The same proceedings have been had in other counties, and were brought to the notice of the Supreme Cort, at the July term, 1855, when the deegision which we give below was rendered. We may remark in passing that in Alameda county, a mandamus was granted by Judge Hester, to effect the same result as that aimed at now in this county, and that in Sutter county, which is the basis of this decision, and all proceedings were abandoned upon the decision in the Sutter county National American Nominations : FOR PRESIDENT : Millard Fillmore, CF NEW YORK.

With the former the professions may be earnest among the But with the leader, Fremont, a Southern Demrank and file of the party. ocrat, this new born love for internal improvements is of a suspicious character. His antecedents are not such as to inspire entire confidence. He belongs to a species of politicians which were never known to favor the building of works of internal improvement. He belonged to the strict constructionist school that denies the constitutional power of the government to lend assistance to carry out any scheme proposed of the nature of a Vacifie Railway, and we have never learned that he changed his principles on this subject till a nomination for President floated before his vision. There is no proof that he has undergone a real conversion. When has he ever renounced the erroneous doctrine that the government has the right to conquer, purchase, or steal all the territory adjoming, but no constitutional power to improve one rod of ground thus acquired? He has never given to the world any confession of faith that indicates an abjuration of old doctrines which asa southern Democrat he has been presumed to favor. His partizans in the North are, many of them, internal improvement men and doubtless are anxious that the federal goverument shall wield all the power Ly it possessed to open an inter-oceanic communication between the East and West. But we wantcollateral security in addition to the dictum of an aspirant for Presidency that Fremont is au fait on the internal improvement question which above all others is THE question we are interested in. As for tne labored attempts of the Democrats in this State to prove themselves and their nominees Pacifie Railroad men, they are hypocritical to the The letter of Mr. Brent, one of the delegates to the Cincinnati convention, confirms what was known last degree. before, that the Democracy are opposed to internal improvements in any shape by the general government.— Buchanan’s strength, if he has any, must come from the South, and we challeage the production of a single Southern Democrat, who is openly and avowedly in favor of internal improvements, or will consent that there is authority in the federal constitution for their construction by government. Mr. Brent declares that the convention of which he was a member was farmed out to Virginia, a state notoriously adverse to a railroad. The railroad plank attempted to be inserted in the platform was rejected, and not till after the conviction was forced upon the Convention by the delegates from this State, that California was lost to the Democracy, unless a pretense of favoring a railway could be shown in connection with the proceedings of the party, was even an equivocal endorsement of the measure allowed to go before a humbugged people. The resolution attached to the Democratic platform, pretending to favor a railroad to the Pacifie, was designed to catch votes. ‘There is not an honest intention by the party to grant one dollar from the national treasury for the furtherance of the great work. The Democracy of this State know it, and connive at the cheat. What other inference can be drawn from the platform of the party, adopted at Sacramento at the last State Convention ? The old doctrine of a strict construction of the constitution, was on that occasion again reiterated, and every body knows that the Democracy have always denied the Constitution strictly construed, allowed appropriations for canals or railroads to be made by Congress. Again, the administration of Franklin Pierce has been notoriously adverse to the railroad. Yet the Sacramento convention cordially approved “of the . principles and policy ¢f tl.eadginistra. Lon of President Pieres, and urged their -Adeatien and enforcer ent upon all sacThe opposition of Pierce to t ¢ railroad is thus endorse’ by the Dcumocracy of this . State, and recommended, even URGED upon Buchanan in case of his election. What hypocrisy, and what cant! It is refreshing to turn from such an exhibition of cunning and treachery, tothe open, unequivocal position ever occupied by the great statesman, Millard Fillmore, on the question which with Californians swallows up all others.