THE DM RECORD.
OROVILLE. SATURDAY, MARCH 19,
For President, in 1864,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
ANDREW JOHNSON, of Term.
(Subject to the Decision of the National Union
Convention.)
Union County Central Committee.
Pursuant to a resolution of the Union Coon
ty ConTention, Mr. Ewer, Chairman of the

as a Union County Central Committee for the
ensuing year :
ROBERT RICHEY Oroville

Independence.
“The race is not always to the swift nor the
battle to the strong." "But it is oftenest so,"
laith a cynic. This text is called to our mind
by a leisurely retrospective view of President
Lincoln’s career as Chief Executive of the
Government during the present unparalleled
rebellion. While carpers about the weakness
of the Administration—as against everything
else —are not found wanting in this great crisis
of oar affairs, it is an undoubted fact that, when
Lincoln and his policy are subjected to the test
of thorough inquiry and examination, those
most loth to confess that “any good can come
out of Nazareth" are compelled to admit that
our present Chief Magistrate’s course is gov
erned by the dictates of an unsullied conscience,
and that his policy has been crowned by as
complete success as would be likely to be
vouchsafed to any ordinary mortal. Abraham
Lincoln has mastered himself, and the great
truth is applicable to him ;
*‘ An easy task it is to tread
The path the multitude will take;
But indejieadenee dares the slake,
If but by fair conviction led."
He has learned that it is sometimes as necessary
to differ with friends as with foes. He has
learned that the over zealous Unionist is some
times liable to miscalculate and go wrong as
well as the Jesuitical and wavering pro slavery
(so called) ‘war Democrat,” and has adopted
the "golden mean" of reasonable, practicable
measures, which, of course, contemplate the
entire eradication of slavery as absolutely nec
essary to the permanent restoration of peace ou
a perfect Union basis. Taking this view of
the matter, we can cordially say with the poet;
“Then keep thy independence whole—
Let nothing warp thee from thy course—
And thou slialt wield a giant's force.
And wrong before thy foot shall roll."
The News.
The news from the theater of war, this week,
relates mostly to preparations for the opening
of the spring campaign. General Grant, it is
now said, will lead the columns against Rich
mond in person. He believes that the capture
of the rebel capital is of the first importance,
and, if he undertakes the job, we shall not hear
the old stereotyped dispatch, “All quiet in the
Array of the Potomac,” until that army is
quietly encamped in the environs of Richmond.
Gen. Halleck has been relieved by the Presi
dent, and offered any position iu the field that
he may desire.
It is rumored that Farragut is to withdraw
bis fleet from Mobile bay, being satisfied that
he city cannot be taken by water.
Portcr's fleet of ironclads was at latest dates
it the mouth of Red river. Thirty transports,
oaded with troops, were there. Ranks was to
ake the field on the I Oth, and his army coni
nence immediate operations.
Jeff. Davis has appointed Friday, April Blh,
is a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer.
A Times' dispatch says five hundred of our
irisoners died at Richmond during February.
An order is soon to be issued relieving Gen.
iluade and appointing his successor. It is also
tated that Rurnsido will be assigned to the
epartment of the South, and that Thomas will
oon be relieved from command of the Army
f the Cumberland, and succeeded by either
losccrans or Herron.
The Richmond papers have paragraphs to
he effect that funding the debt of the Confed
racy is progressing rapidly at Petetsburg,
taleigh, Macon and Charleston.
Rbiss Battery Destroyed.—On Saturday
lorning last a battery composed of seven
rass pieces w as received from Reuicia by Ad
itant General Kibbe and stored in a bay
•rehouse at Thirteenth aid L streets. The
uildirg was set on fire, and the guns, along
ilh the caissons, etc, were entirely destroyed.
> far as fire could accomplish that object,
lie loicm says that the fire was the work of
eccssionists nobody will pretend to deny. The
cts io connection with the affair, including
10 storage of such property in such a building
f General Kibbe, if be is the responsible
irty, should las the subject of the most rigid
rntiny on the part of the legislature. It
iou!d not be forgotten that the premises of
ylvester Tyron were burnt ou the night on
hich his name was first announced as a mem
■r of the Board of Enrollment. Forty eight
l urs after a Union battery is received in the
ty uis destroyed by similar means. Such
cideuts may be the result of accident, but we
m't believe a word of it. Of the pieces dc
royed. four were six pounders, and three were
reive pound howitzers.
Okeoox.—The Portland Union says that the
emoerals admit that they do not expect to
wry a single county in the State at the
>ming election.
The counties of Mariposa and U mboldt
ive held their County Uenventions and ap
minted delegates to the Union Slate 0 .■-.ven

