OREGON CITY:
SATUIUUY. JUNK 21, lSf.2.
On Ki.r.ctios ,r IIomk and Aproai.
Tliu union imJ co-opt ration, under n new
mime mul upon a new issue, of political el
cmeuts hitherto discordant and antagonistic,
aft'ord lessons and inferences which we aud
our neighbors ns well are not slow to np
prehcnd. The voluntary reminciution of
distinctive party mimes and platforms,
though nt first opposed by some of the
party leaders, proved so completely the
people's choice, nnd gained their npproval
so emphatically at the polls, that nil ohjec
tiou to this movement, either on the score
of principle or policy, has been convenient
ly abandoned and forgotten. That the
Republican party in this State should have
liccn somewnat elated ny tlie;r victory in
the triangular Presidential contest, was to
have been anticipated, yet that they might
reasonably expect, unassisted, to be able to
elict a Union Republican ticket, was a
view of the matter which they wisely for
bore to urge, and which was not allowed
to shape a decisiou on tiie question. Pixie
democracy in support of the traitor John
C. Breckinridge commanded iti this State a
vote of 5,00d, while the same style of
played-out sympathy with secession, in the
succeeding State election, when the thing
find fully developed itself, lost 2,000 votes,
aud if ths election were to go through
again within a month, would lo.-e a propor-
tionally large share of the remainder. The
Ponglas vote in this State was over a thou
sand behind that for the traitor Breck.
In California, where the contest was closest
between the Douglas men and the Ibpub-
licans, thev seem to have more difiicultv in
settling into the harness together than we
had lure, where the Breck men were
in a majority ovtr the Douglas wing.
Tho most mudfish, the wisest, ami the best
men in California ore iu favor of a fair
stand up fight for and against secession
for and against the Union. The result of
our election should be a guide for everv
honcot lover of the Union, and a warning
to every scheming political knave who is
opposed to any and every wind not filling
his own private sails. A good work has
been effected in this State by the fuller po
niicti emancipation oi men irom pr.'Cj.m-.s
and partisan obligations. No coterie of
, long-headed schemers of midmj.t caucus-
crs of saloon freipu-nting, whisky-drinking
politicians, can assume or exercise arbitrary
control over political matters in Oregon, as
' has been the case somewhat hitherto.
. Hereafter no man or set of nun can de
maud a party shibboleth, or damn the man
who fails to pronounce the old catch-word
" Democracy" with all the proper itiflec
"-t.oiis for the right of private judgment on
public questions is becoming generally re-
cognized, and mm are not to be ruled
out for the exercise of independent ideas on
llll questions of public interest, nnd panic
ularly in the choice of honist and enpabh
men for public place and position. The cx-
Candidate for Congress, with grormings nl-
most unutterulle, appealer to the pcr.pl
for office because he had been a life tony
democrat. How f.ir that goes, he roba-
bly realizes by this time, and also how
JJ much pood it did his cause, to rave about
y the abolitionists. No l ?s as an cp'ritivc
cause than nn encouraging i ff.-ct, our late
. election is valuable, and will hasten for-
tta.-d us well as indicate the extent of pro
. t 1 1 t
fccrcsa wc nave inauc nnu are making in

Oiuxox Cirv. We are pleased to v.
thot a spirit of improvement is beginning
to stir among our people, ami would be
glad if it could be multiplied tenfold.
Tli' n is i.o earthly reason, unleM it be
possible niieertuinty of title, why all kinds
of machinery which this country justifies
should not be carrier on at this point,
'fringing Into profitable u-c an iminwise
amount of power now idle urn unproduc
tive. Justice to property-holders in this
place, no less than to the claimants, de
mands that the title be finally Ret at ret-i,
in order that improvement be stimulated,
and that capitalists may be induced to in
vest, developing latent wealth in the water
power, which is ife, clinit, nnd infinite iu
extent.
The rocks above Oregon City look more
. barren and .the obstruction to navigation
by the Falls more like a nuisance than ever
before, Kvery indication Irom nutural ad
vantaged is in favor of this point becoming
a renter of manufacturing (or the State,
owl. iU destiny fdiould be observed and im
proved. ., , toT Two of our Slate officers elect have
been seriously, if not dutigcromdy ill since
the election. Gov. Uibbs has hud a ueveu
attack of typhus fever, from which he is
lowly recovering.
