Forbestown Correspondence.
FoRBEsTowN, A

FoRBEsrowN, August 29th, 1861.
Mr. EDITOR We, of the hills were favor
ed last evening by part of speech from F.
NJ. Smith, Esq, of your city, who met J. R.
Mcconnell here by arrangement for politi-
cal discussion being McConnell's meeting, he
fixed the terms, giving Smith the opening, for
one hour, he occupying the balance of the eve
ming. At five minutes past eight Mr.. Smith
was introduced and commenced his speech by
referring to McConnell's saying, :" As goes
Kentucky, so I CO." and followed rapidly, TAX
ing McConnell's speech in Orovie as his text,
and confuting his positions. Then, laying down
the proposition that the South had never been
injured, or attempted to be, by the General
Government, he called on Mcconnell TO show
any single instance of oppression, either to the
North or South After several other proper
and pertinent propositions, and while in the
middle of sentence, he was imperiously call
ed to time at precisely nine o'clock, thus cut
ting off five minutes of his time The wonder
among our people was not that the time had
been shortened five minutes, but that he had
been allowed to 60 on so long, throwing bomb
shells into the secession ranks. We all feel
that Smith had not fair chance, and would
much like to hear the conclusion be wished to
make. Mcconnell Immediately took the stand,
and began by some low wit and vulgar slang,
at the same time claiming immaculate decency
for himself and friends He said that Mr..
Smith had seen fit to revive that manytimes
denied SANDER in regard to GAS goes Ken
tucky," ETC., asserting that it had been denied
over and over again. lie did not say he had
denied it, but said be, " pass this over for
the present, but will explain it further before
close He left here without another word
about it. And this is a fair sample of his
manner of disposing of all of Smiths propo-
sitions and arguments. He said he came
here to denounce both the North and the
South and TO show way to a peaceful end of
all cur difficulties. He did denounce the
North and the Southern Helpers book ad
hitting Helper to have been North Caro-
linan But his whole effort seemed to be to
palate, and finally approve the course of the
secessionists. About half he said was mere
twaddle He was evidently not pleased with
Smiths remarks, and found all his labor an
uphill business He gained no votes here, and
angered some of his devoted friends by saying
there was no such right as secession. They
seem lot to comprehend that he could de-
nounce secession and in the same breath, ap-
prove and defend seceders. Our great regret
is that Smith had not the right to reply.
UNION
The weekly Butte record., 1861-08-31
Forewarned Forearmed

We have repeatedly called attention to the
fact that the Mcconnell party were plotting
secession, disunion and treason under the garb
of loyalty. That conclusion was forced upon
US by the mysterious perrigrinations OF known
secession satellites through our own county !;
and the observations of the last few days have
confirmed the Justice of our suspicious. Were
this diabolical plot confined TO one locality,
county or town, it would not, perhaps, be wor-
thy of notice, but, extending, as it does, into
nearly, if not quite, every town throughout
the length and breadth of the State, it should
be warning to Union men to be upon their
guard and not allow treason to catch them
mapping. As an evidence of the extensive
ness Of this reasonable organization, we quote
few brief extracts from State papers. The
Marysville Democrat says:
The belief is gaining ground that as soon
| as the election is over, and false professions OF
| fraernal love by secessionists are no longer
necessary for partisan purposes, some attempts
to disturb the peace will be mads by them in
this State.
The Morning Call has the following:
We hear positively of various secession sym
pathizers in this State who VOW positively to
resist. even by force, the collection of the Uni
ted States Property and Income Tax.
A San Francisco correspondent. writes to
the Union, that evidences of the existence Of
large organizations of secessionists in several
of the interior counties are not wanting to show
that our State possesses an element of treason
that will bear watching.
A writer in Tuesday Alta Californian says ::
assert arhat l know when l state that,
throughout the length and breadth of this
| State exists a secrect secession organization,
its ramifcations extending into nearly every
city and town in California. \ = Comb-
nations, fall of danger, are forming about us,
and it is our own fault if we sleep in fancied
security Sumer-like, until we are placed at
their mercy. In this very city the traitors
are active and numerous.
A card published by Sheriff Van Luven, of
San Barnardino county says:
"There are held in this county midn ight
| Secession meetings. They are collecting all
! lue forces lney can, anu uOiiiS all Nnty Cdu "
assist the Confederate principals, for which we
have appealed for troops until our cries have
become lost in the fog, and the commanding
officers have turned their eyes to more peace
ful places where they can sit with folded arms
and have nothing TO do but train"
We take the following from the Napa Re-
porter
A noted Secessionist here predicts that
there will be bloodshed in California within
twelve months, if the Government undertakes
to collect direct tax and it is beyond ques-
tion that the anxiety of the Secessionists about
the Sheriff, &c, arises from the expectation of
trouble of their own brewing.
We might add still more to the list of extracts,
but we deem these sufficient to convince any
unbiased mind it is time for Union men to
awake to the fearful condition of things in this
State, and prepare themselves to meet and
crush the first open attempt to strike blow

