What t a MiaiMtnaal We are often amuwd, when picking tip t!ia organa of klura-brfeediiig, at their criticism! upon Ilia qtialiuVntloni of Ha publicun caudiilutn. According lo lliesa ow-eyi-d critic, not one In firtjr of willed ha. ever nmntcrtd CoWt SpIliff hook, " Incutti in no atatcMiian." Pouglai, Iln ckinridjfp, Jo Lanu, and John Whila nkrr, arc, according lo IIm-m ncvi-rul wrib Wont, all "pur rrut jtutwincn." If Sew arJ liml bwu nominated at Chicago, and Polf Iluiinnli itt l'lmrlcton, llie New, Timna, Advertiser, .Si-r.tiiul, " Medina)," nnd all the other omulgtiinatlon organ In tiie State, would hare echoed a hearty rc m,,,,,.,. to a statement of the leading or, on fponse to a etutciiicnt of the leading organ (I'oon'i K.vprc) that Heward wa no Matcman, but tho Dtmocrati at Charh-a-ton had buipily a iiominutcd one of the gur-realtit atatcKinau of tho age a mull wIioho transcendent genius had never been eclipsed, and never could be, till ofu-f Dunio Nuturo bad 'pent a century or two in recuperating her energie, o much ex hntistcd In giving birth to Dolf. We recollect thut when Douglusnhoiked the niorul geiisibililiu of the nntion by nying in tho Senate, Dec. 9, 1857, " 1 ho.v't CiiiE whether Shivery ia voted up or voted down," one of the actional organ hero excused him by laying tlntt " Ioughi poke n a iluletinun, and not a a moiul hi." According to thiit authority, a "statesman" U a mini who cherishes the mobt perfect iudiirereiiee oi to the mull, when rijiht grapple with wrong a man who, when tho struggling clement of an expiring dcxpotisin cssiiy to throtllo human frcvduiii and place tho foot of a moneyed aristocracy upon the neck of while laborer; " nos'r cum" which party triuuiih in the conflict. Tho beau Ideal of a "statesman" with such authority, would bo ier1 person atcd by a Cumonche Indian hut tiller represented by a hog. According to that authority, the Oberliu amalgamation!! and Jo Laue urcui " stulesmuu." Now, according to our view, one essen tial qualification of a " dtiilesuiun" 1 an ubility to construct a )ilutforni for a politi cal parly, that shall take hold of the great popular heart iu mi enlightened country u party bused upon such living, vital, practical and beneficial principles us cannot fail to succied. According to that tiew, there hasn't been a " ttatesmuu" in the Democratic party, siuco the day that it sold itself to become t tin tool of threo hun dred thousand nigger capitalist, iu a God defying, hiunaiiiiy revolting, nud damning crusudu against thu " riyhli" of eight mill ion of laboring whilt men. According to thai view, Hanks, Chaso, Halo, Trumbull, Hamlin, and all the other " statesmen" in thu Democratic party, caino over to the Republicans the moment that tho pnpent were Innilo out ninl hutidcJ over to Ynnecy nnd company, deelnring Northern D n.o crat to be couslitulionally recognized, henceforth ami forever, as " persons held tq scrviee," iu a deed of conveyance made to Yancey nud company. Since that fatal day, no "statesman" lias been found in the Democratic party, while thu 15o publican party has fairly swarmed with them. According to our views, " statesman" mut bo able to shape the machinery of government so nc to mako it net iu h'lrmony with the sentiments of an exalted Immunity, instead otdoiny vitilmce to it. This givis a government shlniti, Ho must bo able also in enlarging its area by the acquisition of territory, to fortify that territory with such constitutional limits as to foster nud protect free labor tbo only power that ever has, or ever will renovate tho primeval forest, uud out of the gront natural resources of a country construct dwellings, erect manufactories, build railroads, and pile up exhaustless treasures, constituting tho personal estate of a numerous nnd prosperous population, -I Ins gives n government tr-M. This was the policy of tho early fathers hence Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and their compeers, were, like lending Republicans, nil " stutesmen." A " statesman" must be a good Judge of human nature, a man who is miliar with the causes that havo heretofore produced popular revolutions nnd overthrown gov ernments ono who studies tlio greut social tendencies of (lit age, and l0 ,om ,j knowledge of history, nnd fuiniliarity with tho spirit of his own times, is ublo to guard against popular commotions, and calm nud sootho the public mind, by removing as fust as possible, in a constitutional manner, nil causes that corrode and fester the public heart. This gives a government quiet. Ho must bo ulso uble to so t-hape tho gov ernment that it will work equal tind ex.ht jutliee In all--to Impartially and effectually secure to hiuh nud low, rich and poor, the fullest possible enjoyment of " life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiuess." This ren dera a people tontenltd, Anij, and pa-Inotie. These objects being secured, and the f overnment being administered upon the same humane and judicious principles in its diplomatic departments, the "statesman" Las the gratification of seeing ilia fmit of lit labors in a, government that is ttatle, .t borne. bid being .

Argus; We have stn cie led In car rying this county for Lincoln by n majority of one vote over both wings of tho D nun racy, notwithstanding the efforts of the Federal ofileiuls Iu favor of Breckinridge and Lane, and thu State and County offi cers and the Piloting influence in favor of Douglas und Johnson. This is quite a vic tory for the people, when wc tako Into consideration that tho officials and ap pointees iu this county constitute quite n lurge portion of our voting population. Oil Clatsop I'lains where the farmers voted, Lincoln hud 24 votes, whilst both the oth ers hud only 9 which shows how the cool und deliberate thinkers vote, when out of the reach of thut baneful influence, which the Democracy generally wields so potent ly. j. tezT ii e are in ormctl thut a day or two before the election, W.

The carrier renehed thu place of voting on the morning of the election, and not seeing tho person to whom they were to be de livered, handed tho package lo Philip Foster, one of the judges, with a request that hu would deliver it to tho person for whom they were intended. Foster, how ever, on learn'ng that the package contain ed Republican tickets pitched it into the fire, declaring that they should have none lint ISreekiuridgo tickets (hero that day. The only effect it hnd, however, was .that tho Republicans had to write their tick ets. 1 his is a small matter, nnd wo give publicity to it merely lo show the spirit of tho man, believing there nro few D.-mo crals in Clackamas county who would stoop to an net of such despicable meanness.
