Jn considering the policy to lie niloptcil

been anxious nml enreful that the itievitii-
Wo conflict for this purpose, shall not de-
generate into n violent, remorseless, rovo -
lutioniiry struggle. 1 linve, therefore, lelt
it to lie proper, to keep the integrity ot the
i moil prominent ns uie pi unary ojeci oi
the contest on our part, Iciivinir all ones-
lions which nre not ol vital importance, to
1 lie more deliberate action ol the Legisln-
tnre. In the exercise of inv best discretion
I have adhered to a blockade of the ports
iiciii ny ine insurgents, msuiui oi pumug
in force by proclamation, the law of Con
gress, enacted nt the late session, for clo
sing the i ons, also oocying ine inclines oi
precedent, as well as the obligation ol law.
Instead of transcending, I have ndhered to j
the Act of Congress to confiscate property
used for insurrectionary purposes. If a '
in w law upon the same suliju t, shall lo
proposed, it will bo duly considered. The
Union must be preserved, nnd hence all de
fensive means should be employed. We
should not be in haste to i!t termine what
radical and extreme measures, which may
reach the loyal, as well as the disloyal, nre
indispensable. The inaugural address at
the beginning of my administration, and
the message to Congress at the late special
session, were both mainly devoted to the
domestic controversy, out of which the in
surrection, nnd consequent war have arisen.
Nothing now occurs to add to or subtract
irotn uie principles or general purposes s:a-
led Hiid expressed in those documents.
The lust ray of hope for preserving the
I inon peaceably, expired at the assault on ,.npital, tn! deserves much the higher con
Fort Smutcr, and a general review of sideration. Oipital has its rights, which
what has occurred since, may not be nn- re as worthy of protection as any other
profitable. What was painfully uncertain r;i;,t) m,r js" jt denied that there 'is, and
then, is much belter defined, nnd more dis- j probably always will be, a certain relation
tiuct now, and the progress of events is .between labor "nnd capital, producing mil-
piuiniy in ine rigui direction, ine insur
gents confidently claimed a strong support
from North ol .Mason and Pixoii's line.
The friends of tl.e Union, were not free
from apprehension on this point. This,
however, was soon settled definitely on the
right side. South of the line, noble little
Delaware went off right, from the first.
Maryland was made to seem against the
Union; our soldiers were assaulted, bridges
were burned, nnd railroads were torn up
within her limits, nnd we were many days
nt one time without the ability to bring a
single regiment over her soil to the I'api
tal. Now, her bridges and In r railro.ids
nre repaired nnd opened to the (Severn
mi nt. She already gives seven regiments
to the cause of the Union, and none to the
enemy, nnd her piople nt a ri gid. r election

1 there is one point with its connections not
So backward ns most others, to which I
nsK. briel ntteiition. It is an effort lo
: place capital on nn cijiml footing with, il
not above, labor, in the structure of the
government. It is assumed that labor
only available in connection with capital,
ti, noluvlv labors unless somebody else
owning capital somehow, or has the use of
it, induces him to labor. I his assumed, it
is next considered whether capital shall
hire labor, and thus induce them to work
by their own consent, or buy them nnd
drive them to it without their consent
Having proceeded so far, it is naturally
concluded that nil laborers nre either hired
laborers or what we call slaves: nnd fur
ther, it is assumed that whoever is once n
hired laborer is lived in that condition for
life. Now, there is no such relation be
tween capital nnd labor, ns assumed, nor is
there any such thing ns u tree man being
fixed for life in the condition of n hired la
borer. !oth these assumptions nre false,
and all inferences from them are groundless
Labor is prior to nml independent of onpi-
( t,,. Capital is only the fruits or labor,
!lm ii,-vt r could have existed if labor hail
not first exisbd. Labor is the superior of
tnal benefit. The error is in assuming that
the whole labor f a community exists with
in that relation, as few men have capital,
.ind that few hire laborers, and with their
capital hire or buy a few to labor for them.
A large majority belong to neither class
neither work for others nor have others
working for them. In most of the South
ern States a majority of the people of all
colors nre neither slaves nor masters', while
in the Northern, a large majority are nei
ther hired i. or hire--men, with their fami
lies, wives, and sons, and daughters, work
ing for themselves, on their farms, in their
houses, and elsewhere, taking the whole
product to thcmsikts, and asking no fa
vors of capital on the one hand, nor of
hired laborers or slaves, on the other. It
is not forgotten thai a considerable number
of pii-soin mingle their own labor with
capital. That i', they labor with their
own hands nnd also buy or hire otlurs to
labor lor (hem; but this is only a mi veil
nnd not a. d'stinet class. No principle
srM'd i-d:s!in-b. i! by iV existence of tl "
D.Mii.d class. Again, as has n'n ady been
sail!, thtr. is not necissarily any such thing
as the free hired laborer being fixed for
ll.nt condition lor life. .Many iudepi ndetit
persons in tin se Stab1, n few years back
in tie ir lives, were hin d laborers. The
most prudent penniless leginuer in the
worid labors for wages aw hile, and saves
n surplus with which to Lnr tools or lands
forhiii-ilf. II Iheti labors on his own