San Francisco Correspondence.
SAN Francisco. August 29th


DEAR RECORD Never did bomb shell
into an unsuspecting camp cause more con-
sternation in the Republican ranks than the
Daily Times, of this city, when it came out
Yesterday morning with the name of John
Conness substituted for Stanford for Governor.
Many suppositions have been given the true
one know is, that at a caucus held in this
city. of the Republican leaders, and having ia
ken survey of the chances, it was decided
the stump speakers two of whom spoke in your
city short time since, gave it as their opln-
ion that Conness would leave Sacramento,
SOUTH with $4,000 majority, and as Conness
chances in San Francisco had materially in
creased, so that Stanford S majority here would
not exceed at most, 1000, it was better to
withdraw Stanford and run the rest OF
the ticket The friends of Senator Baker
clamored for Stanford's withdrawal. 1t ap-
pears to an outsider that it was the friends Of
Baker that has caused the hosting of Con
ness name. 1t is entirely within the Repub
ican ranks. Seven of the eight men who con-
troll the Times voted for Lincoln, and are now
good Republicans, but will now vote for Con
ness, considering him the only chance to beat
Mcconnell. The Times proprietors have cor
respondenee from leading Republicans, stating
that the estimated vote for Conness, as given
by them, is 47,000, which will undoubtedly
elect him our next Governor RIcHELIEU.

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY We ac-
knowledge the receipt of complimentary
ticket TO the Sh Annual Fair of the Society.
which copmences on the 10th of september
aud confines to the 2lSt inclusive. We re-
turn thanks for the invitation, and will endeavor
to be there. The State Fair is one of the
liked things of our State, and we look to its
proceedings with more interest than we do to
the Legislature, in fact it is a more useful and
beHefcient institution.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO VOTERS.

We desire to call the attention of the public
to the following clauses in the thirty fourth
section of our statutes concerning Elections
(" And if more persons are designated on any
ticket for any Office than are to be elected TO
such Office, such part of the ticket shall not be
counted for any of them" As California is
entitled to but tlco Representatives for the
Thirty-seventh Congressional term, voting for
three candidates for Congress upon any ticket
would invalidate the choice Of the voter for
any and all of the candidates on the ticket for
that office. And the Thirty seventh is the next
Congress- and but two candidates should be
voted for,-vz: McKibben and Edgerton, the
Convention nominees.

LYING ARGUMENTS 1t is strange with
what pertinacity the Secession speakers, and
the peace party press, headed by the Marys
vile Express, persist in echolng the hue and
cry that the war was commenced by the North.
Never did more unblemiShed brazen, lying
calumny emanate from the lips of pen or man.
Any one who has read the news of current
events for the past few months, knows that
the South was in active preparation and
actually commenced it months before the North
raised an arm to repel the blow. Men who
will thus pervert the truth must presume much
upon the ignorance of the people of Cal
iornia. But nothing better can be expected
of men who will cry peace, peace, while trail
tors are planting batteries almost at the very
portals Of the National Capital who cooly
and deliberately weighed the very existence of
their country iD the scale with dollars and
cents-who revile patriots, and applaud traitors ;
who secretly glory in the defeat of the Union
forces and the success of the rebels, who,
without the least remorse Of conscience can
publicly proclaim devotion to the Government
which they are bending every nerve to over
throw Such men would revel in bacchanalan
orgies while the Goddess of Liberty lay man
gled and bleeding at the feet Of traitors

The Mcdonnell Meeting.

