VICTORY!
"There burst from that great concourse
A shout that shook the towers,
And some ran north and some ran south,
Crying-'The day is ours!'"

The first Wednesday of September, 1858,
will be remembered with feelings of pride,
by the faithful lion hearted Democracy of
Placer. There was work for every man OF
them, and man for every place where
work was to be done. Our legions were
81 moro terrible in the onset than charge Of
Numidan horse, and as firm in resistance as
the English squares at Waterloo. Our men
were worthy Of Democracy and of each other.
BE jubi'ant, oh Democrats of Plaeer-be
iubilant, and send up a shout of victory that
shall make the mountains quake. Wear
now the laurel wreath, for right nobly have
We won it; accept the crown of victory and
fee, within your stout hearts that you deserve
it. The campaign was short, but every inch
of ground was contested. Our foes came
down in t1ocks, with their beaks sharpened
with poison to individual reputation, and
screaming vtnperation. We do not tread
upon fallen foe, but hold up the leaders of
the Bogus faction as knights unworthy a
place within the lists. They left the forum
of debate, to wal!ow in the vile filth of per-
sonalities; they forgot their position before
the public, and ia blind rage detailed ac-
cusations against our candidates that they
knew were false. Capital, with its many
tongued friends stepped in to aid in crushing
individuals. The rebukc they have met on
this occasion, will hereafter be a warning to
any set of politicians who may come before
the air-minded conservative people OF Placer,
not to "stoop to conquer" AS vlctors we
NAV forget the acts of the man, but to for
give the practices Of these partsans is to
encourage it in the future: .. $1,000.
selves badly this canvass. To obtain the as
sistance Of what has proven itself to be a
miserable faction, they have besmothered
their identity as party. This is not like
party assuming to guard the interests of
the great American people. However "sich
is ife."

BOGUS TIcKETs.-The Placer Press howl
I'd loudly about Bogus tickets before the
election, AID pretended to much Indignation
against such frauds being committed. We
have before us National Democratic ticket

names of Phillips, for Sheriff, Sherman for

stead of Bullock, Hamlin and Applegate,

1t will be bright page in the history of
Buchanan's administration which records
the final remuneration of the vexatous as
sumption of right, by the English, to visit
American vessels. This pretended right
has always been claimed-at least, ever
since the suppression Of the slave-trade has
been made the ostensible purpose of the
British Government. Now, however, it is
ENTHUSIASTICALLY and officially renounc-
ed. The American merchantmen may sail
in any sea, with the assurance that the flag
of our country will protect the ship.
The abandonment of the pretended right
of visit by the British Cove: nment, is one
of the remarkable incidents of the time. 1t
is rare that Government relinquishes any
power which she assumes and feels able to
maintain. But the determined attitude of
the President, backed up by the united voice
of all patriotic citizens, has effected what no
former administration was able to achieve
Bravcly and we'll has Mr.. Buchanan vindi-
Gated his country's honor, and he merits
and will receive therefore, his couptrys graf.

some 90 Indians ofthe Pah Utah tribe came
into the Old mission of San Jose whilst he

Indians from the region around the Salt lake
valley. They came by the lower route and
up through Livermore's pass and so into the

Latest From Fraser River.

The steamer Santa Cruz arrived at San
Francisco on Wednesday with the very la
test news from Fraser River.
The news, as usual, is conflicting. Fraser
river was still rising. There were rumors of
Indian depredaions, etc.
The Victoria Gazette is full of communira
tions as to allowing white American citizens
to be obliged to coiningle at church with
colored people An American writes as fol

our people by crowding Negro men into the
seats with white ladies, and otherwise casting
the whites and black together in such reg

Considerable excitement prevailed in con

This report received confirmation by the
finding, on the morning Of the lsth of 10
bodies which were picked up above Fort
Yale, and one Of which was recognized as
that Of Mr.. Johnson, of Whatcom, and an
other as that Of Mr.. Miller, of Fort Yale
Four others were subsequently found below

The Stub.Toed Boots.

A certain party, whose name it is unneces-
sary to mention were camped out West near
the Des Moine improvement. They had a
large tent fitted Up very comfortable, and
the boosters about there were in the habit of
frequently dropping in and making themsel-
YES perfectly at home. One afternoon, one
of the party, c.. was sitting straddle of a
trunk, with glass before him, shaving and
pair of stub toed boots sitting on the trunk
before him-not such stubs as the fancy
used to wear, but different in every way.
You may form some idea of their shape by
the doctor saying that "the shoemaker who
made them was too poor to buy last and
therefore must have made them over his
lap stone" Z. had not been engaged over
FIVE minutes when in comes one of the hoos-
iers, very leisurely taking seat and COM
menced taking good survey. After en-.
deavoring to draw out one or two of the
party, and finding it 'no CO." his gaze at
length rested on our friend C.'s shoes.
Thinking he had good subject for discours-
ing on, he said:
II say, stranger, how did the toes of them
ar (pointing to bis shoes) ever git drawed
up 500"
Z. got up and looked at him minute,
and then, in rather unpleasant tone of
voice, said:
"Sir, drove the toes of those shoes, as
you see, by kicking men out of this tent for
asking impudent questions"
The fellow did not stay great while after
that, but moved out with his face to c., with
his eyes fixed firmly on the stub-toed boots.
