Butte record. (Bidwell, Butte County, Cal.) 1853-1858, 1857-05-30

To the Editor of the Butte Record.
The people of Oroville will remember that
at a convention held in this place. on the
sd inst a resolution was passed condemn
ing in strong language, the action of the
Marysville convention of the 4th of May.
That resolution was in the following words :
Resofred, That this convention views with
adherence and Indignation, the attempt Of
the Marysville convention to speculate upon
the wants and misfortunes of the migrants,
by recommending route for a wagon road
which is incapable of being made practica-
Bile, and which is selected only because 1t
COMFORTS best with personal speculations.
The editor of the Marysvilie Herald in
commenting upon this resolution gets very
angry, and in losing his temper, replies to
the charge so distinctly made, by misrep-
resentation as absurd as it is contemplate
He does not meet the fact, by an array Of
counter facts, if any such exist, but like a
petulant schoolboy, endeavors to destroy is
force, by accusing the committee, of false
hood and ingratitude. Here is his lineuage
The false and mean insinuations con
tanned in the above, come with very bad
grace from a town which owes its present
position, if not its very existence to the CAPT
talsts Of Marysville. But for the energetic
business men of this place, who have ex-
pended their labor and money on the Oro-
vile ditch, that town would have been Of
comparatively little Importance "
In another place in the same article he
calls the resolution san uagentlemanls
fling at .Marysrie." Now if Mr. Lull will
take the pains to read over the preamble
and resolutions, he will do our committee
the justice to admit that there is not one
word, in the whole proceedings, which car
be construed into an attack upon the city Of
Marysvlle. The resolution condemns the
action Of the convention Uhich assembled
at .MarysciHe, not Marysrille herself; and
| if we have been rightly informed, that con.
venton contained q representation from
several other counties besides Yuba.
The pitiful boast that Oroville owes all that
she is, or can ever hope to be, to Marysvillc

in the highest degree. SO far as the bitches
about 0roville are concerned, we acknowl-
edge that they have been of some service tC
the town, but that service has been more
than compensated to the Marysville specu-
lators, by paying them better interest on
their capital than they could get at home
Aside from this it may be proper to remark
that Oroville does not depend on bitches fol
support She is more eligibly situated for
trade than any other interior town in the
State. and must ere long leave even .Nye'.
Ranch in the distance She sets up no ri
valry with Marysville, for when the little
Yuba is dried up, and the great Haun House
is sold for taxes, when the &c grinders shall
cease because they are few, and the monrn
ers 90 about the Streets then will Orovill(
still sit sentinel at the head Of navigation
on the Feather, and extend her suburbs tC
the base of Table mountain. She will ever
afford an asylum to the scattered tribes q

editor of the Heraii himself
But the selection of a good Immigran
Wagon Road, does by no means resolve it
self into quarrel between Orovile and he,
Tributary at the mouth of the Yuba. 0ui
citizens have a much higher end in view
than the mere question of selfinterest. w
ara oil owara that tho internsts of Orovilli
would be best promoted by opening up thu
Plumas trade ria Bidwell to the American
Valley. But that object is distinct ont
from the Immigrant Road. The one grea
question at stake with US, is, which is thu
best route? We have derived our most re-
liable Information on that subject from two
citizens of Marysvile, Messrs Gamble ant
King. and until their report shall be super
ccded by more authentic data, we shall still
insist on the route advocated at our conven-
ton on the 23d instant,
That we have done the Marysvillans no in
justice in attributing their action to inter-
ested motives we are perfectly willing to
leave to Mr. LuH himself. From an edito-
rial in the Herald of Thursday, we make
the following extract:
son the Humbug and Fences Ranch
route, although the road can be easily con-
structed, the population is exceedingly
sparse, there being in a distance of forty
miles but two or three houses. When thi.
section of country shall have been sufficient
ly settled, there is no doubt road will be
built, but at present the most feasible ana
profitable one is that by the way Of Bid.
/ WELL
Still looking out for number one, Mr.
Lull 1t is the profit YOU are after, not thu
good of the emigrant but enough to. day
