The best and most true answer Civ
en- by Democrat the day after the
election in Orovlle, to Fillmore man,
who was surprised to see such Dem
ocratic majority over Fremont and Fill
more, to which the Democrat replied :
That all Democratic votes were sent
by the Goddess of Liberty to defend
and maintain our glorious Constitutions
al right and to defeat those blind mar
row minded factions, which never by
their selfish speculations could compre-
hend and regard a Government found
ed on the great and sacred principles
of DEMOCRACY.

Owing to the 'fusion" and sympa-
thy of feeling and action between the
"Union-sliding" Republicans, and
the "Union-loving" Fillmore men,
whereby both parties united on La
throp and Smith, throwing off Barber
and Dick, the election for Members
of Assembly is rendered somewhat
close, and it may be that we shall be
compelled to announce the fact that
Lathrcp, the Know-Nothing- -Repub-
lican candidate, has been elected over
Long, Democrat. Should this be so,
the Republicans will probably, have
the pleasure of seeing Mr.. Lathrop
vote for Governor Foote for United
States Senator, a man who has done
more than any one man to ridicule
and put down the Republican party
IN California.
1t is strange that the Republicans
had not the sense to see that the
effect of the union could not possibly
effect anything but the election of La
throp. Hundreds of Fillmore Men,
like Ned Marshall, would ssVote for
the Devil. in preference to Black
Republican. Notwithstanding the
fusion of the two parties, the Repub-
lican candidate is more than three
hundred behind his know-Nothinc
brother. This is one false step of

among them

As an evidence that We shall soon
have steamer running to Oroville,
we have only to refer to the fact that
OrovilIe has succeeded in every under
taking. When the Feather River
and Ophir Water Company's Ditch
was commenced, the town plot Of
Oroville was marked out, and we have
a town. They put in a bid for the
County Seat, and up went a magnif-
cent Brick Court House. We de-

manded q line Of Stages to Shasta,
and we have them. The necessary
amount Of stock has been subscribed
fer a Telegraph, that is now being
constructed. The want now is to be
the head of navigation on Feather
River, with Steamers plying regu-
larly between this point and the lower
cities. OroyiIle is a place of too
much importance to be without such
communication, and there's too much
capital invested in river Steamers,
lying idle in Sa ramcnto, for Us to
be longer overlooked.
The canvassing of the votes in the
Oroville precinct, was concluded
last evening at seven O'Clock. 1t
will be seen by the vote that Long
and Morrison, Democratic nominees
for Members Of Assembly, lead the
highest Know-Nothing, Black Re-
publican fusion candidate, one hun
dred and four votes This renders
the victory of the Democracy of old
Butte complete over the combined
efforts Of the opposition, and their
yenomous and vindictiye misrepre-
sentations of Mr.. Long. The game
would have been a beautiful one, if
It had been successful, and it is evi-
dent they held the cards to win had
they been properly played. 1t was
a desperate game, and turned out a
magnificent Gzzle Three cheers for
Democratic Butte! Hip! hip.
An EDITOR IN HEAvEN.-Under
the above caption an exchange gives
an obituary of brother of the quill,
from which we extract the closing par
agraph:
"Are we not also glad that such
an editor is in Heaven?
"There the cry of more copy shall
never again fall upon his distracted
cars. There he will no more be abus-
ed by his political antagonists, with
lies and dcraction that should shame
a demon to promulgatc. There he
shall be no more used as ladder for
for the aspiring to kick down as soon
as they reach the desired height, and
need him no more. There he shall
be able to see the immense masses Of
mind he has moved, all unknowingly
and unknown as he has been, during
his weary pilgrimage on earth.
There he will find all articles credit
ed, not clap Of his thunder stolen,
and there shall be no holrid typogra-
phical errors to throw him into fe-
yer. We are glad the editor is in
Heaven"

Topics OF the Day.