After some remarks from Mr. Hamilton in

Mr. Ledyard, of Hamilion, introduced the
following resolutions ;
Resolved. That it is the opinion of this Conven-
that the Specific Contract Law of the State
of California, is not in harmony with that spirit
of loyalty that animates a vast majority of the
people of California.
Resolved, That or.r Representivea in the Legls’
lain re. are requested to use their exertions in pro*

D. W. C. Gaskill opposed their adoption
lie characterized them as a “firebrand" thrown

Mr. Ledyard replied to Mr. Gaskill in an

the resolutions were adopted almost unani
moualy.

lished in the Union Record within ten davs

occur at any time in their own body.
Mr. Gaskill asked that those voting in the
affirmative have magnanimity enough to move
a reconsideration of the Specific Contract
law resolutions.
Mr Coughey, of Oroville, moved a recon
sideration. Carried.
Mr. Hamilton moved that the first resolu
tion in relation to the specific contract law be
stricken out. In narking this motion, Mr.
Hamilton stated that he was in favor of the
resolutions, he d:d not think they impugned
the loyalty of any man. but others might give
them that construction. He thought the se
cond resolution carried out sufficiently the
views of those- who like himself were in favor
of the repeal of the specific contract law.

ral delegates on Mr. Hamilton's motion. The
motion was lost. Ayes 15; Noes 41.

able means to *ecnre. the ejection of Gen. John
Bid well ,a delegate to represent the Northern pom n
of the State in the National Union Convection, to
be held at Bal»more. in Jane next.
On motion, > committee of three was ap
pointed to wait on Geo. Bidwell to state his
views in relation to the Administration. The
Committee retired and soon reappeared with
Gen. Bidwell who was receded with applause.
Gen. Bidwell was introduced to the conten
tion by the President and spoke as follows;
Mr Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con
vention : The unexpected honor of being called
before yon fills me with emotions of gratitude
which f am unable to find language to express.
In defining toy position on the great issues of
the day, permit me to say that I stand by the
Union and iu defenders, now and hereafter,
and in every emergency that may arise will I
uphold that glorious banner of onr national
liberty. Before tbe war began which desolates
our land. I foresaw tbe clouds which hate burst
upou the nation, and abandoned tbe party
through whose instrumentality the wicked
scheme was to be accomplished. Xo party lies
or platforms, no motives of friendship, or any
other consideration, shall make me swerve from
the path of loyalty to my country. I look
refuge from the storm that was gathering in
tbe horizon, and embarked upon the ship of the
Union. By that glorious craft 1 will stand as
long as tbe clouds of adversity and treason
lower upon the fate of our country, and till tbe
noble ship of State sbail have accomplished her
destiny, and firmly anchored in the haven of
freedom. The time has arrived when it becomes
every true patriot to look at thing? ss they are.
Tbe name of a party has nothing to do with its
principles. Ton cannot disguise treason by
calling it democracy. That government is tbe
most democratic which secares the greatest
rights of suffrage to the people. True democracy
is loyal. I stood by the old Democratic parly
as long as it remained loyal; but that party is
dead and buried. It waa killed by the poison
of treason, which permeated every part of the
system and destroyed its life.
My political experience has taught me that
name is nothing. Poison is poison, call it by
what name you will. 1 heard it confessed this
morning by one who belongs to wbat is now
called the Detnrcratic party, but who is more
generous, more frank and truthful than most of
his fellow partisans, that tbe name Democratic
was a misnomer—that it should be called tbe
rebel or secession party. He acknowledged
that slavery was the cause of this rebellion. 1
believe he told the truth ; and, in the name of
Freedom and all that is holy, Ictus destroy the
cause and save our country.
In conclusion, let me say that I am in favor
of sustaining the present Administration iu all
its measures, the emancipation proclamation,
with men and money, and ships of war, and all
the vast resources of the country, to conduct
this war to a triumphant close. lam in favor
of re electing that great, good and wonderful
man who now guides the ship of our destiuies—
I mean Abraham Lincoln.
.Mr. Conghcy renewed his motion which
was unanimously adopted.
J. M. Clark offered the following resolution,
which was adopted :
Resolved, That this convention tender a vote of
thanks to H‘»u. F. M. Smith, for the course he
has taken, in regard to the repeal of the Act
known as the Special Contract l.aw.
On motion of Mr. Mandevillc, the couven
tion adjourned sine the.

