By reference TO the resolutions adopted BY
our county convention, it will be seen that. 50
far as this county Is concerned, the demand is
made in an emphatic manner, that the just
rights Of northern California te no longer
In doing this, the democracy Of
Butte were not actuated by any vain desire to
take the lead To have let cur convention
pass by without giving expression 70 this uui-
versal sentiment OF the people, would have
been unjust to ourselves, and hada tendency
to weaken our claims. In making this de
mand, then, it is hoped that the democracy Of

demand tAas cne Congressman, and the next
I. s. Senator lie chosen from the north, and
that these officers be chosen from among the
people. and not from the seryile tools OF San
Francieeo's hungry cormorants. They might

thumbs of her corrcpt politicians.

deavors TO secure the next Z. S. Senator to
the north. San Francisco has had every
Senator that has yet been sent to Congress
from California, and has made her arrange

years, To carry out her schemes and appro-
pirate these Offices to her fayoritcs, she is
ready to use any and every means, however
