DIDN'T LIKE TIT was amusing to see the
sorry faces the Know Nothings made over the
split of their National Council at Philadelphia.
1t was hard lick for them; even Speaker
Stow, who was in our town at the time the
news arrived, felt chagrined, and gave vent
to his feelings by declaring "there were al
ways some men who were bound to make
fools of themselves" And then the Catholic
test, sustained by the superiors of the order
was a socdologer. California Know Nothings
have heretofore claimed there was no religi.
Gus test in the Order, but this national plat
form has taken all the wind out of their sails
for we find the grand sachems who assembled
at Philadelphia are after the Catholics with a
sharp stick, and as matter of course the oath.
bound adherents of "Sam" in this State, will
have to fall into line. Gov. Foote tried tc
comfort the poor fellows in this neighborhood
that that religious test was not much after
all, but for all that it appears to be anauseat
ing dose for them to swallow.

Declination of Mr.. Anderson.

By reference to the proceedings of the
County Convention it will be seen that this
gentleman has withdrawn his name from the
canvass as an independent candidate for State
Senator. We are pleased to note this fact,
and congratulate our friend Anderson upon
the happy manner in which he announced his
withdrawal from the field to the Convention
on Saturday last. The decks can now be
cleared for action. Let every democrat feel
the Importance of the coming contestant do
his best. The ticket nominated is an excel
lent one, and is worthy the support of every
citizen Of the county

Col. Walkers Eirht

BY the arrival of the last steamer we havo
received the intelligence of Col Walker and
his companions landing in Nicaragua. Thox
were immediatsly joined by $50 of the libera,
party. The whole force then proceeded to q
point twelve miles above San Juan, which
they reached on the night of the 28th Jpne
and on the 29th had an engagement with Cen
Boska and 600 of the legitimist party. Walk.
er's men were surrounded, and the natives
with him fled, leaving the Americans to cut
their way through, which they accomplished
with the loss of seven men killed, and s;v
wounded. Among the number killed was
Frank Anderson, formerly q resident of tb;.
county. Boska lost nearly . hundred men.
On the morning of the 1st Of July, Walker
and his men embarked at San Juan on board
the schooner San Jose, and came up the coast
for the purpose Of meeting the native forces
of the liberal party.

HUNGRY ExPECTANTs.-The know-nothing
convention at Philadelphia passed = resolu-
tion deprecating the eager and wild hunt after
Office. We certainly think that body had in
view some Of the know-nothing leaders in
California, for hardly week passes of late
but some would be Governor, or would be for
some prominent Office, is around trying to get
the Endorsement of the faithful to the State
Council, which meets ere long. There are no
hungry expectants among the know-nothings,
they are patriots, and would not degrade
themselves by filing public station. Gods,
how hungry the varmints look. From Speak
er Stoves hungry appearance we should judge
the governorship would not be cherry bite
for him. He's not on ''wild hunt" for office,
oh, no! only round seeing his friend "Sam."

Democratic County Convention.

In to-day's issue will be found the proceed
fngs of the County Convention, which reassem
bled at Auburn on Saturday last. We have
heretofore given the platform of this same
Convention when in session some weeks since
Every nominee presented to the Democratic
party endorses it, and will 60 into the cam
paign with an earnest determination to sustain
them before the people.
The present campaign is an important one.
For the first time in the history of our State
the Democracy are called upon to meet an
enemy who in secret has been plotting the
overthrow Of Democratic principles-intend-
ing to plant on their ruins the proscriptive
doctrines of Know Nothingism, which have
long since been condemned by the American
people.
We hope to see all imbued with the impor-
tance of the coming election. 1t is not merely
. contest for men, it is for something noble1
of justice and truth-the right of man tc
govern himself.-Our candidates are placed
before the people as the exponents and de-
PENDANTS of these principles and the repre-
sentatives of great national party, whose
organization is intended, and for which il
continually strives, to engraft deeply and
permanently upon the institutions Of our
country course of policy founded in justice
and upon the equal rights of man. Then let
one and all grid on the armor for the coming
contest. No nobler or more righteous cause
can engage the attention of freemen.

RAIL ROAD MEETING.-The Stocktonians ,,o
stirring in the matter of railroad communic..
tion with the commercial metropolis. The
Republican says that on Wednesday evening
meeting was held of the subscribers to tho
capital stock of proposed railway between
Stockton and the Bay of San Francisco. The
preliminary steps were taken toward making
survey of the road at an early day, and pro.
curing a charter.

REPRESENTATIVE MoRELAND.-This gentle
man was recently engaged in the work of
assisting to get up burlesque meeting
upon the democratic primary convention call
ed for at Strong's Diggings. What dignifed
position the ex-Representative played to-be-
sure. His butfoonery in this little transac-
ton shows him to be quite a man among his
kind.
The weekly Placer herald., 1855-07-21

FATAL DUEL.-A fatal duel was fought at
Downieville on Saturday last, between Robt.
Tevis and DR.. Lippincott, State Senator from
Yuba county, in which the former was shot
through the heart the first fire. The weapons
used were shotguns loaded with bullets; dis
tance, forty PAGES. The unfortunate victim
died almost Immediately, and was buried TEN.
porsrily on the ground.
The weekly Placer herald., 1855-07-21

FAILURE OF CRoPs.-We are informed by
one Of our farming friends from the plains,
that the crop Of wheat will fall short at least
one-half of the anticipated yield, owing to the
rsvages Of the grasshoppers. On piece OF
ground cultivated by Mr.. Dameron last year,
which yielded 600 bushels of grain only pro-
duced yield of 200 this year.

That LITTLE CRCLE.-There were few
only who were the applauders Of Gov. Foote
on Monday evening last, some fifteen or twen-
ty at most, and among them we did not notice
exmembers of the whig party.
The weekly Placer herald., 1855-07-21

AT WoRK-We have been informed the
Know Nothngs are at work, starting their
lodges on the river bars and in the mining
camps throughout the county. Wherever they
can find 9ullable rhen enough to make show
they go to work. The Democracy should be
wide awake. remember ''eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty" Organize your clubs,
have your campfire chats over the democratic
principles which have carried you and your
country thus far in safety. Be on the alert for
the enemy, enter no midnight lodge rooms to
swear away your fealty to your party that
your political opponents may secure your in
huence and votes for their special benefit
For long time they have been in the minori-
ty, failing to impress the people with their
peculiar beliefs they would cajole you into a
Know Nothing lodge and swear away your
independence as freemen. Be not so deceived.
The principles of the Democratic party are
broad enough to support you and all mankind.
Neither are you bound to them by an oath
administered in some darkened chamber, but
embrace and support them as every freeman
should-from just conception of their truth
fulness and their adoption to the wants of
our common country. You are now free from
Know Nothing lodges, remain so. Be free,
and you can act free.
