But ignoring the deep disap pointment the Oregonians felt when they learned that the treaty of June 15th 184S not only abandoned all of Orgon north of the 49th degree of lati tude, but curved nouth at its western terminus so as to give to England the whole of Van couver Island and a site to build a fortress thereon whidh would commaud the entrance to Puget Sound, let us look back at other national platform was made in 1844 when in tbe 12th resolu tion in its platform made at Baltimore on May 2nd it ' "Resolved, that our title to the whole of the Territory of Oregon is dear and unquestionable; that no portion of the same ought to be Ceded to England or any other power, andathat the reoccupation of Oregon and and the reannexation of Texas it the earliest practicable period are great American measures, annnire a home in Oreeon. The x v donation law tout gave homes to tbe old settlers though advocated toe eight years 1842 byDr Linn Senator from Missouri was not passed until 1850 in the whig administration of Fillmore, two years after the Democraoy bad delcared in their platforn that "the prooeeds of tbe publio land ought to be saoredly applied to the national objects specified in the constitution." What this rnnnlii'ian meant sea the veto messages of James Buobanan of Deo 24th 1869, when be vetoed a bill granting land to oid Ag ricultural Colleges, wherein he declared that it was unconstitu. tional to donate lands to tbe states for such purposes, and also his veto mesong? refusing to sigb a Homestead Bill on Jane 2.rd 1860 wherein he dealares i' unconstitutiontl to donate pub lio lapds to private citixens. Had the Democracy remained in power ' Oregon wonld have no State University or Agricaltural College for both these rduoation al institutions were erected by funds derived from public lands granted Oregon by a Republi can Congress; neither would there have been a homestead law passed on May 20th 1862 had Democracy been in power. 3rd. Had the Democraoy re mained in power our rivers and harbors would have remained unimproved, for the Democratic platform of 1840, reaffirmed in 1844,1848,1852 and 1860 "Re solved, that the constitution does not confer anthority upon the Federal government the power to commence and carry on a general system of internal m a TO ruacu ; clear conception oi wna. ini resolution mfans see the veto message of Gen. Jackson of May 25th 1830, his 21 annual mes sage of Deo 6 1830 and bis veto message of Doc. 6lb 1832 nnd bis veto message of . Dec. 4th 1833 and his 6th annual mes sage of Dee. 1st -1834. From ail these . it is manifest Inat -hat is meant by Jaokaonian Demooracy is that appropria tions for internal improvement are unconstitutional. Tbe questions are seriauslv urged, what would Oregon be today had tbe Demooraoy remained in power, and ' why should an Oregooian be a Democrat? if Union county is to receive any benefit from the Lewis end Clark Centennial which is to be held in Portlxnd next year, it should be represented by a cred itable display of our products. The Lewis and Ciark Centen nial is a looal undertaking and if the residents of Union county do justice to themselves and to the management " oi the affair they wilt see that the products : of Union county are placed on exhibition. Of course there is considerable expense attached to getting up a good display of fruits, vegetables, grain.etc, but if our citizens do not feel able to Taise the necessary expense by popular subscription,' tbe county court should be asktdto appropriate a sum sufficient for purpose. Union county is able to make as creditable a showing as any county in the state, and the matter should Jbe taken up at once.

There are old persons in Ore gon, yet alive, who will remem ber the- political campaign of 1844, as carried out in their old home states, and that in the Democratic rallys the enthusias tic Democratic procession bore aloft gaily lettered banners de claring "All of Oregon or none" "Fifty four forty or fight" and shouted for "Polk aud Dallas," the Drmocratio nominees for V I president and vice president.

SORIBER, Cashier n u r The claim then made by the Democratic orators, press and platform makers was that our title to the whole of Oregon meant ail the country west of the summit of the Rocky moun tains to the Paoific Ocean be twten the 42 degreeof north lat itude on the south, tbe same being the north line of Mexico, has done or omitted to do to the hindrance of the growth of Ore gon 1st Let us recall the numerous graves along ihe old immigrant trail between .1842 and 1862 marked "Killed by Indians" and remember that so indifferent was the ruling party during that twenty years to the protec tion of the only mad by whiob people could reach Oregon that there were no U S garrisons thereon from Fort Laramie to Fort Dallas, a distauce of one thousand miles through the worst Indians in the United States, and that during these bloody years more than two thousand immigrants and citi zens of Oregon were killed by Indians. 2.
