Democratic Township Meeting will be held
at‘Justice Clark’s office, on Broad street, on SATURDAY
August 20th, at 2 o'clock P. M., to select candidates, for
Justice’s of the Peace and Constables for Nevada Town:
ship. By order of Central Committee for Nevada township.
Togust 25th, 1857.
Yat Ditriet 1.
On Friday ovening last, Messrs. Stanly and
Zabriskie, the former the Republican candidate
for Governor, and the latter a, nondescript, held
forth to the people of Nevada, in front of the
American Uxchadge. A goodly number were
. in attendance, but judging from the lack of enthusiasm manifested, and the manner in which
the speeches were received, ‘we should say the
crowd was composed mostly of Democrats, with
a few Republicans and Know Nothings seattered here atd there among them.
Mr, Stanly epoke about two hours. Te is not
atall preposeessing as a stump orator, having
a weak volde and bad delivery, and the substance of his speech was but little calculated to
inspire an audience with his great ability as a
statesman, He labored hard to show that the
Republican party in this State was not sectional, and at the same time said he had never read
their platform, and neither knew nor cared any
thing about their principles. He didn’t believe
in platforms, and would not place himself on
~ ones but the people must judge from the acts
oft past life’as to the policy which would
govern him should he be. elected. Much of his
time was consumed in recounting what he had
said and done, during his seventeen years service as a momber of Congress from North Carolina; but as his former career has nothing to
do with our Stato policy, nor even with the
great political questions of the present day, we
could scarcely see the relevancy of itsintroduction in this connection, Mr. Stanly’s biography
may be of great interest to himself, but nething
but an overweening vanity, and a conceited estimate of hig own importance, would induce
him to relate it at such length before a Califorvia audience, It seems he.did not approve of
the Kanéas-Nebraska law, and he differs from
the opinion of the Supreme Court (modest
man?) in the Dred Scott ease, but believes in
sustaining that opinion wntil it is reversed. With
party—in arraying Demoeracy against itself—
and illustrating in our history the fablevef the
lion and the bear, who struggled together for
*l the prize théy had jottly won, until both -were
exhausted,’ when the fox stole away the object
of their contention, The first move in this new
systetn of tactics, is the sympathetic sorrow of
the Nevada Journal, over certain defeated candidates. The oily compliments lavished upon
disappointed aspirants, the ingeniousimpudence
‘with which it infers causes, objects and inten. tions, of which it knows nothing, cannot conceal the fact, that this dispenser of consolation
and suggester of bolting, ever has been, and
now is, the most relentless, uncompromising, .
and vindictive enemy, both politically and socially, of the very parties whom he now insults
‘with bis hypocritical condolences, It'is not,
however, by such gross.and palpable efforts as
this of the Journal, that our enemies labor to’
divide and defeat the Democracy. Men claiming to be Democrats, who have ran the gauntlet
of each ism, and joined each crusade against eur
party, have at last crawled back to the party
which they could not destroy, and in the guise
of friends are lending themselves os tools and
instruments to accomplish the objects of the
sworn enemics of our prineiples and our party.
. To consumate this object, no means within the
resources of falsehood, treachery, or malignancy, has been left unemployed. Men whose lives
have been one eontinual violation of every
principle of the decalogue and of decency, now
preach that morality which they never practiced. Saul among the prophets astonished the
children of Israel; but these men among the
saints out Herods hypocracy. In every part of
the county can be found the slimy trail of these
self-constituted missionaries, and falsehood, detraction and slander, are their means of creating dissensions. Renegades from other parties, the majority of them, however, cannot conceal the sinister motives which actuate them,
and the ears of the aes prick through the skin
of the lion,
Most palpably is this the case with the Grass
Valley genius who signs himself “Miner,” in
the Union of August 22d. How this obscure,
hard-working miner, who lives only in the bosom of his family, should know so much, and so
badly, of the associations of Mr. Plumer; what
a Jackson Democrat can find in the antecedents
of an old line Whig to recommend him over a
knowh and faithful Democrat, the nominee of a
Democratic Convention; what this miner, whose
sole interest is in the mines and gulches of California, can object toin Judge Walsh, one of
the pioneers, and the most enterprising and extensive miner of the county; these and other
glaring inconsistencies in the Unimm’s Grass Val. ley correspondent plainly show that one of our
gangrened opponents has stolen the name of a
Democrat, and assumed that of a miner, to misead the mining community, in whose intedligence and integrity lies the strength of the Demobracy. The unanimous endorsement of Mr.
Plumer by a Democratic Convention, must outweigh with the people the slander and detraction of such a Jackson Democrat. If the antecedents and position of Judge Walsh do not answer his puerile insinuation, these qualities are
of little avail. This Jackson Democrat well
knows that Judge Walsh is engaged exclusively
in quartz mining, and that for the purpose of
inducing foreign capitalists to embark in this
expensive and hazardous business, he has asked
that the miners of the State, through their legislators, endorse and encourage this species of
mining. Of all men, he would be the last to
wish for the sale of the mineral lands, Constantly engaged in mining operations, his ouly
hope of retrieving the fortune he has spent in
developing the resourdes of this county, is in
having the public lands still open to his enterprise aud energy. Where our Senatorial nomWhere

Wa. F. Anperson, Esq., Sir ;—Owing to the manner in
which you had written the name Myers, we, (as well as
other gentlemen,) had mistaken it for Rogers, and eonseuently wrote to you in regard toa man of that name

“pace faster than a walk,’ and fined, the former

it is supposed that a conspiracy was concocted
among some wags, to get him into the scrape.

