pervertng and tram
melting the popular will to selfish ends
viewed it as anti-democratic and destruc-
tive of the great purposes of a republican
government, and in cOntraventlOn to the
right of fair expression of the popular
will at the ballot box.
He then turned to the whigs-held that
their foreign policy has always been vas
cilating and without energy orspirit. He
plainly showed that there is no sembance
between the wings Of California and the
States-conveying the idea that they, the
wings, are fast becoming what their great
standard measures have become, obsolete.
Mr.. ID. having resumed his seat, Mr.
Bronx was called upon and addressed the
meeting in one of those good old-fash-
ioned American speeches, which does the
patriot good to listen to. An attempt to
do his speech justice would be futile.
Suffice it to say, it was sound speech,
and made favorable impression upon all
parties.
Mr.. Stafford also was called upon and
made few explanatory remarks upon
the propositions of the regular Committee
(of which II. Mitchell is Chairman) for a
compromise, as being the only just and
true basis-throwing the whole question
back again into the hands of the people.
He showed that it was an established

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
In the last issue of the Placer Democra
some one, as editor, breaks forth in fu
rious TRADE against the requirement Sc
forth by the Democratic Central Commit
tee in their offer TO call new convention
requiring foreigners whose votes shoult
be challenged at the primary election tf
produce naturalization papers as proof o
citizenship.
1t is true the law permits naturallzet
citizen at the polls, at regular election
to substantiate his right to vote ny making
oath to the fact, and this is emiuently JUS
and proper, for the same law authorize:
the officers presiding at the election to ad
minister the oath, thus making 1t binding
Where we ask is there any law, excep
usage of party, authorising conventions oI
the election of delegates to them: anc
what binding force would there be in ar
oath administered at a primary election
held exclusively for party purposes:
We know that a delegate was sent tc
the convention held on the 7th July last
who WAS not a naturaliZed citizeu, and YET
Mr.. futile crept into the convention
upon his proxy.
1t was to guard against recurrence OF
such like frauds, that the clause was IN
troduced in the propositions, and not tor
the purpose of disfranchising any one, as
the Democrat would have people believe.
These bogusites are great fault finders
at this time, wishing to tear down and de-
stroy all party organization, inasmuch as
they cannot succeed themselves. At the
time they set up this howl about naturali
cation papers, they should have told their
patrons and trends that they refused the
representation universally admitted, and
granted by the last county conyennon, to
be due to Iowa Hill, thus disi.anchlsng
both native and foreign votes.
FREEsoILIsM.-We notice by the pro-
ceedings of a bogus meeting, held in
Gold Hill on last Saturday evening, that
Judge Fitzsimmons denies the fact of his
having voted for Martin Van Buren, in
lS4s, in opposition to Gen. Cass. Now
we know there are gentlemen residing in
Auburn who the Judge has informed that
he did vote for Van Buren, in '4S. He is
welcome 10 their names whenever he
chooses to call for them.

MuRDER AND Arson IN ARoosrooK. ME.-Two
persons, James Matthews, and Mary Ann White,
were committed to jail In Holton, Me-, on the 2lsi
ult, the first charged with the murder of Samuel
James. the latter for setting fire to tavern on the
west Aroostook road. The man and woman had been
living together several months. On the Sunday
previous to the arrest the deceased visited Mat
thews camp. and staid with Mary Ann over night
ly. He seized gun, followed after and shot James
through the breast. The wounded man survived
but few hours. Two men who happened to be
passing at the time apprebended Matthews and
Mary Ann, and took them to Hewes tavern While
preparations were making for the examination OF
Matthews, the girl White, stole up into the attic
with some matches. set fire to the house, and came
down. When the fire was discovered, 1t had pro-
crossed so far that it was with much difficulty it
could be extinguished, though there were some
fifteen able men in the house. She was not sus
pected to have participated in the murder, and was
in custody merely as witness.
