the opportunity of niuking a grcut Demo

Tiie editor of tho ex-organ, since he has
been nlitu to Import wlii.skjr ' warranted an
the real old rye,' has, without tho 'feur' of
tho D'mocruey before his eye, churged
that there " wasn't ten gallons of 'pure(?)
whisky' in Oregon," but that the most of it
was iuii.i-nil.lu drugged poison thut ought to
bo bniiihheil from the country by a prohib

less, ho wim ublo to Htuto his belief that

Delusion, in seizing hold of our suggestion,
lias finally got the quarrel into a shape that
begins to look like an ' issue on principle
and if ho knows the materia! ho-has to

nway at his new wedge till he gets the

At hint the rforts to burn Dement out
have been successful. About three o'clock
on Tu' tduy morning of this week, fire was
discovered in the lower room of the building
occupied by the Sons of Ti m-ronce, Odd
Fellows and Masons, adjoining the store of
Win. C. Dement k Co. Although the cit

showed a lamentable want of organization,
which should be immediately remedied, if
any good is cxectcd to result from their
exertions. Not more than sixteen foremen
should be nltowcd on tho ground at one
time. This Is absolutely necensnrv. The
wind, most fortunately, was favorable, and
had it blown in another direction, it is l.kely
that not less than a do.eu other buildings
would hnvo been consumed. Aberncthy's
brick store also served os o check to the
progress of tho fire.
In addition to the losses above mentioned,
several young men occupying rooms above
Demeut's slorc, lost nearly every thing they
hud in their rooms. Mr. D. P. Thompson
lost iicurlr $100 in coin.

The !'.oariarBcr.
When tho Harper's Kerry affair first be
came known, the Democratic press ull over
Iho country, taking their cuo from the N.
Y. Ileruhl, thought it was a god send to
tho negro-breeders, and immediately com
menced writing Ihc epitaph of poor "dead
Republicanism." A few wciks later, ufter
the smokti hud clean d up raised by the
Democratic guns over tho " VA.u k Repub
lican insurrection," us they called it, uud
they saw that their howl hadn't frightened
a single voter, but that Republicanism was
rather increasing of late, the N. Y. Herald
chenges its tunc. Hear what it said on the
eve of the New York election:
"Sedition uud treason, rebellion nnd rev
olution, already becoming rapidly popular
ized, hare reeiirrj a suihlen and trrnirit
divs impetus from the outbreak in Virginia
and Ihc trial which follows upon its heels,
creating an immense sympathy for Ihc prin
cipal actor in Ineili ainu n sympathy which
will be raised to the boiling point if his sen
tence should be carried into execution, nnd
he should die n uiartvr lo the cause. There
is nothing the Rlaek Republican revolution
ary leaders ami journalists so much desire
n ud tire tailoring so hard lo bring about as
the martyrdom of their 'saint for tlui blood
of tho martyrs is the seed of political us well
as religious sects.
From all these symptoms nnd
evidences of the popularity of revolution in
the North, there can b- little doubt of the
triumph of the Itlaek Republican revolu
tionary ticket in this State in the ensuing
week.
The effect of this will ho that
the South will lake alarm, nnd, to anticipate
the long meditated violence, will hold con
ventions iiml adopt measures lo bring about
a peaceable separation from the North.
and build fortresses along its frontier to pro
tect it against tlio lulure invnsioii of North
ern hordes."
A s New York has ijone Republican, of
course thoso " fortresses" are being built all
along the lino of the southern frontier. If
the disunion Democracy are in want of any
commanders to take charge of them, we
can spare one from Oregon. Wo have a
Cnpt. Delusion here, who is " descended
from fighting stock," and who would like
lo engage in just such nn nndertakimr ns
catching runaway niggers, if " 'twould pay."
Twenty-five dollars a month, "liquor found,"
we think will command his services, provi
ded the "fortress" has a deep cellar under
neath, entirely hidden from view, but con
necting with the outer world by a "secret
passage," into which the commander can
crawl when he hears the " northern hords"
coming.
1 kr Muprraie t'.norl.
traveling correspondent of tho
burg Kxprcss gives the followinir descrip
tion of the Judges composing our Su
premo Court, lately In session at Salem:
"Tlio Supremo Uench is composed of
Chief Justice A. E. Wait ; nnd R. P.
I!o:se, R. E. Stmtton, and P. P. Prim,
Assoeiute Justices. They make a very re
spectable JScncli. Judge Wait appears to
bo ubout fifty yean of age; of rather o short
build, has a hump in his bin k, nnd wears
spectacles. IIo has Iho reputation of being
a very good lawyer. He is certainly gov
erned by the old motto, " There's luck in
leisure." Uoiso is about forty years of age,
and wo will venture to say is n man of
tinch force of character, good judgment
und fine attainments. Stratton and Prim
aro each about 35 years of age. The for
mer is decide lly the most handsome of the
! Judges, nnd delivers himself like oil running
from a jog. Judge Prim is a very plain
man, very sensible, has a good knowledge
of the law, and a most unbounded contempt
for long winded speeches."
Sn.i.v. The Advocate has whnt appears
to us to a very silly article, abusing Gov
ernor Whiteiiker for his thanksgiving proc
lamation. Wo think Gov. Whiteaker de
serves credit for having yielded to the re
quest of our citizens nnd appointed a day ol
thanksgiving. The style of tho proclama
tion with which the Advocate fulls out suits
ns a gnat deal better, coming os it does
from a man making no pretentions to rcliir.
ion, than it would il it had been filled up
with a profusion of hypocritical cunt. The
Advocate, in the course of its column
fault-finding, says; " Whether tho thanks
nre to be rendered to Giid, or chance, or
rate, or .Mars, or Jupiter, is not intimated."
If the Advocate editor offered up a prayer
oi thanksgiving 0n tho 29th ult., we hope
somebody told him to whom thanks were to
be tendered, so that ho didn't make a mis-
tako and mako a long prayer to either
chance," " fate," " Mars," or "Jupiter."