— While President of the United States hestrenuously recommended that measi ; . suceveding administre ions.” ures be taken to connect the great East with the growing West by a great national thoroughfare. But a Democratic Jongress unheeded his suggestions and recommendations. More than once he pressed the great work upon the national representatives butin vain. Democracy; then as now, offered insuperable obstacles to an appropriation. Can the people be so blind as not to see where their true interest lies? We want the man for President who is most reliable on the Railroad question, and Millard Fillmore is the man. He has been tried, and his soundness on this question is beyond controversy. We . must try him again. na A RR AR S (NOT COMMUNIC ATED.) Ir NEEDED not the annovneement in the Democrat of this week, that its editor was yet unable, from the effects of the late fire, to assume his care for its columns. The article (communicated) is conclusive evidence in itself that nobody is at the head of the editorial department of the paper. The writer of that article with all his attempts to counterfeit the lion, could never have deceived the real editor of the Demoerat, but would have been discovered by his asinine appendages, and kicked from the presence of a gentleman. ‘The roaring of the king of forests was attempted, but resulted in the braying of a contemptible jackass. Mr. Communicated, you had better died a “mute inglorious Milton” in your own estimation, than live a puling specimen of insipidity in print. ideas” as if you ever had two consecutive ones in your pumpkin noddle, to get foul of each other. You talk about “assemblages of beasts. "Come along— while we are getting up a collection, we may as well make it full with the addition of a specimen of the genus asinus. You set yoursglf up a censor of style, diction anal grammar ! Was ever known such assumption ? Look, what a scrap of pure English is here. This is only one specimen among numbers : It was not the man alone, that great Whig party followed and idolized, but the embodiment of that conservative spirit which labored but for the good of the country, the toil of whose life, and the glory of whose history is, that ne ever sought to blend together the races of cur land, and unite all sections of our country in one common brotherhood, one great nation, It is useless to point out the bull-head blunders in this abortive sentence.— There are several juvenile schoolsin the vicinity which are very useful to urchins To these the wouldbe critic of the Democrat is kindly recommended. If there is any meaning in the above itis an account of a most remarkable discovery made by the dawdling seribbler, that Henry Clay was a thoroughnewly breeched. going abolition amalgamationist, which certainly entitles the discoverer to a leather medal. Tue N. Y. Heratp.—tThe position occupied by the N. Y. Herald isa strange Not long since no language was too bad for the Republicans coming from that source. The term “nigger worshippers” had its origin in the hatred of the Herald for the northern party. but not unaccountable one. The columns of that sheet present an anomalous picture. The Congressional reports still retain the distinctive epithet of nigger worshipper attached to the name of any AntiNebraskaite. The editorial pages advocate the admission of Kansas as slave state but still support Fremont for the Presidency. * The Herald labors fora price. There need not be a doubt but gold is accountable for the inconsistencies’ of the paper. Nothing but money and in liberal quantities too, could have brought Bennett and Greeley on the same platform to advocate the same cause. The value of the Mariposa grant has something to do with the somersault of the Herald, or perhaps the missing funds which ought to have been paid, the indebtedness of this State, but did’nt, are beginning to show their effects in the editorials of Bennett. GERMANS, see how you are appreciated by your friends. The Cleveland Plaindealer, a full blooded Democratic organ, thus pounces on you. Remember how Tray was served for being foundin badeompany. It says: ‘These German ingrates are known as busybodies and iischief makers in every community where they reside. They were driven out of Germany for their meddlesomeness and are a curse to any country or community. These hairlipped Germans, these red Republicans know it.” Here is the way foreigners are treated by Democrats in this State. Their votes are never amiss on the day of election, but the real feeliugs of the arty will break out at times. The following is an extract from the Calymbia Gazette, copied into the S. F. Neralt: “Americans! when are those muskets—which the wild French, who have been cradled in the lap of revolution, and tho eire-rneised, stumpy Hebrews hold ia (ici hands—when, Isay, are they to be returned to the hands of the native born Americans, from whom they have been treasonably wrested ? When are the powers and principles of humanity to return Judge Terry to the bosom of his distressed wife 7 Ah, men of soul and heart . it devolves upon you to answer these vital questions. Speak out—act ! Do not be deceived. The heretofore advocates of the Vigilance Committee will not take up arms against the Governor andthe Constitution. The Governor has but to ordermen as above commanded, and in twenty days he can get all the men he needs.” New Parer.