Butte record. (Bidwell, Butte County, Cal.) 1853-1858, 1857-02-21

tits now acknowledged by those at the
head of the movement, that the Republicans
and Know Nothings will endeavor to unite
their forces in California in opposition to the
Democratic party. The vicious Ingenuity
and morbid acuteness of the K n. party
has led them to perceive resemblances and
analogies between these two detestable par
ties, and the great indigenous party is now
leaning toward cutaneous sectionalism like
a sick kitten toward hot brick" The
terms of the amalgamation are said to be as
follows: The Republicans are to work for
the X. N s until 1860, when the X. Ms are
to unite in the election of Republican
President. Thus, these parties so lately in
state of conflict, are now in process of
amalgamation The bombastic meanness of
the Indigenous party, is to blend with the
ingenious absuriity of Republicanism.
Although we can see nothing like similar
ity in these amalgamating organizations,
we can readily perceive that the object and
experience of both are quite the same, and
hence we are not surprised to see them en-
gagged in courtship. and should the nuptial
rites be celebrated, and the nut brown
beauty of Republicanism be given over to
the incestuous sheets and lascivious embrace
of Ki-Yi ism, we doubt very much whether
they will be permitted to spend their honey
moon at the expense of the good people OF
the State of California.
This mixture assembled in Sacramento
next summer, will produce something in the
shape of platform which the world never
saw before, and which it will never desire
to see again-something, by the side of
which, the worst nonsense of all other ma
tions will appear to advantage-something
which if the Democracy attempt to carica-
ture, they will find themselves against their
will, forced to fatter. The object of both
OF these organizations was to obtain political
power, and the experience of both are SINH
lar, for they have been cleaned out by the
Democracy separately. distinctly and stimuli
ueously, and had they been forty parties,
they would still have been beaten. Why
should not parties with common object
and common experience, unite their desti-
mics Why should not the ki-1ies wrap
their dishonorod flag around the ebony form
of their partner in Distress and both die
together like men ? The announcement will
read somehow thus: married, in Sacra-
mento, August -. by the Rev. Party Policy
Mr. Amercurse XIII to Miss Susannah
Black RepublcaniSm, all of California. N.

AS the mass of amalgnm rolls from the
Church, the choir will sing to the tune of
"Old Sam Tucker" the beautiful refrain
commencing Somebody S in bed with Di-
nah," &c.
Here is fine opening for the restless pol
iticans Of California to render themselves
still more conspicuous, by counting absurd
ity and afcctation. Their Platform Will be
promulgated by men whose love Of Office is
the appetite of beasts, embellished by fierce,
hard and Incompatible impudence, and
whose political friendship is the limited con-
federacy of demagogues. and rendered to
the public with love as tender and delicate
as that which an Alderman feels for tur-
tie"
But we viii not dwell on subject so re-
plete with political madness, folly and wick
edness as is the coalition movement of the
opposing factions, as we have no desire to
aggravate the political squabbles Of the day.
History informs us that-''At Talavera, the
French and English troops paused in their
conflict, to drink of a stream which passed
between them" In like manner, we would
rather invite our political adversaries to
join with the Democracy, ia drinking at that
fountain political principles, which should
be the common refreshment of the Ameri-
can people, than disturb and pollute it with
the havoc OF unseasonab lie hostilities.
