THE GREAT

Such we record to-day. Democracy,
falsely so-called, with its pretense Of sup
port to a Union Administration, with its
claimings of every Union General from
the field, with its assertions that Andy
Johnson was Of their mind and not OF
ours, with its phillipics against Puritans
and its lies in this and other respects, in
vain endeayor to create religious sympa-
thy or prejudice for the party of Copper
headism, with its Coercion" of miners
Democracy, the remnant thereof, the last
'forlorn hope"-the bombastic bilks and
blatherskites, and they who secretly nurse
the very hate. heart of treason-"Democ-
racy" has gone down again, thrice damned,
before the hosts of freedom, before the
political army Of the Lord. dealing as
we do"-in the language of the late Dem
ocratic platform" with living issues and
no. with those that are dead" those that
are without vitality or substance" those
which in the course of nature, or other
wise, are " removed from the scope of dis
CUSTOM" we will not dwell aggravatingly
on this regular campaign decease OF the
Democracy" But we cannot forbear to
congratulate ourselves, with some particu-
lars. on the triumph just achieved.
In the beginning of the canvas, the
Democracy" vainly attempted to force a
candidate upon u party; at its conclu-
sion we find a radical, out and out Union
list, with a bright and clear record for
Union advocacy, elected over the head of
their most available candidate under the
circumstances Neither their preference
in our ranks nor their hope and delusion
in their own could make q point against
the unadultera,ed Union strength of the
State. So we believe it is to be in the
future.
Our success in this county is largely
due-and should be here, at once, warmly
acknowledged-to the Irish citizen, who
yesterday, came up to the polls in true
blue style and voted the entire Union
ticket. We rejoice specially On this fact 4;
since we have all along insisted that such
would be the case, in the face Of much in
credulity among leading A~merican-born
citizens. The Fenian Brotherhood, though
it deals not at all in American party poll
tics, may be set down henceforth as sub
stantially a Union organization. Over
Ave hundred Irish votes were yesterday
given for the Union ticket. Let this not
be forgotten. The day Of Democracy"
is indeed over a new political era has in
deed dawned and we Union boys are at
the Feast, and not followers at a Funeral.
Let every man contribute of his sparable
coin for the Fenian cause. 1t is in the
cause Of freedom ; it is for the cherished
hope and prayer of foreign-born citizens,
who will henceforth and ever be for our
Government as a Republic set up for our
enjoyment and the asylum Of the op-
pressed of every land. Hurrah, for the
Irish Union boys!
D. R. Ashley will procure for US this
winter, grants Of land for. all projected
railroads to and within our State, and a
subsidy for the Placerville Railroad in ad-
dition to grants of land. OF this we feel
perfectly confident.
1t now appears that the g-r-r-ea,
Democracy" have elected no one
not a single township officer. not even q
Constable. The field Is swept. The day
is ours. Praise the Lord. Amen.
