The following telegraph dispatch ag2,aeI
in the California american of SUNDAY morn
ing last:
yolcANo, Oct 25-7l O'Clock. rr
There is at this time, moving through o-
streets, one Of the largest professions Of Ii.
American party that has ever been seen n
the mountains. The enthusiasm in tho n,-r
is unbounded such as never before wiu.,
and inspires confidence throughout tho conn.
ty. Messrs Farley Briggs and Boyd are TO
address the people, and a general good tine
is on hand Set Amador county down n
at least 500 majority for Fillmore.
The X. Ms of Volcano are heartily
ashamed Of the above dispatch, and l.rg 4
Hey sent Il IN he aJere forM This mattel
thcy may settlc between Themselves and ta|
Aacreaa; nevertheless, we have alwavI
known that most Of the Fillmore How.ar|
in the mountains whether 'by telegraph" c
other correspondence, was manufactured oft
Of whole cloth in the Amcricqn Office. Tar
always conclude with the same addonln-
"Sct down - county 500 for Fllmou"-
which latter was net sent in the dispatch
from Volcano.
The meeting spoken Of il the above Ga
patch proved to be a magnificent Know
Nothing Gzzlc, and a grand Democratic J.
umph. The Ki-1i's had their torches aL
all other necessaries prepared for big meet.
Ing, yet their procession numbered not o,g
one hundred persons. 8lessrs. Briggs. Far
ley & Co., with that political "shrowla,a
lor which they are remarkable, brought into
town, Just a. dart, aa3 uNqnaouacd, a Dem
ocratic speaker ~ Jas. H. Hardy, or "o-
Jimn-thiukiag that as the Democracy wolI
be taken by surprise, the X. Ms would hayca
grand triumph over them. Never were ma
more mistaken! The crowd assembled. NJ.
Farley spoke an hour and a half, and va
greeted throughout with distressing atsa-
Jim Hmdy's turn came, ard the Dcmomq
appeared to "come FORTH as il by magic; they
sent up a shout for Hardy" that echoola.I
re-echoed Ike the tlunders Of heaven. jim
made his appearance, and amid the V.-''
enthusiasm administered to the Know Aot'
ings the severest drubbing they ever received
in this part Of the country. His effort "A
truly one Of the most brilliant of tle cam
paign; and tie audience, majority beng
Democrats, sustained him throughout V'A
loud cheers and applause. Per contra; l-'
X. Ms were totally dismayed, and were OIL!
able to force out few sickly and pc''Al

As before stated, the meeting was ~ N'

Congress.

The California Amerioan calls A. B. Dib-
bic a man of "marked ability That will
sound exceedingly ridiculous in the ears Of
those who have heard Mr. d. on the stump.
We know nothing of his character-do not
bring false charges against him as do the OPP
position against the Democratic nominees
but we do know that so far rs intellect is con-
cerned, he is a very weak vessel. In the
halls Of Congress he would be like two
yeaIeold baby in a school room.
UPPER RANcHERIA.- Meeting Of the De-
mocracy Of Upper Rancheria on Monday
evening neXt-the night previous to the cleo
tion. Several able speakers win be present.
Turn out and prepare for the battle of Tues
day.

McKinBEN AND DBBLE-T TUESDAY NIGHT.
The discussion between these gentlemen,
at Volcano passed off pleasantly. MIR Dib-
bic, however, failed to take any position on
any subject; aud before he was half through
bis X. n friends were truly sorry that the
other member Of the irm-Skinker-had
not appeared in his place Mr.. McKibben
took the stand and made one Of the ablest
and most eloquent speeches we have listened
to during the campaign. Indeed, it was very
generally pronounced the ablest speech of
the season. 1t was a triumphant vindcation
Of himself against the ISLANDERS that have
been heapod upon him, and convinced all
who heard him that he is ably qualified to
fill the position to which he aspires. Mr.
McKibben made many votes among those
who heard him.

ocratc majority in that portion Of the State
will literally crush out all opposition

Bushwllaokors.

We beg our X. n. friendsnot to be angry,
but in this contest they ought to be styled
the Busil1haoteys. They have no general
platform; tley dare not take open issue on a
single question that is presented; they keep
dodging and squirming about as though they
were servercy boset by myriads Of hungry
leas. Without meeting tie issues Of the
times, they fight all around the edges-they
are simply bushwhackers"

Be Not Discouraged.
Read the Election Law.

The material portion Of the Election Law is
published on the first page of this paper
Put it in your pocket, and take it to the Polls
" Ask nothing but what is right; and submit
to nothing that is wrong See that every
citizen-of whatever party-has the priyi-
lege of casting his ballot if he has a right to
vote. The enemy mag seek to KEEP OUT
DEMOCRATIC yOTES-if such be the
case, let your rights be maintained. Explain
the law as it is; for it is so clear and com
mon-placo that he that runs may read"
Sec the Votes Countedl
It's the right of the citizen, guaranteed to
him by thelaw, TO be present when the votes
are counted. Let two or three men Of each
party, not members Of the Board Of Election,