—tThe first number of the “Republican Banner” a campaign paper published at the Grass Valley Telegraph office, las been laid on our table. It is devoted to the Republican cause, and published by order of a committee of that party. If it would turn its attention to some feasible object we would welcome its advent and wish it ecess in the world of You talk about “confusion of For the Nevada Journal. One of the strongest evidences of Buchanan’s weakness, is the fact that all his organs and professional eleetioneering friends are begging old line Whigs to vote for him, especially they say the Union Whigs should vote for him. Certainly aLL the old Clay Whigs should vote for him, for it was James Buchanan that branded Henry Clay with bargain and intrigue in the election for President in 1824—it was he that imputed to Henry Clay the basest, the foulest act of political infidelity and villainy of which any honorable man could be guilty. If the charge was true, Clay richly merited the execration of every honest man—if false, then was Buchanan guilty of tne vilest unmitigated slander ever uttered by man, and it should sink him so deep in purgatory that the Devil’s deepest shaft would not prospect him. Old Clay Whigs, do you believe the charge ? if you do, for God’s sake vote for Buchanan, elevate the pure aceuser, and stamp iufamy on Clay’s tomb. If you believe the accusation false and malicious, how dare you vote for him,— how dare you endorse the slanderer of him who is now numbered among the pale nations of the dead—whose memory alone lives with his countrymen? If you do, his once manly form ought to start from the tomb in its winding sheet pale and attenuated in death, stand erect before you, point at you with his long arm and skinny finger, and exclain—“Avaunt ye shield yourself under the cloak of Buvile slanderer— chanan, whose assassin tongue sought to damn me in the estimation of all good men—do homage to him, but never again utter the name of Henry Clay. Be thy torments hot asthe wrath of Omnipotence, and lasting as eternity. Don’t tell me youare an old line Clay Whig, and going to vote for Buchanan. You might as well swear you are a good pious christian, whilst you are nightly engaged with the Devil playing old sledge and betting off your neighbors’ souls. The Devil assumed ownership of the whole world, when on the mountain he offered it all to Christ if he would fall down and worship him— when his title thereto was more false and bareless than the Limantour Grant it was more tolerable and consistent than your professed love and admiration of Henry Clay—topped oif with a vote for 3uchanan. Ifyou believe the charge of corruption was false and unfounded (in fact you know it to be so,) how dare you assert the Union would be safe in the hands of a man, who, to further his own political fortunes, would falsely, knowingly and wickedly, stab in the dark, that true patriot and devoted lover of his country, the immortal Henry Clay. OLD KENTUCKY. BarGain and Sate.—Now that the desertion of Mr. Ipsedoodle Ferguson has been made public, it appears from the American that a bargain and sale was known to have taken place two months since, between Frank Washington and Dave Broderick on one side, and said Ipsedoodle, John B. McGee, and Chas. Westmorland, Senators holding over, on the other. ‘The American says fnll particulars of the whole scheme are in its possession, and €t a proper time every thing will be made public.— The aim of the bargain was to elect Washington and Broderick to the United States Senate. If these things are true, the loss of the Senators named will be of infinite gain to the American party, and ought to be substantiated for the good of the If not true, it is due to the accused that a chance may be given them to prove their innocence. In any case the American should make a clear breast of the whole affair at the earliest possiparty. ble moment. Hawks, Ferguson and Westmoreland were the most bitter in denunciations of Flint when he apostatized last winter. But their treachery is ten fold worse than Flint’s. to take a position adverse to a great It required moral courage party inits day of might, and receive the obloquy heaped upon a deserter by the deserted, before assembled numbers. But seeking the miserable pretext of a dubious Presidential contest, te commit treason under, adds the darkest shade to the infamy of apostates. Wilson Flint was not elected by the American party; but Ferguson, McGee and Westmoreland were. If the deed of the former deserved the execration which has been heaped on his head, how much more should the latter suffer at the hands of an outraged people.— We hope the whole affair will be made public for the sake of all concerned.

