' . Lout wok Mr. Uolbrook publiehed in
urtiile 'through the Argui in reply to in
editorlul in tli Oregonlan short time
eince. .We never law Mr. Holbrook'i tie-
funne until it uiutearcd In the AririM. If
wo Imd been In thin city at the time of It
publication, we should bare had loniethinjr
tout about it. It la proper that Mr.
Uolbrook or any other man should hare
the use of our column! to ay what he de
sires to, In a mutter of this kind. It la
also proper, nnd is tipteiid of o by the
Republican pnrty, that tee should ocenpy
some portion rehiring to the ltoe. The
duly which we now perform Is done solely
nud entirely at the fnrtance of our own
judgment, and shaped by our own eonvie-
'tionii of expediency. Neither Mr Uol
brook nor any other person has counseled
ut as to the course we ought to tnke. We
hare no desire to get up a newspaper qrinr-
rut onr this malUr, or to say a single
. word that will unncceMariiy wound the
feelings of a single person in the aniverie,
Our judgment is, tlint after we are fairly
placed Uon the record, tht lets taid about
it ia the papers, tht bttttr. It Is our bum-
ness to deal with factime impugn the
motives of so man.
Although Mr. Uolbrook evidently came
to the discreet conclusion when he took up
liia pen not to uttempt any justification of
himself for not supporting Col. Baker after
lie had becoiuo the choice of the Itepubli
can members of the Legislature for the
U. S. Senate, he apparently for some cause
relinquished bis purpose before he had pro
ceeded far in his article, and gave one reu
son,, 'rather incidentally 'tie true, why he
considered himself justifiable in voting
against Col. Buker. That reason was
found In the fact that Col. Buker held to
the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. It
so happens, however, that during the same
session of the Legislature that elected Col.
linker, Mr. Uolbrook wrote a litter which
was published in tho Argus, signed with his
own initials, in which he stoutly contended
thai Col. Buker was not a popular-sovereignty
man, and that the Democrats slan
dered him when they said ho was. But
even if he was, we do not see hew thut
should be an objection, when Mr. Uolbrook
to our certain knowledge has occupied that
ground when running for offlco iu this
county, and even seemed so much attached
to it that we have known him to role fur a
' Sjuatler-Soccretgn Tiemocrat, nominated
by the Democrat fur the State Semite, in
preference to a regular Republican nmni-
neje.. n o once Knew uuu iu use uu ins
influence for the withdrawal of u Republican
candidate for Congress, so that ho might
vote for Col. Kelly, a 1 National Democrat,'
running on a Lecotnpton, slave-sovereignty
platform. Tho Republican candidate was,
at the solicitations of Mr. Uolbrook and
others, Ihduccd to withdraw, aud Mr. II.
Wited for Col. Kelly. Such was his en
dorsement of Squatter Sovereignty in this
county at the tinio he ran lor the District
. Judgeship,, that the Democrats of that
school claimed him as their man.
Mr. Uolbrook, we think, is certainly
mistaken in saying that he nercr pledged
himself to vote for Col. Baker. Wo tire
assured by very many Republicans of this
count, that ho pledged himself on the
stump to support Col. Baker, if the latter
was nominated by tho Republicans in the
Legislature," aud any man the Douglas
Democrats might choose, provided n couli-
. --..I.I l. e 1 tr .1 i .
nun couiu no lurineii, u u nii'if mm Air.
Uolbrook gave us tho strongest assurances,
just before going to Snletn, that ho would
support any Republican that was nominal
ed, and do it cheerfully nnd heartily.
Mr. Uolbrook says that his refusal to
support Col. Baker after ho was nominated,
was superinduced by reasons satisfactory
to himself. Wo would to heaven we knew
what those reasons were, and that knowing
them we could view them as strong enough
to satisfy . The election of Col. Baker
to the U. S. Senate from Oregon wo view
as the proudest and most eventful achieve
ment made by tho friends of humuniiy on
this const. ' It took the vigilance, the labor,
nnd tho incessant exertion of very many
friends for weeks to secure it n period of
'.'the most transceudent Importance that has
elapsed for years and during which the
Republicans of Oregon almost held their
.. breath to catch some signul favorable to
success. The results of that mighty effort
all seemed for a time suspended on the con
duct of one man, nnd ho an avowed Repul
lienn. it is beyond the power of nm th
ematic to compute the mngmtudu ot a
failure in that awful crisis. The bare pos
sibility (hat lltnt one man would betray his
constituents, made the sweat start from the
pores of mora than a thousand Republicans.
If the danger could have, been known at
the East, the nation would hare paused
and prayed. We triumphed, thank God I
aud, while we hart BO word of harshness
to wound the feelings or Mr. Uolbrook,
'we honor, yea, we love, the noble Repub
licans who battled to the end to secure the
great result.

