Srijc (Oregon SVtgita. Editor. OJUJOOXf CITY I SATURDAY, OCTOBKR. 27, I860. Republican Nomlnationi. For President, A I? It A II AM LINCOLN, OK II.I.INOIH. Fur Viet President, 11 ANSI HAL HAMLIN, OK MAINK. for I'rnidtnlial Electors, T. J. Haras, U. J. W. II. Wtki Tlie Dauble-iearra Harrow. Wo are Informed tlmt Mr. Garfield, who plead tlio niii.10 of Douglm, during bit apcech nt Lafayette few day ago, illuntrut til the turning, Iwiiitings, tnJJdoubb-fuceJ policy of tlia Breekiuridge Democracy by the fullowinj anecdote: A boy was em ployed by on old Yankee down cant to hnrrow a very rooty piece of land. The rootH wcro very annoying of course, and, much to the axtonlnhroriit of the boy, they kept " Hopping the burrow bottom side up" no often that ho complained to the old Yntikra tlmt it took him moro than half tlio time to turn it back. Ilia employer (cut him to the blui ksuiilh hhop, ond bad the harrow filled with an extra aet of teeth pointing upwards, no that when the har row turntd over, tlio hoy could drive on and keep harrowing. Mr. Garfield thought this an excellent illustration of Drcckiiiridge Democracy the one tide of tlio harrow being Intended fur northern roil, and the other title for Smtthtrn. We think, our.iclf, that the double-geared thing is a much butter illustration of the J)oitgla$ ticket with Doughit harrowing away In the North on " Squatter Sovereignty," and Johnson harrowing away in the South on a " Shot Code." To illustrute the two aides of the har row, wo quote a few extracts: tOl'(i.AS IIARnoWlNO NORTH. " I bt lievo that tlio people of a Territory iturliiii their Territorial existence luvr. the riciit to Exci.ciiR si.AVFRV. I have always to taught, mid hnvo never taught otherwise. Freeport Speech. "Shivery being tho creature of local legislation and not ok this constitution of the United Stales, it follows that the COXSTITl'TION DOKS NOT KVrAHMSII 8l,AVr.ltV IX Tlllt TKIII1ITOIIIKS UF.VONn TDK TOWER OK THE I'COPt.K TO CONTROL IT BY LAW." Harper's Magazine artktt. Johnson' iiaiirowino soi tii " It retnniiis now to consider tho ques tion involved in tlio amendment proponed by tlio Senator from Missi.-sppi (Mr. Davis.) That qiifKtion in, whether it is the tin I fi i Congress to guarantee to tho slave holder who shall remove with his slaves into tlio territory of tlio United Stales, the undisputed enjoyment of his property in them, to long as it continues to be a Territory. Or, 'h other words whether the inhabitants of a Ttrritory, Curing their territorial romlition, luivo the right to prohibit slavery theirin. Tor tho purpose of thin question, It mnt ters not where tho power of legislating for tho Territory residis whether exclusively in Congress, or jointly in Congress and the inliubiliiiitH, or exclusively in the inhabi tants of the Territory; the power is precise ly the sumu no greater in tho hands ol 0110 than tho other. In no event, can the slaveholder of I lie South be excluded from srttliny in such Territory with his proi1- lillTV OF KVKltY nKHCllllTION. lint suppose tint riylil of legislation for tlio Territory bo in its inhabitants, can they prohibit Slavery? Surely not; and for reason siniilur to those which thow that Congress cannot." Johnson's speech in the Senate, July "lh, ltUS. Wo now quote, from a resolution Intro duced by Johnson ut tho meeting of the 'Democratic convention held at Milledgc ville, June 4th, 1800, after the Charleston Convention had broken up, to show that Johnson is running tlio sumo harrow in 18(10 that ho was geared to in 184S. " Jietolred, That we re-aflirni tho Cin cinnati platform, with tho following addi tional propositions: 1st. That the citizens of the United States luive an equal right to settle with their proper!; of any kind, in the organized Territories of the United States, ami that under tho decision of tho Supremo Court of the United Stutei in tlio cso of Died Scott, which w recognize as tlio correct exposition of the Constitution in this par ticular, iiirf properly stands on tht same footiny at all other descriptions of property, and that neither Ve Ueneral Government, M)lt ANY TKKUITOIUAL GOV KKNMKNT, can destroy or impair the right to slave property; that property of nil kinds, slaves as well as any other species of property, in tho Territories, stands upon tho same equal nnd broad Constitutional basis, and subject to like principles of r cognition nd PllOTKCTlOX in the LIMJISLATIVK, judicial and executive departments of the Government." Now we ore no friend to the Breckin ridge " harrow," as every body knows but if Mr. (JurficM, or any other man, can, alter the most luborious searching of the record", make up from the history of the ltrei kinridgo faction, as complete a " bar row with two tides" at we hare given above, we will cheerfully print it for him. Cobs Oregon it about to prove to be a coru country. Somebody near Dayton, raited aix hundred bushels of corn this summer. We tnw a field of corn raised by Mr. Copeland, near Esquire