The Standard, which in now looked up to an llio luatliug orguit of nutioiisil tlemoc racy in Oregon, ban at length fully slipped Into tho ' warnuf -colored brecclie of tlio defunct OixluYntitl, and admits Hint tho dctnocrutio party Is a sectional one, a purly whoso grcut mission is to extend slavery and curti'd tho area of freedom. It ifwoo of last Wcdiicaluy contain a lengthy arti clo in which tho plain truth in told that the democratic (Administration) party is de termined to keep Kansas and Oregon out of tho Uutou as lung as possible, because Kansas refused to adopt a pro-blavcry con stitution. In reiterating tlio sentiments of the Waahingtoa Union and tho Cro-iating or gans South, tho Standard says: " Kansas must be content to remain a Territory until she can safely estimate her population at (13,420, and this limit be within the succeeding two years; for in I860 another census is to bo taken, fol lowed by another representative apportion ment, which will reqniro somewhat more than 120,000 population to entitle any Territory to admission as a State. " Kiucu tho adjournment of Congress it bas been no secret that Oregon is placed in tho sains category with Kansas iu regard to her admission. Had that Territory ac cepted tho Lecompton Constitution with tho English addition, Oregon would have tood a favorable chance of becoming one of tho United States at. tho approaching session of Congress. liut Kaasiw rejected that Constitution by an overwhelming vote, nd linked as Oregon is with her ilestiuy, neither can hopo under any contingency to enter tho galaxy of sovereignties for some jours to come.", So then Kunsns ' must lo content to re main a Territory' until she has n population of ninety-threo thousand, or in all probabil ity a hundred and twenty thousand, and so must Oregon, because tho democratic party is in power, and tho democratic party has declared that if Kansas chooses lo adopt a slave constitution she can come into the Un ion with h:r present population, but if she jprcfirsa free constitution she must stay out till shs has 1 2,000 inhabitants, unless she can augment her population to over ninety threo thousand beforo 18G0, and as the democratic party has linked tho futo of Or egon with that of Kansas, we must patient ly bido our time till the firo-catera tako their hook fom tho nose of the party and permit Northern dirt-eating democrats to vote for the admission of another free State. Tho injustice of such a policy ought to bo appnrent to even an honorable fire-eater to a dirt-cater we expect nothing to be very apparent but the ' pay.' That this policy has been dictated by a conviction of the great ucccsssity of making a desperate strugglo to keep up the democratic party by crushing out tho element that is always operativo iu free labor society in fostering art, sciences, and internal Improvements at homo, and in directing the public eye to new fields for Anglo-Saxon enterprise, by bringing tho wholo power of tho Govern ment to bear upon the loatliesome carcass of slavery iu order to drag it upon every inch of American soil is apparent from the fol lowing: "As the caso stands, taking it upon a political view, tho dominant party in the u n io a can gam nothing by tho admission oi uregon wineii it migiit not luivo more 'than counterbalanced by ndmittimr Kansas Tho great Presidential contewt of lSfit) will surely bo a triul between tho two powerful -1- T , 11. . .. rivals iemoeracy aim ivCpiiDiieamsm." Then, as tho ' national democracy' can gam notning' ny tne admission ot a nee State, the Standard hasn't a word of disap probation of the injustice and mcnnjiess of the party in thus showing its partiality for Africanization, but gets down on its ninr-row-boncs, and looks through the gauntlet rim by driven niggers under tho lash, to 'the great Presidential contest of 1SG0J In excusing the party for this course the Standard unwittingly acknowledges that " tho vexed debates and Inteiiso excite ment had within the past year have lmitcri- ally weakened Democratic ranks iu several of tho Northern and Western States, let politicians attempt to disguise the fact as .they may." Yes, it is truo that in the Northern nud Western States whero ' vexed debates' are tolerated upon great issues the result will always . be a ' material weakening of the democratic ranks,' heneo tho great anxiety of modern democrats to crush out the free dom of speech and the press by slave con stitutions. Debates are looked upon bv them as decidedly 'vexed' articles, and they find it much easier to control the rank ami file by tho fanatical influence of party names than by sober facts and arguments. Hero is the truo democratic policy con tained in a nutshell: "Northern States nro gradually increas ing in Republican strength, and of this Southern Democrats oro well aware and justly fearful. Tiiey have but one remedy, but ouo policy to prevent complete over throw from this source in tho next Presi dential contest. This is the rejection of every petition for admission sought by newly-formed States which have repudiated sla very in their constitutions. That Southern Members of Congress will uot oppose the admission of free States iu every instance presented whero there is any lawful objec tion that can be urged against the right of admission, is too prrostcrotH for kluf. Fealty to their constituencies would oblige them to do so, if they were personally oth erwise inclined.'' It is ft little strange ton that while Southern