self-respect feels that his position in life
among his fellows is not one that satisfies

Our Government, in theory, is a govern

theory, requires all to be equal. To make
tho people, ns fur us can be equal, they
should possess the means for the enjoyment
of the blessings of life. Tliis cannot be
done without they possess homes, where,
relying ou their own industry, nnd the bless

No mensuro that I can think of would

Oregon Wants a Urealer Population.
Eov Aituts: How enn eastern emigrants
be induced to come hither? That is an im
portant question. Wo must present to
them adequate motives for coming to
this valley, or they will not come.
Generally emigrating farmers visit a new
country to get cheap hinds. They arc nsu
ally poor men, With families, own their
teams, some other stock; and have, perhaps,
a few hundred dollars in money. They
have health, muscle, and brave hearts, and
these are what we want.
Let a mini pass through this valley and
the impression will be deep upon h's m'nd,
that you need a large addition to your in
dustrial population.
I have said that farming emigrants de
sire cheap Kind. All the good land of this
valley, with the exception of school lunil
and land donated to the State, is taken np.
There nro no lands for emigrants at $1 25
per aero. . i ..
While this is the Tact, farming emigrants
will, to a great extent, pass thin valley by.
Indeed, if they come in your neighborhood
nt oil, they will stop cost of tho Cascade
Mountains, or they will press on to Wash
ington Territory.
What enn be done? I have heard that
it has been suggested to provide by law
that emigrants be at liberty to purchase the
schnn and Stato lands at $1 25 per acre
that they shall have credit upon such
purchases of ten years, nt ten per cent, in
terest if not paid in three years.
I do not see uny conclusive objections to
this policy. These lands will not much en
hance in value if held under present circum
stances. If settled, and improved, great
additions will be made to our population,
nnd the property of tho whole valley will
greatly appreciate. We will get a popu
lation here, I think, that will gradually, by
purchase, lessen tho lurge nnd cumbrous
claims that nre ruinous to public and indi
vidual prosperity. '.' .
Let it be known to emigrants, ere they
leave' tho Missouri, that the school and
State lands of this valley nre subject to be
entered by them at Congress prices, and
that there ure citizens here who will take
pleasure in pointing out to them where
these lands ero situate, and we may antici
pate large accessions to our population.
And let me say, in nil sincerity, that ac
cessions of population by emigration to this
vulley, in my opinion, will not bo great un
der the present condition of things. B.

