convention in thit city on the SOib. Lot ev

In a recent trip to Yamhill County we
found the friend of a purt government
fully arouted aa to tht imperative ntceaiity
of immtdiato action. Indeed, from all
parti of the Territory we hare private
assurances that f the friende of tba good
caute are really enlisted in the great and
good work of disteminatiug trulb among
tho ma nee and in preparing material for
the noble edifice which the Republican!
will tooneror later roar in our new State
upon the ruint of the p relent dilapidated,
wind-khaken and rotten fabric of black
democracy. ' That fabrio it now in really
a worie condition than tbe Augean liable
after Elit bad kepi three thousand caul
in it for thirty yenrt without once cleaning
it out The ttench la becoming to intoler
able thai theme who poteen moral olfacto
riet are making a ruth fur the open air,
declaring that by busking themitlves in
the aunshine reflected from a i'eet grany
eminence thty will enjoy better health,
and have a more extended or "national"
panorama spread out before them! Others
are ilill wallowing in tho mire of the old
edifice, thinking , they are laving the
Union by staying in to keep the flic oft"
the atal! fed durhamt who occupy every
inch of the rnctc. ' Every now and then
one of these poor emaciated fallows de.
claret hie , intention to leave for better
quarters, but wo to him if one of tbe ttall
fed bullocks gets after bim.' He it either
horned, kicked, or lashed with rather an
unclean bushy tail, overcome by a mouth
ful of provender, or with a promise of a
future place at the rack, till he it willing
to "sign a paper" and sink back to his old
post. One of these poor fullowa in thit
county who waa formerly one of the stall
fd himself, but who is now in the mire aa
an attendant, lately told us that the old
edifice had become to foul that the people
were bound to leave it, and that they might
as well go under Kelly's lead at any other
way, for they ' would go sooner or later.
Some of them are contented to bask on the
hill top which aervet during fair wttlher
ai a kind of "national'' observatory, while
othtrg who can't endure the old menagerie,
are disincline d to camp out under the open
canopy. Tbey think they see in the po
litical hiavena omens of a storm ahead,
when a comfortable building will be desir
able. They look upon all structures
reared on middle ground between the old
menagerie and the Republican palace as
more temporary shanties that tooneror
later must be abandoned or razed lo the
ground by the heavy cross fire from (he
two great batteries , that art lo decide the
conflict between wrong and oppression, and
true democracy aa advocated by the saint.
)y founders of tbe government.' , Let the
Republicans, then, put their house in order,
and make preparations ' for ' comfortably
housing those who1' after escaping from
Babylon will want a ! Jerusalem to flee to.
Republicans never need look for many de
serters from the ranks of tht foe at long aa
they have , no more comfortable quarters
to invite them into than an area covered
by a few slab seals under a fir tree.

