Tliu union imJ co-opt ration, under n new mime mul upon a new issue, of political el cmeuts hitherto discordant and antagonistic, aft'ord lessons and inferences which we aud our neighbors ns well are not slow to np prehcnd. The voluntary reminciution of distinctive party mimes and platforms, though nt first opposed by some of the party leaders, proved so completely the people's choice, nnd gained their npproval so emphatically at the polls, that nil ohjec tiou to this movement, either on the score of principle or policy, has been convenient ly abandoned and forgotten. That the Republican party in this State should have liccn somewnat elated ny tlie;r victory in the triangular Presidential contest, was to have been anticipated, yet that they might reasonably expect, unassisted, to be able to elict a Union Republican ticket, was a view of the matter which they wisely for bore to urge, and which was not allowed to shape a decisiou on tiie question. Pixie democracy in support of the traitor John C. Breckinridge commanded iti this State a vote of 5,00d, while the same style of played-out sympathy with secession, in the succeeding State election, when the thing find fully developed itself, lost 2,000 votes, aud if ths election were to go through again within a month, would lo.-e a propor- tionally large share of the remainder. The Ponglas vote in this State was over a thou sand behind that for the traitor Breck. In California, where the contest was closest between the Douglas men and the Ibpub- licans, thev seem to have more difiicultv in settling into the harness together than we had lure, where the Breck men were in a majority ovtr the Douglas wing. Tho most mudfish, the wisest, ami the best men in California ore iu favor of a fair stand up fight for and against secession for and against the Union. The result of our election should be a guide for everv honcot lover of the Union, and a warning to every scheming political knave who is opposed to any and every wind not filling his own private sails. A good work has been effected in this State by the fuller po niicti emancipation oi men irom pr.'Cj.m-.s and partisan obligations. No coterie of , long-headed schemers of midmj.t caucus- crs of saloon freipu-nting, whisky-drinking politicians, can assume or exercise arbitrary control over political matters in Oregon, as ' has been the case somewhat hitherto. . Hereafter no man or set of nun can de maud a party shibboleth, or damn the man who fails to pronounce the old catch-word " Democracy" with all the proper itiflec "-t.oiis for the right of private judgment on public questions is becoming generally re- cognized, and mm are not to be ruled out for the exercise of independent ideas on llll questions of public interest, nnd panic ularly in the choice of honist and enpabh men for public place and position. The cx- Candidate for Congress, with grormings nl- most unutterulle, appealer to the pcr.pl for office because he had been a life tony democrat. How f.ir that goes, he roba- bly realizes by this time, and also how JJ much pood it did his cause, to rave about y the abolitionists. No l ?s as an cp'ritivc cause than nn encouraging i ff.-ct, our late . election is valuable, and will hasten for- tta.-d us well as indicate the extent of pro . t 1 1 t fccrcsa wc nave inauc nnu are making in polltic.il reform. Oiuxox Cirv. We are pleased to v. thot a spirit of improvement is beginning to stir among our people, ami would be glad if it could be multiplied tenfold. Tli' n is i.o earthly reason, unleM it be possible niieertuinty of title, why all kinds of machinery which this country justifies should not be carrier on at this point, 'fringing Into profitable u-c an iminwise amount of power now idle urn unproduc tive. Justice to property-holders in this place, no less than to the claimants, de mands that the title be finally Ret at ret-i, in order that improvement be stimulated, and that capitalists may be induced to in vest, developing latent wealth in the water power, which is ife, clinit, nnd infinite iu extent. The rocks above Oregon City look more . barren and .the obstruction to navigation by the Falls more like a nuisance than ever before, Kvery indication Irom nutural ad vantaged is in favor of this point becoming a renter of manufacturing (or the State, owl. iU destiny fdiould be observed and im proved. ., , toT Two of our Slate officers elect have been seriously, if not dutigcromdy ill since the election. Gov. Uibbs has hud a ueveu attack of typhus fever, from which he is lowly recovering. Ilarvcy Gordon, State Printer elect, is considered in a dangerous condition being .. ofllicted witn a bronchial nfh'etion. Ho is at prencnt over at Voncalli, In Umprpm county, whither he had gone on account of hir health. 66" Col. De Bussey, U. S. A., has re. ccntly paid a visit to Astoria, for the pur pose of surveying for fortifications in the vicinity of the mouth of the Columbia Riv er. It has always seemed to us that the lessons w hich were taught tho world by the recent naval engagements on our A tlautic seaboard, and interior rivers, as to the inefficiency of forts compared with iron clad gunboats as a means of harbor de fense, ought to have stimulated what little representation we have in Congress to a persistent effort nt directing appropriations for Pacific coast defences in other channels than those which lead to the construction of old logy forts, which can be passed with impunity by iron clad vessels, or which are liable to do but little damage to wooden vessels under a stiff breeze or a full head of steam. Wc have lately received a private letter from a U. S. Naval officer in Cali fornia, who says: ' It is universally acknowledged that tin y (, fortifications') are useless. Our harbor is o easy of access that an enemy can come in, in a fog, or at nie;lit, as easily as at bright noon day. The harbor is so large that it cannot be defended by stationary fortifications. Tho bill for an iron-clad gunboat did not pass the Senate of Califor nia, there being so many persons of intlii eneo about who wanted to make a dollar or so out ol the job. What a curse to the country, when not even the means of de- t. use Irom a ruthless Toe who sits so near .

Argus: After traveling to different parts of the country, 1 inn well satisfied that Astoria has natural ndvnn tages that no other place on the Columbia or Willamette river has, nnd before long these advantages will be appreciated, nnd ! they arc already beginning to attract the attention of capitalists iu California. The health of the place cannot bo questioned tho harbor is well sheltered the town has an excellent wharf, In sides u good school good water, io ; and, after all that has been done to turn trade from its nutural channel, still 1 find business looking to a permanent location at this point, nnd ar rangements for building going on. Some might think that while the towns and farms on tho upper fivers were being inundated, and subject to the same calamity once am ttcict every year, that this town would share a similar fate, but Astoria is not af fected by high water at all, owing to the width of the mouth of the Coliinihin, am! tluvebb and How of the tide. I regard it as inevitable that Astoria w ill become, at a day not fur distant, to Oregon and Washington, what San Imuii ciseo is to California a depot for the trade of the upper country and the point from which river steamers will start, to do the carrying business direct to the Kails of the Willamette mul to the Cascades of the conducted, is a continual tax upon the trade and commerce of the country, which only tends to enrich a few who have al ready crown wealthy on the labor mid at the expense ot the best interests of the many. The project of cstablishirg n line of steamers from San 1-Yaneiseo to Astoria has been seriously entertained in California, and whiNt there not long since I under stood that the arrangements w ere about all completed for that purpose, aud that the line would shortly bo in operation, but since reaching Oregon I lenrii that the pro jeel is laid by for the present probably the movi r has been subsidized by the old line, and induct d to forego his noble enter prise. But, however this may be, smh efforts, though they nciy for a time retard, cannot ultiinati !y cheek the stream of trade from flowing in its natural course. A elauce at the map, ami a mere ncqii lint .nice with the laws which govern eomnn ree, will satisfy iiny one that some point nt the mouth of the Columbia River is destln'-d to be the erand entrepot of all the country numbers yet to perform all that is o be expected of ties country.