The grand battle has been fought,
and to-day the result will be known
throughout the Atlantic States. The
Steamer that leaves New York to-
day, comes freighted with the intelli-
gence of the momentous contest thro'
which the country passed on yester-
day. What that intelligence will be
whether the verdict Of the people
will be in favor of or against the
Union-we shall not entertain a
doubt. Our confidence in the intel
lgence, patriotism, and devotion to
the Union, of the people Of the north
ern States, will not permit us to
doubt but what they yesterday sealed
their devotion to the Union by de-
claring their preference for the dem
ocratic nominee, James Buchanan
And not until proof positiye-not
until the damning evidence is forced
upon us beyond the possibility of
doubt will we believe that the party
who erased from their banner fifteen
of the States composing the American
Union, have elevated their inexperi-
enced leader to the Presidency, to
inaugurate the downfall of the only
republican government in the world.
The steamer bringing the intelligence
of the triumph of Union principles,
in the election of James Buchanan,
or the triumph of the sectional and
disunion party, is now casting loose
from her moorings in New York.
Better that the sun Of the 4th of No
yember, 1856, had never arisen
better that the steamer should never
reach her Observation-Disclosures that
the sun of yesterday should have went
down in blood, than that the conse-
quences of the election Of yesterday
should lead to a dissolution of the
Union, and the destruction of the
American Republic.
Now that the excitement of the
election is subsiding and men begin
to reflect upon the consequences of
their action, should the result realize
the worst fears Of national men of all
parties, there are many who have re-
manned neutral in the contest, or
rather assisted in the election of
Fremont by voting for Fillmore, who
will regret the course he pursued on
Yesterday. Many who voted for
Fillmore have done so honestly-but
the leaders-those who have swcllcd
the Fillmore vote, with the hope of
securing loealollices, have fearful
responsibility resting upon them. The
hope of every true patriot. whovever
may be called to preside over the
destiny of the nation for the ensuing
four years, Is that it may tend to the
happiness and prosperity of our com
mon country.

voters Of Butte County.
From the scattering and irregular
returns which we have received, we
are unable to demonstrate the cleo
ton Of both Of our nominees for the
Assembly. The vote here, 50 far as
counted, and reported majoritiss from
other precincts within the county,
place both beyond the probability of
defeat. The Democracy of Butte
have covered themselves with glory,
IN defeating this most unholy and un-
principlcd coalition. The Fillmore
party to this fusion, told the Fillmore
County Convention which nominated
him, that he should consider the
election Of Mr.. Fremont the greatest
curse that could befall the American
Union, and he duped the friends Of
Fremont into supporting him. The
fusionists were determined to make
the Vigilance hobby assist in placing
them in power, and started a false
and infamous report to the effect that
Mr.. Long had stated that he only
desired to be elected that he might
assist in hanging the Vigilance Com
mittee of San Francisco. This was

NUMBER 2
Am Unjust Law.

Many Of our citizens are probably
not aware, that there exists upon our
statute book. law requiring every
person who buys Gold Dust (it matters
not how small the quantity) to pay in
to the treasury of the State, most
oncrous tax.
Now it seems that this burthensome
and unjust enactment Of Il sapient Lc-
gislature, smacks of what is termed
special legislation, and was evidently
designed to benefit few, to the detri-
ment of the many. But in order to
arr5re at this conclusion, let us take o
view of its operations.
\ miner after hard weeks work
comes to small mining store, III
small mining place, and must sell his
dust, to pay his hired men, and to pro-
cure what he needs, but he is told by
the keeper Of the store, that not being
allie to buy enough Dust to justify him
in procuring license he cannot pur-
chase, without the liability of incur
ing heavy fine. This fact compel5
the tired miner to post off to some re-
mote village or town. Here he finds
that through the insirumentality Of this
most outrageous law, the business of
buying Dust Las fallen into the hands
of few wealthy bankers, who having
established that bane of California,
monopoly compels the miner to sell,
at what ever price these money kings
deem fit to give.
This law is of the same character as
the Gambling Law of '53-That speci-
GUS enactment, whilst it had the effect
of closing all the small gambling hells,
concentrated and improved the trade
of the larger ones.
Gold dust is part of the currency
of this State, and as such, should be

tions. A. l..

