The lssaea af the r retell Day.
The greatest theological debater on the
continent, upoa his return Lome from a
17 days' debate in Kentucky, told ua that
daring the debate a lawyer said to him,
" Why do you theologians exhibit eo much
more feeling, and make ao much harder
tight in jour controversies, than we politi-
-ciaoa dot" The reply given to the law.
jn waa, "Because the takes are so much
greater. You contend for temporal mat
ter! of mere ' expediency we for that
which alTecta us through eternity."
This contending for matters of mere ex
pediency was properly said of politicians of
that day, and pelitioal controversies of that
period were conduct ed.in a manner that gave
-aa index of the minor importance of the
stakes. Everybody sees that there is now
much more of earnest feeling, often bor
dering oo acrimony, and a retort in foci to
all manner of weapons by politicians in
writing aad speaking which gives to polit
ical discussion an entirely different charac
ter from what ihey had ten years ago.
There is a great deal of what some people
call "fighting" going on il is seen largely
developed in Congressional speeches in the
columns of all the political journals, and
even Presidential message, diplomatic pa
pers, official correspondence, and some
times in pulpit efforts, producing , what
some term "political preaching. " The
reason of this change, although it is appa
rent to eveiy body that n change has ta
ken place, is yet a mystery to many short
sighted people. The reason is found in
the answer given to the lawyer at Lexing
ton the itukes aro greater now limn ihey
used to be. The time was when political
issues pertained to mere matters of expe
diencythe result of the conflict, termi
utile either way, could at most affect a sin
gle individual to the amount of a few dol
lars. Financial policy, and not ethical
principles, made up tho inventory of all
that was at issue before the people.
"While the arguments on both aides were
addressed to acquisitiveness, neither party
-called upon il members lo endorse that
which was abhorrent to the moral faculties.
Justice, honor, and fair dealing, as well as
the inviolability of the constitution, tho
necessity of the perpetuity of the Union,
and a religious veneration for the enuncia
tions of the Declaration of Independence,
were alike recognized by the creeds of all
parties. Popular sovereignty was every
where venerated by political lender.-", and
the inviolate rihl of the people to be ful
ly represented through their agents, when
in the exercise of powers delegated by a
constituency, was considered a birthright
of the American citizen, and no arch dem
agogue however he might bo secretly tinc
tured , with European despotism, dare
etretoh forth his polluted hand to overturn
this ark of human liberty.
But a change of issues has brought a
change of controversial tactics. All petty
Issues that formerly divided political par
tin have been at length lost sight of, and
3n their place have arisen moral oaea.
The inalienable rights of man, pure jus
tice and popular sovereignty, based npon
morality and popular intelligence, are now
arrayed on the oue side, against a despot
ism that ignores inalienable rights, tram
.pies on justice, scoff at morality, jeers at
religion, substitutes caucus sovereignty
and border ruffianism for democracy, and
bases all its hopes of success upon popu
lar ignorance and an atheistical public an
imus, wrought up to a working point by
misrepresentation, suppression of truth,
and downright hard lying. We have a
party in this Union (and just here let eve
ry man read carefully, for we state wbai
ia every word true) some of the leaders of
which have sneered at the Declaration of
Independence as a "political abstraction,"
(Breckenridge) aa "only meant lo apply aa
between oa aad tbo people of Great Brit
aln" (Douglas), and "a self evident lie"
(Pel ill) a party, one of the prominent
organs of which goes for selling poor white
people into slavery (N. Y. Day Book),
and one of which calls the working classes
"small fwted farmers and greasy mechan
ics:" a party the present leading organ of
which goes for trampling all free State
constitutions into the dust, and making
slavery national (Wailiingtoa Union),
parly which numbers among , lis leaders
open and, avowed disunlouisl who are
ready upon a small pretext to trample the
Constitution under foot and diolv the
Union, (Toombs, Keilt, Orr,. J.fl". Davis,
Brown, 6Ve, dto. ;) a party , which by a
long aeries of small maneuvering through
imported official", baa tried la crush out
ihe liberties of the peeple of a ai-tar Ter
riloryTand place" an overwhelming majori.
ty at the feet of a ruffian minority, and
which is new through their present execu
live and a majority of their Represents
tivei in Congress, trying to excuse itself
by a technical quibble, worthy only of a
seven by nine pettifogger, for forcing an
obnoxious pro-slavery constitution down
the throats of an unwilling people, and at
tho same time mocking Heaven, insulting
the American people, and blaspheming the
names of the aainted defenders of true do
mocrscy, by pretending that this outrsge
is perpetra'ed in harmony with the "prin
ciples of popular sovereignty 'a party
i hat has mora than two hundred orgaas
which are ready to howl with a kiola cbo
rus from Maine lo Texas, and from Texas
to Oregon, upon the track of a poor sniv
eling office seeker who dares to bolt the
nominee of a regular caucus for a Five
Point constable, and not one of them dare
