| "LET THE CALLED JADE VINCE PIT is really
amusing to witness the last throes of the Ell Dorado
Democracy. The creature dies hard-but it thus
gives evidence that its present sinking is the final
dissolution. Its waning star is going out to rekindle
no more-and the followers of Gwin and the satel-
lites of Broderck are taking their last leave of the
political field. They may now bid farewell to the
pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war; and
the big votes that make ambition virtue-their occu-
paton's gone!
The Democracy is troubling the waters just now,
by reports of fusion between the Americans and Re
publicans, on their county ticket Americans, when
they tell you that have fused with any other
party, or that the American party, through the Cen
tra Committee otherwise, ever made overtures to
any other party, with view to fusion, contradict
them in as strong terms as you see ft-for the das-
tards know they lie-ether circulating what they
have themselves invented, or ignorantly doing the
bidding of their masters.
When Democrats cry fusion, ask them who fused
with the Republicans in the city elections last spring
Ask them who elected the Freesoil editor and pro-
prietor of the Democratic State Journal to the Sac
ramento Mayoraty Who elected the Democratic
Republican officers last spring, in Sacramento, Ne
vada and Stockton? Who have fused with the Re-
publicans in Caaveras? When has the American
party of California sacrificed measure OR man at
the shrine of Republicanism? When did it turn to
the right or to the left for availability? Never!
But, they will howl on-the Demooracy-they are
only firing their own lungs. "Our withers are un-
wrung." The American party has never received
any thing but curses from the Democracy, and we
do not expect lavors now. Our course is plan--it
lies over the heads of those who would act as our
censors. Thus far we have been successful in despite
of their wrath-let them now uncork the seventh vial

california Demands a Railroad!"

Cafornians Do you believe that the Democrat
ic party would ever agree to the construction of a
Pacific Railroad by the General Government? What
reason have we to hope for aid from Democratic
administration? Has not that party always stood
arrayed against Internal Improvements by the Gen
eral Government?
James Buchanan nominoted for the Presiden-
cy as an anti-Railroad man. j. L. Brent, one of the
delegates to the Cincinnati Convention, tells the
people of California why he voted against Buchanan
and contrary to Instructions. He says that an exi-
gency arrived "when we were compelled to vote for
Mr.. Buchanan and no Railroad, Or for Railroad
and against Mr.. Buchanan" The California dele
cation so voted-.for a Railroad and against Mr.
Buchanan
| Did not Virginia and Pennsylvania in that Con
vention both vote against Railroad resolution, and
defeat it?
Did not both Virginia and Pennsylvania vote 70,
Buchanan, and nominate him?
Did not the Cincinnati Convention re-adopt the
Oldest plank in the Democratic platform-the resolu
luton in opposition to internal improvements
Does not the platform speak for the Democratic
Convention? Does not Mr. Buchanan say it speaks
for him as we'll?
Who can show word, spoken or written by Mr.
Buchanan in favor of Pacific Railroad?
| Are we to believe that james Buchan, the embodi
ment and impersonation of what remains of the one,
al[potent Democracy which the great jackson ant
the faithful Polk were wont to pit against internal
Improvements, wrote the letter of l7th September
Would man OF Buchanan's standing condescend tt
write letter OF that character, contradictory of his
past course, in violation of his pledges to his party
and send it here, for publication when it was too late
to return it to the Atlantic States before eecton
After the election is over and politics have some
what cooled down. will the Democrats claim the let
ter OF the 18th September for Mr., Buchanan? No
not one of them They will set it down to the &C
count of political trick, and as an excellent sell,
withal.

RuMoRs.-A report has been circulated during the

of Mr.. Carpenter, the Democratic nominee. We

Co1.oMA, Oct. 81, 1856.
MEssRs. EDITORS Mr. William H. Pratt, in a
speech at Georgetown, on Wednesday evening last,
was understood to charge Mr. Tallmadge and myself
with proposing fusion between the Republican and
American parties in this county. Surprised and
indignant that such charge should be made, in COM
pany Mr.. Tallmadge l called on Mr. Pratt and de-
manded its retraction. Mr.. Pratt said his language
had been misconstrued and gave us card contain
ing the following language
81 have not charged Mr.. Wren or Mr.. Tallmadge
with proposing fusion between the American and
the Republican parties, by dropping portion of each
ticket and forming union ticket to be supported by
both parties and no such proposition has been made
by them, to my knowledge"
Thus exonorating us entirely from the charge
We warn the American party against all such re-
ports put in circulation too late to be contradicted
before the election. Vote the straight American
ticket and none other THos. WREN.