Jifi Jwttr v.irrilun.
The near approach of tho timo when II
has been custonmry to niako some arrange
ment for the spring election, has elicited a
good deal of iiiiiiiry as to w hat prepara
tions ought to bo made for the next xlit i -
oil canvass in tins Mate, ilia buttle that
is now Deing waged witn tlio great pro-
slavery rebellion that has long been in the
progress of development, hus, for the limn
being, pushed old political issue iu the
background d wo find ourselves placed
in n new position towards many of our fel-
low-citizens with whom we linvo heretofore
been in political antagonism. A general
sentiment seems to hnve seized hold of the
public mind, that there ought to bo a me
ion of all such men ts are iu fuvor of sup-
porting the Administration in its efforts to
put down rebellion. That there ought to
be such a union, is, lo our iniml, very plain
bid tho best and safest method to cITecl il
w hile it may bo very plain to some, seems
to have staggered many well meaning men.
We are induced to offer a few suggestions
on this matter, by the urgent solicitations
of many Republicans who hnvo written to
us, and partly because tho matter has been
ulreadv discussed in a portion or the tniblie
press in Oregon. Wc have no rears what
ever, that in any contingency any Hirliou
or a secession ticket w hich will probably
be run by the Lane tools under the name
of the " Constitutional democracy,'' can lie
h-etrd in this State. It will be buried iu
oblivion by nn overwhelming majority
wherever they run up the pirate llnj
whether there be two or more tickets iu the
field.
Three fourths or more of the eople of
this State will vote some kind of n I'nion
ticket. The only oticstion now is, shall
tliere be two Union tickets in the field, or
only one.' 1 he idea held liy some liepuh-
lienns that wc ought to hold a ooiiuntion,
and tiomin.iV a lull Republican ticket,
without taking any steps to secure tho eo-
oK-ration of the loyal portion of oilier po-
Illicit I parties, is, we think, a mistaken one.
no ran sec no reas.in wny wnai is ae
nominated os the " Union democracy,"
who are ns much in favor of maintaining
the Government ns we, nnd who nre will
ing to sacrifice I. re ami property to sccun
its safety, should not be invited at leusl to
unite with us upon what we may think to
be a just nnd equitable basis. Wc aro
nut sufficiently posted as to their desires
and purposes to know whether suelt a
Union could be tffected or not. ir it can-
lint, it fchu!d not be our fault. If all who
inter, st themselves in politics were honest,
disinterested, nnd pntriolii: enough to lovo
their country above party and ieroiml
j.refernient, there would be no d;flictlHj
whatever in the way and il the Union
vote of Oregon should be divided between
two tickets next Juno, it will be in conse
quence of the inordinate ambition of dema
gogues In re, as it w as iu Cuhfoniio, with
the JUlue n suits ia ihe ci.d. w
In canvassing this subject, wo might
just us well look ut the lacU precisely us
they ure. We are couicllcd to take things
ju.it as we find them, und liol us wc would
have ihem. Jf there were only two parties
iu Oregon, w ith all Union Jlemocruts or all
Hi hiiblieans on one tide, with the inisera
ble iruitor faction headed by Lano on tho
other, there would bo some difficulty. UH
Iherealwnvs is in making ll.e ,,nrtv m.
thinery woik smoothly, from tho fact that
nvul tundiu.itei for olheo ore almost ure
to sit up litul cluims, diflicult lo Lo ro-
concihd to the MUi.sfue.tion of ull purlieu.
The difficulty increases iu a tun fold proor-
tion when it is attempted to blend two
pnrtics, hitherto niitagoniktio and unrclent-
