Freedom of Sjie-icH nud Freedom of the Ircss. There are certain politicians and partisan press s throughout the loyal North wlio are constant ly mouthing these sacred words, as though they really inu.int to give the. public to understand that "they were the only truly disinterested advo catos of these great cafdiiiiil principles, aud were sincerely devoted to the maintenance) of these .great caidinal rights of a free people. To test their siucurity, it is only necessary to let those whom they stigmatize as abolitionists speak out against si very, hen the cry of these men is, arrest them, send them to Fort Wurreu, Fort Lafayette, or some nllier (Jovernment prison. Their idea of iivc-hiiii of speech and of free dom of the pr-ss seems to have this extent, no inure,- freedom for u to advocate and defend lasiy,-ltr our Juu' tsutitlircu .brethren's sake, but no freedom to speak or print a word against it! Whet- Charles I.igersoll, of Philadelphia, is arrested and imprisoned fur denouncing the Ad ministration (if Mr. Lineolu foolishly, us we tli.u';, ami no d.iulit the Ad oiiiisi ration were of the same opinion, these sticklers for free speech mi J a free pr-ss cry out tyranny, despotism, etc. 11 it in tiu' next breath th.y are like Joe Greg tiry's wife, on the ra ;;.!. because Mr. Wchdjll l'a .Hi us aa J .Mr. Horace Givoh y are notnrrested for exercising this .-a me right of free speech, of which these sa ue gentlemen claim to be the champions, pur excellence. Just now t li -ro is a spasmodic effort going on in the country among the seedy politicians of the Democratic seh ml, to resuscitate the old Demo cratic party witii a view as they say but more e pecially wi h a view, as we think, to office, lo maintain these old doclrinesof free speech. Mr. Vullaudigham makes speeches in Ohio and elsewhere, brim full of freedom and of free speech; and Mr. Thomas 15. Florence of Wash ington, starts a paper in Philadelphia to advocate these very principles. But let tin abolitionist speak any where in the treo North, aud they are among the first to cry out, "away with him, cm cify him." We do not say that cither Mr. Vul laudigham or Mr. Florence do this personally; but we do say that they arc the representatives, of a class, and that they ulliliate politically with those who do it. Now, if these people mean anything by their advocacy of free speech and a free press, let us have it ull around tho board. If they claim the right to talk and print in fovor of slavery, let those who wish it have the same right to talk and print their views against it Said the illustrious Webster : "Living, I shall assert the right of free discussion ; dying, I shall assert it; and if I leave no other inheritance to my children, I will leave them the inheritance of free principle and the example of a manly and independent defence of thein." Xational lie publican. Coxobessiosal Casvass. Iii the present na Clonal House of representatives thero aro 107 Jlepublicans, 43 Democrats, and 2!) Border State Unionists three fourths of whom vote with the Democrats on the negro question. Un der the new apportionment, the six New Eng land Suites have twenty five members. One Democrat has been elected in Maine, and two others may be chosen in Connecticut, l'ut ex tending the probabilities in their favor, the Ad ministration can reckon with certainty upon twenty cf the twenty-fivo New Engluml votes. The telegraph informs us that the Democrats have elected eighteen of the thirty one members from New York, leaving the Administration thirteen. Pennsylvania has chosen fifteen Ad ministration members and nine Democrats. In New Jersey, four Democrats aud one Republi can have been returned. Cannon, Unionist, is reported to be electej in Delaware, but that vote is too uncertain to be counted as an accession to Administration strenght. In Ohio, fourteen Democrat and five Unionists have been elected. In Indiana the Delegation stand seven Demo crat to four Unionists. In Illinois, nine Dem crats and five Unionists have been chosen. In Michigan, four Republicans arc certainly elee'ed, and two districts are doubtful. In Wisconsin, three IUpulicai.s and two Democrat have been ! EUGENE ' chosen, and one district is in doubt. In Iowa, six ucpulmcaus have been elected. In Missouri, two emancipationists are known to have been elected, and from tho seven other districts no re turns have been received. Kansas has elected one republican. From Minnesota no returns have been received. Oregon has elected a Union Administration reprent itivo. Now, if we give tho Democrats five members in New England, seven of the nine members in Missouri, one in Delaware, the two doubtful dtstriets in Michigan, and tho one doubtful district in Wisconsin, their total strength would bo seventy -eight votes to eighty straight Administration votes. Hut there is a probability of at least an eipial division ct the Missouri delegation, and doubtful districts are not necessarily Democratic. T icse figures make the struggle closer