P. S. Since the nbove wa in type, we bve convened with Mr. McKinlv, who baa lately returned from CbarnpoeflV- He inforlni ut that, during Li stay there, he heard from reliable source, that letter have been received inlbe Trench prairie from certain half-breed who art now work ing in the Columbia mine. They state, that about thirty of them are now at work, on a bar of the Ponderray river, few bun drcd yards above it junction with the Co lumbia, and making from twenty-five to thirty dollara each per day. The gold is represented to be similar to the Feather river gold, but coarser. Report tnyt, that the young man who first discovered the bar ha made somo two or three thousand dollnrs. The bar is said to cover an area of only few feet square. fo other digging had been found by them at latest accounts. There it tremendous excitement among the French, and many arc leaving for these hew mines. If the mines should prove to be extensive, whicn w are inclined lo believe, the price of pro duce in Oregon will be rapidly advanced, until farmers will realize what they have so long hoped for, such prices at will justify them in working a little closer than their late gloomy prospects have induced them to do. Now don't all run away and leave your fields of golden grain to go to waste, even if you hear that tho mines are paying six ounce a day. It may yet prove another "Coose Bay humbug," but we hope not.

We aro happy lo inform the community that our quondam friend and fellow travel er in tho whig ranks, tho present editor of tho Standard, is engaged in the laudable mission of scouring the country, for the pur pose of waking up his fellows to iho tran scendent importance of taking a newspaper, thus not only benefitting himself, and tome of ibe people, but materially advancing our interests. Now don't understand us to in timate that ho is our aynit, by any means, for if you want the A nous just send us your names by some other couveyance, as they might (through mistake) bo recorded upon tho wrong book. All wo want to sny, is, that quito number of our citizens w ho hnve hitherto lived without a newspaper in thuir families, havo probably to hsd their consciences wrought upon and their eyes openedjsto tho importance of this matter, bv tho eloquent, and convincing representa tions which havo been msdo to them as to their duty nnd interest by Mr. Leland, that ihcy have comiminicatod to us their desire to become regular subscribers to our paper. Wo hnve always said that it was not only tho duty, but the interest, of every head of a family to lako an Oregon papor, but as many subscribers, have delayed en tering their names 011 our books 1 ill this late date, we conclude that they were never fully awakened to (hu importance of the ubject, until they were beet by our elo quent friend, Mr. Leland.

If they want to have a respectable business place, why not try to make it accessible to the farming community f This is emphatically the business of the property bolder of the place, and a poor editor could hardly be expected to do much towards such enterprises. will show our good will however, by giving our mite, writing this exhortation, and when you get to work, just call us out, and we will try to lay shoulder to a few boulders ourself.

