most heartily endorse the Whig platform us adopted by the national Whig convention at Baltimore, as well as the platform laid down by the Whig State convention at Sacramento. Resolved, That the Whigs of Placer county unitemost cordially with their brethren througiout the Union in upholding and sustaining the series of compromise measures as established by the last Congress, and that we deprecate the fur ther agitation of the vexed questions by those measures so happily and equitably settled. Mesovled, That the" Wlusis of thiscoun- ty also Cordialjy unite with the Whigs throughout the State aniKUnion in ad vocating such a system of national inter- nal improvements as will foster and protect the great interests of the Republic, and, as California Whigs, shall most earnestly advocate the construction of the great ranroaa across me riams, uenevmg the same to be stridtlv national in its character, and necessary to the develop ment of the immense resources or our la-vorite State. Resolved, That the only reasonable hone that can be entertained of the ac complishment of this stapendous work, and kindred enterprises, such as tne removal of the obstructions in our navigable rivers, the construction of light hous es, as well as liberal donations of public lands, and an equitable arrangement in regard to the public domain in California, is to be lound in tne utmost oeteat oi those aspirants to Presidential honors, Pierce and King; the former having ac quired his nomination from the so called democratic party by bis uncompromising hostility, as shown by his speeches and his every vote to. every species of internal improvement by the general government; while the chief recommendation nf the atter is to be found in his bitter and un ceasing opposition to the admission of our beloved California into the sisterhood of republican States.

Kesolved, 1 hat in the nomination and almost certain election of the great defender of the American flair and the pre server of the integrity of the Union, Gen. Scott, and the sound statesman, m. A.

Auburn, Sept. 1 1th, 1852. tf A LARGE and splendid assortment of Fine and Heavy Boots and Shoes just sll-tf WM. luck in the "good time coming." Taking Dinner. The Indians near Mineral Bar, North Fork, and the china men, have not been on good terms of late A few days since the Natives watched the celestials at a 'distance, while they were cooking their dinner, and as soon as it was done, made a descent upon them and run them off, after which they regaled themselves at the expense of the "broth ers of the sun." There was no blood spilled, but the Indians left the celestial housekeepers to cleanse their dishes after they had appeased their hunger, a most impolite way of trespassing upon neigh bors.

Thanks. Our Express friends have our thanks for many favors. Adams Co. were first with files from the Atlantic States, but Wells Fargo, and Gregory followed close upon their heels. lhey are all kindly remembered.

Lynching. On Monday night last a negro was arrested at tseais car, ior stealing a watch. A people's jury was empannelled, the theft confessed, and thirty-nine lashes duly admintstered. Mend your Ways. There might be some slight improvement in the streets of Auburn.

A word to tbe wise, Slc. 03" Auburn has had several nar row escapes from fire recently, all from a careless leaving of matches. Too much caution cannot be used to guard against the devouring element. Political. The citizens of Placer county are among the most ardent politicians in the State.

Since we have been here, there have been two poles raised at Ophir, one for either party; two conven tions held, and three candidates for Congress addressing the dear There's a good time coming, boys!" CO" We had intended makingthe Her ald one column larger to the page, but fearing that we might get out of paper, we have decided to curtail the proposed fair proportions. 'Wait a little longer." Chinese War. There was quite an excitement a day or two since, between the Chinese and Indians' A report came in that an Indian had murdered and rob bed a chinaman, whereupon the celestials turned out in full force, capt. John sported a large saber, and liberal rewards WJie offered for the offenders. Two Indians were Brought in and lodged in jail over night, but were turned loose next day, there being no proof against them.

Thus ended the only excitement which has disturbed the quiet of our town for several weeks past.

Every variety of job printing can bo executed at the office of the "Placer Herald," in the best manner and on the sliunesi uuifcc- nl see Thanks to our advertising friends, their favors have been numerous and are duly appreciated.
