doctrine was thought by the Democrats so obnox- ious, that it would destroy the Republican party in California; but instead, it seemed to increase it.
The canvass was made very bitter by the many personal allusions, made by Senators Broderick and Gwin, and charges against Mr. Latham, which were brought into discussion at almost every meeting.
The election occurred September 7, 1859, resulting in a Democratic success in State and county. The vote in the State for Governor was: M. S. Latham. Democrat, 44,028; John Currey, Anti-Lecompton, 24,180; Leland Stanford, Republican, 8,466. In Placer County, for Governor, M. S. Latham, 2.326; John Currey, 1.117; Leland Stanford, 896.

BRODERICK AND TERRY DUEL.
The returns of the election were but just counted and made known to the people when David S. Terry resigned his position as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and challenged Senator David 6. Broderick to a duel. The assumed provocation was the remark made by Broderick, in the June preceding, that he " once said Terry was the only honest Judge on the Supreme Beuch. but I now take that back." Undoubtedly the irne canse was the bitter enmity between Broderick and the leaders of the Southern Democrats, of which Terry was the representative. The duel occurred on the 13th of September, result- ing in the wounding of Broderick, who died on the 16th of the same month. The death of Broderick created a vacancy in the Senate, and gave the oppor- tunity to the Democratic Legislature to elect an undoubted Democrat in his place. 11. P. Hann, of Yuba, was appointed United States Senator by the Governor to till the position until a successor should be elected.
M. S. LATHAM ELECTED SENATOR.
The Legislature met January 2, 1860, Lieutenant- Governor Downey presiding in the Senate, and I. N.
Quinn was elected President pro tem. Phil. Moore, of Nevada, was elected Speaker of the Assembly. On the 9th, the Legislature met in joint Conven- tion, and elected Gov. Milton S. Latham United States Senator, for the unexpired term of D. C. Broderick. The Democrats of Placer had held meetings at various places in the county, subsequent to the death of Broderick, and expressed. preference for Gov. J. B. Weller for Senator. These expres- sions were responded to by all the delegatiou in caucus, with the exception of Senator Lect, who voted for Governor Latham.
On the 14th of January the newly-elected Senator resigned his position as Governor, and was succeeded in office by J. G. Downey.
LEGISLATION FOR PLACER.
The Legislative enactments affecting Placer, were the incorporation of Auburn. and submitting to the people of Auburn the proposition to subscribe 850.000 to the stock of the Sacramento, Plaeer, and Nevada Railroad; also an "omnibus" bill, authorizing an election in the county of Placer, to vote on the proposition of the county subscribing $100,000 to the stock of the Sacramento, Placer, and Nevada Railroad: $25,000 to the stock of the Eastern Exten- sion Railroad; to donate 812.500 to construct a wagon-road from Secret Springs to Carson Valley, and the same to construct a wagon-road from Dutch Flat to Carson Valley. The election on the project of Auburn subscribing 850,000 for the railroad was held June 4, 1860, resulting in a majority for the proposition. The county election upon the other projects was held June 27th, resulting in a negative majority. (See chapter on Railroads.)
JAMES ANDERSON
Was a native of Pennsylvania, born in Erie County, in August, 1822. When abont seventeen years of age be removed to the State of Kentucky. where he studied law, and was admitted to practice as an attorney and counsellor in May, 1843. Sometime after this date, and before the opening of the Mexi- can War, he removed to Tennessee, and, in 1846, enlisted in the United States Volunteers, and with the first troops raised in that State went to Mexico. He was made a non-commissioned officer, and served as such through his term of enlistment. On his return in 1817, he was honored by the President with a commission as Second-Lieutenant, and returned to Mexico, where he remained until one year after the close of hostilities. For a short period he resided at Rio Grande City Texas, engaged in the practice of his profession. Like many thou- sands of his comrades in arms, he emigrated to Cal- ifornia, arriving at Stockton in the spring of 1850. There he opened a law-office and was soon after appointed District Attorney for San Joaquin County. This office he held until the fall of 1851. He removed to Placer County in the fall of 1852, making his home in Auburn. As a resident of this county he

POLITICAL HISTORY OF PLACER COUNTY.
