The Two Committees and tsae
COMPROMISE.

Compromise.
For some time past we have been aware
of scheme of the Broderickites, to work
disaffection in the ranks ofthe Democracy,
by busily circulating slanderous reports in
relation to certain prominent gentlemen,
who havesall along been opposing their
nefarious schemes against the sovereignty
of the people. Busy officials have tra-
versed the length and breadth of the coun-
ty, with specious story of compromises.
offered and rejected, of bold assertions
uttered by members of the. Democracy,
that the party should be defeated the
coming fall, if money and industry could
produce such result.
Even Broderickized Wings have been
called into the service, and with staff in
hand have made pilgrimages to the most
remote corners, and with their mouths
filled with galvanized Democracy, held
forth most eloquently upon this question
of compromise. The Placer Democrat,
established by the friends of MIR. Brode-
rick, for the purpose of publishing to the
world true democracy, in indlstnct CUTIE
raj notes, intmates that there is some
thing very wrong in our position, and that
the Editor thereof has an eye single to
the harmonzng of the Democracy, and
bringing again into his fold, all the prod
igal children of the faith What this un-
pardonable sin on our part may be, he has
heretofore left to the Imagination, but as
we have taken strong ground against the
,,I ;oL, b.
only prominent question that has been be-
fore the people since we enrolled the
Placer Herald in the list of democratic
papers, we are left to presume 1t must be
that.
These famous patriots make the Sena-
toral question the issue until they find the
people almost en- masSe opposed to them,
and then they would fen discard it, and
pronounce the opposers of the measure
.disorganizers and boilers from the demo-
cratic barty. How do they attempt to
prove ths' Why say they, a member of
this famous committee, which our neigh
Dor has nailed to his mast head, protfered
the chairman of the old central committee,
that their committee would resign if the
old one would, and call convention TO
elect new one, and that the naughty
chairman Of the old committee refused
the terms offered, wherefore say they, it
must be apparent TO every one that his
only object, and that of his friends, is to
divide, distract, defeat and ruin the dem
ocratc party in this county.
Thus with false insinuation and Shiny
slander, these specious democrats wind
themselves into the confidence of the un-
wary-but, a short review of the move
ments of this faction in this county will
be sufficient to set the most unohservant
correct in his opinions. At the regular
Democratic Convention held on the SOth
of July, 1853, in Auburn, IL central com
mittee was elected, to serve until the en-
suing regular nominating convention
should convene in 1854, which is substan-
TALLY the same as we have now at the
head of our coulmns. During the can
vass Of '59, and subsequent to the ap-
pointment of the committee, meeting of
the same was called and p w. Thomas
was elected chairman without dissent
ing voice. All went eon very well the
election passed and Mr.. Bigler was again
returned to the gubernatoral chair-until
new light begin to break in upon the
vision of certain gentlemen. 1t was as
Ceftdlneu tndL Ine eIectIOn OF 4. Cnlteu
States Senator, during the he'legisative ses-
sion of 1854, "was one of the legitimate
avails of the late contest" and forthwith
these crafty men essayed to accomplish it.
Conscious that this monstrous design
would shock the honesty of every true
citizen, it was thought best to break the
ice as gently as possible, by the passage
of resolution in one of the mountain |
counties favorable to the measure, and |
very mistakingly calculating upon the
gulabilty of Placer, she was made the un-
fortunate victim. In order to corral the
people for this purpose, call was made
by some of the members of the Central
Committee, who without any meeting
among themselves for that purpose, were
induced by busy outsiders, to call upon
the people to meet in convention on the |
18th of November, 1853, for the purpose,
says the placard, of "purifying the Com
mittee," and removing therefrom bolters
1sshould there be any such" on the Com
yniitee Like the famous address of the
.Broderickites at Benicia, this notice plum