democrat is Justified in voting against tho udinhsion of Oregon and Kan Has as free States on the ground of but 'frui ty to his cntwtitii'mN,' o Northern doagh faco is looked upua ns having no ' fully to his constituents' that would inm-Iudu him from betraying their interests and acting ns a tool to do the bchetft of tho fire-cuUr.V 'constituents'! , ; . In speaking of Douglas, lJroderick, and the Anti-Leeompton democracy, tho Stand ard Mys: "" It Is safe to predict that not one of thews recusants will return to the Demo cratic fold, and if they were possessed of siiflicii ut inllii'Miee to procure nominations and secure elections some little while ago, it is equally certain to prophecy that they ure enabled to work serious injury to our party in elections to come." We supposo that if Douglas und his friends do as tho Republicans of Oregon did last spring help elect tho fuglemen of 'our party' to office they will bo wel comed back to tho 'democratic fold.' Tho Standard tukes its cue from tho Washington Union, and thus reiterates tho op'n'on of tho Administration organ at Washington concerning Douglas: "The distinguished Senator has exhibit ed eccentricity of political conduct on more than one occasion, and is evideutly posses cu oi an uuiuii.ou us iTnuic in n is iony. He seems to strive for success more than for riijlit: to achieve eclat through fantastic novelties, rather than to merit honor thro' noblo works in thorough statesmanship.'' Before Douglas bolted the Lecompton scheme tho whole democratic press vied with each other in loading him with the most sickening praise, as such a firm, con sistent democrat and great statesman, that tho party generally had got to look upon him as something more than human, but now that he has dono an honorable act in defending the rights of the people of Kau- sas, he is ' eccentric,' 1 possessed of a lofty ambition,' ic. To show that tho Standard is entirely sound on the goose, and reiterates the sen timents of the firc-eutcrs upon the demo cratic Kansas policy, wo clip tho following from the Mobile (Ala.) Register of Au gust 4th: " It will be , remembered that by the terms ot the Conference Act it is provided, that in case the people of Kansas accept the proposition submitted to them by the act, and thus incidentally ratify the Le compton Constitution, Kansas it by the fact admitted ns a State with her present population ; but in the event of their re jection of the proposition, Kansas is to re main n territory until she has the requisite population to entitle her to a Representa tive in Congress. This constituted tho compromise. If Kansas was not to come in under the Lecompton Constitution as a slavo fetatc, the south was to be comvenset ltd by keeping her out as a free Slate for an indefinite number of years. Wo would liko to cjk the Republicans of Oregon, as well as such free Stato.' nation als' us havo anything better than a gizzard in their stomachs, whether they aro to be again harnessed into a cart freighted with such dnmnablo toryism nnd sectional fanat icism merely 'to heat Bush' ? Doctors Difkerino. Tho two ' nation al' organs nt Portland are having a terriblo time of it on Judaism. Ono of them has hud tho indiscretion to pitch into the Jews much as Don Quixotte pitched into the windmill, denouncing them as a clannish, rascally people, who oro desirous of sap ping the very foundation of American lib- erty, because they refused lo vole fur the ed itor, and some of them don't ic inl to take his paper ! Upon this the leading organ comes to the rescue by devoting a whole column to whitewashing tho circumcision as a nation, in order to save a few votes by salving over tho wound made by tho scim- etnr of its indiscreet coadjutor. The sub ject is well worthy the steel of theso 'na tional' scribes, and wo presume their party will not suffer much so lung as tho one ap plies 'Jew David's duster' to every sub ject circumcised by the other's sciinctar. Pomoi.ocical Convention. Tho Ore gon Farmer proposes that a pomologieal convention be he'd nt Salem October 20th. We havo heard of several unsuccessful at tempts to get up a convcution of this kind. Tho project meets tho approval of fruit growers so far ns wo havo heard them ex press themselves, and wo advise them to start the ball by meeting at tho time and place suggested by the Farmer. jfcjjy Wc nro indebted to Andrew Post, Esq., of tho Oregon City Book Store, for a beautifully-bound copy of Ossiau's Poems, a work of which riuiiio wrote to Dr. Blair, when MePhcrson first brought tho poems to light, as " ono of the greatest curiosities, in all respects, that ever was discovered in tho commonwealth of letters." Among tho fino selection of books at Mr. IV.t's establishment, wo notice the poetic works of Bums, Uyron, Crabbe, Cowpcr, Coleridge, Croly, Campbell, Collins, David son, Goldsmith, Hemans, Howitt, Cook niulLandon, Kirko White, Moore, Milton, Young, Montgomery, Ossiau, Pope, Scott, Shakspeare, Shelley, Tapper, ' Thomson. and Pollock, Wordsworth, and some others. Tho books nro beautifully bound, nnd are sold nt New York city retail prices. 1ST One of tho 'hards,' who voted the whole dirt-eating ticket without making scratch, told us with a rueful countenance that Bacon the Republican candidate for Sheriff in this county onght to have been elected. We told them so before the elec tion, but the dirt-eaters thought it was necessary to ' save the Union,' bo they vo ted the bard taint . . . - " .