always took part in public affairs, and was a most prominent and useful citizen. For some years he was Captain of the Placer Rifles, a military company which he organized. In 1856-57 he was editor of the Placer llerald, and, in the election of the last- named year, was elected by the Democratic party to the State Senate, to fill the unexpired term of Hon. Joseph Walkup, who had been nominated for the office of Lieutenant-Governor, to which position he was chosen at the same election. In the succeeding year, Mr. Anderson was elected to the full term as Senator. Upon the expiration of his term great changes had occurred in the organization and strength of parties, there being four in the field in the campaign of 1860. Mr. Anderson was the nominee of the Breckenridge wing of the Demo- cratie party for the position of District Attorney, and Jo Hamilton of the Donglas wing, t'. J. Hillyer of the Republicans, and M. E. Mills of the American party. In this contest Mr. Hamilton was successful. In 1863 Mr. Anderson went to Arizona, and located at Prescott, where he practiced his profession as a lawyer, until his return to Auburn in 1866. James Anderson when in Arizona, Jannary, 1865, was Clerk of the Assembly, and at the close of the session the following resolution was passed unanimously :-
Resolved, That the Clerk of this House, Hon. James Anderson, has exhibited a masterly knowledge of his duties, and has discharged them with industry, fidelity and impartiality; that bis courteous bearing insures him our esteem as a gentleman; that we tender him the thanks of this body as an officer."
He had returned to Auburn where he had so loug resided and prospered, to make it his permanent home, but he returned only to die. While seated in the Herald office, so pleasant a home to him, where be had formerly been partner and editor, he sud- denly expired of heart disease, on the 12th of Octo- ber, 1866, aged 44 years. Thus is given in brief the data of the principal events of a very busy, worthy. ambitious, and eventful life. The many scenes of early life, war, and politics, of which James Ander- son had been a part, would, if fully told, constitute a most interesting biography, including much of the history of our country during an active and important period. As a soldier, attorney, journalist. politician, and legislator, he was of the superior class, and attached in his friendships by the most enduring ties.
CAMPAIGN OF 1860.
With 1860 came the culmination of the political changes set in motion by the compromise measures of' 1850, excited by the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, aroused by the Dred Scott decision, accelerated by the extension of slavery into the Territories, and gathered into an overwhelming tempest by the attempt to force a pro-slavery Con- stitution upon the State of Kansas. Each of the great measures were thought, or claimed. as anthor- ized by the National Constitution and to settle the
slavery question forever; but cach enactment gave additional cause for agitation and strength to the opposing forces.
THREATENING ASPECT OF PARTIES.
As parties arose in the East their influence soon extended to the most distant borders, and national politics controlled the votes of every county. In California the counties of the Sierra then predom- inated in wealth, population, enterprise and intelli- gence, and Placer was one of the leading of these, as at the present. Polities was discussed in every town, and hamlet, and mining camp, and an able City and country press kept the people well informed. Upon national questions the people divided into parties, and local officers were selected accordingly. Different statesmen suggested differ- ent methods of adjusting the threatening difficulties, and each had his adherents. A President was to be elected, and four parties entered the contest. Two of these, the Democratic and Republican, were parties of action, presenting positive principles, and two, the Douglas Democrats and " Union," with vacilating, undefined, conservative principles. One violent in its aggressions, the other determined in its resistance, and cach claiming to be the resisting one and charging the other as aggressive.
National Conventions for the nomination of Pres- idential candidates were to be held at Charleston by the Democrats, and at Chicago by the Republi- cans. The Republican County Convention met at Auburn, February 20th, to elect delegates to the State Convention, which was to meet at Sacra- mento on the 22d. and the following were chosen: P. II. Sibley, S. R. Case, J. A. Sheldon. Lyman Stan- ford, F. B. Higgins, J. Ives Fitch, R. McClelland, and George Haycock.