Dawsou'a, io Yamhill county, whtch would compare well with any cornfield in Illinois. It is the old fashioned gourd teed, and hat now been fully ripe, for several weeks. Mr. Copeland told ns that bo would be able to tall aboot thirty bonnets of teed com. " There la prolmblr not one In a thou land, North or South, who would not pre fer anion with the loss of their favorite po litical messurea, than tiiccesa with disunion.' Goo. Whiteaker'l Menage, Now, Governor, you shouldn't hare let that leak out. It's all true, of course, but thoo a Democratic Governor Is exacted to be too shrewd to tty It. Jeff Davit, Brown, Ktiitt, Yancey, and Jo Lane, with many other leaden of your party, are threatening Disunion In case the Republi can! triumph, and thlt threat being intend ed to frighten Northern slinks into voting the Democratic (or Disnnlon) tckct, of whut force will their Disunion howl be, if Democratic Governors and other sec tional fuiict'oiiurits tell the peoplo that nine hundred and ninety-nine Democrats even "prefer union with tht Ion of their favor ite political measures, than tuecett with disunion" that is, they prefer Lincoln and Union, to Breckinridge and Disunion? To use a comparison you probably under stand, don't you know you ought to danco to the tune your leaders fiddle? It strikes us, Governor, that you much resemble " Snug the Joiner," who, in per sonating a lion in the democratic play of Pyramut and Thisbe, got off the following salutatory: You, ladies, you whose ge nit hearts do frar Tli smallest moiittrbua nioue lh.il creeps on flour. May now, perchance, bold quake and tremble Hero, Wlieu liun rough In wildest rage itolli far. Then know, that I imt Snug ilw Joiner am. No lion fi ll, nor else no lion'a d im." To all of which Theseus very properly responded" A very gentlo beast, but a goose for hit discretion." The Governor mnket his party a " very gentle beast," but Jeff Davis will pronounce him " a goose in discretion." Coox's ExrREss tr akp at 'km aoai.n. We notice that Coon's Express at Ilosuburg hut been revived. During its first exist ence, wo showed that it was a genuine Garrisonian Abolition sheet. We arc now glad to see that Coon's Express has be como somewhat modified in its tone in stead of going for Garrison, it now goes for Gcrrit Smith, who is, we believe, an Abolitionist of a somewhat milder type than Garrison. Coon's Express says tlmt if Congress should pats a law requiring us to elect a Congressman in November, Ger- rit Smith should be imported to run for the office As Gcrrit Is now trying to de feat tho Republican parly, by ruuuiug with Breckinridge for the Presidency, we think Coon's Express ought to be satisfied to let Gcrrit operate where he is. Gcrrit is merely a theoretical amalgamution'st, whihi the Oberliu Smith is practically sound. If Coon's Express wishes to run one of the Smith family for Congress, why not run Delusion f Delusion and Gcrrit are both negro-equality men, both haters of Repub licanism, and both Disuuionisls. Gcrrit has done liltlo us yet, however, but to theorize on matters which lio close to the hearts of nil Democrats, while Delusion has been ' pegging1 awuy to some purpose. Let Delusion bo run, by all means. What says Coon's Express ? Not So. The Disunion fanatics who support Breckinridge are whining terribly about the election of Col. Baker to the U. S. Senate. They say the Republicans in electing a ucw comer to a high office, have done precisely what they blamed the Democrats for doing when they elected Stent. That is not so. We faulted them for picking up a new comer that nobody kneie any thing about a mere ndventurer, with no political record, no repute, and with scarce talent enough to mako a re. spcctuble justice of tho peace in a one- horse town. Suppose such a man ns Broderiek had come here from California, and the Demo crats hud nominated him for Congress in three days after his arrival does any one suppose that wo would have objected to him bceauso ho was a new comer? Brod eriek, like Baker, was a mnn who had a national reputation wo knew all about him, and wo would a thousand times rather have seen Broderiek elected to Congress from Oregon, three dnyt after his arrival, than to have seen any Democrat elected who bas lived here for ten years. Col. Baker, though a new comer, is by no moons unknown. Tlio blacks of course want something to whine about, and they might as well snivel about this as any thing else. US' At the Republican meeting in La fayette last week T. J. Dryer stated that he and Logan had both requested Col. Raker to come here and run for the U. S. Senate. Dryer read a portion of a letter written to Col. Baker by David Logan, requesting him ( Baker) to hasten back from Sun Francisco, to watch the "shuflle and cut of tht cards," aud telling him that the game (the Senatorship) was in his (Baker's) owu hands. He never asked him to come, and we never favored bis election, provided we could get an old Oregouian who was fit for the