We are not surprised thut the Union
unites with us in i-oiideinaat on of the treat
ment of our K-oj,(o by the .Administration
and its supporter from our State in Con
gress. Well may it siir, " Our mail facili
ties alwuys have been poor, but never poor
er in cotnpariiioii to their importance than
the present." Tho Union uUo denounces
t lie ocean mail system, as a system of cor
ruption, supported by this Democratic Ad-
miiihitrnlioii, and fostered by the Democrat
ic mi (libera of Congress from the Pacific
States, whore support is si-cured to the
corrupt system by free pussuges to and
from the States, for which money is paid
theiii under the claim of ' mileage,' and
which thry put into their pockets!! " 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. Hooker, of Califor
nia, ot n reasonable price. Wo believe
that the project thus recommended is a fea
sible one; but we have no idea that it w.ll
be carried into effect by the present Ad
ministration. .Nor do wu believe that any
thing can be done to put down thut "cor
rupt nud corrupting system" of ocean tiMil
service which now exists. There arc too
many Jo Lanes ou this coast to hope for
uuy sin-OSS in such u project.
The Union also proposes thai the over
land mail from Sun Francisco to the Slat s
.shall be madu a daily mail, mid that it shull
be run ou the shortest route reducing the
time to nud from the SluUs to fourteen
lays. Thus, on this plan, with a mail six
times n week from San Francisco, the peo
ple (.f Oregon would enjoy the mail facili
ties which justly belong to them, lint
what grounds of hope have we that such a
reasonable rirpiet to tho wants of our
State will be at ull regarded by the powers
at Washington? Wbilj the Corvall-s ed

There are a lew persona alio ore stupid
enough to believe that tho disunion Dem
ocrats who have been preventing an organ
ization of the lower House of Congress,
were oetuated hi their raving by a love of
the South, Instead of a love for their own
block sectional parly. 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

falsely denounced the Southern Opposition
members as traitors to the South, because
the hitter would not nhnnilon their own

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. Deu.orroUe

done, and when it was uinilo to appear tint
the American by gom' over to mm could
elect him, then it would be time enough
Tor the Democrats to claim the aid of the
Ameri'-unsin beating the Hi publican pnrty.
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

He owns one hundred slaves, and is sup

niiido for two weeks past, have cried out
loudly and incessantly tlmt the safety of
Southern institutions should overr.do nil
oilier questions, nnd that nil parties should
unite to put down tho ' Hlnek Republi

ready to practice what they preached, nnd
unite on n:iy good Southern nian to limit
the latter (tarty. Hut they would not
promise to do this when nsked by Ethcr

Oilim-r obtained on the first ballot to day
thirty-six votes, the Anicr'c in vote being

in your paper, the object of which wa to
adopt measure for ecunng on emigration

She offers at thi time greater advantages
to a heavy emigration tlmn atony previous
oi-rioil iu her history,
Here hinds are cheap. Furun, Improved,
can bo purcluiscd at very low price. Farm
produce sell rapidly, nnd nt fair rates.
The laborer here, whether it be a hireling
on a furm, or os tho owner of lhe farm, is
well and certainly rewarded for hi luhor.
Oregon want laborer she want own
m and tillers of her soil she need that
her largo donation tracts should be divided
and settled.
Causes now exist which will bring large
number of theso tracts Into market beau
tiful and rich as the eye ever rested upon
I, too, have my plan for drawing the at
trition of emiirrunt to thisreron. And
how shall thts be done promptly uud effect-ively?
1 answer, send ono of our citizens u
long resident who is perfectly acquainted
with the iidvanlagc and condition of the
country, who possesses the will and the
1
mill 1 to make the emigrating classes of the
Western State understand nnd appreciate
these advantages, ami who is Willing to lend
on emigration riom thence to the Western
c-o ist, and l-t this thing be done n soon
us it enu be done.
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. Ai
am would be n suitable mun to be tliim
sent to the Western States, and that he
should bo furnished with the means to per
foim the duties which would thus be as
signed him by the liberal public spirited
citizens of Oregon. 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.

we presume that knowing the condition of
