Disorganization, confusion, and in surrection seem to have seized Laid of the masses, and multitudes who have hitherto been induced, either from the charm of a captivating name or the fear of the lash of some whipper-in, to Hupport the ' regular nominee' ever time it became necessary to elevate some aspiring demagogue to office, seem all at once to have been seized with a spirit of insubordination that threatens a future emancipation from the shackles of partyism. The honest farmer has perhaps for the first time in his life stopped his plow in the furrow, seated himself on the beam, and, after wiping the jMpirution from his brow, proceeded coolly to raiso the query iu hit own mind as to whether ' Democracy' didn't consist in something more than the name oud the hard-handed mechanic has laid hi hammer upon the anvil or his mal let upon the work-bench, to ask himself iu all honesty whether fealty to a party led by demagogues was patriotism, or whether despotism became really sanctified by being called Democracy. The angel or goddess of liberty lias gone down and troubled the "ilthy pool of K)litics," by stirring up with a sharp stick such unclean frogs us Lane und Delusion, bringing them to tho surfuce croaking for mercy, only to be pelted by thoso who have hitherto looked upon them ns ' big fish.' That there has been a new era inaugurated iu the history of politics of tins country we think that even Jo Lune, with all hiu stupidity, and Delusion, with the blindness of hiu egotism, ure uow learn ing In their fruitless efforts to delude the jtcoplc into the belief thut to tuke passage on the miserable craft of which Lnne is the figure head, Delusion the hull, und Dolfthe s tern, would bo to embark on a well-mounted, well-manned and officered Democratic hip on n cruise in defence of the Union mid As much of stolid ignorance and blind fa naticism as they have calculated on In In ducing the eople here to ratify the con tract Lane hat the impudence to Ml them he made with the Southern di.unionh.ts, pledging them the vote of Oregon for the next ten years as a condition of our adnns- siou into the Union, we think they will And in the result of this election that the people of Oregon are less stupid and deinugogue- riddcu than they had supposed. The effort made by the leaders of the sec tionalists to rally those who claim to be Dew ocrats to the support of Stout, is constantly driving voters over to the supjiort of the Republican candidate. The more the ma gieians stir the turbid waters of the " filthy lool of politics," the more apparent is it I) ti i.iks. There ore now two daily pa and Delusion Smith aft WW pew published in Tcrtland-the Daily Eve ng the State making speeches ning News, edited by E. D, Sluittuck, that there is on under current to (hit whole Jo Lane movement that was little under stood by the anti-Lane Democracy at the time they found themselves stranded high and dry at the Sulem convention. That Lane hud struck hands with the Southern fire-eaters at Washington, and pledged him self to scctioiiulize it and blacken it, so as to be acceptable to his Southern master, we were fully awure, and so stated last spring. We knew full well that the same causes thut have opera ted todivido, distract, and break down the Democracy all over the North, would ere long begin to operate here, whether Lane hustened the crisis or not. That the leaders of the Democratic pnrty arc Southern disunion sectional fa- iiatics, lineal descendants of the tories who infested South Carolina in the devolution men who are enemies of liuinun liberty, trui tors to their country, and who have acted ever since the accession movement that Jackson crushed in 2 with the steady purpose oi uiKsoivmg the t nion, or African izing this continent by crushing out popular sovereignly, trampling on Mine riglils, ami reviving the slavo trade, is a fact that is on ly to be understood to ensure the defeat of tlint parly in every Northern State. The North is loyal to the Union and utterly hostile to any movement that looks to an invasion of a single constitutional right of a Southern State. Hut when she sees South cm fanatics, few and feeble in i iIht, de manding the absolute control of the Gov ernment, executive, legislative, and judicial, in uruer m uivmc among incmseives an an nual revenue approueiiing a hundred mil lions, and to convert the Government into a despotic engine to force sluvery upon the Territories, as iu tho case of Kansas, or, fuiling to do that, to demand a Coti"ivs- sionul slave code establishing and protecting me iiisiuuuon mere, as Is now demanded iiy tlie leaders of the sectionulists South. besides trampling on State sovereignty by declaring an iree otuic constitutions as null ana void, as is held by their organ, the Wnsliinirton Union besides ilrm iimlimr n rcpeul of the laws against the slave trade, as has been urged by such fanatics as liurksdule, Jlitehcl, Adams, Dennett, Itiooks, Kcitt, Shorter, Walker, Wright, and other lending disunion Democrats and when these men become so blinded bv party i.ific uiiu wejr iriusc 10 vote lor the od' - ,k.

We give place to the above so that our foreign-bom citizens may know exuetly what Stout and O'Meara were driving at when they joined the Know Nothings to break down the Democratic party In Cali fornia, and what they would now be driv ing at provided the Know Nothings were in the ascendency. Uy tho way, the manner in which these worthies say they " tmvktd like Ihitvn in lite night into Iwlden, oul-nf tray haunts, to prosecute their dark designs," is a very good description of the way they crawled into the Byrne's Saloon caucus. After they emerged from the caucus and mingled with white men, wo noticed that " none but the initiated could distinguish a fellow- conspirator." sectionalism.

It is no doubt true that if Stout is elect ed there will be a heavy immigration of bro ken-down political blacklegs to Oregon immediately, l'ickett will probubly be back with a swarm of 'partners' lurgc on Stout's election.
