THE o1rx AnID COUNTY

OUR old TREND, WIN. +. ScOu, VIII receive
subscribers TO the DEnocRAr at his Office
in Diamond Springs, where the packet
for that place will be left until our right to use
the United States Mails shall be restored to ~.
We already have good list Of subscribers n,
Diamond Springs, and we expect it to be
sWelled By the names of the entire Democracy
Of the precinct now that the hand of tyranny has
been laid upon US to crush the freedom of the
press. The Democracy should feel in honor
bound to sustain us in this hour Of persecution,
aud every lover OF liberty and even handed JUS
iice, in the county, should lend his aid to the
came purpose.
e. DoRADO. subscribers at FL Dorado
will 6ud their papers at the store of Chas. p.
jackson, Esq, who will receive the names Of
oil who may wish to subscribe for the DEMO-
cRAr.
JOIN TEUscHER will receive our Coloma pack
age until further notice. We cannot hope to-
deliver the DEMocRAr TO its patrons as pune
tualIy as heretofore, but trust that our friends
throughout the county will pardon all una
voidable irregularities.
DgMOcRAr from the mails is condemned by our
entire community. We have yet tobcar of the
first person approving or jusiifying it. AL
though it is an outrage upon our rights and
will cut of large portion Of our income, vet
will It not entirely ruin US. The people VIII"
support the mails and pay Gen. Wrights sal

eminent flows. are just, and generous. and true
to liberty, and they will put the seal of their
diSapprobatiou on all such acts
OuR city list Of subscribers has increased
nearly one hundred names since it became
known that the DENocRAr had been excluded
from the mails. The sympathy and support
fonr neighbours is most grateful to us, and we
shail try to show that they have not been mis-
placed.

DENOCRAr, to our city subscribers. Should any

confer favor on the proprietors by reporting
the fact To the Office. Master Eugene is All
