Oroville daily Butte record., 1856-07-14

OuRsELVEs.-ln presenting the public ol
Butte County with daily newspaper, We
deem it appropriate TO accompany its inau-
guration with few brief remarks, not so
much for the purpose Of showing what our
course will be, because We have had the
conduct of the Record" for the past three
years. but to show the necessity for daily
paper in our county. Butte, at the ap
preaching election, will take rank among.t
the first counties of the State In mineral

to the best market in the world. These
advantages have called together popula-

Of the State We have fancied that this state
concentrated at the capitol of the county
required daily paper. That it would be
OF benefit to the county, and IN evideuce of
business prosperity that would please all
who feel an interest in the onward progress
>sfthe county. The Telegraph, with flAshe,
efVghtning, will soon be extended to this
placS, and We shall be enabled to furnish
our reNders with the latest news They Will

news of the day
Our paper is slhall-but will be found suf

other and older dailes of the State We
have no fears of its failure There is too
great rush of business and too many brick
buildings in progress.
OF conrse, the LiftIe Butte will be demo.
cratic in politics. but VIC shall endcavor to
make it is local as possible.

Of centuries have established-and should
only meet with the qualified disapproba

We do not believe there is a man in OrsviIle