place, but we are now not only satisfied with his elec tion, but we rejoice at it. Grain. So many farmers have been engaged during the month of September iu threshing the present season's heavy crop, that very few have found time to tow any fall wheat. There Isnt one fourth the wheat town this fall, that there wet last. ka7The mast is very heavy in tome taction this full. The ground is nearly covered with acorns, in the hilU adjoining our ranch. The bogt and tho bear are Having a good time of it w !. Pay, S.wH the H.1V1" Our next pAM-r will hardly reach most of our subscribers before the election. We want to tay to such a few words. The moat linjiortatit Presidential election Hint hut tuken place within many yean, will occur within the next eleven days. The greut luteresti of Oregon aro In volved In that election: The question of the Pacific Rail-Road; The Daily Overland Mulls; The protection of Oregon emlgranU by a line of military posts; The payment of tho War Debt; The enactment of the Homestead Law; The putting a stop to the aggressions of Slavery; Tho preserving of the freo Territories for Free Labor. We regard the election of Adraiiam Lincoln as beyond question. There is no Intelligent man of any purty who doubts this. Will it not be well for Oregon will it not be belter for our people if Oregon should cabt her vote for the Republican candidate? This question it submitted to the consideration of all patriotic nion all men who lure Oregon more than party. Every man't vote on tho first Tuesday of November next will tell on the destinies of our beloved Oregon for years to cornel The Prnprct Abroad. Lincoln will corry nil the Eastern Free States. Their votes will elect him. Breck inridge will enrry North Carolina, South Carolina, Arkansas, Louisiunn, Florida, and Texas. Bell will bo likely to carry Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, and has tho best chance of car rying Mississippi, Alabama, and Delaware. Missouri vibrates between Breckinridge and Bell. California and Oregon will go either for Lincoln, Breckinridge, or Dou glas. Wo do not think Douglas certain of one electoral vote but he bat bis satisfaction: he will kill off the Disunion candidate Breckinridge. Ever Republican Hhonld Vote! Thnt Republican realizes but little the important position In which ho is placed by his God, and little of bit high duties as an American citizen, who will ueglect to cast his vote nt the coming election. Nor does his duty end there. Ha should sco to it that every Republican within the sphere of his influence performs ulso this important duty. Rfpcbi.ican Mektino in Portland. Last Saturday night tho Republicans had a meeting ut their Club Room in Portland. We lenrn that tho Room was literally crowded with people. J. II. Mitchell, Esq., led off In a handsome introductory speech, aud was followed by W. C. John son, Esq , of this city, In whnt wos regard ed ns a capital effort. This is the first po litical speech ever made by Mr. Johnson in Portland, and it gave decided satisfac tion. We have heard it remarked that 1 Carey' will mako one of Oregon's tallest men. Tho Republicans of Portland ore in capital spirits, ready fur tho election. taj Wo notice that Mrs. Simeon Fran cis received a diploma ut the Multnomah County Fuir, for the best specimcu of knitting. She is not only a good knitter, but we believe she is the fastest knitter on this const. 83T Jo Lane wrote to Moshor to stave off the Senatorial election till after the Presidential election he wanted another chance nt tho Senatorship. Douglas now has " Joe's head in a bag." Smith's isn't worth bugging. WT We are becoming incensed. A California paper speaks of one of our can didates on the Breckinridge ticket as Dr. W. D. Dough-litt, nnd asserts that ho is known in oil tlmt region under thnt eu phonious nnmo. If that bo the fact, votes given to D. Win. Douthit will not stand good in law. 3r In Yamhill Co., Dr. Dough-titt's speech commenced with Adam nnd left off with Jo Lane. There were some inter mediate characters mentioned J mint Mac cabeus nnd Josephus. Dr. Dongh-titt should send to tho Aberdeen College for the degreo of LL. D. J5 We Kara that the Hon. Jacob Woodsidcs, of Salem, has just returned from a visit to Illinois, and gives it as his opinion thnt that State will go for Lincoln by 25,000 majority. Woodsidcs is for Douglas himself. He says the enthuisnsm iu Illinois for Lincoln is unbounded. ttj The Advertiser has a low fling at the Argus. Does the Advertiser rec collect the time when he was seen packing a pig through ono of the by streets of Portland, with the mouth of the pig tied up to prevent its squealing? Does the J Advertiser understand? fcS- Mr. J. M. Kirkpatrick, of Albany, made a very excellent speech in this city last Wednesday. The crowd was not a very large one, owing to the inclemency of the weather. " S. Garfield, Esq., who it canvass ing the State for Douglas, addressed our citizent on Friday tvening of lust week. W. W.

