Tho Presidential struggle of I860 the
mot memorable in the history of this Government--
li over Lest Tuesday, the
role ut Are million of American citizens
w.-ro registered in a way that will (ill upon
liUtnry of I In country fr years to
com . The wm k of luHt Tuesday Ii done
firi vir-whether well or ill don, It enn
nut now lie altered. The rote ilint was
then deposited In the ballot-bo-, whether
placed there to further the great cause of
civil and religious liberty, of humanity,
nj human progress, or thrust in to proji
their expiring antagonisms, hue gone
non the record to Indicato tlio character
of tlio A merlon i-njif tt this particular
epoch In our bitory, nnd to murk with h
dinmond point upon the din tliut ind i-ut-i
human progress, the altitude wo hnvc
rvucl.ii! a a nation In the npward march
of Improvement. Tho itorio that bus
. potted over us hm lulled for a moment,
hut If it hasn't prostrated the strongholds
of despotism, it will blow oguin with a
ten fold increase in violence. That tlio Is
turn of the lust campaign Lure been pc
manently settled on tlio tide of right, or
that right has achieved a victory at all,
in no wine cortuin. Wo hope for the liest
and Indead expect tliut tbii great nution
lias honored itself In the conflict. Let the
result be as it may, the aggregate volo will
nhow a gain of many tins of thousand to
the rank J of tlio nolilo ho ill of Freedom
since tlio ha'.tlo of 1850.
Tho " irrepressible conflict lina been
the moral enrthquuko that has shaken
down every government that tyrant ever
construetcd on tlio antagonisms of what
our futhers declared wore tho " prime ob
ject. for which government were instituted
among men." Our Government bein
fiiuuded upon these "prime objects," in
stead of their antagonisms, os has been cv
ery government that has been shaken to
pieces will stand tho shock. Tho politi
cnl elements that are now at work
thwart the wishes and intentions of its
founders, nro warring ngninst tho genius of
our institutions ns indicated in tho Declara-
tion of Independence, the CoiiMitut'on, and
the early legislation of the fathers, and
being obnoxious to the views, tho senti
ments, and sympathies of tho great muss
of our citizens, they can never bono for
even a temporary triumph, unless it bo by
cautiously hiding from public view the real
designs of those who covet power, in order
to make tlio Government administer to tho
wished of Mich us desiro to grind the com
mon people into the dust by recognizing no
" rights" but tho " rights of property."
The triumph that tlio enemies of our free
institutions nehieved in tho Presidi ntiul
struggle of 1851 was merely occidental
a result moro of thn crudo condition of
parties, the newness of tht startling issuia
that were forotid upon an n.stonislied pco-
plo, nnd tho consequent wunt of thorough
party discipline, with a clear perception by
tho masses of tho designs of nn aspiring
oligarchy, than of a cool, deliberate
choico by n majority of our people of the
wrong after a thorough investigation
issues which startled the nution in 1850.
which liavo shaken it in 18ti0, nnd which
If tho enemies of our free ir.stiltitions be
not already overwhelmed with defeat, will
ut a future period rock it liko a moral vol
cano, and prrcipitato tho standard-bearers
of treason to n political nnd religious dim
nation. Tho man who supposes that tlio
" irrepressible conflict'1 which has been pro
clpitated upon this nution by the remnant
of toryisin associated ns a political organ
i.ution, is ever to ceaso short of a decided
and permanent triumph of principles which
involve tho interests mid u fleet tho con
sciences ot niiio tenths or our voters
principles which underlie the Constitution
nud givo efllcaey nnd motion to the power
that hews down forests, builds cities, peo-
pies deserts, constructs railroads, nud, liko
tho lever of Archimedes, lifts tuitions from
the miro of burbarinnism, and raises them
to a position where they become the admi
ration of earth's true nobility everywhere,
wo repeat, that ho who is blind enough
to expect either tho triumph of wrong in
this great conflict, or that tho swarming
sentinels on the watch-towers of human
liberty will retire from tlio contest, while
the foes of human progress are plying their
buttering rums ngninst tho edifice our fu
thcrs constructed, is too low down in the
well of Democratic observation to know
much of what is going on above grouud.
Tlio probabilities aro much stronger in our
favor to day than they were just four jeun
ago yet it is not nt nil impossible that we
have been bnrelv defented. Let the result
bo what it may, wo shall yield to it with
tlio best grace wo can, hoping that in (lie
developments of tho future an inscrutable
Providence may bring good out of it.
When, in 1853, the news of Buchanan's
election .was announced by the thundering
cannon, it spread a gloom over the whole
horizon. It sent an iron, burbed, cold,
and rusty, down deep into our sonl. From
the standpoint we then occupied, it seemed
to bo a terrible blow, aimed with deliber
ate purpose, by the popular- hand, at the
vital eleuieut of national aggrandizement,
a heavy larch, as of a drunken man, of
tht ffrcst American Genius, toward the
filthy mire of barbnrianlsm fur In our rear.
Time bos shown that tho blow was even
greater and mora deadly than ws then
feared, but we hare long since seen thnt
muny of those who struck it were not In
teiilionally compassing their country's ruin.
We are ulo siiticficd thnt what wo
then thought to be a great back set of
chcrUM principles and purposes lias
turned out to ha one of the best means of
opening np tho way for a conclusive nnd
permanent triumph of Republicanism. It
needed Just one more Democratic adminis
tration to develops tho designs, tho pur
poses, the rottenness, and the treason of
tho party in power, to the satisfaction of
all henest men. It wss thought best by
un inscrutable Providence that the party
should live on till it ften d, rotted, and
like Judas, naturally burst 0n itself, as
it did at CluirUstnn, rather than be chained
np by the RepuMicnns before the populace
had got to see. lit niters and smell
offiMis've odors.
In n few days more - we shall hear tl
result of tho conflict of IfiGO. Let tl
news be whut it may, wo want no Repul
licun to lay by his armor. Eternal vigilance
is tho price of liberty. A clear victory
is ours, sooner or later so let us be up and
at them.
t'.blai-a Mngsr C.aae.
Mr. Cvni's Glfasov, residing near tho
bridge on Pudding River, brought to our
office last week, two stalks of Chinese Si
gnr Cane, with the seed upon them. The
stalks were about six feet long and th
seed wus perfectly muturcd. In fact, tho
stalk had been standing in the field so long
after it had become ripe, that tlio jirces
had dried out of it, nnd wo were unublc to
test the saccharine qualities of the plant.
We regret that this could not bo done.
Two facts ore proven in this case : the
fir. t that tho Chiueso Cano will mature in
this climate, nnd, second, that the stalk
attains a fair size. Another year, its val
no ns a saccharine plant should be tested
early In thn season say when the seed
commence to ripen nnd ten days after.
For on experiment, the stalks may be di
rested of the leaves, nnd cut np into small
pieces, and wekhmiM think could be ground
iu a cider mill, and in th's manner, after
pressing, sufficient juice can be obtained
for experiment. Put the juice into n clean
kettle, boil it gently until seum censes to
rise, skimming it IT, and then boil rapidly
until the juice Is of proper consistency.
The Chiueso Sugar Cano makes n vnlun-
bio forngo plant. For this purpose It may
bo sown broadcast and cut when four
and dried as hay.
Wo Impo Mr. Glrnson will make fnrthtr
trails ot this plant to test its valuo both
for syrup and fodder. It is fust becoming
one of the staples of the North-Western
States yielding largo quantities of excel
lent syrup.

