The Pack in full cry.

AS was to be anticipated the whole Brode
rick press of the State have joined the cry
in denunciation of the Administration for
the proceedings had in the New Amaden
Nine case. Quick upon the scent of any
thing that promises the manufacture of cap-
tai against the party to which they have
proved recreant, they profess to feel an ex-
treme of fear that the privileges and rights
accorded TO miners in California are to be
invaded, and the valuable mines developed
by their money and industry to be torn
from them by the hand of power. Desperate,
indeed, must be the cause of the miserable
faction when its hopes Of salvation depends
upon exciting the mining population to fear
and disrust of the Administration whose
party was the first to demand the freedom
of the mines for the industry and enterprise
of our citizens, and that still adheres to the
policy first inaugurated
The ways of Broderckism are foul and
crooked, and go deeper and deeper in the
depths of meanness. We are prepared to
see it resort to the most contemplate means
to gain its ends, and are not surprised at this
last evidence of baesness. But the misera
bic tactics attempted in the present instance
are not sufficiently disguised to deceive those
attempted to be played upon, who laugh
desisively at the impotent efforts Of a press
they fully suspect Of being subsidized.
The mining population will and do un-
derstand, that in contesting the claim of the
New AImaden Company, the Government
was endeavoring to maintain its right to a
valuable mine that is endeavored 10 be held
by a Mexican title that is pretty well estab-
ished to be fraud Satisfied of the invali.
dity of the claim, the Government, as the
guardian of the great national domain held
for the benefit of the people, would have been
false to its trust in not attempting to wrest
this rich property from unlawful possessers.
Had the Government failed to institute this
suit, i. would have undoubtedly received, and
deservedly so, the anathemas Of these same
grovelins presses, for gross negligence in
permitting valuable mines to be seized and
held, by what was generally believed fraud
Every fraudulent claim, upon mineral or
agricultural lands, successfully contested by
the authorities, every miner and farmer un
derstands is so much additional protection
afforded him in occupying the domain that
is thrown open to the enterprise of our peo-
pie, and trutless will be the endeavor to
convince either, that in tie defeating by
Government Of spurious claims to land, they
ought to fear for the possessions they hold
by its consent and authority.
The dishonest buncombe Of Broderickism
has failed in its object.
The Placer herald., 1858-12-04

EgThe Broderickites are in full feather
at the success Of Douglas, in Illinois, which
by some course Of reasoning peculiar to
themselves, they construe into an indorse-
ment Of their betrayal of and boiling from
the Democracy in the late canvass in this
State. They hang their hopes of political
salvation upon slender thread, if the vic
tory Of Douglas is to relieve them from the
odium that justly attaches to their base de-
sertion of the Democratic party, for we have
tie words of Douglas himself in most bitter
condemnation Of men who desert their party
organization and combine with political op-
ponents. Douglas has as distinctly dsavow-
ed such men as the Brodercktes have pro-
ven themselves, as the true Democracy of
California have.
In the late contest in this State, the blatant
followers of Broderick, under pretence of
supporting the views of Douglas, baselv
abandoned the party, and in nearly every
county combined with the Black Republicans.
Their determination was to "rule or RUM
They did not succeed in accomplishing either
object, but were defeated by an overwhem-
ing majority.
They have placed themselves outside OF
the pale Of the party, and there they may
stay They are not entitled neither will they
receive any consideration from the Demo
cracy. We have no compromises to offel
or receive from them-but shall continue tc
regard them as political enemies. They
cannot, hereafter, be admitted to the conf
dence or councils of Democrats, but must
remain where they have placed themselves
with our opponents. The perfdy of the
Broderickits cannot and will not be forgotten
they have chosen their way, and may fol
low it, When the roll of true soldiers wa
called, they did not respond, and are nov
held in the light of deserters, by Democrat
every where.

Good Quartz PROSPECTS.

Preston l. WorreI's quartz mill, situated
at Stewart Flat, five miles below Auburn, is
just been having good ran from quartz ia
ken from the Jenny Lind lode. From fifty
tons Of quartz they obtained 10 ounces of
gold. This has given the Jenny Lind q
good reputation. The company are also
working the Elizabeth and Alabama odes,
both of which pay well,
Henson & Cos quartz mill is situated on
the Elizabeth lode, a part Of which they own;
and we are informed their rock is paving
very well. One of Col. Russ anal eamators
has been put up at this mill within short
time, but there is no result from it us yet,
it not having been cleaned up. We have seen
it in operation, and have confidence that ii
is good machine for saving fine free gold
At the mill it is placed below the blank
cts and sIuices for the purpose of OBTAINING
the fine gold that is believed to escape from
the blankets.
These amalgamators are also intended for
surface mining, and in few days one is to
be put in operation on Secret Ravine. For
quartz mining the machines are two feet
in diameter-for surface mining they will be
four feet.
1t is not claimed for the Russ machine
that it will save the gold contained in the
sulphuretts, as it is well understood by
quartz men that no still amalgamatng pro,
cess can effect that, but for free gold it is
claimed, and we believe justly, that it will
save gold as fine as flour.