rebuke as undemocratic the Day Book's
proposition to enslave white people, the
Union's onslaught upon State sovereignly,
fire eating secessionist!!, or the effort lo
nullify the Declaration of Independence
and crush out liberty ia the Territories :
a parly whose organs everywhere show a
sympathy for wrong and violence, and by
sneaking innuendoes and slimy diatribes
about "political pawns," are trying to ua
dermine all religions influence, and by
sncetingat the idea thai man. ia actuated
by oiher than "paying" considerations en
deavoring lo debase man by blunting the
moral perceptions and stifling conscience:
and here in Oregon we have one faction of
this same party, which by ita organ (Cz.np
key 'a) devotes its democratic labors to pub
lishing libels on virtuous females, adding
to Gardner memorials, circulating know,
nothing petitions in time of war, libelling
the best men in Oregon, and boldly advo
cating caucus sovereignty, which reduces
Ihe parly voter ton levePwith a Kentucky
cornfield negro ao far as sovereignty is con
cerned. These, honest reader, are some
of the issues of modern times. Are you a
man and have your feelings ever revolt
ed at black democracy f Of course they
have, and you now aee why the political
battle waxes hot the ilaket are great.
Human liberty and every thing sacred and
dear to the patriot, philanthropist and
Christian are at issue.
3T The bushitea held their county
convention lo appoint delegates to the Sa
lem convention, in ihi city, last Saturday.
The National also held a precinct meet
ing the same day. Our curiosity led us in
to both conventions. The Nationals had
quite a crowd, which consisted mostly of
the hard-handed working people, who
seemed animated with a determination to
crush out caucus sovereignly, and restore
the re'gn of popular sovereignty. Col.
Kelley was chairman, and from hisexhor
lation to the Nationals to go Id work in
earnest in pushing forward the "good
cause," we judge he intends to do little of
the work himself.
The Nationals having adjourned, we
concluded to look in upon the bushites
who held the court house. The delegates
ocoupird three or four benches in front of
Gov. Curry, tho chairman. There was a
vety slim attendance, and we couldu't help
contrasting the appearance of this with
the "national'1 crowd. While in the latter
we had seen the hard handed mechanic
and day laborer, here wo saw the soft
handed official with gloves en, and the
dapper gentlemen , with broadcloth, with
here and there a specimen of the "warnut
bark" genus, who bad been "sucked in" to
give the meeting a "democratic" appear
ance we suppose. . On the whole it was
the sorriest looking concourse we have
seen for years. Every man's countenance
seemed the very picture of wo, and if we
had seen Judge Williams in the chair in
stead of Gov. Curry, we ahould have at
once supposed that the crowd must be un.
der trial for some crime, as they had much
more the appearance of prisoners or mourn
ers at a funeral, than members of a pelitio
al convention.
The "resolutions," which had been care
fully prepared beforehand, were full of
sound and democratic fury, signifying
nothing but love of Jeems Buchanan and
i he democratic party generally. Not
word was said about "caucus sovereignty,"
and the whole set wa gotten up with a
view to ''taking the wind out of ihe sails of
the softs." The house waa pretty well
filled with Republicans and Nationals, who
we are proud to say behaved themselves
with decorum occupying tho ontside area
of the room, and showed no diststsition to
"crowd the mourners." Our citizens In
fact aro noted for peace, sobriety, and a
law abiding disposition. When In Mer
inons held a meeting here every body
treated them with respect, allowed them
to proceed uninterrupted in their exercises
and shewed no symptoms of monocracy ;
and wo arejjroud to say they allowed even
a bushite coowentioa in their midst with
out permitting their righteous indignation
lo be aroused to an uncontrollable point.
It must apeak well for lbs character of our
city abroad,
'tw Br tearing dnwa the Missouri
compromise lint and opening up all Ter
rilories to slavery agitation, il was ihoughi
by ihe democracy that il would be a mas
ter stroke of policy in building up the par.
ty. Tho slavery ' Issue that ha been
made in consequence of il has killed the
parly In Kanaa, where il has been intro
duoed merely for the sake of agitation, and
not with any expectation, as haa beeo a
hundred limes affirmed by democratic ora
lor and organs, that lbs "soil, climate and
resources" would permit slavery logain a
footing ihere. Oregon is the only Terri
tory besides Kansas that has been convuls
ed by a slsveiy agitation in consequence
of the repeal . of ihe Compromise. In
Kansas more than three fourths of tho peo
ple have in consequence put democracy
under foot. In Oregon, whero the ques
tion was aeedlessly raised by the democ
racy, it has laid ihe foundation for breaking
up Ihe party. The present split in the par
ly haa ita solo origin in Ihe slavery que
tion. ' With the agitation drummed up by
ihe democracy came the Occidental and
other politicians to take advantage of the
pro slavery sentiment and nurture il Into
what has unavoidably grown into an apple
of discord in the paly. A worm has been
hatched out which will gnaw at the roots
of the democratic vine till it withers and
dies. We suggest these views to Delazon
Smith and Judge William, hoping they
will think seriously about it and see where
they are drifting. .

