The Fillmore Meeting in Coloma.

The Fillmore meeting, ON Friday night of last
week, one long to be remembered by all parties
The big gun thundered from the hil and the people
came in from every direction, to join in grand de-
monstration in favor of Fillmore and Donelson They
did not by delegations and clubs, urged along
by party leaders to swell the throng but one by one
they plodded along each of his own accord coming
to the aid of the good cause. A procession was
formed, numbering about two hundred persons bear
ing aloft 6ty-wo transparencies and fifty torches
and as it paraded up Piety Hill, to music by the
Pacerville and Coloma Brass Bands, the spectacle
magnfcent-str terror to the hearts of the
opposition, and inspiring friends with new courage
The procession halted in front of the Sierra Neva-
da, where rostrum was erected for speakers. On
the balcony of the hotel seated the ladies, the
Placerville Band, and the Glee Cub-al of which
added interest to the occasion.
DR.. Taylor was called to the chair, and Thos NJ
Reed elected Vice President.
The President introduced to the audience R. N.
Wood, American candidate for Elector. Mr.Wood ad-
dressed the audience in speech Of an hours length
He reviewed Buchanans political career, charged
and proved ultra sectionasm on the Democratic par
", ueilOuQceC Jno NeDraSka Dill as an insult 10 tle
South and an offense to the North, and closed with
an earnest appeal to those who prize the Union above
all else to rally around Filmore-the only candidate
who is not the representative Of any section any
interest of the country against any other section
interest AS he was leaving the stand three hearty
cheers were given for the speaker.
After tune from the Band and song from the
Glee Club,
Bale Peyton was introduced. He made quite
lengthy speech, and was listened to with profound
attention from every one, and from time to time
loudly applauded. Peyton is regular old brick
His speech Was very happy efort-logica, apt and
entertainng-and abounded with the real soul of
wit and humor; and he gave the most lucid explana
nation of the issues growing out of the Nebraska
Bill, that we have yet heard. He retired and was
Justify cheered.
The Band and the Glee Climb again favored the
meeting, and the crowd dispersed after three times
three for Fillmore and Donelson.

MEssRs. EDITORS :-Thos. HI. Williams, ESQ.,, of
Coloma was to address the democracy of this place
on last Saturday evening also, some one from Cold
Springs; but from some unknown cause both Of the
speakers failed to make their appearance-doubtless
from the fact that the last meeting, held one week
ago, was enough to assure them that their services
were not needed. Last Monday evening the Ameri-
can party had a very enthusiastic meeting, which
made the unterrifed very sick They tried to gain
revenge by loudly procaiming, "Wait till next Sat
urday evening when they would show us how to
hold enthusiastic meetings." Well, of their enthus
asm we had fair sample last evening. Fifty-four
persons were present-thirty-one Democrats and
twenty-three Americans-a fine specimen Of Dem
ocratic ratification meeting
The meeting was first addressed by the President
OF the Democratic Club, Mr. Searles. He spoke
about thirty-fve misunderstanding the principles Of
the Democratic, Republican, and American parties.
He tried to show that the American party was sec
tional one, that Mlard Fillmore was good man but
had never done anything very great, and that
quenty he could not be charged with having ever
done anything very wrong. He says: "He is man
whom might feel proud to elect to the white house
sectional candidates. man, who if elected, will
strike the first blow at the dissolution of the Union
He is not the man we want. No, gentlemen, the
man we want is James B. Buchanan" [The first
time that l knew the Democracy were representing
has claims. James B. Buchanan Where did he
come from? What's he been about? have always
understood that James Buchanan was the nominee of
the Democratic party, but it that it is not him,
but different man. Let us see to this, friends of
the Union, and vote for man we do know-our
standard bearer, Milard Fillmore
! Col. Wilson next entertained the meeting. He
spoke about twenty-five minutes Defined his posi-
tion as a Democrat-the only party that he could
look to for support. He said, II am not Know
Nothing, gentlemen, because | never could be. |
was born in a foreign land. l consequently support
James Buchanan for the Presidency All he could
talk about was James Buchanan and the X. N.
party. The Col. is good friend of mine, talented
man, and good speaker-but knowing that he rep
resents the wrong side, of he could not define
his position. He clearly showed that he would be-
long to the American party, he not native of
foreign land. Poor fellow how many have we
amongst us who would willingly do the same, had
they chance The first item that is poked at them
on landing on our shores, is Democracy They are
guled and made to believe that by joining that party
they need not want employment. And were it not
for the foreign influence in the Democratic party, it
would not be known as party. Take from the par
ty those who do not know for whom they are voting
and James Buchanan would not receive the electoral
vote of one solitary State in the Union.

