The Convention having finished its bust
ness, loud calls were made for Judge Singer,
who came forward and delivered & brief but
'orcible speech, in which he showed up the
Lecomp,on renegades and traitors to the true
Democracy in an unenviable light His re-
marks were received with loud and enthusi-
astic applause.
Jessee o. Goodwin was next called for,
and responded in a few happy and we'll
timed remarks which were enthusiastically
received. Before retiring he informed the
Convention that Col. R. II. Taylor, of Sierra,
was present. and suggested that he be invit-
ed to address the Convention. Loud calls
were made for the gentleman named, and in
response he delivered one of the most elo-
luent, of-hand speeches we have ever had |
the pleasure of listening to- The Colonel |
said he felt at home in Marysville, for he had |
long been a resident of this city, and he felt |
particularly at home in Douglas Conven-
ton, for he there found the same principles
which were lodged in his own bosom. He
glanced at the present aspect of political
parties, and very clearly demonstrated in
which organization Democratic principles
were to be found. lie gave encouraging
news from the Mountains.
At the last election lie said the Douglas
orces were not properly rallied-they did
not have time to organize, before they were
called into the feld-false issues were raised
by their enemies and the name of Douglas
desecrated by a treacherous use of it 10y the
for their own most traitorous
purposes. At the next election the case will
be different The issue will be fairly and
fully understood-the Douglas hosts will be
thoroughly organized and disciplined and
will present united front on the field Of bat
tie And when the war cry is sounded of
" A Douglas to the frag" there will come a
reply like roar of thunder from the homes
of the free-born mountain men that will
make Lecomptonism quake to its center.
The Convention then adjourned brimful
of enthusiasm and determined upon maintain
ing the glory of the proud old Democratic
flag at the hazard of their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honor.
Candidates of the Democracy.
