The Stumbling Road BIZ.

The news that Judge Lewis's road bill had
passed the House, created considerable stir
in town on yesterday, and petitions were
Immediately put in circulation praying the
interpositon of the Governors veto These
petitions, or such of them as were collected
in last night, will be forwarded to the Gov
ernor to- dGy, by a messenger, who will pro-
coed with all possible despatch. in ordsy that
they may be received before the bill is ap-
proved. This despatch is rendered necessary.
owing to the fact that the Legislature will
adjourn in a few days. Did time permit,
nine tenths of the people of Butte county
would petition against its approval in the
shape in which it passed the Senate. We
have seen several of the petitions circulated
here in town, each measuring yard or
more in length, and filled with names.
We notice by the Senate proceedings of
Saturday, that the blu was amended previ.
GUS to its passage in the House, and that the
amendments were concurred in by the Sem
ate. The proceedings do not show the nature
of the amendments. If amended so as to
submit The question to the people, we have
no fears of its doing any damage. The veto
of the Governor, however, would prevent
the State authorities from declaring their
preference for route for the immigrant
road, which has nothing bat private and
local interests to serve.

lowing proceedings of citizens meeting
held at Thompson's Flat, April Goth, 1857,
place in your paper'
WHEREAS, 1t becomes necessary for the
people of this State to protect themselves
against oppression, tyranny, corruption and
perjury, and especially does it become the
miners and settlers on the Fernandez grant
at this time to watch and guard their rights,
and
WHEREAS, We must rely solely in union
and organization for the protection of those
rights-therefore
Resolred That we hereby pledge our mu-
tual aid and support to each other, and that

all, and that we will protect each other in
our rights at all hazards,
ResoiUed, That no man, nor set of men,
have any moral, equitable or legal right to
locate and segEegate from the public lands,
at the present time, the same not having
been heretofore located. Spanish grants, ex-
| cept such location be made subject to prior
locations, and prior rights
RecoiUed, That the course pursued by
many of the claimants of these Spanish
grants has direct tendency to paralyze and
destroy the growing prosperity If our young
and furnishing State, by destroying the
business and industry of her citizens, and
that every good citizen must depro cate and
oppose such course.
Resoired, That revolutions, protracted
and bloody, have heretofore taken place
which have been sanctioned by the common
consent of mankind in after ages, where the
cause of complaint have been much less than
cur. in the present instance
Resolred, That placing firm and I'M
wayering reliance in the justice of our
cause, and in the sympathy and support OF
our fellow citizens thrc ghout the State and
our parent States of the Union, we will meet
the approaching crisis like free men, and
trust the event to Him whose eye sees and
knows the hearts OF all men.
Resoiued, That we invite the settlers and
miners throughout the State to organize and
CO operate with us in the common defense
and protection of our rights
Re Oiued, That these Resolutions be
signed by the President and Secretary, and
published in the Butte Record and North
Californian
