Butte record., 1856-09-20
Speech of Col. Pey-on.


ing was much smaller than any previous
one heldin Oroville, since the opening of
the campaign, and little diversion that oc-
CURED early in the evening, showed conclu-
5lvely that large majority Of those in at
tendance, were Democrats
The short notice given, rendered it impos-
sible for anything but an Oroyille and Vi
cinity audience to ass mble on the occasion,
and that will account for a majority of those
present being Democrats.
The speech of Col. Peyton was not one Of
his best according to the views of his friends,
and it is intimated that another opportunity
will be given him, in order that he may re-
deem himself with an 0rovile audience =
As it was the irst time we ever had the
pleasure of hearing him, it was impossible
for US to determine whether he was doing
himself justice; but we certainly felt dispos-
ed to give him the credit of exctling the eff
fort of Tom Cox, on the occasion of the Black
Republican demonstration. 1t was not such
a speech as the reputation of Col. Peyton
had led us to expect
/ There were several unfortunate Interrupt
tions, Of which Col. Peyton should have the
full benefit, and which no one regretted to
see more than ourselves We believe in ex-
tending to every party, and to every speak
er. a fall and impartial hearing. and trust
that the citizens of 0ro7il.e will ever be
found ready to do so.
Col. Peyton stated on Saturday eeening,
that Mr.. Buchanan had been a rank FEEDER
alist, and opposed to the war of 1872. Mr.
Buchanan vas, undoubtedly what was tenn
ed a Federalst; but it is a matter of hsto-
ry, and of fact, admitted By Mr.. Clay in
Senatorial discussion, that Mr.. Buchanan
volunteered his services, and shouldered his
musket to defend Baltimore from invasion
by the British. Does this look as if Mr. Bu-
chanan sympathized with England and
against his country IN that memorable strug-
ele' And yet we understood Col feyton
to say that Mr. Buchanan had done 50.
1t is a fact which none of the opposition
speakers attempt to gainsay, that Mr.. Blu
chanan was ever an ardent admrer and
warm supporter Of Gen. Jackson. He snp-
ported him in 1924, when Gen. Jackson was
first candidate for the Presidency, and
assisted in his election in lS2S, and has ev-
er engaged the confidence and es eem Of that
/ pure patriot and Statesman. We ask the
/ Democracy to remember these facts, when
/ they hear james Buchanan assaled as a
Federalst by the opposition speakers.
Should Col Peyton again address the cit
liens of 0royille, we trust that he may be
permitted to proceed without interruption,
and will endoavor to review his arguments
in more extended manner
The meeting exhibited great falling of
/ Of Fillmore enthusiasm in Oroyille; but we
are not disposed toc,ow over the mislortunes
of our opponents, and viii give them an op-
/ portunty to redeem themselves At the
same time, we want them to understand that
/ Orovlle is Democratic, and if they wish to
carry the place against the Democracy. they
must use arguments to convince the Democ-
racy that they are wrong, and that James
is not a Democrat.
ANoTHER LUC1Y.- Through the kindness
o. our friend, Joe Welch, the gentlemanly
Barkeeper al the Bark Exchange, who call
ed upon us and insisted upon our taking it,
we were forced to overcome our native mo-
desty and reluctance to receive presents.
and accept of a flowing bowl of brandy
punch such punch as only Joe can make.
and such as only Editors ever get taste Of.

MURDER--Y Yesternight, at ''the very
witching hour when Churchyards yawn,
and h-ll itself breathes out contagion to
this worll."-the report of ire-arm was
heard, and the shrll cries of slaughtered
victim startled the silence of the midnight
air
Several persons hearing the sounds of dis
tress, ran with brcathless haste to the scene
of the tragedy, and got there just in time to
see a lore and defenceless por6er, "swine
away ard give up the geese
DELIcIoUs.--Th pitcher Of wit inspiring,
soul stirring recherche, magnifque and de-
lectabe exins, that was received at the
hands of Messrs Brouillette & Lukn. of the
United States, is only equalled by their gen

IMPROVEMENTS AT THoMPsoN's FLAT-
This place weakened; rather let down during
the past summer, in consequence of there
being no water to work with. They have
not been idle in the mean time, but have
been prospecting extensively; sinking shafts, /
running tunnels, discovering quartz lodges.
and developing the mineral resources of that
locality.
1t has been, and now is, one Of the most
