FUSION.

Democratic blowers have made themselves exceed
ngly busy of late, trying to create the impression
that the American party of Ell Dorado county had
formed a fusion with the Republican party. On the
heels of these slanderous reports circulated by Dem
ocratic gas-bags, the Ell Dorado County Times Of
Oct. 25th, Republican print, holds the following
language
"But in this county there are those who are play
ing deeper game than appears from the cards.
They are to be looked for among those who are hold
ing Office from the American party, and have year
longer to rum that while making show of adherence
to the party are playing the game into the hands of
the Democracy, and as reward for their treachery
are guaranteed reception at the eleventh hour.
"At this very time the American party are being
gulled by this movement. Men whose only object is
to secure the election of Buchanan and the suprema
cy of the Democratic party, are openly advocating
Fillmore and the American cause, for the sole object
of defeating Fremont.
"We have before alluded to this subject we have
pointed to the action of the American County Con-
vention, the determined and successful efforts of the
tools of Tallmadge & Co. in that Convention, to
throw off, as far as practicable, every honest man
who had previously represented the county in the
Legisature-and why? Because they had in view
and foresaw the sinking of the American party"
Thus it will be seen, that while the Democracy are
splitting their throats about fusion of the American
and Republican parties the organ of the Republican
party comes out and charges the Americans with a
design of going over to the Democratic party-prov
ing clearly that no fusion exists or friendly feel
ings, between the Americans and Republicans. This
is not all. The Democracy having been caught at
every turn Of their vanous Misrepresentation have,
hear, trumped up, in connection WITH and with
the aid of disappointed, vinegar-&ced aspiring
nominee of the Republican party, fresh roorback,
charging the American party with having made ad-
vances to the Republicans for their support This
pitiful yarn is also failure-orginating in the dis
eased brain of Republican asprant for legislative
honors, and Illuminated through Democratic fugemen.
This is done in the teeth of the Republican organ
above quoted, which stamps the whole thing as i'm
probable in the eXtreme-a mere electoneering trick,
81 weak and shabby to do no credit to the brains
of the inventors. The whole thing appears very
much like stop thief operation. The Democracy,
in their chagrin and impotent rage bawl "Fuson with
the Republicans at the American party. The Re
publican party on the other hand, through their Or
gan, charge the American party with design of
going ever to the Democratic party. Now let these
worthless howl on in their agony. The American
party understands its duty and willperform it. No
great smoke can be raised without some fire and the
milk in the cocoanut is that portion of the Demo-
cratic party and Republicans have been and are try
ing to unite their forces, and both with one accord
cry fusion" pro and con at the American party to
conceal their traitorious designs These sectonasts
have no hope of success only by uniting their forces
against the American party The spos of party
are so tempting to the horse-leech Democracy
that they will leave stone unturned to insure sue
cess: Hence the stop-thief howl from the Democra-
cy and Republicans at the American party.
Americans, up and at the traitors. Vote early. Do
your whole duty, like men and patriots. Fillmore
leads the column. Strike for the Union as it is now
and forever.
