The weekly Butte record., 1862-05-03

How ABOUT HERScEFL N-Sous of our
Douglas eoiemp0rarieS. who are taking conSi-
derable pains TO give Us dig in the ribs occa-
sionally. accuse Us Of being seceSsionists, and
prove it IS follows John c. Breckinridge
was supported BY the Express for President,
in 1860; John c. Breckinridge IS now trai-
tor il arms against the Union ergo the Ex-
press must be secesh Well. let Us concede
that the reasoning Is correct. Now We viii
try our hand. HeFschel V. johnson was sup
ported by the Butte REcoRD for Vice Presi-
dent, in 1860. Herschel V Is now traitor !:
ergo, the BCTTs RECORD IS a treasonable
sheet. And Us the RECOED has proven the
Express 10 be secesh. aud the Express has
proven the RgcoRp TO be Secesh. ergo the Ex-
press and the RECORD are in the same BOX.

should never throw stones at their neighbo-S.
Marysvilie Express
Can't see it." We called you secesh, be
cause you seeded from the Democratic organ
ization at the Charleston National Democratic
Convention. Hersebel V. johnson continued
with the Democratic organization, and we sup
ported him. When he seceshed, we dropped
him. The difference is this: The Express
supported Breckenridge after Breckenridge had
seceshed from the Democratic party. Oar sup
I port of johnson was prior to Johnson's seces
sion from the Democratic party. No paper
can secesh from tie Democratic party, except
by lis own act. The logic used by the Express
that We supported johnson in 1860, that ] Johu
/ son subsequently became a traitor, and there
/ fore " the BUTTE RECORD is q reasonable
sheet" is not in our copy of Whately. We
have heard Republicans make use of this rea-
soning against the Democracy so ably of
course, as the Express has presented it above.
/ The moral concerning glass houses is an optical
/ Illusion, TO which the dweller therein is subject
when the season of the solstice approaches. \
I person in the act of holding up well planted
amppost, experiences the same illusion in pro-
nounclng upon the intoxication of the staid
and sober passer by. Its bearing has been
traced still farther by a profound writer who
truthiully illustrates the phenomena by remark
/ ing that misery loves company" Our domi-
Gil is a " Monitor the exact size Of the clo-
rious American Union. The noble old ship is
aground now One Captain Buchanan, with
the foolishness Of the bear in the fable, who
made use of large rock 10 kill a fly that had
taken position on his sleeping masters nose,
made use of the good old ship to run down a
contemplate little Black Republican craft
known as the New York Tribune, commanded
By Capt. Greely, and struck a traitorous shoal.
Republican plunderers and rebel wreckers are
surrounding it. viii the Express abandon
the organization formed by seceders from the
National Democratic Convention and assist
the good old Democratic party in repelling
plunderers and wreckers, and getting the ship
once more afoat, that it may go proudly on
its course, without a missing spar or sail?
A Butte Boy HoyoRED.-N. D. Witt,
Esq, formerly of this county, but for the last
two or three years Depty Sheriff of Mendocno
county, has recently been the recipient of
magnificent watch, presented by his apprecia-
tive fellow citizens of Ukiah City. 1t is des-
cribed by the Herald as follows:
1t may be one of Tobias best, double hunt
ing-cased, full jeweled, chronometer balanced
1t Is of singular workmanship. being in itself
set of plate, and represents a dinner scene well
known to California, and with slight adjust
meat becomes mouse trap. springs an alarm
whenever the victim is caught. 1t also num-
bers the days of the week correctly. and cannot
be stolen from the owners pocket without his
knowledge.
\ magnificent present-combining the use
full and beautifu!-its intrinsic value can only
be exceeded by the tick it confers upon its
possessor. A dozen of Deamer & Wallis
soda having just come in, here's to Witt, and
his double hunting cased full jeweled chro-
nometer balanced rat trap"
