The weekly Placer herald., 1854-05-06


fngton has been elected Mayor; Clark,
Marshal; Keeler, Harbor M aster; Waugh
an, Treasurer, and Peyton, Assessor
For Aldermen, the Wards stand thus:
First Ward-Baggs, Bours, Greenly
and Fisher.
Second Ward-Morrs, Sarles and Mil
ler
Third Ward-Keyes, Harris and Fair
banks.
Of the above number, Messrs. Bours
and Fisher in the lst Ward, are the only
Democrats elected.
The San Joaquin Republican (demo-
cratlc) IN commenting upon this result,
holds the following language
"We are whipped horse, foot, and dra-
goons.' There is no doubt about it
There is no way of getting out of it
The Democratic party of this city was
yesterday completely foored. The whig
party is dead'-eh? You had better be
lieve that such is not the case much bet
ter. The whigs--every man of them
worked as earnestly as the old fellow did
who dislocated the jaws ofthe lion. They
expended their money freely on their un-
holy cause; their organization was almost
perfect; and they were united. Would
to God we could say the same of the
Democrats.
''lt is well to put the plain, naked facts
of the case before the Democracy, for
somebody has to be responsible for this
defeat, whether that defeat has been oc-
casioned by the inaction of some, or the
actiue opposition of other Democrats. -
There is no dodging this fact, either.
No sensible man can doubt that there is a
clear Democratic majority in this civ,
for the proceeding elections proves that
such is the case. We have done all we
could to support the ticket-yet somebody
is to blame.
! "rhe result is unaccountable. The
wings had not even a newspaper to ad :
vocate their cause This is by no means
complimentary to the press but so it is.
They must be better off without news
paper than with one.
"What is to be done? Let US prepare
forthwith for the fall campaign. Let us
90 early to work to retrieve our loss. -
Let those Democrats who were silent
Yesterday awake, for themselves are in
danger Let us harnonze and resolve to
conquer next time"
The FACE OF LOUIS NApoLEoN.-The
face, in appearance so motionless and IN
sensible, is but the mask Of the man With
in, ardent and powerful. Those eyes are
dull, but are profound as the thought in
which they dive, and which rises at times
, in their orbits as the flames fses from the
{ hearth whence it derives its fire. That
brow is gloomy as fate, but expansive as
creative genius. Those lips are coIorless,
but full Of expressment, delicacy turned, /,
severed; scarcely sufficient parting, and
| open just to allow the cut and precise ex-
preston of will emanating from deep
reflection, and inexordinary resolved
That voice is ndolent and drawing, but
shows itself is but the excess of that con-
fdence. Courage concealed by timidity-
resolution disguised by gentleness-in-
fexibiity softened by mldness-polcy
hidden by good nature-lfe under mar
hle--fre under ashes; in word. some
thing partaking of Augustus and of Titus,
but with the face of Werther, that type
/, of German sentimentality. Such does
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte appear.
