Butte record. (Bidwell, Butte County, Cal.) 1853-1858, 1855-03-17

democratic party, if not controlled, d.
vivided and distracted by vote If their
former associate, the Hon. H. P A.
Smith of Marin. We know not what he
was in Maine, but he disguised the
wings of Butte ard Plumes countirs by
the vociferous avowal of whig doctrines
and constant plea for Office. Hi, po-
litical course aptly qualities him to be-
come the 6gure-head of the Gwin faction.
He is now with the majority. and would
doubtless b. in the majority should the
State 20 wing. Behind him stand the
great Gwin faction. He SAYS to the de-
mocracy of California, be control ed or
4 ded and defeat, d, and the sinks Of po-
liticaI corruption in San Francisco echo
the mandate of this app~tate and rene
gade whig, and when ask ,e unite on
some other man, point TT umPhantly to
their fgure-he I'd, and preach about the
time -honored usages and customs Of the
party! Yes, you have majo iiy! A
round your chief have eenteccd political
weather-crcks like turkey buzzardS
roand carcass. An occasional cagele
in the motley crew, cannot conce the
fostering corruption Of your centre.
You hold up time-serving and dough-
faced politicians as supporters ola dem
ocratic administration. The man who
now gives Gwin a majority in caucus,
in 80 was blaating, roaring wing,
making our hills and valleys echo back
bis thunder in opposition to the 'lemoc-
racy of California, which he has now the
honor to control. His present infuen-
tlal position must be very gratif, ing to
bis vanity, for; 1--WE quote distinguish

Another Hon. gentleman, elected by the
Know Noihinss of San Francisco, occu-
pies prominent place amongst these
majority democrats. Another gentle
men in lhe majority b had TIL h nor to
represent Free Silc Nj waukee in the
Wisconsin Legislature, where their public
meetings not only denounce The admins
tration, but also the laws of Congr. IS.
What "bogus" democracy California
has to be sure, when they refuse to be
controlled by such genuine Democrats !
Give these time-serving and dough faced
politicians, Il scent at whig carrion of
spoils, and we should be much mistaken
if they were not ready to show their al
legiance to whiggery BY asserting tina il
they had drop Of Democratic blood in
the If veins, thy would let it out And
yet they are all claimed as democrats
and as such they give the CIV n faction
majority. We have made the correc-
ton, and acknowledged the corn
We mot, however, resist the refec-
ton that OWNS majority will lead hi
fac ton as booless chase as was the
FOOLS Of Scotland, who followed the stag
coach sixty mills in hopes to see the
crash, when the big wheel overlook the
Ii tie one
Had the democracy united upon and
elected Gwih, we should have cherfullv
acqniesced, although we have strenuous
y opposed his re election, as every one
hid a right to do, if they chose We
stated sometime before the Legislature
assembled, that we considered it lmpos
sible to unite sufficient number Of Dem
ocrats upon Gwin to secure his re elec>
ton, and theeesult has shown the correct
ness of the opinion then formed With
this view of The case, We hav,. urg d the
necessity Of union upon sumo 9th r
man everything for the party, and
nothing for men. 1t is worse than foll>
to tax about a majority, when IN jori-
ty can effect nothing when at best the,
can only postpone an election-the effect
Of which may be to divide our represen>
tatIon and d stroy lis inf 'ence in the
Senate. If the Times and Transcript
consid RS it democr tic to postpone an
election because it is i'm possible TO elect
certain man, W. cannot b Up it; bu
God never made the man for whom we
would j. pardIze or destroy the demo-
cratic party-not even to secure the APP
pointment of store-keeper at the port Of
Heaven.
