TO The DEMOCRACY OF PLACER
c0IINTY.

1t having been circulated in various
parts of this County, that in the year
1855, | offered to publish Know Moth
ing paper at Iowa Hill, take this meth
cd Of pronouncing the report falsehood
and a slander. This contemplate
charge was made against me by the
Nothings just on the eve of the
last Annual Election. | considered it
mere electioneering clap-trap at the time
and did not therefore notice it, The
falsehood, however, was reiterated by
Know-No. hing member to the Legis-
lature from this county, through the
columns of the "Piacer Press" on the
lst of December, 1855; the following
week. editorially, through the columns
of the "Placer Herald" pronounced 1t
"a KNOWN Nothing lie;" after which, the
report slept until within few weeks
ago, when it again appears to have been
revived, for the purpose of injuring me
with my political friends. When |
found such was the case, applied to
VIM. A. Housed Esq, (who was CONVEX
SAINT with all my intentions in regard to
starting paper at the Hill,) who sent
me the following letter, which fully ex-
plains my connection in the paper pro-
ject, and contains the only offer | ever
made in regard to the character of the
paper contemplated to be published at
that place.

AUBURN, september 4ln, Io0O.
Mr.. ANDERSON, Editor Placer Herald:
Not being willing to be placed in false position
or to have my frienhs so, through my name, wish
to correct the report which has been put in crcu-
ation--'' that if Mr.. Mitchell is elected County
Clerk, he is pledged to make me his Deputy"
This is false, ahd the man who circulated such a
report. did great injustice to Mr. Mitchell am
personally his friend, and this consideration, with
his we'll known zeal in behalf of the Democratic
party, has induced me to favor his nomination.
Yours, &c, WIN. A. JOHNSON.

Eg~ The American party-so caled-met
in convention on the ID inst. BY extra ex-
ertions, and through the double-delegat
system, they managed to get quite respect
able convention, in point of numbers
Their vindictive feelings towards those
who have had the independence to leave
their ranks within the past twelve months,
burst forth at the very outset.
Mr.. Dibble, the temporary chairman, took
occasion to remark before taking his seat,
that f there were any persons present like
Gen. Estell, Churchman or Ryland, who had
acted with them on like occasions, and then
gone over to the enemy, that they light
then leave. Shouts of applause greeted the
Speech says the Union.
There was much of this kind of tallt-a
sort Of dragoning the wavering into submis-
sion. There was a Mr.. f. B. Drake, from
Tuolumne elected delegate, but who had
since Joined the Democrats This was con-
sidered very wrong on the part of Drake,
but their feelings were much Modified when
it was ascertained that they had his proxy to
work with.
The double delegation trick came near pro-
ducng some difficulty.
The following nominations have been made.
For Congress-B. G. Whitman, of Solano;
A. B. Dibble of Nevada.
For Clerk of Supreme Court-John Skin
ker Of Sacramento.
For State Superintendent of Public In
struction-Horace p. james, Of San Fran
cisco.
The Union in speaking of the above nomi-
nations says AS whole, we cannot believe
that the party has acquired any great dis
tinction in its nominations. 1t has not pre-
sented as strong ticket this year as it might
have done.
The same paper in speaking of the nom
inees for Congress- says: "They are gentle
men Of good character, and youthful enough
to answer the purpose of Young America,
and to secure the continuance of respecta-
bic share of inexperience in our national re-
presentation.

BY MYRA THOKNE.


Flowers, wild flowers OH bring them to me,
Gathered from cliffs by the sunny sea,
Kissed by the mornings earliest beam,
Bathcd in the sunsets golden stream
Watched by the sturs, their bright sisters above,
Cloth'd by the moonbramS with mantlcs of love,
Then by the zephyr more boldly carcSScd
Stealing their fragrance to gladden. his breast.
Bring me wild flowers from shady hooks,
Flowers that nod by the meadow brooks,
Flowers that laugh on the mountain side,
Flowers that wave by the ocean tide.
Bring me the white flower dripping with dew,
Bring me the blue flower mode It and true,
Bring me the golden cupid lily, and then
L luck me the violet hid in the glen.
Lay them all gently upon my brow;
Hush there are spirits about me now,
Spirits Of flowers, ah! now know
Why / loved and cherished them so.
Each little cup is Spirit homc
Each velvet petal spirit throne,
Music ! hear from each tiny cell.
Weaving around me Il magic spell.
Now let me sleep, and pcrchancc may dream
Gently there falls on my eyeds \ beam
OF light, from the far away Spirlt-lanu,
Bearing white angels-a glorious band.
Ilithcr they come on their inions oflove,
SWectcr the strains of their voices prove,
/ Louder and nearer their anthems swell
