A Word 70 Democrats.

The election takes place one week from to-
day. and the result will be determined before
another issue of the DEMOCRAT reaches many of
our subscribers We cannot too strongly i'm
press upon the mind of every Popular Sovc-
reignty Democrat the necessity Of contributing
his mite towards the maintenance of Democrat
ic principles. There are many who are still
undecided how they will vote. Let every true
Democrat In the county make it his business TO
secure the vote of at least one undecided friend
and such majority will be rolled up as will
teach the violators of the Cincinnati Platform
that they cannot carry the people with them in
their crusade against Democratic principles.
We have every incentive TO use the most un
firing exertions. Our principles ard platform
are the same as those for which we battled in
1856; not word erased, nor plank removed.
Our county ticket is good one; the nominees
are all consistent Democrats of the old school
and in point of ability and fitness are immeas-
urably superior to their opponents. We have
taken much pains to ascertain the probable re-
suit in the county and are satisfied that every
candidate upon our county ticket will be elect
ed; they cannot be defeated except by the most
objectionable supineness on the part of friends
Let every Democrat, therefore. work on the
day Of election as though the result depended
on his individual exertons.

Tho District Judgeship.

The Democratic Central Committee Of Ne
vada county, met on Saturday last, and nomi-
mated COL r. II. Taylor, of Downieville, for
District Judge of the Fourteenth District. The
Democratic County Convention of Sierra had
already unanimously endorsed Col. Taylor for
the position, and as there was not time TO hold
q District Convention, we trust the action Of
our Central Committee will be endorsed by the
voters "f the county. Col. Taylor is gentle
man of fine literary attainments, an excellent
lawyer, o sound Democrat, untainted with any
of the isms of the day, aud every way qualified
for the responsible and important position Of
District Judge. 1t is mooted question as to
whether or not the successful candidate will be
entitled to wear the judicial robes, but the Gov
ernor has ordered an election for this District,
and II is proper to vote for a candidate in order
that the question may be settled by the Su-
preme Court.
Judge Searls. the present incumbent, has Civ
en- very good satisfaction to the people of the
District; but he was elected as a Know Moth
ing, and has been identified with that party un-
I'll about three weeks since. when he transferred
his allegiance from the Know Nothing to the
Lecompton party. Such being the case, it
would be requiring too much of Democrats to
ask them to give him their support.

The Popular sovere,pntv Plank

The Lecomptonites profess TO believe in the
doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. IN their late
State Convention they adopted the following
resolution, which we must regard as the Popu-
lar Sovereignty plank of their platform, as it is
the only resolution having any bearing on the
question. 1t is the last resolution in the latest
revised edition of their platform:
Resord, That recognize the right of the people of
each State and Territory, when deSired by them to
vote upon the adoption rejection of their fundam
law but we hold that belongs not to the Congress of the
United states, but to the people themselves, speaking
through their represe tatves say whether they
do or do not desire to exercise such right
In other words, the people have right to
vote for the adoption of their fundamen tai law,
unless their representatives say they shall not.
This is Popular Sovereignty with vengeance.
1t is well that honest voters should take notice
how artfully the resolution is worded 1t sets
out with the assertion that the people have a
right to vote on their Constitution if SO desired
by them; but instead of leaving it with the peo-
pie to say what they desire, it is left with their
representatives.
The above resolution was adopted in the Le-
compton Convention by vote of 2O2 TO 65,
and those who voted in the negative were de.
nounced by the mover of the resolution as
Black Republicans. From this it would seem
there is Black Republican wing of the lie.

ARRIVAL OF THE SALT LAKE MAIL.-The mail
stage from Salt Lake arrived at Placerville, at
four O'Clock, last Saturday afternoon. The re-
ported massacre of the mail party, near Grav-
ely Ford proves to have been hoax. The
Indians are reported to be unusually peaceable.
Many trains of immigrants are reported to be
on the way from the Atlantic States. AT Salt
Lake, every thing was quiet. and the Mormons
are returning and taking possession of their
deserted habitations. The U. S. troops are
camped at Cedar Valley. about thirty five miles
this side of the city. The mail left Salt Lake
on the OH of August, and made the trip to Pla.
cerville in ten days. travelling time. The car.
rier is confident that the trip can be made in
from eight to ten days. the year round.

