County Convention reached Us las, everfrfp,
and created quite sensation AZ our county
seat 1t certainly puts to shHne our recent
sction. and does credit. and speak, volumes
for the standard bearers OF old Butte We
are now satis6ed that principles, and not
men are to govern in your county, and that
from this on, her sister counties may look to
her for an example worthy Of being followed
by them. I WAS amused to see the miners
at this place as they came from their iaboss
last evening rejoice at the trump r. OF prin.
ciple in Butte. IL really seemsd'to do their
souls good 10 know that although Custom
House influence lad controlled the popular
breeze iu sohe Of the counties OF our
Ptats. still there were men enough in the
Democratic ranks In most Of them. who we're
governed by principle, to hold the balance
Of power. These miners, as n general thi~ q

drawn. md will know in future, how much
confidence to place in men who make politics
a profession, mil whose record of the past
will not bear scrutiny or investigation. By
the way. while speaking OF the records. to
call the attention of our Senatorial Ieepa.-
ton TO the Assembly Record for the past
four years. before they make choice Of
candidate to head the democratic ticket, and
represent the joint counties OF Butte and
Plumas in the Senate for two years 10 come.
i understand two or three Hon gentlemen
from this county will be before the joint Con
vention for the position. and hope, In
spirit Of candor. for the sake Of our often
misrepresented county, that the delegation
from Butte will this time protect us. Look
at the journals gentlemen, and unless their
course bears an air Of consistency, drop them
for Christ's sake, and give US n good man

1t will be an easy matter for the Convention
to make judicious selection. The journals
are open before them, and the people will
hold the delegation strictly account table

them. ard we here repeat, that in the case
the Senatorial delegation from this county.
should not make judicious selection, I for
one. would not consider the C unity of Butte
bound by it in the least. Our people being
in the minority cannot expect the cordial
support of her sister county, unless they
present man in every way competent I'd
fill the position. or one who has here' ofore
given satisfaction to both counties. Either
Plumas or Butte have good aud capable men.
Why should they not be brought forward

Strike out the labors Of 8. A. Ballcu. and the
picture is a dark one; little was done. Of
