fJT Tbo Comiltutlon is probably ad
opted by majoriiy of four or five thou.
banJ, and slavery voted down by a largsr
majority.
tJT Some follow at Salem hai told the
Y. Tribune in a Icltor published lo tbut
paper, datod August, 20lh, 1607.
. In speaking of tbo resolution offered Ijr
Mr. Applegate, to exdudo all discussion 00
slavery from tbo bill, the writer says :
" Tlio resolution foil like a firebrand !
Members (ProSlavery) roso to their fed
with flashing eyes and distended nostrils,
and with frantic esgornoss shouted, or rnth
or yolled forth their disapprobation of tbe
resolution ; timid members left the boll io
Jl.igust J whilu those who remained, con.
titling of all tha rabid Pro-Slavery men
ind a few others who would bo called in
Kansas " freedom shrieker," waxed warm
ir, till tbe diionmion rota to such a pitch
that the cry of Ordor, order, was called in
vain, and forboarance on tbe pari of. many
censed loboa virtue; bowie knives, dirks
and pistol were drawo ; tlio vilest person
.diiies wera indulged in ; tba most acur.
i-iloni attacks w ere mndo upon Free Slate
men ; tbo most bitter invective was hurl,
ed indiscriminately ; the most infamous
calumnies wore banditd by reckless Border
Ruffians, who sssmed to revel in their na
tive element. Several shots were fired,
and two members ware slightly wounded.
One Tree Slato Democrat, the champion of
Umpqua County, received n scvre stab in
the abdomen. About fifteen shots were
fired during the mclce. Many wero more
or less injured by jumping from tha win
dows, and by rushing in great numbers to
make their carets by the narrow stairway
leading from I ho hall. For sevoral hours
the utmost consternation prevailed in our
usually quiet town. '
"Tho authorities wore Appealed to to sup
press this di9graoeful riot, for sucb it must
be called ; and the Mayor of the city, a
most enorgetio man, immediately called out
the Salem Bund, an independent company,
nnd marshaled them in front of the Court
House, with loaded weapons, in time to
prevent a gcnorul scene of bloodshed.
While ihoso blood. thirsty villains were
thirsting for human Free Stnto gore, they
wero approached by tho Marshal and Sher
iff, led on by our intrepid Mayor, who de-
; serves tho thanks of our community for his
fearless, heroic conduct, and were disarm
ed amid iho acclamations of the populace,
who, I nssureyou, felt grateful to a retrib-
'Utive Providence for arresting Ibis evil in
the nick of lime."
The Tribune says the writer was not
one of his " regular correspondents from
Oregon," but seems lo have written "at
tho request" of a " regular correspond
ent." Most people here think that the
letter was written by some black-aVmo-
cratic wag in Salem j but after carefully
comparing it with the Tribune's general
" correspondence" from Oregon, we are in
doubt as to what to think of the author
ship. If it was not wriltrn by a " regular
correspondent," tho rascal who penned it
had studied their productions so as to know
very well how to imitate their style.
Cov. Walker' I.lituor mil.
. On tin 25th of May, 18.V7, the City
Council of Leavenworth, K. T., passed a
resolution lendoring to Gov. Walker the
hospitalities of tho city, as he bad visited
them, and it was thought but genteel to
feed him at tho ptiblio expenso during his
Btay. , Gov. Walkor's bill for liquor alont
at tho Planters' Hotel was $210. This
the Cily Council very proporly refused to
pay, and gnvo the following reasons for
.thoir refusal !.,,. ,. , 1
" Wo are first opposed to the allowance
of this bill, because it was not contem
plated by tho City Council thnt the hospi
tality of this city, so generously tendered
iliis Excellency, Bhould be thus abused.
"And in the second place, thai it would
establish a dangerous and pernicious pre
cedent. . . i
" And in the third place, we will not
give our influence nor open tho City Trea
sury for tho encouragement of iuteuiper
ance tho mother of crime,"
These facts were published in the Ad
vocate at Salem in its issue of Nov. 2d,
-which brought down npon its devoted head
;the following from Czapkay's organ :
" I.nsiuuous Partian Opposition and
Politic:"! Abolitionism. The Salem
Christian Advocate professes to be a nou
tral paper in politics, while in fact it is an
insiduons, snae-ia-the-grass, blnck-repub-llcan,
abolition e.hcot. There is hardly a
number of that paper that does not con
tain moro or less political nnd partisan
matter, and it lsinvan'.bly directed against
democratic men, and pleasures. In the
Inst issue of the Advocate we find a long
article headed, in bold face, 'A merited
rebuke Kefusal to pay Gov. Walker's (of
Kansas) liquor bill. -"
The idea of denouncing a " religious"
editor as an 41 'insiduous partJzan",
"snake-in-the-grass," " black-rrpublicai?"
- nbolitionist," an "enemy of sound and
reliable democracy," because Lo had pub.
lUhed tho fact that the Leavenworth Coun
il refused to pay 8310 for " rot-gul" sup
plied to a locofoco official, is decidedly in
good keeping with the character of the
man who edits a slwct devoted to black
democracy, free whisky, licensing houses
of ill-fame, and publishing libels on re
electable females. ' '