A LIE NAuED.-A statement has been pub
lished in several Lecoinpton sheets, to the ef-
feet that Mr. McKibben assured Mr.. Cummings,
delegate in the Republican State Convention,
that the Douglas Democracy aud Repu blicans
would be together in less than year. The
statement is a falsthood, and known to be such
when it was published. Mr.. Cummings, it
seems had spoken to Mr.. McKibben about Civ
ing him the Republican nomination, to which
McKibben replied: "For Gods sake let me
alone. don't want your nomination, nor any
thing to do with your party. We are far
enough apart in the Democratic party now,
but If you let us alone we shall be together
within year." Mr.. Cummings repeated these
words, in the Republican Convention. as an ar
gument against the nomination of McKihben;
but the expression having been misunderstood
by some. he afterwards explained that McKib-
ben meant that the Democracy would be to-
gether within year.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-08-25

WHAT THEY THINK OF HIM-We heard prom
inent LecomptOnite express the hope, the other
day, that Douglas would be defeated in Illi-
nois, and that Lincoln, the Republican candi-
date would be elected TO the Senate in mis- place.
We believe that such is the wish of nearly all
the Lecompton leaders. though at present, from
motives of policy they may conceal their real
feelings. They now pretend that they agree
with Douglas, but as soon as the election is
over the mask will be thrown of, and be will
again be denounced by every pap-eating Fed
erai official in the State. All the papers
throughout the Atlantic States, which can be
controlled Ly the administration, with the
Washington Union at their heat, are now de-
nouncing Douglas in the most bitter terms, and
they profess to recognize the boilers in Illinois,
who are leagued with the Republicans to de-
feat the champion of Popular Sovereignty, as
the true Democracy. The professions of the
Lecomptonites, that they agree with Senator
Douglas is nothing but an electioneerng Jug
gle used 10 catch votes.

SAN Francisco PoLTrIcs.-The delegates el.
ected to the San Francisco Legislative Conven-
tion met on Thursday evening last, and organ
lied. A series of resolutions were introduced
approving of the platform adopted by the late
Popular Sovereignty State Convention aud en-
dorsing the nominees for State officers. The
resolutions were adopted by vote of thirty
six 10 seventeen, and the Convention adjourned
until Saturday. After the adjournment the
seventeen who voted against the resolutions.
organized q separate Convention and proceed
ed to make nominations. Strange enough, the
Herald and National. those sticklers for regular
party organizations, call the thrty-six dele
gates the "bolters," aud the seventeen who
would not submit to the action of the majority,
the "true Democrats" With those papers, ev-
cry one is bOlter who will not swallow the
heretical doctrines of the LecomptOn English
party.

Eraser river Correspondence.

FORT LANGLY, aug. otD. 1895.
EprroR DEMocRAT.-I arrived at this place
three days ago, over land from Simiahmoo Bay,
in company with seven other Californians. We
met With much difficulty in finding the way,
there being no marks by which TO be governed
except dim Indian trail that no white man
could follow City yards without losing; and our
Indian guide having deserted us, we of course
got lost, In q wilderness that for fallen timber
and under growth exceeds anything that can
be found even ir Central America. We fought
our way through mosquitoes and under brush
for two days, during which time do not think
we walked one hour on the ground, so thick
was the fallen timber. Some of our company
had, in consideration of the short distance
across, loaded themselves down with blankets,
cooking utensils and clothng but about noon
the first day they began to open their packs
and take few articles of the least value and
throw them away, and by the second day at
noon we had left in the woods every thing ex-
cept one pair of blankets each, and the clothes
we had on.
We saw frequent signs of lost men while in
of blankets and cooking utensils, with which we
found the following note:
II died Of starvation, having been three days
without food. or water. J. II. DnLIsoN.
Sacramento, July 9th 1853"
We saw no further signs OF the man either dead
or alive, but this is not strange. as the woods
are full of wild and feroci0us animals capable
of carrying off man of the largest size with
the greatest ease.
We arrived here late in the evening of the
second day. with our clothes torn into shrcds.
and half starved. for we had expected to get
through in six hours at most, as the distance is
only seventeen miles, and therefore took little
or no provision with us.
The river has fallen several feet. but it is not
sufficiently low for the miners to work to ad-
vantage, and l am inclined TO think that they
will not get properly into the river until the
cold weather sets in as there is a large quaint
ty of snow on the mountains, aud as long as il
continues to melt the river will continue TO rise
and fall as it has been doing for the last two
months. There are few companies at work
on the high bars about Fort Yale, some of whom
al: dong pretty well, while all those who went
above the first cafiun have been robbed of all
they had and driven back destitute, by the In.
dians, who say that the "Bostons" shall moi
have the gold above the first caflon. Much diff
Guilty with the Indians is anticipated. and must
eventually come. A man came down from the
canon last night, who proposes to raise COM
pany of one hundred men to punish the Indians
above the ca6on, aud if he succeeds the war
begins, but it is hard to tell when and how it
will end it will be no child's play TO conquer
them. A white man was arrested a few miles
below here yesterday. and placed in the lock-
up within the walls of the Fort, and his goods
taken from him, FOR selling liquor to the Indi-
ans. He will be sent to Victoria for trial by
to-dsy's steamer. l. b. ELLISON. e
