In Oil paper will be foiiii'l a call fur
Republican irifeiinj la Yamhill county.
OrjMnhwiloni have already botn effected
in tome oibtr counties, mid w Lopo the
friend of restoring ilio government to lt
ancient purity and simplicity, will take steps
lo cflcct ryaitiiation In every county iu
tlia Territory, preparatory to celling a Ter
ritorial contention sometime this winter.
We bavo do doubt cf tho epdi!iey,
and necessity oftuch an organization, upon
a broad national couterutive platform, at
a permanent arrangement, We bate liiila
rrto failed lo make any hedy against
ilia corrupt parly now in power, fvr the
want of a platform of principle which Hood
out in audi bjJJ riif in ibxir supeiiorily
over ihote of our opponent, tbat they could
ba won by iba great matt of iliu penple(
lio bare hitherto bn votinj with tb
duinocratie psr'y. Tba doe'rino of free
territory, and of tli I'acific ll.iilroad, bitb
constitute ilia major part of the Itepubli
can platform, it lli inma to far m tl.e
former it concerned at leant, tli.it a held
by Clay, Jefferson, Wellington, WeUtor,
and formerly by I'lichanaii and Douglas,
and concerning the l.iMer, it in not only tlio
doctrine of Benton, and many oilier di-tin
guithed statesmen, but it it emphatically
lhadoctrino of tba great nwiiof lb Aineri
caa people. These principles ara tangible,
feasible, and cmy to ba understood.
Tba old war about V. 8. Hank, Tariff,
&u. it now coded. The great object to lo
attained now it tor.ttl and tultle forever,
tlio exciting slavery agitation which ba
been unfortunately precipitated upon the
nation by tlio destruction of the Missouri
compromise, which was held sacred by the
nation up to the hour when it wut ruth
lessly destroyed by the pnaciit adiuiuistrn
lion in tbo vuin hope of welding together
the fifteen aouthurn State ns a unit, and
with the expectation of buying over two or
threa northern Siati lu ibu support of a
party which it wa expected would run
tho author of the Nebraska Uill fur the
presidency, and iu bit election wuuid suf
ficiently reward him for hit deep laid
achemei of paliticid treachery. The next
object it lo secure tho Pacific railroad.
T'hit it an enterprise which the people of
the tiiiun consider practicable, and abso
lutely nceossary. Thero i no doubt of the
-xislcnco of a coiihtilulional power poison
ed by the Uenural Government fur mak
ing literal appropriation! for this rowl, ex
cept among a fewold fogiei in the present
Administration that authorized Soulo to
tender Spain a hundred and eighty millions
of Treasury fundi for the Wand of Cuba.
The Republican parly in power, nnd the
rond will bo completed in ten years or less ;
the government will be bound together in
etrong iron bandt, and the Pacific coast
will march onward and upwaid in popula
tion, wealth aud improvement w ith gigan
tic strides.
The Republican parly, like the small
alone cutout of the mountains, it bound to
roll on till it coven the whole- Union
rtinrk that. If it should possibly fail of
electing I-romont Ibis lime, it will sweep
the Union sooner or later like a whirlwind.
It is no sectional party. Its principle
onco understood, it will meet with as hearty
reception jn Toxus as in Mnino. It pio
poses to imito the good ami conservative
of all parties upon its broad, national
platform, while the firc-enting secession
ists and ulirn-Abolitionist will U li ft to
I'ilhor "fuse," or iuvade the Republicans in
detached squads.

in general a necessary insfiltition." We
have also show n from this wine. Examiner
that the line af defense is now changed from
the advocacy of uegrw slavery to that of
tho enslavement of vhite men. We have

It was a western ora'or who in speaking
of human liberty, said, "I'anueil Hall wa

it will take something less than a bale of
cotton to make a winding sheet for the
carcass of black democracy, and the "ipe

ish timber amply sufficient for its coffin,
with enough left to make several guide

now doing. Tho ship Independence, which
was sent out by the U. S. Government to
explore the island, has returned to Sun
Francisco. Commodore Mervina makes
an unfavorable report. We clip tho follow
ing extrao1 from the Alta California:
"Intense intorest appeared to pervade nllm'nd,

Mr. A. S. Denton, who went out on tho
Independence, makes a report to tho com
pany, stating that the Commodore made
no eflort to land on the island. He 'hinks
a landing could have been easily effected,
and the quality of the guano tested, of which
he thinks the island contains an abundance.