L. Applegate, Iq., of Umpqnn, deliverid
speech at the Court-room in this city
on i riday evening of hot wcik. His
nppointmeut for speaking was at 1 o'clock
p. m , but having lost his way whilst
coining from Hillsboro, did not reach here
till near iiichtrull, when most of thi
people Irom the country had gone home,
Nevertheless, a full house greeted him,
and were nmply repaid in a speech full of
eloquence, logic, nud humor. The nudianee
was kept in n roar from the commencement
until tho close of the address, something
over two hours. Mr. Applegnto bids fair
to become ono of our most prominent
t
Republican spenkers in Oregon. His style
is one Unit takes with a crowd.
Mr. Applegate spoke in Portland Satur
day evening to n large crowd, and also
on Monday evening. He gave general
satisfaction.
IiAWTON Hi.ackuehiiv Plants. Wo
have just been written to by Mr. Philip
tvitz in regard to his advertisement iu our
paper or this ruinous blackberry. Onr
types made him say that he lias raised the
plants from tlio seed, when in fuel he means
just tho contrary "he has ntvtr raised
the plants from the seed." The advertise
ment is correct now. Thofo wanting the
plants, cun obtain tho same iu this city
from Messrs. Ralston & Mvors, who are
agents for Mr. Iiitz.
Loos IIche! If any of onr numerous
subscribers who arc in arrears have any

caustinn however to have the money done
up carefully in a letter.
Mr Delusion and Douthit addressed
the unwashed in this city en Monday
afternoon. We were not present, but we
learn that Delusion came down on us terri

