developed, will add another laurel to hit
brow at an artful manager and successful
tactician. Ry hit coure on the Lecomp-

' The Iota of Kansas to tin South by Don
glai't proposition to give the people a fair
opportunity to voto on their conslittitjjon,
while it may produce a little spouting from

permanently against him in that quarter.
Alt thinking men, even in South Carolina,
will regard the effort to force slavery upon
Kansas as worse thnu useless. The fact
of her unadaptndnest by toil, climate, pro.
ductions, aad all the other' et cetera el
democratic arguments against the danger
of slavery in certain localities, at also the
fact that an overwhelming majority of her
poople are free State men, niut satisfy the
most rabid of the Southern democracy that
the mot well-devised schemes of tho bor

upon Kansas, would, inure to no possible
benefit to the S uth, at the outraged people
would toon overthrow the constitution

not bo looked upon then at having acted in
the matter otherwise than at a friend of

t3T The Republicans in Gawp county
have been the first to respond to the call of
the Republican committee. Clackamas
will be on hand soon, and Yamhill will be
up and doing in due time. We hope our
friends in every county will move in the
matter immediately. If there ahould bap
pen to be a county in the Territory where
there are but three Republicans, we hope
the threo will get together, drive down a
Republican stake, and go to work. At
long as the Republicans are without an
organization, without aim or purpose oth
er than to "fight the clique," and without
unity and concert of action, we shall ac
complish nothing for the next hundred
years. There ii-n't to exceed one hundred
aud scventy.five "Old Line Whig"

have not either espoused the Repubiicaa

03" The county committee of the de
mocracy in this county having gone over
tn the Nationals, the bushitea were in a fix
about a convention to nominato delegates
to the Salem convention. Gov. Curry,
however, had tha kindness to tave the
Union by coining down and circulating a
paper for the sin natures of a " few leading
domocratu," calling a convention. The
call is said to be out in the Portland Times,
but we have not seen it. The Nationals
deny that they have any "leading" men
among them who Are to be consulted to the
neglect of the hard-handed voters in the
country. They claim to be all equal.
The National convention comes olT in thii
city March 17th.
OCT" So far as we are concerned, per.
sonally, individually, politically or edito
rially, we speak only lor T. J. Dryer and
the Oregonian; we say cmpha'ieally,
frankly and plainly that we shall never

first lime, -oppoaa I lie Salem clique dt

So tlioo democrats : who hare been
claiming that the Oregonian was about to
" tail on" to tho democracy, were mistaken.
We liavo nevrr believed for. a moment
that friend Dryer, who has always oppwed
"democracy", in every shape and form,
could be induced to " tail on" behind Dr.
Henry, even although Dr. Henry has, liko
him, betnfghting tht Salem Clique tver
since he has been tn Oregon.
X3T The lail Oregonian ny thai Mo
Bride wns elected to the Constitutional
Convention as a democrat. Wc Bride never
claimed to be a democrat in his life. He
has been a Whig up to the time of his join
ing the Republicans, tad be wat elected to
the - Convention as a Republican. In
Mumping, Yamhill county he expressly
told the people that he neither expected
nor naked any support as attaching to any
charm there might be supposed to cluster
around the word democracy, as lie had
never professed the name bad alwaya been
a Whig so long at there was a Whig par

W hg party, he stood flat-footed upon the
Republican platform. '

In the Oregonian of April 18, 1857, we
also find a Republican addreti, which
closes ith the following :
" Fallow ciiliena : The republican party
is now a permanently organized party in

and the Coixtitminn, opposed at a nation

icism, and floating over them thestsrt and
ttripea, under which many a ca'lant hero
hat bedewed the earth with his blood, to
transmit to posterity the bleating of citil
and religious lib-riy. Our platform ia
purely national, and broad enough U hold
every lover of equal laws, equal right,
and equal justice to all men, from Main to
Texas, and from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. There is no'hlng in our creed that
would debar any man from acting with us,
who holds to the principles efthe founders
ol our government. In conclusion, we
invite all to act with us, who can subscribe
to tho doctrines we embrace, and who de
sire to see the country prosper under a
wholesome administration."
If friend Dryerneedsany more " light,"
we will again recur to our files of the Ore

tW W bear that Gov. Curry denies
having j-iven the champagne supper we
alluded to last week. W take great pleas

of getting signers to "that paper," but
from what we considered reliable informa

the time wo made the statement.
A Hint. We have received a great
quantity of letters the patyear enquiring
for particular information in regard to d
vertisvments in The Argus and other bnsi
nnas mailers. Some of theso letters con.
tained postage stamps theae we have
alwaya answered with pleasure, all hough it
has been something of a tax upon our
lime. ' Others have come from persons wo
never heard of before, and contained do
stamps. For fear the writers may think
their letters have miscarried, and may un
justly charge the Postmaster with neglect
of duty, wo take tbia method of answering
them all at once :

Operations against Canton. By the

attacked and captured. It has been de

capture of Canton by the expulsion of the

should he determine that the Canton Gov

it is possible that hostilities may be con