As it is one of the very fiw attempts ever made by the agent at un argument, we give the cream of It. Tho wholo thing, it will be seen, has the ear-marks of origiuulity, and was got up at home', Instead of being stolen from the Albany Kveulng Journal. Take the following sample: " Ami as tho iirlncliile uikmi which a prohibitory liuwir luw is itviimndi.il i on which will admit of very general application, perhaps w may eapeel, M Mm eilvoeatce ul litis measure auccei-u m curry ing il through, lo bav lawa prooartl fir Ilia aup uression of liut bscuit. which Ira considered an- liulaauina by medical men, ur fur the abolition of pork, because the hnlMiml una oi mi pom lasaui 10 be iiijunoiu Iu lieullh, or lo pruli.bil Ilia uia oi ten, collet and tubaeco. which very many person be lieve to be pruluoliva of various rleahy ilia.

Here tho article might have closed, but for a terriblo gri ping caused by poisoned whisky just ns this model democrat luys down his cn and stretches himself up with nn inflated idea of a sort of " Sal,-didu't-wc-givc-it-to-'cm, though" importance. The griping suggests that tho vulyect isn't finished, and that perhaps a prohibitory law touching drugged whisky would be a fino tliinjr ono " we 0 . would like to sec." Hear him: " We would a!w liko to are a law enacta d, mnk inir It a criminal oueiiae lo manufacture or kuow- iuu'ly sell any diugjetl and adulti-raled liquor of any kind wliutwievrr.

The 'genuine article' is very shrewdly slipped in with ' tea, coffee, tobacco, and fat H)rk' as alike harmless, aud this whisky suckimr sniveler begs tho Legislature not to meddle with the ' genuine article,' because that while many fanatics look upon it as well as tea, coffee, tobacco, and fat pork as injurious, experience shows that so far from killing pcoplo, many use them with impu nity, and even fatten on them. Well, don't some of the Orientals fatten on the constant use of arsenic f If it agrees with a Hindoo, why may it not with a Greaser ? and if arsenic is wholesome raw, why may it not be beneficially mixed with the ''gen uine article' ? nnd if being mixed with the 1 genuine article' it agrees with the consti tution of a uirgc minority of tho democrats, what right has Czapkay's agent to interfere in favor of a law taking away from his brother democrats tho ' inalienable right' to eat and drink what agrees with them ? If a Dutchman finds the flavor and force of his lager improved by throwing in n cabbage-head and na old pair of boots, whoso business is it ? nnd if a whisky seller becomes honestly imbued from long experience with tho conviction that, in stead of the 1 vitriol, strychnine, and log wood,' it's the 'genuine article' that . . ' flashes up in the ruffian's head. Till the filthy by-luuo rinjp with the yell of the lram.lcd wife,' and that tho more drugs and the less of the ' genuine article' ho drinks himself and sells to his customers, the better, what business has tho agent to attempt to lay hold of a laudublo traffic with the strong arm of the Jaw, merely becauso drugged liquors gripe him) , Perhaps, after all, it's the iHp?7)er ate uso of theso drugged liquors that Is gnawing liko a fiery worm at tho vitnls of the agent, and if ho would use them tern peratcly, as others do, nnd as women use 'tea and coffee' and a Missonrian uses 'pork,' it would ogree with him; tho opin ion of the. anti-' hot-biscuit' doctors to tho contrary notwithstanding. If so, why not have a law to 'regulate' tho drugged-whis-ky business ? cither 1 regulate' tho quan tity of poison put in, tho amount sold, or have a committee to ' regulate' the size of the dram taken by such weak simpletons as ' don't know enough to take care of themselves,' but who bring on the gripes by intemperance ? Will the Doctor's ngeut take this matter into consideration before the Legislature meets f It involves some grave ' constitutional' points. ' ' . Tub Koxkmx Ero's' Exit. The Standard in giving an account of the ' tre menjtis' enthusiasm which was stirred up among the m-asses at the departure of tho ' gentleman from Linn' for the U. S. Senate soys that the escort which conduct ed him to the boat at Portland consisted of ' an individual and another fellow all told.' 4aF" The ofliecrs went out this week to arrest Miles Kirk, the horse-thief who, with John Fleming, stole the horses from Holmes, but ho had fled. Mr. Whitney recovered a horse which had been stolen from the Dalles nnd sold by Kirk to Jlun- scy. lie also found that another stolen horse was running