The weekly Placer herald., 1854-02-11
The State Journal and the De-
moe, acY Of Placer.

moe acy Of Placer.
The State Journal in its issue of the
7th inst, has various articles in its COL
umns in relation to the ''poor devoted
Democracy Of Placer" From the man
ner in which the Placer Herald is pitched
into, one would suppose that the sap'ent
editor of the Journal had been pinched.
That consistent sheet is crowded with IA
lugubrous account of the misdeeds of the
little paper printed in the town of Auburn.
BY the Journals ticle we are led to think
the Herald has been guilty ofall the crimes
in the political calendar, and that the
Journal is an honest sheet and as "pure rs
an angel of light" That it never knew
anything but Democracy-and Uould'nt
for anything short of-the State Print
ing.
We have but little space or time TO de-
vote TO the lamentations and reflections
of the Journal That sheet may go on
with it's abuse of the Democracy Of a.
Ger county-it may derde and npbrald,
cast its sIurs and epithets, and do Il ! it
can to bring our intelligent and re liable
democrats into disrepute-we shall say
but little to prevent it, Neither shall we
exert ourself much IT, disabuse the mind
of tie Journal in regard to the feelings
and sentiments of the Democracy of this
county; for we well know that the time
is coming when that sheet will be con-
vinced "against it's will" And convinced,
too; that the Placer Herald is not only
Democratic, but that it is sustained and
recognised as such by the Democratic
party Of Placer county.
You, Mr.. Journal, sit in your sane
tum, in your easy chair, and receive Gre
liable" information that the Herald is not
recognised as Democratic paper in this
county. We well know the source from
which your information comes. We are
glad that you are satisfied with it. No
doubt they told you that Placer was a
sterling Democratic county-thls is true;
and that they, your "relable" informers,
were the head and front Of it, and that
upon all important questions they could
carry the county as they saw fit, and give
expression to the party. Poor easy soul T!
here they deceived you most egregiou~ly.
You have been led to think all this; and
yet when you most need the action and
power of your "reiable" informers, the
voice Of the people annihlates all their
pretended influence, and they sink into
insignfcance before an indignant people,
whose constitutional rights you would
sacrifice for the sake Of getting the ruu-
lie printing. If you could succeed in
bringing on the election this winter, then,
psrhaps, you might be remunerated in
this way for aiding to deprive the people
of their rights-remunerated as freely as
you are now with the curses Of the citi-
zens Of Sacramento, who have been kept
out of the capital by your peculiar com
blnatons. Alas, poor Mr.. Journal! can't
you get your "reliabIe" informers to come
10 your rescue? Indeed, you are in pit
liable plight. The Placer Herald, OBJ
steperous sheet! still continues TO keep the
Democratic Committee at the head Of its
columns, and refuses TO recognise the ac
ton of twentythree men who have been
the laughing stock Of the whole county
since the 18th Of November last. 1t will
persist in opposing our cherished scheme
of electing United States Senator this
winter; and it has developed how we
agreed our members shou d vote for Brod-
erick, provided his friends would vote for
Sacramento for the capital, and thus the
people in the mountains got disgusted at
US, and their representatives wouldn't
vote for our city because we had made an
ianocent trade. On, sac'e! what shall we
dol our own people swear at US for
cheating them out Of the capital, and
there il no chance for the election to soine
