DEMOCRATIC MEETING ON DRY CREEK.-Our can
aidates Anderson, Lynch and Barclay, addressed
the formers and honest Democracy of Dry Creek
on Tuesday evening last, and from what we learn
we should judge had quite lively time of it, the
meeting lasting till near one o'clock. The Re-
publican Broderck candidates, Ball and Shell.
house were also there by invitation of our folks.
and tried their best to clear their skirts of the
charge of being Boilers from the Regular De-
mocracy, and being allies of the Black Republi-
cans but they made little progress, as the afilia
ton seems to be so indellibly impressed upon them
and their actions the public mind fully made un
on thissub)ect, that all the sojshstry, the protes-
tations and pitiful whining of the Bousites
will not await to change the opinions of all true
and conservative national men. Shellhouse de-
MED any endorsement of the ticket by the Black
Republicans, but on being interogated whether
he did not expect to receive the vote of the Re-
publicans OF this county, lodged the question, by
turning to Lynch and asking him if the Republi
can vote would elect him whether he would
serve in the Assembly or MOTTO which Lynch
replied that he did not ask any assistance from 50
dark a Source, and that if elected by Black Repub
lican votes, he would not serve No milk and
water about that ahswer Ball also seemed to
scorn the idea of there being any connection bc
tween him and the Republicans in fact he went
so for as to say, (Which perhaps he wont attempt
to say anywhere else,) that if the Black Repnb
licans knew his real sentiments toward them.
that perhaps few of them would vote for him!
What ingratitude Why, the man is already atr
tempting to bite the very hand that is to feed him
on election day-that isif he is sincere in what
he says-which however, we doubt If it were
not for the hope of getting Black Republicans
to vote for them, their ticket would scarcely get
corporals guard on election day. On Dry Creek
the Broderick Republican ticket will get lust six
votes.
'Will, then, then the people of Placer
look at the issue, and be not misled bv an
ignis factus, without substance or vitality"
Press
Certainly they will! The cry of Popular
Sovereignty here in California for "bleeding
and screechng Kansas" is only "an iqnis
,tatuus without substance or vitalitv,"-and
the honest voters will not be deceived bv
such phantom. 1t seem to us the more
the Press says upon the subject the less it
has to gull the people with, and is fast re-
moving the veil of deception it had drawn
over the eyes of its few deluded followers.

Right. The little sqrad Of office seekers
who have seeded from .he Democratic ranks
and are now going it "cheek by jowl" with
the Black Republicans in this county, need
never expect Mr. Douglas to act with such
hypocritical politicians as they are His
fcrcest enemies in Illinois are the RepuLi-
cans, and those in this county are piece
OF the same cloth, endorsing the same plat
form and standing up for the same sectional
slavery agitation.