Tha returns are not all lo up to our going
to press. Two precincts are yet behind.
No county can beat this for the imbecility
and inexcusable laziness of tbe judges of
soma of our precincts In sending in elec
tion returns. The looofoco law gives them
ten days, and wo shall probably get them
somo time before Christmas, provided any
ox carts happen to be coming in with
pumpkins and sour crout, so that thay can
be put aboard. If the judges of election
had any public spirit, they would always
have tho returns all in tha next day after
tha election, at farthest. .

r7" Cxapkay's organ and its nether tail
at Portland have fallen upon a felicitous
plan of getting their editorials before near
ly as many readers as the other journals
of tho Territory have. By copying each
other's articles, they flatter themselves that
they will be seen by almost as many people
.as read the weekly Issues of the Standard,
at all events.
" Doubling teams" is sometimes expe
dient ou a " hard road to travel," but we
have Kttle faith in carrion fed dog teams,
excepting among the Esquimaux, even if
they art " o'oubled." - v .
03" By tbe extracts we make from the
organs of the black democracy this week,
it will be scan that they are in a dreadful
muss. We' feel truly grateful that, by
publishing a journal devoted to no party
that advooates wrong, wa are enabled to
live at peace with all mankind. .

" But from Intimations given on tho 00.
casion by bis Hibben's ministering at
tenrfunti, wa are promised another attempt.
So be It. We shall neither seek nor shun
it. But when It comes, we shall be in town,
and wa hope prepared for the emergency.
Neither our fears nor 'pheulinks' are yet
aroused." Standard.
There is a difference of opinion up this
way among tho two wings of the blnck-do-mocracy
as to what you mean by being
" prepared for the emergency." The
Czapkaites contend that you mean to be
" prepared" for death while tbe bolters
think you mean to be " prepared" with a
pistol. '
If you will take the advice of a " black
republican" editor, who is pretty well
posted as to the vulnerable points of this
" raco," you w ill only think of " preparing"
yourself with a heavy pair of "stogy"
boots, ind the next time he attempts to
spit In your face, just " kick him on the
thins."
The Future of the Pro-Slavery Tab
tv. C. E. Pickett, in a letter in the Occi
dental, in speaking of what they may yet
accomplish, says:
" Which the pro-slavery party in Oregon
can yet bring about, oven if defeated on
0th of November, provided they get up a
separate organization, stick closely to
gether, make nominations of men from the
lowest to the highest offices only of those
who come out boldly and uncompromisingly
in favor of their creed, and vote for them
in all cases, even where by so doing it en
sures) he election of a black republican
for better one of thee open enemies shall
succeed than a falsehearted, professing,
treacherous friend. This is the true and
oaly way to succeed." . - . I
Jf" Czapkay's organ never howls on
tha track of any person without waking
tba Times, which is sure to make a fceblo
echo. The first named paper has been
full of the foulest and silliest abuse of the
Advocate, The Times at length sends
back its echo, in the following strain :
" Brother Pc-rino,' of the Advocate,
whoe ideas of a pleasure trip to heaven
are inseparably connected with a ride on
the back of the impression of an eagle on
a ten cent piece, has taken it into his pre
cious noijgiii to protrude his paw from his
clerical etige for a grab at us. Of course
he does not mean lo be disrespectful or un
gcnilomnuly. ' Oh an, not net Brother
l'e-rine means no good when he swears,
and no barm when he prays, and only a
little too anxious for a sweet pretext to cry
persecution he is a! nays fishing for a muss
with some one. It shows his wonderful
watchfulness of the watch and prey' or
der to say nothing of how much sense
and prudonce it don't show. In this case,
perhaps he has flushed game for which he
wes not hunting. At all events, we think
that his saintly excellency should have
squared his little account with the States
man before squaring at us. There is a
luscious question of veracity pending there,
that ouaht to be settled, so that he come
ww
1 at us v. tin clean nanas. However, we re
member that poetry and will waive this
little omission, and give the Advocate go
wiusachanca to glut his pious thrust for
avongement.
BiothorPe-rine,' did it over steal over
your pure heart that it was not quite the
