STATE OF NEVADA, New PASS, May 4, 81.
Z'ab6 MITCHELL Esq Dear Sir:-Notic
ing that the political cauldron is commencing
to simmer, and judging it will soon be boil
ing all over California, and feeling as do a.
deep interest in the result of the election in
your State, and more particularly in Placer
county, herein enclose you five dollars,
and ask you to send me the HERALD until
that money is used up Direct my paper to
Austin, from that office will get the paper
regular. hope to see old Placer redeemed
from the clutches of the Radicals. 1t will be
recollected by you that have not always
been Democrat. 1t was only when | found
that party alone advocating the Constitution
as the true basis Of our Government that
became one. The old Wing party TO which
l was so much attached (the mention Of the
name now makes my heart rebound with
pIeasure,) was a Constitutional party
When Clay and Webster closed their labors
among men, He'll re'echoed with yell OF
triumph. Well did the master spirit OF
those dominons realize this fact, that bis
daboical work of destruction could then
commence. Gradually had be been prepar
ing his work, waiting for the opportune moi
ment-t came, and be and his kingdom
rejoices 10 the harvest they have been and
are still enjoying. The only cloud lowering
over the Internal regions, is the dread Of the
success of that party which recognizes the
Constitution, and have not forgotten the
teachings Of those great and good men who
established our government. The success OF
this party will once more call for mourning
10 the DEVILS dominions. My prayers and
best wishes will he with you, hope to see
ticket got up that will command confidence
and respect, and then let every true man 60
to work and see that the ticket is elected.
You have host Of good and true men in
Placer, who have never bowed the knee to
Baal. Let them 60 10 work, as we'll as they
who have for a time gone astray but have
seen the error Of their ways, and are now
back, "clothed" and in their right mind, and
others who are ready to come. The country
is sick Of Radicalsm. hope to hear the
old War Horses Of Placer have put the har'
ness on, and are at work in good earnest
You have a Walkup, Myers, Hamilton, Wy.
man, Mcclure, and number Of others who |
no doubt will be during the canvass.
lUeTo was tIIno IN iaCer Wueu was
called the "Gurila Chief" wish it was so
that could be with you, and once more carr
ry on my mode Of warfare, for the success Of
your ticket this Fall, but this cannot be-
You can and have no doubt will win, not
only in your county, but the State too.
| Make your State ticket host of itself; at
your State convention indicate who is to be
your U. S. Senator and let him be giant in
intellect. Let him With others canvass the
State thoroughly, and my word for it victory
will once more perch on your banner-Cal
fornia BE- redeemed. Do this, and pledge
you my word next year Nevada will follow
suit, and then the whole Pacific coast.
You must excuse this long letter. My
apology for it is, my heart is in the cause,
believing as do in the justice Of living
God, believe the enemies Of Constitutional
American Liberty have run their race and
all that is necessary for US to do, is to stand
up for liberty ae Americans should-redeem
and save our Government, and make it once
more the abode for those who truly love the
institutions Of our country. In such contest
you cannot fail.
