Mountain Democrat. [volume] (Placerville, El Dorado Co., Cal.) 1854-1860, 1859-11-12

PO' '""' Uu"eS ueFOVIhg on the Legislature
soon to assemble, is that of the election of ,
Senator to represent this State in the Congress,
OF the United States, for the next four years
This should be done without unnecessary de
lay An effort will doubtless be made by III,
Opposition to postpone it until after the Presi
Dental election, in the hope that it will cause
dissensions in the Democratic ranks and split
the party into . number Of petty factions
We must prevent such q senselcss result; VIC
can, by bringing on the election Immediately
after the Legislature convcncs. We deprecate
any agitation on this subject In times past
it divided and defeated our party; and il is at
this moment again, especially in our own cOun-
ty, troubled and tossed upon the asitated
waves Of this agitating question. Let it be
disposed Of at once and quictcd II il due to
the gallant Democracy Of the State, who so
triumphantly "bOre the banner and kept step
to the music Of the Union," in the late strug.
gle with fanaticism and sectionaism, that they
be speedily relieved of all causes of division,
and they, therefore, require Of their servants
to whom is delegated the high trust of select
ing Senator to represent them in the Senate
of the United States hUt IL be done at once
Our people are essentially Democratic
They cmincntly exhibited their adhesion to
the Democratic party and the Union in the
late est;-they arc now, SO far as great
national questions are concerned, amongst the
trucst, Staunchest and firmcst supporters of
Democratic men and measures They have
Taught lanahcism that It need not look to them
for laid and cOmiort;" they have thundcrcd
into the startled ear Of disunonists that they
can neither be bribcd, cnjoled nor driven into
the maintenance Of their disrupting principles.
They, therefore, ask Of their immediate rep
rcsentatives TO remove, at the earliest practi-
cable moment, after the meeting Of the -Lesis-
iatur<;, any temporary though weakening Gle.

A. Haas, on Coloma street, were entered by
burglars. The former was robbed Of small
amount Of money eight or ten dollarS), and

scoundrels must have had great experience in
their profession" as they accomplished both
Expectations without disturbing the sleep
Of the inmates Of either house. They must
have entered by means Of skeleton keys, rs
no windows or doors were forced in either in
stance.

We learn from +. 4. Bee, Esq, who has just
returned from the mountains, that the late
storm was severe East Of this place. Snow
had fallen on the main summit to the depth Of
eighteen inches and was falling heavily when
he left The road was open and number of
teams were crossing. The late rains had ma.
tcrially injured the new grade, by numerous
rivulcts crossing it and washing deep gullcys
in it. Mr.. y. took pains 10 inquire of the team
>tcrs-ovcr fifty in numbcr--the propriety Of
collecting toll sufficient to pay the wages Of
two men to keep the road in repair, and all
favored the proposition and expressed their
willingness to sign contract obligating them,
selves to pay the necessary tolls. The proba-
blity is that Mr.. Bee will take the RESPONSE.
blity, on behalf Of the Telegraph Co., to send
the men out, as the Co. must keep the road
in order to get wire across the mountains.