In sitting in our office to-day, after
several wciks observation of the effect! of
the election of Lincoln, we feel comfortable.
Five veers aw to-der we it here wielding 1
ur pen for the right, amidst aa almost .
impenetrable gloom. Republicanism wai
then looked upon as a hideous monster by
nearly all of our Democratic friends, while,
among the " opposition," few could be found
who were willing to admit thut Republican
ism could ever form the basis of a powerful
parly hero or elsewhere. Republicanism
then had lew worshia:ra among the masses
of our citizens, because they were misin
formed as to its principles, while among
unprincipled politicians it had few to
do it homage, btcuuse it wasn't considered
the "rising sun." The election of Col.
Baker to the U. S. Senate was (he firxt
indication seen by the blind devotees of
Democracy that the sun of Republicanism
was coming op. That triumph, contrary
to the predictions of the enemy, was the
broad daylight that preceded the rising
sun in this State. The State eleitious in
Pennsylvania and Indiana over, aud Dem
crats saw the lull-orbed sun fairly above
the horizon. Since the election of Lin
coln, office-holders seem to be sutisfled that
the sun of Democracy has either gone
down entirely, or is setting behind a very
black cloud, while our sun is reported
by them to have reached an altitude of at
least furty-Gvc degrees, and ii still rising
The conscnueuco is that the faces of
worshipers whose noses lutely pointed west
ward, are now turned more than half way
round if not looking exactly east, with
mouths wide open. We have hud occasion
to notice that Democratic officials, wh'
few, mouths ugo alwuys looked sour uud
threatened a terrible crushing up of the
Union nnd things L'enernlly in casn of
Lincoln's election, are now denouncing dis
union in strong term', und fawning around
leading Republicans like hungry spuuiels.
Some of them have managed to get au
office, under nearly every administration
thut has been In power sinco Tyler's. Re
publicanism is now the " rising sun," and
they want n clerkship.

The Advertiser says that there is a great
war now going on between rival applicants
for office! iu this State under the incoming
administration, and thut " even those ster
ling advocates of Republicanism, the Argus
and Orcgoninn, have commenced a Kilken
ny fight over the claims of rival applicants."
This will be an item of news to the De
mocracy, as it wus to m. As there has
never been a word of dispute between th j
Argus and Orcgouiuii uu the umtter refer
red to, vc are at a loss to ascertain what
has led off the sagacious Advertiser, unless
it be the-lute controversy ou the character
of tho coming winter. As to the coming
developments of ' quarrels over the spoils,''
that tho Advertiser evidently hopes to
spice its columns with, we know uotliiug.
Every indication that we cun see, is highly
favorable to a goncrally satisfactory ar
rangement ul Washington of all couQ.ctiug
c'aims an urraugenvut, which, while it
will of course be a grievance to disappoint
ed applicants, will be satisfactory to the
Republican party throughout the entire
Stuto.
Our Democratic friends generally have
a good ileal of that sentiment It ft yet,
which, after they have no further hopes of
oflico themselves, will lead them to ap
preciate and approve tho rijht. They will
be satisfied by seeing Republicans appoint
ed to office who deeerve something. This
they expect will be the policy of a Repub
lican administration, although many of
them u ru not willing to admit that Lincoln
is patriot enough to riso above thu old
Democratic rule of distributing patronage
among party tools, however unqualified,
dishonest, nnd unpopular with thu people
ii i no Aiivcruser wimics to rutsu a
breeze, as wo know it would like to, it had
better keep its eye on d sappointcd appli
cants next spring, and uso the same soap
on them that the Democracy used on
Sewurd just after the Chicago Convention.
The times are interesting the papers
want " items," and we hope the Advertiser
will keep ono eye wide open.
Kfkp Cooi.. The Advocate of Southern
Methodism, at San Francisco, in speuking
ol the secession movement in the Democrat
ic party Smith, calls it a ' whirlwind that
seems to be upon us," and then advises its
pro slavery readers to ' keep cool and ims
sume no responsibilities until they legiti
mately come npon us" by which we un
derstand thut they musn't get in a passion
and raise the disunion flag at their camp-
meetings, till Yancey and Lane officially
notify them that they must "go out to
nuiko a stand." We would surest to
these brethren, that if they undertake a
" stand" of that kind, the result will bo a

