The following resolution was unanimously
adopted
ResolBed, That the Committee recommend TO the
County Central Committees the establishment Of no

tons other than an adherence TO the principles Of
popular sovereignty, absolute non-interveution by
Congress and opposition to the Administration in its
extravagant expenditures of the public moneys.
On motion, voted the basis Of apportionment

two hundred votes castat the last annual election,

That CoMpRoMIsE-The ans Her of the
Butte Record to the slanderers of Douglas is
so pertinent and so peculiarly emphatic in
expression, that we give it below. The
Record never minces matters in the least:
This story about compromise between
Mr.. Douglas and the Lecomptonites, is sim
ply a lie. 1t is a fiction founded upon moth.
ing bat its own baseness Its obiect-for it
is by no means intended for harmless lie
is to induce Mr. Douglas friends to do just
what they tell you Mr.. Douglas himself has
done. This lieis needed now. The primary
elections are being held and should be made
to exhibit as much strength as possible.
Last year, these liars lied into the apparent
occupancy of middle ground. They dared
not give Lecompton as much as a cold, pass
ing glance of recognition; but making diff
ference where no difference existed, between
Mr.. Douglas and Mr. Broderick, they affected
to hold position of neutrality between Mr.,
Douglas and the President-but leaning, II
either way, towards the former. Having
sworn their case through. they came out
with more boldness after the election of last
fall For some months, to satisfy the Presi
dent of their continued servility to his doe
trincs and policy, they heaped abuse upon
Douglas and now that they have another
battle to make they have again claimed
friendship and affinity with the Giant they
so much hate and fear. What are the facts
concerning Mr.. Douglas and the Lecomp-
tontes2
The last steamer brought US the news of a
Leeomptonite meeting in lllinis That.m
ing was held in obedience to the wish of the
Administration. Fulfilling the dictates Of
the same power, they passed resolutions, de-
claring Douglas to be bolter and not Il
Democrat, and unworthy recognition by
the national convention to be held at Charles
ton. The same meeting asserted the dogma
that the Democratic party was none other
than that which supports Mr.. Buchanan in
all his heresies

DIoGENEs IN HIS TUB.-A modern DjogeaeS
an his Tub may be seen at the corner of one
of our streets His tub is box Just large
enough to hold him, with a little elbow room,
and he sits therein, pegging away at old
shoes and uttering his wise saws at intervals
We don't mean to say that Dogenes was a
shoemaker, but this cobblers sitting day after
day on the sidewalk in his box, reminds us
of the old Grecian Cynic in his ever memo
rable tub. The cobbler's box is scarcely
more pretentious than the Cynics tub, and
his own character seemingly no less indepen-
dent Of the opinions of the world lie looks
exactly as though he might say to some mod
ern Alexander, asking him what favor he
could bestow on him, "stand from between
me and the SUM-" unless indeed the Alexan-
der wanted his boots mended for unlike Di.

At Yankee Jim's, on Wednesday or Thurs
day of last week, bank blast was let of
which shook the town equal to an earth
quake. Three hundred and seventy-five
pounds of powder was put into drift, run
for the purpose, sixty feet into the hill, and
well tamped in. The explosion of this i'm
mense quantity ofpowder so completely con
hned at such depth in the earth, had the
effect Of cracking the ground for a great way
up the hill side and of loosening the gravel
so as to render the washing by the hydraulic
process quite easy; also, saving much of the

SUICIDE AT French CAMp.-On Thursday,
May 27th, Mrs. Malyina A. Childs, wife of J.

by taking poison. The Stockton Argus says
She left her home at an early hour yester-
day morning to visit the house of Il sister
distant about half mile,) where she OBJ
tanned half bottle Of strychnine, and sue
ceeded in swallowing the greater portion oil
it before being detected. The subject Of re-
ligion had apparently seized upon her mind
until she had settled an imaginary degree OF
guilt upon her own head that was constant
~ increasing in weight and seemed to have
no other mode of release than that of death
Words to this effect she almost daily repeat
ed to her husband, accompanied by n wish
that she might die and receive her DOOM
Suspicion of attempt to commit suicide at
sundry times, by various forms, had caused
great watchfllness and care on the part OF
her husband and friends; but Selling upon an
accidently discovered remnant of poison, she
seemed to eXult that she had at last foiled
the efforts of her friends to prevent her tax
ing her departure from earth before a still
greater weight if sin was allowed to accumu-
late upon her head Mrs. Childs was the
eldest of five sisters, two of whom immi-
grated to this State in an early day. and
soon gathered around them a wide circle of
friends and acquaintanees The deceased
leaves four children, the youngest of whom
is bright-eyed boy of eight months, to
whom, happily, the circumstances of his pres
ent motheress condition must remain to be
told him in later years as a sorrowful tale of
a mothers misfortune.
