The Popular Vote.

1t is matter Of astonishment how men,
favorable to the election of Fillmore, can. in
the face of facts and figures which rise up
before them like the ghost Of the murdered
Banco, assert that Fillmorc's chances Of an
election are equal to those of Mr. buchanan,
or Fremont, either in the House or before
the people.
We have already shown that Mr.. Fillmore
has NJ possible show before the present
House of Representatives, and we defy his
warmest friends and most ardent admirers,
by any possible torturing Of figures, to CON
troyert the facts as thus presented. Ifthen
he has no -how tefore the present House Of
Representatives, his only chance Of success
must be before the people
His friends owe it to themselves, and to
the national position they profess to occupy,
to scan the field with care, and calculate
the chances Of his success, before pressing
his claims to extremes. 1t adhereing to Mr..
Fillmore, will only encrcase Mr.. Fremonts
chances of success, without beneiting Mr.
Fillmore, the frien Is Of the latter gentleman
owe it to themselves, and to their nominee,
to withdraw him from the canvass y sur
vey of the battle felt by popular vote, can
not fail to show the friends Of Mr. Fillmore,
that he has no reasonable show Of success.
The only states given to Fillmore by pop
ular vote, are thrce-NIaryl land, Kentucky
and Louisiana, making n sum total Of 20
electoral votes.
Among the doubtful. are classed the state
of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Indiana and Missouri. The balance, accor.
ding to Republican figuring, are divided be.
tween Buchanan and Fremont, giving the
latter l2J, and the former s. electoral votes.
This is the c0mplacent figuring Of the n Y.
Tribune, Black Republican organ. This
figuring gives Fremont, l29, and gives such
Democratic states as Michigan. Illinois and
California, and places Pennsylvania, Indi-
ana and Missouri, in the doubtful list.
Now in order to place old Buck in prop
or position before the people, we shall take
the liberty to slightly vary this figuring and
present it in the following shape.
Every intelligent person, We believe, will
agree that the following is II fair and rea-
sonable estimate:
In Pennsylvania, there are but two pa
pers with a circulation Of 100, supporting
Fillmore. The contest there, is between
Buchanan and Fremont, and the former will
carry the state by an overwhelming major
ity:

Mining News.

From almost every mining district in this
neighborhood, We hear the most cheering
accounts, which i of far greater Importance
to the people Of this State than politics. or
any other question on which our citizens
are continually bored and bamboozled by
travelling political stumpers.
The state of affairs in the mines IS the
question about now.
We presume it is fact not very generally
known abroad, that We have in our inlmedi-
ate vicinity, lying just across the Tver, the
richest, and by far the most extensive and
most lasting, territory that has yet been
developed in California We refer to the
majestic and picturesque Table Mountain.
In its rccesscs have already been discovered
gold, silver, coal and many other valuable
minerals - slate arble, and beautiful build
ing stone are also found here in the greatest
abundance In order to bring the more
bulky Of these products into market to al
vantage, we must have r0ilroOd facilities
We must and will have railroads. OF all
the points in California, there are none more
favorabe-none that, stands more in need
Of this means Of transportation, than this
very town Of Oroville. There is no town in
the State to which miners are locking in
such great numbers. There is probably 40
town in California TINT is increasing III i'm
portance, in every branch otbusiuess, as ra-
pidly as this There is. in all probability,
no town outside of Sacramento City, or above
that city, that can compare in size with Oro-
Vile two years hence. When we have
bulta wire suspension bridge across Feather
rivcr--as IA matter of course, this will be the
thoroughfare for Shasta ard Oregon travel
and trade. Our Telegraph will be built
within three months in all probability.
Then follows the building Of n railroad.
We have commenced the march Of improve
ments, We must not-cannot halt.

INCREASE OF CIRCULATION Success in
any undertaking is always gratifying to the
one who launches out in an enterprise that
he deems honorable sud Legitimate. Since
we started the BUTTE RECORD in Oroyile,
as a Daily Democratic Journal, it has been
slowly but steadily increasing in its patron
age as an advertising medium, and within
the last two weeks the number Of names
which has been added to our subscription
list has not only made Us feel gratfcd but
has surprised us and convinccs US that in
our feeble endcayors to furnish a Daily

We have here placed New York amongst

mocracy and the division Of the balance Of
the vote between Fremont and Fillmore,

have left it out Of our ranks for Fillmore
and Fremont to fight about, but we doubt

IT is the oniy sheet in the State that has

that the Gazette is the only paper printed
