The Democratic purty, now in two divisions, hare principles the first devotion to the Interests of theshivchohling Stiit.-a which interests embruco the spread of human slavery and the placing upon au eipuility Muck and white luborc r the imik Inif of labor disreputable. Tho other sec tion of Democracy ulso favor the spr of shivery, If tho people wiint it spread having no desire lo spread slavery or sprem! freedom leaving tin so thing entirely with the people. The Republican purty, os we suppoMf, oppose shivery from the principle that it degrade the bluck race wrongfully mid injure the whito r.ieo by making it n race of muster and tyrant ovira peopl or another color. They oro not abolition it, a I charged upon them because they b lieve In every Slate controlling it do mestic institution or slavery without inter ference from other Slates. They believe that slavery d not go into the Territo ries by virtue of the Constitution uml that when the people of a Territory form a Statu government, they should exclude slavery, if they choose to do so. They ure opposed to shivery, a wurring against the principle of human liberty; but, under the pccul.ur circumstance under winch our Government wu formed, they arc disposed lo sustain with fidelity its compromises on the subject of shiery. If these sketches do not embrace the distinctive principles of tho three parties into which the people of Oregon are now divided, wo do not understand the subject. There is one other principle embraced by all the parties that is, n desire to obtain the ollices and emolument of office in every branch or the State government, nud of the General Government so fur a they urc dis pensed here. Now it is obviou tlmt ull these pnrties can defend und elucidate their principles without the abuse or either. Kspeciully would it seem to bo true tlmt the newspu pi rs or ti e pnrties need not shock the inoml sense of the community by the use or lnn- guuge toward their opponents which would not be tolerated in decent society. Arc wo to suppose that the coarseness and vul garity of language used by the leading or gans of pnrties fairly represent the sent t- mentsj tho chnriictcr, and the degree or courtesy nnd refinement which belong to the pnrties? Is it possible tlmt the mana gers r the lending organ or parties be lieve that their success ns editors depends upon the a tv.ige ferocity or their editorials? We believe there ia a moral principle in the voters or Oregon a respect Tor them selves, a regard to their families, to the ris ing generation of young men and women which docs not regard with approval the evils here complained of. If they do, whut n picture does the past rxliil.it to the peo ple ol other .States to new cm grunts in this of the moral and political character of our population? If " we could see ourselves ns others sec us," wo should be ashamed of the newspaper organs of parti- sail ollicc-liuntcrs, w li cit seik to elevate themselves only by rendering their oppo nents mutinous. These men, ir their statements arc trim or each other or even half true instead or being pel mitted to send their pestiferous productions to the people ir they had jus lice done thcni, would be in the penitentiary, or perhaps in iucbrinle asylums. It is un fortunate (or these men that they know each other, und enn tell the truth of each other, if they will. The masses of the people nro honest. Th arc not looking for office. They wish to do right ns honest citizens. They know tlmt the government is made up and con trolled, or ought to be, by men like them selves. They feel that the government is designed for the public good. Ami they ought to examine tho diameters or these men who nro scattering moral pollution over the land, nnd ascertain whether they lire the men lcst qualified to represent the moral, the religious, the social, and honest political sentiments of the people of Oregon. r.uiT Tuck. One of the Southern papers which advocates Jo Lane' claims to the Presidency says that "Lane knows no North, no South, no Last, and no West." This is just three-fourths true, which is more than we can generally sny of statements in tlmt class of papers. Gen. Lane knows na North, nn Last, and no West, but the un principled doiigli-fucc knows a South, and Hint's about tho extent of the traitor's knowledge. Sijiii.kamkkx Mixes. Copt. J. D.

