CHEERING. following extract from
letter from good old friend, Doug
las Democrat" of Grizzly Flat, speaks for
itself. 1t shows the estimation in which
nominal Democratic newspapers are held
by old and uncOmprOmising Democrats:
EDIroRs DEMocRAr: The more l read the
DEMocRAr the better ! like il. Each humber
seems an improvement on the last, aud it re-.
fleets the real sentiments Of every loyal Demo-
crat who abhors Black Republcanism and its
abettors. 10 these days Of puslanimity and
cOwardice on the part Of pretended Democratic
newspapers, 1t is invigorating and encouraging
to get sight Of q real Democratic newspaper
that has the independence to "speak out in
church."
am sOrry to say that this distracted, bleed
ing country Of ours has been cursed by "a venal,
untruthful and corrupt Press, and still more
sorry 20 say that they profess tn represent the
party with which acted. think it l. the du
ty Of every Democrat to lend all the help he can
to the few papers left in the State that dare 10
speak the truth. There is something wrong
in my party. l have looked in vain among It's
organs for word against the Black Republic
fcans, and were it not for such papers as the
DEMOcRAT persons in other States might well
believe that Black Republicanism has no oppo.
sitiOn in California and as our members If
the Legislature have indorsed and their UOte i
on record, "the wise, efficient and conservative
policy Of the present National Administration. -
il is fair to presume they have struck their col
ors and gone clean over to the enemy. From a
conversation bad with Frazier previous Ia his
going btIOW, expected better things from hirs
| l think he is more Of q dupe than deserter.
Not knowing the other members, am unable
TO account for their conduct. In conclusion
have only this to say, thst believe it is the
6rst instance on record where Democrats Off,
cidLy indOrsed all the acts Of their oppon<afs
and that the Democrats of this precinct repu-
date the indOrsers Of Lincoln's policy.
Yours, &c,

AT the recent term of the Bergen Coun-
ty Court, Judge Elmer delivered charge
in relation to treason, which the Newark
Adrertiser says was remarkable for its
firm adherence to law and to the spirit Of
liberty. He charged that it is a right,
which every citizen has, to approve or
condemn, the acts and measures Of an
Administration, without subjecting him
to the suspicion Of being disloyal to his
country, or rendering him liable to the
charge of treason. His charge gave great
satisfaction to all present, among whom
were some prominent Republicans.

The MOUNTAIN DkrNcRAr coudoles with us
on the reduction in size OF the Republican,, and

.sions. We have no complaint to make Of the
iberality Of our patrons. We reduced the size
Of our paper simply as n business operutiou-
to reduce expenses-preferring to issue tWen.
ty-four columns . week Of fresh matter and
eight or thirty with "POst Office lists, " City
and County Directories" and the like. such as
weekly presents itself N our contemporary 9
TeadeFs.-Pl0cerViUs Republican.
It would seem from the above that our
neighbOr does not take in good part our
friendly notice Of the 18th inst, in which
We expressed the fear that it did not re-
,ceive as substantial support from its par
~ as it merited. Its ill-natured remarks
about our columns being filed with "POst
Office lists" &C., are characterized alike
by bad taste and bare-faced mendaCity,
and we are at loss to imagine how the
editor could bring himself to publish what
everybody may see by glance at our pa
per is 90 absurdly false. We furnish in
every issue of the DEMOcRAT more fresh
matter" than our little neighbor could
crowd into its "twenty-four" short col
umns, besides the other matter so sneer-
ingly alluded to and fair share of pay
ing ads" Our neighbor knows very well
that the DEMOCRAT is the largest and best
weekly paper published in this State, and
is only restrained from saying SO BY his
narrow bigotry and long habit Of hatred
to everything Democratic.

Coon FOR CRANE.-Senator Crane, of
Alameda county, is a man after our own
heart. He believes in and desires to car
~ out the doctrine, that to the victors
belong the spoils." In discussing the bill
"to aPsnd the Act prescribing the rules
for the government Of the State Library,
which is designed to legislatc the present
incumbent, Democrat, out OF Office, and
give his place to Republican," Senator
Crane is thus reported:
"Mr. Crane Avowed the object of the bill
introduced BY Senator Harvey, Of this coun.
~, IN be TO eject the present Librarian, and
provide for the appointment Of somebody whose
political principles uere in c0nSondAcs t0iM tie
pre'ent State and National Administrations"
GOOD on your head" Uncle Crane.
Give the hungry and needy and immacu-
late Repubs place.! In the Atlantic
States, where they have had chance,
they have swindled the Government, &c.
cording to Republican authority, out Of
millions Of dollars let them try their
hands, at the same business, in California.
The rascaliy Democrats have had their
day u; insist on their making room for
members Of your own party. The people
of California have Endorsed the political
principles" of the "present State and Ma.
tional Administrations" so have the nom.
inal Democrats of the Assembly; make
them stick to the record. 1t is proper
and right and just to "provide for the
appointment Of these whose political prin
ciples are in consonance with the present
State and National Administrations" ~
Reward your friends, punish your enc
mics, and make your allies drink the cur
of degradation to the dregs. Every loya
Democrat will admire you for it, Senator
Crane. Disregard the appeals and whines
Of your allies, who will be true TO you
while In power and betray you in adver
sity.

sir, that is what A6Olitionism is costing.
Slavery was here at the birth Of the Re-
