The Empire County argus., 1855-09-01

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That w. M.
Gwin visited Placerville on the 10th of August
and filled up the vacancies in the County Demo-
cratic Ticket with his own plant TOOLS in order to
secure the vote of Ell Dorado county in the Legis-
lative delegation for himself for United States SEN
ator.
Remember, That the wire-pulers of this County
protesting to be Democratic, have repudiated the
nominations made by the people assembled in Con-
vention on the 23d of June, by pushing off a por-
ton of the nominees and inserting other names in
the ticket without authority from the Convention.
Remember, That the game being played in
this county by the selfstyled Democracy is one of
fraud portion Of the party professedly endorsing
their nominations of State officers while they have
avowed their intention of boiling John Bigler be-
cause they deem his success prejudicial to their
schemes.
Remember, That the spurious Democratic party
of this State is not National in its character, but
composed of rival and hostile factions who have
agreed to unite temporarily to secure Office among
themselves and to quarrel about the succession to
Senatorial honors afterward. The professed har-
mony now existing is blind Broderick and Gwin
intend to fight for Senatorial honors after the fifth
of September.
Remember, That the present organization of the
Democratic party of this State is abolitionzed by
its endorsement of the administration of Franklin
Pierce, which appointed early in its commencement
abolitionists and free soilers to Office throughout
the Northern States who continue to hold office
under the administration to the present time, as
Witness John Cochrane naval officer of the port of
New York, who was a member of the Buffalo Con-
vention of 4S, and Heman J Redfeld, collector of
the port of New York, who was Van Buren free
soiler in '48, and Thomas j. Hoyne of Illinois, who
was Van Buren elector in '4S, and appointed to
Office over the head of Cass elector who was an
applicant for the same Office Hundreds of others
might be named, but the foregoing is enough to
show the tendency and aim of the abolition and
disunion character of the Administration, composed
as it is the cabinet ITSELF of free soers and seces
sionists
Remember, That the American party is National
in its character dscountenancing dsunien, faction
al and sectional jealousies in every State in the
Union, and is supported and approved by such pat
riots as Cass Dickinson, Foote and others, well
by the bone and sinew of the nation.
Be it known That the American party is in favor
of the largest and most unqualified religious toera-
tion-of free schools and the elevation and univer
sal education of all industrial classes and the firm
supporter of the most enlarged system of internal
Improvements, securing to this State increased fa-
cilites of communication-th immediate construc-
ton of an inter- oceanic railway.
The American party is now opposed, and ever
will be hostile, to such outrageous disunion senti-
ments as those expressed by Senator Weller in San
Francisco in $780, when he declared himself ''in
tavor of seizing the Custom House Treasury of pull
ling dosn the Stars and Stripes that uere then float
ing orer them, and cutting loose from the General
Government ~ This man who uttered such trea-
sonable doctrine is now perambulating the State
preaching against the doctrine that "Americans
should rule America"
Keep it before the people, That B. F. Keene voted
for the $1,000 law in the last session of the Legis
lature making himself preferred creditor of the
State, and appropriating money to pay for his SER
vices before they were rendered, when others, older
creditors than himself, were precluded thereby
from obtaining payment of their just demands, and
that he again voted tor this odlous S1 ,OOO law In
opposition to the veto of the Governor, whom he
then opposed but now processes to support.
Keep 1t before the people, That Denver Co. are
opposed to the reduction of fees in office, and are
supporters of the swapping league" who overturn
the doings of conventions in this county and set
themselves up as objects of admiration and support
without the consent and without the direction of
any convention of the people, being in effect self
nominated without the knowledge or consent of
any party composed of the people, being determin-
ed to be everlastingly In Office if possible, being
greatly encouraged in those aspirations by Cover
nor Bigler who goes i'll for a third term.
Gen. Cass KnOwnOthing.
The last brilliant acquisition of the American
Party is the name of General Cass--Which is now