With the former the professions may be earnest among the But with the leader, Fremont, a Southern Demrank and file of the party. ocrat, this new born love for internal improvements is of a suspicious character. His antecedents are not such as to inspire entire confidence. He belongs to a species of politicians which were never known to favor the building of works of internal improvement. He belonged to the strict constructionist school that denies the constitutional power of the government to lend assistance to carry out any scheme proposed of the nature of a Vacifie Railway, and we have never learned that he changed his principles on this subject till a nomination for President floated before his vision. There is no proof that he has undergone a real conversion. When has he ever renounced the erroneous doctrine that the government has the right to conquer, purchase, or steal all the territory adjoming, but no constitutional power to improve one rod of ground thus acquired? He has never given to the world any confession of faith that indicates an abjuration of old doctrines which asa southern Democrat he has been presumed to favor. His partizans in the North are, many of them, internal improvement men and doubtless are anxious that the federal goverument shall wield all the power Ly it possessed to open an inter-oceanic communication between the East and West. But we wantcollateral security in addition to the dictum of an aspirant for Presidency that Fremont is au fait on the internal improvement question which above all others is THE question we are interested in. As for tne labored attempts of the Democrats in this State to prove themselves and their nominees Pacifie Railroad men, they are hypocritical to the The letter of Mr. Brent, one of the delegates to the Cincinnati convention, confirms what was known last degree. before, that the Democracy are opposed to internal improvements in any shape by the general government.— Buchanan’s strength, if he has any, must come from the South, and we challeage the production of a single Southern Democrat, who is openly and avowedly in favor of internal improvements, or will consent that there is authority in the federal constitution for their construction by government. Mr. Brent declares that the convention of which he was a member was farmed out to Virginia, a state notoriously adverse to a railroad. The railroad plank attempted to be inserted in the platform was rejected, and not till after the conviction was forced upon the Convention by the delegates from this State, that California was lost to the Democracy, unless a pretense of favoring a railway could be shown in connection with the proceedings of the party, was even an equivocal endorsement of the measure allowed to go before a humbugged people. The resolution attached to the Democratic platform, pretending to favor a railroad to the Pacifie, was designed to catch votes. ‘There is not an honest intention by the party to grant one dollar from the national treasury for the furtherance of the great work. The Democracy of this State know it, and connive at the cheat. What other inference can be drawn from the platform of the party, adopted at Sacramento at the last State Convention ? The old doctrine of a strict construction of the constitution, was on that occasion again reiterated, and every body knows that the Democracy have always denied the Constitution strictly construed, allowed appropriations for canals or railroads to be made by Congress. Again, the administration of Franklin Pierce has been notoriously adverse to the railroad. Yet the Sacramento convention cordially approved “of the . principles and policy ¢f tl.eadginistra. Lon of President Pieres, and urged their -Adeatien and enforcer ent upon all sacThe opposition of Pierce to t ¢ railroad is thus endorse’ by the Dcumocracy of this . State, and recommended, even URGED upon Buchanan in case of his election. What hypocrisy, and what cant! It is refreshing to turn from such an exhibition of cunning and treachery, tothe open, unequivocal position ever occupied by the great statesman, Millard Fillmore, on the question which with Californians swallows up all others.