Two news items by this steamer are very unwel-

Read the steamer news in to-day's paper The
American nominees daily gaining strength in the
North. Intelligent Buchanan men in this State
now concede New York to Fillmore. Pennsylvania
can not be carried for Buchanan In Indiana COM
bnation has been formed to defeat Buchanan, which
is equivalent to carrying the State, with its thirteen
votes, for Fillmore. In view of these indications at
the North, what may be expected of the Southern
States? 1t will he borne in mind that before any
nominations had been made for this canvass Mlllard
Fillmore stood higher in the estimation of Southern
in connection with the Presidency. Our Southern
brethren do not desire an administration for the
South as against the North" and the great Union
loving mass could only reluctantly support Buchanan
when that was the only means of nefeatiug Fremont
and averting an administration for the North as
against the South They now have no such alter
natives from which to choose. The conservative men
of the North moving for Fillmore and against all
factions and the South will march in unserried col

Baltimore the 18th of September declared unani-
mously for Fillmore and Donelson, and mass meet

Twenty-Five States were represented in the Conven-

Mr.. BUCHANAN AND THE WAR WITH GREAT BRIT
A1N-The following (says the Louisville Journal is
copied from the Chambersburg (Pa.) Repository and
Transcript newspaper published for more than six
ty years in the county where Mr.. Buchanan was
born. The Sag-Nicht organs may rake up every
thing that their candidate said and did during the
last with Great Britain, and they will find moth
ing but what is perfectly consistent with that most
abominable and horrible old Fourth of July grafton
of his:
The Philadelphia argus reoices that James Buch-
anan was not too much of Federalist to shoulder
his musket and march to the defense of Baltimore in
1914 Ii the ArguS can show that James Buchan-
an ever saw Baltimore that year, we'll deny that
Franklin county gave him birth Mr. Alexander w.
Hood an early friend and neighbor of Mr.. Bucban-
an but at present residing few miles south of this
city, relates, that in August 1874 several volunteer
companies, in response to call for troops, met at
place of rendezvous in Franklin county, Pennsvlva-
na for the purpose Of forming battalion to proceed
in defense of the country to the Canadian frontier
and that James Buchanan, who was member of the
" Mercersburg Volunteer Rife Company" and about
twenty others, backed out and refused to CO. Mr.
Hood remembers the circumstance perfectly, and
heard a number of young men taunt Buchanan for
his coWardice The companies marched off without
Buchanan and this recreant party. Mr.. Hood went
with them, and was at the famous battles of Chippe-
wa and Lundys Lane at the latter of which he re-
ceived bayonet wound in the right side, the honor
able scar Of which he yet bears
So it appears that the Hon. James Buchanan is
not entitled to the credit of being of Batimore's
gallant defenders" but that when called upon to
serve his country in the hour of neeed, he positively
refused, although trained citizen soldier, to take
arms in her defense He has ever been ready to reap
the spos of victory, but never did aught to deserve
them

FAcTs.-Is it not fact, that during the admins
tration of Milard Fillmore the slavery agitation was
quieted?
Is it not fact that the settlement of the slavery
question then made gave universal satisfaction tc
every section of the country-a few aboltionists in
the North, and secessonists in the South alone ex
cepted?
Is it not fact, that at the time Millard Fillmore
vacated the executive chair the whole country was
at peace? Was not every State and Territory in
perfect harmony with each other? Was ever oul
beloved land more honored and respected, both al
home and abroad, than then?
