" Con ft ssion is goisl for the soul," it is said, and we trust it will be in this cue. The Union recommends o project for n mail from San Francisco to Portland six times a week- to iii-complijli the trip in seven days n contract for doing which will bo taken by Col.

If there be such n man, he will beentirey cured of lhe malady by reading the following editorial corn spun deuce o( the St. Loni News, a Southern opposition paper. Tho article is dated Wushiuglon, Dec. lo. We call lhe panic iilur attention of our reader to thi article, a it show a plainly ns linitheinnticiildi III oiistriition could that it is not the "right or the South" these demagogue are con tending lor, but simply a perpetual lease or power by the sectional fanatic who head the disunion Democracy. No wonder thut after such an exhibition or hypocrisy the Richmond ( Va.) WU,' say that " if the South cannot be saved in any oilier man lier thuii being Democratically saved, it may be duiimed to ull eternity." The fuet is, the seetiouulists, after having cut their own throats nt the North, huve, by their mad fanaticism mid sii'cidul policy, pretty much liuislied tbcmstlvis ut the South. Il will not bo ninny years till the only Slate they will be ublu,to curry will be South Carolina. When they come up after a Presidential contest, with only the ight electoral vote of this disunion State that Jackson threatened to visit with nn army, wouldn't the Northern doughfaces cut a pretty figure in bowling ol.out the "sectionalism" of a party tlmt hns driven them into South Coroliun, nnd built a wull around them? Hut here is the article from the St. Louis News: "Tho Democratic members, with tluir usual hatred nnd vindictivcness towurds the Southern Opposition, bnvo endeavored to makeit appear that the South Americans arc responsible for thn iioii organizatioii of the House; nnd they have inso'ciitly nud falsely denounced the Southern Opposition members as traitors to the South, because the hitter would not nhnnilon their own candidate and go over to Uncock, the Dent ooralie candidate for Speuker. Mr. Ellu ridge, of Tennessee, in reply to Mi-Rue, of Mississippi, well said that when Hocoek could obtain nil thr.

Mr. Ethi-ridge demanded to know of the Democrats iu the House if the Southern opposition candMute, John A. G. liner, of North Carolina, should obtain nn increase of his vote, so that by nibling it to the Democratic vote, it would be sufficient to elect him, whether the Democrats would come over to Giini-r ond thus beat the Re publicans?

Now who is the man to do this work, and how is lie to be sent upon the mission? With nil due deference to the opinions of others, nnd to make a break ou this sub ject to the public, I say that Wm. L.

Neither he nor any other man would engage in this work with out being furnished means. " Menus arc the sinews of wnr," and they would ulso bo to make this projected plan suc cessful. Mr. Adams would visit Missouri, Wis consin, Michigan. Illinois, nud Indiana, and perhaps othi r States, nnd would makosnch representations to them of ear country and its advantages, that would lend to an emi gration, w hich would be followed by others, until this bcniititul valley, from the Colum bia river to the Cullaponya mountain', nnd from tho Coast Uange to the Cascade mountain', " would bud and blossom as the rose," and farms, villas, towns, with nil their attendant advantages unit blessings, would fill its whole area I call upon the public spirited citizens of Oregon to consider the suggestions mncTc, nnd to adopt them nnd carry them into ef fective operation, if tin y approve of them.
