courses upon tlio proper way to inaiinpc
thu coining election. Willi your permis
sion, I would niitiro some of the points
made; believing lliein to Im liieoicistent
and strongly savoring of that very parly
selfishness which in words the nrliclu ho
earnestly ignores. The Statesman Kays:
" If wo believed they (thy lleptiblicans)
would conserve its (the Cnion's) existence
In st, single -hauih'il, we would w illingly ac
cord them a monopoly ol the renown, cV"
Again " It will not be nssuiued, wo think,
that the Kcpiihlicau pally is ublo to fur
ih nil thu means, do u 11 the fighting and
all tho voting necessary to thu putting
down of this rebellion "
Thu principle iiNsinued in these quota

proposition were true, then on the same
' I "
principle the portion of the people carry-1
iug elections would hnre to pny all the
taxes. Hut we have never practiced nny
such absurdity. On the contrary, all loy-

L'overuiuent, and suiiporl it in ull respects,

bly strange, admitting the Statesman to be j
both honest nud logical, that it should
have admitted a rank secession principle
into on article written specially for the 1
purpose of perpetuating thu Union of these
Slates.
When the Statesman or any Union men
indicate that thu llepublicnus ihi not
run a ticket, or " st cession will prevail," it
haves the statement of the case to be this:
The Republican parly elected a President;
and JilT Davii nud others said, " We will
secede." Tim Statesman says; ' R. - publi -
cans, you elected the President nud the
ofl'ii-crs, fW we have agreed to; but ym
mtut nvl try In flirt nmj more.' Now, if
this is a fair stnteine.it, and 1 think it is,
the dilTercnce between the Statesman, with
th.M! who agree to ils theory, and seccs -
si.ii.isH, is not so much as could be desired,
We nnd Union men who think and rcn -
rightly, ns w, II as lo feel right. False
Ibeories make niueh trouble; iu connexion

fool lie
w ould bo considered a wiso man, n patriot.
What Is onr government worth if the niero
prejudice of a name is to cause its destruc
tion? Again: "It is evident that with two
tickets nominated ns 1 pence' and ' republi
can,' secession will prevoil; nud the smiic
result is equally certain with any three
tickets, In tho field." Inlhoeasc of two
tickets, hccussion nnd Republican, I would
earnestly Inquire: will tlio editor of tho
Slntesmnn volo secession? Will Messrs.
Gordon, Harding, 1 Until, vote tho disunion
ticket? Will our esteemed Judgo Uoiso
do It? Not nny of these; they nro Union
men. Well, who will do it? Let tho
mail bo pointed out who will do so, not nn
ignoramus, nud wo behold a traitor. Why
then use this kind of scare crow to ' coerce'
men into n Union pnrly? Supposo there
were traitors enough among professed Un
ion Dcmocrals lo cause secession lo pre
vail; would not tho fiitni'i) interest of the
country bo promoted by knowing who they
nre? If I belioved Union Deinocrnls were
110 iiuiro sincere than tho Sliitesinnn pro
fesses lo think, I would not think of n un
ion with them under any consideration.

gon is largely in ttio majority. Tho loyal

In short, tho Ileptiblienns have done no
thing to make themselves odious; they ore
loyal to their country, lying under no sus-
picion of secession proclivities; they nro in
the ascendency in Oregon, if any purty is,
