to induce voters to remove into Dsiric, N.
!, Placer county, to vote for w. D. PerkiD.
for Collector, under the promise of providina
one months board for each man.
1t is open to grave doubt whether N.
said communication was ever penued il y,
Dorado county. TWAS signed "Greenvood
the name Of town in Ell Dorada coun,r
but it was just as easy to pen the letter i,
Auburn. This thing Of getting up "roor
backs" against candidates, on the eve Of =,
election, over the signatures of anonymo0.
correspondents, is a very old and verv .,,,.
trick. 1t is sneaking way of iniurino c.0
didates; and the fact Of using an ASSUME,
name, is good evidence of the falsi,y Of III.
char ge.
1t is well known that Mr.. Perkins i, s,.
ceedingly popular, and is certain to smash
the ring" that are seeking the posssssio,
Of the Collectors Office in The First Disr;o,

BRANNAN AT FoREsr HILL.-Sam Bran
nan, the great North American Sword
swalower, and Vinton, spoke at Forest Hill,
few nights since. There was a goody
number in attendance, and Sam ought to
have put himself on good behavior, in order
to make a favorable impression in
stead of that he made it the point of bis
harangue to deal in the coarsest abuse of
lrshmen and Catholics. (who compose a
large and respectable portion Of the popula.
ton of the town) much to the disgust of his
audience. AS a fitting wind up to his slang,
he became beastly drunk after leaving the
stand.
The decent Aboitionists present, felt much
humliate dl at Brannan's conduct, and ex.
pressed themselves as sorry the man ever
made bis appearance among them.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED. - The Abolition
press have given general circulation to q
story that Valandigham, upon reading Nc
Clellan's letter of acceptance, Withdrew his
appointments for political speaking and re-
turned home in disgust, determined not to
support the Chicago nominees.
This is lie cut from whole cloth. Gen.
McClelan's letter of acceptance bears date
Of the s,h of September. Eight days after
ward, on the 10th, Mr.. Pendleton and Mr..
ValIandigham made short speeches to an
impromp,u gathering at Dayton, Ohio, on
the occasion of a serenade to MIR. Pend Teton
Mr.. Vallandigham closed his speerh by say
ing that "the unity and harmony of the parl
ty were essential to success, and without sue
cess in November. the country was LOST
He declared his purpose to "vote for the
nominees of the Chicago Convention as the
only hope Of securing the defeat of Lincoln,
and the rescue of the Republic"

A GREAT CoNsPIRAoY.-The Abolition

becomes, If it be true, Of their statement to

The SLIDING SCALE OF ABOLITION LYING
Upon the first reception of election news
from Pennsylvania, A. J. Bryant, Chairman
Of the Abolition State Central Committee,
telegraphed to different counties that the
Keystone State had gone $4,000 majority
for the Lincolnites, and therenpon there was
a general rejoicing and burning of powder
This majority was then modified to 10000
by the reliable (O dispatches Of the Associst-
ed Press. A little later the figures cana
down to $4,000; then to 10000; another
drop brought them 10 10000; after which
they tumbed down to 5000, 5000, 5000:
and finally. to make sure, Horace Greeley
telegraphed that it was about an even race
on the home vote But Copperbead ma
jorities were rrepressible e--they kept rolling
IN from the mountains and valleys of the
State that always votes for the successful
Presidential candldate--and day later the
New York Tribune admits that Pennsvlvania
has gone Democratic, on The home yose, by
$50 majority.
Thus in one week. the Abolitionists have
admitted away 5O,15O votes, IN PENNSYLVANIA,
and although they yet set up the claim of
having carried the State, on the soldier vote,
it is evident they are struggling against the
fact that the State has gons against them,
and with this result are beaten in the Presi
dental canvass,
Less has been said of Ohio and Indiana,
but similar claims were made to large ma.
joriiies, that have decreased with every
additional dispatch. Details of the elections
are almost wholly ignored. but aggregate
majorities dealt in, that come down thou
sands of votes upon each days figuring.
1t may suit the purposes Of Abolition
leaders to deceive their partzans by reported
majorites that have no existance, but such
shallow subterfuges will neither elect Lincoln
nor deceive Democrats, or relax their efforts
to remove from place The corrupt and in
famous party that now weighs, like an in
-cubus, upon the nation
The Placer herald., 1864-10-22
LOOK UPON THIS PICTURE.

- Reader, did you ever seriously reflect upon
the consequences that must inevitably follow
the re election of Mr.. Lincoln, and the con.
tiuuance Of the present policy Of the Admi-
nstration. which it has been gradually and
constantly approaching, step by step, for
tue las, three years, and will no doubt be
strictly adhered to during the remainder of
Linrou's Administration, let the same. be
long or short; as it is beyond doubt, the
grest objective point of the party--around
which al! their hopes cluster and all their
principles concentrate. We mean the forced
abolition Of the institution Of slavery on the
part Of tie slave-holding States. Hereafter
as heretofore, If Lincoln is ree ected, this
war is not to be prosecuted for restoration
Of the old Union under the Constitution and
the laws, and the return of that peace and
prosperity in which the nation basked for
three quarters of a century, under Demo.
cratic rule, in the palmy days of the gseat
Republic. The Administration has turned
it's back upon the Union and the Cons titu-
ton, and has declared its intention to pro
secute the war (the most ferocious and de-
structive war to both life and property the
world has ever seen) alone for The n gger.
Mr. Lincoln, in his celebrated letter address
ed to ITO whom it may concern" says there
shall be no peace except upon the basis Of
lhe abolition of slavery.
The Constitution guarantees to the South
ern States their right of property in slaves,
yet Lincoln declares that they shall not have
the privilege Of returning to their allegiance
and to the Union except upon a violation Of
the Constitution, t:-The abandonment
of slavery and their rights as States.
We congratulate the country that Lincoln
has finally shown his hand and hoisted bis
colors; that he has avowed publicly
what be and his party have always
believed secretly. The only issue be
fore the country now is whether this
wicked and inhuman war for the forcible alb
oition OF tour million Of happy and conten-
ted negroes, (who are better off than any
other portion of the race that the world has
ever known.) and the determination of eight
millions OF white people, bone Of our bone,
and flesh of our flesh" including women
children and non-combatants, shall 90 on
until both North and South go down 10 one
common ruin, a sacrifice to the great tnoIoch
of aboIitionisn or rather, shall we rise in
our might and shake off this bloody party
that has grown fat and insolent upon the
lifo's blood and misfortunes OF the country,
aud hurl forever from power the miserable
old joker who has ruined and diseraced the
nation and made US the laughing stock aud
scorn Of the civilized world.
