Tier It great lFirt being made just
now by one of Ihe cnndidntri fur public
printer to convict mother candidate fur lha
tamo office of having Le'-n mi abolitionist
in Masaaohusett. Iloth of I lie aspi
rant belong lo lha (111110 political puny.
und would both go fur any measure the
wa popular with those I Icy ar dependent
on for a support. Spoil and plunder con
alitute the polar star of all I heir -(irntioii
and whatever capital cm be wade by call
in; Leland hard numv, in order to prcju
dice the members of tLo next legislature
against hii claim, will be gree.ldy taken
huld of by hit competitor. Last winter lie
win slaughtered by tbii eamo competitor
by nuking a alimy aasaull on the diameter
of bin wifo. Although lha bait took with
the member of ihe Legislature, who en
Horned the slander by electing the pub
linherof it to office, and by trying lo re
ward wi'b in office the creature who penned
it at an amanuensis fur the publisher; the
people mnde wry face at it, although the
menibera of the black party all gulped it
down with evidence of dilil; simitar to
that exhibited by the young iniin who
swallawed a rotten egg at hi patron' tu
ble. The intimation was, they didn't tx
actly consider (he egg to be fresh, and
didn't want to (wallow another 0110 out of
the tame ocM, if they could wcl! got along
and keep up the black democratic o'jniiua
lion without it. It ia understood that 1
class of men have been elected lo the next
legislature having a littlo respect for do
coney, aod this fact uggcats alight
change in the kind of weapons to be used
in order to break down Lelimd in liisaspi
rations after the public printing.
The great cry now is, that "Leland was
u abolitionist."
Leland shouts back at the top of. his
voice, "I never waa an abolitionist !" Lo.
land does this under ihft conviction that
abolitionism la unpopular in Oregon. If
the emergency was not o great, nnd if the
Legislature) didn't inert for suiini month
yet, it would bo policy in him la change
bis tactics altogether. In that case, he
might have lime to lay before bis readers
the truo position his party now occupies in
the Slut en.
In opening hit campaign il would bepol
ley for him to come out with (he (laming
rnimeialion that "1 10.1 an abolitionist,
now what of that ?" Ho might thrn pro
ceed to show, that abolitionism and black
democracy are so near aliko that many of
the leader of tlio formor parly have fused
with tlio lutlor. In proof of this he could
instance the fact that tlio prosrnt ndmiuis.
trillion, in distributing cilices, showed
grent partiality, to the "Sofia" in New York,
to the exclusion of the "Hards," who de
nounced iho "Softs" ns "abolitionists."
Ho could 11'so point to lha Van Durum of
Now York, Applelonof Maine, lletij, F.
Hallnt of Massachusetts, Lovejny of the
same Slate, Selh 1'aino of Illinois, Maihcws
and Ward of Ohio, Josinh S. Lillleof Maine,
nnd a thousand other champions of black
democracy, who wcro lately classed among
the abolitionists, and some of whom ediicd
ubolition papers.
As tlio cenlnr star of this bright galaxy of
worthies, might bo placed the namo of Jas.
Hui hanun, a man who in 1S40 was a strong
friend of the Missouri Compromise, which
h Congressional legislation excluded shi
very from Kansas. Ho waa then opposed
to the introduction of tlavcry, into all let.
ritory north of the compromise line. Now
mark it; iu IS'iO men in Kansas are im
prisoned, hung, shot down and scalped, as
nlolitionists,for occupying the same ground
precisely that Buchanan, J'ierce, and Doug
las occupied only a short time ago !
Il'theso men arc abolitionist now, Pierce,
Douglas, and lluchannn wro abolitionists
Mr 11. Another pniui he might tuko to show
the identity of the two churches :
The abolitionists and black democrats
me both violently opposed to the Compro
mise uteusure. The bolitiouits have al
ways opposed it from principle, saying it
-conceived in sin anil stiapen in nnq.
uily," and was a gross wrong, besides be
ing unconstitutional,
Tho black democracy oppose il finm pol
icy, hoping to buy over the South to their
aupporl, and carry Ihe Northern abolition
ists giving the same reasons as above, thai
it was "conceived in sin and thapen in in
iquity, nnd was a gro wrong, besides bo
ing unconstitutional." This Compromise
question, which ha opened up the slavery
agitation and threatened to rend the Union
nmiuder, is now the great issue between the
jacobin disorganized on the upe tido, and
the conservative Compromise Republican
011 the other. Opposition to the Compro
mise, is the main plank in the platform nf
the sham democracy, as also in thai of ihe
abdiiiionists. Thrn of course ihe two par
ties are really identical, and tbi easilv,
accounts for the fact that so many of the
abolition leaders are in the same boat with
IJuchanan. F.very man of sense know
ihcee things to be facts. Then why is it,
that these diminutive editors take o much
j.ains "o clear their skirts of the taint ofab.
oiilionismf The party is now led by ren
egade ' Federalists' Vd iine Wh'gV'and
apostate 'abolitionist.'
