Butte record., 1854-06-24
Nbir County canrea.:o,.

ber present was barely sufficient to make q
respectable precinct caucus. Eat By ALLOW
ins those IN attendance TO cast the full vote of
each precinct, they mauaged 70 cast twenty
seven votes. This looks very well in the
proceedings, and as we counted but fifteen
men present, il shows what small bat unan-
imous body of men can accomplish Acting

The Convention presented rs their candidates
for the Assembly, the names of \. Il. Barber
and C. 6. Lincoln. Mr.. Barber We believe,
resides at Chico, and is presented as the val
ley candidate We have not the pleasure Of 4
personal acquaintance with the gentleman,
but have heard him spoken Of As Il man OF line
talent, sound JUDGMENT, with decided ana
publicly expressed abolition tendencies. In
this, there IS a huge mistake somewhere, as no
man Of sound Judgment, can entertain aboli-
tion sentiments. We trust this will prove in
correct fer VIC should certainly regret to see a
person entertaining such sentiments receive

Mr. Lincoln is an excellent yaung man, and
informed the universal wh:g party in conyen-
tion assembled that his nomination was quite
unexpected to him, but none the less crafty
ing. In thanking the convention for the
honor conferred upon him, he showed pro-
fundity of research that would have done
credit to older heaIs, and spoke toelingly Of
Harculesin in connection with the Augean sta
Bile dicker, and thought he would have lai1i
down his five tined fork in despair, if his job
had looked as big rs ihat now before the whig
party. The gentlemen felt confident that he
could put his heel on Broderick's s neck if he
was elected to the Legislature. He has been

precincts in order to lay the claims OF whig-

For Public Administrator, they have pre-
gentlemen wh5 has long been a resident Of
Bidwen. The same may be said Of his orpo-
nent, Mr.. HOBART. As the office is not a very
lucrative one, we would advise the candidates
not to pull each oihers hair during the can
vass, but to keep cool, and let the one defeat

The resolutions which will re found with
the proceedings OF the convention, in another
column, were adopted seriatim, in order that
all might understand their bsariog, WewiT

they have pursued so long that 'f.he memory
Of man runneth not to the contrary" They
always take strong ground against something
imaginary. and the result Is Tat they seldom
succeed, and cannot Io.-ain successful when
they do, for the reason that they have no
formulation upon which to stand. Taair fine
theories founded upon false positions falls TO

The result is that their candidates start upon

tism in their legs, caused by a wen-directed
blow against nothing, 10 accelerate their loco

The second resolution deprocates the fact
that the northern interests Of the State have
been neglected, while moneys appropriated
to survey tic passes of the Nevada. have been
squandercd in the southern portion of the
State. Considering the fact that the people