Bnla MeaTha HUlloarrf Traae. Gradually the light downs upon ns, ond ona by one the fucu breuk forth, thut we, a nation of a ten years' growth, aro fnt becoming civilized. Not only the ruder murki of Intellect', at manifested In tho va rious mechanical contrivances of our mines and farms, but literature and the fine arts are taking unto themselves a local habita tion and a unme in our midst. Stationery fullowt closely upon the hcele of refinement, and few persons uro aware of the extent and importance of this branch of our trade. The word Stationer, originally, .ignifitd Bookseller, from his occupying a stand or station, but os tho publication nud sale of books increased, it was separated from that of the other, tho name Stutioncr remaining with the vender of Paper, Ink, Pens, &v. At thit day, oud in our country, a Book and stationery store is a perfect tin rinometer of the nature, extent, and quality of the community. Wherever you n n-ut, well kept establishment of this kind, with a gentlemanly anil Intelligent proprietor, you may be ture you ore in the midst ofnn intellectual, refined and will Informed people. About two yean ago Mr. Albert L. Bancroft, brother of the eminent Publisher and Bookseller, conceived tho idea of taking Stationery and making it a sr p irate and distinct branch of trade, devoting his best energies to that alone. No house ex clusively Stationery had ns yet been started upon the Pacific Coast. Accordingly af ter having spent ono year in preparation, the requisite arrangements were consumma ted for receiving regular supplies from the Mills nnd Manufactories of the United States, England, France and Germany, and the enterprise launched in San Fran cisco, early in 1800, under the name of A. L. Bancroft k Co., Mr. II. II. Bancroft becoming junior partner In the firm. So fur It has proved a decided success, there not being o town of any consequence in California, Oregon, Washington or Uluh which does not contain one or more cus tomers of this house. Closely allied to the interests of this new firm, stands the old house of II. II. Bancroft k Co. with its large worcrooms crowd d to overflowing with books in ever department of literature. The customers cf theje two houses derive great advantages in their being able to make up their entire stixk from them, and by each department of their business being carried on separately nnd upon its own merits. We heartily say, patronizu t!ie new house of A. L. Bancroft k Co.; they deserve it. Betiikl College. Tho Institution at Bethel, Polk county, is about to enter np on a new era in its history. It will be opened as a College, with all the regula departments nnd professorships, on the third Wednesday iu November. Lev Rowland, A. M., Lite a graduate o Bothuny College, Virginu, nnd a most e timable man, will be inaugurated us Pre dent, and Dr. Hudson, A. M., with Pi fessor Hall, the present accomplished teachers, will bo regularly installed as the heads of their respective departments. They have now an excellent set of chemi cal nud philosophical apparatus, with a library of several hundred volumes, an in vestment which places tho Institution on an even footing with the most advanced Institution in tho State. Wo havo been familiar with the history of this Institution since it was first set on foot through the indefatigable exertions of a few such noble souls os G. O. Burnett, Amos Harvey, nnd Dr Warriner, and sinco the day that it was determined to establish an Institu tion of learning at Bethel, we have seen it struggling onwards and upwards, through storm and sunshine, till, contrary to the predictions of many, it has become nil entire success. The Institution com mends itself to tho consideration of such as are interested in the cause of education every where in the State, nnd parents and guardians who arc looking for ti dcsiruhlv location for those under their charge, can not do better than by placing them iu the paths of science which have been so care fully prepared by the philanthropists iu and around Bethel. We raised a few of the celebrated nubbnrd Squashes this year. They are small, light green, ond have a hard shell. They are said to keep well through the entire winter. The squash is very nice indeed our better half pronounces it the best squash she ever tasted. The seeds were sent to us last spring by our friend J. N. Bunker, of Schenectady, New York. We intend to distribute a few seeds among our Republican friends. Of conrse Jo Luue supplies the Democrats with squash seed, and " beans." t& We hear that the Oberlin amal garantionist is threatening to migrate with his master Joseph to Bunkum, South Cor olins, after Lincoln is elected. Delusion and Joseph are pretty will satisfied that " going out to stand," will not pity in the North; They think they can make a bet ter "stand" in a nigger country. We don't doubt it. Poor Stan d. Mc I teeny and his brother fanatics who " went out to stand" in order to defeat the election of Col. Baker, are now satisfied that they made