The Iowa Hill Resolutions.

The Iowa Hill Resolutions.
In another place will be found the proceed
ings of a democratic meeting at Iowa Hill,
having under consideration the conduct of
our representatives in the recent Senatorial
contest.
The Preamble announces what we con-
cieve to be correct theory and the resolutions
relating to oneH are but an expression of
a sentiment universal throughout the county.
If the people in other portions of the County
and state, will but give vent to their honest
indignation in like cases, we shall hear less
of such treacherous apostacy in the future.
The time has arrived in California when peo-
pie should exact good faith politically be-
tween man and man. We have no fear of
exalting traitors into dangerous notoriety by
commenting upon their baseness, there is
virtue in the people and we rely upon them
to rebuke such mei,.. 1t was proper in
o'neils case, that Township No. 7, from
which he was selected, should be first to
demand his resignation, not that we believe
he will resign, but to repudiate him at once.
Let the people speak out, it is their best
security, against such outrageous impositions
in the future.
That funny fellow of the State journal, is
out in his crushing way, upon the Democrat
ic papers of Placer Countrywide Herald
and News. He informs ali 'tlo world and
the rest of mankind" that the Herald is
"unsound on the Vigilance question" and
that the Ioma Hill Neecs "only hoisted
the Democratic flag Immediately proceed
ing the last Presidential Election"
"The Journal insists, that Mr. o'ne1 is a
gentleman"
"Oh my prophetic soul--my Uncle
Here is a development. But two short
weeks ago and the editor, was pineing for
the honor of an acquaintance with the Hon.
gentleman. Now it is plain that there has
been recognition and that which we then
so ardently hoped for has been accomplished
The Journal man has made the acquain-
tance of o'nea, a,-perhaps discovered u mole
upon his breast. This accounts for a renewed
attack upou the Placer papers, but the Lord
preserve us from such defence. Among
other sharp things said, is this stuner of a
query; why do not the Placer papers attack
Senator Westmoreland? If we had not op-
posed the election Of Mr.. Westmorland; and
did not know as every body else but the
Journal man, does, that he was elected by
the X. Ms and is under no pledges to the
Democracy Of this County, we should per-
haps revert to his conduct. AS it is we
leave him to those who placed him in posi-
ton, and his loving friends of the Journol
Office
Now we can inform our self important
cotemporary, that the exciting topic which
is now agitating the public mind, and to the
exclusion ofal questions of minora Importance
is "who sleeps with the editor of the Joum-
ol>" An answer to this to this question
would relieve the minds of the good people
of Placer from killing State of suspense.
DELAPIDATED GRAvEs.--There is sur
rounding and in rear of the Jail in Auburn,
an old grave yard, made sacred to many a
heart as the last resting place offricnds that
were good and true, in times past. We
know one of those whose soul is in Heaven.
if a generous heart and exalted honor are
any pass to that glorious future. Recently
in a short walk in and about the premises
we discovered that the fences lave rotted
away and are fast falling down. the collins
have decayed and the graves caved in, so
that vermin crawl in to the mouldering body
and ont to the surface; the head boards have
fallen down, and such state of dessolaton
exists as ought not to be permitted in
Christian Community.
We believe Mr.. Bogs, the jailor, has occa-
sionaly done charitable job to remedy this
matter, and is willing, no doubt, to do more,
but citizens generally ought to move, and
provide a fence, remove the bodies, or take
such other steps as the facts demand.
"My PAPER" is the name of "lttle ioker,"
the first number of which has been received
by us. The editing is done by "the man
himself" who proposes to publish weekly, at
Sacramento The said editor advises the
world that he is "a perfect mush-head at
politics, and does not know the difference be-
tween an American, Democrat OF Republican.
He would be anything, if well paid. The
follies of the day, he attempts to hold up to
