Victory is with us.

We have heard from every portion OF
Placer and can say confidently that next
Wednesday will be day Of victory for the
National Democracy. The friends of the
cause are fully aroused in every precinct and
working with will for the ticket-the whole
ticket The faction that, in an eager desire
for Office, split of from the party, and have
since united their desperate fortunes with the
Republicans, are daily diminishing in num-
bers, and in some precincts have not single
vote. 1t may be relied upon as certain, that
there are precincts that no. a man, who has
ever before voted the Democratic ticket will
go for the bogus nominees. If they receive
votes at all, they will be from Republicans.
The scales have len from the eyes of the
people. They now see through the machin
ations of men, who under the cover Of tue
Kansas question, and by frolhy defamation
about principle Of which they care little and
know less, are striving to distract and dis
member the only party in the country that
can claim national eystenre.
Men who have weaihered many storm in
the old Democratic ship have no idea now Of
deserving the old craft by reason of the iasig
nifcant squall that is now blowing a cats-paw
over the political seas. They prefer right
ing the errors Of their party, when errors are
committed, by remaining within its organi-
zation, than by going over to their enemies
and thus add to the strength OF sectional
agitators.
Such is the feeling Of the stauuch Democ-
racy of Placer; and upon election day they
men, "rue or ruin" office hunters, as will long
be remembered by them.

Grand Mass Meeting
OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY ~
FOREST HILL
600 Democrats In Council
TORCH LIGHT PROFESSIONS FROM
YANKEE jim AND BaTH
The "Divide" all Right.

The meeting at Forest Hill last night was
a glorious demonstration on the part Of the
National Democracy of the "Divide," that
surpassed any political gathering ever held
in the county. Fully 800 persons were
present. At an early hour in the evening,
the people from all the neighboring towns
and mining localities flocked in to hear and
participate in the proceedings. From YAM
kee Jim's and Bath the Democracy marched
in torchlght professions, until uniting their
forces at the Hill formed procession nearly
half mile in length.
The Hon Milton S Latham was the first
speaker upon the stand; and made speech
that he has never excelled upon the stump.
His remarks were received with unbounded
applause throughout. Messrs Anderson and
Stratton followed in speeches that were re-
ceived with the same marked enthusiasm
The entire proceedings were of the most en-
thusiastic character, and stirrngly portrayed
the feeling that exists among the National
Democracy of that portion Of the county.
1t was the death h-knell of the Brode rick
Republican party in that portion Of the
county, and the mailing Of the coffin lid upon
the defunct body Of Know Nothingism.
On Monday evening there will be another
Democratic mass meeting at Iowa Hill, at
which Mr. Latham will speak. The turn
out will probably be as great as at Forest
Hill.
On next Wednesday, the Democracy of
the whole Divide intend speaking through
the ballot box-in a manner that will cause
the Bogustcs to think that somebody has
been "struck by ighlning."

County euperVisofs.

Among the most important county officers
to be elected on next Wednesday, are two
County Supervisors, from Districts No.
and 2. These officials will have great re.
sponsibility resting upon them. Upon their
honesty and good judgment much depends
If faithful and economical in auditing bills
against the county, and in the general ma.
nagement Of county affairs, the county debt
will rapidly decrease, and the taxes upon our
citizens materially lessen. If, on the con-
trary, they are careless and disposed to al
low any exorbitant claims that may be pre-
sented to them, taxpayers cannot, with con-
6dence, look for anything better than q con-
tinuance Of high taxation. Look we'll, then,
to the candidates for Supervisors.
District No !, has presented as candi-
date. Robert Gordon, Of Auburn. 1t is
needless to say, to those who have known
him longest, that he is we'll qualified for the
position. He is an old resident, tax payer,
a correct and prudent merchant; manages
his own business we'll, and would certainly
exert equal care in attending to the affairs
of the county. His election should be de-
sired and worked for by every tax payer.
Capt Josiah Filson, Of Iowa Hill, is the
candidate for District No 2. We have no per-
sonal acquaintance with him, but are assured
that he is man of experience, and possess
ing fully the requisites Of honesty and Ca
pacity.
The accession of these gentlemen to the
Board Of Supervisors will prove benefit to
to the county, and we hope to see them
elected. There is no reason why every voter,
irrespective Of party affiliation, should not
vote for them.

Scobev on Principle.

J. W. Scobey, the editor of the Press, has
much to say through his paper about principle.
We showed up Joe's honest devotion to principle
in last weeks Herald in which We charged upon
him in the following language:
During the late session of the Legislature,
while acting as Clerk of the Assembly. and dur
ing the pending of the Kansas question, he was
a rampant Administration man. Upon returning g
home after tho session. and finding difference Of
opinion, among the Democrats Of tho county,
upon the subject. he sung small until he could
ascertain who were the strongest. He concluded
to be candidate for County Clerk, and prote
into the upper part Of the county to ascertain
,chich aD0uld be the strongest side to be on for
man ,ch0 intended to be a candidate before
the Democracy" He afterwards took an cleo
tloneering tour In the same section Of the coun-
traton as suited the views of the men be met.
And thus he played his hand until q few weeks be-
fore the County Convention, when being cornered
by Nation nj Democrats, he was compelled to take
o position, which he did against the Administra.
tion."
At Gold Hill, on Saturday evening last, Scobey
denied our charge in reference to writing to the
upper part Of the county, as indicated by the
above italics, and demanded if he had so written
why the letter was not published.
He considered himself safe in denying the
charge in the belief that we could not produce
the letter. We now reiterate the charge, and
have the proof to satisfy any man who is dispos
ed to doubt. The anxious inquiry of that letter
was, "Will to be a Douglas man, defeat nomina
tion! Will, to be on administration man, produce
that result! Please give me your view of thi.
matter, not for public currency, but for my indi
vidual benefit. lam anxious to ,cin the fight 70,
County CIerkship."
| This is Scobey's devotion to principle!

