Nearly 300 passengers came up on tho
last steamer from California, en route for
tho Frnzier's river gold mines. Ourc'ty
has been visited by numbers of them who
.are "prospecting" for an outfit to the mines.
We conversod with one man who is hunt
ing work, lie said he bad been to Pugct
Seund, and found the difficulties so great
in gelling to the mines by that route, and
the prospects so bud for gathering gold be
fore the water full be had concluded to go
to work in Oregon. Another old man roll
ed into tewn on foot, diiving bis pack horse
before him. Hi said he Lad mode bis
way from California in this manner, a dis
tance of 000 miles, and nfier going as far
into tho mountains towards the mines as it
was possible to grt he bad called a halt at
tho Cascade, and after advising with those
best able to giro a correct opinion, ho had
conc'nded to forego the dangers ami diffi
culties of the journey for the present, and
wait for bolter prospects:
The ruget Smnd papers publish letters
from " reliable nin" in the mines ho are
making from $5 to $ 8 00 a day on tho river
bars. The gold is very fine, and quicksil
ver is needed to save it. The Indians
showed them coarso specimens weighing
two dollars each that they had procured
high up tho river. Those who bud gone
up the river had been driven bck by the
Indiana, and the miners had all got togeth
er on a bar and gnno to work, wailing for
an immigration before they could venture
further. Provisions weru very high and
scarce. They nil think that when the
water fulls the mines will pay, but that will
not be before August or Seplrmber. In
the mean time, lot Oregoninns attend to
their business (if they have any) and wait
for something farther to turn up.

Why 1 Wave l.etl (he Democratic Tarty.
Silvehton, April 27th, 1858.
Ed. of Ahous As 1 have always here
toforo acted with the democratic party,
and been a strenuous advocate of its usages
lam fiequently asked w by I do not now
support ii. In giving a few reasons why
I have Irft Iho parly, 1 wish it distinctly
understood that 1 cherish the greatest re
spect for such conservative, men as are yet
honestly supporting t lust parly under the
erroneous impression that itisstill the same
conservative organization that it w as years
ago. The leaders of tho party in my hum
ble judgment have beenme arrogant, tyr
annical and corrupt, they aro constantly
cenniving at corruption and frauds upon
election, besides upholding and supporting
men in office who are tyrants at heart, men
who by fraud and ballot box stuffing have
onjeavored to wrest from the bands of the
people their dearest and most sacred righif,
and have then refused lo enquire into
the ground of the people's grievances,
when petitioned. Like ancient Tyre, the
democratic parly bas nothing left of its for
mer greatness but lb a name. Where are
Jefierson, Mailivon, Monroe, Jackson and
along lino of other patriots and statesmen,
once the ration's prido who supported the
doctrine orequal rights the greatest good
to the greatest number, nnd that the peo
ple bad n right to say what sort of govern
ment should be instituted among them I
Their principles and practices seem alike
lo bave lost their influence over the modern
leaders of the parly. These old states
men woulj never have abandonded the
" time benored" policy of the government
ia regard lo tbe territories to accommo
date either the petty whining! of abolition
ists or the silly bluster of secession slave
breeder!. These patriots nre dead, nnd the
principles of tUmecraey have been byried
with them by tbe leader of modern democ
racy. That the modern democratic party
is n sectional party Is almost too plain for
argument. Up lo within few yean eg
the party was careful to keep clear of all
entangling alliances between the ext rem
ikta both of the North and Sitmh upon tbe
slavery question. About the time (ho old
Whig party was discovered to be on the
decline great controversy a'osc upon the
slavery question, over new territory which
had been acquired. During this fearful
conflict the northern wing of the democracy
gave in lo the southern wing. Thus the
democraiio party becumo an exireina pro-
slavery parly, and proceeded lo tear down
the compromise! and foreshadow political
judicial oniniwns that would render nuga
tory nil of the old slavery resiriclion enact
ments of the founders of the government
Tbe conduct of that party towards ibe peo
pie of Kansas is all lint could have been
expected from any foreign desptt in n
bloody crusade against popular rights.