I'eucCo., Oct.23, 18,-)C.
Editor of tht Argui 1 have read a good deal
in your paper uf the immorality end obscenity of
what you very appropriately call "Ciapkoy's
Organ" iu Salem. 1 once read that sheet occa
sionally, but forming pretty much the same opinion
that you do of its character, I have not allowed it
to come into my hands till yesterday, when hap
pening to be at a house where it lav on the tloor,
my curiosity led me to pick it up. It wat dated
Oct. 7, 18."iG. The first article that caught my
attention was at the tup of the sixth column of the
first page, nnd headed "A Sharjie't ltiilu." I read
it through, and to attempt to describe my feelings
of horror and disgust at the obscenity and filihi
nets of tho closing sentence, would be a vain ef
fort. I dropped the pi'por, resolving never to
touch it again, unless W illi a pair of tonga. The
quesiiuu occurred to me, What an awful account
will parents have to render, ho permit their chil
dren logrow up under the teaching! of such ob
scene prints? Is there no law iu Oregon for the
suppression of such publications? and can any
man be a Christian who lets such a degrading
tiling come into his house ?
Respectfully, yours, Clabisiia.
jT Tbo article you refer to had tiil now
escaped our attention. Upon reading it,
we find it of a similar charae'er with many
items that sheet loves lo parade before its
reuders. It is just the kind of reading
thnt suits most men who tnke the paper,
besides the editor thinks them so remark
ably rich that he cannot forego the pleas
tireof selecting them, ns choice morsels.
Iu answer to your queries, there is a law
in Uregon against obscene prints, but the
law makers adopted this same advocate of
"licensing houses of ill fame" their Terri
torial printer.
Whether any man rvw be a christian who
allows this obscene sheet to come into bis
family, we do not pretend to judge. Our
private opinion is that the Duly Spirit
might as reasonably be looked for in a
hen-roost as in such a family hut "Clar
inda" must recollect that the goodness and
long suffering of God are very great, and
we ought to be as charitable at possible,
hoping for the best.

to givo to the Tenitories many new privi
leges, it withheld from them the right of
electing their own Governors, and imposed
upon them Federal appointees, clothed
with the veto power. The people are now
fully aware of ihe practical woikingsol'lhit
new policy, ns it has been developed in
Kansas. The history of that Territory up
to this time, has furnished strong evidence
that the Nebraska bill was a fraud; thai
tho administration never entertained the
idea that tho people of JCansus should he
left freo lo regulate their domestic institu
tions. At all events, while this great pre
rogative was tendered in mockei'V to thorn
in the Nebraska bill, the strong or in of the
government hhS been stretched out to sits
lain Ihe mob from Missouri, which wrested
this privilege from tho squatters of Kansas
and in enforcing the most tyrannical and
despotic enactments of a'Ier,iilnture elect
ed by Miss'ouriuns.
Northern nnd southern politicians who
buve favored ihe decttino of squatter sov
rcignly, have never been nblo to agree as
to the precise lime tfAcn the squatters
were sovrcigns over the institution of slave.
nr. Tho former class have held that the
people of aTeriitory have no right to med
dle with tho matter till they form a cgBrth-
tution preparatory lo aix-npprication for
admission into -the Union ; whilo the south
em wing of the party contend that the first
Legislative nssemhly that meets in
Territorv, if , elected even by n dozen
squatters, has the right to fasten slavery
upon the Territory. Douglas, who gave
birth to the nondescript, hoc never vet been
nblo todecido which of these two wings nf
the democracy is right, although often re
ferred tons nn umpire in the case. Many
southern statesmen now declare it to bo a
humbug and a cheat, while tbo notion of
tho democratic Senate in lately passing n
bill, luking the management of Kansas nf.
fairs into their own hands, proves their
conviction thut squatter sovereignty is a
failure.
The people, we have litlle doubt, will 6o
decide in November, and forever bury all
these reckless and unprincipled agitators.
The prospect now is that Fremont will be
elected bv nn overwhelming muioritv.
Buchanan stands little or no chance. The
only chance for Fillmore, is in the with
drawal of Buchanan, which the result of
the Pennsylvania election, whioh came oil'
on the 14th tilt., may induce him to do.
Pennsylvania, we predict, has gone anti
democratic by over twenty thousand ma
jority. If Buchanan withdraws, Fillmore
will carry every southern State, with a
chance of Pennsylvania, New York and
New Jersey.
Such are the wonderful mutations and
shiflingsof political phases. A month
ago nnd it was thought Fillmore had no
chance, that the race lay between Buchan
an and Fremont. Now it is rnmvde.il hu
many prominent democrats in Pennsylva
nia, that if Fremont is beaten by any body,
it will be by Fillmore. At all events, the
black democratic party is ns dead as the old
Whig party. Black crape will soon be in
great demand. ,