The Canvass.

The political canvass is going forward
with much spirit in all parts of the county.
Political speaking and private electioneering
is the order Of the day. The different can
ddatss and their friends are working with
much zeal, and from the interest taken, it
may be expected that full vote will be
polled upon election day.
Messrs. Anderson and Barclay addressed
the Democracy Of Yankee Jim's on Monday
evening, Of Forest Hill, Tuesday, Michigan
Bluff, Wednesday, Horse Shoe Bar on
Thursday, and spoke last night at Forest
Hill. Tonight they will speak at Iowa
Hill, and on Monday night at Dutch
Flat. Mr.. Stratton, who has been quite
unwell for some days, expects to be present
at some Of the appointments. Messrs. An
derson and Barclay have had enthusiastic
meetings wherever they have gone. The
true Democracy are throughly aroused and
at work-doing yeomens service for the only
Democratic ticket in the field.
The Bogusites have Fitzsmmons, Scobey,
Tichenor, and Arnold on the stump and we
believe Ball is trying to do something in the
same line, but it is up hill work with them.
The people are against them, they feel it,
and tremble for the result at the balot.b
Although the Republican leaders have ill.,
dorsed the Bogus ticket, their orators have
not taken the stump in its favor. They are
believed to be at work, endeavoring to drill
the rank and file to support the ticket.
The Americans are busy electioneering,
hut do no speaking, unless it be Mr.. Woos-
ter, who, we understand, made some remarks
st Forest Hill; being there by invitation of
our Senatorial candidate, Mr.. Anderson.

CALIFORNIA; s Brave Young Senator.

On Tuesday, in the Democratic Legislative
Nominating Convention, at San Francisco,
Mr. Patrick Hunt stated that in convention,
Senator Broderck had told him that he
would recognize no man, socially or poli,i-
ca'y, who was not opposed TO the Lecomp
ton Constitution. II replied" continued
Mr.. Hunt, "that my object was to break
up the Vigilance and Peoples organization
politically" Mr.. Broderick then remarked,
$50 far as the Vigilance Committee is con-
cerned, never gave them one dollar, and
do not care if they were TO rise up to-
morrow and hang Mr. Buchanan
This is the gallant Senator of California.
His great soul would rejoice to see the VEN
cradle and respected Chief Magistrate of this
Union hung by the Vigilance Committee.
California has cause to blush for her unwor-
thy representative.

cobey's devotion to principle!

E% A stupid correspondent in last weeks
Press, writing from Dutch Flat, against Mr..
Stratton, among other silly charges says,
that gentleman, while in the Legislature,
voted for Lees unjust mob bill. 1t is only
necessary to say to every attentive and
intelligent reader Of last winters Legislative
proceedings, that Lees bill never came to
a vote in the House. So much for the ve-
racious correspondent Of the Press.

Progress Of the Bogus Candidates for
Congress.

AS the would.be Congressman, McKbben
and Dudley, have devoted an unusual share
Of attention to the county of Placer, it is
proper the success of their efforts should
be heralded forth. From Auburn, Mr.. Me-
Kibben went to Dutch Flat, aud Mr.. Dudley
to Iowa HILL McKibben found some half
dozen sympathisers at the Flat, and did sue
ceed in having chairman for his meeting.
He was followed by Mr.. Stratton, our nom
inee for the Assembly, who, as we are in
formed, showed up Nc in no enviabIe light
At Iowa Hill, Mr.. Dudley commenced
speaking with an audience of about two
hundred, and such moving appeals did he
make to them to sustain him and his faction
in their treachery to the Democratic party,
that by the close of his remarks, there were
just fifteen persons about the stand.
From Dutch Flat Mr.. McKibben proceed
ed to Yankee Jim's, where not one man
could be found to act as chairman Of his
meeting, and he was indebted to the courte-
sy of Col Mcclure, an unwavering National
Democrat, for an introduction to the assem-
bed meeting.
From Iowa Hill, Mr.. Dudley visited Mich
gan Bluff, and he experienced the same
difficulty. No one could be found to act as
chairman for him. in that popuus precinct,
and he spoke without one-being introduced
to the crowd by National Democrat.
These are facts that cannot be denied; and
show conclusively rhe feeling among the
Democracy of Yankee Jim's and Michigan
Bluff. There are no deserters, no bogusites
among them; and about the only votes that
the bogus candidates for Congress, and the
bogus county ticket will receive at those
nlares will Iva from the Rlack Renublicans

TRACY IN AUBURN.-F. p. Tracy, the "big
Injun" Of the Republican party spoke in this
place on Wednesday evening. His party
burned one small pine box in honor Of the
occasion. He played upon the same notes
of the Kansas humbug as McKibbcn and
Dudley on the previous week. He had also
much TO say against the administration of
Mr.. Buchanan because the Pacific Railroad
is not in rapid process of construction, but
failed to inform his audience that under the
auspices of the Administration, four great
overland stage mail routes have been estab.
lished, which, as every sensible and honest
man will admit, are the pioneers Of the rail-
roads that will certainly follow. Mr.. Tracy,
in his remarks, established himself as bitter
sectionalist, and constantly in hunt Of the
"nigger in the fence"
His speech did not add one recruit to the
t,centy Republicans that still remain in Au-
burn.
