MARYsvILLE, Feb. 10, 1854 =
/Fditor Butte Record:
Dear Sir:--As the pretended Democratic
organ of this place, refuses to publish any
>thing in its columns which initiates against
! its own cherished doctrine, and as that same
would be mouth-piece of the party will charge
US with coalition of the wings, should we
publish in the Herald, and knowing that your
| journal has not (recently at least,) been pur-
chased by those who would suppress all opin-
lens but their own but still maintains its in
tegrity as a Democratic paper, and dares to
speak as those who
"Know their rights.
And knowing, dare main tain them,'
we address you, for the purpose of showing the
people of the State, that hhere are some DEM
| ocrats of Yuba, who still spurn the Dictator
ship of the wire workers of San Francisco, as
much as the Erpress itself did upon the Sec
ond nomination of Gov Bigler. Then the
people of the north felt that they had an ad-
vocate in that journal, and medium through
which to make known their wants, and de-
mand their rights. And for time the Ear
press seemed steadfastly resolved to make for
itself high destiny But after q "fying WIS.,
it, of Mr.. Broderick to Marysville, and
flying visit of the Editor of the Express to
San Francisco, ga change came DER the spirit
of its DREAM" not that the quality of the
dream changed, for it has always been gold
en- one, but changed in quantity. The opin-
ions of the Erpress have always been some
thing like the Scotehman's flea when you put
your finger on it, it was not there" The Re-
publican guessed right the first time, when it,
said sit beat the little joker" First, whild
it supposed more money could be made by bel
ing independent, it was as the Herald says
''furiously neutral But ''a change came
Ger the spirit of its dream and then it was
''furiously' democratic, and equally rabid
against ''the gentlemen who thrust themselves
forward as dictators," and called upon the
democracy of the north to sustain it in as
suring the said dictators that the nomination
of Bigler was ''their last triumph" But ga
change came Ger the spirit of its dream'' and
To- we see it now bowing in lowly submission
to ''those gentlemen who thrust themselves
forward as dictators and hear it calling upon
the same democracy of the north to sustain
it in this too. Verify! the democracy of the
north" would 60 flea catching in reality to at
tempt to keep track of, and sustain all the
opinins of the Express
But short time since the democratic organ,
truly represented the people of Yuba, and the
people north, on the qustion of removal of
the capitol and sometimes got really furious at
the idea of a removal to Sacramento. But
''presto changel" or ssabracadabrea," or in
celestial style ''one dollar, how much p or
some other magic words are heard, and '-now
where is the little joker' put in the last place
you would look for it, that is in Sacramento
How long the democracy Of Yuba will stand
quietly by and see themselves served up in
so ridiculous manner, we hardly know-but
we fear the ErpresS will soon experience a
practical Illustration of the fable of the s'dog
and his shadow" and will find that in grasp
ing after too much, it has lost that which it
really had. But even should that Journal
lose everything else, it will be sure of gaining(
two things, aud those are the pity of its friends
for its weakness, and the contempt of its ene-I
mes for its venality.
\ Yours, 'BOOTS."(