Since the session of Congress lift com menced, the threat of disunion have been again inude by tho Illuck Democratic leud cr, oml we suppose we ahull bo treated lo tin kind of stulT till uftcr tho rresiueutui election. Already Ims the threut been mad. repeatedly in Congress by leading Democrats thut they will dissolve tho In ion if 0 Republican President Is elected next November. W e ore glud to see, how ever, thut thi stulo cry hn scared not the first republican, but thut tiny continue voting sleadilv for Sherman for Spcukcr, Wo liko whut old Sam Houston, the hero of San Jacinto, once said in n speech iu the Senate, on the subject of disunion, threat of which were constantly made by the D.-iiio rucy if the Lecomptoii swindle wasn't passed. " I tell you," said lie, " thut if disunion i attempted, blood will flow Iml it will bo tho blood of Irullnrs lllld it will commence iu thi very Hall!" Hon. A. Lincoln, of Illino', iu a lute speech ot Leavenworth, Kansas, made tho following pointed and sensible remark on tho ques tion of disunion. They are nn expression of Repiiblicitn feeling generally: " Rut von Democrats are for the Union; and you greatly fear that the success of the Republican would dostroy tho Union. Why ? Do the Republican declare nituinst the I inoitf Nothing I.ko it. Your own sateinent of it is, thut ir the lilaek Itapublicans elect a President, you irnn't ilumlit! You will break up the Union. That will be your net, not our. To justify it, you must show that our policy gives you just cause for such desperate ac tion. Can you do that? When you at tempt it. you will find thut our policy is ex actly the policy of the men who made the I. mon. Nothing more niul nothing less. Do vou rcullv think you are justified to break up the government rath'-r than have it administered as it wns ndinin:slered by Washington, und other good uml trrent men who made it, ami first administered it? If you do, you aro very unreasonable, ami more rtiimnable virn cannot and will mil submit Id you. While you elect Presidents, we submit, neither breukiiigiinrutteiiiptiug to break tin the IVon. If we s' nil con stitutionally elect o President, it will be our duty to sco that yon also submit. Old John Rrown has just been executed for treason nguinst a Mute. We cannot ol ject, even though lie agreed Willi us thinking slavery wrong. 'Unit cannot ex cuso violence, bloodshed, uml treason. It could avail him nothing tltut he might think himself right. So, if coustiliiliouuliy we elect n President, and therefore von under- tnke lo destroy the Union, it will hr cur duty to dial ici'i ton an old John Jirotrn has hren ilcat with. We sluill try to do our duty. We hope and believe that in no section will a tnuj..rity so net as to render such extreme measures necessary." Secretary Siuuloo a lUpulillran. Mr. Stanton, Buchanan's Secretary of Kansas under Gor. Walker, addressed the citizens or Leconiptnn, Kansas, Oct. 2(it iu a calm, dignified uddrcss, in which, nfter recounting the perils and sufferings endure liy the citizens of Kansas, brought on bv Buchanan's support of border ruffian inv sion, he told the people, that victory hnd been fairly won by the Republicans, and that tho rule of government belonged by right to that party, uml he should help them retain thut rule by voting for every man on their ticket from the highest to the lowest. Ho was a southern man, but could not go with the present party falsely culled Democratic n party which was now ruled by southern fire-eaters ns with a rod of iron He said tlmt. these southern extremists had been the real authors of all Buchanan crimes against liberty. Tito Democrat: party wns rapidly drifting towards n rcvi val of the African slave trade, lie hud til ways been opposed to tho t-Iavo trade on political, economical, and moral grounds He regarded it ns absolutely necessary to overthrow the Democratic party to save the government, and as he believed the Re publican party to bo the one best culcuhitct to do this lie should act with that party hereafter. Insane Yet. Delusion's kinsman, Ger- rit Smith, is still insane. This is to be re gretted as ho is now unable to rave through the papers nt the Republican pnrtv. We notice that Delusion's paper has fallen offn good deal in Democratic interest since it has been unable to reprnt any more or the stalo slang or his crazy kinsman. When ninaticism goes to seed in this Smith family people call them crazy. If Delusion's Tanat- icism isn't ripe-, it's mighty near the " roam ing car." Almanac foh 1800.

H'U ' ' lie doubt that tho Republican candidnte, John Sherman, will lie elected, os three nnti-Lcconii'ton Democrat have come out for him. At first the Republican only wanted six rote to curry the election of their man. It ha been generally supposed that two of the oiiti-Lecoinpton Democrat would finally support Shermau-lliekmiin nnd Huskiii. Schwurlzo though elected mainly by Republican vote hn nlwoy been regarded us doubtful, and hi vote for Sherman is certain. There is small doulil that Rriggs, Carter nud Clark, of New York will vote for Sherman, os ulso Winter Davis, if the contest i narrowed. We think Shrniiun's election is certain.