Freedom in its conflict with the pro.lnvery
party led by Southern firs eaters and as
tisted by Northern doujthfuoi! ns their al
lies, l.as come well nih losing everything
in Kannas, and even our fire sides in the
tree States are threatened by late ominous
"opinions' of tho Washington Union and
oilier dimocralic papers. Our conxtitu
lioual rights nre lobe trampled upon, and
popular sovereignty will bvceinen byword
unlets the friends of fierdom of all parlies
unite nnd hoist a banner inscribed with
" Death lo politicul tyrants everywhere."
Lei slavery flourish as best it can wbero ii
already exists, but let free territory be sa
creu lo the white laborer, ihe present
Administration in in b'iud zeal le prove
itself a proslavery party has even removed
men from office in Missouri who favored
tho emancipation project which has recent
ly been set on foul in that Slate. Post
masters in every part of iho North have
even been removed for as-tertinir with
Douglas that the people of n Territory
ought lo bo allowed le vote on their Con
siitulion. The party baa declared that ii
is "neither slavery nor anti-slavery" but
al the same time Judgu Williams kille
himself politically wiih bis own party by
publishing a strong, outspoken, manly free
State ariitle. The platform on which their
candidates are now runniiit; ia as ultra
pro slavery as any fire cater could desire,
and yet tho wool so completely covers tbe
eyes of some pretended democrats that they
cannot see it. Their candidate for Gov
ernor toted for slavery, and declares his
wish to bo able to buy and aell his fellow
men. (J 'over, who pretends to be a free
State man, would have about as much in
fluence among the fro eaiing democracy
in Wahington as thai much lir bark
Their Senators fiom Oregon, if they should
succeed in electing llieni, will bow down to
the lash of their Southern drivers and do
everything they are commanded to do, to

Clay deemed tho foulest blot on our nation

DEATH OF BENTON!
THOMAS HART BF.MTOIf ON III! DEATH BED.
Crridrs Ike N. Y. Tribune)
W a ill l no to, April 0, 1PS8
Colonel Benton is dying. His disease,
cancer of the bowels, has made such "o
grrss llial he cannot survive much hxipe
lie suffers extreme pain, and in exhausted
to almost ihe lait degree of physical pre
tration. Bui his mind is a cl ar and as
powerful as ever, and the high, resolute,
Hunan spirit of ihe ulJ sinw-srniin slrug
gins with indomitable energy nnd fortitude
against sickness and weakness, and th
awful presence of ihe king of terrors.
He dies in harness, working lo ihe lnt
for bis country and mankind. An old and
in'iuiate friend, from Mis-ouri, coll
upon him this morninc, Benton ws In
bed, scarcely able to move hand or foot, and
notable to speak much above n whimper
But he was hard at work, closing up hi
Abridgement of the Debates of Congress,
which be has brought down to 1 850, to the
passage of iho compromise measures, . II
was dictating iho clm-lnc chapter of th
work. His daughter, Mr. Jones, sitting
besiJe the bed, received it, sentence
sentence, wbiipcred in her ear, and re
pealed it aloud to her hukband, who wrote
it down. It was then read over lo Colonel
Bvutwn, nnd received his correct inns, made
wiih aa much anxious particularity ns if it
were the maiden-work of a young author.