Mis. EniTon: I sometimes) henr men talk
ing in tliis country as though the Oregon
papers were mum given to sniulty things
than pup'TS nre Iu the States. This mnv
be true of sonic of the Oregon papers', but
I have always contended that it was not
true of nil of them. If this wns tho fact,
why do intelligent men in the Slates ever
speak well of Oregon papers? I have ju1
got n letter from a friend of mine, an intel
ligent lawyer in New York, who specks iu
this way ol oin of the Oregon papers:
"I have had the reading of most of the
Oregon papers for sonic time buck. The
Argus I like very much, nnd have rend its
editorials with the greatest pleasure. I
consider .Mr. Adams ns more Hum rouni to
llic whole butch or Oregon editors put to-
" dirty dog;" but as they can ull now sec i,"-th'T. He is laboring in a great
by the Democrat that he is proud to rank
himself with "dogs," we hope they will
stop thinking hard of us for applying n name
to him which ho himself acknowledges to
bo quite appropriate.
Enw.inii Ratks. The Presidential organ
has read tho views of Mr. Rates on the
slavery question, mid with the single excep
tion of their recommending obedience to the
fugitive slave law, it " can find no difference
whatever between his platform and thut on
which Giddingsnnd Chase, Seward uud
Ranks, stand ut this moment." This is a
strango discovery, and the Constitution in.tn
ought to be rewarded in some way. Rut
it goea to show that while the list from
which the Republicans may take their Pres
idential ciindidato may now be extended by
the addition of the nams of Mr. Rates, they
ure nil substantially on the same phill'oini,
that the preference may be safely left to the
nominating convention. Whoever is taken
nnd
,'ooil cause, nnd I l;po ho will mnet with
much success. I hopn the Republicans in
Oregon will sec to it that the Argus has a
very general circulation.' Now, Mr. Ed
itor, if yon are willing lo do fo, I would
like to have you print the foregoing, j. f.
s the Editor is absent during the hitter
part of this week, wo have yielded to the
request of onr correspondent and inserted
his letter in the Argus contrary to the rule
adopted by the Editor, who is always
averse to printing such puffs.
