Oroville daily Butte record., 1858-01-20

The Marysville Erpress, Of yesterday,
contains an article in favor of Congress &C.
cepting the Leeompton constitution for Kan
zas, and the base of its whole argument is
the assertion that the free State men re-
fused to vote for delegates to the constitu-
tional convention, and are, therefore entitled
TO no consider alton, but deserve the uni
versal contempt of the whole country. 1t
dress to show that they were fairly warned
OF the consequences of their refusal to par
ticipate in the election We agree with the
Erpre>s that those whe had an opportunity
to vote and did not have no right to COM
plain Bat'if Gov Walker is authority to
show that they were fully warned of the
consequences of their iuaction, why is he not
authority to show the reason why they did
not vote He distinctly states in his letter
of resignation, that it was through no fault
of their own that they did not vote, but
through the neglect of the Territorial off
GERS, who differed from them in political
opinions And, further, that where they
did send delegates to the Lecompton conven-
ton, they were rejected by that convention.
If Walker is good authority i'll one case, why
not in both
We care not whether the Free State men
or the pro slavery men control Kanzas. Let
the doctrine If popular sovereignty govern
the decision, whatever it may he. 1t will
not do to pronounce popular sovereignty
a failure, and abandon its teachings
for the strong arm of the military power Of
the Federal Government, which would be
necessary to enable the minority to govern
Kanzas However strongly the rawlings Of
fanatical agtatOrs and border ruffians may
provoke such a sentiment, it is quite anti
democratic to indulge in it.
Oroville daily Butte record., 1858-01-20

The Administration and Nicaragua.
The firm and vigorous measures adopted
by the administration in relation to Nicara-
guam affairs, will have a good effect upon the
interests Of California, by facilitating the
opening of the Nicaragua route, and giving
the people of the Pacific coast the advantage
OF rival routes of communication with the
eastern States. The prompt measures for
carrying out the provisions of the treaty
with that unfortunate government, will, un-
doubtealy secure that route against inter
ruptiOn for the future, and we hope to see
that line again in operation.
The punishment of the delinqences of the
Collector of New Orleans, the United States
Marshal for the southern district of Ala
bama. and Commander Chatard, of the Sa-
ratogs, together with the instructions to the
Collectors of New Orleans and Mobile, and
to the District Attorneys of Louisiana and
Alabama, to use all the means in their power
according to law, to prevent the departure
OF any hostile expedition against Central
Amerhsa, cannot fail to command the respect
and confidence of the people The pro>ecu-
ton of the steamer Fashion, on her return
from landing Walker in Nicaragua and the
order to the frigate jamestown to proceed
to Greytown, to reinforce the squadron
there, shows that the administration is ear
nest and fully determined in its course, and
the attempt to invade that country will
hardly be repeated by Walker or any of his
associate fillibusters
The treaty concluded with Nicaragua
rendered such a course on the part of the
government necessary The sailing of the
expedition was evidence of the connivance Of
officials. and hence their dismissal. The
San Francisco herald remarks in this con-
nection that it is a subject for congratula-
ton that the mandates of the Executive are
no LONGER to be regarded as worth no more
than the paper upon which they are written
From henceforth, the orders of the Govera-
ment, will he obeyed as orders, and none Of
the Federal ofscers will wink at their eva
sion.

OF Agitation.

"This game of agitation has been played
too long, and it is high time that the broad
foot of Democracy should be placed upon
'it."--Stafe Journal.
Yes, but let it be Democratic foot and
mot one of Military power and tyranny; not
one by which the minority shall govern the
majority. Stick to the Democratic platform
that we made last July. Stand square and
fair upon it, and you can laugh "agitation"
to scorn Don't you remember that you used
to call it the longest, the strongest and the
broadest and sest that was ever made 2" 1t
cannot be agitated while you stand upon. it /;
get off and knock the underpiHning from
under it, and there can beno proper concep-
ton of the degree of agitation you will ere.