Ilarvcy Gordon, State Printer elect, is
considered in a dangerous condition being
.. ofllicted witn a bronchial nfh'etion. Ho is
at prencnt over at Voncalli, In Umprpm
county, whither he had gone on account of
hir health.
66" Col. De Bussey, U. S. A., has re.
ccntly paid a visit to Astoria, for the pur
pose of surveying for fortifications in the
vicinity of the mouth of the Columbia Riv
er. It has always seemed to us that the
lessons w hich were taught tho world by the
recent naval engagements on our A tlautic
seaboard, and interior rivers, as to the
inefficiency of forts compared with iron
clad gunboats as a means of harbor de
fense, ought to have stimulated what little
representation we have in Congress to a
persistent effort nt directing appropriations
for Pacific coast defences in other channels
than those which lead to the construction
of old logy forts, which can be passed with
impunity by iron clad vessels, or which are
liable to do but little damage to wooden
vessels under a stiff breeze or a full head of
steam. Wc have lately received a private
letter from a U. S. Naval officer in Cali
fornia, who says:
' It is universally acknowledged that tin y
(, fortifications') are useless. Our harbor is
o easy of access that an enemy can come
in, in a fog, or at nie;lit, as easily as at
bright noon day. The harbor is so large
that it cannot be defended by stationary
fortifications. Tho bill for an iron-clad
gunboat did not pass the Senate of Califor
nia, there being so many persons of intlii
eneo about who wanted to make a dollar
or so out ol the job. What a curse to the
country, when not even the means of de-
t. use Irom a ruthless Toe who sits so near . (."Vluinbiu ami from Astoria to the Cas

gin, ny mi, jj, r-i.iiatc,
AsToiti.i. Kd. Argus: After traveling
to different parts of the country, 1 inn well
satisfied that Astoria has natural ndvnn
tages that no other place on the Columbia
or Willamette river has, nnd before long
these advantages will be appreciated, nnd
! they arc already beginning to attract the
attention of capitalists iu California. The
health of the place cannot bo questioned
tho harbor is well sheltered the town has
an excellent wharf, In sides u good school
good water, io ; and, after all that has
been done to turn trade from its nutural
channel, still 1 find business looking to a
permanent location at this point, nnd ar
rangements for building going on. Some
might think that while the towns and farms
on tho upper fivers were being inundated,
and subject to the same calamity once am
ttcict every year, that this town would
share a similar fate, but Astoria is not af
fected by high water at all, owing to the
width of the mouth of the Coliinihin, am!
tluvebb and How of the tide.
I regard it as inevitable that Astoria
w ill become, at a day not fur distant, to
Oregon and Washington, what San Imuii
ciseo is to California a depot for the
trade of the upper country and the point
from which river steamers will start, to do
the carrying business direct to the Kails of
the Willamette mul to the Cascades of the
conducted, is a continual tax upon the
trade and commerce of the country, which
only tends to enrich a few who have al
ready crown wealthy on the labor mid at
the expense ot the best interests of the
many. The project of cstablishirg n line
of steamers from San 1-Yaneiseo to Astoria
has been seriously entertained in California,
and whiNt there not long since I under
stood that the arrangements w ere about all
completed for that purpose, aud that the
line would shortly bo in operation, but
since reaching Oregon I lenrii that the pro
jeel is laid by for the present probably
the movi r has been subsidized by the old
line, and induct d to forego his noble enter
prise. But, however this may be, smh
efforts, though they nciy for a time retard,
cannot ultiinati !y cheek the stream of trade
from flowing in its natural course. A
elauce at the map, ami a mere ncqii lint
.nice with the laws which govern eomnn ree,
will satisfy iiny one that some point nt the
mouth of the Columbia River is destln'-d to
be the erand entrepot of all the country
numbers yet to perform all that is o be
expected of ties country.
These thoughts have been suggested by
a few weeks' travel ami observation in Or
