Butte record. (Bidwell, Butte County, Cal.) 1853-1858, 1855-08-04
[For the Butte Record


citizens of Forbestown and vicinity On the
evening Of that day, started out on horse
back Friday afternoon at P. NJ and reached
the town at tea time | should not. however,
omit to mention that on the trip Up, | found
the roads much improved since I last passed
over them; and that the spirit Of improve
ment seemed to be prevalent over the entire
district Of country between Bidwcn and
Forbestown. The improvements recently made
and those now being made, indicate perma-
nent settlement; and Judging from the i'm
| proyements, we reckon that those making
them, intend to make California their perma-
nent homes. Sensible people those.
But must not stop now to dwell upon the
merits of our young and prosperous State =
suffice it to say, that 10 stronger evidence
should be asked, of our rapid advancement,
than the fact that, where some five years ago,
the Indian digger, and the huge grizzly con-
tended Tor the supremacy, splendid mansions
are now seen ''making away towards the
!, Heavens" and a we'll conceived form of law is
|
encd race of people-the common law, admin
istered in common law Courts.
On arriving at Forbestown. learned to my
regret, that Gov. Bgler was not there, and
was not expected there that day, nor on the
next. But, hearing that the Democratic can
didates for Office in Yuba County, or most of
them, were to be at N. Y Flat, on Saturday,
and not feeling at all unwilling to spend few
hours in f., determined to wait until Satur-
day evening, AMI hear the Yuba candidates at
N. Y. Flat-a distance Of about one mile from
Forbestown.
So, on Saturday, at P NJ, in company
with several gentlemen from Forbestowu.
went over to N. Y. Flat. and was exceedingly
glad to see our old friends Judge Haun, Judge
Reardon. Mr.. Aud. Mr. Montgomery, and
others whose names | now forget, candidates,
of Yuba County. Assembled ON tbs ground,
at which platform for the occasion had been
prepared, were some $50 persons, all appear
ing eager to hear what the ''apostles Of De
mocracy'' had to say in favor of their party
and the 'bloody furriners," and against the
i pseudo American party.
Finally. at P NJ, the speaking commenced,
and, 1--WE cannot dcscant at large upon the
speech of each one,> think that fairer ex-
pose of the fundamental principles of the De-
mocratic party, and of what it is believed tcill
be sound Democratic policy in future, never
was given; and, that the fallacy Of the doc
l.. -
made plain, even to the members of that
Order, think no one can deny. The speeches
of Judge Haun and Mr.. Montgomery, in par
ticular, were sound and logical, and ''struck
at the heart" feel proud for Yuba County,
that she has such deck of candidates as She
has in the field, an. further, feel proud to
to think they ,cM be elected
Judging from what was said, am of opin-
ion that in Yuba, as in this County, the party
called the K. n. party, was organized for the
purpose CT getting Offices to seek certain men
whom they would not seek, while connected
with the old Wing and Democratic parties
By the way, speaking of ''offices seeking
men, and not men the Offices" will just say
frankly, that l, though modest man, went
out office seeking, being a Democrat, and that
another Democrat went with me, MS | suppose
Office seeking also; but, that while out. where
We found, including ourselves, one man chasing
the Offices around, we found half dozen,
bakers dozen at that,l Know Nothings being
chased around by The Offices! But such Is
the fieetness Of some Of the animals rode b}
some of them, that entertain no fears f5l
their safe escape from the clutches Of official
servitude-and official In
After the speaking closed, We all, who went
from ForbestowD, returned thther, when, in
the evening, visited F01bestown Lodge, No
so, F. and 4 NJ, and was gratified to see
their good work anl their apparent property
But one more thing must mention-last,
but not least, the miners at, and in the vicinity
Of Forbestown, are busy, busy as miners are
always wont to be, and are taking out the
needtu too. Heaven prosper them All the
harm wish them, is, not less than an ounce
per dag. plenty to eat and drink, clear con
sciences, and clear stomacAs
Taking all things into account, am con-
WINGED that the prospects of the anti -furrner
party, are not so very bright in Butte and
! Yuba. as the Gen. of the Marysvillc Herald
would have US think they are.' But, if the
Gen. can puff and gas more into the Order of
K. Ms, It's we'll enough for him-Td hate to
do so.
On Sunday evening l came home-somehow

COHESION OF PEUNDER.-Such is the head
ing of an article in the Marysville Herald of
the 3lst, in which there is some large talk
about the union of the Democracy, and the
cause of their adherence to the party and its
principles Speaking of the party and its
members, the editor says =
