Amador weekly ledger., 1858-05-08

the column alluded to claims to be Democratic
cup to the hub and talks ebout the former
struggles of the party, and says that in 1855
there was "medly opposition" to the De-
mocracy, "in the hands Of anprinapied trick
sters and stoindling dsmagogues." We will
prove below. from his own paper, that the
editor himself was one of the tricksters and
swindlersll That he was Know Nothing
up to the latest hour it is perhaps only
necessary to say that he was delegate to
aud attended the last Convention that party
ever did hold or ever will hold. As to new
er calling for mo nominations" we need on
", to prove that he has, refer to his clar-trap
No-party articles for months past, and to the
second article in the aforsad first editorial
column of the Sentiuel of April oath
Therein he wants every community to follow
the lead proposed in Sacramento, and have
mo nominations at air. These italicised
words are his own. As to his never abusing
the Democratic party, the opposite proof will
be found below The poor devil should not
DARE" us to the proof too often; its ishy
Democratic" friends may not altcays be
gamers in consequence.
1t is little troublesome and very disgust
ing to go to looking over the files of the
Sentinel; but for the benefit of its aforesaid
Democratic supporters, we shall devote
ten or fifteen minutes TO that purpose, and
see what VIC can find Thine own mouth
condemneh thee, and not /: yea, thine own
lips testify against thee"
The following is from the Amador Senti-
mel of Nov. lst, ls56--its last issue prior to
the Presidential and State elections of that
year:

The above ticket don't look very Democrat
ic If our memory is not greatly at fault it
was a Know Nothing ticket. But the rag
amuflin of the Sentinel says he never abused
the Democracy, wasn't Know Nothing to
the latest hour, HASN'T called for "no nomina.
tions," &c, &c. Now let him condemn him
self, land his "fishy" Democratic supporters, J
out of his own mouth; in the language of
holy writ, let his own lips testify against him.
Readers, this morning the AmadOr Sen.

either make it one of her leading political
papers or blast its future prospects forever"

The Amador Ssntinel Of Aug, 10th, 1856,

"The only Democratic guards in jackson,
that we know of, are the Democratic black
guards "-Sentinel, Aug. 80, 1856
"W. w. Core, Ese.-Ths gentleman,
who a short time ago made his debut on the
Democratic boards, at Drytown, and who
but uery recently made the astounding devel-
opment that the American party prescribed
Catholics, and was guilty of many other
naughty things, has, with that charactistic,
self-sdcridcing disposition, enlisted under the
banner of Old Bnck : and, like Ipsidoode
Furgy,' says he supports Buck because Fill
more stands no show to be elected in other
words Fillmore is his choice but as he is in
the minority he (Copc) can't support him, as
