The Placer herald., 1856-03-01

"Fye, thou art churl; you have got humour
there
Does not become a man, It's much to blame
They say, my lords that ira f,rOr breri est;
But yond mans ever angry.
Go, let him have table by himself;
For he does neither affect company
Nor is he fit for it, indeed"
Meekness does not seem to form one of the
distinctive virtues of the presiding genius Of
the Placer Press. True the editor has not
at this time any very brilliant prospects for
his party and political friends to grow jolly
over, but certainly the example of the illus
trious Mark Tapley should sustain our Ame
.rican friend under prospects as gloomy as
the present. The last issue of that paper
exhibits degree Of irratibility, quite shocking
to the nerves. One would suppose the gentle
man had been living upon crab-appes and
sour grapes for the week previous, and that
his only drink had been lemon juice. His
heavy Lancaster gun was loaded to the muz-
zle and turned loose upon the Herald's leader
Of the 10th ultimo.
"Ingrattude is abhorred by God and man.
Let it be remembered that in that very
issue, we threw ourselves between him and
the Nevada Journal fully resolved to shield
him from hurt and harm, or gloriously perish
in the attempt He pushes the quarrel as far as
Touchstone's reply chulish. That is to say,
he discredits our Judgment, and therein he
wounds our vanity. Nay more, he insists
that we exhibit degree of positive assurance
amounting to cheeh-that we are but echoing
back the worn out and hackned notes of some
Of the leading journals of this State. If it
were not for an extract which he makes from
our leader we should be inclined to under
rate our powers Of composition, but since
this fragment has found place in the Press
and received the commentator of its editor,
without doubt we shall hereafter rank with
the classics.
There is however an aphorism which mars
the picture of fame, passing over it like the
shadow Of death-it is possible the gentle
man may have heard it betore-"a bad en-
dorsement sometimes destroys the credit Of
a good note If the friends of Mr.. Stowe
did not vote for Gov Foote, it would be
quite difficult to say who did nominate him,
and if there is in fact to be no organization
in this State partaking of the qualities of
Black Republicanism we shall be quite as
well satisfied as the Press
The advertisement quoted from the Tri-
b0ae may be evidence of vitality among the
X. Ms, but to our mind it seems like an old
ruse, to keep the flag flying after the be-
sieged have silently abandoned their defenses.
The fact is, neighhor, we didn't write that
piece to please you, and don't expect you
will find much consolation in any of our
having politics for theme.
The 'convictons for murder do not seem
to suit him. He is vexed because Cora was
not convicted, displeased because Graham
and Hoepl;in have been and are soon to be ex-
ecutcd and mad because Roberts has been
convicted and not hanged. lie will never

Plains dividing the county so as to arrange
their school districts, and literally demolshcs
all the stars and staresses that have ever ap-