The county delegates to the Democratic State Convention, which met at Sacramento February 27th, were Thomas Hearn, D. B. Curtis, L. L. Bullock, R. t'. O'Neil, M. Fannon, W. H. Bullock. J. H. Neff, James R. Rogers, Joseph Walkup, James Herrick, Wm. M. Crutcher, D. F. Hathaway, and Horace Smith.
The Chicago Convention nominated Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, for Presilent. and Ilannibal Ilamlin, of Maine, for Vice-President. The Charles- toon Convention failed to agree upon candidates, and the delegates of several States withdrew, agreeing to meet at Washington on the Ith of June, and the Convention adjourned to meet at Baltimore on the ISth of the same month. At the Baltimore Convention a division again took place, resulting in two Conventions, at one of which John C. Breck- enridge, of kentucky, was nominated for President, and Joseph Lane, of Oregon, for Vice President; and at the other, Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, was nominated for President, and Herschel V. John- son. of Georgia. for Vi Pesilat. John C. Bell, of Tennessee and Edward Everett, of Massachusetts,

were named by the Union party as candidates for President and Vice-President.
The Republican State Convention met at Sacra. mento, June 20th, and nominated Charles A. Tuttle, of Placer, Charles A. Washburn, of San Francisco, Wm. II. Weeks, of Sacramento, and Antonio Maria Pico, of Los Angeles, for Presidential electors. -
The election comprised, besides the Presidential electors, legislative, county, and township officers. Conventions were held, and all parties placed candi- dates in the field. The campaign was long and vigorously conducted. The result was portentous of great events. Deep feeling, rather than enthusi- asm prevailed. The ablest speakers of every party traversed the country. Of the Breckenridge Demo- cratic orators, were Judah P. Benjamin, of Louisiana, Senators Latham and Gwin, Frank Tilford, A. P. Dudley and others. For the Douglas Democracy, were James A. MeDougall. Joseph P. Hoge and others, and for the Republicans, Thomas Fitch, Col. E. D. Baker, then Senator from Oregon, Charles .A. Tuttle and others, as well as the various candidates. The Democratic Signal newspaper, with R. C. Poland as editor, was established at Auburn in August, as a support for the Douglas Democrats, and the Courier at Yankee Jim's also advocated the same party.
.
Among the questions to be voted upon at the election, was one calling a Constitutional Convention. and another for payment of the State debt. The first had been voted upon at previous elections. the requirement to carry it being a majority of all the votes cast. The people had paid but little attention to it. and the question had not received the requisite vote. The State debt, amounting to $3,000,000, bad been declared by the Supreme Court to have been contracted in violation of the Constitution, which prohibited an indebtedness exceeding 8300,000, unless approved by a vote of the people. A certain amount of the debt had been voted upon in 1858, but there was an amount of 8250,000, that had not been sub mitted, and this was left for the approval or repudi- ation of the people. at the election in November, 1860.
THE ELECTION-LINCOLN THE PRESIDENT.
The election was held November 7. 1860. The National electoral vote was: Lincoln, 180; Brecken- ridge, 72; Douglas, 12: Bell. 39. The ('alifornia vote for the highest elector on each ticket was: Lincoln, 38.734: Douglas, 38,023; Breckenridge, 33,975; Bell, 9,098, Total. 120,031. The partisans of the Legis- lature were classified as follows: Senate-Douglas Democrats. 19: Breckenridge Democrats, 11; Repub- licans, 5. Assembly-Douglas Democrats, 38; Breck- enridge Democrats, 22; Republicans. 19; Union b.
The vote of Placer County for President was: Lincoln, 1,712; Douglas, 1,868; Breckenridge, 1,118; Bell, 776. For a Constitational Convention, 4,518. To pay the State debt. 4.971; to repudiate, 301 Total vote in the county, 5,834. Again Placer had
voted to call a Convention to revise the Constitu- tion, but in the State the vote failed of a majority of all the votes cast.