out with Kirk's horsesJ t There is a stage line in operation between Portland and Salem. The Stan dard says the stage leaves Portland Tues day, Thursday and Saturday, and Salem on the other week days. It goes through in a V. dar. PmiKK J.ui.. Washington Williums, who was In Jull in this city luld to answer to tho churgo of homo atcnllng, nnd the burning of Cunfield's house, und John Me Lotighliii, who was committed for flu us latilt with deadly weapons, both cscuped hist Friday night. The sheriff olTers a re ward of $!0 for either of them. The pris oners cHciix.'d by cutting dowu tho heavy irou door, through which their 'honest gnzu hud so often met the 'guxo' of bosom companions equally ' honest.' Some of these 'honest' outsiders furnished them with a crow-bar, coul chisel, hummer, and ouk lever, ull of which of course vent in at the door when open, as it would have been impossible to slip them between tho grat ings. We visited tho jail after tho flight of tho prisoners, and, from the general ap jiearunec of things, concluded they had been furnished with neurly a full set of tools, as the Job they had done was a good ono even for a blacksmith. They left nothing be hind them, however, excepting the woodeu lever, a bottle of oil, a new razor, and the cutechlsm of tho M. E. Church (Williums had been a member). , ,' ' When It is recollected that only a few weeks ugo Campbell, who was in jail for larceny, walked out at the door in broad day while the jailor was giving them their meals, and a man sitting in the door all the time, it will not be wondered nt thut the tools should have been passed in under similur circumstances. Indeed, it is hardly to bo doubted thut a blacksmith could move his wholo establishment into tho jail whilo tho prisoners were at dinner, aud forge out several dozen horse shoes before our viiriluut (!) officuds would discover that a new shop hud been started. Al though this little job together with the Campbell affair will not cost the county less than $500, wo wero going to say that the County Commissioners would foot all tho bills without asking any questions.' Rut we will do them the justice to wait till we learo what action is taken upon those 'board bills,' lieforo we post the tax payers. P. S. McLoughlin was taken in Port land lust Wednesday, from whence- ho was brought up nnd lodged in jail in this city on Thursday. Ho gives the man's name who helped them out of jail, and says that Washington Williams was in Portland last Tuesday night. It i3 reported here that he was seen in Silvcrton last Sunday. We received a letter from Sheriff Holcomb da ted at Salem lust Tuesday, saying ho had as yet got no trace of hiin. I Fleming, otie of tho horse thieves we spoko of lust week as on his way back to the Dulles with a horse ho had stolen twice onco from Whitney at tho Dalles and tieu from Holmes of Polk was ar rested and is now confiucd at tho Dalles. Ho shot tho horse he had stolen after he crossed the mountains, in order to weaken the evidence against him. He has made a full confession, implicating pretty much tho same men as members of tho gang that Williams did. The fraternity mentioned by Williums all live on tho cast side of the Willamette. If he knows any on the other sido of tho river ho has uot revealed their names. There is a nest in tho forks of tho Sautiain. " Loxa Faces. Tho faces of tho Le compton democrats alias Sulcmites, or ' time-honored and reliable' men who have sustained Bush's Statesman, Lane's Times and Adams' Argus, have grown excruciat ingly long since tho arrival of the last mail. See the fiat of a free people against IJuch annu democracy, even in Kunsas," Slc. Portland Oregonian. This coupling tho Argns with Cznpkny's organ and tho Times, and the Rf publicans with tho Lecompton democracy, is about as 'legitimate' as the attempted 'coupling' that led to the detection of tho ' robber.' SG? Czapkay's organ publishes the re port of tho Oregon Annual Ctnfercnco of the Methodist Protestant church, saying that ' with one exception wo notice none of tho names of persoiis mentioned upon our subscription list.' - . No higher compliment could be paid to the morality (not to say anything of relig ion) of that body. The ' ouo exception' .proves the truth of tho old adage ' One black sheep in every flock.' iST Said a subscriber to ns the other day ' 1 took the paper when the ed itor was sparking his wife, nnd of all the most sickening things I ever saw, a news paper edited by a love-crncked editor is the worst.'
