shoddy Fiz1Ie at Ell Dorado.

Ell DoRApo, 0cr. -. 1864.
EDITORS DEMOCRAT Assuredly there are
times that try mems souls, and the Abolition
part of this generally peaceful village had
their souls tried on Tuesday night last, when
we were assured that We would hear the "snl-
emn truth" from Messrs. Highly, Crane and
others. The time came. but failed to bring
Crane. However, our expectations were still
high on "Higby and others the others
must have meant the knight of the RuefuI
COuntenance," alias McCallum, and poeticai
Carpenter.
The meeting was called to order by Phil.
Teare, who sOlemnIy asserted that our glOri-
our Gag waves FER the State Of California, as
IL did twenty years ago! An astonishing
statement 70 some Of US. Poor Philip discov.
cred his mistake, 0lushed, and graciously in
trOduced Highly. The little brass cannon
went Of, which startled some nigger and Chr
nanen, who were all agape to hear the "sol-
emn truths" so confidently expected.
Highly opened by saying that all who op-
posed the Administration were traitors and
liars, and that Gen. Mcclellan is and was the
chief of traitors! Lincoln knew this when
he tremblngly called HIM to take c"mmand of
POpe's defeated and dishpartened army !! He
read copious!y from documents which had
sOp0ritic effect on the crowd, especially On the
Chinese and nggers. He continued his TRADE
Of abuse nearly twn hours with little or no en-
thusiasm, and finally Was induced to give way
to the Knight of RuefuI Countensnce, who be-
gan with a solemn truth and continued s0me
time in his usual solemn style, while his wear
led audience, under the contrib of the whip
pers in, listlessly RtOod around, and If they
could have slept standing not one one Of them
would have been awake. No excitement, no
enthusiasm, no admiration was displayed by
them, except occasionally Big Sam and some
other shoddys from your place would give
| few faint claps and the little brass gun, which
they brought with them, would go of.
For the past three weeks the faithful 0f Fa-
ther Abrahams flock have been engaged
throughout this and adjoining townships to
make this n grand dem"nstratioB, a crusher,
and it was a crusher but not IN Demncract
II was the death knell Of the shoddyites-an
expiring groan. Our Brass Band played, the
gun and anvils thundered. because these are
mechanical operations only. Money could
command this There seemed TO be no heart
or feeling on the part of the people, except that
of glnnm and depression All ardOr was
dampened by the miserable failure Of the
speakers.
| The poetical Carpenter followed McCallum,
but with all bis fiery eloquence aud fierce de-
nunciatiop Of men who presume to think for
themselves, he could not arouse the apathetic
crowd. In fact. they were in the Slough Of
Despond. The crowd quietly dispersed, and
the Placer Williams "got mp and busted, while
Q crowd Of Democrats gave three cheers for
| Mcclellan and three more for the white man
a sarcastic reflection on the whole affair. =

KEEP-it before the people that Highly,
the shOddy candidate for Congress in this
District, boldly declares on the stump
that this is an Abolition war;"
Keep it before the people that Highly
says it is prosecuted TO emancipate the
slaves OF the South.
Keep it before the people that Highly
says that "the Union as it was is not
worth preserving" +" and that with his con-
sent tho Old Union shall never DO restored.
Is he not q traitor?

A ToIcE FROM TIE RNY.-The follow

Of . Wisconsin regiment, in the army
near Atlanta, Georgia. addressed to his
brother at home. AS indicative Of the
current Of feeling among the SOldiers,it is
interesting. The revolution now in rap.

OnIy sixty men after the fight Dear
brother, Il seems as though this cruel war
was never going to be over, as things look
at present. But, If we keep fighting as
We have been doing, there won't be many
men to do the fighting, as they will all be

~ have seen your old friend, John D.
Shealey, . stiff old Democrat Of the oldest
dye,and be sends his best respects to you.
He is in the 18th Regiment Wisconsin
Volunteers. He did not re-enlist and his
time will soon be out. and he says he will
20 up and see you again, to cast another
vote for you for Sheriff. And he tells me
that in the 18th regiment Lincoln will
not get two votes for President. And
find that such is the story Of most Of the
soldiers now a.days, as they think that
Lincoln can never put down the rebellion,
or give the rebels any terms that they
could live under.
The old veterans think that Lincoln
and the rest of the abolitiOnists came it on
them in getting them to enlist again by
saying that there would be peace this
coming summer. and they are sorry
enough for 1t nowadays; but as it is at
present they are confident, BY not casting
their vote for him, that he will not be the
President for the next term, and do trus'
he will not wish all his strong sup
portsFs would come down here and shoul'

"CoPPERBEAD."-The epithet Of "Cop.
perhead" is the offspring Of vulgar mind;
It kas no terrors for patriots they accept
it e enc Of tho Incidents Of the political
revolution in America. This cpithet is
one Of the weapons Of base press, which
never appeals to the reason. but rather to
the passions Of mankind. 1t is not, how.
ever, so ierocious as the epithet Of Bris-
sot and RObespierre. The crucif1x is not
ssymbol OF ignominy, but rather of the