— While President of the United States hestrenuously recommended that measi ; . suceveding administre ions.” ures be taken to connect the great East with the growing West by a great national thoroughfare. But a Democratic Jongress unheeded his suggestions and recommendations. More than once he pressed the great work upon the national representatives butin vain. Democracy; then as now, offered insuperable obstacles to an appropriation. Can the people be so blind as not to see where their true interest lies? We want the man for President who is most reliable on the Railroad question, and Millard Fillmore is the man. He has been tried, and his soundness on this question is beyond controversy. We . must try him again. na A RR AR S (NOT COMMUNIC ATED.) Ir NEEDED not the annovneement in the Democrat of this week, that its editor was yet unable, from the effects of the late fire, to assume his care for its columns. The article (communicated) is conclusive evidence in itself that nobody is at the head of the editorial department of the paper. The writer of that article with all his attempts to counterfeit the lion, could never have deceived the real editor of the Demoerat, but would have been discovered by his asinine appendages, and kicked from the presence of a gentleman. ‘The roaring of the king of forests was attempted, but resulted in the braying of a contemptible jackass. Mr. Communicated, you had better died a “mute inglorious Milton” in your own estimation, than live a puling specimen of insipidity in print. ideas” as if you ever had two consecutive ones in your pumpkin noddle, to get foul of each other. You talk about “assemblages of beasts. "Come along— while we are getting up a collection, we may as well make it full with the addition of a specimen of the genus asinus. You set yoursglf up a censor of style, diction anal grammar ! Was ever known such assumption ? Look, what a scrap of pure English is here. This is only one specimen among numbers : It was not the man alone, that great Whig party followed and idolized, but the embodiment of that conservative spirit which labored but for the good of the country, the toil of whose life, and the glory of whose history is, that ne ever sought to blend together the races of cur land, and unite all sections of our country in one common brotherhood, one great nation, It is useless to point out the bull-head blunders in this abortive sentence.— There are several juvenile schoolsin the vicinity which are very useful to urchins To these the wouldbe critic of the Democrat is kindly recommended. If there is any meaning in the above itis an account of a most remarkable discovery made by the dawdling seribbler, that Henry Clay was a thoroughnewly breeched. going abolition amalgamationist, which certainly entitles the discoverer to a leather medal. Tue N. Y. Heratp.—tThe position occupied by the N. Y. Herald isa strange Not long since no language was too bad for the Republicans coming from that source. The term “nigger worshippers” had its origin in the hatred of the Herald for the northern party. but not unaccountable one. The columns of that sheet present an anomalous picture. The Congressional reports still retain the distinctive epithet of nigger worshipper attached to the name of any AntiNebraskaite. The editorial pages advocate the admission of Kansas as slave state but still support Fremont for the Presidency. * The Herald labors fora price. There need not be a doubt but gold is accountable for the inconsistencies’ of the paper. Nothing but money and in liberal quantities too, could have brought Bennett and Greeley on the same platform to advocate the same cause. The value of the Mariposa grant has something to do with the somersault of the Herald, or perhaps the missing funds which ought to have been paid, the indebtedness of this State, but did’nt, are beginning to show their effects in the editorials of Bennett. GERMANS, see how you are appreciated by your friends. The Cleveland Plaindealer, a full blooded Democratic organ, thus pounces on you. Remember how Tray was served for being foundin badeompany. It says: ‘These German ingrates are known as busybodies and iischief makers in every community where they reside. They were driven out of Germany for their meddlesomeness and are a curse to any country or community. These hairlipped Germans, these red Republicans know it.” Here is the way foreigners are treated by Democrats in this State. Their votes are never amiss on the day of election, but the real feeliugs of the arty will break out at times. The following is an extract from the Calymbia Gazette, copied into the S. F. Neralt: “Americans! when are those muskets—which the wild French, who have been cradled in the lap of revolution, and tho eire-rneised, stumpy Hebrews hold ia (ici hands—when, Isay, are they to be returned to the hands of the native born Americans, from whom they have been treasonably wrested ? When are the powers and principles of humanity to return Judge Terry to the bosom of his distressed wife 7 Ah, men of soul and heart . it devolves upon you to answer these vital questions. Speak out—act ! Do not be deceived. The heretofore advocates of the Vigilance Committee will not take up arms against the Governor andthe Constitution. The Governor has but to ordermen as above commanded, and in twenty days he can get all the men he needs.” New Parer.