The surprise was general that the electoral vote of California had gone for Lincoln, the Republican can- didate, and to Democrats the news was viewed with consternation. But four or five years previously the speakers of this party had been mobbed when attempting to speak in public, and were constantly denounced as Abolitionists, Black Republicans, and many other epithets then considered insulting and damaging. He who enunciated its principles in advance of publie opinion was William II. Seward, United States Senator from New York, a man much respected throughout the South for his ability, hon esty, and urbanity of manner, and he had been the expected candidate of the party for the Presidency, and great disappointment had been felt when it was given to another. Lincoln was not a popular candi- date, and the vote given him was dictated by prin- ciple, and not by the attraction of the man. Doug- las had been long and favorably known, and claimed the revered name of Democrat, but maintained a bold and firm opposition to the extreme pro-slavery measures of the party, and thus attracted to his support many who professed the principles of the Republican party. His Democracy and his personal popularity also attached to him many who were classed as pro-slavery men, among whom were Philip W. Thomas, candidate for Senator, and Jo Hamil- ton, on the same ticket, for District Attorney. The crystallization of parties resulting from the dissolu- tion of the old was not yet complete. Two of Placer's newspapers also advocated the Douglas party, and thus it carried the county.
The nominees of the several parties for Legislative and county officers are given in the following returns of the election of 1860 :-

The county officers took their positions on the first Monday in December, in accordance with the statute of 1858. Those retiring were commended for the faithful discharge of their duties.
J. A. M'DOUGALL SENATOR.
The Legislature met at Sacramento January 7, 1861. Pablo De Le Guerra, Douglas Democrat, was elected President of the Senate, and after near two weeks balloting R. Burnell, Douglas Democrat, of Ama- dor, was elected Speaker. The question of the elec- tion of United States Senator to succeed Dr. W. M. Gwin was the political feature of the session. The Douglas Democrats, having the plurality, were expected to name the successful aspirant, and as a consequence presented the greater number. Of those mentioned were Judge Joseph G. Baldwin, J. W. Denver, John Conness, Edmund Randolph, and James A. McDougall. John Nugent was the Breck- enridge candidate, and Timothy Guy Phelps was presented by the Republicans. This matter remained undecided until the 20th of March, when James A. McDougall received 56 votes of 111 cast, and was declared elected.
A STORMY SESSION-THE REBELLION.
The session was quite a stormy one, the "state of the Union " constituting the great theme of dis- cussion. Shortly after the Presidential election, in 1860, the State of South Carolina passed an ordi- nance of secession, and was soon followed by other States of the South. The question debated was the right of a State to secede from the Union, and the right of the General Government to coeree a State to remain. Upon this, when the Placer Herald was called a secession organ, it indignantly repelled the assertion, but replied that it was equally opposed to eoercion, saying, " It is no more possible to hold the States together by force of arms than to pluck the stars from the firmament of heaven."
President Buchanan, in his efforts to stay secession and avert war, appointed Jannary 4, 1861, as a day of national fasting and prayer for the preservation and peace of the Union. The day was accordingly observed with solemnity at Auburn and other places in the county.
CAMPAIGN OF 1861.
President Lincoln was duly inaugurated on the 4th of March, 1861, and on the 19th of April the
war of Rebellion eommeneed by firing upon Fort Sumpter, in Charleston Harbor. The President called an extra session of Congress to convene at Washington July 4th, but owing to the time of election of Congressmen, California would be nnrep- resented until after the general election in Septem- ber. Under the eensus of 1860 it was believed Cal- ifornia would be accorded three Representatives, but no apportionment was made. By apportionment of the Legislature the Assembly delegation of Placer County was reduced to three members.
