excellent: He is honest, intelligent and

Such are the men, fellow Democrats of
Calaveras, whom the Angels Convention
has nominated for the offices within your
gift at the election on the 1st of Septem-
Der next. 1t will be perceived, on re-ca-
pitulation, that taoo of them have been
once indorsed by Democratic State con-
vention, (Marlette for Surveyor General
and McKibben for Congress- and trium-
phantly elected upon that indorsement.-
One of them, (Mr. Marlette,) has been
taeice indorsed by Democratic County con-
ventions of Calaveras county, and elected
County Surveyor upon each Endorsement.
Taoo of them, (Mr Shuler and Mr.. o.
Brien) were once before indorsed by a
Democratic County convention, and there
upon elected by Democratic votes to the
General Assembly. The remainder are
all Democrats, and we believe have con-
stantly acted with that party. So much
for their political antecedents. Can
the opposition boast as clean a record p
Why, when some of their candidates
were humble disciples at the adored
shrine of Whiggery, all these men were
battling in the Democratic ranks and
when many of those who assisted at pri-
mary elections, and in the Murphys' con-
vention, in excluding Democrats from
their councils, were found in Know-N Moth
ing Wigwams, such men as Marlette, and
Shuler, and O'Brien were battling man
fully with the Democracy. Yet we will
be told by the cunning parasites of power,
that these men are not orthodox Demo-
Gratis! That they have no right to think
and act upon principles of their political
faith when they happen to run counter to
the stubborn purposes of President =
Out upon such cringing Interpretation !!
The President is but man, and the Peo-
pie are power above him. He is as
much subject to the creed of political
faith adopted at Cincinnati, as the hum
blest nominee upon our ticket is to the
resolutions of our Convention. This is
Democracy; and not that system of tricks
and frauds through which, with the aid
of the Federal Golfers, the opposition are
endeavoring to force themselves upon an
unwilling people