exact thing, religiously speaking, to bear
false witness against vour neighbor! ; The
Bible is on excellent institution, and if
vou studv that precious volume as it is your
duty io do, you have but little lime for
gulping up theiiise ana calumnious smug
of theOregonian and Standard, and spew
ing it out as your own characteristic con
position. 1 You are false on tbe importation
question, and you are silly about our resi
dence. How long we have been a resi
dent of Oregon, should in no wise affect
us, and it is very contemptible puppyism
to use that question to arouse a prejudice
against us. JF came an American-bom
cili:cn,and all this Union is our home.
Our coming was a thing of our own voli
tion, and the thug spirit that dictates the
meanness of a reference to our presence
here, comes with disgracefully ill grace
froma foreigner. Do you understand ?
This stuff hitherto we have refrained from
answering, under the belief that no one
assuming to be a gentleman would give it
a moment's cntertniiunent ; but now that
you parade it, allow us to say to you, that
as ' to the manor born' an American citizen
we claim the same rights here that we
should eluim upon a residence of a thous
and years. Besides this, dear brother Fe
rine, these rights, everywhere this sido of
the grave, we ure able and ready to main
tain. Have you any doubt of that I"
We copy the above not as an endorse
ment of it, but for the purpose of showing
our rcadors what these locofoco papers are
equal to. We must not, however, be un
derstood as expressing any sympathy for
the editor of the Advocate. ; He is reap
ing what he richly deserves. We recol
lect in the case of the Times editor, as in
several others, he seized upon the first op
portunity, after. he landed upon our shores,
to dreg his slimy carcass from a reeking
doggery and cover it all over with kisses,
much to the disgust of the moral part of
community. ' The Advocate of June 15th
says: :-.
" We welcome Mr. Hibbcn to our ranks,
and hope his talents and energies which
we doubt not, will shine resplendant
through the columns of the Times will
be fully, appreciated, and win for him that
respect and good feeling, which his pre
decessor has so universally enjoyed." . i
A short time aftex, the Advocate con
tained the following : .
" Wa recently had tha honor of a visit
from the editors of the Occidental Messen
ger and the Portland Times, both of w hom
were actually in our sanctum, last week.
We were gratified with the review. If
gentlemanly bearing, and real cleverness,
are deserving, then these gentlemen ought
to succeed, for they are, really, both court
eous sod clever." .
The editorial we have copied frem the
Times we think will satisfy the Advocate
as te Ilibbsn's "gentlemanly Wring mnd
real cleverness," as also that his u Uihntt
and energies shine fesphndanC through
those "columns of the Times" devoted to
throwing filth on his gsrmsnts.

This took place early in the by-gone spring
and is one of the most serious coups d'etat
which the United Slates have uudergone
since the war of Independence."
Tbe same paper proceeds to inform its
readers that the Mayor of New York was
a " man of highly democratic predilec
tions, and canvassed strongly on the Fre
mont ticket"; also that the majority of the
New Yorkers were of the same political
faith, and viewed with complacency the
zealous efforts of Mayor Wood to defeat
the Buchannnites. The Buchanaiiites,
treated with disdain by the Mayor, fell
back for refuge to the Legislature of the
State, in which Buchanan's friends held a
large preponderance. Upon the death of

In a letter lo bis son in 1811, he says:
" I have for many years made it a practice
to read through tbe Bible once every year.
My custom is lo read four or five chapters
every morning, immediately after. rising
from my bed. It employs about ao boor
of my time, and seems to me the most

three hours before Bush made a publio an.

always been hostile to Mr. Thurston.
This want of proper respect to his benefac

be attached to his professions of friend-

When the Indian war broke out, and
men, women and children were being
butchered by the savage foe, he contended
that the Indians were not to blame, that
the fault rested with lha whiles, who were
the aggressors, and he continued to de
nounce and ridicule those who favored the
war until ha was forced to desist through
the overwhelming power of public opinion,
thus furnishing members of Congress ar
guments and reasons for opposing tbe pay
