Grand Whig Rally at the Empire
Mill.

Mr. EDITOR: Dear Strive the here
tofore unterrifrd democracy of Bear River
Precinct, finding ourselves somewhat IN
foo. have concluded to appeal to you for
advice. You see we became somewhat
dumbfusticated by attending whg rat'ti-
cation meeting held at the Empire Mill
last evening, and have not been able to
tell exactly where we stand since. The
meeting when assembled consisted Of
twelve wings, five Of whom were from
Auburn, and nine democrats. The for
mer, including two speakers, chairman,
secretary, and three whose politics were
unknown to us, and it being whig meet
ing of course we had no right to claim
them. After the meeting was called to
order, and chairman and secretary ap-
pointed, MIR. Mi Is was loudly called for,
(so say the minuteS,) and we think it's a
fact, aS we reco lpct hearing one man cali
his name ourselves. The gentleman
pitched right into Mr.. Herbert, giving
him particular jesse for saying the whig
party was in favor Of "A National Bank, Il
high Protective Tariff, and the di>tribu
tion of the proceeds Of the sa es of the
Public Lands, while they were opposed to
the Mexiran War, the annexation of
Texas. and the acquisition Of territory in
an, shape These he said were once
whg principles, hut were so no longer
they having found them inexpedient.-
Now, Mr.. Editor, this is what gets us.
We have always looked upon them as
whig principles, and therefore wish to
know whether they have in reality dis
carded them, or whether the speakers
were only trying to wool us. We can
hardly crt dit the latter, as they looked
and talked like honest men, and told one
truth we know of, that is, that they both
wanted office very much. OF course we
believed that. Both speakers succeeded
in showing us what the whg principles
are NOT, and will probably tell us what
they are at the next meeting. If so you
NAV set us down as "overboard Jim
Peck" and no mistake, unless we can get
some light from our own party.
Your ever faithful,
SOCKEM.

Had our euggestion been coincided in

Had our suggestion been coincidsd in
by the regular central committee, we
would have made it a sine qua non, that
the Bogustes should first haul down the
name of Latham and M'Dougall before
treating with them upon any point Of dit
ference. But the die is cast; they have
seen fit to refuse Il fair proposition for
convention which would have been salts
factory to the democratic masses, and
which would have secured but one ticket
in opposition to the wings, prov,ded, the
Broderickites had not again bolted and
separately organized. They gave no evi-
dence or assurance that they would not.
Well, let them 60. For one, we shall
treat no more with them. The demo-
cratic party is far better without their
corrupting influences, and will be more
elevated and purer with the load of sin
lying at the foot of the hill. The leaders
Of the Bogus faction after the election
will seek retirement, and those who have
been led away 10y their forked tongues
will return to their "first love-"

The Bogusites had call for meeting
at Rattlesnake Bar on Sunday night last.
So few were their number that the De-
mocrats had to furnish them with officers.
Messrs. Clayton, Duell and Fitzsimmons
were the speakers upon the occasion.-
After they had finished, by invitation,
Messrs. Thomas and Bronx spoke, during
their speeches the meeting was considera-
bly, increased by the arrival of persons
who wou d not attend to listen to the re-
marks of the former gentlemen. By OBJ
serving the proceedings published to day
it will be sten that the meeting passed
some strong resolutions. 1t is useless for
the bogus faction to attempt anything at
Rattlesnake, for they can get no quarter

AS the election approaches tn

AS the election approaches the
news floats in upon us of the prepa-
ration of the democracy for the bat
tie. With all the efforts of the wings
and the disorganizing bogusites,
the true democrats of our county
stand firm, conscious of the correct
ness of their principles. Messrs. Ba-
ker, Todd, Bronx are in the field at
work. Wherever they have been the
democracy have given them gener-
Gus reception and promised a full
vote on election day. Next week
Thomas, Johnson, and other gentle
men will join in the canvass. Let
every good democrat aid in the good
work. Our flag has never trailed in
the dust in Placer and if the proper
exertions are used never will. Eve
ry democrat should remember that
his duty calls him forth. You have
not only to fight the wings with their
old and obsolete principles, who are
working in greedy earnestness for
the offices which they conceive to be
within their grasp but to contend
against faction who seem determin-
ed to "rule or ruin" the democratic
party in this county. Whose only
fealty to party is in the stations which
they hold, and the emoluments they
fight to retain. You have a double
duty to perform, see to it that it is
we'll done.