H'e l.ar the u!j"cf, by k'ndly mg-
grating to some of thrae editors a change
of tactics. Acknowledge that yon are rto
egade Whigs, and apostate ebolilloiiisie,
and see if you don't walk into the emclioii
of your party, so as to git p'omotej.
Tha Party lti T Fact.
We find iu two Buchanan organs, one a
Northern and Ihe older a Southern paper,
two antipodal paragraphs, which beauti
fully illuatrate the two Ac of the aham
democratic parly. The following I from
the Vick.buu (Mia.) Sentinel i il i da
guerreotype of the face that ia turned lo
ward where the sun stands at noon, and is
of course badly sunburnt, if not entirely
black :
'We dar a no' defy anv one lo point to a
single vot flint Mr. Ilinlianau ever gave,
during hi Congressional carter, involving
the question of slavery, that was not on
the aide of lha &ulh, and opposed lo (be
Ibe Abolitionist'
The Richmond Inquirer! the organ
which lake a true, honest daguerreotype
of this face, and holds it up boattingly lo
ihe North, by no means ashamed of its
appearance, but on the contrary thieks il
e many lineament winch prove Dial
black democracy, instead of ''being born
from beiiratli," ia of a ditiuo origin and
fell from Heaven.
Hut hero is a daguerreotype of il Nor
thrrn fate, which we clip from the I'rovi
deuce (Rhode Island) Tost, another Lucb
anan orenn :
"Mr. IJuchanan never uttered a sen'
lenco in deli-use of slavery, or whispered
a word in favor of ils existence, or cast a
vote which any honest man could construe
into a wish to support the institution !"
This face of course is less sunburnt than
the other, and passe for while. It is said
to be mad of dough. It has some very
ugly stripe down it, which some Account
for from the fact that il has been "unwinh
ed a trood winie. Ut lers think 11 is ow
iug lo the fact that the wheal from which
tlio dough came waa largely mixed with
"cheat," Laving grown on very poor
"Wheal land."
Tho editor of the Washington Union is
the artist who draws tlio portrait of this
face ; and in trying to paint it black enough
to compuro favorably with the one token
by tho Richmond Enquiror, it has received
from tho American Organ the very appro
priate name ol "South-guller."
How tu t'eatmlvanla alrdl
The following, which we clip from ihe
American Organ, gives a specimen of
shrewd political ciphering. The rcault of
the election in I'cnnsylvana will knock his
row of figures inlo;:
In 1851 Pollock received the American and
Whigvi.tu, l!04,(l0d
liigler received, including all tLo
lorcignvo'.c, 107,001
Majority for Pollock, 37,007
In the coming Presidential election, the
orrign voto will be divided, uhieh has
hitherto gono solid for tho lJeiimcratio par
ly J that vole is at l.-asi (iO.Oiltl in IVnii.
ylvania, the half of which will nroliahlv
vole for Mr. Fremont ; now lake 30,0(1(1 of
the foreijm Vota from Mr. ISiirlrrV vote.
and il leaves but 137,0(1(1 votes for Mr.
liiichanan to start with. Sunnoso ho miU
3,000 of tho old Whig vote which went
for Pollock, that would bring him up to
140,0110, and rrduce Mr. Pollock's voto to
201,0011. Aow, pivo Mr. Fremont 0110
lilih, or 40,000, of the Whig and Ameri
can vote which went for Mr. Pollock, and
tho result would thou stand thus :
Itiichiinan, 1 10,000
..Fillmore, 101,000
r l'Vomniit, 70,000
Now, in the opinion of a "Webster
Whig," in tho Philadelphia News, this rs
liniiito ia loo favorable to .Mr. I!uehanail
for he believes Unit Fremont will g,.t more
than 30,001) Democratic votes. If w0 til
low him&O.OOJ Drmocralio voles, it will
briii); his vote up lo 00,0110, reduce Itiich
anan's to 1 1 0,000, and leave Mr. Fillmore's
101,000 as before.
