Butte record., 1856-10-11
Dcinocrntic Meeting.

The Democracy had little impromptu
gathering OF Saturday night, to listen to a
Democratic speech from Judge Sherwood,
Of San Francisco, formerly of this County.
The Judge spoke for about one hour in an
able, argumentatiye and enthusiastic man.
ner. He pitched into the Sectional Black
Republican party, and literally fayed them
alive in thirty minutes, by the watch He
showed the principles embraced in the Kan
zas Nebraska bill, to be the fundamental
principles Of republican government In
demanding its repeal, the Black Republican
party, denied the right of one portion of the
Union to have voice in the government of
the territories, which were the common
property Of the whole Union, and assumed
the right to govern the country according
30 their own peculiar notions.
The Judge brought down the House when
he referred to the Know Nothing party,
whose doctrines. althogh but recently nro-
mulgated, have become so odious and often
sive as to compel them to enter the present
canvass under the less obnoxious name Of
Fillmore men" They dare not appear
before the people of California, and ask for
their suffrages, under their intolerant and
proscriptiye doctrincs-their anti Catholic
test-their illheral naturalization laws
and butchery Of foreign born citizens By
changing their name to Fillmore men,"
they hope to be enabled to secure the vote of
the foreign born citizen, and thus induce
him to vote against his own interests and
himself They will not succeed in this de-
ception. They have nominated none but
members Of the KnowNothing order, from
the Presidency down to Constable, and hope
to fasten their odious doctrines upon the
country by changing their name to ''Fill-
more men"
In referring to the railroad question, upon
which the Republicans claim to be par ex-
celIence, the party, he demonstrated their
inability to build the ro ad, in the event of
their success. When they talked about the
Democracy being opposed to Pacific Rail
road, they were making statements which
the facts and the Records will not warrant.
There never was railroad bill introduced
into either branch of Congress which did
not originate Wi h the Democracy. He
called upon the opposition Of every and aay
hue to name aman outside of the democratic
party who had introduced such measure
1t could not be done. The records showed
that every measure CT the kind had origina-
ted with the Democracy.
The meeting was not a very large one, as
the announcement was not made until about
five o'clock, P. NJ The other parties had
held meetings here lately, and had the de-
mocracy congregated their forces in any
considerabl numbers, it would have dis
hearteued and overwhelmed the opposition.
Fillmore is row held in the canvass but by
- single thread, and one demonstration such
as the Democracy Of 0royille are capable Of
making might drive him from the canvass.
W. Sunday in Oroville, is indeed busy
day. San Francisco or Sacramento in lo49
was no comparison to oroville now. Then,
every town in the State WAS the scene of
similar excitement and wild and extrava-
CANT amusement. Time has sobered down
other towns, and regulated their business
affairs They have become too old fogyish
for thousands of California adventurers.
There is no town in the State, that ap-
proximates to the scenes CT 40, but Oro-
vile, every portion of the State being
here represented. The spirit Of 40 con-
centrated has descended upon 0roville.
Here is the canvass tent. the rag and shinge
shanty, and the fire proof brick. There
were yesterday three places in town where
Divine Service was held, one horse race, two
theatres playing to full houses, and the
third theatrical company waiting to get 8
room, numberless belligerent individuals
filled with bad whiskey, and two Courts Of
Justice levying fines and filing the three
jais of Butte County. All these we notice
from our desk in the office. Did we mingle
with the three thousand people on Mont
and Myers street, and attempt
description of = Sunday in Orovilie, we
should haveno room for political items, and
now. when the baleiul influence Of sectional
isms is rife throughout the land, the patriot
can no more overlook the glorious canse of
Democracy and the Union, than the Chris
tan can forget his religion and his God.

Informed by Mr.. J. Gluckauf, that deputy
Sheriff Hobart and father, were sent for last

assisted by another man, both of whom shot

tribunal -
n,sc,,sr,1c.-We have of late, been call

,,;,a roo common In our public streets -

I,afers, who get beastly drunk, and lay with
their persons exposed to the gaze of passers

ahatinc this intoierable nuisance? They
