Primary Elections.

We would call the attention OF the De
mocracy Of Amsdor to the fact that we are
just upon the eve of our primary elections,
and urge upon them the necessity OF select
ing, with great care, proper persons to rep
resent them 10 the County Convention
None but true and well tried Democrats
should be permitted to exercise the powers of
a position so fraught with interest to the
Democratic party; none should have dele
gated to them the power to say who shall be
the persons to lead this great National Party
to renewed victories, except those who have
been tried and never found wanting. The
necessity of caution in the selection of dele
gates is obvious to every thinking Democrat.
Our enemies are wiley, and acting upon the
motto, that everything is fair in politics, are
not over scrupulous about the means they
use to secure the consummatlon of their de-
signs. No better opportunity is offered the op-
ponents Of Democracy to gain their ends,
than to smrggle their votes into the ballot
box at the primary elections, and by thus
striking at the very root of our success, Sc
cure the nomination OF their own ilk, or OF
those repugnant TO the party, thereby crea-
ting dissatisfaction and dscord in our ranks,
and in consequence. probably defeat.
Although it is well conceded that the
Democratic Party is stronger than the entire
combination of its opponents, yet the battle
is not always to the strong. and by placing
too much confidence in our numerical strength
we may suddenly be aroused to the unpleas-
ant fact that our numbers have yielded to
the active, cunning and crafty intrigues of our
skillful opponents We want for delegates,
there, men who are Democratic at heart, and
who will faithfully represent and support the
wishes of the masses, by nominating good
and capable men to serve them That this
may be accomplished, let every true Demo
crat promptly present himself at the ballot
box on the evening of the 18th inst, and de-
post his vote for delegates worthy the conf
edce of the Democratic Party, and capable
Of making proper selections from the nu-
nerous applicants to Oil our State and coun-
y Offices, and by SO doing add another tri'
lmph TO the list Of victories achieved by or

that day.
The Rev Mr.. Gober Of Sacramento being
present, at the call Of the meeting, made a
very able, eloquent aud interesting speech in
faver of the resolutions, pointing out the
blessings and substantial benefits which well
spent Sabbaths confer upon us as nation,
aud in conclusion spoke highly of the objects
Of the meeting and urged upon the young
men particularly to remember the Sabbath
d-y 70 keep it holy
On motion the following committee was
appointed, W. o. Clark, B. F Rightmire and
John II. Gramburt was appointed to circu
late and secure names to the following pledge
We hereby mutually pledge our honor, each
to the other that ace soiN not trade with any
merchant or business man in this place, or
vicinity who does business on Sunday and
that we will use our inhuenc to keep ouI
friends and aequaintances from encouraging
or in any mann er countenancing those whc
make the Sabbath business day.
Ga motion of W o. Clark, the Secretary
was directed to forward the proceedings o.
this meeting to the Sacramento Union, Week
ly Ledge, and Amador Sentinel, and request

RAD TASTE.

The Petersburg Express says:-"Iowards
the cool hours of evening, numbers OF chill
dren have of late been sent ont to promenade
the streets and enjoy the open air, display
ing their own sweet graces and the good or
bad taste of mammas 10 the peculiar arrange
ment of their juvenile paraphernalla. Ibe
worst possible taste in the dress OF little girls
is that which prescribes an expansive hoop
or an indefinite amount of starch, TO throw
out the gaudy or simple skirts OF the wearer
to an inGrdinate extent, thus destroying all
seeming of that soft drapery which should
ALWAYS be associated with childhood. and
substituting a stiff, uneasy toilet, without
even the slightest grace or advantage to re-
deem it. Short dresses with moderate
amount of stiffening are very pretty and ele-
CANT, and add beauty aud attractiveness to
the neatly worked paptalette, and invest the
little feet and slender ankles beneath, with a
loveliness we might call poetic To realize
this peasurable impression, it is but neees-
sary to watch the tripping motions Of some
half dozen taste!uly dressed little girls,
and contrast the effect with that OF as many
starched and stiffened into misconceived
elegance. 1t mothers will be lavish IN the
adornment of their children, let them; but
for heavens sake permit the little creatures
the privilege of looking as sweet as possible
with corresponding degree of ease sim
plicity and grace.