Now, with ihe permission ol thn Organ,
(and the Washington Union of course,) we
propose to cipher a littlo otirself.
Wo begin by taking another ".0,000 oil"
of litichunun's pile, mid lidding it to Fre
mont's vole, which brings Fremont vp to
00,000 and brings ISuuhanan ifWn to lvJO,
000. We now proceed to tuko 01,000
from Filliiioro's voto and add il to thut of
Fremont, which will bring Fremont up to
lol.OOlland Fillmore down to 100,000.
Uy the permission of the samo gentlemen,
we will just here add the voto of 70,000
Quakers, who didn't voto in 1S.")4, to the
voto of Fremont. Our figures then stand
this way :
Huchaniiu, 120,000
Fillmore, 100,000
Total,
Fremont,
220,000
221,000
Fremont's mnj. over lwth, 1,000
ProKt-rsstau.
The Salem organ of black democracy
selects nn article thi week, giving nn in
stance whore a w hito woman had married
a full-blooded negro, and showing thai she
had done better than her sister who mar
ried a Fremont man.
This is dipping a little further into polyg
amy, than the most ultra abolitionist would
dare go. It ia designed to piepare the way
for a Union of polygamy abolitionists with
llio sham democracy. The argument is
that a woman in order to be respectable,
ought never 10 marry a Fremont man, but
either a full blooded nejro or a black dem.
ecrat.

with a "r Aeoi": if its editor had one,

KUrHei Ikt IsUbfak
Soma time aince we saw it announced iu
the Kasiern paper that ihe nucleus of of.
Acial at Washington had unt circular to
many of the J'ny "tmater, all over
ihe Union, requiting ihnii 10 send in ihe
iiamsof all the foieiner living wiihin
iheir delivery, and aot.iii lln iu in inon
ey certain per centum on their aalarie,
by way of raising a fund to purchase
Ruchauun documeiiU for distribution
among the people. This r at ail pro
nounced a forgery by tho lluchanan nun.
In the Naiclnz (Mis) Courier w
now find letter from I'. I,, llruinblctt,
for many years postmaster at Liberty, iu
thai State.
Mr. Uramblett say:
'I have not vrl vno'T) name of ihe
foreigner, in ihi vicinity, ut lately reoui
red : nor did 1 think that I could afford to
set aside a portion of Ihe small income of
llio cRice, to assist In sending Democratic
document to them. Whether such In
struction were ever issued from tho IW
office Department or nol.obe thing is cer
tain, ihe menace accompanying the refu
sal hit certainly fallen upon me the
threut that itfson non-compliance w ith the
order I would ho removed, La certainly
been executed."
The amount of treasury fund this ad
ministration has expended in electioneering
purposes would be hard lo como at. Per.
hap those poiimaslvra in Oregon whom
Czapkay'a hand organ accuses of steuling
money from the mails, contributed it to
the IJuchanan fund.
Roads.
We understand that a road was laid out
from Canemah up llio river, nnd intersect
ing the old road somewhere near TarroH's,
a year or more since, and some person waa
appointed a supervisor, whose duty it
was to open and work the road. Why ho
ha done nothing we are not able to learn.
The ground it said lo be such that an ex
cellent road can easily be made overground
comparatively level. This road would ob
viate the necessity of ascending the terri
ble hill learns are now obliged to climb in
order to get out of the Con von." This
road ought to be looked after by some
body, and we invite tho particular attention
to it of tho Supervisor. If Lo is the
"stumbling block" in ihe way of ils com
pletion, we beg of bim to g?t out of the
way, and let somebody be appointed who
is willing lo do something for Lit country.
This road ought lo bo completed, nnd a
freo bridge cslabli.shrd on Pudding river,
where wo now Lave a toll bridge. This
being done, much of tho up country trav
el, which now goes to Portland on the new
road by lUion's ferry, would bo turned
this way.
Our merchants are beginning to teethe
noccsaily of selling at reduced prices, in
order to draw (he up country trndo. Many
oplulmvo lately dono their trading here,
on their return from Portland, giving as a
reason that goods could actually be bought
cheaper hero than ihcy could below. Let
our merchants see lo it that facilities are
provided so that people can get here, and
lot goods be ollervd at such prices that it
will pay a mini to stop here, und n new im
petus will bo given lo tho trade of our city
Lot us have ibe Tualatin improvement,
and good roads on this side of the river,
and Oregon City will begin to crawl out of
its shell.
