THE CAMpA1GN.-Above we publish the
Platform of the National Democracy of
California. Let every one read and ponder
it we'll. 1t is the enunciation Of the party
in this State, and the Democracy will stand
by it freely and fearessly. We also publish
the appointments of Messrs. Latham and
Burch for the canvass. 1t will be seen that
these STANDARD bearers Of the Democratic
party commence the campaign on the 18th
inst, at Yreka, in the extreme northern
portion of the State, and then continue the
canvass until the ides of September next,
when our opponents may expect to be glori-
ously beaten throughout the borders of Cali.
forna, We presume that other appoint
msnis will 10 published in a fey days, by
prominent democrats, and we have no doubt
the State will be thoroughly canvassed. pre-.

Our NOMINATIONS for State of,cers.

The struggles between aspirants has pass
ed, and now we shall see these opponents
side by side, the victor and the defeated
generously emulating each other in the en-
deavor to crown with victory our standard
bearers. The heat Of other rivalry has pas
sed away, there is now but the one common
thought existing in the heart Of the democra-
cy,-what can be done to advance the great
principles of the party. Upon which the
welfare Of the county mainly depends. 1t
will be ever thus with combination of men,
in which principle is the ruling motive for
action. Men become as nothing before the
grea: objects Of the party,-the party is
formed and upheld because its labors and
conquests are the benefit of the masses. In
cidentally the standard bearer receives a
more direct personal advantage, in being the
recipient of this party favor. That is bis
good fortune, but with it comes a response
bili:y that be must reigiously respect-he
must fulfil the objects for which he was pro-
NOTED, or fail of his honors.
Our candidate for Governor, Mr.. Latham,
in his speech, before the Convention, when
returning thanks for his nomination, has
given to the public the motto under which
he will fight He says:
81 stand by the principle Of Popular Sow
ereignty and non-intervention ss they were
laid down by the Kansas. Nebraska Bill Of
1854. [Cheers. stand by the Cincinnati
Platform. Cheers. stand by the Ad-
mnstration of James Buchanan. Loud and
continued cheering.] And, above all these,
stand by the union and integrity of the
Democratic party, as feel that upon the
success of the principles Of our party depends
the happiness and prosperity of our beloved
and common country. [Chee's.
Right nobly will he do battle under the
banner the democracy have entrusted to his
keeping, with such leader, supported as
he is by an array Of talent and character in
the other nominees cannot fail to ensure at
least majority of ten thousand votes.

That Terrible Duel.

EF- The Sacramento Union and the
rest of the republican papers in this State,
insinuate that it is desirable on the part Of
Democrats to originate difficulties with Brod-
erick in order to have him killed off, and
hence conclude that the difficulty between
him and Mr.. Perey had political origin.
Mr.. =. as appears by Brodericks showing is
an Englishman, which connected with the
fact that our youthful and brave Senator" is
professed duelist makes the intimation of
these republicans laughably absurd. The
democracy of California do not desire to
have "Dave" put out of sight in this sum-
mary manner. No, they hope he may live,
and be vouchsafed the years of Methusalah,
that they may be able to point to him AS a
living monument Of political treachery, con-
summate meanness, and successful stupidity.
We regret the Editor of this paper is
sick, for we know he is better able to do the
"subject Justice"

Thew Lack Timber.

