Fourth Volume Of the Mountain Demo-
CrNt.
The W0nhfdin UcmOrF0t, the oldest cS-
tnbliShcd newspaper in Fl Dorado county,
ended the third year of its existence last
Saturday, and to-day commences its
fourth volume under the most ilattering
prospects, with undated zeal, energy and
hope. Its patronage has steadily incrcaS-
cd since its first issue, and by its conSis-
tent course it has won tho appreciation
and confidence Of its party. 1t was cs-
tablishcd at period Of intense political
excitement, when tho Democratic party
was frarfully distracted by new and I'M
fortunate and by many deemed mi inju-
ticiouS aud unjust issue, when friend was
Hrrnycd against friend, and when its very
existence was endangered. Fortunately
the threatened danger, by adopting n con-
Ciliatory policy, was avoided, and the
next year found the late foes working in
harmony together.
During its existence, the Demorr0'
has never been influenced by the advice
of favoritcS, nor controlled by personal
friends, nor deferred from doing what it
conceived to be right, hy considerations Of
policy. 1t has aimed to be consistent,
independent and just, not popular. Ii
has not followed pubic opinion. nor been
the apOlogist Of unworthy public officials.
nor the advocate OF corrupt measures. II

clans. 1t has never submitted to dicta-

opposed, baScly slnndercd and prescribed,
but it has always pursued the ''cvcn tenor

frowns Of GricMl or foe.
