he:, formed after considerable investigation
that the election of Mr.. buchanan was de.

ted by sectional men, who scruple not at the
means SO that they may obtain power. This
sentiment met with hearty response from

Loud calls were then made for that
staunch, ''Old Kentucky" wbig, Gen z. II.
Harris. Mr.. Harris made his appearance
on the stand, and was received by the most
enthusiastic demonstrations of delight by the
meeting. Gen. Harris, stated that he found
himseftor the first time in ais life befo re n
democratic audience, and was unaccustomed
to the regular rules Of Democratic stump
oratory. lie had always been whg, and
had delighted to do battle even against the
hosts of democracy, VIII ell the whig party
was led on by such men as Clay and Webster
linen who were national in their character
and devotion to the constitution. Those
men had now passed away, and the whig
party dsjonted AMI broken, was pursuing
strange idols lie believed that the nomi
nation OF a candidate for the Presidency by
a party arrayed against portion of the
Union, had produc ed crisis in the onward
march o. the Republic, that would be depre
Gated by every Union loving man. The op-
position to the nominations Of Buchanan and
Breckenridge was composed of factions, and
would not meet the support of national men.
Buchanan was u national man and would |
meet the crisis upon national grounds, and
allay sectional feeling by concilatory and
constitutional measures. lie avowed his
intention of sustaining the nominees of the !
democratic party. His remarks were re-
ceived with unbounded appreciation, and he
retired from the stand amidst the greatest
applause.

short but appropriate speech, alluding to |
the sound national platform adopted by the |
Cincinnati Convention. and the unanimity !
with which the nominations were made. lie |
was followed by A. NJ. Zabriskie, Esq in Il
speech repletc with sounI national demo !
cratic doctrine.
At this juncturc. it was announced that |
Hon. C. A. Bryan of Marysville, was in the
city and would address the meeting. Mr.. |
Bryan responded to the call Of the meeting, |
and addressed the meeting for three quar-
ters Of an hour in an eloquent and mastery
style. There was some little disposition to
interrupt the meeting, but it appeared to he
more in spirit OF fun than from any desire
to disturb the harmony of the proceedings
The ready address Of the speaker soon had
the crowd in the best possible humor, and
kept them so until the meeting adjourned.
This is the first demonstration in Orovile
for the campaign of 1856, and the ipdica-
tions foreshadow the fact that it will be the
most one sided battle ever witnessed. To
the democracy of the State we send greet
ing the welcome assurance that three fourths
of the votes of Butte county will be given
for those truly national men Buchanan and
Breckenridge, We believe this is Just as
certain to be the result as that our hills md
vallies are filled with numerous population
OF honest, Industrious, and constitutional
and Union n-loving miners.