than we anticipated, and render it evident that tho filteen votes of Ken tucky and Maryland, and the votes of such por tions of Virginia and Tennessee as may bo re organized will be of decisive importance. Hut the point that can safely be made is that in th free Statoj, as shown by the Congressional vote, tho emancipation proclamation has not been condemned, notwithstanding the absence in the field of hundreds of thousands of Union war men. Sue. Union. TlIK CALIFORNIA CoPl'Ell Interest. The Stockton Republican says : One of the most important branches of trad : in this State, is the copper bu-iness. This in terest has ii. creased rapidly within the past year, and almost every day one or more teams arrive loaded with metal from the veins of Copperopolis, Campo Soeo and Latieha Plana, and the huge piles which frequently accumulate on our levee aro truly astonishing. From the Mercantile Gazette and other sources, we find bv actual sta tistics that there has been shipped from the 1st of May to the 30th of October, 1802, about sixty- one thousand sacks i f copper ore, estimated at one hundred pounds each, which would make sir. millions one hundred thousand pounds. There is also a copper mine down the coast, below Monterey, from which one thousand and sixty sacks was shipped, tho sixth of October, to New lork. 1 lie total number ot sacks, ol one hun dred pounds each, shipped from this mine during the year is fifty-tour thousand six hundred and seventy five. Tho Crescent City copper mines also contribute largely to this class of our ex ports. Concerning them a correspondent of the Bulletin, writes : The copper interest hero continues to thrive. New claims are being located, and the work on some half a dozen claims has reached a point which satisfactorily proves their richness. There is already some taili among copper men here ! establishing a line cf schooners to carry the ore to S in Frainiseo. The steamer's charges at'i so high that much could be saved thereby, partieu triv as tnev could bo rreisrutcd up witn goods for this dace, Two schooners, from 100 to 200 tons, could doubtless be kept running in that business next summer to profit perhaps three or four. The Loudon Xetos of a lato date, speaking of breadstufi's, says : Cargoes of oorn continue coming in from America, augmenting from week to week the excess over ordinary importation ut this date. One consequence and illustration of tho fact ap pears in tho decision of purpose of the Mersey Docks aud Harbor Board, lor some tune it has been in contemplation to provido increased accommodation for the corn trade of Liverpool, and last week it was determined to erect ware houses on both sides of tho river at a cost of nearly half a million. Gladstone has been ad verting, in his speech at Mold, to the dread that a former generation had of our not being sup plied with home grown corn to the full extent of our needs. What would our fathers have said if they could have foreknown that wo should prefer, as safe and profitable, a certain degree of dependence on foreign countries for food, and that already Liverpool would nee 1 such storeroom for grain which it woul 1 suit the Americans yet more to send to us, in the crisis of their civil war, th in it suits ns to receive. The commodity is the sound and saving element at a moment of singular complication of fiscal mismanagement in America; and our share of the benefit is that we shall be spared any excess ive dearness of br,cad this winter. Covernme.nt CuiiRENcv. Upon inquiry at the Trei.nry recently, we learned that on ihi last day then reported, forty eight thousand dollars of treasury notes of the denominations of ones and twos were printed. Every rflbrt is made to press tho work, but the dllieulties are great. Each note receives five distinct impressions, and an interval f rdry i gis necessary alter each impes.-ion, lhe whole amount of Treaury notes below the denomination of five dollars, authorized by law, is thirty five millions of dollars. It is easy to calculate when this amount can be printed, with a proper atten tion to the safeguards against counterfeiting. Day before yesterday, tho Trestiry received from the printers thirty live thousand dollars in the small postage, or cnango currency, lor several days before, the amount received had ranged fro n sixteen to twenty two thousand. These small notes require only two impressions in printing them. As to the Treasuary notes, they are as yet scarcely visible in he general cicu'ation ol tho country. At the West, they cannot be properly said to circulate ut all, being bought and sold at a premium, for remittance to ti e Eist. the issue sofar made has JjToducd no inflition of the currency, or at any rate, not enough to arrest the tendencies to depression in real estate and other fixed property, resulting from a state of war. We believe that if it becomes finan- j cialy expedient for tho Oovt.'nmcnt to increase the "amount of Treasury note to 50'),0W0 W, CITY, OREGON, NOVEMBER 22, 18G2.