MISUNDERSTANDING"

To such an extent had the bogusltes
soupded these words through the county,
that many of the regular candidates were
induced to believe their professions earn
est, and at the request of majority OF
the nominees, the central committee made
an offer to the Bogusites on the l7th inst,
which will be found on the first page OF
to-day's issue. The first great object to
be attained was to do away and prevent
the causes of difficulties which occurred
in the last county convention. Hence the
proposition that Iowa Hill should have
six deegates-preventing at once all d'f-
ferences and wrangling about the matter
after the convention should convene. 1t
was further proposed that an additional
precinct should he made on the north side
Of the river at Green Valley, from the
fact, if this was not done several hundred
voters would have to walk four miles to
Blue Canon to be present at the primary
election. The south side of the. river
being in Township No. 7, while the north
aide is in No. 4. We also desired to move
the place of holding elections from Eliza
bethtown to Wisconsin Hill, in the same
precinct, allowing it four votes. 1t is
we'll known fact that old Elizabethtown
10 deserted, and that the entire body of the
population is located at the Hill, and the
voters have .rebled since last year. Dead
wood was named as precinct because it
had been established as one, and an eIec-
ton held there last spring for township
officers The democracy of that place
had clear right to be represented in
convention. The Forks House has here
tofore been in Humbug precinct, although
two miles distant and a bad mountain to
descend to reach the place of voting
Hence, for the accommodation of the
voters on the ridge, where the Forks
House is situated, it was proposed to be
made precinct. And for nearly similar
reasons was Sarahsvlle also named.
Had these reasonable and just PROPOSE
tions been acceded to by the Bogus COM
mittee, there would have been no Difficult
" in the call for another convention, for
the regular committee were prepared to
eoncede every other point the Bogusites
proposed But no, they did not wish to
accommodate the people, for they were
fearful of their condemnation. We say
fearful of the people-and we'll they might
be, for had not some of these same Bogus
ties bolted a regular county convention,
and attempted to disorganize the Demo
cratic party by forming bogus ticket,
which has no claim whatever upon the
democracy Of the county! But since they
have decided not to come up to another
convention and receive their just sentence,
we shall patiently wait to see them get it,
in full Of all demands, through the ballot
box in September next

We clip the above from the Mountain

lists" Of El Dorado county are men of
decidedly more discretion than can be
attributed to their friends in Placer. The
action Of the above committee is proper
and right. They were appointed by in
diviluals who seeded from the regular
convention, and it was due the Demo-
cratic party thar they should not act in
capacity to which they were improperly
appointed. The Democrats of Ell Dora
do will undoubtedly prove triumphant at
the next clection-and to place the triumph
of the Democracy of Placer beyond n
doubt, the seceders from our late county
convention should follow the example of
their brethren in Ell Dorado. ID" they
respect the Democratic party enough to
do it,!

Democratic Meeting at Poverty
Bar.

A large and enthusiastic meeting OF the
Democracy Of Poverty Bar was held at
the Empire House on the evening Of the
2Sd of August; Mr. Joseph G. kincad
was called to the chair and J. n Makin>
elected secretary. Mr.. Baker then rose
the pnrty in this county; proving satlsfac-
torily that the Broderick Clique were the
cause of the unhappy dissen>ions which
divided the party, and that the convention
which met and remained in the Court
House on the 7th of July, was the true
Democratic convention, and the faction
who oppose the action of that body Boi-
terS. Mr.. Baker spoke in high terms of
the services and ability of Senator Gwinn,
and resumed his seat amid the applause
Of the assembled Democracy.
Mr.. O'Neil was then called for and ad-
dressed the meeting with his usual ability.
He explained his position and his action
in the last legislature. He stated that he
entered the legislative caucus pledged to
support it's action. and consistently done
so until the legislature adjourned; but,
when he came back to his constituents
and found they were opposed sn the rlec
ton, he lowed to the will Of the majority,
and intended TO do al he rou d to the
support of tie regularly nominated ticket
of the majority convention He gave the
position of the party on national affairs;
appealed to the democrats present to sup
port Denver and Herbert, as Latham and
McDougalI were not before the people
with their own consent, and were not

Convention He told several applicable
anecdotes to illustrate his arguments.
Mr.. Bronx then came forward and
stated that he must he excused from
making much of Il speech, AS he was not
veIl-he would say however, a few words.
He proved that the wings were opposed
To the acquisition of territory from Jetfer-
sons day to the present time; bat that
they could always see the henefit of the
annexation afterwards. He spoke of the
reading of P. w. Thomas and others our

which Mr.. b contended was IA sacrifice ot
principles on the part Of the Broderi'
wing; and if they sacrificed their prnri'

and therefore should not be trusted.
Mr.. Snnth then spoke and gave c. A.
