The EIeetion---The Result.


Well, the electi is over, and as the
smoke of the battle clears away, we are
cnabsed to obtain an imperfect list of the
killed and wound d. Never before was
there such an election in free America ;
never before had Americans bound
themselves wi h Obligations which COIN
PEELED them to vo'e a certain ticket
never before have Americans elected an
absconding thief to Office, knowing him
to be such The Kye-Eye Coroner ell CT
of Butte County, "fier receiving Lis
nomination, purloinrd funds from a
friend, and left for Texas to avoid the
consequences. Under the oath of the
infamous and degrading order of SELF
styled Americans, who swear to support
Gin all political matters, for all political
Offices, members of thi, X. N. order
in preference TO other PERSONS" this
absconding thief has b en- elected to Of
flee, because it members scratched their
tickets, the penalty of their obl CATION is
that Of ''being denounced ia all the So
cietics as wilful traitor to lis. 4:od and
his country"
Never before have Amcrie.. Ms r, duccd
themselves to. the level of asses and
slaves BY oblgating themselves to obey
the President or his deputy, of an infa
nous, contemplate political association
Yet such has been the case in the pres
ent election, and when a member ex-
pressed his intention of voting against
their ticket, or a portion of it, the obi
CATION was drawn on him, and he was
compelled to swallow the ticket or leave
the polls without voting. 1t has been
the boast Of our country that American
bayonets could think (; in the present
election extremes, meet, and American
voters have surrendered the right OF
thought by obligating themselves, to be
controlled by majority Of their con-
temptible order, to- prefer members Of
their order over all others, and to obey
the President Of the State Council
Men who have taken such, obligations
have the impudence to. boast that they
are free Americans. The simple stub
bornness of the Jackass renders him su.
perior to all such Americans. They are
not content to be freemen, but Sc them.

The vote of the county will be nearly
double that Of last year. aud had it not
been for the colonies of Kye-Eyes at
Thompson's Flat, Ophir and Bortes-
town, Butte would have given a clean
democratic majority. At the latter
place we are Informed, some sixty truth
loving Kye- Eyes, who had no residence
in the county swore in their votes. BY
such shameful proceedings did this dis
graceful and corrupt party attempt tc
foist their disgusting and contempt
lille ticket, upon the people of Butt,
County. But their efforts were no
wholly successful. 1t will be seen BY
the following vote, that the democracy
have succeeded in electing their Sherif
and Clerk, and probably their candidat,
for Prosecuting Attorney Johnson's
majority over Bigler will not excect
$50. There are 20 precincts to come
in, which will considerably increase the
democratic vote:

Legrain made over all he possessed, but

solemn devotion lately, the bishop is said
to have uttered with unusual JUNCTION the
thanksgiving for refreshing showers,
which had just then begun to moisten

words were uttered, the rattling drops
increased in numbers and force, until
the whole audience were electrified, as
it were, with the coincidence. 1t is said
that the members of the convention from
the country gave one of the loudest and
most heart-gushing "amens" to the pray
er that ever was heard in old St. Peters.