. Tht "Dreadful Bcott decision wai
thrown into the tbade by decision made
by Judgt Williams oa tbe Hump in Port
land last Saturday.' Il teems lhal a quet
lion had arisen among tbe democracy of
Portland at lo the validity of the claim aet
up by the bushitet to tht democrtiio lam
pit and appurtenances. The "ntiionalt"
disputed their right, and the Chief Justice
of Oregon volunteered to take Ihe stump
and eive his opinion on tbe cttt. Hit
speech it said to bava been pretty much the
same be made al tbe Jackson Jubilee
something mora than a year ago, Is
made it very clear, In a lengthy, heary,
clumsy speech, characteristic of a man of
coarse sensibilities and plebeian associa
tions, that the clique wai the real embodi.
meal of democracy. He It ttid lo have
labored hard to convince hit beareri that he
loved ihe Territorial Printer, and the 6alem
platform, which makes tbe caucus sover
eign over tbe people. Much lime wat alto
takta up in ridiculing tbe "nationals,"
whom he ttigroaiiied at " possum demo
crats." ' Tbia name It understood to be
applied in derision of Dtlazon, who wat
tbe founder of possum democracy in Iowa.
Delaioa it figuring for tht Senate, and any
little ad captandum argument the Judge
can throw in that will act against Delazon,
while he it legging fur busbism, is probably
considered at so ranch negative capital
made for himself. Tht poor mistaken
man bat really been going down hill ever
tincc tht memorable drunken row of the
Jackson Jubilee. Before that lime, he bad
a respectable ttanding aa a man of some
personal dignity, and one sensible of ibe
obligatloni of hit position at tht head of
the judicial department of Oregon. Hit
impolitic course, as exhibited in an over
weening anxiety to further his own Inter-
estt by mixing with ibe debauched and
drunken rabble on jubilee occasions and
caucus assemblages, where be has dealt in
speeches made up of coarse abuse of po
litical oppooenta and lachrymose appeals
in behalf of caucua aovereignty, betidrt
hit constant association with vile charac
ters have til tended lo alienate the affec
tions of the virtuous and the good from
him and he bow occopiea an unenviable
portion before the people at a judicial offi
ear whose official rebel have been trailed
in slime till they are loo much soiled to
give much dignity to the bench. While he
it without tht respect of the opposition, be
it really without influence with hit own
party, and time will show that after they
have raked their chestnuts out of Ihe fire
with his paws, they will abandon the poor
man to ihe fate of Ihe plantation horse,
who after he bat been worked duwn will
be turned out lo shift for himaelf.
The Standard relate at a striking
instance of heroic daring thai a sob of Col.
Jennings lately came through tbe Rock
Inland chute in a canoe. The boy referred
to lufi hit ; canoe above the island and
came to this city on foot. If the Standard
wants an item of the kind he may just state
that we, in .company wilh J. R. McUride,
Esq., came through this chute in 1849, in
a canoe, when (he river waa higher than it
ia now, and didn't think we were doing
anything extraordinary either.
Why, friend O'Meara, we crossed Yam
hill river during tht highest flood known
fur ten years in "Chick Smith V hog
trough only Ave feel long. Although the
trough leaked like a riddle, and Ihe river
was as wide aa the Mississippi is at a com
mon stage, an old Oregonian thought no
more of audi an exploit than he would
have done of any other common oc
currence. ' 1
' tW The Clinton, in coming down the
river laat week, picked up a Hibernian on
an island near Fairfield. : The Irishman
stated that in ooming down the river wilh
a partner in a canoe they got afoul of a pile
of drift, when, in trying to get their canoe
offbii companion went under the drift and
atayed there. . lie succeeded in reaching
Ihe i'land himself, where, after spending
two days and a night without food he was
rescued by tbe Clinton. . We are indebted
to Cupt. Leon. White for tbe item. ' We
were not able lo learn (he names of either
of the adventurers. v
y,We notice an article in Czapkay'a
organ signed "Miller," and dated Sublim
ity, ia which the writer aaya that after
fighting the Salem clique for years he ia
now going to support buahiam, at he does
not like ihe "nationals," and thtnka ihe
Republicans have too much of tht abolition
element in their creed. We know not the
author of tbe letter, but can guest very
closely at to hit locality. The idea of the
" abolition element", has of course been
drawn from locofoco organs, at he never
got it from Republican papers. Some of
these men, who are now joining a party
which they despair of ever vanquishing,
will toon find themselves ia a minority par
ty, badly disgusted with ihe hated thing
they embraced In hopes it would pay, and
regret that they ever deserted their friends.
While we are sorry to lose any of our old
assoeiatea, We are glad to tee men thow
their (rue colon and and take a stand tome
where. A man might about aa well join
the oorropt caucus sovereign wing of the
black democracy, aa to etsrod out in the
old by himself, doing nothing but snarl at
everybody that would do something. The
clique it bow and thtn gaining a weak,
timorous, india-rubber-conscience tort of a
fellow,' while it loeet twenty who have
fleagb real patriotism end manly utdepee-

man who steadily and pertinently ngnit
onwtrd and upward, all the tine exerting
bit whole influence for right, It a jewel in
society. Tea such men in every county
would give the Repubilcana the Stale in

Territory ef Sierra Ntvaea.
The Washington correspondent of the
"South" writes:- ,
Tbe Mormon discussion ia oppottune for
ihe consideration of the bill to erect a new
Territory in Western Utah. I learn lhal
within the limits of the proposed new Ter
ritory of Sierra Nevada (which will be
bounded on the east by the Goose Creek
Mouotaina) ia a population of about 7,000,
whom this man Bernhieel claimi to rep
resent, but who, in fict, have no protection
or representation at all, the Utah Legisla
ture having even gone to far as to break
up the county organization under which
they had been living. By ertablishing a
Territorial Government in this country,
a large increase of population, to ihe extent
of 40,000 or so, it is aaid, would come in
from California and aetist most materially
in breaking up the stronghold of Mormon
ism. The resource! of the coun'ry of
Sierra Nevada, with its rich, magnificent
valloy, stretching almost hundreds of miles,
are deicribed at vanly inviting to Ubor and

fires, and the aggregate leas wat $15,762,
000. In 1858 there were 227 fires, aggre
gate lota 936,150,000. The loss in De
cember thut far hat been much lest than
in any other month, namely, 9433,000,
Add to tho above the amount of property
deatroyed by fires whore in each instance
tbe loss waa lest than 920,000, and the
aggregate would be increated le probably
