ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.

That would Do as fair an election as
some Of the enemies Of Napoleon attrib-
uted to him when he was elected First
Consul. He is said to have called out
his troops and had them reviewed by his
officers with a speech, patriotic and fair
in it's professions, in which he said to
them: "Now, my soldiers, you are 60
ing TO tho election and 10 vote freely just
as you please, If you vote for NapO-
leon, all is we'll; vote against him, and
you are TO be instantly shot" That

Wherever this champion Of Democracy
speaks he is sure to be received with the most
unbounded applause. Whenever Mr.. Stanly
and Mr. Zabrieski arrive at town, they be-
come invisible until the hour of speaking is at
hand Whereas, when Weller moves, the
minds and the affections of the people move
with him. and when he comes, his friends sur
round him with warm smiles and joyful accla-
nations. It will be seen that after having
fulfilled all his other public engagements, he
is about to favor us with visit. If there is
any stronghold in the State of which the Col.
ought to be proud, it is that which is to be
found in the hearts of the people of this Coun.

united upon him, and nothing can save him
from total, absolute, and positive victory in

various county offices for which they have been
nominated Owing TO the present dissensions
existing in the party in this county, the elec-
ton of some of them may be rendered doubt
ful, but that the majority of them will be
elected over all other opposing candidates we
fully believe.
1t is fully time that the mass of the members
of the Democratic party, should teach every
aspirant for official station that they cannot
force themselves into Office by disregarding
the rules and usages of the party. What the
party confers on any individual is supposed to
be the reward of merit, or the result of pay
ment for services rendered. No one man
should be permitted to control the action of all
the members ofthe Democratic party united.
In placing Mr.. Pool before the people of this
county for the office of Sheriff. it was not done
on supposition that his capacity to discharge
the duties of the office was greater or more
commanding than that known to be possessed
by Mr. Crippen, but it was owing to the fact
that Mr.. Pool was willing to abide by the rules
and usages of the party, and therefore stands
before the people as the regularly appointed
nominee of the Democratic party. That great
efforts will be made by the friends of Mr.
Crippen to defeat his election, will scarcely be
disputed, but that they will be successful very
few believe. The Democracy have adopted
ruloc for THAR nj opI
system for their action during political contests.
And it is by the orderly arrangement at Con
ventions that they are enabled TO concentrate
their strength, and to resist the combined at
tacks of all the floating sms of the day. How
then, can the friends of any candidate hope for
his success, when they cause him TO swerve
from the beaten course, to set all forms and
usages at defiance, and aim either at suprema-
cy or ruin. 1t is no time now either for ar.
gument or abuse-the issue is made by his
individual friends, and must be met by the
mass of the party. Had the friends of that
gentleman shown any disposition to conciliate
or harmonise, an amicabe adjustment might
ha'S oNVh ShVCtOu anu thc "ouhuei winch lhe
obstinancy of some and the selfshness of
others, have inflicted on the body polite, might
have been cured but as it is, the adherents
of this gentleman are resolved on supporting
him at all hazards, forgetful of all rules, forms
and usages of the party. Such being the state
of affairs, let every true Democrat stand hard
firm, and fast, by the regularly appointed nom
inees, and redeem the party from the charge
of being subject to individual dictation.

Public Speaking In this County.

The Hon Milton S. Latham will address the
citizens Of this county at Hornitos, on Friday
evening, the Dist, and at Mariposa town on
the 22d of this month. Aside from Mr.. La
tham's being one Of the most polished and fin
ished orators of the day upon political affairs,
he is an accomplished gentleman and most
agreeable and entertaining associate. His po-
litcal and personal friends are very numerous
in this and the adjoining counties, and he will
be welcomed amongst us with much pleasure
Bile enthusiasm. We shall greet his arrival
in this county as good omen, and as we do
not yet despair Of having all local political diff
ferences settled before the election comes off,
he may greatly assist us by his advice and ex-
perience. Let all attend who can, for they
will be greatly edited and instructed by hear.
ing his speeches.

900 and $50 0OOthat s it would take about that
much money to reft the theatre

seriously as to endangcr their lives Great credit is

MIsrAKEN.-Our contemporary of Marposa
says in its issue of the 18th inst, that two of
the opposition stage lines horses from this
place to Stockton, perishcd from overdriving
and heat, on the 9Th inst We would correct
the assertion by saying that neither of the
horses died, on the contrary they are driven
every day on the same line.
In connection with this, we would state to
our newspaper brethren, of San Francisco,
that they have habit of not being very par
ticular how they give credit to articles taken
from the Mariposa Democrat, or the Mariposa
Gazette The Bulletin copies the above men
toned mistake, and credits it to the Democrat
instead of the Gazette.
