THAT REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.

: Republicans Of Placer county, will yor
notice that few of the most treacherou.
and unprncipled men in the Republican
party have issued an address to the people
of the United States, with no other ain
than to feel the press and the people, in re-
gard to TIE infames of their past record
knowing if they can get an endorsement
others are all right. Notwithstanding the
reader of this may be ever so much devoted
to the old principles of the Republican party
in its purity, we know he does not, unless
he is one out Of thousand endorse such
mon as are at the head of this address, nor
| their actions What we want to come at,
then; is this: That the Placer 4rqus does
endorse the address IN toto, and even euo-
gizes it, but is very careful TO hold from its
readers the names of its originators. Thus,
though, the argus defines its position, thing
it has long endeavored to disguise, and what
that position is, when fairly understood, is

has been like feather in whirlwind
darting here and there at every change of
the public breeze. But, at last, when it
does come down, alights in the midst of cor
ruption, which. in its depraviry, it calls
sweet. Let us see what this morsel is COM
posed of, which this unnatural creature says
is good. First, comes Hipple Mitchell, the
bigamist, and biggest humbug out of Jail,
followed by back-salary, Credit Mober
Cameron, of New York, and Flanagan, of
Texas; Conover, of Florida; Stewart, of
Nevada; Clayton, of Arkansas; West, of
Louisiana; Spencer, of Alabama; and such
Representatives as Chipman. the District
thief; Central Pacific Goat Island Hough-
ton, of this State; with Bundy Chaffee and
McCormlck, everyone, without single ex-
ceptlon, prominently noted in connection
with some swindlng corporation, big steal,
or carpet-bag fraud and what these men
say and do, the Placer Argus rolls under it
tongue, smacks its chops, and exclaims
'Luscous y We are heartily glad the
1,gus condescended to give vent to its feel
Ings in this matter, for now we know, a
hing we have been in ignorance OF for some
time, where it stands Here are lot Of
political rascals, who have been at the head
or bottom of nearly every act which has So
disgraced our nation, and stigmatized as
Infamous the Republican party, get together
md issue an address, virtually saying that
Ill who endorse our words stand by and en-
lorse us, and, strange as it may seem to
some, who have yet got wool in their eyes,
the Placer ArguS says, "We endorse you
heartily and believe you are the only men
who can be relied on for any tangible re-
lief This really is saying, eve are one
of the thieves, scalawags and swndlers,
who are sworn to use our utmost endeavors
to bring abont the destruction of our gov
emment, that we may gain riches from the
spoils." A consistent address, issued by
respectable, honest Republicans, we would
naturally | ave expected this pigmy institu-
ton to have endorsed; but the idea of ii run
ming after tie desgning document and It's
authors, a thing the honest Republican pa
pers tif there b, any is more than we Were
prepared to expect. But knowing the
innate wickedness of the llputian Drained
institution, we are not at all surprised.
