A MIxruRE-A gentleman who attended
the Democratic meeting on Saturday even
ING last, being asked to describe it, said that
all he saw was "a German band, playing
Yankee tunes on French instruments, to an
Irish audience" Shasta Republican, (Hnow
Nothing paper.)

Democratic meetings throughout the State.
The only thing that would induce the Ger
mans to come out to one OF these Dronedary
meetings, is the money they Get for playing
these Yankee tunes"-S. +. Pathfnder-
BLACK Republican poper)
The above extracts show in what light
the Know Nothings and Black Republicans
view our foreign born citizens. The Editor
of the Pathfinder, Black Republican paper
printed in San Francisco says that the only
thing that would induce the Germans to turn
out to a Democratic Meeting, would be pay
for playing Yankee tunes" The dirty cur
who penned the above sIander knew he was
Icing when he done so. Our German pop
uation is composed of estimable, industrious
citizens and because they are honestly in
favor of Democracy is no reason why they
should be so foully sandered by the Bla k
Republican Abolition press.
That obnoxious circular which the Press
says was served upon the Post master at
Orc city, seems to give the editors tender
good enough to inform his readers what has
become of all the money that was paid into
the X. Ms last year throughout their Coun-
ellis and elsewhere, for limitations, degrees,
and such like humbugs; did that money buy
any body or build any ballot boxes!
Tall al H. WAX
has been taxed for the Editors private ex-
penses in going abont eectioneering and in
connection herewith what amounts the Sher
ifs Office and the other incumbents Of this
County, have bed for the purpose Of carry
ing on the war. These are matters it is true
that the public care but little about, but since
You have brought tie matter up, a fair ex-
pose would be just.
Some people are mighty easy soM what
roorback will the Press fall into next?
LOGICAL REAsoNING.-The Prees in an
article intended no doubt to be crusher
answers the accusation made against Mr.
Henson, for charge Of $l129,0O in regard
to matter not provided for by any fee bill
that We know Of by publishing an account
rendered by Sheriff Astin, as the Press says
for services in the Iowa Hill muss." He as
sumes that S. G. Astin did wrong and there
fore Mr.. Henson is justified in doing So
This is like prisoner defending himself
against the charge ofArson upon the ground
Of Burglary. This bill of Mr., Aslin's was
either correct and legal, Or it was not.
If the bill was just and according to law
what is the Press growing about-if it was
illegal and unjust why did X. N. Board of
Supervisors pass it and order it paid out Of
the peoples money. Among the items so
Importantly set forth in this terrible record
as swelling the cost of that unfortunate af
fair, we observe that So 1900 was paid to II.
r. Hawkins Now if the County of Placer
was swindled in that transaction, it was
done through the medium of X. N. Board
of Supervisors, and the Editor of the Press
pocketed a part Of the spoils. Verbum sap.