The Reasons.
Gents—l am asked every day what claim
Mr. Lincoln has to are election to the Presi
dency. The following are the reasons, in part;
Ist. Ills administration has been just, hu
mane and determined. lie has taught the
Rebels to respect what they would not lore.
2d. lie has proven himself inferior to none
in sagacity and statesmanship, and won the
admiration of his enemies.
3d. lie has made L'.S. the Erst N ation up
on the face of the earth, and demonstrated the
fact that we are capable of self government.
4th. Ho is a patriot, statesman and Christian
warrior.
sth. He says the Union most and shall be
preserved, and knows exactly how to prdserve
it
6th. The Nation owes him a debt of grati
tude, which can only be partially reipiitted by
his re election.
7th. He has had more to contend with than
any other man in his position ever had before
and triumph}; and with such a Christian lea
der, liberal and magnanimous, we as a nation,
are invincible.
Slh. The war upon the Union was commen
ced by Traitors because he was elected Presi
dent, and it is necessary to elect him again to
prove to tbem-tbat the North still think they
have a right to elect a Northern man if they
want to.
9th. He is detested by traitors which proves
that he is the right man in the right place,
and the only man capable of navigating the
Ship of L T nion through secession waters with
out danger of stranding.
10th. It is necessary to elect Lincoln, so
that he can learn Kngland all about privateer
ing and France al! about the Monroe doctrine
when he has leisure, and make the Star Span
gled Banner a terror to traitors and tyrants.
I submit the above reasons for his re-clection
and am satisGed that even Copperheads will
endorse them. Yours Respectfully, E. C. L.
Hamilton Township.
Members of the Legislature are now receiving
only Eve dollars a day, and will be entitled to
this amount only for the rest of the session,
which ends the sth of April. This reduction,
to five dollars does not. however, effect the
speakers, who continue to receive their twelve
dollars to the end of the session.
Me. Kasson, of lowa, stated in the House,
recently, that the Post Office Department is
now self-sustaining for the Erst time in fifteen
years, which he attributes mainly to the
legislation of Congress.
A Calitobnia Investor.—A printer by
the name of G. T. Hushcell, of San Francisco,
left that city on the steamer America, on
Tuesday last for the Fast to secure a patent
for the invention which be calls the Automa
tic Printing Press.’’
Idaho City —Bannock City has been incor
porated by the Idaho Territorial Legislature,
and will in future be known as Idaho City,
and is to have a mayor, marshal, regular police,
etc. The News thicks that, upon the whole,
this will prove a benefit.
No Mike Warrants.—The State Controller
refuses to issue auy more warrants, because the
indebtedness now amounts to S3oo.ooo—the
constitutional limit (says a dispatch).
To Quiet California Land Titles.
A correspondent of the Sacramento U:,lon
writing from Washington, under date of Feb
ruary 11th. says that Senator Concess has
introduced a bill into Congress to expedite
the settlement of the titles to lands in the
State of California, of which the principal
point is the abrogation of the Act of Ic6o.
commonly known ns the "Hoffman Act.” by
which the Coarts of the United States are
oblisred to act and decide npon mere questions
of metes and bounds in determing upon pri
vate land grants. At present the Conns have
to decide npon questions which.in the absence
of accurate maps, can only be intelligently
considered by Land Commissioners or Survey
ors: and this bill lakes ail such questions out of
the Courts, end makes it necessary that the
plats and surveys of the lands in dispute shall
be forwarded to the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office, where objections, if any.
shall be made, and if no objection is made
within three months after their receipt by
him, the correctness of the same shall not be
open to contestation in any Court in any suit
between the United States and the claimant,
or between parties claiming under them, but a
patent shall be issued to the claimant as soon
as possible after such an approval. Under
the "Hoffman Act” these cases have greatly
multiplied, and are likely to become a serious
nuisance to the Supreme Court, which they
have just b gau to reach. I'he bill also pro
vides that where an appeal has already been
taken in these private land cases to the Su
preme Court, that Court shall have jurisdic
tion and shall determine the case, but where it
has not been taken, the case may be sent back
to the Surveyor General from the Circuit
Court for a new survey, or the Circuit Court
may reverse or modify tha decision of the
Court below; but if a new survey is bad ia the
case, the subsequent survey shall be subject to
the decision of the Commissioner of the Gen§.
ra! land office, and not to the Courts,
