Political Meetings.

very PledodnS anu uourlSnlnB Town was
filled with people long before the hour for
speaking arrived. From every gulch and
ravine in the vicinity, from Moore's, VOL
sey's, Snow Point and the bars on the
Middle Yuba came pouring in hundreds of
the sons of the soil and of Sam, to listen
to the inspiring theme Americans should
rule America"
With their accustomed liberality and
urbanity, the Americans rendered an invi-
tation to any speakers of the Phalanx par
ty, to meet them on the stand and discuss
the great issues of the day.
NILES SEARLs, the candidate for Dis
trict Judge, led off in fine speech, which
was received with marked attention, and
elected frequent rounds of applause. If
we mistake not the vote at Orleans Flat
on the 9Th of September will show gen.
erous appreciation of our candidate for
District Judge.
A. A. SARGENT followed in an earnest,
forcible speech of some length, every
word of which cut its way through the un-
derbrush of opposition with telling effect.
His effort, if the manifestations of an au-
dience are a criterion, leftan enduring i'm
preston.
H. NJ. Moore of Moore's Flat, followed
Mr.. Sargent but though he acquitted HIM
self well, it was evident he was not infused
with that true American sentiment which
enlisted the sympathies of the crowd.
| A. b. DIBBLE, on the conclusion of
Moore, was loudly called for, and presen-
ted himself to delighted auditory. Tho
almost completely exhausted with fatigue
from his long ride, for two hours he kept
the multitude enchained with one of the
best efforts at oratory and eloquence, to
which we have listened for many a year.
He certainly won for himself an enviable
reputation as stump orator. The crowd
regarded him as favorite, as was evinced
times without number, by the most enthu-
siastic shouts of applause.
Moore, Sargent and others followed in
sharp, pungent retorts upon each other
Mcfarland made short but telling speech
S. S. Fem closed the exercises with an
energetic effort and the crowd dispersed
with three loud cheers for Sam, at 2
o'clock on Sunday morning
The American party will poll a large
vote at Orleans Flat on the day of elec.
ton, for they have the right sort of boys
there to do their duty and do it WELL
EUREKA.-The staunch Americans oi
this remote town were addressed on Sun
day evening at Temperance Hall, which
was filled to overfowing
Never was their such a gathering before
in Eureka. The Phalanxers were aston
ished. They were not aware that Sam
was so strong in his hitherto Irish commu-
nifty. Dibble addressed the Sans in fine
style, who showed their appreciation Of his
eloquent, convincing, and soul-stirring re-
marks, by the most enthusiastic cheering.
The meeting was also entertained by the
remarks of some of the candidates on the
American Ticket No mistake about it,
the American cause is strong, and grow
ing stronger and stronger every day in
Eureka. 1t is of no use to talk about the
breaking up of the councils in Eureka, and
elsewhere in the mountains. The Amer.
leans will stand by their principles and
party, and no cry or influence of the Pha-
lanxers can ALLEVIATE them
WAsHINGToN.-Alpha, Omega, Gold
Hill, j cfferson, Poor Mans Creek, and
all the bars along the South Yuba emp.
tied themselves of their population on Mon
day last, to hear DR.. Gwinn, Van Voor-
hees, and other Phalanx speakers. But
10, and behold Sam was there, as he i:
every where, and if the cheers given him
on the occasion, demonstrated anything
they prove conclusively, that he numbered
three to one of his opponents. The
"Washington Boys''are the most thorough
going Americans in the State. The prin
ciples OF the party are interviewer into ev
cry fibre of their nature, and infused int
the very marrow Of their bones. They
will do to bet on every time Look ou
for some tall work in Washington and tn
surrounding precincts, on the day of elec
ton. DR.. Gwin delivered a courteou
speech, but it failed to meet with market
appreciation. Van Voorhees, is an oil
stager and did himself justice But whel
Dibble had the stand, the audience wer,
