Mr.. Douglas and Mr.. Buchanan.

The Brodericktes of the State, we'll know
ing the unpopuarity Of their leader, and well
understanding that they could not muster a
corporal's guard under his lead, are seeking
to shelter themselves under the potent name
Of Stephen A. Douglas, and for that purpose
are falsely seeking to make the impression
on the public mind that Messrs. Douglas
and Broderick occupy toward Mr. Buchanan
the same position; that he (BIoderick,) is op-
posed to the Administration, and also to Mr..
Douglas Now in addition to the speeches
and the actions of Mr. Douglas in the Senate
in support of Mr. Buchanan and his Admins
tration, we have proof Of his warm support
of the President, in his private conversations.
We we're told the other day, by and old and
respectable citizen, who has recently return
ed from visit to the Atlantic States that
Just before he sailed from New York he had
private conversation with Mr.. Douglas, in
which he took occasion to say he had the ut
most confidence in Mr.. Buchanan, and that
he never differed with him except on the
Kansas constitution; and now that it had been
settled by the English bill, he was satisf ed
and would support the Administration with
great corda!ity. Notwithstanding all this,
and notwithstanding Mr.. Douglas rebuked
Broderick an the floor Of the Senate, for
seeking to make him commit himself
against Mr.. Buchanan, the bogusites, with
Broderick at their head are seeking to pol
lutte the name of the 'little giant" BY useing
it to carry out their reasonable purposes.
No wonder the very name of Broderick stinks
in the nostrils Of the people Of California!
He is sunk so low into the mire and filth Of
political corruption treaoherv, tina: the very
dogs refuse to bark at him. Sac. Msrcury.

FUSION = THE REPUBLICANS OF PLACER COUNTY
TRADED OFF BY THEIR LEADERS-THE BOGUS
TIES AND REPUBLICANS JOIN HANDS

notwithstanding all the protestatons of the
Broderickites that they would have nothing
to do with the Republicans, and have spit
upon that party and its principles, and have
applied harsh names to its members, they
have fused and are now working with them.
And the Republicans, after all the kicks,
and cuffs, and abuse they have received, have
thrown their arms lovingly around those who
spurned them, and sworn to friendship and
fraternity. Republicans of the rank and file,
how like you the alliance9 Douglas men Gf

as Mr.. Douglas does, yet in the ranks of the
bolters) what think you of your allies!
The Republicans have made their ncmina-
tions, indorsed the whole Broderick county
ticket, and have scattered their hand bills,
headed "Repubican Nominations" over the
county. And in order that this grand fusion
may not suffer for the want Of publicity, we
gratuitously publish the Broderck and Re-
publican tickets, and yoke the dear twins to-
gether. Look at them, voters Of Placer
county, are they not pretty pair9 We pub.

BEW ARE OF BOGUS TICKETS!

From the many and unscrupulous stories put
in circulation Ly the Bogusites during the can
vass, it may well be expected they will stop at
nothing to insure success. 1t is necessary them to
scan closely the tickets on election day, that no.
man may b. deceived as to the true Democratic
ticket The genuine ticket is headed Buchanan
and the Union!"-"Regular National Democratic
Ticket"-and upon it at the head of the State
ticket is JOSEPH G. BALDWIN, for Justice OF
the Supreme Court; aud at the head of the coun-
ty ticket, J.lMES ANDERSON, for State Sena
tor. See that these names are upon it, and the
balance of the ticket is AS published under the
editorial head of the Placer Herald.
Voters cannot he too careful in avoiding i'm
position; therefore let them be sure that every
name on the ticket is the correct one before vo

The Pacific arrived at San Francisco on
Tuesday, from Victoria, with "a passengers

The steamboat Otter arrived at Victoria
from Frazer River, on the 10th of August,
and the Victoria Gazette learns that she
brought $1,000 in dust.
THE DIaoINas.-Messrs Kent e. Smith,
expressmen, brought down with them, says
the Gazette, 600 ounces of dust, the greater
portion Of which was from the sluice claims
on Texas Bar. On his way up the river, Mr..
Smith counted the number of rockers at
work on each bar, and inquired as to the
success of the miners in working. On Puget
Sound Bar there were 40 rockies at work,
with three men to rocker, and all doing
well. On Sacramento Bar there were Is
rockers at work, and few men unemployed
A! Enory's Bar there were SO rockers at
word, and miners averaging SO to IS to the
hand. On Hills Bar, 100 rockers and 400
men at work, averaging an ounce day each
There was little doing at Fort Ya'e. From

the Big Canon, in which two of them and
two Indians were killed. The Indians are

prevent whites from ascending the river.
Fifteen miles above Fort Yale some two thou
sand Indians are assembled, evidently for no
friendly purpose An 1rshman was attacked
by them near the rancheria and they cndea
vored to rob him Of his money, but only
succeeded in getting his grub. After Nj
Smiths arrival at Fort Hope. party of min
ers came down, bringing the intelligence
that fight had occurred at the rancheria,
where the Indians were defeated and their
encampment burnt. Ten Indians Tone of

The Dry Creek Meeting.

Editor Placer Heruld:-Accidental q
copy of that Bogus sheet, the Placer Press
found its way among us farmers on Dry creek
on Wednesday last, in which see mention
made of the meeting held here last week, at
which Messrs Anderson & Co. spoke. The
notice also publishes several resolutions
which it is said were offered by Schellhouse.
No such resolutions were otfered-but long
string Of others, which Mr. Ball had prepar-
ed, and got Schellhouse to of.r. AS those
resolutions wee not the real sentiments Of

THE EXPIRING KICK OF KNOW NOTHING.
ISM.

The American party, which is dcfunct as a Ma.
tional or State organization, has been resusctated
temporarily in this county in the hope Of going
through the canvass successfully on account of
the slight detection from the Democracy. They
do not claim, as We understand, that their party
has any hope for renewed existence and power,
but seeing chance for the spoils if their broken
battalions could again be mustered, they have
come into the fight to run the desperate chances
But it Is q useless waste of time and money for
their candidates to 60 through the county. The
back Of the party is broken the days Of its sue
cess 10 past the doctrines of the order have fallen
into disrepute, and arc no longer being contended
for. There are but three or four counties iu tbs
State where tickets of the kind have been brought
out, and IN all for the same reesonsthe troubles
Of the Democracy seeming to offer prospect for
the Offices.
The living symptoms of the American party
are merely caused by the fact that just now "there
is wild hunt after ofice,' and who ever heard
OF Know Nothing being entirely dead when
anything go good as that is running around loose
As these poor fellowc are about having the last
clod thrown upon their political graves, in Il
spirit Of charity We forbcar to recount their nu-
merOus sins and leave them to the quiet of an

Kansas. They overflow with sympathy for
the affairs Of that distant Territory, but ap.
pear not to have modicum of interest in
anything that pertains to the welfare Of our
State and county. Every candidate, from
Justice Of the Supreme Court to Constable,
must be elected solely with reference to bis
views upon the Kansas question-honesty
and capacity not being taken into the &C.
count.
To our county affairs, the management Of
which most Of the officers we are now to
elect, will be Immediately concerned, we
have called attention aud challenged our
opponents to an investigation Of the manner
un which the present Democratic admnistra.
ton has executed the trust reposed in it.
The only notice that has been taken of this
call by these small-beer patriots is, con.
temptible falsehood from the Placer Press
that the county debt had, if anything, been
increased instead of diminished during the
terms Of our present officers
