DEMOCRAT.
Correspondence Of the Democrat.
FAIR PLAY. july 2Sth 1857

EDITORS DEMOCRAT: 1t is gratifying to
witness the satisfaction manifested by the
Democracy throughout the length and
breadth Of Old Costumes, at the ticket
presented for their sufiragcs by the late
Democratic Conventions. The first syl-
liable Of dissatisfaction is yet to be cx.
pressed in regard to single nominee on
the State ticket, while hearty, thorough
and unanimous acquicscncc in the nomi.
nations for the several county Offices is
unmistakably expressed in every quarter.
The Democracy are more than satisfied
they are delighted They expected a
strong ticket, and they have not been dis
appointed. That strength which intcgri-
ty, capability, and we'll tested devotion to
the party can give it, has been most for.
tunately secured in our late nominations,
and in spite of all TIE efforts Of a weak,
but desperate and unscrupulous opposi.
ton, it will be triumphantly elected
Unlike few office-sceking monomaniacs
over your way, who, though fairly and
honorably defeated in convention, yet un.
willing to submit to the we'll established
usage of the Democratic party, seek the
advertising columns Of a newspaper for q
sclf-romination, the candidates from this
quarter of the county, who were unsuc-
cessful before that body, have, like good
Democrats, abided by its choice and will
render the ticket their undivided and en-
thusinstic support. This speaks we'll for
them in these degenerate days, when
doubt and suspicion attach to almost eve.
~ aspirant for Office, so far as regards his
subsequent course, should he be defeated
in convention. The Democracy appre-
ciate and will remember such devotion to
principle. 1t was the ardent wish of the
opposition that these gentlemen would
bolt the ticket, and so disaffect the party
as to insure their su ccess in September
But their hearty endorsement Of the tick
ct has dissipated the last hope of our en-
emics, and has won for themselves many
additional friends who will be slow to for.
get the fidelity to principle they have
shown, and who will consider it not only
pleasure, but a high duty, to reward
them hereafter for their iaithfulness to
the party.
The Democracy throughout the coun.
ty may rest assured that Cosumnes will
do her duty. Never yet has she faltered,
nor will she now, when no causes for dis.
satisfaction or divisions exist in our ranks.
Greatly to the disappointment of the op.
position, the Ki.YiS, Woody Heads and
Independents" her Democrats are not
only law-abiding, but convention-abiding {;
and when satisfied that things have been
done ION the square, in convention, none
are reader to unite in hearty and de.
termined support and endorsement of all
its acts and proceedings.

CoN0ENIAL EMPLOYMENT IA number Of
villainous and brninless Scribblcrs Of this
town, through the columns Of a sickly
concern, are attacking Mr.. Williams. the
Democratic candidate for Attorney Gene
raj, because he was too honest and indc-
pendent to affiliate with the Know Moth.
ing Negro Worshiping faction, on the
disruption Of the gallant old Whig party.
His manly conduct is a blistering ref1ec.
ton on their apostacy, and hence their
vindictivencss. Incapable eliminating or
appreciating his patriotic course, and en-
vious Of his steadily increasing populari-
ty, these scavengers seek to lessen his in.
fuence, impair his usefulness and blast
his reputation by inventing the most ma.
licious ISLANDERS. To render their efforts
fruitlcss, it is only necessary to state that
the authors of the articles are personal
enemies of Mr.. Williams, ,men whose state.
ments are never reliable, and who are fol-
lowers and associates of the blackest Of
the Black Republicans. Assassln-likc,
they stab in the dark, and dare not put
their infamous names to their iess infa-
nous productions.

RESOLUTIONS.

WHEREAS, An effort is now being made
by the friends Of social reform in our
county to close the various places Of bu-
siness on the first day Of the week, COM
monty called Sunday. and believing that
the way the said day is usually spent in
California is fraught with evil, and one oi
the great sources from which has sprung
the almost Overwhelming tide of intcm-
perance which now and in times past has
deluged our State. and being satisfied that
the observance Of said day will tend to
the advancement of the temperance re.
formation and the best interests Of socie.
ty, therefore
ResolreO, That we will at all times and
under all circumstances, as far NJ the
same may be possible, patronize those
merchants whose places Of business arc
closed on Sunday, in preference to those
who open for the ordinary transaction oi
business.
Ecsolred, That we most cordially unite
with Placcrvillc Division, No. 80, S. Oft
in recommending a similar course to our
sister Divisions, throughout our county
and State.
RcsoIred, That these resolutions be