will need as little advice about ' keeping

Such are the esUblished colleges of our
country, especially tho of the older
States, which every yenr send forth scores
aud hundreds of young men, prepared by u
liberal culture and careful discipline of tho
mind to heroine themselves the lent hers of
others, not only in the schools but in all
the professions.
Some persons decry the college because
it does not make every graduate an i-mi.
nent or especially useful man. But it is
forgotten bow large a majority of thoe
alio have patiently pursued the required
studies for four years iu a thorough college,
hare become tho leading men in their sev
eral professions positions they could not
h.iva uttsined or held by virtue of their
talents alone. The college enlarged their
views of all studies compelled them to

In order to attain a fair degree of knowl
edgeand, above all, taught them to be
humble. He only appreciates learning
who attempts to follow in the footsteps of
the learned. A t first ho runs, nnd hopes
to overtake and go beyond his teachers at
a few bounds, but snou with flagging gait
and wearied limb ho is compelled to find
himself still nearer the foot than the top of
the hill. He becomes then more teacha
ble, less' self-confident nnd haughty, and
thus more attentive and patient, belter
acquainted with his own capacities, and
better prepared to employ them for the
good of others.
Il was with some such views as these,
we nmlcrstuud, that Pacific University was
established. Its patrons felt thut there
were and that there would be many worthy
and promising youth iu Oregon who might,
by means of such nn institution, become a
greater blessing to themselves and greuter
benefactors of the State and the world.
But untrained, or left to casual develop
ment, they would accomplish little good.
The aim of this Institution is not merely
to discipline the intellect, but olso to nssist
in forming a high moral character. It has
been tho constant hope that it would be
eminently a Christian college. Its locali
ty, its surrounding friends, promote tlrs
hope. It has been steadily p rowing, not
perhaps iu tho number of pupils, but iu
the interest nnd confidence of the benevo
lent. The means are being collected to
increaso its corps of teachers nud facilities
of instruction. We do rot, however, look
for its mature fruits now, but we trust that
they will become n part, of the annual har
vest with which our State shall be enriched.
IxFinKi.irv. On Saturday evening 'of
last week, Mr. Theodore Burmester, of
Salem, delivered a lecture in the Court
house in this city in favor of infidelity.
The house was well filled, and the remarks
of the lecturer were listened to with the
politeness und attention characteristic of
au Oregon City audience, who have never
failed to treat with respect advocates of
whatever doctrine, whether Pro-Shivery
Democrats, Infidels, or Mormons. The
lecture was well written, liberally interspers
ed with quotations from standard authors,
and remarkably well delivered. Mr. Bur
mester is yet a young man, possessing tal
ents thut, if turned in the right direction,
might be a blessing to himself nnd his fel-Inw-mcn,
aud we feel sure that when accu
mulating years shall have matured his in
tellect an I sobered his passions, nothing in
his past life will cause him more regret than
his present course in endeavoring to destroy
that which constitutes man's only hope of
happiness beyond the grave.

