Tha Albany Democrat understands the situation and comprehends that it will not do to put up a straw man as a candidate to fill the vacancy created by the death of Col. LaDow. In a general election it is possible to sandwich an indifferent candidate in between a half-dozen strong men and in that way pull him through. At the election the coming fall the can didate will stand solitary and alone. and if a weak man he will surely go to the wall. ' "" Tho Salein Mercury and other Dom- ocratic papers throughout the State hare fully endorsed and commended our position upon ibis important question, and ws derive again to call the attention of those who are making candidates in almost every cpunty in tho State to carefully consider this . matter. It is evident from their utter inaction, that both the Republican and Independent parties Of the State, realizing their inability to succeed save through blunders in our own party, are not disposed to do any - thing or make an aggressive move. ment ; until they are. driven to it by tho lapse of time, or are incited to it by the hope of success. 'The hitter they will not have unless our foolish blunders afford it.' If 'wo should pnader to the howl of "locality" or the vociferations of "superior claims" i if candidates in convention, or swap about Jor.possible, advantages in the general election next year, and thus forget the main point to be consid-niitl-a-that of tho integrity and abil ity of the candidate and his relations lo tho people of the whole State wo may expect to have a hard fight if not a .ead dofoat.i. The' Damoaratio party of this State is strong wo ver ily believe it is stronger than ever before; but that strength can only be maintained, through tho confidence and ltnpect accorded it by tho people. As soon as that reapoct is. forfeited aud ooafi Jenoe abused, the people's support will be withdrawn and tho party must then moot with defeat. The ignoble fate of the once proud Hepublican party of this 'State ought to b a warning to our Democratic friendx, and we have every confi dent's to believe that thoy will proQt by it and nominate a man whom the whole party will be proud to boar along to a glorious viotory. ,'., . .Tfli? THirtD Ti:n5inR speaks. . At lust Grant is out in a letter tic fining his attitude on the third term question. The letter is addressed to Qcn. 'White, President of the Into Pennsylvania Stato Convention, and tho following extract will inform our -reader how Grant stands 6n the question of the third term. Ho says : . "I do not want this third nomina tion any inoro than I did tho first. I would not Write nor utter a word to change the will of tho peoplo in ox pressing and having their choice Tho question of tho number of terms allowed one exocutivo can only come up fairly in the shape of a proposi tion to amend the constitution a shape in which all political parties can participate in fixing the length of time or numbor of terms for which ono person shall bo eligible for the office of President. Until such amendment is adopted, tho peoplo cannot be restricted in their choice by resolution, furthor than now re stricted as to age, nationality, vo. It may happen in tho future history of the country that to change tho ex ecutive because he has been eight years in office will prove unfortunate if not disastrous. The idea that any man could elect himself President, or even nominate himself, is prepos terous. It is' a reflection on the in telligence and patriotism of the peo ple to suppose such a thiug possible. Any man can destroy his chances for tho office, but no one can force an election or nomination, I am not nor have I ever been a candidate for re-nomination. lwould not accept a nomination wero it tendered, un less it came under such circumstances as to make it ah imperative duty circumstances not likely to arise." Is there any man so all-fired green as to be fooled by that last remark? The sloekest littlo political trickster in a country primary always talks after . that fashion. Of course ho doesn't want it; but rather than have his clothes torn off by clamorous ad mirers who won't let him off, and to save the country from etornal domi nation, be will feelhimsolf compelled to gobblo up that nomination! If anybody is liable to be hood winked and bamboozled by that very transparent harrangua the deponent vory much mistakes- the intelligence of tho public. Tho Orcgonuin vory properly blushes with mortification and cha grin at this oheeky declaration of the groat third tonner,' and bungs its head iu abjoct humiliation and do spondont griof. It closes its louder on Grant's letter with tho sad remark : The third term riddle is solved, and Presidont Oraut is a cundiduto for re-election 1" The Ormjonian is per haps the only paper luyiug any claims to respectability in the Union that didn't know that beforo this Penn- Fft.tTRnXAL MINGLING OV TBIi BLIE , AND OKA V. OIK oaCutMl VrATMMH.Y. A dijpatch from Littlo Bock, Ar kansas, dated last Monday, says: "To-day has been most " momorable in the history of the city. Federal and confederate, white and black, united in the deccration of the fallen dead on both sides. Tho procession moved from the Stnto house to the cemetery where sleep tho dead of both armies, sido by side Tho speaker's stand at the grounds was erected half off the confodoratfl "arid half off the fodcral sido of tho wall dividing tho two cemotrios. An address was de livered by General Edgarton on pnrt of tho federal and Major Gallagher on part of the coufodorato, , Hatch ets carried by cx-confoderato and ex fodornl soldiers were buried on tho ground." It is well to thus bury the hatchet of sectional strifo and show to the watching world that no blood of animosity and no feeling of hatrod animates tho bosoms of people of one common country. This pageant nt Littlo Rock is a peculiarly appropri ate have before us tho Congres sional Directory of the last session, containing a compendium of the life and public career of every Senator and Representative in that body. Our Oregon Senators and Representative are properly noticed, and as we sup pose many of our renders are unac quainted with the career of theso dis tinguished gentlemen,, wo' have thought it well lo reproduco tho fol lowing from tho- Congressional- Di rectory: ' SENATOnH, Jauies K. Kelly, of Portland, was born in Centre County, Pennsylva nia, February 18, 1819; graduatod at Princoton College, New Jersey, in 1839; studied law aud was admitted to tho bar in Pennsylvania in 1842; went to California in 1819, and from theneo to the Territory of Oregon in 1851; was elected by tho Legislative Assembly of Oregon in 1832 one of threo commissioners to prepare a code of laws for that Territory; was a member of the Legislative Council ate one. As there many of theFcd-from im. oral bluo and Confederate gray are buriod upon' tho same field, there is an appropriateness in mon of North ern and of Southern birth forgotting, as the doad have forgotten; tho po litical issues that divided thcin, and mooting together to do honor to their fallen bravos. If there is any ground of common love and forgivo- no69, any spot whore sectional strife may end and fraternal love begin, it is over the sod that covers the sons of our common country who have died in tho civil war.1 We orb glad td. soo' tho exchaugo of courtesies North and South.