There is a class of men, who like tho iwia liil-.,l l.xlVil nill'tllillV IJourb There are thousands of just such poor, mean, dark and narrow minds in America. They bo hold going on about thorn u grander struggle than history has yet recorded, w hose result is to determine no less a matter than tho fate of the present and coming millions of the ntjy.' world w hether they shall be free aud equal c-i- duljDct to a slaveholding aristocracy whether or not tho American system of popular government shall give place to a slavo umpire or become the rule of the continent and tho beacon of the world. To solve this problem a million of men nro in arms. The irrepressible conflict between freedom and slavery has been forc?d by the advocates of the latter lo the issue of battle. The genius, th energy, tho valor, the wealth, Hope and religion of the nation, all heart aud soul, thrown on the side of tho right. The tenderness, faith and con stancy of woman, the strength, courage and honor or man, are enlisted in its behalf with stun a spontaneous and electrio oiitgushing as will make tins epoch forever one of tho sublunest exhibi tions of human capacity. Yet there in men living among us who can seo nothing in this ter rible upheaval of passion, marking the birth of a new a; id better era in the moral world, than the despicable attempt ol hot-brained fanatics to elevate the African to absolute equaiily and social fellowship with the white man. The intel lect, conscience, bravery, blood and treasure of tho loyal Statesaro being expended otdy to the end that tho oppressed and hated black man may sit at white firesides aud marry white women ! Th's is the constant cry of the Peace Democrats the moles of our changing politics. Thev never ro joieo when the flag of the Republic, waves in tri umph over the discomhted hosts ot pro-slavery treason. 1 heir hearts aro not thrilled nor their eyes moistened by the narrative of heroic deeds ill behalf of u:i imperilled country. They take no pleasure in repeating or republishing tho elo quent sayings of Union orators, the strong denuu ciations of rebel wrong that have fallen from the lips of its victims and fugitives. They do not labor to swell tho contributions to tho fund that is to carry healing to the wounded in freed im's light, and they sneer at cent le-heai ted women wr.o flock together to scrape lint for the torn ho roes. No inspiration kindles them, not tho faint est gleam of the fire that is blazing in millions of patriotic bosoms, warms their hearts or glows in their eyes. They seo only a wicked and foolish fanaticism where others seo devotion to eternal principles of truth and justice; and can only cry out with scowling faces, "Abolitionist ! Aboli tionist ! Abolitionist !" With them, this word, instead of the evil out of which it grew, is the "sum of all villainies." With it they b ast the noblest civilization everywhere as a failure and degradation, blot out the glory of earth's purest names and brightest deeds, and stamp as fiendish tho most generous, self sacrificing and eounigious impulses o( human nature. If you dispute with the n, they can only answer "Abolitionist ! Ab O itiouist ! Abolitionist !" This is tho epithet hurled at tho defenders of tho Union by Beau r gard, tho rebel General, who first directed the stolen guns that first brought shame upon his country at Sumter. This is the epithet that gucr rilla bands apply to defenseless citizens v liom they rob and murder. In tins name thousands have been martyred to liberty and Union. Lit all true men uud women scorn and hate tho base creatures that, secure under tho folds of their country's banner, employ it to heap contumley upon tho sentiment and tho actions of loyal Americans. We shrink not from its application, for some of tho greatest hearts and dearest names of humanity havo borno it, and in the coming pages of American history thero will cluster around it the holiest memories and most inspiring traditions. Manjxvillc Appeal. m - How the Elections were Carried. The Indianapolis Journal furnishes some f icts which show what would have been the complex ion of the volunteer voto from that State : " In tho Ninth District, w here the Retuibli cans had 3,000 majority in LStJO, they have now not more than 100. Ihreo thousand 'Aboiitnn rebels ' have gone to the war from that district, and are now in Kentucky. If 0,000 ' Democrats' have gone from there (as tho Louisville Demo crat had asserted), how is it that the total vote of tho district is nearly f.s large as ever? On the other hand, this county, which g ive but 35 ' Democratic' majority in 1S00, now gives over 2,000, and has 1,500 volunteers in tho field. Either those volunteers were all Abolitionists,' or tho last majority was the most infamous fraud ever nernetrated. Tho Eleventh District in IStjO gavo a Republican majority of 2,000. It now gives a Democratic majority of 400. Over 2,000 Uuion men have gone to the war from tho Eleventh District. Vet the vote of the district is as largo as it whs in 100! Schuyler Colfax devoted his whole energies to recruiting volunteers in his district, and was warned that by thus drawing oil" the Union men ho was en dangcring his own re-election to Congress, yet he persisted. He obtained about 220 majority ; whereas, if ho had persuaded tha Union men to remain at homo until after tho election, his ma jority would have been numbered by thouaip's." We believo an investigation wo'ild reveal the same condition of things in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. It is ridiculous to claim that men w ho believe that the Government is engaged in an " Abolition war" have volunteered to fight its battles. That class of voter have remained at hoiiiB to engage in political intrigue and ton coct their plans for a diversion in tne North in fivor of their ancient associate now in open rebellion.

We do not believe that the President will gratify the fiictiouists by such unjust action.

Tho Territorial Enterprise mentions the discovery of n tar spring, which is located between iMudand Pyramid Lakes. Ill spring emits n thick, bituminous fluid ; tho dis charge being quite hot where it bubbles out ol the earth. According to the Jinterprise, tho In dians frequent the tar spring for the purpose of pitching their baskets and willow water vessels.