In our last issue we published letter from
Thos. p. Slade, Esq, declining to be con
sidered candidate on the Bogus ticket. We
have also heard Mr.. Franks express himself
to the same effect. Both of these gentlemen
are members of the American party,-there
fore have no "felow feeling" or affiliation
with the abolition Broderck democracy of
this county. In fact it is scurvey associ-
alton at best-no "back bone" to it, nothing
in it. In this county it can hardly survive
the dog days.
We can see nothing that is digni6ed in
this way of nominating men of another par
ty with the hope of having them indorsed
by their own political associates, and thus
secure political combination on men, to
the detriment of the principles of either one
or the other parties. But drowning men will
catch at straws. This seems to be the only
hope of the abolition-,bogusites, who op-
pose the National Democracy in this county.
Yet even in this they have made a perfect
failure; ard will be compelled to cast about
them for men to fill the vacancies, or else
run bob tailed legislative ticket. Can they
find men who are so foolish as to permit
their names to be run on "such' a ticket!
We have friend who has a "Fool Killers
Book" and we must say if there are any
men in Placer County foolish enough to fill
the vacancies of Slade and Franks, they de-
serve to be recorded on the first page of that
voluminous volume.

The Broderick-Perley piflculty.

The public few days since was on tip-toe
10 relation to a reported duel between D: w.
Perley and d. c. Broderick, but the latter
having preemptorily declined we presume tho
matter will end.
1t seems on Monday last at the breakfast
table, at the International HOTEL San Fran.
CISCO and in the presence of ladies, Mr.. B..
grossly insulted Mr.. Perley. The time and
place prevented an immediate resentment by
Mr.. p, as soon as he could procure friend
he sent Broderick challenge, which was
declined, giving among other reasons the
following:
"Your own sense of propriety should have
taught you that the positions we relatively
occupy are so different as to forbid my ac-
ceptance of your challenge"
Thus it will be seen that David throws
himself upon his dignity and his Senatorial
position.
As conclusive Of this we find further on
in bis letter of refbsal this elevated express
sion:
eff. compelled to accept challenge it
could only be with gentleman holding a
position equally elevated and responsible,
(wonder if he wants to fight the old Doctor,
and the rest of the United States Senate,)
and there are no circumstances which could
induce me even to do this during the pen
dency of the present canvass"
So we 90. This is a mere tit-bit for the
public appetite. When shall we have anoth-
er?
HEUsToN, HASTINGS & Cot will be
noticed that this firm has a new advertise
ment in to-day's issue of the Herald. They
say they have the best Of everything in
their line kept in the market We used to
doubt it, but they have convinced us so often
of the fact, that we have been compelled to
acknowledge the "korn" Call and see.
Ir SHOULD BE CoRREcrED.-Some OF our
subscribers at Forest Hill complain that the.
Herald is not received, until Tuesday or We'd
nesday after its publication, at that place.
We are informed by Mr.. Palmer, of Wells,
Fargo e. Co., at this place, that the Herald
is forwarded every Saturday at noon, and
should reach Forest Hill, the same evening.
The fault must be at some office on the
way. Will the gentlemanly agents Of Wells,

Railroad Notice.

In another column will be found the
"Notice" of the Treasurer Mr.. Jackson, of
the railroad Company now forming at Au-
burn, to meet at the Court House on the
22nd of this month, for the purpose Of a
permanent organization of the Company.
1t is to lie hoped that every stockholder
will be present and take part in the organi-
zation of the Company.
We hesitate not to tell our citizens if the
proper interest is manifested and reasona-
bic amount of diligence used, we can have
the Railroad completed to this place within
the next eighteen months. We know there
are some who are skeptical in regard to the
matter-but that is matter of little conse-
quence, all we have to do is to prove to cap
italists and railroad men that it is practical
bic, and we can get the road built. That it
will be good paying investment, we all
know. Wehave now over $4,000 subscrib-
ed, and we hope by the 18th Of this month
every subscriber will come up manfuly to
the work and pay in his five per cent to Mr..
Jackson the Treasurer, so that The Company
will be enabled to 60 forward and organize
without delay. 1t is the interest of all our
citizens, and every stockhoIder that it should
be done. The sooner we have the Company
organized and proper surveys made the bet
ter. This is self evident, and we doubt not
from the spirit manifested in our community
but that it will be done. Then, we say
again, let all the stockholders pay in their
first instalment on the 18th inst, and let the
railroad movement be pushed forward vigor-
ously.
