famous for such traps, ever live up to their

Strange that the poor devil should want to
unite with such party. Speaking of the

Yet he wants TO be that enemy's organ!

manifest tergversations and personal infamy."-
Sentinel, Oct. 25, 1856.
Remember, voters of Amador, that Bu-
chanan is a vascllating and treacherous wire
working politician. Remember
these things, voters of Amador, and beware
how you support party which is all decep-
ton, falsehood and empty sounding brass.'-
Sentinel, Nov. l, 1856.
We might Gil whole pages with similar
things that appeared in the Amador Sentinel
during the campaign of 1856, but the above
will answer for the present. The fshy !"
are welcome to such an organ it is quite
fitting that they shonld sleep with just such a
nondescript sheet under their pillows The
staunch Democracy will not be led astray

Indians in Amador and Adjoining
Counties.

The General Government has expended a
large amount of money in providing Tor and
removing Indians to Reservations in Callior-
MIA. The liberality and humanity of the Gov
ernmcnt, in this, have been extensively
commented upon, and justly so; the red man
is rapidly passing away, and his white superb
or smooths the path which he is descending.
How many reservations have been estab-
lshed in California, and how many Indians
have been removed to them, we are unable
TO state; bat il is quite certain that the In
dians north and south, and along the coast,
have received the attention OF Government
officials. Why it is that they have been
entirely neglected in Amador, Ell Dorado,
Calaveras, Tuolumne, and probably two or
.hree other counties in the centre of the
State, we are at loss to determine, unless it
be because the white inhabitants of this part
of the State have not made the proper rep
reservations to the Government authorities.
This neglect we think, is in all probability
the reason that no notice has been taken OF
the Indians, or of their condition, in the coun-
ties named.
There are various reasons why the Gov
crnmeat should look after and take care of
the indians alluded to--reasonS as strong as
any that have induced their removal from
other parts of the State. We regret
10 write the fact that in every camp, or near
" so there are white men mean enough to
sell liquor TO the Indians; and the Indian,
with his appetite once whetted, will sell his
wife o. steal from sluiee-boxes for money
with which TO buy the liquid fire. He falls
into all kinds of vice, and really needs the
fostering care Of the Government.
We shall allude to this subject again. and
in the mean time would respectfully ask Col.
#. j. Henley, Sup't of Indian affairs in Cal
ifornia, to take the matter into careful con-
sidcraton. There should certainly be a Res
eryation somewhere in this vicinity, either
on this or the other side of the Sierras, aud
the Indians Of this part of the State removed
thereto

Board of Supervisors.

Our present very excellent, efficient and
economical Board Of Supervisors have been
repeatedly attacked, and grossly misrepre
sented by the Am0dor Sentinel The 'crime"
of the members of the Board, which brings
down the wrath of the Sentinel. is the fact
that they nrc all good, sound, unwavering
Democrats The last attack is in the Senti-
mel of this morning, charging the LEDGER
with presenting oyer-charges against the
comfy, and the Board with allowing them
What the Sentinel says is false - false in
every particuar-and is sinstigated by malice
If the Scrtind received good round share
Of public printing, at the hands Of the Board
it would say nothing about the prices paid
for the same The price of public printing
in this county was reduced about one third
when the Ledger was started; and now that
( the Sentinel is no longer enabled to charge
extortionate prices, it works itself into u
Stew" and "growls like bear with sore
head" when the Board pays the Ledger a
decent living price, and nothing more, for
work done for the county.
We shall not take the trouble to particu-
larize, further than to append certificate
from II. A. Eichelberger, Fsq our County
/ Assessor, which exhibits the reckless false
| hood with which the iScnfincFs article abounds.
The Sentinel says the Board allowed three
charges for the same job; the Assessors
statement proves it a lie The editor of the
/ Sentinel knew it was lie when he penned it,
To utter such things, however, is nothing
new for him.
! Here is the Assessors certificate:

nroperty Of Walsh & Co. is decidedly valu-
able. Their saw mill is in excellent condi-
ton: capable of saving four thousand feet of
lumber per day and situated in the midst OF
an immense forest of pines Of all kinds; su-
par pines and cedar ore abundant The mill
is worked by the water power of their ditch,
and there is consequently much less expense
and labor required in its operations than is
necessary in the working of mills by steam
power.
OF their line of bitches the principal one is
only three miles long, and is taken out of the
North Forks of Sutter Creek, and drains Il
very extensive, deep soled and nearly level
piece of country, affording large supply OF
water during the greater part OF each year,
and for much longer time, each season, than
any other ditch in its vicinity. Altogether
there is here offered rare chance for the
profitable investment of capital and industry.
Whoever gets it will say that he has found
