Butte record. (Bidwell, Butte County, Cal.) 1853-1858, 1857-06-27
The District JudGeship.

We notice in the proceedings of the Plu-
mas county convention, that resolution
was carried. on motion of q Mr.. McNabb,
instructing their delegates to vote for j. E.
n. Lewis, fer District Judge. The j. E. N.
Lewis referred to, we suppose means our
present County Judge, person who was
elected by the democracy of this county
four years since, but who has recently dis
connected himself from the party by viola
ting its customs and usages-by lending the
influence Of his position to sustain the Black
Republican organization in this county
He has not only adopted the Republican pa
per of this county rs his organ, but he has
compelled democrats, contrary to their ex-
pressed wishes, to do their legal advertising
in his Republican organ-thus compelling
Democrats to sustain paper that has ever
opposed democratic principles and the DEM
ocratic party. He has compelled Demo
Gratis, by his INSCRIPTIONS exercise of arbi-
trary power, to sustain the only paper in the
State that denounced the truly national
democratic doctrines enunciated III Presi
dent Buchanan's inaugural message. The
Plumss convention adopted a resolution
pledging themselves to support the paper of
that county, so long as it shall advocate the
principles of the Democratic party, and we
must confess our surprise, that the same
convention should pass resolution, instinct
ing their delegates to sustain a political
traitor, who has used the patronage and in
fuence of position given him by the De-
mocracy, to break down and destroy the par
ty in this district and county. This traitor
to the Democracy may be the personal friend
of Mr.. McNabb. and had the instructing
resolution been adopted by majority of the
convention. it would have been the first in
stance of Democratic Convention advoca-
| ting the election of men who were publicly
opposing the principles of the party.
The Old .M0Rnfaineer, (recently pur-
chased by E F. McELwAINE, ESQ and is
now democratic paper) has the following
in relation to the passage of the resolution
IN question. The Editor is one of the dele
gates, and will not be wheedlcd by trickery
into support of men who are opposed to the
democratic party:
Conventions that calls upon us for remark, the design
of which was to give positive instructions to our del
egaon, relative TO the nomination for District Judge
! The resolution introduced and passed while q
majority of the delegates absent Our knowt
edge OF the true principles of Democracy, teach Vi
that trickery and chicanery not the weapons thu
/ our party either fight with need. We do not con
ceve that single delegate is bound by any such res
olution. but should their judgment for the true
and best interests Of the great national principles
the party ami the advancement of las true inieres
in
tons. although we acknowledge that every ones
opinion is entitled to decent respect, in all matter;
pertaining 10 the general interest,""
Here we have the naodus operandi adopt
ed by the hired claquers of this traitor tt
the Democracy-this pillar of strength tC
the Republican organization of Butte coun
ty-to fasten him upon the Democracy O
this district Do the Democracy of Pluma'
desire their delegates to forget the princi
pies of the party, and support man wht
has done all in his power, to break down thu
Democratic organization of this county, ant
to build up and sustain that of their oppo
nents The delegates from Plumas will no
be influenced by any such contemplate mi
nority trick, into betrayal of their con
stituents and the sacrifice Of Democratic
principles. Those principles are more impor
tant than the triumph of scheming, unprin
cipled and INSCRIPTIONS men, who seek bu
their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and would sac
rifce our noble old party to attain thei
selfish ends.

ocratic principles, we re-publish the order
