Butte record., 1856-11-15

valuable IN tne otaIe.
Truly, we have the most magnii-
cent prospects ahead, and if there is
any reliance to be placed in flattering
indications, Butte is destined to be-
come the champion in wealth and
population among her sister counties
in the mines, and is already in a po-
sition to acknowledge none of them
her superior. The "banner county"
of this glorious State shall be cod
Butte!"
The Sacramento papers, particu-
larly those of the opposition, are in
dulging in speculations concerning
the election of United States Sena-
tors. 1t is conceded by these disap-
pointed organs, that the Democracy
have a clear working majority in
joint ballot, and that two Democratic
Senators will be elected, early in the
session, unless the Democracy shall
be divided amongst themselves, and
fail to elect, as they did in the ses-
sion of '55. We apprehend there
will be no election-preventing diyis-
ions among the democratic Members
of the Legislature elect. The cleo
ton of Senators must be no longer
postponed. The coming-in Legisla-
ture has been elected with especial
reference to the choice of Senators,
and if they fail in their duty, woe
betide theml The only danger of
again falling to elect, may arise in
the event of Fremont's election, in
which case they may fail Of finding
Democrats who are willing to accept
office during his administration.
Heretofore the San Francisco
delegation has been Democratic. 1t
is now republican delegation, with
the exception of two Senators elected
last year. The democratic majority
comes principally from the northern
portion Of the State, and the nortL
would have settled the Senatorial
question long since, if it had been
able as it now is. After the expe-
rience the Democracy have had upon
this question, and the defeat they
have sustained by their division over
it, they will not delight the Know
Nothing Republican opposition by
adjourning without effecting the
election Of two Senators.
The Sacramento Union and Amer
lean both state thata majority Of the
members elect, are favorable to the
election of David C. Broderick, and
that some northern man would be
chosen his colleague. The Union
suggests the names of Judge Field,
J. W. McCorkle, and ]. w. Denver.
We are confident that Judge Field
is not candidate for that position,
although he might not decline it if
1t was forced upon him. Mr.. Denver
should not be named by the Democ-
racy in connection with the office Of
United States Senator, until he has
explained his opposition to them in
'55, and his connection with the X.
n. order, as charged against him at
the last State Convention. Should
the Legislature fail to unite upon
Messrs. Broderick and McCorkle.
we shall be content to see them elect
any two gentlemen who are equally
capable and sound national Demo
Gratis.
The want of Church is being Sc
riously felt by all classes of our citi-
zens. We have spoken of this mat
ter several times before, but seem
ingly with no avail. Our citizens
are too much impressed with their
search for money and pleasure, to
give heed to any promptings or sug-
gcs<ions upon this subject, important
as it Is. As an enlightened, Chris
tan community, or claiming to be
such, the voice of humanity demands
a temple that can be wholly conse-
Grated to Divine Worship. The oc
currences that bring disgrace upon
us as being characteristic of 'Sun-