Resting n few minutes from bis tank
Col. Deiilon entered into conversation with
his Missouri friend. lie told him that, in
reviewing l be events of 1830, he wns glad
to find that the animosity of the past bad
died out in his heart, nnd he was not only
ready but eager In do justice to his forme
rivals and opponent-. He spoke with
much feeling of Mr. Clay, to whose merits
and services he bad awarded the highest
praise in what be was writing about ill
compromise period ol IS5 1, lie dwell
particularly on the service, the great ser
vice, Mr. C. had rendered to the Republic
at that time by baflling and putting clown
the traitorous secessionists of the Sou'li
who were seeking to des'rny the Union
and plunge tbe country into cuil war for
their own selfish and Hinhiiinus purposes,
The inspiration of this theme fired the
languid blood and reanimated for a mo
ment tbe failing frame of ihe dying patriot
In energetic whispers, he told his vUiier
that the same men who bud sought lo de
stroy the Republic in 1830, were at the
bottom of this accursed Lecompton bui
ness. Among the greatest nf his consola
tions in dying was iho consciousness that
ihe House of Representatives had bsflled
these treasonable schemers, and put the
heels of the people en tbe net-k of tho
traitors. Few events in our history had
given him so much satisfaction as tho de
feat of Lecompton. He varmly praised
the intrepid nnd incorruptible Douglas
Democrats.
In taking leave of bis fiiend, Col. Ben
ton said that, although there was much in
lis life that he regretted, he could hnn
estly feel proud on his death-bed of his de
votion to his country, in wheso seruca he
had never been faithless or negligent
His Drath Prematurely Announced.
Friday, April 0. An unfounded rumor nf
Col. Benton's death wns circulated this
morning, upon the. strength of which the
House adjourned. His condition is about
ihe same as heretofore, though he is evi
duntly sinking. He is extremely weak,
having sob-dated on milk and ice cream for
weeks. lie dictated several private let.
lure in tho forenoon, and this afternoon
was tranquil and easy. He bad been at
tended all along by his daughter, Mrs. Ca
rey Jones, who resides with him. An
other daughter, Mrs. Jacob, of Kentucky,
arrived yesterday. His two remaining
children nro not here, Mrs. Fremont, hav
ing gone to California, afier parting wi'h
him a month ago, not apprehending that
he was in a criiirul state, and Madame
Bnileau, being in Calcutta, tbe wife of the
French Conaul-Grnernl. At this time, his
grand child lies in the room overhead al
tbe point of death. Thus exiremes meet
Before ihe members separated a le'ter
was read, dated yesterday, written by Col.
Benton to Senator HouMon and Mr. Jones
of Tennessee, saying that in the event of
his death ho exprcss-ly desires no notice to
be taken of it no rule of either House
would justify such a proceeding, and, be
sides, ii was contrary to his convictions ex
pressed many years ago.
Ill Dkatm. Saturday, April 10, 1858.
I Col. Benton's spirit look its flight gently
ami tranquilly this morning at about thirty
minutes past seven o'clock. He was con
cious and calm. He was 78 years and 27
days old when he died.
The supposed time of Mr. Benton's
death was 7 : 33, though he glided off so
gently that it may have been a few minutes
earlier. Last evening, when Mr. Apple
ton called, he was too exhausted lo con
verse, and merely signified " lo morrow."
At times through the night he was seized
with spasmodic pains of great violence,
otherwise he rested gently. His last con
oected words were about 2 th's morning.
when Jacob, his son-in-law, who was sil
ling op," asked bow he felt, lo which he
faintly whispered, 'Comfortable and can-
teni."
About 4 o'clock this morning, Jones, an
other son-in-law, relieved Jacob, and in an
hoar afterward his children and familv
era nt the bedside till ihe final Simmons.
A few minmet Ufere hie death the nurse I
applied ice to his lip-, which were con
sciniinly moved fur the acceptable refresh
ment.
His sustenance for three weeks past was
hardly sulliciriil far an iufuiil.and il may In-
that his life was prolonged by the effort of
the will onlv. His con. liiui'ion was sound
in every resj-ect, nnd tho disease which
precipitated his death was strictly local, be
iug cancer of the rectum.
The body will be immediately conveyed
to St. Louis. The youngest urandchild,
snu of Mr. J jnes, died early this morning
( April llth.) Thus auo and childhood go
the lung journey together.
