The weekly Butte record., 1862-06-21
Magalia Correspondence,

The beautiful yet euphonius, village Of Dog.
town alias Butte Mills, otherwise called Maca,
LA, has been of late visited by two remarkable
political phenomena. \ few weeks since, a
singular looking hom5Ts might have been seen
vending his solitary way through the streets
Of the above named village At the first glance
be might have been taken for wandering
schootmasier, seeking some locality in which
be might teach the young idea how to shoot
\ second look and the mind would be impress
ed with the idea that the said homb7e was the
impersonation of one of those wandering cTea-
lures that sometimes s,arile mining localities,
preaching the lowly attributes Of the Saviour
of mankind, and Him crucl6ed. But, 10 few
hours the peculiar vocation of this singular
hombre became apparent. He proved himself
to be the secret agent Of a secret society, the
object and scope Of which was TO amalgamato
and unite the unterri6ed and constitutional
Democracy with the unconstitutional, ha5a,s
oorPus-breaking, woolly-headed, press-suppress-
ing Repubs of this vicinity, aod to carry out
these peculiar principles by the means Of secret
signs, dark lanterns. mysterious insignia, etc.
The thing wouldn't take. 4 few met-fouud
ont the object and left in disgust, satisfied that,
If the Union aud Constitution could not be
preserved by the patriotism of the people, no
revival Of the regime Of Know Nothingism
could have that effect, and the solitary hombre
departed on his way, whether rejoicing or not,
depouent sayeth not.
Phenomenon No. 2.-You have seen the
call of the Chairman of the Republican county
committee. Well, in pursuance of that call.
the woOlly headed met at Buffam's, to Sc
lect delegates. Five of them were there, and
one Union Democrat, who by false assertions
as to the object of the meeting, had been in
veigled into it. The FIVE sat in solemn con-
clave. They cogtated and pondered in solemn
thought They debated among themselves,
whether the negro race would become degra-
ded by contact with the white Five thought
that it would while the sixth-of Democratic
proclivities-thought it would be better to
keep the negro in his proper sphere, and il tao
war was to be carried on, that it should be
waged for the restoration of the Union and
not for the emancipation of the slave. Here
was difference of opinion. Bot the woollya
had the majority, FIVE TO one, so the solemn
conclave of FIVE determined to elect four dele
gates to attend the niger loving convention
that met in your town on Saturday last. -Four
delegates were accordingly elected to represent
the wishes of the dark fraternity of this vci-
mage. Gods and little fishes! After notice
of three weeks, only FIVE woollys could be ga
thered TO consult upon the great question OF
whether the niger is better than the white
man, and whether the said niger should not
have all the advantages, and commingle, mari
tai and otherwise, with the said white man.
Straws show the drift of the current, and this
mighty ebulition of darkness shows that the
day of Republican reckoning is at hand, and
that the Democratic masses will again arise in
their might and restore the Constitution and
the Union of ODr fathers ANTr-RFPTp