JUDGE HALL-The Mountain Democrat alluded
to G. D. Hall in the following Hattering terms in its
issue of April %, 1854:
"On Wednesday last the Senators from this county
drew for the long term of their State Senatorial po-
sitions. Fortunately for Judge Hall, unfortunately
for his constituents for he has knowingly and obst
nately misrepresented them, he drew the long term
The announcement of this fact will be severe disap
pointment to number of the Judges friends, who
were, are and will be exceedingly anxious to have an
opportunity to reward him for his course Services
like his are seldom given gratuitously, and his CRATE
fm constituency are impatient to bestow upon him
proper reward"
You have chance to reward him now. Judge
Hall was rampant Broderickite, which excited the
indignation of the editor of the Democrat. Will Gel
wicks vote for Judge Hall?

ELECTION RErURNs-Will some one attend to it
in each precinct and send the returns early as pos
sibe, to Coloma or Placervie, whichever is most
convenient? 1t is the interest of all to have this
DONE as then the vote of the County can Immediately
be announced and all will have the result laid before
them in Extras
Take ticket of each party, and set opposite the
several names the number of votes received respect
lively, and send to this or one of the Placerve print
ing offices.
1t is in this way will be able to have the result
of the election in the State at an early day. Some
one in each precinct must do his share and all are
gamers by it.

G. D. HALL, is one of the nominees on the Demo-
cratic ticket in this county, for the Assembly The
Mountain Democrat of March 4th 1854, put the fol-
lowing queries to Judge Hall. We give them place
to refresh the memories of Dan and Gavin, hoping
they will both vote straight ticket--a thing not
often done by these worthless Hear the Democrat
catechise Judge Hall:
"And now, Judge for brief reminiscence Did
YOU ever bolt the regular nominee Of the Democratic
party-a nominee made in accordance with the usage
of the Democratic party? Did you ever publish, in
Wh,g paper in this county, over the signature OF
Od Hickory" an insidious article against one of the
Democratic candidates? Did you work day after
day. and night after night, with your Wing friends,
the men you now sneeringly alude to, to defeat a
Democratic nominee? Did you not try to prevail
didate? Did not the Democratic Central Committee
of this county, less than eighteen months ago. over
their own signature and on behalf of the Democratic
party, publish you as traitor to your party?"
Gelwcks then continues in the following bewitch-
ing manner, addressing Judge Hail.
ave know the sentiments of the Democracy of Ell
Dorado and we know that they would vote against
you, almost to man, were you candidate tomor-
row. You are laborng under very pleasing deu-
sion, if you think you can again get their support.
another repentance will not save you. You have
gratutousy and without justification, branded the
purest ablest, staunchest Democrats of the county
with an opprobrious epithet. They generously for
gave you once-your last act has been fatal"

THE REPUBLICAN ORACLE ON JOHN c. FREMONT
The Chronicle says:
"And if politics out of the way, the people Of
this State would throw up their caps as one man. for
John T. Fremont, the explorer pathfinder, conquer
Or and peace-maker of this country"
But just for reminder to the great bone and
sinew of this Golden State, the toing miners, we
would modestly ask leave to add land the man who
while Senator of this State three times within twenty
one days brought in propositions to lay heavy tax
on that hardy class for the support of crew Of In
spectors and agents of the general government"
Miners that is the man you are asked to vote for
bear it in mind; keep it before you; forget not
when the day comes to cast your votes that John C.
Fremont would lay tax on the sweat of your
brows.
Again continues the Chronicle:
"The Convention that placed him in nomination for
the Presidency is acknowledged to have been one of
the most talented and patriotic that ever assembled
for any similar purpose
But we ask who was John p Hale ? was he one
of that patriotic Convention? He showed his patri-
otism by denouncing the continuation of the Union,
under any other than the Fremont party San Fran