“JOHN MYERS, (German) admitted June 27th 1857.

Consequenly for any furtherinformation on this subject
we must refer you to the above named gentlemen,
Respeetfull
W. D. Avserr,
THos. KENDALL.
Mr. Anderson has written again, to endeavor
to ascertain more of the particulars of this singular transaction, butas yet bas received no
answer. The fact that Meyers was discharged
so soon after his reception in the Asylum, would
lead one to believe that his insanity was only
assumed, le was, or professed to be. a raving
maniac when he left this place, and he could
scarcoly have recovered iu the short space of
two weeks, if his insanity was real.
Mr. Pucmer’s Posrrion.-We understand that
seme inquisitive gentlemen of this place, have
ascertained that Mr. Plumer is in favor of early
rains, and are using this fact with great effect
against him with river miners. We are authorized to state, that Mr. Plumer has expressed no
opinion upon this question, and further, that he
was not the cause of the late universal influenza;
that he was not in the last dog fight, and has no
hand in the next war; that he is in favor of good
diggings, with the bed rock of a proper pitch,
water the year round, an equitable temperature,
an addition to eur moonlight nights, and an immediate reform and general improvement in everything, As this gentleman’s orthodoxy is
inee is known he requires no defenders,
he is unknown, the character of bis assailants is
his best recommendation.
In the coming election the Democratic party
the exception\of some confused remarks upon
the State debt, in which he left his hearers in
doubt whether or aot he was iu favor of paying
it, he had nothing to say upon any question of
State policy, During his speech he was listened
to with respectful attention, although there
were few among his auditory that sympathized
with him or his;principles. Mr. Stanly may be
avery pious, upright man, but he is not the
nian for Governor. of California, —
Col. Zabriskie spoke about an hour. Two
years ago, when tho proseriptive principles of
Know Notbin
the land, 'this’
the ablest champions of Democracy, and his
speeches upon that occasion were universally
admited and applauded. His present position
is not easily defined. He seems to be trying to
occupy a medium ground between Democracy
and Black Republicanism—the principles of
the two parties being so widely asunder that he
cannot make the transitien at one leap. . By
another year we shall expect to find him a fullfledged freedom shrieker. He professes to still
belong td the Democracy, ‘but instead of defending the policy and principles of that party
from unjust assaults, he denounces it, without
gense ef reason, as being the cause of ‘all the
evils which’afflict the people of the State. He
evidently has a personal spite against Col! Weller, whieh was occasioned by the latter gentleman refasing to récommend him for the position of United States Marshal for the Northern
District of this State; this, in some’ measure,
accounts for his support.of Stanly, while at the
same time he declares his intention of voting
for some of ‘the Democratic notinees. His
comments upon the killing of Keating at Washington, by Herbert, and Col. Weller’s connection with the trial, were so evidently dictated
private malice, ‘that they'failed entirely of
he object intended, Aa the legal adviser of
Herbert, it was'the duty of Col. Weller to defend him,’ and whether the verdict of the jury

must triumph, But the defeat of its opponents
is not all of its victory, In this contest it will
learn who are Democrats from principlé, and
who from policy, It will remember those men
who work with us when they can use us, and
against us when we act for ourselves and the
people; who recommend and pledge themselves
and their best efforts to Kaow Nothing candidates, and work for their endorsement in, Republican Conventions; who flood the journals
of our opponents with abuse, and poison the ear
of the public with falsehoods against our nominees,. These men all true Democrats know,
mark, and will remember. Their puerile efforts
but discloses their weakness, and without aecomplishing their object unmasks their treachery. Their fidelity to Democratic principles is
fully illustrated in their conduct. Consistent
only in their hypocracy, timid in their enmity,
they pretend friendship for us, and stab with
the hand of onr enemies. 4
Against all this, against the onslaught of open
foes, and the machinations of secret enemies,
our nominees are before the people, with the
endorsement of the delegates of the Democracy.
Unable to trace each covert foe, scorning to
answer each vile assertion, they stand the representatives of Democratic principles, upon the
Democratic Platform, well assured that in the
coming contest, Democracy will be true to itself
and true to its principles.
Mint Roppery.—A man named Wm. Bein
was arrested in San Francisco ou Thursday last,
charged with robbing the U. 8. branch mint at
that place. It seems that he has been carrying
on a systém of petty thieving for several years,
by carrying off every day a small pieee of gold
of the value of four or five dollars, until it has
amouztited in the aggregate to’a heavy sum—
almost enough to raise him to the dignity of a
defaulter. Some $8,000 or $10,000 have been
recovered, and the culprit was lodged in. the
station house for trial. Bein has been engaged
at the mint ever since it was started. He helped putup the machinery, and has since been
émployed as a clipper.” The evidence against
him seems to be conclusive.
' Jevar Moxsos’, of the Sacramento District
Court, resigned his office, and left on the steamSee ler of the 20th, for the Atlantic States.
questioned upon general priaciples, we take this
occasion to set him right before the community,
upon a féw specific points of public interest.
Democratic Merrincs,—The Democracy of
this county are fully aroused to the importance
of turning out and sustaining the cause, and
with it the true and tried men who are made its
standard bearers in the present contest. On
Saturday evening last a large and enthusiastic
gathering of the people of Rough & Ready was
addressed by David Belden and J. C. Palmer of
this place, In Eureka township, the tenth legion of Nevada county, the Democracy are alive
and at work. On the evening of the 23d a
spontaneous meeting was held and was addressed by Hon J. C. McKibben, and Richard Moyes,
Esq. We are informed that the spirit and enthusiasm manifested on the occasion has rarely
been exceeded in any former campaign.