The Salem "conventionera" came down
from Salem on the Enterprise last Thurs
day. Grover was nominated for Congress
without opposition. For Governor there
were three ballots cast, as follows:
First ballot Drew 20, Curry 20, John
Whitakerof Lane 22, Lovejoy 4 (!!!)
Second ballot Drew 29, Curry ID,
Whitaker 27, Bell 1, Lov.-joy y 0 (?)
Third ballot Whitaker fi, Curry 17,

Whitaker was declared iho nominee.
For Secretary of State Luciua Ileal h
of Tola 40, G.E.Cole 25.
For Treaurer J. D. Boon 44, G. E.
Cole 25, l'urdy2.
Boon was declared ihe lucky buhite.

Gibb-2d, I. N. S.nith-3d, flyer Jack-
son 4th, C. R. Meiiigs.
Il seems tho clique has used Curry,
Lovrjny, Drew, and T'Vaiilt in diumming
up ihe party, and (hen thrown them all
overboard, just as we expected. Lovejoy
is said to be a good deal down in the
mnuth, but stands it with as good a grace
as possible, while Drew, poor fellow, cam
near boo boo ing right out in meeting.
Il is said that they added a few planks In
the old Salem platform, filled up with a
great deal of senseless rant about democ
racy, besides copying in substance an ed.
itorial from C.apkay'a organ explaining
caucus sovereignty, and denying that it
really means what it says. In all their
nominations, they refused to nominate a
sinjjle candidate who was not a caucus sov
ereign democrat dyed in the wool.
Tke fact is, this liberty. haling wing of
ihe block democracy have tried to bait
their Irops so as to gel as many simple-
minded into it as possible, but At long us
the carcass ef Bush dangles just inside the
deadfall, we don't think many democrats
about here will go into it till they smell
around il several limes. All that do go
in will come out like the fox in the fable,
minus a rudder.
(r Since the Salem convention ad
journed, ihe disappointed office-seekers are
now making a general rush fur the U.S.
Senatorship. There will probably be two
hundred and seventy-eight applicants (aa
near as wo can count them upon our fin
gers), prominent among whom will be Del
azon Smith, Williams, Curry, Drew, Love
joy, T'Vault, Nesmith, Waymire, Ben
Stark, Ilibben, Dolph Hannah, and P. G.
Stewart, the leader of the party in Clack
amas county.
05T It ia said by those who have seen
him, that much of Lovejoy' beard haa
turned gray since the Salem convention.
We once read of a man who wa ao troub
led by the loss of treasure by the wrecking
of a vessel, that his hair turned as white
as a sheep's in one night. Our friend
Lovejoy' hair will be whiter than any of
Caon's South Downs" before ha gW .

This same Boyakin is trying to make a
split in the democratic parly by pegging
away at the Douglas horn of the Kansas
policy. The IVnnaylvanian, Buchanan s
home organ, and the Union, tho Adnilui
tration organ, with the other Admluiatra
tion organs in the States are denouncing
Douglas and his adherents as "black re-
publican,'! 'trai'ors.'and "disorganizer in

of the Pugni Sound Herald, a new paper
printed at Sluilacoom, W. T. ' The paper
is neutral in politics, presents a fair ap
pearance, anil promise lo bo a good fami

From the Herald we learn (hat the
steamer Traveller was lost on her way
from Port Townsend io Port Gamble on
Pugei Sound, with the Captain, Thus. Sla
ter, Purser II. Fuller, and Mr. Stevens, a
passenger, together with a firrmsn and
deck hand, names unknown. Mr- War
ren, engineer, and two Indians awam
ashore. .The Pleamer had anchored near
shore in consequence of very heaty wea
ther. After nine o'uKk at night the
steamer made two or three heavy rvlls
when she was found to have sprung a leak,
and was fast filling. She went down in a
few minutes.

Besides all this we notice a general de.

mention, as among the indications of re

we lately saw Mr. sawing wood the
first time we have seen the lazy rascal do

XT John Denny, Esq., who has been ab
sent in Washington Territory for some
lime, passed through this place on his way
home in Marion county, last Thursday.
Mr. Denny ia one of the soundest of the
sound Republicans, and wean glad he has
come back to help us fight the bailies of
our country's cause.
03" Our friend Joseph MeMiHen re
turned to Oregon on the last steamer, ac
companied by his wife. Mr. McMillen
left here for the States anme time since,
but like most people who have resided long
in Oregon, he could not content hiim-elf in
that cold inhospitable clime beyond the
Rncky Mountains. After spending the
winter in Milan, Ohio, he started back for
Oregon, having sold out all his possession
east. We wish we had a thousand more
such citizens from the Buckeye Slate as
Mr. McMillen. .