Mr. Huclmnan culled lust evening lo pay
a visit cf condolence to Ibe family, tinting
bad n brief and gratifying inter iew with
Col. Benton on Friday afternoon, iu which
he hitter assured the President thul be
died at peace with nil ihe world.
Mo.ndat, April 12. Mr. Renton's fune
ral service was simple and unpnAin,
There was no pageant nf any sort. The
President, members of the Cabinet, Judges
of the Supreme Court, ihe diplomatic
corps, a Urge representation from the S a
atO nnd House, dinliiigiiished oflieers of the
Army and Navy, and eminent civilians,
attended.
During the interview wiih the President,
Cd. Renton exhoried bim iu rely upon ihe
Divine support and guidance, and not upon
that of men, who would deceive him.
(Cr During the late revital al Lagrange,
Mo. n boy aevenieen years old, somewhat
noted ns n theatrical performer, united
with the church and commenced preaching.
He preaches without notes, nod frequently
neglects to select his text till be reaches the
pulpit. In lwu months he hits delivered
over fifty discourses to crowded houses.
and two hundred and forty persons have
been converted under his preaching. He
is called the Spurgeon nf America. Peo
ple every where flock lo hear him, and the
oldi-st veterans say I hey never heard such
limiting eloquence from the lips of man
fore. NoUouf his discourses have yet
been alike in point uf argument or cornpo
kitiun.
A. CARD.
To Ibe Republican Voters or Orrtnn.
The undersigned having been nomina
ted by tbe Republican Slate con vent inn re
speciivcly for the nflices of Representative
to Cmgrea and Governor, under our Slslr
constitution, nnd bating come to the con.
elusion ihat ihe continuance nf our names
as candidates was, in the present cninliliwi
nf our local polities, inadvisable, luke lhi
meihod of announcing that fact, and nc
company ing it wuh some of the reasons
which superinduce this course. Attention
to matters of personal cuicern prevented
our participation in tho cnuvuss before the
euple uctil recently, and upon entering it
wu found that the impression bad become
general that a portion, if not nil ihoe com
posing the R-quiblican ticket bad, or weuld
be, withdrawn. This iinpress'on has been
so industriously piup'iguled by interested
pariies, especially in Southern Oregon, as
no doubt to deprive, the ticket of its princi.
pal support in t hut section.
Questions of temporary import nnd local
consequenoe have in other portions of ihe
country almost wholly engrossed the pub
lic attention, nnd many Republican sir m( il
disposed to postpone tbe enntHst f princi
ple until some more pressing and iiumedi.
ale evils existing in mir lot til politics shall
have been redressed.
To continue in ihe field under these un
favorable ciicuiiisiatioi-s, would, in our
pinion, by presenting nn unfair iinlicuihjii
f Republican strength, lie injurious to the
future interests of the nariv. while. ib
i
rengtheuing and consolidation ofthe or
ganization the principal object lo be ob
tained at the present time iu il.e differ.
cut counties, may bo as fully accomplished
by the proper diligence as by the cnlin.
mce of our names before the people.
With no abatement of iiilereM in the
Republican cause, with the same desire lo
d the final triumph of Republican urin-
ples w hich induced us to advocate the
necessity of the organization, nnd nccepl
nominations made by it; wiih an uttler
loathing of Ihe avowed principles of the
Oregon democracy, with the hope thai Ri
iiuuiiimin will preserve lllelllM'lves iree
from all connection with these corrupt prin
ciples; choosing when they desire lo vole,
and have en candidate of their own, those
men in whose hands they feel they can niot
safely entrust the responsibilities of gov-
eminent, and with the faith lhal another
contest will find all who earnestly desire a
reform in our politics local and national
rallying under the Republican banner to
the support of Republican principle, and
our sincere thanks to tboso who bonor.-d
us with their confidence in giving us riotn
inations, we decline lo b voted fur in ihe
coming election.
