The Tactics of the Enemy.

The opposition to the Democracy in the
present canvass seemed to have agreed fully
upon their tactics, which consists in bold, un..
scrudulous assertion, without regard to Ell
ther truth or consistency. They have de-
termined to win, no matter how; and seeing
no chance for success by adherng to fairness
and Truth, they have chosen the desperate
alternative of Icing their way to victory
The press has given the cue-commencing
with the Sacramento Union and folowd by
all the organs in the State acknowledging its
lead. A stronger evidence of a bad cause,
than this guerrilla mode of warfare could
not be given, and shows 10 what desperate
straights the pie-bald opposition is driven.
To the National Democracy, who believing
in the justice of their cause, and willing to
be judged by their record, invite the enemy
to an open field and fair fight, and are con-
tent to abide the result, these tactics will
prove particularly annoying. But FORUM
ately, in the good sense and discrimination
of the people of California strong protec-
ton is offered against the assassn-like thruss
that otherwise might injure the Democratic
party seriously in the contest.
The Sacramento Union, a paper that has
attained to more circulation than influence,
to bolster up a bad cause, has not hesitated
to make statements which have been pro
nounced utterly untrue
The Sacramento Mercury has made a
direct issue with the Union on a question
of veracity, which the "old lady" has not
dared to meet, but in return, puts up fur
ther claims to mendacty by declaring that
the Democratic State Convention indorsed
the "Archy" decision 1t is only necessary
to say that a more unbluahing falsehood
was never uttered
To the numerous readers of the Sacranen-
to Union throughout Placer county-two-
thirds of whom are Democrats-we would
say beware of the trust you repose in the
statements of that paper. 1t is the constant
and determined enemy of TIE Democratic
party,-and it now presumes upon its wide
spread circulation, to 60 into the present can
vass, and by unscrupulous statements, to de-
feat u.s.

First Arrival of the Overland Weekly

The first through overland mail arrived at
Pacerville on Saturday evening, August 7th
From Salt Lake the trip was mads in IL
days -Four persons came as passengers.
No trouble was experien' ed with the Indians.
The passengers had a talk with the Cheyume
Indians, who said they wished to be on
friendly terms with the whites.
In the vicinity of Salt Lake, harvesting
WAS gring forward vigorously.
The people are we'll pleased with Govern
or Cumming, but there is a growing cold
ness between the Mormons and lhe officers
of the Army. No pains is taken to conceal
their love towards each other.
1t is supposed that Brigham Young is still
in the city. 1t is so reported by those who
pretend to know
Orders have been sent forth amongst the
brethren that hereafter there is to be nc
more public preaching throughout the Ter
ritory.
Col Johnston was preparing to receive
Gen. Harvey, who shortly expected to ar
rive.
A number of desertions from the army

The Economy # Mr.. Buchanan Admin
iStratinn.

The S. +. Globe says the Black Republi-
cans are attempting to ma utacture capital
for the next Presidential campaign, by cir
cuIating Roorbacks in regard to the expen-
dlures of the Government. The charge of
extravagance cannot lie at the door of the
present administration. In every depart
ment the most rigid economy is being ob
served, and the treasury is closely guarded
by those two popular sentinels, Retrenrh-
ment and reform. The Washington Union
commenting upon the new dodge Of the Re
publicans, exposes its falsi;y as follows
The grand total of the appropriations OF
the misunderstanding all the expenses of
the Mormon EXPEDITION, estimated for eight
cen months in advance of JuIv proximo,
and all he Deficiencies of every sort for the
expenditures incurred by previous Congresse,
aggregate only siXty-eight millions; which
are tN elve or twenty miliion; less than those
which were authorized by the Black Repub-
lican Congress of 'j6-'7.
I'VE say that the first and leading branch
Of the Black Republican proect-that OF
running the appropriations OF the present
session of Congress to the enormous figures
Of ninety-two mi lions Of dolars-has thus
been nipped in the bud ty tie fir,nness aud
forecast Of the President: and thus, instead
OF their being able to charge in the approach
ing campaigns that he is experding ninety
to q hundred millions Of dollars in admins-
tering The government. he will he able to
show that his eypendt res for ordinary pur
poses, in the fiscal year 1850 will be but
little over fifty millions, and that these ex-
penditures united with the cxtraordinary ex
pendltures directed by Congress for the year.
will aggregate sum less than sixv-five mil
lions
Such is the result Of Mr.. uchanan's in
tlurnce on the action of his first Congress
In the next session it will be more decided;
and in the next still greater; until the close
of his tenn, if we should not become inyolv.
ed in a war with Great Britain, will show
the most economical administrator of the
government that has occurred during the
present generation.
"lf Congress but DO It's duty~as faithfully
AS Mr.. Buchanan will do his, there will be no
clamor at extravaganza: there will be no in
crease Of the tariff; there will be no pre,ext
for a "Peoples Party" fused of Black Re
public ans and Know Noth'ngs Not only
will Mr. Buchanan do his duty, but we think
he rs of the metal to hold Congress to its
duty; so that, on the whole we think the
country will be safe under his administration
from the whole brood cf evils which are
hatched of public extravaganza"

The FIRST FIzzLE.-A correspondent of
the Sacramento Nercury, writing from Mok-
elumne Hill, in relation to the Broderick
meeting at that place on Monday evening,
says it, was failure. Joe McKibhen failed
to raise spark Of enthusiasm in the crowd.
His talk fell like a dead weight He left
town early next morning. Dudley the 9TH
Congressional nominee of the "BrodS,' had
no better success than Joe The meeting
fzzled out long before bed time. Mokelumne

A VERY IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN-The Su
preme Court have made highly important
deciesion in regard to taxation of lands in the
new States and Territories. The public lands
belonging 20 the United States are not sub
ect to taxation, unit! the patent IS issued to
the purchaser and consequently no State or
territory has any right to levy a lax upon land
for which the purchaser has not yet received
his patent from the United States Govern
ment.
The decision will of necessity create much
commotion through the new Western States
There is no doubt but that many tax titles al
ready acpu red, will prove utterly worthless
under it.
The decision will, no doubt. be cause of
joy to those who during the few years past
bought Government land, and have not yet
received patents for it. But it will tend to
diminish the State revenue derived from the
taxation of such lands.

Ew The Broderick Republican presses of
the State are piping their shril voices over
the defunct Kansas question, to the entire
exclusion of all measures affecting State
and County interests. They have plenty of
time to intermeddle with the affairs of a
people competent to shape their own domes-
tic institutions, but not moment to the
growing interests and necessities of Caifnr-
MIA. They may expect, by such senseless
clamor, to lead the minds of men away from
the true issues in the present canvass, but
they will fail in their object Their dema-
gogueism is too apparent to deceive inteli-
