The Empire County argus., 1855-07-21
Coloma. Saturday Morning, Jolly 81, 1855

ALAcKADAY We have in this County select
knot of politicians who We're last year more distn
guished for impudence than discretion, and welded
to men instead of principles. Their chief was then
their rallying cry, the altar of their se6shnes:
they promised to stand by him, asserting that ar
overwhelming majority of the people were looking
with prayerful eyes to the election of Doctor Gwir
to the U. S. Senate No epithet was left unem
ployed in their wholesale and detailed denunciatior
Of their opponents the vocabulary of billingsgatt
was exhausted in the oft succeeding crushers. This
knot of political wiseacres opened their mouths tC
order in season and out of season, denouncing al
and singular who differed from them as boilers and
traitors.
Now the programme is changed. These same
Democrats par excellence not taking any heed of the
slippery paths they were treading, but feeling Sc
cure in their inflated ignorance, called Convention
and nominated a County ticket and sent delegates
to the State Convention. There they made loud
professions of harmony and manifested great zeal
for principles. In due time John Bigler was nomi-
mated for Governor. Notwithstanding their pure
Democracy they howled then, and have been
gnashing their teeth ever since. BroderickiSm was
thoroughly endorsed by the Democratic party
through the State Convention, and Gov Bigler,
whom this clique have been abusing became the
standard bearer of the party Now these Demo
Gratis who bet their bottom dollar principles and
never bolt regular nominations growl like dogs with
sore ears.
Having been euchred out of the State Printing
and all their favorite candidates except Dr. Kcene
through their own ignorance and culpabe misman-
agement in this County they very properly refuse
all consolation. 1t will now be refreshing specta-
Gle to see the democratic chvalry of FL Dorado
training under the banner of Mr.. Broderick Will
they do it? Most assuredy they will Their fa-
vorite motto is, 'every thing for principle, nothing
for men," Of course the loss of State Printing
make no difference with them. Then their favore
the distinguished Senator from El Dorado, Doctor
Kcene, is q candidate His services, particularly in
the last State Convention, and his great love for
Gov. Bigler entitle him especially to ardent sup
pert.
1t is amusing to see the iacllitySSlth which these
patriots go prospecting after arguments in support
of Bigler; many are unable to fud the color, but
occasionally q fortunate hunter finds a nugget in
Jne shape OF ran WHICH releNS HIS Zedl
ly, but the awful pucker of their mouths when they
attempt to cheer for Broderck is excruciating, their
hollow and week voices betokening quick consump-
ton. Now if there is any truth in their profess
sions of principle and harmony let the Gwinites
hurrah for Broderick and Bigler, let the McDougal-
ties, Lathamitcs and Washingtontes forget old
difficulties and come up manfully to the help of the
Gwinites forgetting Nebraska and Kansas and unite
in grand chorus of prolonged cheers for the
State Ticket nominated. Don't "hang your harp
on the willows" gentlemen, be of good cheer, the
chivalry can bend the knee to Tammany and train
in the rear ranks Submission to the leadership
and rule of Broderckism will prove the sincerity of
your professions, You have been whipped in fair
fight as you ought to have been, now stop private
snivelling over your defeat; if you do not Sam
will whip you into good conduct with vengeance
Salt River is refreshing place, it is said Broder-
icksm went up there last fall to recruit and re-
turned hale and hearty. The Gwinocracy had
better go, and may, if they will furnish their own
boats and work their own passage. The BrOder-
ickites perhaps, will consent to take cabin tickets
and from the overowing liberality of their hearts,
pour the oil and wine of consolation the disap-
pointed spirits of their servants.
