Correspondence Of the Democrat.
GARDEN VALLEY, Nov. Q, 1859.
MyssRs. EDIrORs: As" Junior" first had the
hlcI Arc Of introducing to the public, Capt A.
y. Rock as gentleman we'll qualified to fill
lhc t.cancy in the Assembly delegation,
caused by the death Of Col. ThOs. Robertson,
you will now allow him, through the columns
ii your truly Democratic journal, the equal
pleasure Of endorsing his nomination by the
central Committee; and; at the same time, Sc
l:ously urge his claims upon the Democratic
Aotcrs Of the county. II can well and truth
fully be said, that Capt. Rock fully comes up
10 the JciFerSonian test he Is honest and ca.
pablo, aud il elected will not only reflect credit
upon our delegation but will do all in his
power to advance the interests Of the State and
his county, in particular. 1t has been urged
against him, that he is no speaker. tits true
he is not brilliant speaker, neither docs he
claim to be. So much the better for this His
time will not be spent:.in making buncombe
speeches, dL IyinS action upon important bills,
'erilg anendm .nts to this and that, &c. but
he will be found in the Committee room. 1t
is there his power, influence and Intelligence
will be felt and required; it is there laws for
the protection and benefit Of constituents are
discussed and matured II is there bills receive
that calm, deliberate and close investigation
they so much require Fer all this business,
for the CMii~ business Of Legislator, the
IropIc in this section Of the county think Capt
\. H. Rock cmincntly fitted and qualified.
Now few words Of Ulyicc to the voters Of
FL Dorado county, and pNrtie"'ar'y to the
members elect to the Legislature II is your
duty to bring ont the entire strength Of the
party On the day Of election; use time, energy
a4l di erection in urging upon Democrats the
necessity Of voting a. the approaching election.
The people expect this much from the mcrn
bcrs elect We want no slln delegation, for
Ihc very reason, thai IL such be the caSc, the
interests oC the coEuty will Lc neglected. Cor
a d.,c-atiSH IN a leg stature 20 receive respect
and exercise inESeNcc, tits necessary fnr thcm
~ act in concert and union, TN enable the
members cleet Ia show = consistent record.
r,rncy. they should Use all honorable means
No IEcVunt conflicting elements and interest,"
in th,r ranks There is not one Of the FL DO.
ralo Senators or Representatives, but what
has i, sire 10 have il said in the future, when
he was cur servant he acted faithfully and in.
Ilustriou>ly for the benefit Of the county
NoW this 1c,;rc cannot be gratitcd if our del.
"Gation is composed Of conflicting opinions.
As another reason why We should use extra
efforts, we are told and may expect, that the
Republicans will place in nomination their
scSt man, and who will call out the attire
vote Of the opposition. 1t is even intimatcd
that a prominent gentleman in Georgetown,
who, from the drillinSG he received from john
Curry while making the race for Lieutenant
Governor. aud his Associations with him du.
ring the last trip they took up Salt River, has
declared his intention 10 accept the nomination
for the petty Office Of AS>cnblyman. Oh . what
fallnS of is here. \ few months ago moth
him; now he is willing, perfectly willing, TO
hrcu,nc a high private in the lower House
iloVcy"r. he has Travelled NJ Salt River so often
SO LL.i,inr is he with the Chnnntl, that
presume he j. about the hest selection that
could be made in the county for a single
N"yagcr. We hope to hear the remainder Of
his fate from "Docskns in few days after
thc election. Yours. JUNIOR.