rather a poor Hand, even for inch " ornary jack asset." We have received letten from dif ferent counties, extracti from which will ba fooad ia another eolotaa. ' SAi.rx, Oct. 22, 1800. En. Anout l Having been attracted by notice about town that Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Albany, Intended to speuk to tho Re publicans and peoplo generally tint even ing, I repaired to the court house to tec and hear what was going on, I wat ngrccubly surprised ond much edified tho entertainment of tho evening. The speaker, Mr. K., It n carpenter by trade. He is a lonnd Republican, nnd hot no quuinted himself well with the history of the Government. Hi positions were forcibly and well maintained. His remarks were well received by Ms auditors, which con listed of tome eighty or ono hundred per sons. The sluvcry issue was tho principal topic discussed. A pleasing contrast was drawn between the founders of our Government and the Repablicun parly their aims and objects, it was maintained, were identical. Tho pence that followed the compromise of 18.10, nnd which existed up to 1854, and which ullnyed oil strife on the sul.jcct ur slavery, wus highly extolled, nnd n well merited rebuki was given to the disturber of those relations. The policy f tho Disunion cand'd.itcR wns fully cx osjd, nnd the result of their notions deprecated. The speaker's eulogy upon Col. Baker's abilities was received with marked attention, and a enstigntion Is promised tho murderers of the Pulriot-Re-publicun, D. C. BnouEntcK, nt bis hands when occasion offers. It sounded well to mo to henr Republic an principles so boldly proclaimed in the Capital of Oregon. Two years ago there was scarcely a baker's dozen in this comity There wns a 'Baker's eleven' thcro this yeur, you bet. who cntertuined Republic an sentiments, much less made them known. Marion is becoming nroused nnd will give n good account of herself next November. Front present indications I draw this one conclusion, thnt as the great political stars arc declining nnd "ubout to set, day light is near at hand. So moto it be. Yours, Ac, Observer. The Fnillaad Past Otnee. Near Portland, Oct. 19, 'CO. Mr. Editor: Please send me the first and second August numbers of tho Argus, ns I have not hud them yet. I have had much trouble to get the numbers regularly out of this past-office, especially if they should happen to lay in tho office a few days. They wouid bo looked for with many insults to me, nnd on ouo occasion the ass'stiint posinnstcr s dil the Argus was " nothing but a d d Black Republ cau sheet, uny how."

No po I tic-iil cxciti ments urise, and but few street talks of a political character arc heard, The f irmors aro now busily engaged in liui'ing their fruit to market, or ut least in gathering it from the trees. Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Albany, nddresd tho Lincoln club at the court-house on Monday evening. A large number of citizens was present. His speech was a very creditable one. Yesterday nit election was held in the three wards of which this city is composed, for acceptance or rejection of a city charter. The charter was accepted; there being however a very small vote polled. Allyn. Heward's Endorsement or Lincoln. Mr. Seward is out stumping it for Mr. Lincoln, nnd doing such service for the cause ns no other man can do. Iu Detroit he made a nent little speech from he bal cony of Senator Chandler's house. Speak ing of the difficulty nt first of gaining tho attention and confidence of the masses to hear Republican doctrine, he soys. " The peoplo have become nt liist atten tive, willing to be convinced, and satisfied of tho soundness of the Republican faith. It has been a task. We had first to reach the young through the pnjiidiecs of the old. I hnve never expeett d my own ago and generation to relinquish the prejudices in which they and I were born. I huvo expected, as lias been tho case heretofore in the history of mankind, that the old would remain nnconvertajl, and that the great work of reformation and progress would rest with the young. That has come at hist, for though the Democratic party bate denied the ascendency and ob ligation of the ' higher law,' still they bear t siiiiiony to it in tin ir lives if not in their conversation. (Langhtcr.) Democracy w4il die in obedience to ' higher law,' and Republicans are born, and will be born, and none but Republicans will bo born in the United States after the year of 1860. Laughter nnd applause. The first gen eration of the young men of the country, educated in the Republican faith, has ap peared in your presence by a strong and bold demonstrative representation to-night. It is the young men who constitute the Wide Awake force. Ten years ago, and twenty yean ago, the Wide Awake force were incapable of being organized. Four yean ago it was organized for the dis traction of the country and the Republican cause. To-day the young men of the United States are for the first time on ti e side of freedom against slavery.