Whereas, In consideration of our frater

We take the following (ten picture gal
lery from the Washington correspondent of
the N. Y. Times. The likeness of Cobb U
a correct one: '
" Mr. Keitt Is one of our decided institu
tions here, ami deserves a notice. 1I l a
robust and well-built fire-cuter, with a good
deal of the upparaiice given to lleury tut!
Eighth in certain romantic prints. . Re has
a profusion of liair, just begiuuiug to thin
in front; nn opeu uud lo.'ty iorvbrad,
marked by the sabre scar of an early duel;
brown, fiery eyes, set uuder eyebrows which
rise and full with every varying emotion;
florid cheeks, indicating affection for till the
creature comforts of life; and an fluores
cent brown chin bcurd, jut commencing to
show 'the hour frosts of a fortieth winter.
As an orator, Mr. Keitt is of the Southern
pyrotechnic kind; but it is his merit that,
after a blaze of rockets uud Roman cundh s,
his center-piece towanU the closo almost
invuriubly reveals an illuminated national
shield, with the scroll " E J'luribut I'num"
forking out from the beak of a crimson or
or orange-tinted engle. Never! In-less, he is
discursive nnd almost limitless in Ids advo
cacy of Southern rights; vehement uud au
dacious in tlie stutcment of constitutional
paradoxes; but in heart, it may be said of
him, that he Is loyal to tho Union, and
that, while his ardent and somewhat exag
gerative temper demands the stimulus of iii
llammable metaphor, he really means as
well to Northern men, and lakes us fuir a
vie w or Northern rights, as any member of
Congrrss hailing from tlie south of Mnsnn
& Dixon's line. He Is a natural talker, nn
irrepressible speaker, fluent and fide, on
ull subjects, and inclined to remain of his
opinion, notwithstanding any arguments or
persuasions, coming from what quarter they
may. Socially, Its is said to bo a delight
ful and courteous compauion, a type-man
of Southern hospitality, and a friend who
shrinks from none of the responsibilities
which mny be necessary tosustrain a fneud
in any doubtful or hazardous extremity.
Williamson R. W. Cobb, of Alabama,
seized the floor nnd delivered an extraordi
nary hardshell-Baptist sermon, or that orig
inal mid amusing kind fur wh'cli he lung
ago obtained a patent. Tho Rev. Mr.
Cobb has been for thirteen years a member
of the house, anil a pillar of the cruitneeoiis
Baptist faith. He is a model man of the
typo half horse half oligator, atundiiiir six
feet four inches in his broad toed boo's,
nnd so thin ns to recull the story of that
Western debtor who, when pursued by the
Sheriff, crept into his rifle and looked out
at his pursuers through the touehhnlc. Iu
dress ho is nil over tho Baptist parson
black dress coat, black satin waistcoat and
heavy gold seal, a yard and a half of thin
black trousers, and a stiff black satin cra
vat, surmounted by shnrp-pn'nted white
shirt collars, nis face resembles that of a
death's-head moth the forehead narrow
and prominent, tho dark eyos sunk nwny
out of sight, the cheek bones hardly cov
ered by the tight-drawn nnd sallow skin,
the cheeks hollow, tho nose short, ami th?
head thickly thatched with a shortish but
strong growth of iron-gray hair, divided iu
the middle of the forehead. Swaying back
ward and forward on his legs, like the long
pendulum in the tower of Notre Dame, sus
pended there to prove tho rotation of the
earth this gaunt and grisly orator swings
his arms through tlio nir with a sweeri ns
wido and desolating in gesture as if wield
iucr the scythe nf time. His voice has the
wild sinking and fulling, shouting nnd whis
pering, shrieking and muttering of the
Western Baptist pulpit. His grammar is
a little more uncouth than Ins appearance,
and his pronunciation keeps unison with nil
the fiintastiu surroundings of his nature.
Now and then ho darts forward, thrusting
out a long skinnv nrm nnd extended fore
finger nt the Republicans wlilc ho asks a
question ; then crouching back on his
haunches, while tin feigns to bo shocked
witli the answer which he hits put into their
mouths: "Have yon no other man," he
screams to the Republicans "Have you
no other mnn but Sherman to fix in that
chrer? If you her, nud doan't go to do it,
then ynu nre the meanest kind of white
men that crawls this oirtli ; for ifyondn
put him thnlir, in that cheer, our pcoplc'll
lick us out or our boots whet, they get ns
houm!" As another reason for organizing,
he very frankly ronfesed that he " wanted
a little money himself, and thuhr was no
siffht for a-gittin' it until tho cheer was
filled." Never did a provincial traged'an,
obtaining his first chance for fume in a Me
tropolitan theatre, so tear a pnsxion to mgs
and out-Herod Ilerod in t he way of stormy
gesticulation and wild attitudes as did this
or.itor of the day. His legs were as bend
nblo as a length of hose-pipe; his arms ex
tensive and prehensile as if a couple of rat-tle-Hiiakes
had been jointed nn nt his shoul
ders; arid the hard bones of his fingers rat
tled together us he snapped them in tlie
faces of the Republicans currying out tlio
idea which the curving nnd writhing of his
talon-ended arms suggested. ;
He was interrupted by Emerson Ether
idze. of Tennessee, who arose on behalf of
IthwSoiith Americans to protest that tlfy
could never iimliate with the Democrats,
who had traduced and nspersed them since
the House commenced balloting for Speak
er. Mr. Etheridgo is a man of about 38
years of ngc, with a singularly fine and well
developed, broud forehead; straight brown
j hair; brown whiskers and chin-heard; largo
i hazel eyes, set at an honest distanco from
euch other, and a prominent, straight nose
of not any decided tviie. He 1ms a fine.

Elbridgo Gerry Page, author of "Pot
ent Sermons of Dow, Jr." first rommeneed
many years ago in the Sunday Merenry of
New York, of which he was part proprie
tor, nnd for some yenrs past, continued In
tho Golden Era of this city, died Inst even
ing nt about 7 o'clock. He died In pover
ty nnd almost alone. ' But for tha kindly
offices of a German woman, lie would hvo
died with no friendly eye to witness his last
words. She, living in the same building
which he occupied, ascertaining that he was
very siek, called in a physician. But poor
" Dow, Jr." was beyond the reach of medi
cine. No entitling prescription, no pill nor
compound could arrest the thin of life which
wns fast ebbing away into tho great ocean
of death! .
' Mr. Page was a practical printer, as well
ns a writer of undoubted genius., ., His
" Patent Sermons," upon their first nppenr
nnce, crcuted a sensation, and were un
doubtedly tho instigators of many series of
articles by other authors, of a half serious,
half ludicrous character. They possessed
characteristics, of undoubted merit, if not,,,
indeed, of genius. They held a much lon
ger popularity than the " Cimdlo Lectures,"
or the letters or "Jack Downing." But,
besides those " Sermons," pow, Jr., was
the author or much other ninttcr which'
floated into the great river of current litera
ture. He possessed ability which should
hnvo ensured him a competency, if not n
fortune. But bo had a weakness which
has brought his " Sermons" to a comple
tion nt last, nnd himself to an early and
melancholy end.
Genius, undirected by steadiness of pur
pose nnd high aims and aspirations, Is but;
steam without ft balance wheel. . Flashing
like a meteor, its light dazzles, draws a
bricht linn of light across the heavens and
sinks in darkness, lenving perhaps a fading
ribbon of dying glory to endure for a mo
