TEe IfnIfers.

shallow and bald d-faced attempt was ever
made to humbug the Democracy, than is
now being made by those who sustain the
unprincipled political trickster and bolter,
Jos. L. Lewis. The course of his sup
porters out-Zabriskies Zabriskie, for the
latter gentleman has the frankness and bold
ness to avow his sentiments, and publicly
advocate them, no matter where they may
lead him, or to what party they may carry
him Not SO with the plundering tricksters
and bohers, who seek to pick the pockets
Of thetax-paying public by thieving acts of
special legislation. To accomplish their vile
and uDprincipled schemes against the
public revenue of the county under the
shadow anG form of law, these tricksters
demand the bench of the Fifteenth Judicial
District for their chief. We ask the Demoe-
racy to examine the antecedents of those
who are now engaged in the attempt to des-
troy the Democratic organization. by asser-
ting that the usages and customs of the par
ty amount to nothing, and that the decisions
of its conventions are not binding. Look at
the Lewis organ in this county, fellow Dem
ocrats, and be not deceived by its foul and
poisonous breath. 1t is simply the alternate
issue of an opposition paper. Its publish
ers in April last, were the publishers Of the
only paper in California that demo unced the
sound national doctrines enunciated in
President Buchanan's Inaugural message.
Its ostensible Editor is entitled to no politi-
cal credence whatever, from any political
orgaization, much less from the good
old principle loving, usage abiding Democ-
racy. Himself an applicant before our Dem
ocratic convention for the position of County
Judge, he was bound by every principle of
political honor and good faith to abide its
decisions. Are the doctrines of those who
thus shake off their political obligations and
good faith entitled to the attention and
respect Of the Democratic party? Will firm
tried and consistent Democrats-men who
have never faltered in their allegiance in
the darkest hours of political adversely, be
deceived by the shallow trickery of Lewis
and his unprincipled blowers Let Demo-
Gratis examine the facts and not be deceived
by selfish and unprincipled tricksters.
The same class of political toadies are
now traversing every portion of the district,
practising their deception and fraud upon
the Democracy. The following picture of
these gentlemen may be appreciated in many
of the precincts of this judicial district,
about this juncture:
"lIere the bolter smirks and drinks and brbes
And to all principles at once subscribes,
Denounces opponents as arrant thieves,
Calls for reform and for his country grieves
While he, the greatest rascal of the day,
Wants but the chance to be still worse than they,
So want of power. oft makes those wondrous good.
Who'd reign like very Nero's if they could;
Who virtues claim when placed in humble stations.
But shake them Off when great, like poor rela tions'
