Of the Herald and his man Friday, who does
the editorials, who are constantly drawing
on it and crying for more. 1t is said that
they have got more than their share already,
and their greediness exceeds, if that were
possible, their presumption and duplicity. A
row is anticipated unless the corruption fund
is shared more equally among the sycophants,
knaves, parasites and vagabonds. After the
election, it is fair to infer, the corruptionsts
will make some telling disclosures, in which
prominent Abolitionists will figure admirably.

JUDGE BRAMLErTE. The Abotionists in
this State have been claiming the Union vic,
tory in Kentucky, as an endorsement of the
Administration, but from the following ex,
tracts we find in the Louisville Journal, and
written by Judge Bramlette himself it will
be seen that it is not victory for the radical
course pursued by the powers that be, but
simon pure Union Democratic victory
"At Carlisle, and in every speech made by
me elsewhere, stated with all the point and
distlnctness | could, THAT THE UNION DEMO
CRACY OF KENTUCKY CONDEMNED. IN THE
STRONGEST TERMS, ALL THE RADICAL MEASURES
OF THE WAR POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
AND WERE PLEDGED TO USE ALL PEACEFUL AND
LEGITIMATE MEANS TO CORRECT THEM; that
they held the government to be right, and
the best government in the world, and that
1t should not be overthrown because Of anv
obnoxious measures or policy of any Admin.
lstratlon. That they hold that there is a
marked distinction between any administral
ton of the government and the government
itself. The one is transient-of short dura,
ton, and may be all wrong; the other was
formed " to endure forever" and is all ripbt.
l have said in every speech, without excep-
tion, and | have been particular so to do.
that l gaze my fuN and unreserved assent to
the platform of the "Union Democracy"
adopted at Louisville, in convention assem-.
bed, on the 18th of March last.
Again, am made to say, in reference to
the Presidents emancipation proclamation
"All Territories were excepted where it could
not be used to effect some useful purpose in
suppressng the rebellion" and, for my part.
| would say, if emancipation will effect anv-
thing down there, 90 ahead" NEITHER THE
WORDS NOR THE THOUGHTS WERE EVER NINE.

CHEERINe.--From all parts Of the State
comes the cheering Intelligence that the con-
servatives and honest Republicans are desert,
ing the Abolition ranks and enthusiastically
rallying under the proud old Democratic flag,
This may account for the rumor, generally
believed, that the Abolition ticket will bs
withdrawn in few days. II they run they
will be disgracefully defeated, and Low, Hig'

feated. In our own county the Democracy

ALL FOR THE NEGRo.--Do not forget, fel.
low citizens, that the leaders Of the Admin.
istration party indorsed the infamous Helper
book--ndorsed the declaration that the Re
pubIcans are welded to one purpose, from
which no earthly power can divorce us. We
are determined to abolish slavery at all hazi
ards" Recollect, we quote their own Ian
guage. They are determined to sacrifice
thousands of white men and pauperze their
families, desoate the country, trample upon
the Constitution, deprive the masses Of their
liberties and subvert the Government, Z" to
abolish slavery" The only way to arrest
them in their work of desolaion and death,
is to vote the Democratic ticket Will you
not do it ?--Mountain Democrat.

A CUD FOR REPUBLIcANs.-The following
is from the Louisville Journal, a most un
compromising anti Democratic paper. 1t
apty demonstrates the inconsistency of the
present day advocates of that most absurd
idea that the Administration is the Govern
ment:
Circumstances alter cases. A friend was
endeavoring to explain to Republican, who
could not see it, the difference between the
Government and the Administration. The
Government was the settled and permanent
will of the people, as expressed in the Com
stitution and the laws; while the Admins
tration consisted onl ly of certain individuals,
chosen from time to time, who were them
selves faithful to the Government or otherwise,
accordingly as they administered the Con
stitution and the laws with fidelity or not.
The Republican thought that the Admins
tratlon was the Government for the time be-
ing, and was, therefore, to be supported in
its doings, whether one agreed with it or not.
" | suppose, then," said our friend, "you supp
ported Mr.. Buchanan when be was in ofiice!"
No, didn't" said the Republican " do
you think would uphold such traitor as
he" We'll, but his Administration was
the Government, then, as you reason" Ah,
the case is different" was the onl ly reply.

Why so SILENr.-N either the Alta Cali
tornia or Sacramento Union have ever had
word of comment on the reasonable or
ders of Grand President Post Master Parker.
What is the reason There are good grounds
for believing that the Old Vigilance Conn
mittee of San Francisco is not dead but
seepeth," and the reasonable designs of that
old organization find ready ally in the Union
Leaguers of the State. The attempt to revo
lutionize California in 1856, by the Vigilance
Committee is to be renewed, in 1868, by the
Union Leaguers.- -iSonomd Democrat.

Great Meeting at Columbia.

The largest political meeting ever held in
Tuolumne county-at least we are so inform
ed by gentlemen who have the means of
knowing assembled at Columbia on Mon
day evening last, TO hear Downey, Weller and
Barber. The procession that escorted the
speakers into town, alone numbered, by actu.
al count, nine hundred and four persons. The
number at the speaking we have not heard
estimated, but according to the usual aver
age in such cases it must have been about
double the number who joined in the process
sion. Gentlemen possessing the best means
of judging, assure us that Tuolumne will give
the entire Democratic ticket majority of
from one hundred and fifty to two hundred
and fifty; Others who are more sanguine, put
the majority at from four to five hundred. -

grace the white men by making negro his

Of his erudite institution. This address
was published in a 2x4 paper belonging to
the Reverend gentleman, and called down
upon its author, dcservedly, the censure
Of the press, and among Others, the 0wa:
tonna Plain Dealer. i The Professor,
smarting under the criticism of the editor,
addressed him communication, cndeav-
oring to extenuate his ungentlemanly re-
marks. Although very lame attempt,
showing that he felt he had made poor
display of himself, and containing several
false statements, yet as it evinces dis.
position Of repentance, We trust that our
brethren will give him the full benefit of
all that he claims.

Maj. Camp, in letter dated the goth,

turned from visit to Gen. Siblcy's camp,
which is on the Sheyennc, about twenty
miles from Fort Abercrombie. He found
the men in good spirits, and looking we'll
after their march. The animals are also
in good condition, considering what they
have gone through. There is plenty of
hard bread at the Fort for the men, and
sufficient grain ard hay, with the grazing
which is now quite good, for the animals,
to subsist the expedition while it shall re-
main.
Gen. Sibley has stated to Gen Pope
that, unless Gen. Sully finds and Furnishes
the Indians, he does not think any troops
should be taken from the State.
We learn from other sources that the
expedition will remain in the vicinity of
the Fort two or three days, being expect.

sick, about twenty in number.