Another uoi line VhlgM Turned up.
We have frequently had occasion to no
tice that the sham democracy had received
accessions lo their ranks, in tho support of
rcnegudo abolitionists nnd black cockade
federalists, who have been introduced to
the fellowship of tlio spoils party under the
cognomen of "old line Whigs." These
'old lino Whigs" nre generally of a mer
cenary character, and crmpose the "baser
orl" of cither tho old AVhig or abolition
parties. An offico is tho quid pro quo
which they always claim for their treach
ery ; hence the sectional democracy are
now entirely ruled in many districts by
these apostates.
In order to "appease tlio wrath of Ju
no," ond "givo Iho Devil his due," the
black democracy in the first congressional
district in .Maine run Josiah S. Little, nn old
"federal abolition Whig," for Congros,
against John M. Wood, the Republican
candidate. Now this tamo Litile was
brought out for Congress by the "old line
Whigs" of Maino in 15-13, and wus sup
ported also as the abolition candidate.
Tho Eastern Argus, which now supports
Little as the lluchannn candidate, in speak
ing of him in 1810 used the following lan
guage :
"In vain we look, in this vicinity, for any
proof of his enterprise or activity, except
iu his untiring zeal and unwearied efforts
to secure his election personally, and
through the labors of the hungry oflice beg
L'ars n ho go and come at his nod and beck
to talk of his clever virtues, and if possible
cheat the nliolitiomsts into his support."
Jr7M 0 September 7M, 1840.
In the same article from which the above
is taken, the A rgua says :
"Our limits forbid further remarks at
present, but we may again recur to it in
'duo time.' In the meantime, let the vo
ters of this district remember that the
grand question which they are called upon
lodecido is, w hether they prefer an hon
est, straight forward, whole-souled Demo
crat to represent them, or one whose origin
was among the blue lights of Old Federal
Massachusetts, and whose political noton
ety oonsists in having long been a street
hanger on and caucus declaiincr against
I democratic mt n and Democratic measures.
Thi is the real ksue, aod let it be remem
bered AT THE TOLLS."
That he was alto the favorite of the abo-
litioiiistt. or Liberty party ."i Io ahown
from tho following extract from tho Ar

"Our neighbor know a well a any one

Argus of September ulh, 1 8 10,
The '-liberty loving operuliuin 011 the
Aroostook" referred lo was a charge tho
democrats made against him of trying lo
force laboring lumbermen, who wero de
pendent on Liu for employment, to vote
the Federal ticket, contrary to their wish
ca. llio Argua paraded aiiiduvus uciore
the public made by ihcae poor laborers, to
prove this. Thit aristocratic despot hat
at lust found genial society among those
w ho support a man in shooting down Irish
waiters, in Langing free luborers in Kansas
for daring to cxerciso the privilege of vole-
in! according to their consciences ; nnd
some of the presses of which denounce la
boring men, aa "greasy mechanics, filthy
oieratires, and small fisted farmers."
Well, "birds of a feather flock together,"
and ihe sham democracy has become deci
dedly rich, from its large accession of
"Homing political excrement" from the old
lino Whig and abolition parlies.
We dismiss the subject by giving the fol
lowing pathetic nppeal made by the Argus
just before llio election of 1840 :
"Democrats of Cumberland we earnest
ly appeal to you to save yourselves from
disgrace. Would you not hang your heads
with shame and mortification, to see the
f.-.lernl candidate, Mr. Little elected ?
Ha he ever done anything 10 deserve nn

t.naUing."
At different times during tho last two
years some of tho papers in this country
have devoted considerable space to the sub
ject of "ratling." Uy iho word as under
stood among printers in Oregon is meant
underbidding. For instance, when iho Ad-'
vocato was put nt SdiO, the Portland pa
pers (two of them nt least) were down on
il for "ratling." Tho Standard was for a
long timo tho butt of ridicule on account of J
having committed this same unpardonable, :
sin. Ths Times Las now "ratted" down
to a very low price, with a fair prospect of
coming lower. Tho Standard nnd Czap
kay'a organ have also proven each other
to bo guilty of "ratting" for advertising.
As lo ourself, wo have never yet been
able to see tho force of thissilly war about
"ratling." Printers nre liko all other scn
siblo meti: tbey put their papers nt jusl
such prices as they please, nnd the peoplo
tako such papers as they happen to want.