—tThe first number of the “Republican Banner” a campaign paper published at the Grass Valley Telegraph office, las been laid on our table. It is devoted to the Republican cause, and published by order of a committee of that party. If it would turn its attention to some feasible object we would welcome its advent and wish it ecess in the world of You talk about “confusion of For the Nevada Journal. One of the strongest evidences of Buchanan’s weakness, is the fact that all his organs and professional eleetioneering friends are begging old line Whigs to vote for him, especially they say the Union Whigs should vote for him. Certainly aLL the old Clay Whigs should vote for him, for it was James Buchanan that branded Henry Clay with bargain and intrigue in the election for President in 1824—it was he that imputed to Henry Clay the basest, the foulest act of political infidelity and villainy of which any honorable man could be guilty. If the charge was true, Clay richly merited the execration of every honest man—if false, then was Buchanan guilty of tne vilest unmitigated slander ever uttered by man, and it should sink him so deep in purgatory that the Devil’s deepest shaft would not prospect him. Old Clay Whigs, do you believe the charge ? if you do, for God’s sake vote for Buchanan, elevate the pure aceuser, and stamp iufamy on Clay’s tomb. If you believe the accusation false and malicious, how dare you vote for him,— how dare you endorse the slanderer of him who is now numbered among the pale nations of the dead—whose memory alone lives with his countrymen? If you do, his once manly form ought to start from the tomb in its winding sheet pale and attenuated in death, stand erect before you, point at you with his long arm and skinny finger, and exclain—“Avaunt ye shield yourself under the cloak of Buvile slanderer— chanan, whose assassin tongue sought to damn me in the estimation of all good men—do homage to him, but never again utter the name of Henry Clay. Be thy torments hot asthe wrath of Omnipotence, and lasting as eternity. Don’t tell me youare an old line Clay Whig, and going to vote for Buchanan. You might as well swear you are a good pious christian, whilst you are nightly engaged with the Devil playing old sledge and betting off your neighbors’ souls. The Devil assumed ownership of the whole world, when on the mountain he offered it all to Christ if he would fall down and worship him— when his title thereto was more false and bareless than the Limantour Grant it was more tolerable and consistent than your professed love and admiration of Henry Clay—topped oif with a vote for 3uchanan. Ifyou believe the charge of corruption was false and unfounded (in fact you know it to be so,) how dare you assert the Union would be safe in the hands of a man, who, to further his own political fortunes, would falsely, knowingly and wickedly, stab in the dark, that true patriot and devoted lover of his country, the immortal Henry Clay. OLD KENTUCKY. BarGain and Sate.—Now that the

desertion of Mr. Ipsedoodle Ferguson has been made public, it appears from the American that a bargain and sale was known to have taken place two months since, between Frank Washington and Dave Broderick on one side, and said Ipsedoodle, John B. McGee, and Chas. Westmorland, Senators holding over, on the other. ‘The American says fnll particulars of the whole scheme are in its possession, and €t a proper time every thing will be made public.— The aim of the bargain was to elect Washington and Broderick to the United States Senate. If these things are true, the loss of the Senators named will be of infinite gain to the American party, and ought to be substantiated for the good of the If not true, it is due to the accused that a chance may be given them to prove their innocence. In any case the American should make a clear breast of the whole affair at the earliest possiparty. ble moment. Hawks, Ferguson and Westmoreland were the most bitter in denunciations of Flint when he apostatized last winter. But their treachery is ten fold worse than Flint’s. to take a position adverse to a great It required moral courage party inits day of might, and receive the obloquy heaped upon a deserter by the deserted, before assembled numbers. But seeking the miserable pretext of a dubious Presidential contest, te commit treason under, adds the darkest shade to the infamy of apostates. Wilson Flint was not elected by the American party; but Ferguson, McGee and Westmoreland were. If the deed of the former deserved the execration which has been heaped on his head, how much more should the latter suffer at the hands of an outraged people.— We hope the whole affair will be made public for the sake of all concerned.