GRANITE HILL, Oct. 26, 1856
MEssRs. EDITORS One more week will decide
who is to be the ruler of the great American people
for the next four years. We have heard the admir-
ers OF Fremont, Buchanan and Fillmore for the last
three months discuss the platforms on which they
stand and now ask can any sensible man, who has
the good of his country at heart vote for John G.
fremont? Elect him to the chief magstracy of the
ha'ion ana 'he first blow is given towards the dsso-
luton OF the Union. Can any man who has the
Union at heart vote for James Buchanan? What
vote for man who tells you he is "no longer James
Buchanan" but the representative of the Democratic
party? 1t is very evident from his own lanouoce
that he will not support the Union, but the Demo.
cratic party. This language would do were the De-
mocracy occupying the same position they did in tb.
days of Thomas Jefferson; but any man can see with
his eyes half open that the party as it now stands ia
sectional one; and will you, Democrats of Ell Do
rado cast your vote for men who occupy the posi-
tons that do Fremont and Buchanan? On the other
hand, we have man who has shown himself TO be
Union man-and sin union there is strength"
Millard Fillmore tells you he knows no North no
South, no East no West In him we find n man
suited to quell the storm now bursting upon the
Union who if elected will again set right as did the
immortal Clay and Webster, the Union and the Con-
sttution.
Miners of Ell Dorado county, you have before you
three County Tickets. One composed of broken
down Office seekers and party hacks; one of lawyers
and turn-coats; and another, of CALIFORNIA; fayorite
sons, the miners. Your claims should and must be
represented in Ell Dorado county, and who can do it
more to your benefit and satisfaction, than your
brother miners? Of such men is the American tick
ct composed. Do not look to party but to men
vote for your own hardy associates and your claims
will be represented in the Legislature of 1857.

A FEW HOME TRUTHS NOT IN THE REPUBLICAN
PLATFoRM-'The following says the San Francisco
Globe, is from private letter from gentleman resid
ing at Providence, R. I.
"My opinion is that Fremont is a rash, mutinous,
unsafe and inexperienced young man. 1 say mutin-
Gus, because his life has been life of mutny and re-
sistance to established authority. He could not get
through college without expulsion He could not
get married without an elopement He could net
serve in the Senate seventeen days without fg t
with a brother Senator for words spoken in debate |!
He could not be officer in the army without being
court martiaed and found guilty of mutiny and dis
obedience of orders. really believe that he could
be elected his administration controlled as it would
be by George Law, Wall street, and Thurlow Weed,
it would be the most corrupt ever known upon the

GEORGETOWN, Oct. 90 1856.
MEssRs. EDITORS Quite an excitement exists in
town between the different parties. Bets are made
freely on nearly every side-which would indicate
that all parties feel sure of success though all cannot
win but two out of the three must be defeated. 1t
is no matter of surprise to gentlemen outsiders
betting but for one let me make the inquiry whch-
er it looks very well for candidate to bet on his own
election? am persuaded that it shows want of
modesy at least, on the part of the individual, and
raises question in the minds of those who are NOR
ally opposed to gambling whether such persons are
suitable to administer the laws or assist in making
them. The people ought to, and will see to these
questions, in making their selections.
Political talk and political meetings, are all the
go. But few more days will dry up the hateful
subject, and then we may be able to make some re-
port from the mines, and other matters of interest to
the State There is already enough water for mining,
and the people will settle down to work. after the 4th
of November. am told that McCaum met the
young hedgling Thomas H. Williams, ESQ.,, the
young High Priest of Democracy, last Monday night
at Spanish Flat, and literally used him up He
plead ignorance to the administration of the State
government, and was far from defending the Pierce
dynasty. 1t is said, however, that he succeeded well
in drilling or giving signs to the gentlemen who did
not understand English we'll when to stamp and halloo
but he and his stampers all mstook the stamping
point. lie made one favorable admission for Fill
more-though 10 doubt unintentionally. 1t was
this that Fillmore stood just about as much chance
of being elected President, Black Republican
did of getting to Heaven He certainly does not be-
lieve that all the Black Republicans will be damned !
if so where will the dromedaries go? A gloomy
picture, indeed. 1t proves that Fillmore has ninety
nine chances in hundred of being elected President