Decauso one man sells wheat at a dollar a
bushel, while some of Lis neighbors ask a
thin! more, no wheat buyer thinks of avoid
ing him ns a "rnt," and paying nn exorbi
taut price to others, when he can get it on
more reasonable terms. This talk about
"ratling" might do if nobody read tho pa
pers but a few brainless city soaplocks; but
wo imagine that our sensible farmers will
not bo much interested in it, or that ihey
will fall out with a paper because the price
has been reduced. Tho object of a pub
lisher ought to be to make a good paper,
one thai will be useful, and then to put il at
os low a ruto as possible, in order to place
it within the reach of all, rich and poor.
The fact is, however, that a newspaper
reader, or an intelligent man, will have a
paper, no matter what the price may bo.
Some turn would not patronize a paper at
any price, if they had to pay for it. This
latter class are invariably great critics,
grumblers, and faultfinders ; always falling
out with the paper they borrow or steal
from I heir neighbors, and incessantly talk
ing about "starting a new paper." Tlio
"new paper" being started, and conducted
according to their extreme notions ol
things, these "grannies" would be willing
lo patronize it, provided they could get it
for about one dollar a year on tick, or pay
for it in dicker. We havo a few of that kind
of gentry in mind. They are a nuisance
to any cause especially when they try
to lead j as they generally wish to do.
California Election.
The steamer now due will bring the new
from the California election. Politics are
so "miL'htily mixed" in this State that it is
extremely hard lo form a rational conclu
sion as lo the result. If the election had
been delayed another mouth we believe
Fremont would have carried it, whereas
we now incline to the opinion that Buchan
an w ill get the electoral vote ; but we
shall not be at all surprised at the success
of either of the other candidates in that
Slate.
The C. Family.
Sometime in the year of fifty or fifty -one,
if we remember right, Cznpkay's hand or-
gan boasted that it Lad the names of rim
of the Cox family on its books, who all
texjk their papers at one office. In looking
over those books note, one might exclaim
in the language of Scripture, Where are
ike nine
Htrllowal rrnKtal.
In conversation with one of the most
Intelligent Buchanan men In ihit city last
weok, he urged that Fremout we a "aee
tional candidate," from the fact that the
Fremont club carried flag with only tlx
teen stars, representing the sixteen North-
rrnStutet, a also from the fact that rre
mont and Dayton were both from Northern
Slates,
We didn't suppose before that there wo
a man in Oregon o pooily posted aa to
make audi a silly statement. In reference
to tho number of star on the Fremont
flags, we gave it a flat denial, and chal
lenged him to produce ihe proof, which he
of courso was unable lodo. In answer to
tho other charge, we asked him if this was
iho first lime candidate for President and
Vice President hud been run, who both
hailed from either the Northern or South
ern "section" of the Uuion. He tuid yea,
Le thought to.
This has suggested to us the importance
of attending more to first principles, nnd
explaining things that wo thought every
body understood ; nnd for ihe benefit of
ull such weak brethren we present the fact
that no less than eight timet since the for
mation of our Government have these
"sectional" candidates been run. 'When
Jackson of Tennessee and Calhoun of S.
Carolina were elected at President and
Vice President in 1829, nobody wastimplo
enough to call It a "sretinnal" ticket be
cause both candidates icere from the South.
We ask these grannies of sectionalism

who have been run at dilicrent periods :

ir. L. Adams Sir : As you are said
to be able to solve philosophical riddles,
and answer - hard questions sometimes, I
wish to ask the reason of the result of an
experiment I made not long since. Two
steamers ago I sent a box of specimen ap.
pies, all of the Esopus Spitzenburg variety,
to a friend at Stockton, California. The
apples were all carefully wrapped in news,
papers ; one lot in the Standard, another
lot in the Argus, and another lot in the
Statesman. Hy a note from my friend, I
learn that those wrapped in the Standard
were only in a tolerable state of preserva
tion, many of them had begun to rot. Those
sent in the Argus were all perfectly sound,
while those wrapped in the Statesman,
.were all rotten. This wonderful phenom
ena is ahead of me. Can you give us any
light! Warkoke.
. 0" W'e thought at first you must be
joking, and consequently threw your note
under the table ; but, upon reflection, we
think that a paper, which a man could n t
come in contact with, without becoming
"rotten," would most likely "rot" an apple.
Hence we have given you a serious an
swer. 5T Ex-Gov. Gaines paid us a visit on
last Tuesday. He is in fine health, and re
joices in the conviction that Fremont is
elected President.
