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
ligence, 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 poSitive-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 che triumph of Union principles,
in the election Of James Buchanan,
or the triumph of the sectional and.
disunion parry, is now casting loose
from her moerings in New York.
Better that the sun Of the 4th of No
vember, 1856, had never arisen
better that the steamer shoala never
reach her Observation-Disclosures that
the sun of yesterday should have went
down III blood, than that the conse-
quences of the election of yesterday
should lead to d 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 lcaders-those who have swalled
the Fillmore vote, with the hope of
securing localof1ices, have fearful
responsibility resting upon them. The
hope OF every true patriot, whoveyer
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.
Capt. Lindley, of the California
Steam Navigation Company, who has
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
Marysville, 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

THE Circus last evening was crowd
ed to repletion with delighted auditors.
The performance of the whole compa-
ny was indeed, as meritorious as any
thing of the kind we have ever wines
sed, either in California or elsew here.
The feats executed by the ladies' at
taehed 10 the company were particu-
larly pleasing. Miss Whittaker's rid
ing was really superb, and the grace
fuf performance Of Madame Austin on
the tight rope, was at once, wonderful
ly skilful and daring. Mr.. Peoples
reputation as a rider is already too
widely known to- need any comments
from US, as is also that of Frank Whit
taker the clown, and Messrs. Lee and
Hinkley.. The managers arc highly
deserving. Of success.

The race for the township Offices
was the liplie2t ever witnessed in Cal
ifornia. The number Of candidates
for the Offices of Justice and Consta-
Bile, was almost incredible. Those
Offices appeared to be the hight Of
everybody's ambition, and the rust
ling, swapping, and combinations ex-
ceeded all calculation, and many who
saw defeat staring them in the face,
pronounced the whole thing a swindle.

DEAD.-Mr. John Sullivan, the man who
was accidentally shot during the affray that
occurred at the Democratic head quarters
on Monday night. expired yesterday
afternoon about 3 o'clock. This is the
saddest casualty that has ever happened in
Uroyiile. Mr.. Sullivan was an old resident
Of this county, and has ever been highly re-
spected by his numerous acquaintances, as
an eminently honest. trustworthy, and in.
dustrious man, and an enterprising, useful
member of society. lie has been for long
time associated with Gen. Harris in mining
operations. He leaves brother, and, We
believe, family, to mourn his untimely loss.
Deceased was a native of Ireland.

The whole. number of votes cast in
Oroville on yesterday, was seventeen
hundred and three. When the polls
closed it was estimated that there
ere one hundred persons in the crowd
around the polls, who had not voted.
1t was impossible for one board to
receive the votes between the hours
prescribed by law. This is more
than double the number cast at the
election of a Justice for OphirlTown,
ship, five months since. Had there
been two or more precincts, the vote
of Oroville would have reached two
Thousand, as many went to the neigh
boring preeints, Knowing thas it wo'd
be impossible for all to vote in town.
Oroville daily Butte record., 1856-11-05


Up to the hour of closing the polls,
everything passed off quietly. Not
even respectable fsticuit' occurred
during the day. Sheriff Freer's eff
cient police of twenty-five active dep
uties, were important conseryators Of
the peace. The unfortunate affray,
which resulted in the death of poor
Sullivan, was a solemn caution to
every one present to be moderate,
temperate and prudent.

looking out upon cwidc cxpansc of the riv.
or. In the far distance was seen, lazily
moving with the current, boat, upon the
deck of which was dimly discernible two OIL
three men and a number of women and chill.
dren, evidently a family of cmigrants. While
he was mechanically gazing, he observed a
rude fellow, just in front of him on the
shore, endeavoring, by series of ridiculous
and indecent antics, to attract the attention
of the persons on the boat. The effort was
quite successful, as one of the men shook
his first threatcningly, as an evidence of dis
appreciation. The landsman continued his
performances until he showed desire to in
suit the party in the boat When this was
clearly perceived and comprehended, "the
man at the sweep seized his rife; but the
distance from its proposed victim seemed to
render it harmless, and the offensive conduct
was persisted in. A light cloud of smoke
and dull sound followed, when the planter,
to his astonishment, saw the reckless lands
man press his hand to his side, stagger a
pace Or two, and fall hcavilyupon the ground.
fastening to his assistance, he arrived only
in time to hear the last sigh of dying man.
The fatal rifle had done its work. The fiat,
meanwhile, disappeared behind projecting
point, and probably its occupants ever re-
mained ignorant of the extent of the terri
BILE revenge taken upon the thoughtless
wretch ashore.
