TO the Bogus Democrat" of the Placer
Press.
MINERS RAv1NE, Nav 2lst 1s5e.

o0''0u q COMMUNICATION rom "Auburn Ra-
vine," signed Democrat" in which occurs
the following language:
III am well satisfied that large majority
OF the inhabitants of this county, as we'll as
the State, are heartily tired of this bogus
democratic rule, and that if something not
objectionable was presented, that they would
throw 1t Oft. AS an evidence, l refer to the
late election in Sacramento and Orovile."
Now, Mr.. Editor, like candor and homes
ty in all transactions in ife but the foregoing
extract suits me too well-because in the
first place it makes flimsy assertion, a con-
temptible insinua,ion that the Dem mocratic
party which now rules, and has ruled our
country for so many years, until it has be-
come the boast and pride of the civilized
world, is not what it pretends to be-; that it
Is hypocrite, counterfeit, "bogus Demo-
cracy," and would be repudiated by its mem
bers if something not Objectionable" were
presented. Where have YOU democrat"
obtained your data that majority of the
inhabitants of Placer are tired of Democratic
rule? Stand up and answer. Is your as
sertion not concoction of your own befog-
ged and befouled mind! In what have the
Democrats of this county given you license
to belle them, to msrepresent their true
position before the world, to speak as they
alone have the liberty to speak through the
ballot-box! believe you to be "logus" to
the back bone, hypocrite, a wooly. headed
Black Republican, a fit tool for abolition
agitators, an intermeddler into other peoples
affairs and as ignorant as an ass of the sub
lect upon which you pretend to write. 1
doubt whether you could correctly answer
the question as to what was the relative vote
of the three parties at the last election in
this county, and think your information is
far less as to their relative positions now.
democrat" also states that the majority
of the people of the State are tired of Demo
cratic rule, and in evidence refers to the re-
suit of the elections in Sacramento and Oro-
vile. Truly, l think "Democrat" has be-
come t1imsy again-even more so than his
assertion as to the public feeling in this coun-
ty. A man of sense or of sound Judgment.
surely would not come to so ridiculous
conclusion, that because two cities of the
State, jointly polling (at besD not over eight
thousand votes, are necessarily a criterion
for the result of State election to take place
three or four months hence, when, in all pro-
bability the popular vote Will be upwards of
a hundred thousand. The result of the cleo
tions in Sacramento and Orovile land will
also cite Marysv'lle and Stockton, to accom-
modate "Democrat') were not so very sur
prising to MS "ouside barbarians," when we
take into con i |cration the means (monev,)
and influences (ofices,) adopted to carry the
day--yea, to triumph once in while, to
create new party upon the broad platform
Of 'men not principle" party apparently
composed of all the tag, Tag and bobtail of
all the factions, fag-ends, remnants and rags
of all the isms aud parties, Except the true
National Democracy that have ever been
attempted to be established in California
Let no one talk Of the "wiId hunt afe
office" after this. The very startling evil
dence to which "Democrat" refers is truth
will cut" and evidences the disnterestness
of gentlemen who are eternally running
after new god" s"-otherwise forming new
parties.
"DemocraL" would like TO see "Peope's
ticket gotten up. Why this is as old
suggestion as "mother goose" would make.
Have seen many one in my life time, and
always saw it made up of men aspiring to
office. of would be- office holders, of rejected
members from other parties, of would be-
men of influence, and never saw any but
bogus Democrat recommend it, With men
of sense, a "people's ticket" has always been
known as a gull-trap, pirate under false
colors with cut-throat crew.
Now, Mr.. "Democrat in all kindness,
I advise you to starry in Jericho until your
beard groweth," until your wisdom teeth are
cut, until you learn little more of what
constitutes true Democracy, to tell the truth
we'll founded, to be careful what company
you get into before you again attempt to
vilify a party to which you are apparently
an apostate. Go, bury yourself into the
lowest prospect hole" on Auburn ravine,
and if the resurrecting trump of the angel
Gabriel should not reach you, sing out the
name of Van Buren and free dirt forever.

REcLAM1Nc CArrLE.-A grand gathering
of cattle belonging to owners in the vicinity
of Marysville took place week ago about five
miles from Bear river. A territory over fifteen
square miles was "canvassed," and about 5000
head Of cattle were collected together, within
the limits mentioned on the first day: on the
seconed day about l 500 head were driven
together. The owners of the stock then des-
signated them by their brands, when they
were separated and driven home. In one
instance six OF seven head of Spanish cattle
which had strayed distance Of thirty five
miles and had been absent for two years. were
obtained by their owner, at this rodeo This
system Of restoring to each man his property,
it is conventional arrangement among the
rancheros of California and prevents an end
less amount of litigation in relation to stray
cattle.
