Union Meeting at Bangor.

BANGOR, May 25, 1861.
EDITORS BUTTE RECORD Sirs Pursuant
to call for Union meeting, the citizens of Ban
gor and vicinity met at the Union Saloon, in
Bangor, on the 23d inst, and the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
PEAMBLE: Whereqs, violent and unprn-
ciped men impelled by an unhoy thirst for
power, are now in the United States, attempt
ing by force of arms to overthrow and destroy
the Federal Government, and whereas, we
deem it the duty of all good citizens to array
themselves on the side of the laws and the
Constitution and to speak out boldly for the
Union.
Resolred, That Gaining the proud title of
American citizens we hereby pledge ourselves
to maintain the honor of our flag, and the in
tegrity and perpetuiiy of the American union,
and to protect the rights, privileges and inter
ests of all American citizens, whether attacked
by foreign foes or vile traitors at home.
Resoiued, That it were better that a million
of lives and world of treasure should be lost
than that the Government of these United
States should be destroyed by the hands of
traitors.
Resolved, That we hold the secessionists who
have taken up arms against the Federal Gov
ernment to be traitors and their sympathisers,
aders and abettors to be equal in guilt.
ReSolred, That those who are not with us,
are against US, and that we know no party but
the one that is pledged to preserve the Union
and the Constitution of these United States,
and that we know no separation.
Resolved, I hat we will not support for Office
nor vote for an individual, from President of the
United States down to any Office of the smallest
power, who is not Internationally for the Con,
sttution, the Union and the Government and
who will not strive and assist to keep the stars
and stripes flying from one end of the country
to tbs other.
After the above resolutions the meeting ap-
pointed committee to draft a constitution
and bylaws for the Union Club.
BY order of the meeting the secretary was re-
quested to send copy to several Union papers
for publication-amongst those, the BUTTE
RECORD, it being the only Union paper of
Butte county. Yours, &c,
r. F. FLOYD, Sec'y.

Cherokee Union Club.

CHEROKEE May 30, 1861.
Ed. RECORD: | am instructed by the Union
Club of this place to forward you a copy of
the resolutions passed on Monday evening last,
at which time the Club was permanently or
ganized by the election of B. p. Hutchinson,
as President Jas G. Whitelaw, Vice Presi-
dent j. 5. Smith, Secretary, and David
Weaver, Treasurer. The resolutions are as
follows:
WHEREAS: Our country is conyulsed IN civil
war, and the urgency of the occasion renders
it necessary for the President TO use eXtraor-
dinary means for Its suppression, and the en-
forcement Of the laws therefore,
ResoiUed, That we the people of Cherokee
declare our determination to stand by the
Union in every emergency, and to support the
Administration in all Just efforts to maintain
the laws and to uphold the honor and dignity
Of our National flag.
ResotUed, That in our opinion, if tie Union
is dissolved, the cause of freedom will receive
shock from which il never can recover, and
that 1t would be an act of suicide on the part
of the general Government to recognize the in
dependence of the Seeding States.
RESOLVED, That we have heretofore been
blessed with prosperity and all the necessary
privileges of freedom under the fostering care
of the general Government, and, that the stars
and stripes-emblem of our national greatness,
shall be the only flag to wave over us forever.
Resolued, That in order to realize the spirit
of the foregoing resolutions, we herewith unite
in a patriotic Association to be known under
the name of the Union Club OF Cherokee.
Sixty-seven persons signed the Constitution
and attached themselves to the Club.

see how many traitors we have in the country,

On Thursday last, June %, Gen Shields ar

was learned in Downievlle that Gen. Shields

prince of landlords, Col. Bill Henry, run out

as Supervisor Retiker met him and assaulted
him with the accusation of offering an insult to
Senator Thornton, in raising the United States
flag before him. Senator Thornton, it seems,

ANOTHER FATAL DUEL.-We are again
called upon to record the occurrence of ano-
ther fatal duel within the boundaries of our
State. On Saturday last, in Marin county,
Charles W. Piercy, of Santa Barbara, fell a
victim to the bloody demands of the code OF
honor, at the hands of Dan Shoulwater, OF
Maraposa. The weapons used were rides,
distance forty measured yards. The first fire
was harmless but at the second, Mr.. Piercy
fell and expired in three minutes, without ut
tearing sound, having received the ball from
his adversary rife in the mouth, it passing
from thence into his spine. They were both
members of the late Assembly, and the cause
of the difficulty originated in words used in
debate on the Union resolutions. Mr.. Piercy
was Unionst, and Mr.. Shoalwater an arrant
Secessionist. Thus another has been added to
the list-who will fall next

to review his address at length. He began
with the proposition that as representative

opinion of his constituents, and when satisfied
as to what their sentiments were. to fairly
carry them out, in his action He then re-
viewed the alleged wrongs of the South, and
showed that these were bat the cloak under
which the rebels tried to hide the infamy of
Secession then argued the absurdity of the
State Right doctrine. and concluded with an
appeal to the people of this State to remain
true to the Stars and Stripes. With the SEN