men. Had the national sentiment Of
the northern States united, we doubt
not but the response would be over
whelmingly in favor Of national
man. The verdict has been render
ed whatever it may be, and until the
lapse Of time shall break the seal,
and show us to the contrary, We shall
trust that enough Of the northern
States to elect Mr.. Buchanan, have
done as California has-dcclared for
the whole country, and for James
Buchanan for President.
We learn from Mr.. Garriott, that
the California Steam Navigation
Company require that two thousand
dollars should be subscribed towards
removing distractions from the river,
before the Company Will start q
boat to remove the snags. Some
fourteen hundred dollars has been
already subscribed, and we are conf
dent that the required amount can be
obtained with all ease. Capt. Lind
ley was here when all was excitement
concerning the election, or we doubt
not that the required amount would
have been Immediately taken. This
is one Of the most important projects
for the Advancement of the town and
the interests Of the county, and the
small amount required by the Com
pany to place us in communication
with the Bay, should be subscribed
Immediately, in order that the OBJ
structions may be removed before
the rains shall swell the river and
render their removal impossible tol
the season. Every man in the coun-
ty is interested in securing the nav
igation Of the river to this point

daily bread, and whose tools woult

done, freights from Marysyillc vii
advance to double their present fig

munication altogether. Mr.. Gar
riot, who has the subscription list,
Will circulate the document, and give
all chance who desire to aid in the
undertaking, which will be the means
of making Oroyille a permanent and
prosperous city.

The Black Republicans Of New
York have nominated Fred Douglass
for Secretary Of State, but the Frib-
une objects to bis nonina ton to that
office, on the ground that his services
arc needed as a Representative at
Washington. For once the woolly
heads have thus made an honest dec
laration of their principles and be
lief. This ayowed willingness to at
tempt an amalgamation of the whites
and blacks, and their readiness to in
suit to the Representatives of the
South by the commission of so dis
graceful an outrage as sending a fu-
gitive slave to Congress, stamps the
entire party as traitors to the Union
1t cannot indeed, be possible that the
people of tie great State of n. York
are so utterly lost to all feeling of
self-respect as to elevate an African,
however capable he may be, to an
office of high trust, so long as there
are white men of ordinary ability
among them.

Capt. Lindley, Of the California

been in town for the past two or three
days, soliciting subscriptions to ena-
bic the company to remove the snags
from the river between this place and
Marysyille, informs US that the a.
mount required of our citizens, will
be readily subscribed. Capt. Lind
ley went below last night, for the
purpose of starting boat up the river
to remove the snags. The river is
lower now than it has been for years,
and it has been demonstrated that
there Is plenty of water for the lighter
draft steamers to approach Oroyille,

an improvement which interests every

of the county, and We hope soon to
have the privilege of chronicling the

Butte record., 1856-11-08

The news from the various portions
Of the State, renders it certain that
the Democracy have swept the State
Ike Il whirlwind, and that their ma
jority against Fillmore viii exceed
the expectations Of the most sanguine.
We are free to confess, however, that
Mr.. Fillmore has made a much bet
ter run than we had anticipated, and
that the Republican vote is much less.
When we take into consideration the
fact that, California was one of the
''sixteen States composing the Ere
mont Republic, and which was going
to elect him President, has gone
against him with nearly all Of Fill
more's vote to spare, 1t is probable
that there may be some one or two
other of the 'sSweet sixteen" claimed
by JESSIE that may do likewise.
Indeed, we are satisfied that a large
majority of the people of the north
ern States are opposed to the eleva-
ton of sectional President, and
were they not divided between Bu-
chanan and Fillmore, there is not a
doubt but they would declare against
the Republican party. 1t impossi-
Bile that Fremont has carried the
great State of New York, if he has
carried it at all, by anything but a
plurality, and should the Republi-
can party succeed, it will be by the
elevation of minority President,
and the consequences, whatever they
may be, will be the result Of party
prejudice, and blind adhesion to
