Politics in City Elections.

We claim for the PEOPLES ANTl-LE-
COMPTON DEMOCRATIC PARTY, that
they desire, in the approaching election, to
subserve the interests of the city of Marys-
vile first. and that being attended to, that
they desire to see an expression of public
sentiment upon the great political question
of the dav, to wit. whether the government
of each State and Territory shall be controlled
by the majority or by the minority whether
the President of the United States is King,
or the servant Of the PEOPLE who elected
him; whether the breaking of pledges by a
President shall be forgiven, without any eX-
preston of disapprobation, or whether P"6S'c
officers shall be held to a strict accountability
to the PEOPLEl If the party can be defeat
ed in Marysville, by honest votes, the sooner
we ascertain the fact the better it will be
That it cannot be so defeated is as certain as
that the Lecomptonite cabal in the city are
gloomy and desponding. Our ticket is made
up of good men, and men who are compe-
tent and honest The PEOPLE will speak
on election day, and we have no forebodng:
as to the result The glory Of federal tri-
umphs is fading, and the mercensry leaders
Of the minority are about to re-
ceive a rebuke in Marysville, which will
strike terror to the hearts Of the Lecompton.

A Question of Privilege.

The very fastidious, highly classical, ex-
cecdingly truthful and highly democratic or
gan, which should be called the Bugle, Tin
honor of the campaign paper of that name
once published in this State, and edited by a
certain tenirant scribbler, not necessary to
be named,) but which is known as the Ex.
press, puts on the honest indignant and be-
rates the poor inexperienced pro. TEN. of this
paper in terms of wrath for having shown a
want of respect for the gray locks and the
smile perpetual Of the veteran bolter who,
after having been County Assessor four years
County Recorder two years, Mayor one year,
and Alderman one year, now asks the "most
sweet voices" of our voters that he may be
Mayor again. The Bugle finds some hideous
mangling Of private character in our good
nstured and entirely legitimate pleasantly
concerning Col. Tompkins' susceptibility. We
regret sincerely that our remarks should be
so misconstrued. We beg leave to inform
the Editor of the Bugle, and also Mr.. Mix
Poadunk, (who attacks us in a spirited COM
munication) that we yield to none in our re-
gard for Col Tompkins as a private citizen.
We knew him nine years ago in this very
city, when he was seeking office as he is now.
We know and can testify that he is an up
right man in all bis dealings. Nobody ques.
tions that. These are political times, and
irresponsible young men" Qike the Bugle
man and ourself will talk and will scribble
We said that Col Tompkins was a Folsom
Railroad man. We reiterate it, We have
said that he was susceptible. That's com
pliment We said we thought young lady
could induce him to leave the field. If he is
n gallant Colonel he could be so induced
if he is not, we take it back Here is the
whole head and front of our offending" Is
it good cause for the course pursued by the
Bugle man, viz; the calling in of q spiritual
communication from the late lamented Poa-
dunk to assist in demolshing us?
Col. Tompkins is in the political field, a
candidate for Mayor. Some persons iu Ma
rysville take the liberty to prefer Judge
singer LOT that position. Neither the editor
in chief, nor the writer of this, nor the pro-
prietors of the DEMOCRAT are in favor of Ccl.
Tompkins for Mayor. The Colonel never
dreamed that We should go for him. The
DEMOCRAT is not of his political faith Is
there anything remarkable about this? We
shall not ask the Buglcs advice, however.
We shall oppose the Bogus Folsom Railroad
Lecompton ticket with our best efforts, and
shall endeavor to tell the truth, the vHole
truth, and nothing but the truth in regard to
Col. S. c. ompkins-Poadunk and the dis.
tinguished editor of the Bugle to the contra
ry notwithstanding. Meanwhile, we sub
nit to sensible people, that we have in no
manner intruded upon the privileges of old
age, and protest that we never intend to
do so.

No DouBr OF Ir.-The Mountain Demo
crat, in its last issue, contains the following
truthful evidence of the unfaltering devotion
of Senator Gwin to the interests of Califor-
MIA in the matter of the Pacific Railroad bill ::
"a distinguished U. S. Senator, whose
name is in the mouths Of the politicians
throughout the Union, in letter to us under
date of Washington, Feb. 3, 1859 says: No
blame attaches to Senator G win for the de-
feat of the Pacific Railroad Bill consulted
with him frequently, and know that his
heart was in the measure. Early and late,
with sleeplese vigilance and indomitable per,
severance, he watched its course and urged
its passage. Had others, professedly in favor
of it, been as sincere and Jealous as Gwin. it
would not have been defeated. | hope the

Of course! Gwin was for "any and all

LAWS APPRovED,-The number Of laws
passed and approved this session, and on
file in the Secretary of States office, says the
Union, is one hundred and three. The mum.
Der of laws passed and approved by the last
Legislature up to the Sth of March was sixty
five-showing difference of thirty-esght in
favor of the present law-making power
This difference, however, is rather against
the people than otherwise, since ninety nine

ness which called the Legislature together

WHAT BECOMES OF THE PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.
1t seems that a regular and profitable bus
mess has been carried on in Washington for
years by old booksellers, in Congressional
documents intended for gratuitous distribu-
tion among the people. The documents are
purchased fresh from the press AS an in
stance Of the abuses, the Patent Office reports,
costing the Government sixty cents, are re-
tailed by the booksellers at fifteen cents

culpable negligence or misapplcation of

Galloway, Esq, having declined being a
candidate for Alderman in the First Ward,
the Committee for that Ward on last evening

EB- We met Col Tompkins' smiling face
yesterday and could not discover any sign of
sympathy with the attempted display
of feeling which the Express gave veut to in
its last issue. We are glad to note this. for
it is simply corroboratiye of our previously
formed opinion, viz that when Col. Tomp.
kins goes into fight he expects to encounter
opposition, and to meet it with sensible good
nature. As long as the Colonel does not
quarrel with us, it is foolish in the extreme
for Others to do So

IMPORTED VorEs.-W warn the friends of
right and justice to be watchful, and try and
get proofs upon the criminal attempt, which
there is good reason to fear will be made by
the opposition, to import votes. This is no
idle caution. The enemy is active and un-
scrupulous. We ask no outside aid, and in
tend to combat all efforts of the Lecompton-
ties to secure any. Let the PEOPLE O.

to break down almost at the outset. This
