GOLD SPRING, Nov. l6, 1859.
MEssRs. EDIToRs: Much more interest il be.
ing manifested in this vicinity in the approach.
ing election than anticipated when the Ten.
trail Committee, very properly, nominated a
candidate. Some dissatisfaction was at first
expressed at the defeat of our favoritc. and Mt.
tempts were made by certain parties, whom
1t Is unnecessary to name, and who had poor
opinion Of our Democracy, to breed disaifec.
ton in our ranks. am happy TO inform you
their patriotic efforts failed. We have an
abiding faith In the principals OF the Democrat
ic party, and the only way to carry out those
principles is to maintain the organization Of
the party. lie who disturbs its harmony or
weakens its efficiency cannot be Democrat
from principle Even admitting that the pro-
ccedings of the Committee were slightly irreg.
ular, does that justify Democrat for voting
or cOvertly electioneering against his partyy
Did they presume to ignore any Of the prnci-
pies OF the party, or act contrary to its usages
Most assuredly not. The Democracy of Cold
Spring think it in exceeding bad taste, dis
courteous and unjust for one member of the
Committee to question the motives of the 9TH
er members, whose services in the good cause
and whose devotion to principle will compare
favorable with his own. They cannot believe
that good and true Democrats, without aspi-
ratiOns, would recklessly sacrifice the Demo
cratic party to crafty personal aims. Their
past history is sufficient answer to such an
unworthy insinuation. doubt If ten Demo
Gratis in the county supposed the Committee
would call Convention, or thought it neccs-
sary. Few if any were disappointed at their
making a nomination. That some were dis
satisfied with the nominee am free to admit;
but could they have nominated any man who
would have been acceptable to all parties and
portions Of our cOuntyy think not. Take
our own Township for example: we wanted
Mr.. Jones; Gold Hill, Capt McCausland, and
Coloma and UniontOwn Mr.. IIawley. The
nomination Of either would have been objected
to by the friends of the defeated aspirants.-
But it is useless to discuss this further
We are for Capt. Rock. If we cannot give
him an undivided we will at least give him an
enthusiastic support. We may not poll Us
large vote as We did last September, because
some Of our boys have gone away, but we Will
try tn, We have still those sterling and I'M
ilinching Democrats, Gfiin and Jones, with
us, to lead us on aud encourage us by their
example They are neither offended nor luke
warm. They are made of stcrner stuff than
to renourcc their principles and encourage
Mr.. Conncss, because the Committee acted
contrary to their wishes and feelings. They
cannot SEE any sense or propriety in punish
ing their friends, nor any Democracy in op-
posing the regulHr nominee Of tie purity and
voting for the leader of the Opposition. 1t
may suit others to do so, but not the Dcmoc-
racy Of COLD SPRING.
Mountain Democrat. [volume] (Placerville, El Dorado Co., Cal.) 1854-1860, 1859-11-19

Of the past' We think it is the duty Of Dem.
ocrats to support the nominee Of their party
those who think and act differently may see
in the record of the past their future history
wildly recorded.
IT, Democrat" alludes to US in the closing
sentence of his communication be does us
great injustice. We have never denounced
the Democracy of Costumes Township. We
have never spoken of them in terms other than
commentator. Not one line, word or sylla.
BILE, in the columns of the DEMOCRAT, can he
find, derogatory to their character or their
Democracy. If Others have denounced them
it is no fault of ours, nor do we wish to be,
nor should We be held accountable for their
sins.

The Big Tree Route to Carson Valley is
closed for the present. Parties who started to
return to Calaveras county over that route
were forced to retrace their steps, the deep
SHOWS having rendered it impossible, and take
the Placerville route. 1t was not matter of
choice but necessity. Mr.. Thompson, the fear
less and indomitablc old mountaineer, informs
US that teams that started on the routes north
were also forced to return, being unable to
make the trip. They were loaded with goods
belonging to merchants living in the Valley
The merchants requested Mr.. I. to have them
sent over the Placerville route. What better
or more convincing evidence is needed than
that furnished by the friends of rival routes in
favor Of the Paccrvic route, to prove that it
is the only practicable route in the winter sea-
son! Other routes muy compare favorably
with it in the summer season, but in the win
ter they are "friz up"

He Is too loyal Democrat to turn against his

because his favOrite did not receive the nomi.
nation. Capt. Rock is the regular nominee of
the Democratic party, is so regarded by all
who desire to preserve its organization, and
the men who contend that the Committee ex.

so merely to excuse their rOting against their
party. 1t is q flimsy one which will not
