Tho disunion scoundrel of the Cotton Stutes put their book In tlio now of that parly In 1851, In ordor to muko ft itowerful ally In overturning tho Government. They hare led the party hither and thither, wak ing all sort of crook i and tiirm In the winding and devious path that led to down right overt treason. The disunion leaders, wishing to ace what kind of atuflT tho party wu eiade of, and how pliablo and unprin cipled iU Northern leaden were, put the party through a regular course of turning and twisting tactics. In 1851, they con sequently ordered tlio party to repudiate it old doctrine that " slavery h mtrtly a trtuturt of local law, and only lo In hi. eralrd in the States vhert it trltli, as an trit,n and swallow " my gur-reat jwr-rin-tilth," or the " right of the jxujde uf the Territories I reyulate their own domettie institutions in their own tray." No sooner was the order given than tho great iiiom of tho party (luffed their huts and hurruhed for " squatter tov-renily " oa the corner atone of all true government the principle oar futhcra fought and Lied for a divine fledgeling hatched out of an egg luid on l)oard tho '.May flower ' hy tho Goddess of Liberty herself. Tho young cay let hud, somehow or other, hid Itself iu tho clefts of riymonth Rock uon the landing of tho rilgrim, and was thought no more of till Douglas ono morning (in reaching down for plug of tobacco) drew tho ceh-atinl bird from his breeches pocket, Into which Atchison had thrust It, and, at tho bidding of Yancey and Toombs, held It up ns an object of worship to the astonished gazo of nil the unwashed. Democrats everywhere dashed their former Idol lo tho ground, spit on them, nud, with grins of Intense satisfaction, rushed around tho bird, ad mired its plumage, and Lcprgvil tho privi lego of stroking it. From lSiichniian down to Dolf and Kelly, they Imagined ils melo dious voice was sweeter than thut of tlio lira, nmi nun nun loiuinuia " never wus piied so sweetly ns by this bird as it sqiint- tod ou tho pulm of Douglas. It wns vain thnt wo told them it was nn obscene bird, hatched from a "bad egg." Th Democrats all averred that the ' conception of it wns tho very intensity of ' happiness,' known only of courso to the gods. They even " wondered how any man could think otherwise.'' Tho Democrats nil begged Douglas for even a sinull feather from its toil for n plume. In 1850, tho salamanders wishing lo mako another experiment in order to still further test tlio plinbility of Northern doughfacclsin, called a halt, and ordered tho party to mnko n right-about-fiico move ment. Round went tho purly so quickly that tho hind sido of their breeches stuck straight out before " Now," said tho sal amanders, " tako those feathers out of your caps." No sooner said than obeyed. The nc.t order was to swallow Lccompton, not ns contradictory really of " my great prin ciple," but rather ns explanatory of it or rather ns a new development ol squatter sovereignty progressing under difficulties. This wns rather a tough dose, but the pur ty generally got it down. Those who re fused to tnko it were kicked out us " Ulnck Republicans." Up to thin timo nil Demo crats wcro permitted to hnrruh for tho Un ion. They wcro ullowcd to go for tho UbIou under all cimimnhmcet. Tho mo Bent Lecompton wns down their throats, they wcro ordered to cense saying that sla very was nn " evil," nud begin to swear that it was a " blessing." They wero also required In all their Union harunirues to eay they wero " for tho Union under cer tain contingencies." Their organs in nil tho Northern States wero required, on pain of losing the clinnee of pocketing no ocoa sional contribution of live or ten dollars, to pralso everything Southern, and benienn everything Northern. Rotten abolition npostntcs, liko poor Slater, wero required to lay it on a little thicker than tho rest of i the scribes. During all this time, Northern doughfaces woro required to dwell loud and long on " Southern rights," and to bo pa ticularly careful never to let their renders know that tho North hnd any rights. Tho Republican party said, we desire to Infringo upon no constitutional rights be longing to tho South. If wo control tho Government, we will guaranty to the South all its constitutional rights. Tho donh faces wcro now in a quandary. As usual, tney asked their disunion masters what to any. " Tell them," said Vnnccy, " they must enforce the Constitution as under Btood by us." " Vnss, yass," echoed the donglifuccs from llrown down to Slater "you must enforce the Constitution us understood by them" Well, said tho Re publicans, what 'rights' do you discover iu mo Constitution that Washington, Jef ferson, Clay, nud Webster never saw there, and which even Iiuchanuu, Yancey, and none of you saw there .ten years "ago? The'salninntiders who want no more free States, and who know vuy well that there never will be any more if slavery is allowed to go into all the Territories, and is there protected by a congressional slave code cry out, " Tell them that they mnst give ui a slave code, or we wil! dUsolv tho Union.' I " Vau give 'em their righti give 'em protection for their frorty, or they'll dis solve the ulou," snivel the organ-grinders, while their readers say amen. The Southern disunlonlsts knew very well, after all these exrimcnU with North ern doughfaces, that nothing would balk them, even to Justifying treason, if they were too cowardly to engage In It them selves. In 1861, we find lew Democrats, who still call themselves such, but what tayvu Htawfc, Ad anonymous writer In Ihe Farmer charges Mr. Rockwell with having Import ed scabby sheep into this valley.

