WHITE MEN's GOVERNMENT The De-
mocracy Of Fl Dorado hold with Stephen
a. Douglas, that this Government is
made on the white basis, by white men,
for the benefit of white men and their pos
terity forever" The Abolitionfusionists
hold the opposite doctrine and insist on
placing the negro upon an equality with
the white man. You who are willing to
so degrade yourselves may do so success
fully by voting for Harvey, Saxton & Co.
IT is conceded by all Intelligent men,
that Democratic victory in the loyal
States would 60 far to restore the Union.
1t would inspire confidence in loyal South
crn men, and quiet the fears of the Union
men of the Border States. Let not Cali
fornia increase their apprehensions by
supporting the friends of the Administra-
ton.
The weekly mountain Democrat. [volume] (Placerville, El Dorado County, Calif.) 1861-1862, 1862-08-30

A RuINOrs PRoJECT.- is proposed by
President Lincoln'S emancipation policy
that the Government shall DC at the OK
pense Of supporting the negroes Of the
South, under the superintendent of thou
sands Of salaried agents, the fanatical Abo-
litionists who are responsible for our ma
tional troubles. First, the emancipated
slaves must be paid for at their fair value,
when belonging to loyal masters but not
tins alone. The General Government, it
is proposed, shall pay the several States
for all the slaves that may become eman-
cipated in their respective bounds, and
then colonizc them. Where, in the name
Of Heaven, is the money to come from to
pay the enormous amount 1t is to be
raised by loan, and in support of the
project it is argued that England has a
much larger debt than that government
can ever pay, and yet it has never been
SO assured of power as now, and why
cannot this Union prosper with heavy
debt, too? We answer, our people are
opposed to large National debt-that has
been repeatedly demonstrated land, what
ever it may cost to emancipate the slaves
and colonize them, it must be paid by
INSTRUMENTATION, the most enormous
ever imposed upon any people--must be
wrung from the laboring and producing
classes, the least able to pay it. 1t is high
time for US to look upon these things
calmly, not from political stand point,
but with patriotic Sobcrness. Every voter
is interested in them, and should consider
them carefully. Add to the immense
government expenditures caused by the
war, the corruption of officials and reck-
less extravaganza Of the Administration
the price of the liberated slaves and their
support for years, and the government
cannot be saved from bankruptcy. This
policy has received the Endorsement Of
Conness' candidates, and those who are
willing to be taxed for such purpose
willing to bankrupt the country for the
sole benefit Of the negro, should vote fol
them.

A FALuRE.-Thc Republican party has
proved failure and its leaders, apprecia-
ting this fact, have organized a new par
ty. They feel that they have wasted all
the opportunities of putting down the re-
bellion-that they organized an Admins
tration upon the narrowcst basis Of party
violated party faith-deceived the peo-
ple-monOpolized patronage--pervcrtcd
the war itself to the purposes Of favoritism
--emancipatcd the negroes Of the District
Of Columbia in defiance of the Constitu-
ton, and are now spell-bound and paral-
yzed in consequence Of their own imbe
cility. They have been bitter curse to
the country and the people know it, and
under the spurious name of "Union. par
ty" they are trying again to deceive the
people. They piteously appeal to Demo-
Gratis to come to their assistance, but true
Democrats are not to be caught by the
shallow and false pretcnce of saving the
Union. They know, every intelligent vo'
ter knows, that the Union can only be
saved by and through the Democratic
party, and the masses everywhere arc
tlocking to its standard. In the elegant
language of the day, the Republican par
ty is "played out" and those who en-
couraged and supported it hide their
heads Cor very shame. The Union party
is "but the Republican party without the
Republican name," and by this artful
dodge they hope again to delude the peo-
pie. But they will be disappointed; men
are seldom caught twice by the same
humbug.