Twelve of the Lost Train Found
Aliro!-The Kcst all Dea-l!-
Drcadful Sufferings!
WAi.t.ci.A, Nor. 2, 1800.
El A rocs: The survivors of the Im
migrant party 'lately massacred by the
Snake Indians were found on tho 28th
Oct. by Cupt. Dent, who had gone in search
of them. An express from him arrived
here en the 31st. . No particulars are
given though the whole party are ac
counted for.
The survivors, 12 iu number, were found
on Durnt River, destitute of everything,
except life 8 hud died of starvation, and
the. living were subsisting on the bodies
ol the dead. It seems after tho Indians
censed the massacre, I hey plundered the par
ty of eri ry thing, str'pping even the cloth
ing from the women and children, nnd left
them to peii.h and starve in the wilderness
without fond or clothes. Those who hud
straggled in might well report, thnt they
were the only survivors. They are expect
ed here on the 8th. The expressman snys
they presi nttd the most heart-rending
sight ho ever saw men, living skeletons,
weeping for joy ut their deliverance from
hunger.
Tho nomrs will bo foiled in the letter
from tho Advertiser below.
Everything has been dotio thnt could be
for their relief. Cupt. Smith started 4
wagons supplied with food and clothing,
nud they will soon arrive in our midst,
when they will receive all the attention
their wants require.

A private letter says, that on the eve of

in advance of the main nnrfy, found nenr u
sin J! stream the women nnd children naked,
in a statu ot starvation, nnd creatlv inia
dated, so much so that their bones utmost
protruded through the skin. The women
and children, on seeing their rescurers fell
upon their knees and by tho most piteous
waitings implored food. The stout hearts
of tho soldiers was softened to the most
touching emotions of pity, which was im
mediately followed by dire revenge towards
mo red stuns.
On receiving the intt-lliirencc at the Fort
the sensation felt wss such us humanity
nioiic can experience, the conduct of Maj.
Stein the officer in command, was prompt.
nnd every comfort of the fori which could
he transported was quickly dispatched to
tho scene of Riiffcriug. Tlio wives of the
officers purchased every description of
clothing requisite for the women nnd
children of the trains. A physician with
medicine, &c, accompanied the supply
train.
More full accounts will be given when
the train arrives. Meantime I trust the
people of tho Vulley will suspend their
judgment upon tho cause both remote nud
intermediate of this dire calamity.

Mistakkn. The Oro,,'oniaii, speaking of
the vote of Jo Lane in the U. S. Senate in
favor of tho laws in New Mexico per
mitting employers to flog hired white men
and women, says that Stout voted against
the law while Lane voted with the South
ern Democracy. This is a mistake.
Stout, yoted just ns Lane did, and so did ev
ery Democrat in the loa er house. The Re
publicans all voted to repeal the law. ex-
pting Eli Thayer, who voted with the
.mocrats. Thayer seems to be the
black sVep" in the Republican camp.
U s vote looks very much ns though he
was a bluck Republican.

There are other things crowding upon my
recollection, with which we used to be fa
miliar. I wiil remind you at present of
but one or two examples. I knew nn old
servant of one of the " first families," a fa

uniong slaveholders, who had served his
master faithfully from tho timo in which
they iiad both been children, first for muny
years in old Virginia, and afterword
Missouri; and between whom and his mas
ter there was so striking a resemblance
that one would have supposed them to be
brothers, if such ft thing could have been
possible This man, after ho was unable,
in consequence of age and disease, to per
forin any service, was sent to lodge in the
loft of a neighbor's stable, where, with hay
for his bed nnd a blanket for his covering,
he lingered for weeks, destituto of atten
tion, except occasionally.. Perhaps, once
a day, one or more of his fellow sluves vis
ited him, taking to him a little nourish
ment. At length death set hig suffering
spirit free, to wing its flight info tho prcs
euco of Him with whom there is no res
pect of persons. His body received n
slave's burial. His young mistresses would
not risk soiling their deguut silks and
French embroidery by joining the humbl
procession. I have known, too, n widowed
mistress who wns iu the hubit of hiring the
stoutest man in tho village to wh'o her
slnve, a delicate looking, woe striekan mo

womnn's house. The second time that the
whipping was attempted after my coming
there, I went down stairs and told the mis
tress, who was standing with countenance
white with rage, tliut while I continued
her boarder that woman should not be
whipped. She asked me what business it
was of mine. That I soon explained.
She-then gave me a fierce, contemptuous
look, nnd turning to the man told h m he
might go. I immediately went back to
my room, to which within half nn hour
this woman followed me, asking my pardon
and regretting her passion. I also remem