Arrivan or Immrcrantrs.—A party of immigrants arrived at Placerville on Friday last,
having left St. Joseph’s, May 9th, with mules
and loose stock. At Gravely Ford they found
the Recorder was at the head of the conspiracy,
but upon inquiry, we are satisfied that neither
Mr. Hupp, nor any of the city officers, had any
thing to do with it. Mr. Webster was endeayoring to trade horses with Gray, and the two
rode out a short distance to show off the fine
“points” of their horses, In coming back, Gray
induced Webster to run at a furious rate across
the bridge, by telling him, that although it was
contrary to the city ordinance, there never was
but one man fined for fast riding, and he was
drunk at the time. A report was also in circulation, that the fines had been remitted by the
Recorder; but the gentleman who acted as counsel for Mr. Webster informs us that this was not
the case,
Mvurper and Roppery.—On Friday afternoon,
aman named Gilbert, who lived at Jefferson
Caiion, near Washington, was fonnd murdered
in his cabin. His head and neck had been literally cut to pieces with an ax—there being no
less than nine mortal gashes—and his head was
nearly severed from bis body. Suspicion rests
upon some Indians who had been stopping for
some time in the neighborhood, and who left
the evening of the murder and came to Nevada.
Indian tracks were seen about the house, and
a powder-horn and two shot-pouches were taken
from the cabin, Gilbert was in Washington on
.
Friday morning, where he got intoxicated, and
was taken home drunk. and left by his friends
lying on the floor. The night previous to the
murder, the house of Mr. Jones, which is near
Gilbert’s cabin, was robbed of a lot of women
and children’s clothing, a black frock coat, and
an accordeon. Indian tracks were also found
. about Jones’ house.
Warer Works.—It will be seen by the special
election notice, published in another column,
that an arrangement has been entered into between the Trustees of this City and Messrs. Mc. Roberts & Co., for supplying the city with water
for fire purposes, which has to be ratified or
rejected by a vote of the citizens, The election
is called for the 16th preximo, and the matter
is likely to be thoroughty discussed before that
time, so that the people will be able to vote
. understandingly. Two prepositions were before the Board. and a majority of the Trustees
considering this one by far the most advantagous for the interests of the city, adopted it, subject to the ratification ef the citizens.
Avprror’s Report.—The report of the County
. Auditor, which will be found in our advertising
that a white man had been murdered by the columns, giving as it does a very full andcomIndians. They contirm previous reports that) plete exhibit of the receipts and expenditurres
white men were among the Indians, attacking
and robbing the trains.’ A number of trains
had arrived in Carson Valley, and others were
pouring in. In and around the Valley, they estimate the number of stock already arrived, at
over fifteen thousand bead.
C. E. Pickerr.—This gentleman has recently
written a pawpblet, entitled, “Repudiation, the
Supreme Judges, and the newspapers.” He
favors the repudiation of the State debt, and
the election of Judge Bennett, He does not
inform us who his favorite is for Governor, but
he will undoubtedly throw the immense weight
of his influence for Mr, Stanly.
Carson VatLey.—A mass meeting was beld
in Carson Valley, on the 8th inst., for the organization of a new territory in the Great Basin. The following localities were represented:
Honey Lake Valley, Eagle Valley, Carson Valley, Willow Town, Rag Town, Twenty-six Mile
Desert, Sink of Humbolt, Walker’s River and
Valley, Hope Valley, Lake Valley. The meeting was quite spirited, anda memorial. was
drawn up setting forth the matter in full, the
same to'be presented for the consideration of
the President aad. both Houses of Congress.

the destruction of the county records, and
which may still be outstanding, is something