Tkt 4tk at Betkel. Bethel. OsEaoN.June 11. 1S35. Editor af the Ortgn Argut-Sm : The friends of Uelhel Inetitute intend to ffives public dinner on Ihe Fourth of July, and I am authorlicd to request you to attend and deliver a diaeouiae on the aubject 01 ciiuoanon, at that time. There will probably be aom Iota told on that dav. rieaae take auch notice ta th above may require, in your vuiuaoie paper. Moat Respectfully, Tour, Ac., W. C WARRCfER. We have thought the publication of the above note from Dr. Warrincr would be a sufficient notice of tho intended celebration of the coming 4th at Bethel. There will probably be quite a turn out of the friends from various sections of the country. We shall try to be on hand at the appointed time. Bethel Institute is situated in Polk County, some eight mile north-west of oalem. fcokkery. , We are informed that the house of Mr. Ferguson, in Linn city, was entered on last Wednesday, and robbed of jewelry to the amount of fifty dollars, also of some $20 in cash. The suspected thief was seen early the next moruing making track for "up country." U was a stranger, who was noticed lurking around the premises on th. same day of the robbery. TllUttu " We learn that this county polled 20 Totes, 18 of which were fa Gainst and 3 for Lane! out lo b trodden underfoot of men,1 ly camomil, acem afterward to flourish batter from th very prraaur of tarty advereity, or lik th lordly oak wheo ought to be riven, gain re doubled fore fur th reaction from th very power applied to rend it. "Principle art eternal," tnd, although those which we now advoeat hat auflored a teeming defeat, and our opponmte are ahouting over th demie of "Sam" and "Whiggory," w bliev they will yet triumph over th corrupt faction that iu tli late election ha obtained th misguided ap proval of lh people of Oregon. Down with lh "Know Nothing" I th cry down with lb trailora, ia heard from every eorner in Ih laud where an office-hunting hiiger-on of th dominant party ia quartered or a blatant dem agogue ean find fvola enough for follower! to echo tiia denunciation. And yet, approach coolly one of three gentlemen, and uk him hie objections to the American party and you will find lhat he will coufin himaelf lo generalitiea about the improprie ty of "eecret organisation," "proecription," dte., and often enough perhaps will acknowledge lie know nothing of th parly, aud ia perhaps doing them Injustice. Doe th objtction to were! aeeociiliona, we uk, apply where Ih motive principle and object of uch aaaociatious are constantly kept before th pub j lie? Th American party boldly proclaim Ita mo tive to be to purify and clean th political )' tern so deeply infected with th foul contagion of denugogueiam, and in order to the accomplish mint of thia end, th principle of excluding the foreigner from office a close lhat the history of the country proves to have always been ready to offer aacrific at the altar of demagogueiam ia of ne canity adopted, and it object i lo give to th country a pure administration, uncorrupted, un taiuted and uninfluenced by the dangeroua leaven of foreign influence ; an administration atriclly for Americana and American intsreata, lo be eou trolled tnd governed by American in heart and in fact Such are their objveta and when dispassionate ly discuaard without prejudice or feeling we believe three-fourth of th people of Oregon art believer in uieae principle. In fact we believe th worst enemy which Ihe American party haa lo encounter, i the emphatic know-nolhingiam of many of ita loudett oppoeera. They knew nothing of its object and do not try to inform themaelve ; they learn that it ii secret society and imagine at once there I something monitroua in it J forthwith denounc it and make war upon it . Such ia the aum of th reasons which give front to Ihe opposition to thia new movement. But with what aort of grace can the parry making the present opposition to Americanism urge thia objection T How lung haa the Tammany Society of New. York been co-operated with, aa a most valuable auxiliary to Democratic success, without that par ty ever intimating the least abhorrence of aeeret so cieties. How firmly it defended the Masonic fra ternity a few years ago wheu the infamy of the Morgan tragedy had aroused a strong temporary acntiment againat aeeret societies, aud bow eoaily it nestles in the South Western State, now, un der the protecting wings of the "Sag Nichts," an organization set on foot in the foreign population, and perhaps veiled in the deepest secresy or any in existence. And lastly how many of Ihe political schemes of it own paity leaden have been midwifed into existence ill caucuseaao dark and aeeret lhat even Ihe best tnd purest friends to them oftn remain entirely ignorant of their origin. Yes sir, this party tn Oregon has brewed ilspo lilical beer, in aeoret oauldrom: amid Ihe dark aud mysterious orgies ofmiduight revelers and debauch eries, and yet it raisea it front of impudence, and arouses an opposition to aeeret organizations But the next cry is "proscription," for opinion's sake, 4-c. And now in all good earnest, we ask where has there ever beeu a more prescriptive party than the modern Democratic party haa been and is ? If the American Party choose to vote against foreigner or Catholics it is an offeuee with their aympalhiea that "smells to heaven" against con. slitutionsl privileges ; and yet give them the pow. er and they will proscribe and drive from cverv office in the land native born eitizene, who are aa patriotic menaa breathe, because they are Whigs and declare the policy eminently just and proper ! lea, because men equally patriotic and republic ean differ with them in a few point they will pro scribe and vote againat them forever, and yet when Americana, in order to protect their institutions from the murderous fangs of a dangeroua foreign influence, organize and vote against those who have no sympathy wilh republicanism thev are forth wilh denounced by thit party as traitor, plotu'n; ..;. r. c. . . ..

As long as this is 'he case, perhaps there is no particular need of their throwing off the mask of secrecy, in order to eslista majority of voters, so as to be able to secure the object of their organization.