On Monday night last our citizens, and ma
ny from the country, induced, no doubt, more
by curiosity to see and hear the leader of the
Secession forces of California, than from any
sympathy they entertained for the incendiary
dogmas and opinions enunciated by the regular
Secession candidate for Governor. His speech
was long, occupying two hours and a-half in
its delivery, and full Of the stale sayings OF
Seward, Lincoln. Banks, Sumner Of the United
States Senate, Helper and John Brown,-it in
great part, sounded to US like he reading of a
document circulated by the Secession paper of
this county last week, entitled 4 potrerful
appeal for peace, by the champions Of 'rar.
IA Abolltion party, and an AbolH1on lcaT.
1t was labored and up hill effort, and will
be circulated by the Marysville Express (Se-
cession) throughout the State as sound
Secession document, and calculated to gull
those who will not reflect upon the incineerity
of all the Union professions Of the leaders OF
that party. Mr.. Mcdonnell thought that his
party were Cdlitu CeCeSSlODlStS anu iiditOi ,
because they would not bow to the Idol set up
by Lincoln. But that is not the case you are
so-called, and truthfully too, from the heresies
and Disunion sentiments expressed emphatic
ally in your platform adopted at Sacramento.
In his whole talk he never mentioned that
platform once And if any candid man will
read it and not come to the conclusion that
Bolts, Heydenfeldt, Randolph & Co., meant
and intended Secession, and recognition of
the Southern Confederacy, then we deplore
the obtuseness of bis understanding. And
then compare the doctrines and opinions of
Mcconnell with those lately given to the world
by his fellow citizens of Kentucky, Crttenden,
Holt and Prentice They are Union men and
patriots-no one would presume to call them
nor any OF them Secessionists or trators-they
are above Secession. They justify the war,
and say it was forced upon the country by the
South, and the people of Kentucky so believe,
and have so acted in their late election. If
they had believed and followed the heresies
and teachings of Mcconnell they would have
been in the Southern Confederacy today.

TO THE UNION VOTERS.

This will be our last issue before the cleo
tion, which comes off on Wednesday next, the
4th of September, unless urgent circumstances
should require an E1tra, which we VIII be
ready to put forth
REMEMBER,
That the Union Democratic ticket contains
not name upon it whose devotion and loyalty
to the Government is questioned.
REMEMBER,
That J. D. Pollard is the stronger of the
Union candidates, and will carry 800 votes
outside of his party, and is the only sure man
to defeat Middleton.
REMEM BER,
That our ticket wears its true character at
its head, with the Union nominee, CONFESS to
bear it through the fight.
REMEMBER,
That it is the leading object of the seces-
sionists to use all efforts in every county of
the State to elect the Sheriff and District At
torney, to foil the Government in collecting
the taxes to support the war and pay the Ma
tional debt, necessarily incurred to protect and
defend our country
REMEMBER
That the organization Of secessionists in
this county are using every effort, and sacrif-
cling everything to promote the election of W.
O. Middleton, the disunion candidate for
Sheriff
REMEMBER,
That w. O. Middleton, the secession candi-
date for Sheriff. was member of the State
Convention that was led by Bolts, Heyden-
denfeldt & Co., the ST cession leaders of the
State; and passed the resolutions teeming with
secession doctrines, and recommending the re-
cognition of the Southern Confederacy.
REMEMBER,
That J. D. Pollard the Union candidate for
Sheriff, is an unconditional Union man, whose
fidelity to his country in the present crisis has
never been questioned, nor can it be.
REMEMBER,
That we believe in the doctrine of rotation
in office, about these times and deem a change
in the Office Of Sheriff of this county eminently
proper and demanded by the people; and we
also believe that the chief Executive officer
Of the county should be a Union man of un-
doubted loyalty, and who would not vote for
an ordinance Of secession and we further be-
| leve that J. D Pollard would fully satisfy all
these demands and requisites. Elect him, and
you will not be disappointed.
REMEMBER,
That all candidates on the secession ticket
headed by j. R. Mcconnell, who say they are
Union men, and soemnly protest that they
are 10 favor of the Stars and Stripes, and OF
the support of the Government, are wolves in
sleeps clothing they are opposed to the war,
the only means of saving our country and in
stitutions, as proclaimed by the venerable
Crittenden and the lameuted Douglas.
REMEMBER,
That if you love your country, and wish to
preserve it as it was handed down to you that
you must sacrifice all personal considerations
and individual preferences, and vote for those
Union men whose loyalty to that country is
unquestioned, and who fear not to strike for
