The Daily Butte Record.

A paper published in Orovile, which by
itemizing all the dog fights, and petty broils Of
the neighborhood. and rehashing the matter con-
tained in exchanges, manages to make lis appear
ance six times week, has for that reason alone,
as it appears to us. undertaken to lecture the de
mocracy of this county upon what the editor sup
poses to be their political sins. In the issue of
the 9th ult.. we find an article upon the subject,
from which we extract the following:
''VoIcE of the PEoPLE.--Under this head sew
eral OF the opposition press are publishing what
purports to be set of resolutions purportng to
come from some place in Placer county, censur-
ing the Hon. James O 'Ncll, member Of Assembly
from that county. for his course upon the Senate
rial election. Mr.. O'Neil voted in the Demo
cratic caucus for Messrs. Broderck and Latham,
and in Joint convention for the nominees of the
democratic party. The resolutions do not de-
! nounce Messrs. Broderick and Latham enemies
OF the democracy. but censure Mr. O'Nell for
miSrepresenting thcm-''the democracy of Town
ship No. ~ There names attached to the
resolutions, and we will wager bottle Of ginger
pop that those who originated the resolutions, if
not the open enemies Of our party. are men who
bolt the ticket when the choice of the party does
not agree with theirs"
We do not know what the editor means by Top
position presses" but we do know that we pub
lished the resolutions with the names of the Off
GERS Of the meeting and the committee who re-
ported the preamble and resolutions. and COM
mented upon them. commencing the course of the
people in thus rebuking treacherous apostate.
O'Nell was from Township No. I, and his
neighbors quite as able to Judge of his re-
sponsblity to them as the Record man.
The proprety of electing D. c. Broderick to
the Senate of the U. States, has nothing to do
with the question. The people were lied to and
basey deceived, and had a right to denounce the
man who did it.
The gentlemen who participated in the action
Of that meeting are mostly old residents of this
county, as sound in their democracy and truer to
the interests of the country, than the learned gen
tleman who SCOTS at the idea of the democracy
Of Township No. l." speaking their just ind gna-
ton.
1t is trite old saying that people who mind
their own business prosper best, but nevertheless
true, and we commend it to the attention of the
editor. If he manages matters correctly at home
he will have his hands FULL we don't want his ad-
vice down this way Our people have fancy for
regulating their own conduct and do not brook
dictation from any source They labor under the
those matters which alone concern them. as any
resident of Butte county be; some of them have
the temerity to assert that they even better
informed and until the Daily Butte Record is
able to count a half dozen subscribers among u.s.
it will not make much headway in eradcating
these opinions of the democracy of Placer county
BuRNING OF Iowa IIILL--It was with
sorrow we heard of the burning of our sister
town, Iowa Hill, on Monday morning last.
Although this unfortunate contlagation re-
tarls for time the prospects of our neigh
bors, it does not blot them out entirely
Already the sound of the axe and the ham
mer gives assurance that in few months
the Hill will have regained its fair proper
tions, and be more permanent than ever.
The streets will be widened, aud the town
otherwise improved. The energy Of the citi-
zens of mining towns of California is unri-
vailed.
