EpiToR DEMoCaAr :-Lnst evening the De.
mocucy of this portion of our county met
in mass meeting in front Of the Colusa House
for the purpose Of listening to speeches from
Montgomery (lamilarly known AS old Zack)
of Sutter. and C. E. De Long, of your city.
The meeting was presided over by DR.. j..
Ort, of Spring Valley, who introduced the
first named gentleman and the work begin.
Uncle Zacl not only opened the talk on the
occasion, hut he opened huge trunk, filed
to oyerllowing with such documentary evi
denco as he thought would best sustain his
cause, and ther, proceeded to make one Of his
Characteristic speeches.
may be excused for saying, l suppose
that we were all disappointed in the effort
made by the "old war horse of Suffer-. on
the occasion, because his own particular
friends so expressed themselves.
We expected to hear from him some good
excuse for boiling the regular Nominees
some arguments original and forcible sus-
tanning his course as supporter of Breckin
ridge and Lane We were not however,
favored with anything of the kind lie
i used the same arguments-if You can call
them rguments-wheh are dining in our
ears hy the veriest political tyros of our
town, day after day. He labored hard 10
create some excitement and feeling in favor
of the Secession ticket, but it was Of no
avail. After speaking an hour aud half
time being called-the speaker retired amid
deolcning cheers Qhree of 'em) given by the
Sheriff, his deputies and county officers gem
orally numbering all together not more than
ten or fifteen persons.
De Long was then called, and took the
stand, encouraged 10y three rousing cheers
for the regular nominees. Time will not al
low me to give even hasty resume of the
speech of your gifted townsman, and | can
only say he kept the large audience atten-
lively listening to the true doctrine uHtil
nearly or quite twelve o'clock when the
meeting broke up, cheering Justify for the
speaker and the candidates whose cause he
had so ably advocated.
If the meeting last night is to be taken as
an indication of the feeling of the residents
of Cousa, have no hesitation in saying our
county is true to our Douglas.

EDGToR DEMOCRAT The census man has
been amongst us, and tells US that our uum-
Der is near seven hundred, all told. Several
fine new buildings have been erected within
the last year The annual yield of gold from
this place is about 100000. We have two
fine hotels, several boarding houses three
large trading houses, one church and the
ater. During the present summer the firm
OF Crawford q Peters have introduced fresh
spring water into the town, which has added
much to the comforts of the place The
springs are located about one mile south Of
the town, at an elevation of some two hun
dred feet, from which place the water is con
veyed in iron pipes to two reservoirs near
town, which are capable of containing 1900
barrels each, and at an elevation of $50 feet
above the town. From thence the water is
conducted in two mains through the streets,
supplying families for seventy-fve cents per
week hotels and other places in proportion
TO the quantity used. There are also six fire
plugs from which water can he thrown
through hose with an inch nozzle $50 feet
This is quite an advantage in case CT fire
Another improvement during the summer
has been the organization of a Fire Depart

no doubt it will surpass anything of the kind
ever undertaken in the mountains. B.

DOUGLAS IN THE MOUNTAINS this
caption, the Central Californian published at
Placerviiie, says; AT this particular time
there is no question of more interest to voters
generally, than what course the Democracy
are taking in this canvass. And, although
we have no prophets or sons of prophets
among MS, various and numerous are the pre-
dictons as to the failure.
We shall use only facts In this city seven
out of eight of those who have declared
themselves thus far are for the regular uoni
| nees, Douglas and Johnson But of thos,
| Democrats who voted what is known as the
regular ticket of last year-the Administra-
tion ticket SO called -three-fourths of them so
far as they have declared are for the same
candidates Any amount of reckless asser-
tions may be heard daily upon our etreets
from few noisy supporters of Breckinrdge,
but The masses of the democracy are true to
their party, so far as any declaration has been
made.
And the people generally have declared
hereabouts in some way or other.
But, as the question is often asked, some
pains have been taken to ascertain how it is
IN other parts Of this county. and the news
We have is that the Democracy are going ms Il
party for their regular standard bearer This
we hear from Others who have been through
the county and believe it true. What is said
of this city is from personal intercourse with
the party.
The idea is industrously circulated that the
Democracy which supported the Curry ticket
last year only have declared as party for
the nominees 1t is far from true. On the
contrary, the great majority of the regular
party supper the ticket for the same reason
that they supported the Latham ticket in the
last eanvass-they stand 10y the organiza
ton.