GRAND SlAHONU; UKU.MION. 1HK IWMBIITTKH CAI.LKD. Wo publish in to-day's paper the call for the meeting of the .Pomo emtio Htato Central Committee. 1 It was forwarded to us last week, but by some delay in the mails did not roach 11s in time for that' issue. We regard it as uufotunate that the Committee mooting was not called for an earlier date than tho 21th of June. ' By this delay the primaries and conventions will be thrown almost if not qnito into harvest time, in which event a full attendance of the peoplo can scarcely be expected. a freo expression of the sovereigns nt tho primaries as a general thing afford much less excuse for complaint aftor their accredited dolegatos have acted for tlioin in Convention. If the Coinmiitoo can possibly' call a Convention, before the busy harvest Mt in we presume they will do it.

Olympia has already been famous for 1IIU I.NOm'l.MH.MH, , , In view of our iipproacbin;,' 'cam paign,, wo commend tho . following soiisiblo suggestions from 1111 influen tial Eastern paper to tho Indoiwud ont Democrats (as they1 ure pleased to call themselves) throughout Ore gon, lliat paper truthfully S!iys: "That tho masses aro boginniuft to fully appreciate tho importance of existing issues, the desirability of some sort of change, and tho neces sity of the overthrow of tlio Repub lican party as it now oxists, will not be questioned. When such men ns Mr. Solium withdrew from that par ty, they carried thousands with thorn, and over tliene thousands he aud men inspired by the sumo high motives havo to-day a commanding inlluance. Out of this material an Independent party might bo framed, just largo enough to bocomo iu the approach ing strugglo 11 nouloiirmy 01 martyrs, and contributing, in all probability to a third torm victory and to the utter dofeat of tho reforms for tho accomplishment of which it was or ganized. Of course all good men would re joice in a victorious party whoro tho grain was sifted from tho chaff,- but thorois a reasonable doubt.-derived from experience, about the possibil ity of such a blessing. There is tin epitaph on the tombstone of it Con necticut baby, the first line Of which roads). ; "We always can't hnvo things to ploaso us," and it would be well for the gentlemen who contemplate this new organization to barken to this voice from the tombs. ' Nothing that they can do will change tho, na ture of the contest, which must -be botween tha Republican party, which has been fulso to its trusts, and the Dmooriitio party, which has given pledges of reform, mid is to day in part performing its promises. There is, of course, much twit is objectiona ble to these gontlcmon in the hitter party, its nntooodouts and its per- mmiel. If it is to them au evil it is: tho loaHt of tlioso which surround them. Are these gontlcmon desirous of practical reformation in American politics r if so, an independent party in n wouk expression of the wish." ' I i , 1 Wii heartily endorse what the En terprise of lu.it weok said in roferonce to the conduct of some of our Ore gon Democratic papors in undue nnd hasty criticisms of individual Demo crats whose names are moutionml in connection with the Congressional nomination. We do not protend to dictate, but only to suggest that such acrimonious eritu-um is hurtful to the party and ought to be substituted by a victorious fight on the common enomv.

( One of the most striking fo.tturos of the Kentucliey Democratic State convention which met at Frankfort on Thursday, was the ' participation in the proceedings of the veteran abolitionist, Hon.. Casrius'M. Clay. When he made his appearance he was greeted with loud applause, and spoke as follows: (. I feel sensibly the compliment you have paid me by this call to address it "few ' words to this distinguished ana most important gathering of the Democratio party, applause but I feel still more sensibly impressed by the cordiality with which you receive me among vpu , so that Imay justly say that, althfwgh I am pot easily terri fied, but being nmongstthe uuterri tied, I am to-day a little terrified. Laughteraud applause. Gentlemen, I know there is too much to be done here torday to listen to speeches at this time. I thenk yon for what I know you intend as a compliment. Allow me to say that t have al ways professed to be a Democrat. I am an old-fashioned Jefferson Democrat. We stand to-day upon the same plat form. You tire thero, and I am there, and we are together. I do not caro who criticises, but I believe you are to-day the true defenders of the Re publican and Democratic principles of 177G. The Democratio party to day stands upon these principles, and it is the true defender of the constitutional liberties of this coun try. Therefore, if I am not untrue myself, '! am nothing else but a Dem ocrat, and am not ashamed to be en listed under such names as Jefferson, Madison and Jackson. Applause. DONATION CLAIMS.