The campaign of 1861 was for the election of a Governor and other State officers, two members of Congress and a Legislature. Although the State was authorized to elect but two members of Congress, and but two were nominated in Convention, the belief existed that the population justified the elee- tion of three, and three were elected.
The Democratie State Convention met at Sacra- mento June 11th, but owing to the non-attendance of members adjourned to meet again on the 23d of July. Correspondence passed between the two Central Committees of the Breckenridge and Douglas Dem- ocrats upon the subject of consolidating the ele- ments of the party, but was ineffectual. At the adjourned Convention the following nominations were made: For Governor, John R. McConnell, of Nevada; Lieutenant-Governor, Jasper O'Farrell, of Marin; Congress, HI. P. Barbour, of Tuolumne, and D. O. Shattuck, of San Francisco; Justice of Supreme Court, Wm. C. Wallace, of Napa; Controller. S. H. Brooks, of San Joaquin; Treasurer, Thomas Findley, of Nevada; Attorney-General, Tod Robinson, of Sacramento; Clerk of Supreme Court, C. S. Fairfax, of Marin; Surveyor-General, II. A. Higley, of Ala- meda; State Printer, M. D. Carr, of Yuba. Frank Ganahl, of Siskiyou, was added as a candidate for Congress by the State Central Committee.
The Republican State Convention nominated: For Governor, Leland Stanford, of Saeramento; Lieu- tenant-Governor, J. F. Chellis, of Trinity; Congress, T. G Phelps, of San Mateo, and A. A. Sargent, of Nevada; Justice of Supreme Court, Edward Norton, of San Francisco; Attorney-General, F. M. Pixley, of San Francisco; Clerk of Supreme Court, F. F. Fargo, of Alameda; Controller, G. B. Warren, of San Joaquin; Treasurer, D. R. Ashley, of Monterey; Surveyor-General, J. F. Houghton, of Solano; State Printer, Benjamin P. Avery, of Yuba. Frederick F. Low, of Yuba, was subsequently added as a third candidate for Congress. The Convention was large, highly respectable and enthusiastic.
The Douglas County Convention met at Auburn July 2d, nominated a Legislative ticket and Super- intendent of Schools, and appointed delegates to the State Convention, to meet at Sacramento July 4th. The nominations made at the State Convention were: For Governor, John Conness, of El Dorado; Lieu- tenant-Governor, Richard Irwin, of Plumas; Con- gress, Henry Edgerton, of Sacramento, and Joseph

HISTORY OF PLACER COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
C. Mckibben, of Sierra; Justice of Supreme Court, B. C. Whitman, of Solano; Clerk of Supreme Court, George S. Evans, of Tuolumne; Attorney.General, Geo. W. Bowie, of Sacramento; Treasurer, Joel T. Landrum, of Shasta; Controller, James E. Nutt- man, of San Francisco; Surveyor-General, J. J. Gardner, of San Francisco; State Printer, John R. Ridge, of Nevada. Douglas died on the 6th of June, leaving his name as the title of a party, and political principles which, in the radical changes soon to follow, were to be swept away as the mist before the storm.
Three parties were in the field, but only the Demo- cratie and Republican showed any well-defined prin- eiples or object; the Douglas appearing as composed of men not knowing which side to take. or that, with the elements so disturbed, their opportunity was better to rise to the surface and obtain an office. The war of the Rebellion had begun, and several battles were fought during the campaign. The excitement was intense, and partisan feelings were bitter. The Republicans were evidently the strong- est, and, as Unionists, were supported by the Douglas Democrats, and these made common cause against the Democrats, who were denounced as rebels, secessionists, copperheads, and other opprobrions terms.
SUCCESS OF THE REPUBLICANS.
The election was held September 4, 1861, giving the majority in the State to the Republican nominees: For Governor 119,731 votes were cast, of which Leland Stanford received 56,036, John R. McConnell, 32,751, and John Conness, 30,944. A. A. Sargent, T. G. Phelps and F. F. Low were elected to Congress. The vote in Placer County was:
