We hope the Day Hook will succeed in provinjr ihii proposition lo iho entire satis faction of those who ere supporting Buch nan on the etrength of Wito'i prediction, that if Buchanan i elected "good sound nig'r will be worth J.000 a head-" A the Day Tiook will probably havo but a lirnl'ed circulation in Oregon, wo beg the Portland Times to give ill reader the bene fit of a many r struct from this great orgnn of black democracy e possible, by way of Killing this important point, which bnrda, age, and politician have hitherto sought to understand in vain. We ol.o hope the Statesman will quote an item occasionally by way of nn ofTaet to in "loader" which il steal from abolition paper. As the whole platform of black democracy seems to have boon squccxed into a nutiln.ll, and narrowed down to the declaration that a "nigger ain't a white, man," we know ox ac'ly where to meet them, and wo shall nl- way be in tho legitimate lino of logical controversy by proving another proposition and that it "A poor whito man who la bors for a living isn't a nigger." So let tho black democracy, who wor ship "niggers" bcciuse they w ill probably be worth 93,000, and si rive lo degrade free whito laborer to the level of "niggers," uuderttand lhat tho issue in fairly nmdu up between us, and n hilo it is the solo province of modern duiuocrucy, to raise the price of niggors, and degrndo freo white laborers, ,V shall continuu in tho old fashioned dem- ocrulic tort of nay to plead the causo of tho hard. handed yeomanry of tho country, -who make their bread by their own honest toil.

Since tho Indians havo been removed from Rogue River, tlio citizen, many of them, havo gone to "prospecting" in the mines, in order to retrieve in a measure their lost fortunes.

An article appeared in our paper lest week over tho signature of U.K. I lines, w hich would have received some attention from us if wo had been at heme.

In or der to be doubly aiiro, and stato the ihinz ... jut as it was, we did not publish the ar ticle till our informant called at our sanc tum, rraj the manu script, and tail il teas allcorrccl. With this explanation, wo leave these brethren lo tlx tho matter up among themselves. Ai to ihe apology of Mr. II. for the Ad ocaie iu pull'ing tho present Administra tien, thiongll tlio New England correspon dent, ky saying that the correspondeiici might have been published on our oft boasted principle of "giving both sides," it looks to U ra her lame, whrn tho fact is known that the article was paruded before the public a from "our correspondent," without a word of dis,-nt fiom the senti ments of the ailicle, and lhat the paper has always happened, to far as o and others have noticed, to contain one-sidt-d articles purling black democracry, when the "other Ma" hat been carefully excluded.

The "Mary Ann of the Mexican war," our efficient (i) dtlrg.ite, has got his nose finally sowed lo the coat tail of thectiialrous Hrk, and by packing another challenge fiom HrwU to Uurlirgame of M.tta., he hat become so identified with the i!i"rceful conduct of Brooks that he bus little or no influence in Congre-s. Oar Jh-gte, iu becoming the Sancho Panxa of Brooks, ha committed an act w hich Id Oregon would consign him to the Penitentiary. Brook backed out of the fight because Campbell, the second of Builingsme, ieletted Canada ai the arena of conflict. Thi Rurlingame ob jected lo, and aid he would fight Brooks anywhere, even in South Carolina. When Brooks found a Massachutott man who wa willing to look down a pistol barrel, the coward no longer "tickied tullex." 1 Hbsrl tbaylcr f AetUsal. During our recent visil to I'olk county, with our better half and three little ones, we were blessed with about enough of what is commonly culled bad luck lo satis fv one poor editor for eecral months at ea-t j but perhaps no more than enough to make nn ofT.et for tho satisfaction we en joyed in seeing o many of our old friends. After various small mishap too trifling to mention, our buggy nag, a fine young mare we had that morning purchased of Dr. Warriner at Bethel, took fright at Unclo Sam' mail plunder, which came dashing along tho road on tho prairie south of La- fayette, lashed to a mule, and driven by a wild Oregonian. Our Bucephalus, after running a few hundred yards into iho prairie, concluded to try whnt virtue there was In kicking. Our dash board went first, both shaft soon followed, and away went nag, harness, shafts, and all, leaving the "whole family" laft-ly oatcd in the buggy, which served as a aort of "upper seat" in a circus, from which wo coolly surveyed our angry steed, "cavorting" and kicking, till it disappeared in the brush abont a milo distant. The mail carrier kindly rodo af ter nnd caught tho nag for us, nil right side up, save being minus one shaft and a pint of tho harncs. We mounted tho nag, nnd after riding two nvlcs, hired a team to I alio tho family and bugqy wreck to McMinnville, where, wilh tho assistance of it blacksmith, wagon and harness maker, we were soon ready for the balance of the h ip, nfirr going lo our claim and getting n getillo hore. On Saturday morning wo started for homo, bringingalonga two-horse wagon, to which wo worked our new nag and nnother fine mare. The wagon was loaded with provisions from the farm. All went smoothly on Saturday, but the day passed away, nnd wo found ourselves lev era! miles from iho city, enjoying tho hospi- lulities of Mw L. Vaughn. The next day we broko nn nxletree out of our wagon, l,somo five miles from the city, but by the kindness of Mr. Athev we wero enabled lo rig up nil ha borrowed one, nnd continue our journey home. On reaching Mr. Fields', opposito Canemah, he kiudly offer ed us his private, ferry boat to cross in. After crossing over the buggy and family, we went back for tho Iwo.horso team, driven by Mr. Dunning. Tho ferry boat was chained lo a stake, with a log chain. In driving on to iho boat, the fore wheels of tho wagon in striking it, by romo unac countable means unhooked tho chain frm iho staple in the bow ol the boat. The boat shoved o(T, with no body on board, except iho horses, which wero immediate ly dragged backwnrd by the loaded wagon, which sunk in deep water, nnd tho whole team went down together. Wo afterwards saved tho wagon nnd harness and most of tlio loading. Wo got homo wet at a drowned rat, minus $523, and thanking God that it was no worse.

Now nil this 'excclleiico' and 'Jcll'uisoiii anism' consihts solely in the fact of iho Dr.'a not being a democrat. That is iho main qualification he has, nnd the only ono the editor of the Argus enred about. And for I his alone he commends Superintendent Hedges. Capt. Hedges, is a democrat, and an 'Oregon Democrat,' as tho phrasu is sometimes snecringly used, nnd I don't think he values very much this very soft soap of the Arjius. I ihink he sees through its editor at a glance, and if ho is mado of the stufT, I think he is, we shall soon have that paper on tho other tack, and honoring him with ilj nlunc. Without any disparagement to Dr. Mo Bride, and I lliink ho is a very good citizen and a very clever man, I believe his ap pointment as physician would not bu 'hard to beat.' I hul j that in order for any man to bu a remarkable physician nnd surgeon, ho must first have a respectable education. I have heard of a somewhat curious notion which was posted up in the mines in Cali. forniain IHiO by Dr. McU.,nnd one of the members of iho Legislature of lSOO, now has hi report of lhat year ns Superintend ent of schools, and keeps it as a lit. ru ry curiosity. And if I am correctly informed Ihe Dr. resigned his seal in the Assembly because ho li It that he had not iho proper qualification for ihe place." The foregoing is published in the States man as correspondence from Yamhill, but was no doubt written by ono Chicoprt, who w rites many little squibs for tho Statesman in tho small back room kuown as the "consultation room," where tho "prophi laclicum" is dealt out lo the patrons of that sheet in "two bit doses." We have quo led the article for the purpose of giving ibis puff of ono of Oregon' best men a widr circulation than it has yet had iu Ctapkay't organ. The Statesman ia cor rect in a ing that the Dr. is "o a demo a at" in the sense of lhat sheet In the original sense of the word, in which we use il, he it a democrat. With m, a democrat ia one who respect the will of the sover eign people and labors for the public good. With the Siatesman, it is on who signed the '-Know Nothing petition," approved I of the murjerou assauk uton I.eUnd' wife, patronizes the me livfocs kept in the ....n..,l!ation room." and goc "our party blind-or, in hort phrase, a "democrat" with that paper means a "very dirty dog. The Dr. of course will be nappy io teain lhat Chick ha read him out of "our party. When ho tell u 'e,,on 8 co"1. mended Capt.

The Statesman boasted of the learning of the author of the Gardner memoriil, which we printed from a true copy of tho original in Washington, which contained some choico specimen, of King' English, which "rejoyced" the "intire" body of tho "par ti:en" "constituents" of the learned repre untotive who drew up the memorial.

While we wero writing in our sanctum last Thursday afternoon, some children who wero at play in a log house in rear of tho blacksmith shop near our office, ignited a match and threw it into a bunch of straw on iho floor, and ran into tho street crying firo. Tho log houso was enveloped in in flumes in a minulo or two, w hich soon communicated with tho blacksmith shop. Somo two hundred men were on tho ground in less than ten minutes. The engine was got to work just us the roof of the black smith shop was falling in, but did little or no good for want of a sufficiency of water. The wind which at first drove the Hemes nnd sparks in tbo direction of our office, and set the rear shed on (ire some two or three times, now changed, nnd enabled us lo protect Tho Argus building by means of water brought from adjacent wells. Our citizens all behaved valiantly on tho occasion, nnd have our thanks for the as sistance rendered. Water is the great de sideratum now in caso of a fire. If noth ing elso can bo done, wo would advise ev ery man to provide himself with a well or cistern on his premises, that will hold wa ter enough lo keep the engine at work for an hour at least. f.leelorat VoU-.

Fruin iho New York Il.iruld The New York Herald and the South. Since we l.avo taken an ii. frost in the present political resolution which is sweep ing like n tornado over the country, against all the old factions of the last twenty years, and favoring the dovclopemcut of new parties, new principle nnd new men. moro suitable to the times in which wo live, we havo received a great many notices from , eur contemporaries throughout ihe Union some of them not very complimentary iu many respects, but almost all of them ig norant, superficial ttnd shallow. Becauso wo inclined towards the revolution which is bearing the new man, Fremont, to tho White House, wo hnve been especially de nounced by the organs cf iho administra tion ns "treacherous to Buchanan and trea cherous to the Soui h." We have n'aobeiu. called by the Richmond Enqnirer, aid other shallow sheets ef iho same rmrty, by all the vile names common to tho io:ubu luries of the "giznrd-fjol" politicians of Virginia nnd tho like politicians of tho Five Pcinis of New York in tho present dny. Wo have said very little on the subject of these accusations und cared loss for l hem but wo find tho following e.ttr.-tct from u' New York paper in the Carotin Times, published' nt Columbia, South Carolini'P w ith some remarks of iho latter journal', which w-o think it well to place before our readers, with some explanations of our own ; From the New Yoik Day Hook Bunnell's Herald is fast losing subscri bers since Ihe uiiiv coun'nblo whim that carried it over to the black republican cause. Perhaps Mr. Bennett will seo the day when ho will repent that ho turned traitor to all his former professions, and rue tho time, when ho commenced nbusing the South und the democralio parly, lie may find that niggerism, though good for tho Tribune renders, will nauseate too many of the Herald's old subscribers to rnnko it . prolitab'o for him to administer. The dem ocrats have bill lo change their patronage from tho Herald to a paper of their own, and it will take, during tho next three months, ten thousand dollars out of his pocket. The following are the remarks of the South Carolina journal on the siibjecl : From IheSoulh Carol'na Times The opinion of iho "Day Book," ns ex pressed above, will reccne very little coun tenance in the South, and especially in South Carolina. Tho readers of the New York Herald will continue to patronize it, without nny regard to tho shifting or abo lition sentiments which may appear in its columns against tho institutions and peo ple of the Somh. The truth, is, wo have more abolitionists al heart residing in the South than most persons are aware of.
