as these men who are the nominees of the
great unterrifed and God-forsaken Gwinites
of Yuba county Who are, and what were
these nominees prior to the assembling of
this Convention? Let us examine into their
past history:


First on the list, is Col. II. P. Watkins. He
is every inch gentleman, and as far as
know, scholar. In this respect will de-
tract nothing from his name and fame, and
God forbid that I should say ought against
his honor or integrity; for knowing him as l
do, l could not with truth say anything that
would lessen him in public estimation as
high-minded and honorable gentleman mau
gre his political Inconsistencies


Col. Watkins is relative of that great and
good man at whose death nation "mourned
in sack cloth and ashes'--Henry Clay. All
of his life from the moment he was taught to
lisp the name of any person, he has been a
devotee of Henry Clay. Clay was his idol
his God. His dreams were of Clay and every
aspiration of bis soul was devoted to that
great and good man. Up to the ill-gotten
period of his cxistenee-the time when he
was seduced by Walker-"the gray eyed man
of destiny, to enter his service, TO violate
the neutrality laws of the Government of the
United States and to invade the territory Of a
neighboring Republic on flibustering ox-
pedition, Col Watkins was, every inch Of
him, an enemy to the Democratic party and
to every thing which smelt or smaeked Of
democratic principles. He, like his great
prototype and Idol, hated James Buchanan
with a Holy hatred not inferior to that which
it is presumed the Devil has for "holy water. ,
He believed that James Buchanan by his ly-
ing and detestable hypocritical conduct, pre-
vented Henry Clay from reaching the goal OF
his ambition. And, therefore it was that Col.
Watkins held in utter detestation, not only
Buchanan himself but all and every one whC
Nvowed himself an opponent of his friend ant
relative, Henry Clay. But a great chang,
has come DER the spirit of his dreams" IL
is now a Buchanan Gwinite- Locofoco--a lie

nouneed with such vindictiveness aud yehe-
mence. A DEMOCRATIC Democrat died in III

the great white party ofYuba county.


Such q man, Mr. Editor, is the man nomi-
mated by the party styling itself DEMOCRATIC,
to represent Yuba county in the Senate of
this State, Such is the man whom the Gwin
ties have put up to be beaten next fall by the
Popular Sovereignty Democrats of Old Yuba.


As for the Legislative ticket, it is too reak
to speak Of There is not a man on it capa-
bic of drawing up bill much less ndvo1a-
ting or opposing one, except by vote. In
deed, so far as know, B. P. Hugg and J. NJ.
Crowell are the only men who can lay claim
to any thing approximating to intelligence
among said nomiEees,-and what were they
Hugg was an original Democrat In 1855 he
joined the Know Nothings, and from that day
up to q month or six weeks ago, he was moth
ing else but Know Nothing. The Irish and
Dutch were hated by him as much as Wat
kins hated Locofocoism; and he has frequent
ly declared, in the immortal words of James
Buchanan that The thought he had drop
of foreign blood in his veins, he would let it

And Crowell, what is he and who is he

he can not procure a corporals guard to vote

who do not know of his sins Of omission and

represent Yuba county in the Councils of the
State; but he, perhaps is as fit as Hugg to
represent the party who nominated him
Were Colonel Watkins would decline the
nomination, rather than my name should APP
pear with the names of such men as Hugg
and Crowell on the same ticket.


The other candidates for Representatives to
the State Legislature will pass over until
my next, for L have too much to say concern.

The next person of whom shall speak, is

Charles Lindley, Esq. Who is he and what

He was born democrat, and was raised on
democratic milk. He imbbed democracy
from the breast of his mother, and hence the
fondness he has for sucking at the Democratic

country over the Plains in ls49, and took up
his residence at Sacramento in that year.
