Tbo wjr private publle functionary
whose name bead this arid la baa at the
itruat-iit ctillt'ul conjuncture of political nf-
fuira publbdicd an nddreM to tbo jtcople of
Oregon. Ho aura tbut "nil must know
they era in ouio sort rwjKMiiiljIo for tbo
final IntiiP, bo that what it may, and it bo
cornea ui to look tbo matter fulrljr iu tbo
face, calmly, dlpoKiioiiatcly, and without
bins. Nor la it tbo tinlo to smother couu
gel and an Interchange of opinions by an
over xcat for any particular lnn whleh In
tbo tnd may proro failure." Willi these
binU tuken from tbo " Address" in que
lion, let iu try Joint Whltcnkcr, and see
where Ida Influence ia cant at this try In
hour. Ict an ascertain, if possible, tbo
grado of bia patriotism or his treason.
John Whltcnkcr la fur peace; Jeff Davis
aara As la. John Whilcokcr advise tbo
President to vncalo and give up tbo forts,
arwnuln, dockyards, and otber public prop-
crty In tbo acceded Slates, to the traitors;
Jtfl Davis baa desired, rcipicatcd, and do
inandcd tbo wiiuo betruyal ell tbo time.
Jeff ia opHMcd to coertlon; so Ia John.
Jeff wants to bo let alone, and John says
that JoflT should bo let alono. JcfT fuvoni
that which will accomplii.li his traitorous
designs of breaking up tlio Union and es
tablishing a Southern confederacy; and so
iilso docs John. A Southern confederacy
is a fixed fnet if half of the Northern States
should adopt neutrality. Of courso Jeff
works hard by proclamations, threats, and
addresses, to dirldo Northern sentiment
nnd prodnco neutrality; nnd John bos put
In bis littlo " oddi-ess" for the sanio purpose.
Jeff says it ia Impossible to coniiol traitors
intosuhjection; sojohiitlunks. Ji ff would
icier ino uovermneui irom using uh power
to put down rebellion by the use of such
cpltheto ns " civil war," " guieldal policy,"
" fraternal bloodshed," " awful conso
fpienccs"; which isju.it about tlio langungo
of John. JcfT thinks tlio South has just
provocation for rebellion, nnd John petti
fogs tho caso with all his sterility. In
Jeff's, opinion, tlio South is right and iho
North wrong; Just so Is John's opinion.
Finally, and hi short, nny act, policy, or
opinion promotiro of tho speedy success of
tho Aigfftr Empire nnd tho disruption of
tho present republican form of govern
ment, will find ndvocntes in .KIT nnd John.
In other resccts, these " twin relics of
barbarism" ore very dissimilar. Jeff docs
not pretend to bo less tbnu a traitor to tho
Constitution nnd Government; whereas
John doubles his treachery with n fulsc
pretense of patriotism. Jefi', too, Is a dis
tinguished traitor, while John is very ob
scure. Jeff has lino talents, but John is n
ninny. Jeff loves treason for what ho can
muko out of it; John loves it for its own
sitko. Jeff will live in eveilnsting infamy,
tho peer of Benedict Arnold, while John
will sink In oblivion. Jeff, by his skill, his
knowledge, his intellect, his energy, and
his treachery, beciinio tlio military dictator
of tlio grtat jro-itlavrry nbullion; while
John will novcr bo noted for anything ex
cept tlmt ho was tho creature of n vilo par
tisan combination which mada him tho first
Uovornor.of Oregon.
It is to be 1iomh1 that tho loyal people
of theso United Slates will crush tho
rebellion nnd lung Jeff, nnd that the
people of this State will require other qual
ifications for oflieo limn tlioso possessed by
John Whltcnkcr, viz: a barbarous desire to
extend tho truffle in human flesh. t.

It wns not a party question, norn question

Why the Cannon Tent is Closed af
ter a Discharge. There aro nlways left
in a cannon after a discharge, pieces of the
cartridge bag oa fire, and if tho sponge is
passed down the bore without closing the
vent, a draft of air is created which funs
tho flame; but if the vent bo closed, the
smoko is compressed around tho burning
cloths and tho firo ia smothered. Some
times, when firing in the dark, a man can
not find tho vent until the sponge is put
in; tiien tho flamo will stream from the
