in North Carolina, he deprecated and de-

chivalrous gentleman do this?
Mr.. Stanly, when a member of Con-
gress from North Carolina, . slave State,
earnestly prayed Almighty God that
slavery should never become the subject
Of party platforms, and yet, Mr.. Stanly, Of
California, free State, accepts the nOmi-
nation for Governor of o party which
makes slavery the chief plank in their
platform, and is now engaged In an unhO-
ly crusade to excite all the evil passions
and prejudices Of SectiOnGIism that can
be aroused or excited. Whyf-tO be

We refrain from pursuing this matter
further. The crisis has arrived and Dom.
Ocrats know their duty, and we believe
they will perform 1t. They have adhered
to the principles Of their party heretofore
and maintained their ascendency when
open foes battled against and secret enes
mics sought to sap and undermine them.
The cry Of reform and purity, the "Lord's
prayer and the ten commandment" by
those who are neither reformers nor
Christians, will fail to seduce them-the
Democrats of Ell Dorado and the State
from adhesion to their principles and A.
deity to their party. Let them come out,
one and all, on Wednesday nert, the scc-
ond Of ofSeptember; let them come out in
their might and power as they should do,
and like reeds before the tornado, like
stubble before the consuming breath ol
the irresistible fire, the vile factions and
crazy fanaticisms which prevail to toe
great an extent in our State, must and
will crisp, crumblo and fall into nothing

Democrats Of El Dorado! do your duty
and the enemy is ours. If you fall, fall

SPURIOUS TICKETs.-Democrats, beware
Of spurious tickets. We have it from
good authority that certain parties have
had printed and are now circulating in
remote precincts, bogus tiCkets-tickets
headed Irregular Democratic ticket" but
containing the names Of two Know Moth.
ings and one Republican. None are gen.
Wine that differ in the least from the one
at the head Of our papOr. Examine your
ticket for yourself carefully before voting,
, and see that it contains the names of ALL
the candidates as published in to-day's
DEMOCRAT. The factions and isms oppo.
0 scd to US will resort to any and every
disrcputAble means to defeat our candi
[ dates, and esteem it laudable action t.
cheat the unsuspeCting. Place no conf
, dence in their professions but examine all
. tickets before voting, and vote none that
does not contain the names of all your
candidates.
FALsE.-.We find the following base lie
in the San Francisco Bulletin, of tho 18th
inst:
Q "Col Handy, Of El Dorado, openly charges
that, while the Democratic Convention for tha
county was in session, be was approached by
j Mr.. Lee, now the regular Democratic candidate
! for the Assembly, who proposed. that if h
= would agree to divide the profits Of the ofic
}. with the brother Of Williams, the Democratic
candidate for Attorney General. he Handy
: should have the nomination Of District AttUr
: ney secured him."
4 There is not one word of truth in tn
t above. "Col. Handy, of fEl Dorado, open
s ly charges" nothing Of the kind, and W
8 doubt If he does so seeretly. Mr.. viii
/ liams made no proposition to him, All

J. him, and if one were made he was TOTALLY
Q ignorant ofthe fact Since his nomination
t Mr. w. has been vilely slandered BY mol
who courted his favor, who are the recip
Q tents Of his bounty, and who even nov
: profess to be his friends. They have no
/ the manliness to attack him over theiI