sent him, that, although wo needed more

In September, 1859, during the atss'oa
of the National Masonic Convention In
Chicago, at the Instance of tho ladies
ureaent In that city a Society was formed
and a Constitution adopted, the object of
which la to raise funds lor completing tin
National Monument, now being erected to
the memory ol George Washington, end
its member nre composed of all Indies iu
the United States who limy contribute the
sum of fifty cents or more to this object.
There Is appointed, as regular officers of
the Society, a treasurer for each county In
every state of the Union, and a collecting
aireut for each and every Masonic Lode,
We learn that Mns. Aktonr Uolbrook,
of Oregon City, has lieen appointed Vice
President for this State, and will receive
contributions to that laudable enterprise.
At the lute election In California, boxes
were put up at tho polls to receive con
tributions in aid of the Monument. About
$10,000 were contributed. A similar ap
peal was intended to be made to the voters
of Oregon, but the address from the Presi
dent ol the Association was not received
in this Stato until after tho election.
We give place to the following extracts
from a comiiiuu'cation addressed to the
Society by Mrs. F.nlcy M. King, of New
York. She nays;
" Ijookinz ahme to the Masonic Frater
nity, there are, as near as I can ascertain,
in the United Slates about four thousand
liuliri.n with one hundred aud ciirhtv thou
und members, and about sixty liiousand
who nre not members then of if one-half ol
them will ifive ft I eaeh, it will provide
fund of of $120,000, being upwards of
fiftv ner cent, of u II the sums hitherto rais
ed for the Monument. But I am confident
that we shall not appeal in vain cither In
the Legislatures, the municipal corporations,
or In the (5 rami Lodges of the country,
for aid. Already has the Golden Stale
of the Pacific passed a law npprnpnatin;
tho annual sum or $1,000 to aid in the
erection of the Monument, and if I am cor-
ncilv informed, the erent Fraternity of
Freeinnsons in New York hnveeppropriiit1

memory of Washington ms a Mason, at
Frederii ksburir, Virginia, besides contribu

" We ought not, nnd cannot, then, look
with distrust upon the future iu the fruition
or onr hopes in the completion or the Mon
ument. The expense of Ihe obelisk whs
originally estimated at $5.12,000, and the
pnntheon nt a little nrrr this amount, and
vet the base, and one hundred nnd seventy
reel or the nljilisk. have been erected at an
expense or iiun.$23n,0l)n. t here yet re
main $322,00tf lo he raised, in order In
complete the Mj)aviment. It is not at nil
ccrtam that these estimates nre emirate,
vet, for tho" wniJTeitr estimates upon which
entire" reliance may Menaced, we must lor
tho present make lliuse the bases of onr
calculations, nnrf I think, with en.tijie confi
dence in the ability, enerjry, gallantry, nnd
patriotism of the male port;on ofAm-r'rnn
society, which is rcpri'sentorTby ihe Wash
iiigtoii National Mnqument Society.' we
may hand over lo thnm the duty of ruisinjr
$122,000 of this sikn, taking upon our
selves the labor of raising the balance,
$200,000."
This appeal is not confined to the Mason
ic Fraternity alone, hut to all who feel
on interest in the object to lie attained.

will succeed.

There was a great Republican demonstra
tion at Springfield, Illinois, Inst evening.
Lincoln, the 1'resuient elect, was called
out, and briefly relumed his thanks.
Senator Trumbull spoke at length, and
was understood to define Lincoln's policy.
He said that, although Mr. Lincoln waa
the candidate of the Republican party, as
Chief Magistrate he would belong neither
to that or any othej rBr,y. but would be
the President of thr who'e country. He
said he would defend the Stnte in which he
received no vote against the encroachment
on its constitutional rights as soon as he
would one in which he received the largest
majority. He remnrked that disnnionists
urged secession now or never, because, if
they waited until Lincoln was innni'unted,
they would hnve no cause for secession.
He siid that secession in the South would
piss sway and the Union would be pre
served, A better feeling prevailed in Georgia.
Lsrge meetings were held over the State,
but the sentiment was ninch more conserv
ative. All opposed coercion, aud some
declared that the election of IJncolu was
no cause for secession, but unfriendly legis
lation was an outrage demanding resist
ance. Several persons have been arrested in