Tho history of politic since 18&1 show that tho lenders of tho Do mocmcy oro generally as devoid of princi ple and pal riot ism as Jo Lnue. In the scccKtinii movement they havo finally thrown off tho mak, and revealed their truo colors. They stand up before a dis gusted civilization tho samo enemies of everything coed which wo havo all the timo said they wcro. " fine stock." The most of us cume from the Western frontiers, and left before stock raisers had begun to Improve the common breeds much. As a general thing, thoy hadn't yet found out tho difference botweon a " pruirio pointer" aud a " Suffolk" a stallion whose pedigree could be traced back through half a dozen generations of scrub mothers to his grca great graudsiro, " tho celebrated Levl-a-than," was thought to be tho crfcction of borso flesh better of courso than a full-blood " Morgan." It took somo of us several years, after we came to this coast, to learn that tlirro was really any dilfercnco between a " seedling" opplo and the choicest grafted fruit. Southern Illinois, Arkansas, and Missouri, wo believe, wcro noted localities fifteen years ago for producing (he most worthless scrubby slock Iu almost tho entire Union yet twelve years sinco wo remem ber well that in Oregon th highest en comium that could bo pronounced upon a horso was, with many, that " he was fooled by a full-bloeded Missouri mar." If the " World's Fair" had offered n premium of a bnlf million dollars for tho best plow, there would unquestionably havo been several of our wooden tnold-bvnrd structures scraped off and scut Kust on pnek animals, to compete for tho prize. Rut tho laws of Tho tirotm-tinn nf tlm progress, liko nil oilier laws, work remark- nccessurily remain ns n able changes on this conit In a very short timo. Tho gold mines brought on Fastcru merchants, whoso imported steel plows took tho field and tho 1 1'iko' structures wcro thrown into tho corners of the fences. Ladd and Luclling' havo driven seedling orchards out of tho State and other ben efactors of tho raco arc rapidly depreciating the prico ol scrubby stock, by imitorting better breeds. Although the general fueling is In favor of improved stock ( especially in sheep), wo very frequently hear sensiblo men in diff rent parts of the country speaking ns though this " improved stock" which has been offered for sale iu this valley was nil a " humbug," and thut the " importers" were actually damaging us by " importing" diseases Into tho country. Tho notices ol " Iiul Jones," nud " Rockwell's bucks," which havo been published In tlio Farmer, hove probably been somewhat colored, ns they wero written by men who oro inter ested In the sale or profits of tho animals they themselves havo brought hero nt n heavy expense. All men nre liable to ovcrrato what they wish to sell, when ad vertising it, and do it honestly too. How tunny men nro there who represent their scrubs as tlio " very best stock in the coun try," and really brfkv: what they say? As to tho sheep b ;sincss, we have taken considerable pains to investigate tho pres ent nnd prospective interests of Oregon in that matter. Wo havo made our figures, and nro fully satisfied that shecp-ruising will always bo n sure sourco of profit hero. Horses, cattle, hogs, and grain raising may bo overdone but sheep-raising never will be, as long ns our sheep havo proper attention. Whether these imported bucks arc all that is cluinted for them, we care not to enquire. Wo have seen some of t'ram Woblasloa. From a privuto letter written by Col. Ra ker, Jan. 13, we extract a few sentences that may bo of public interest: " In regard to tho great meas ures now pending before Congress, in which Oregon has a deep Interest, to wit, the war debt bill, tho Pacific Railroad, and protection to tho frontiers, I can only say that for each and all, I am doing my very best ; but you must remember thut to-day wo seem to be upon tho very brink of war; and I need not tell you thnt war Is tho great enemy of all tho arts of peace aud progress.
