To-day the Democratic candidates for The Lcgs.
lature held meeting in tina town, and repuAiatcl
the action of the Central Committee which with
drew their names from tho can7ass The proceed.
ings Of the meeting viii be found below, to which
We would call the attention O: our readers It is
unnecessary to say that we cordially endorse the
resolutions, and that they VIII meet the approval Of
every Democrat in the County.
The meeting was occasioned hv q publication
last week in the Al0occte, purporting to emanatc
from the democratic Central Committee. and con.
veying the impression That our ticket was or would
be Withdrawn from the contest. Under this dis
organizing act Of the Committee immense injury
has been done to tho Democratic party. from the
effects Of which il will scarcely recover this fall
We have to congratulate the true Democracy,
however, that our candidates are still in the field
doing battle for the principles they cnunoiated at
the Convention which Nominated th:m, and thev
will continue the fight until the election comes Of
despite every attempt to aeducc them from the true
Democracy bJ !lc Aoarse croakngs Of the weak
and waveging Or by any other means however ski.
fully employed.
When this campaign opened. we nailed our
coiors to the mast head determined not to strike
them until the election came Of, and we have the
proud satisfaction of knowing that those who com.
pose our ticket are strong in the same cause. and
we can assure our friends at homo ard abroad, that
our ticket ID to remain in the field and not be with.
drawn, no matter what may DO said to the con.
trary.
The present struggle Is one for principles. and
principles only. The truo Democracy have no
petty or personal aninosities to ayenge or private
hostility to mete out. AL personal feeling has been
laid aside for the good Of the causo-to preserve
principles held sacred and dear 10 every one who
has the good Of the country and party at heart.
On our banners are inscribed retrcnchment--
Recommendation of fees in ofice--a strict account.
ability Of public officers to the people. and frc.
quens expose Of the affairs Of the County in order
that the people may know their public servants are
capable, honest and faithful.
Up. then. Democrats to the contest The heat
mud burthen of the day is to be borne by you
Falter not by the waysida, but teach those who
would deceive you that you know your rights
and knowing dare maintain them.

II few days The people Of this county will be
called upon to oxefciae one Of the dearest principles
Of flecmen-that Of selecting their public servants
to represent them in the National and State l.egis
lature. And in the exercise Of that privilege. it
beAooycs them to exercza sound discretion. in ur.
der tba: they may make judcicus choice.
Without bias or prejudice we believe that the
ticket ut the head of cur elumnS is far superior 10
thot Of any other in the field and infinitely more 70
than the one which claims TO he Democratic for the
purpose Of throwing the county ino the hands Of
tho Wigs. 1t is with no win boast We make this
claim. as every man acquainted with all the candi.
dates must admit
This being the position Of the ticket, we conf
IDENTIFY call upon the true Democracy to rally in de-
fence OF their principles and ticket, and teach those
who are disturbing our party, that the time has
gone past when disnrganzcrs can seduce the De-.
mocracy from their faith.
The time for reflection is short. The time FOR
action stern. una.nehing action has arrived. The
various tickets are in the field, and we point with
pride to the names which compose the true Deno.
cratic ticket as being in every way superior to that
OF our opponents. and can confidently ask for them
the support Of the people Of Il Dorado county.

The election last approaches. Be active. Rally
your forcos for the conflict The time for petty
wrangling has passed. Give elimination and re.
elimination the go.by until after the election. See
that your tickets are in every Precinct in the hands
of faithful and efficient men. Spare no honorable
means tc elect your ticket. 1t can be done, if the
true Democracy labor faithfully, and let not slight
detection dampen their zeal. Our contest is for
princip iples--not punder. The sibrri Of the custom
house may meet you at every step; but heed them
not. The cohesive power Of spol.' is their only
incentive to action. Teach these swarmng bybrids
at the polls, that you will sustain principle instead
Of bending the neck to the yoke Of the mercenares
who are fattenng at the public crib, and striving
to give direction to the political Affairs OF the
county.

her success. All we want is an open field and fair
