The Placer herald., 1856-01-19


duced among our hills. This is cheering,
and we sincerely hope the results will confirm
their anticipations.
WHAT HAVE THEY DoNE?-The Democrats
who assisted the Know-N othings at the late
election, only helped to raise to power the
leaders of the Wing party. Look at the list:
Governor, (Whig)
Comptroller, (Whig.)
Treasurer. (Whig)
State Printer, (Whig)
Legislature. (Whig by two to one)
Speaker, (Whig)
Secretary of State, (Whg)
Private Secretary. (Whig)
Two out of three of the State Prison Di-
rectors, (Whigs)
How long will Democrats permit them
selves to be thus fooled by the X. Ms? We
should think the above state of things would
make them pause and consider whether
Know-N ohingism is not an institution speci-
ally gotten up in this State for the purs
pose Of eevating the whig party to power
The above looks very much like it.
WITHDRAwAL.-A meeting of Mr. Crabb's
friends was held on Sunday evening last, and
he announced to them that he had positively
withdrawn as a candidate for the United
States Senate.
Ex-Gov. Foote, according to the "Union,"
flew the track also for short| time but the
Jockeys managed to get him back again.
There is a screw loose among the K. Ms
somewhere 1t will no doubt develope itself
in time. The next thing they should do, is
to haul off Foote and Marshall They are in
wild chase after the Senatorship, and in pur-
suing the office so closely do not come up to
the profession of the party, that "the office
should seek the man."
THE "Co-HEsIvE Power" woNTs SAVE THEM
The Sacramento Union says there has been
a 'boting disposition manifested by some of