Freemen of Ameri.-a, which will you choose 7 Yours, AMERICUS. For tho information of those of our read ers who may not be aware of tho existence and character of this society in the States, we will state that the "Sag Nichts" is a se cret oath-bound political organization, got ten up of late, and becoming quite numer ous in somo sections of the country. It is, as its name would indicate, composed most ly of foreigners, of tho lowest and most ig' norant class, together with the very filth and scum of society, banded together for tho purpose of resisting the American move ment, and of opposing the reforms of the day. In every election, so far as wo have been nblo to learn, they hnve exerted their whole influence, not only to defeat the Amei ican ticket, but to crush out tho Anti-Ne braska and Temperance principles by de feating tbose who were candidates for of fice and running upon any of theso issues. Tho "regular democratic ticket," or that part of the democracy which is of the Douglas school, has, we believe, invariably had the benefit of their support. We have never yet read of a political organization more an ti-republican, whose motives, principles, and objects were more in harmony with the views and feelings of hungry office-seeking demagogues than that of this snaky con. glome'ration of foreign vipers and natural know nothings, which- would think the ob ject of their highest earthly aspirations wns accomplished could they see the Pope of Rome sitting in the Presidential chair of ibe United States, and bo permitted to pass ut every corner of all our cities and villages a licensed grog-shop, wilh a board hung out, inviting the passer-by, ns they once did in England, to bo "drunk for'a penny, dead drunk for two pence, nnd straw to lie on for nothing." Now the fact that tho leading organs of Douglasism in tho States, whilst they are so violent in ihcir hostility to the Know Nothings because theirs is a secret organization, and therefore a dangerous one, at the same time they have never raised a warning voice against tho plottings of their allies, the ignorant and vicious "Sag Nichts," we say this fact shows that all their appeals to the people nbout tho danger of "secret political organizations," are hypocritical in tho most glaring degree, and that their real opposition grows out of a fear that the American party will prove a death blow to their hopes by breaking down a party, on the success of which tbey have hung their hopes of future promotion. Tho "Sag Nichts" aro probably already on their way to this country, and whenever they are in operation as a society we shall expect to see the very men who have of late been so violent in theirdenunciations of "se cret societies," the first to crawl into this se cret political kennel ; at least we will ven ture the prediction that not one of the pa pers wmcn nave denounced secret societies here, will be found, which will feel inclined to say aught against it. We speak now of political leaders, and not of the peonle. We know that there is, and alwars has been, a deep seated prejudice among a vast number or our citizens against secret sod leties of all kinds. We recollect to have seen many "simple minded" people, in all parts ot theworhl, who looked upon even the Masonic fraternity and the Sons of Tem perance as institutions very nearly allied to me worns or the Devil, and exceedingly un propitious to the growth of religion. Ev- ery intelligent man knows that these preiu- 're more tnc consequence of iVnA. ranee than the result of honest indeoend. ent scruttny. That such associations, for laudable purposes, religi0Ui, morti of ical, are not io contravention with any law, human or divine. can bo mnde efficacious to the salvation of ourcountry from the threatening dimtcr which hang over us. These principles nrr all so reasonable and axiomatic that even many of their present bitterett opponent are compelled to acknowledge their excel lenpe, whilst nt the same time, through) prejudico to secret policy, created for tho most part by the senseless and violent decla mation of office seekers, they practically throw their influence against reform by tup porting men who are not the representatives of principles which their own better judg ment approves, simply because they make great pretensions to openness of ergamza lion and publicity of policy. If, therefore, all bos now been accomplished that was first expected to be secured by secrecy, and if the 1 future dissemination of truth among the people can be accelerated by throwing off the mask, and if we have arrived at a period when future accessions to the ranks of the only truly democratic organization in the . country would be materially promoted by a new line of policy, why not act the part ot wisdom by taking up the gauntlet of defi ance which the old parlies have thrown down and meet them fair and squnro upon such an arena of controversy as shall best exhibit to the world the superiority of truth over false hood, of genuine republicanism and truo democracy over old fogyism nod political humbuggcry ! Arrongemealt tor Ibe 4lan A respectable portion of the citizens of Oregon City and vicinity met in convention at Dr. McLaughlin's Uall on lost Tuesday evening, (June 19th.) to make arrangements to celebrate the coming 4th of July in this city.