ingly hostile on vitul issues, into one purty,
upon a common platform, no mailer how
strong may bu tho Loud of union (hut at-
tracts them together. Although wo reel
like Inking tvery loyal Union-loving Dem
ocrat by the hund, and inviting liitu to co-
operntu with us In our efforts to savo the
(j'jvcrninent - und wc presume that they
feel tipiully cordial towards us yet tho
fact utands out ns plainly us anything can,
that those who cull thcmelvej " Union
Democrats" nnd those who cull thomselrei
Republicans combine twit parties, ami not
onr, in Oregon. If they compose ono par-
ty, with the same record, tho boiiio plat-
form in every respect, tho kuiiio aspirants,
and the same leaders, then there might he
soma Kci.su in their nil meeting together in
general convention lo nominate u State
ticket- Or iT tho prominent politician hi
both parties wero nil truly honest, patriotic,
nnd iiublimlcd by persuiiul Interest nnd In
ordinuto oinbilion, then tho two parties
might surely meet together lo nomiuuto a
State ticket. Such s convention might be
cxpeded to pluce befitro tho Union voters
ol the Statu u ticket composed or tho
iiutiKS ol such men as arc known to ho
holiest, Hij,nbli'( nnd loynl - mm trhmr
fxixl record is without n sluiit. Such
ticket is what we must Imvo, and can gel
but we never shall get it by any mk
hotcli potch arrangement ns n general Un
ion convention. It is not necessary to dis
cuss this matter nt length here, but wo
wish to warn our friends, Union Demo
crats nnd llepublicatis, against sanctioning
such n course. It will end in bickerings
nnd jealousies that will hang like a dead
weight on the ticket, ifil doseu't defeat it
entirely. It will be building up n structure
that sooner or later must be torn down.
Wo think that one of two plans ought to
be adopted. Milher let the Hepublienn
State Committee call a Republican con
vention to nominate i Union ticket, or let
them call the convention in the usual way
Let our Union democratic friends, if ihey
choose, cull 'heir convention, to inert at
tho same time nml place. These Iwocon
editions can confer together, and agree
upon n ticket that will bo satisfactory to
all parties, ami which will carry more
strength than n ticket gotten up m any
other way. Such an iirraiigement would
bo fair, honorable, satisfactory, nnd safe;
while any other will, in our humble opin
ion, bo ruinous. Men who have nxes to
grind, and who huve been, by much cor
rcspondence, tickling each other with the
idea that they are to be candidates before
a grand Union convention, will not I ke
this arrangement, but honest politicians of
common sagacity, we think, will

that the sumo general causes which opiia
led to produce the unprecdented flood In
the Willamette valley, had more or less I

Oregon however, with peculiar severity
The body of (inruer, drow ned near Cor

has been recovered. Also the body of our '
of Mr. (icorge's children.
The second rise lit Oregon City, lucked

their wny toward the land of gold. Our
of the largest, if not ihe st stories frnm
Salmon, is that our fellow townsman Mr.
Rridgrs took out JU0 ounces in two hours
The liainii of these new minis suggests
it fishy idea, but we hope thi re is no lish iu

jade from the older mining; localities, iu
the spring, than has been known since the
curly days. We im line to the belief that
farmers will consult their own intere:.ts ns
well as the permanent prost erity or the
country, by using hoiie.sl industry to dig
out gold nt home in the shape of f irm pro
duets in golden harvisls of wheat, in ev
ery thing that miicrs need, mid thut we
can profitably supply.
