But We believe what responsible citizens of that
town say to us, that the intelligent portion are
heartily disgusted with the onslaughts made upon
the northern portion of the county, and its citizens
by the REcoRp. We have heard it intimated by
responsible parties, that the County Seat of Butte
county would before the ides of May, have jour

county, and instead of constantly tearing and ira