Opinion of District Attorney on the
“Lawyer’s Test Oath.”
The Grand Jury having submitted to me the
attorney 3 oath taken by the attorneys of this
bar. I find that all the attorneys now practicing
at this bar have laktii the oath required by the
Act of 1503, except L.C. Granger and J. E. .N.
Lewis.
The constitutionality of this Act having been
lately sustained by the Supreme Court iu the
case of ex parte Gregory Yale, it would be un
becoming in me or this Grand Jury to question
the binding force ot said law. It only remains,
then, to consider whether the attorneys named
, have taken the oath required by said Act.
I The oath of L. C. Granger, submitted to me
by this Grand Jury, commences as follows : ‘I.
L. C. Granger.au attorney duly licensed,” etc..
i etc-, thus giving a short history of bis life ai d
present slata », not required iu the prescribed
oath, but this cauuot effect the validity of the
the oath, as it does not in any manner change
the meaning thereof -, but he makes numerous
qualifications which do change the meaning of
said oath. The Legislature require the oath to
be taken without qualification or mental reser
vation, while the oath of said Grangsr such
qualification that Jefferson Davis or any i f his
followers might take the same oath without
doing the least violence to their consciences. Iu
the very beginning of said oath occurs the fol
lowing language: ‘ Disclaiming all intent to
support the Fed- rai Government in any aggres
sion upon the sovereign rights of the Slates.”
This is such a qualification as to vitiate the
whole oath. If the Federal Government under
takes to collect revenue in the State, he could
resist the same, and with Johu G. Calhoun say
“the Government has no right to collect tariff,
and the attempt to do so is an aggression upon
the sovereignty of the States or, if the Gov
ernment undertook to raise troops by draft, he
might resist the same on the same ground as
has been dune in some of the Eastern Slates.
There is another objection losaidoa'h. The
law in question requires all attorneys to swear
that they will bear true faith and allegiance to
the Government of the United States. All
civilized governments require such oaths from
their citizens, and their right to do so has never
been questioned by any one, and any person
who enjoys the privileges of a citizen should be
willing to take such an oaih ; but even this
requirement of the law is taken with a qualifi
cation, namely : ‘‘in all constitutional acts”—
he makes himself the judge as to the constitu
tionality of the acts of faith and allegiance
required of him.
1 now come to the oath of J. E. X. Lewis.
Said oath follows the law except the last clause,
and therein adds the following qualification :
“unless the interpretation hereinafter given is a
qualification or mental reservation of the duties
and allegations imposed by the same, and this
affiant gives and grants to the foregoing the
construction, and contends that the same is the
true legal meaning and construction of the form
of the oaths imposed by said Act." And then
follows an interpretation of said oath which in
many instances is the very reverse of the mean
ing of the oath required by said law. and con
tains many of the doctrines held by those in
rebellion against the Government.
I am therefore of opinion that L. C. Granger
and J. E. X. Lewis, practicing attorneys at
this bar, have not taken the oath required by
law. The taking of an oath to support Jeff.
Davis or Napoleon would come as near a com
pliance with the law as the oaths submitted to
me. S. ROSEX'BAUM,
District Attorney of Butte county.

Editors Union Record. Gentlemen—
Through the politeness of Dr Moore, County
Clerk, I have been furnished with certified co
py of the Report of the late Grand Jury, iu
which I find that I am reported as being in
default iu the paying over certain delinquent
taxes, in the sum of 3277 88-100. I here state
that a large portion of that amount never found
its way into my bands. And of the amount
therein charged there is two cases that now
remains unsettled, the defendants claiming
that there is an error in their taxes.
I state to citizens of Butte county that I
am willing, ami ask that all my official acts
shall be fully ventilated. Ido not s e-ek to
cover up or defraud any One. When mv ac
counts are fully allied in the various tax suits
now pending before me, I will make a full and
fair settlement of my alia: rs with the proper
officers, and if fo„nd to owe the county any
thing will pay it. My official record shows
that for the amount of business transacted be
fore me as Justice of the Peace, there never
was a Justices' Court cost the county less. I
make this statement in justice to myself. My
docket is at all times open for inspection.
Partu s who are circulating stories in rela
tion to me w aid do weli hereafter to be guar
ded iu their expressions, and if they mast taik
let them tell the truth.
