Gov. WELLER AND HIS SLANDERERs.-
A dirty fellow by the name of Highly, who
the Abolitonists have nominated for Conf
gress, has been perambulating the State,
slandering Gov. Weller and other gentle
men of the democratic party. He was the
first in this canvass to declare upon the stump
that Gov. Weller, whist Minister to Mexico,
recommended the President of that Govern.
ment to recognise the Independence of the
Confederate Government. This same filthy
charge was reiterated by low political
mendicant by the name of Vinton, who
went through this county some days ago.
Gov. Weller, on Thursday evening last at
Stockton, pronounced the charge an nfa'
nous falsehood. His word will 90 much
farther with the people than the oath of
these Infamous falsfers.

EE Mr.. Dickerson is candidate upon
the Republican Abolition ticket for County
Treasurer. AS good citizen and worthy
gentleman he has no SUPERIOR but it strikes
us his electioneering tactics are somewhat
at fault, when he urges that Mr.. Banvard
has occupied the Office long enough, when
it is we'll known that Mr. Dickerson was in
the Convention that nominated Mr. Banvard
for his present term, and that term has
been cut short by the Legislative action of
the party with which Mr.. d. has lately fount
association. The people of Placer county
elected the present incumbents for two
years, but an Abolition Legislature cut of
their. terms nearly one half because they
were Democrats. This was an inexcusable
stretch of power. but the Democracy o
Placer will rebuke the outrages in signal
terms at the coming election.

Some of the Republican press call the
immigration now arriving in this State, across
the plains, squads of demorazed rebels
from Prices shattered army" This is truly
a Republican welcome to the hardy immi-
grants who have travelled thousands of miles
to make their homes in California. Suppose
they were formerly in the rebel army. Near
ly every man in the Southwestern States,
that the rebels could lay their hands upon
have been forced into their ranks. The
fact that such men are coming to California
if it is so, should be evidence to unprejuIic-
ed minds that they are tired of the rebel
lion, and determined TO seek homes remote
from wars deyastations and horrors, I'm
less they came prepared to vote the Aboli-
ton ticket, the Republicans of California
would prefer to see them remain rebel sol,
diers According to their ideas there is
nothing gained by the decentralization and
dispersion of the rebel armies. They must
fight it out to the death, or be whipped into
voting the fanatica ticket of the Abolition
lists. There is nothing gained else. That is
the way the party in power propose to pre-,
serve the Union. Continue the war until
everybody is whipped into an endorsement
of their fanatical aud sectional views. If
this is not So why did they change the pol
icy of the war to strict accordance with
the idea of its Abolition leaders,

Democratic Rallys.

On Friday evening, Of last week, Governor
Bger spoke to very large audience at
Forest Hill. 1t was admitted by all persons
present to have more than doubled either of
the abolition meetings held at that place this
season. The Governors speech was replete
with good sense and sound argument, back
ed up by incontestible proofs, calling forth
from his hearers, at times, such expressions
as Now he hits them," that's a heavy
round" lie succeeded in reclaiming many
a " backslider;" and even tho most confirm
ed abolitonist listened with profound and
prayertul attention. The style of language,
and manner too, was in such marked contrast
to Highly, Vinton d Co, as to attract uni
versal attention, even Republicans spoke of
it with chagrin.
Our worthy candidate for Controller r..

ciples, to the foul and denunciatory han
rangues uttered by the abolition speakers.

right for the democracy, and if the Blacks
carry a single precinct in Township No. 5,
they will have to do better work than they
ever have done.
On Monday evening last, the Democracy
Of Iowa Hill had another rousing meeting to
greet 10 Hamilton, and other democratic
speakers, Mr.. H., made very argumenta
tive and logical speech, being frequently in
lerrupted by drowning cheers and other en-
couragement from the large crowd present
He was followed by DR.. Crandall, who is do
ing good work in favor of the unterrifed
democracy.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Hamilton
spoke again at Monona Flat. The democracy
of Iowa Hill and vicinity turned out numerl
ously and joined in grand torch-light pro

The JUDICIAL TICKEr.-The Democratic
State Central Committee, at their late meet
ING in San Francisco, resolved to withdraw
the State Judicial ticket until after the gen
eral election. This action was taken to con-
form as nearly as possible to the spirit and
purpose of the amended Constitution, which
seeks to keep the election out OF the polti-
cal arena. The decision of the Committee
was a very wise one-and should be, and we
hope will be- adopted by the other party
They and we have equal interests in secur'
ing Judiciary as nearly as possible free
from any Of the taint or blenish inevitably
attaching to any man, no matter what his
adherent purity, who reaches the bench
through partizan machinery. The chief
merit of the amendments to the Constitu
ton is. that they provide for separation of
the judiciary from the political election
Those who hold the Constitution to be sub
ordinate to a party creed, should, from the
motives Of self interest, if from no hig her
consideration, DO all they can to carry out
the spirit of the Constitution in this respect;
hence we have reason to believe that the Re
publican party will concur with the Democ
racy in postponing the canvass for judges of
the Supreme Courts until the purely politi,
cal issues involved are disposed of by the
general eIection- CalaUeras Times.

THE LEAGUERS UNMASKED.

When the friends of Robert L. Tilden ap,
piled to Governor Stanford for him to be
commissioned as Captain in the federal ser.
vice, everybody said be was the right lsan for
the right place, and when it was lTrned
that the commission had been revoked,
many were at a loss to know the reasop, and
wondered why good man should be thus
prescribed. Prominent republicans, to their
honor be it said, not entirely blinded by ar
ty bigotry, readily vouched for Tilden's 10y
atty. Having known him for years, they fe.t
that they could not concentiously do other
wise. 1t therefore remained for a few, guided
entirely by partzan spirit, to shoulder the
responsibility of pronouncng Tilden dis.
loyal man. This was done inthe toIowh
manner:
The Placer herald., 1863-08-22


ADJUTANT GENERAL kBBE-Sir We learr,
through the Siskyou County Delegation, that
Robert L. Tden is an applicant for commission
in the United States service, and for the reason
that he did publicly indorse by his vote, the en-
closed resolutions, [mem. of resolutions of June
lst r. O. Dewitt, Chairman. A. p. McCarton,
Secrctary.1 we ask that no commission be issued
to said Robert l.. Tilden to serve as an officer in
the United States service. Respectfully,
c. II. PYLE, Postmaster,
f. II. LoNGLEY, U. S. II. Assessor,
f. A. ROGERS, County Clerk,
ROBERT Nixon, Yreka Journal,
VIM. STINE, {. w. PRNDLE.
The resolutions referred to above, are
those entitled the "Butte Resolutions" which
were adopted as a test for every democratic
primary meeting in this State. We said
that Tilden was prescribed for being demon
crat. The proof is plain. No charge of disl
loyalty was urged against him. That could
not be substantiated, and hence the subter'
fuge adopted. Irehd On'on.
