MooREyILLE, May 18th, 1861.

EDITOR BUTTE RECORD
A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held here to-day, for the purpose of forming
Union Club. The Hon. Jas. NJ. Shields was
called to the Chair, who made spirited ad-
dress and was loudly applauded. j. NJ. Gun
nard was appointed Secretary. A Committee
of five, viz: J. D. Watson, j. n Morris, C.
A. Clark, S. l.. Deano, and Geo. #. Shaw
were appointed, to draft resolutions expressive
of the sense of the meeting, who reported the
following:
WHEREAS, Rebellion to the constituted au-
thorities exists in some parts Of our country
and believing it to be the duty of good citizens
to upold and defend our national honor against
domestic as well as foreign foes, therefore,
ResOtred That we, the citizens of Moore
vile, do declare our unalterable attachment
and devotion to the Union, as formed by the
patriots of 1877, and, in the spirit of our thers
we are determined to support and sustain, the
Constitution, the laws, and the flag of our
country.
Resolued, That burying all partisan feeling,
we will aid and support the Administration in
all just efforts to maintain the integrity of the
Union.
Resolved, That we are ready to obey the
call of duty whenever it may be necessary, and
that, while we can prevent it, no hand shall
ever raise, upon the soil of California the EN-
blems Of treason or resistance to the constitu-
ted authorities
ResoiUed, That we form ourselves into
Union Club, for the purpose of sustaining the
national Government in all just and lawful eff
forts to maintain the Government of the Uni
ted States, the Federal Union and the laws of
the land
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions
be forwarded to the BUTTE RECORD, MarySuWe
Appeal, ard Maryu,lle Democrat, for publica-
tlon.
The sentiment of the people here is unani-
mously for the Union, and the -spangled
banner, and long may it wave
Yours, respectfully, etc,

structed by Washington Jefferson. Madison,

as, the blood of American soldiers has been
shed by fratricidal hand, while defending the
flag OF our country We, therefore, the citl-
zens of Oroville and vicinity, for the purpose
Of manfestDg our devotion to the institutions

A SHOOTING AND CUTTING AFFRAY-We
learn that a serious shooting affray occurred
at ranch on or near Butte Creek, in this
county, few days ago, the particulars of
which, as near as we can learn, are as follows
1t appears that the ownership of the ranch
where the affray occurred, is in dispute be-
tween Messrs. Spence Il Campbell, on one side,
and Messrs Anon Fargo & Stephen Haynes,
on the other. The former gentlemen were in
possession Of the ranch, and, during their alb
sence, Messrs. Fargo and Haynes went on to
the premises and took possession of their cabin,
etc. On the return Of Spence and Campbell,
they demanded possession of the premises, and,
on being refused, made an attack on Fargo
and Haynes, with knives and pistols. Mr.
Haynes was severely, though not dangerously,
wounded in the thigh, with pistol shot Mr.
Fargo received pistol shot in the back, and
was stabbed in the shoulder and arm. His
wounds are considered dangerous. We under
stand that pistols were fired by Fargo and
Haynes, but without effect The affair will
probably be investigated by the proper au-
thorities.

Platform of the Tehama Democracy.

We learn from the Red Bluff Beacon, that
the Breckenridge Central Committee of Teha-
ma county, on Monday last, repudiated the
CALL emanating from the State Central Com
mittee presided over by Cbas. Lindley, Esq,
for State Convention, to be held in Sacra-
mento on the l1th of June, and unanimously
Joined the Douglas Central Committee of
that county, which was then In session, upon
the following platform, which admits of no
double construction
WHEREAS, We have learned with sorrow
and regret that our glorious Union is now in
the midst of civil war, and that the emblem
of our nations libertv-the Stars and Stripes
is being trodden under foot by men whose OBJ
iects it is TO overturn the greatest and best
Government ever founded And, whereas, we
believe that no Just cause exists to warrant
such outrages, Therefore, the Democracy of
Tehama county, as represented IN central COM
mittee, do resolve as follows:
lst That we are for our country first, last,
and all the time, and that, to the extent of our
ability, without conditions as to who may be
its assailants and enemies, we will maintain
and defend it..
ID That we have, heretofore, lived happily
under the Stars and Stripes-the emblem of
our nationality-and that no other flag can
ever be unfured over us.
3d. That as citizens of the State of Califor-
nia-owing our first allegiance to the Govern
ment of the United States-and, as citizens of
the Great Republic, we are in favor of main-
tainng the Constitution and laws of our Fede-
raj Government at all hazards, and under all
circumstances.
4th. That by the adoption of our Federal
Constitution, our Federal Government was
created and established by the whole of the
States and ratified by the people thereof-that
under and in conformity with the Federal Con-
stitution, power is not reserved to State, or
to the people thereof, to secede from the Gen
eral Union, or in any manner to obstruct the
operation of the Government in the exercise of
its constitutional powers.
9TH That we repudiate the project of q
Pacific Republic, as visionary and mischievous:
that wherever the Constitution and the Union
are, there is the ark of our covenant where
the flag of our Union is unfurled, there is our
honor and glory.
9th That we cordially endorse the resolu-
tions of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee which met in San Francisco on Tues
day last.
7th That we invite all Union men, no mat
ter whether they voted for Bell, Douglas or
Breckinridge, to unite with us in our primary
meetings, and the only test shall be- are you
in favor of the Union, and a maintenance of
the Constitution and laws
