migratory political aspirants, was posted on

ment entire, names and all, in order that
the Democracy may mark the Traitors, who
are engaged in the dirty work of introduc-
ing discord and division into our ranks
Read the document, and then meet the false
assertions of these dcfcated delegates, with
one universal hiss of scorn." Here tits:
Mass MEETING. The undersigned take
this opportunity to state, that IN their oPm-
ion, the election of delegates held on Wednes-
day, Aug. 10th, was fraudulent, and there
fore void, because,
1st, 1t was we'll understood and so deter
mined, that the question or issue Of Nlgl-
lance or anti-Nigilance should not be rnised;
that men should be selected to represent
you in County Convention without reference
to that question; men we'll tried in the Dem
acratic party, and who have been found
true and faithful to its principles; that con-
trary so such understanding and determina-
ton, the question of Vigilance and antia
Vigilance was secretly made the test OF quail
ifcation for delegates.
I'd, That men were brought into said elec-
ton from the highways aad by ways Of the
enemies of Democracy, who voted at eaId
election, whose politics we're entirely un
known, among whom we believe there was
large number not democrats.
sd. That more than one delegate elected
at said election Is not democrat, nor has
been for the last two years.
4th, That we believe the delegates elected
entertain sentiments entirely hostile to a
majority Of the democratic party of this pre-
Cfnct.
9Th, That the Caucus was packed, abso-
lutely and completely, by forestaling its free
and Independent action.
IN view of the foregoing facts, we invite
the Democratic electors TO attend Caucus
to be held this, Friday evening, Aug. 22nd,
at the U. S. Hotel, at O'Clock, p. NJ, for
the purpose of eccting delegates to the Co.
Convention.

1T is we'll understood and determined"
they state what is not true, when they say
that "Vigilance and Vigilance was Sc
cretly made the test of qualification of dele
gates" as three Of the delegates elected are
known to sympathise With the Vigilance
Committee, and others had never been ques-
toned upon that issue, whilst one Of the del
egates positively declares that he will not
vote for law and order man under any
circumstances.
"It is well understood and determined"
that they state what is not true, when they
for the proceedings of the Caucus were par
ticipated in and received the full sanction of
the fe-leader of the Elunkeys, x-Hon.
Seneca Ever Mr.. Ever made the motion
to proceed to the election of delegates by
ballot. Mr.. Ever was appointed one of the
tellers-witnessed the ballotings and count
it was found that there were two delegates
who had not received a majority Of the votes
cast, it was upon Mr.. Ewer's motion, that
the two highest were declared unanimously
elected. Every thing was conducted in, the
most open and fair manner, and the only
objection these Flunkeys can truthfully
urge is, that they were defeated, aud there
fore, the election was ".frauduient."
cit is we'll understood and determined" !"
that these Flunkeys, have been ",ceH.hied"
and are now about to be executed
"It is well understood and determined"
that these Flunkeys have no right to talk
about men who are ''true and faithful' to
the principles Of democracy, when they bolt
front he well established usages and Gus
toms Of the party, and refuse to be governed
by majority, honestly and fairly express
They assert what is not true, when they
say, that men were brought in from the "By-
ways of the enemies of Democracy" as they
well knew when they signed their names to
this assertion
They assert what is not true when they
say, THAT more than one delegate elect, is
not a democrat, nor has been :or the last
two years." as there is not single delegate
On the list Who voted against the Democracy

to, are both members-Ot the Oroville Buchan-
an Club, and both hold important positions
in that organization.
