Ibe Contest.


end to show, that the contest in the pres
mt campaign, is to be contest between the
Democracy and Black Republicanism--be-
tween Buchanan and Fremont This being
The case, every man should ally himself to
hat party which approximates the nearest
10 carrying out the views which he believes
best calculated to advance the permanent
interests of the country. In the changes
now going on, it is hardly to be expected
that party will be found to carry out in
all their minuta, the views entertained by
those who now feel that it is their duty to
leave their party, and seek another, but it
is the duty of such men, to join that party
whose platform comes nearest to their ideas
of correct political doctrines.
Events tending to crowd Mr.. Fillmore
from the canvass, are occurring with suoh
rapidity, as to leave no doubt, Of the result
which sectional minds and sectional men are
endeavorng to force upon the country
The time honored whig party are no more
Those who have been proud to enrol them
selves under its banner, in days Lang Syne,
are now called upon to decide new issues,
to join or oppose new parties
The American party, has no longer Ma
tional existance. There is no longer rea-
sonable hope among its candid friends, OF
success. Those who have remained stead
fast to its trusts, can now only aid in the
accession of political doctrines they heartily
despise, by longer continuing to keep up
their organization, and sustaining the Phil
adephia nominations. Should the Amerl-
cans concentrate all their forces, and use
their utmost endeavors, until the ides OF
November next, they could not reasonably
expect to succeed in electing their nominees
indeed, they cannot carry electoral votes
enough to throw the election of President in
to the present Black Republican House of
REPRESENTATIVES, and we shoald like to in
ouire of the American party, what they ex-
pect if the succeed in doing so? Did not the
present House of representatives 60 outside
of the American party, to choose BLACK
Republican Speaker? and what guarantee
have the friends of Fillmore, that he would
be chosen, should the election 60 before the
House, None-positively none-and the
American party cannot hope to carry over
four of the thirty-one states by vote of the
people. The American party in the north
ern States, has become Republicanised. 1t
is fast becoming so here in California. They
can effect nothing by maintaining a sepa-
rate organization, and their duty will be to
take sides with the Democracy, or aid in the
ascendency of one portion of the Union
over another. Men are now taking sides
upon the issue now before the people, by
dozens. Every day papers are filled with
the names of those who have expressed their
determination to support the Democratic
nominees. May the good work continue,
until it will be found impossible to publish
list of those who have determined to sup
port National men in preference to sectional
Black Republicans.
While these changes and encouraging cir
cumstances are transpiring around us, why
should the Democracy of Oroville,or of Butte
County, remain divided and allow negrophil-
ism to triumph over them because of some
trifing local difference' Let US follow the
example set by some of our old opponents, ,and
surrender our personal views for the bene-
fit of the people at large. Why should the
Democracy differ about trifes, when firm
straightforward and consistent course on
our part, will bring to our aid the good, the
correct, and, sound National men Of oil par

We we're Justin our usual luck, that Is in
GOOD time to be too late to witness it.
