strongly suspect the Colonel knows who got the

Park has been for some time in Warrington, is
a friend OF Mr. Chase's, who has aspirations for
the Presidency, and will have the support of Mr.
Park in carrying California in the next National

Loud Whistljng,

The abolitionists have great desire to carry
Placer county; but they know it is an impossible
ity. Yet they publish paragraphs stating they
have enthusiastic meetings." "thc people are
aroused" to their cause, &c. Every body in the
county know their meetings are miserable apoli-
gies. Their speakers receive cool reception at
the hands of the people; their leaders arc in des-
pondency at the prospect before them. but like
the boy, passing the graveyard, they keep up a
very loud whistlng to keep their courage up
Knowing that abolitionism cannot triumph in
Placer they are resorting to all the dirty means
know to dirty politicians. The cry of ''secesh !"
"traitor," "''copperhead and all such arguments
OF men who have not sense enough to conduct
legitimate discussion have lost their potency
The people will no longer be controlled or gulled
by such epitbets, AMI they now naturally turn to
the democracy, whose principles are the same to-
day they were sixty years ago. and who maintain
those principles alike through victory or defeat,
without fear or favor, knowing they are consttu-
tional-the principles upon which the govern
ment itself is based. Eventually they must
be supported by every intelligent and patriotic
freeman.

meager in numbers-while those of the
Democracy are large, earnest and enthusi,

ness of their cause, strong in the belief of
victory, and determined to win. There is
no lukewarmness or Indifference among.

the present State canvass, and none will be

place at the head of the column.

Consistently Union.

Any one who will listen to the arguments
of an Abolition orator through one of bis
two hour TRADES, will become convinced that
there is no longer any Union between the
Southern States and the Northern people,
but more STILL there is every reason in the
world why there should not and cannot be.
These orators represent the Southern people
as treacherous, plotting, traitorous ruffians;
untrustworthy in all the relations of life,
with whom it would be discredtable to enter,
tain anything like intimate political relations,
and upon whom it would be most dangerous
to rely.
These characteristics, they maintain have
distinguished their leaders for the past TWEEN
ty years, with which they have now thor
oughIy inocuated the mass of that people.
After making these points against those
people, they then turn round and denounce
every Democrat in California as disunon'
ist and traitor to the Government, because,
as they charge, the Democrats are not ready
to force by brute power political Union
with people they delight in holding up to
the world as fit only to excite the hatred,
scorn and contempt of mankind.
If these people are Union in sentiment,
they are so against reason, common sense
and their own most apparent interest:-as
suming always that they believe what they
say. To assume that they believe their own
assertions of fact, and are in good faith in
the use of their arguments, is to convict
them of the most violent insanity, such as
in more reasonable times would condemn
the mildest case among them to the mad
house. There are plenty of such Union
men confined in Stockton.