Speculations are rile in many ways concerning the conduct nud movements of Government lately. The elections in the North, resulting in so many Democratic viitories, may be attributed to the union of tho two wings of Democracy, ami the fact that tho peace Democ racy havo remained nt home, to a man, except what few may have been drafted. Regarding tho movements of our armies, it may bo that no decisive action is intended until it is seen what the rebellious States will do towards tho entailer pation proclamation. It they send llieir repre sentatives to Congress, every section so represen ted will he preserved with their slavo property, If the .South still holds out after the 1st of Jaiiu ary in rebellion, then the root of it will bo root ed out by tho total abolition of shivery. This talk about foreign intervention is all a humbug. The rulers and some individuals may havo spite and speculation ..at stake, but tho English nud trench people will never interfere in the fight that liberates the slaves. They have instigated it, expended millions, and sacrificed many of their soldiers in tho causo of emancipation. The shillings and changings now progressing seem to be of no great moment : but when tho first of January arrives, we believe tho i iirht man will bo in tho right place, and that Abraham Lincoln has the back bone lo stand up and support the i rm y in crushing down tins rebellion with do terinineJ will, or sink in tho tllbrt. YreHa Jour ual. A Petition. EulTOItS Rlil'UUI.ICAN Tho following article was published in a Boston paper, many years ago. Its object was to draw attention to pre vailing inaccuracies of speech which ought to be carrected. Iho errors still exist. Soino of them aro fastened upon tho tongues even of the liberally educated, by tho example of those who first taught language to their childhood, and by all surrounding custom. A rc-publieation in your paper may not be without use. If it con tains " wretched puns," and other foolish matter, I hope they may bo excused f r tho sako of the good intended. C. A Petition to the People of the United States : About sixty thousand slaves, owned by the peo ple of tho United States, make tho follow ing supplication to their masters, not for emancipa tion, but for tho amelioration of tho condition ot certain individuals of their lace. Most sovereign, rightful and excellent masters, we arc the words of the English language your lawful and perpetual bond servants, whose names aud origin, characters and duties, are so faithfully exhibited in Noah Webster's M'eul dictionary. By far tho largest part of us have received nothing but the kindest usage from our owners, from time immemorial. Somo thous ands of us, indeed, were it possible, might die of having nothing to do but sleep shut up m the dormitory of the dictionary, or in tho composi tion of some most learned, or most silly book, which tho mass of the people never open. But of this we do not complain. Nor do we account it much of an evil that certain Yankee make us weary with tho monotonously long drawl with which they articulate u into use; nor do we cry out against tho painful clipping, cutting-tip aud shattering to piece given us by tho African race for we servo them a faithfully as wo do their white fellow mortals holding that ns it regards all tho relations of human being to us, all men ' ore born free and equal." But now wo humbly pray that you will hear what we do complain of. Wo complain th.it certain of our brethren are exceedingly abiiied and made wretched by some thousands and pel Ii.iji million of our owners. Their piteous groan have shocked our ear; their unrctrieved sulli:ring have pained our sympathising hearts for many years. We can endure no longer we must speak. i our ancient servants come, then, supplicating you to take measures for tho relief of the sulfer- ing of tho individual of our number whose name and particular suhj-rt of complaint shall now be enumerated proceeding in alphabetical order. . -.i .i . t i . ... inrimencwM accurate calculator iipiispen iLan mo i. resident ignore the views NO. 45 J sabFo to this mighty and I grievously complains tin 1 money seeking nation. that he is obliged to work for thousand without the use of A-head, and de prived of ono of his two i's.

American of October 14th, contains tho following: " A gentleman by tho .name of James M. Smith, a native of tho eastern part of this State, has just arrived in this city, direct from the inte rior f North Carolina, lie has resided in that section for tho last seven years, and had nrevi. ously lived eight years in different part of the South, lie escaped to tho Union lines id. Now. hern. Smith states that tho proclamation of President Lincoln has produced the greatest con- stennitioii among the large slaveholders in that portion of llio State. Indeed, so great is their terror that a large body of them have united in a petition to the Governor, imploring him to ute his influence with tho Confederate Government to secure tho return of thu troops belonging to that State, in order that they may bo protected from a slave insurrection, which they believo to bo iinra nent. The Governor has also been re quested to call a convention of the people to take measures to bring the State back into tho Union, that they might avail themselves of tho offers contained in the proclamation, llo says that as soon as it was known that tho proclamation had been issued, measures were taken to prevent any more of tho soldiers raised there bv conserinf ion from leaving the Slate. lie is of tho opinion that in a very short time, tho proclamation will he known to tho slaves m every nook and corner of tho Stite.

A high sens of honor, a determination never to take a mean advantage of another, an adherouro to truth, delicacy and politeness toward thoso with whom wo havo dealings, are the essential char acteristics of a gentleman.
