THE STATE KEPIBLICAX. Taa Strajjb of to-diy is not altogether for to-day, it is for th.3 vast future also." EU35SE CITY, JANUARY 21 1863. Till: DUFICKE.NCE. There are two classes of secessionists in our lnidst. One class, while they sy mpathize with the rebels, are men of sense, mid wliilo they have io regard for tho wolfare of their country, lliey have n profound respect fur tlnvr own individual prosperity . They know that Oregon, situated thousands of miles from thu rebel State", ami separated from them by territory that must con tinue to belong to the United States, even if some of the cotton States should succeed in gaining their independence, cannot possibly hope to gain anything by interfering in behalf of the traitor who inhabit tho alligator swamps cast of .tho Mississippi river. They know that Oregon could never join tho "Confederate States," even if their independence was ac knowledged, unless it could be removed to their borders or without California and the Territories w hich separate it from fho rebel Slates, should first bo raptured. They havo not tho remotest idea that cither of those feats will ever bo accomplished ; hence they seo no cause fur secession in Oregon, even were it pnssiblo to bring aboi.t such a state of things. While they would gladly see tho ' Con federacy" succeed in drugging tho cotton States out of the Union, hoping to bo ublo to emigrate to Dixie at some future time and there enjoy the luxury of smelling u negro, they know that the Northwestern Star in tho galaxy of States can never bo removed to tho Constellation of the Scorpion in the Southern hemisphere of JclTerson Davis. Consequently they have not4the slightest idea of entering into a rebellion against the Government to accomplish what could not bene fit a living creature not even their "Southern brethren" and which would result in ruin to themselves and great destruction to the entire commit nity. There is another class of secessionist, com posed of tho ignorant, degraded rabble and uneducated scum of society, who aro actuated solely by their groveling passions of envy and hatred, and have not sense enough to comprehend what would bo tho result of an attempt nt re bellion on this coast. Many of them can neither read nor write, and very few of them have a correct idea of tho nature of tho contest now being waged between tho Government and the rebels, or of the results which will legitimately follow that contest. They have possibly read or heard from some secession "hand organ," sent to thorn ny a runaway hish pauper or some other reckless adventurer, who lias no interest in the country and nothing to loso in any event, that Abe Lincoln is a "usurper" und a "tyrant;'" that ho has "destroyed tho Constitution," and is now trying to "divide tho Union," "subjugate the South," and set all the niggers free to get to "make slaves of white men ;" and that Jeff Davis is fighting for the "rights of the South," and to preserve tho "Union as it was." If they could only get a siiflieiont gang together, all get jolly drunk, so they would not bo afraid, and then "begin the w ar," in they pompously term their contemplated drunken riot, and succeed in killing ir all who are not as degraded and idiotic as themselves, they imagine that the "South" would be greatly'bent filed, and that they would have plenty of negro wenches and free whisky through all time. These men arc so ignorant that they could bo induced to ntt' nipt almost anything, and knowing their prejudices against the, loyal portion of community, (hi ir leaders, instead of trying to remove it as tjiey should do, tell them all manner of falsehoods, merely to sell them a few extra copies ol their papers. They know, of course, that they are gulling these ignorant, degraded animals most shamefully, but probably do not apprehend that any evil will arise from such a gang of ignoramuses. Itut even admit ting that there is no danger of inciting this rabble to d eds of murder and tiolciice, then it looks very shabby,' indeed, to Lo const .mlly exciting their unreasonable prejudices against their country and their 'neighbors. Those who havo tho honor'of leading these "brave and chiv alrous people," if they feel any interest in the peace and prosperity of thit country, should find some other hobby with w hich to engage the attention of their dupes, and leave Dixie to take enre of itself. To lead such a hand is about as creditable as to command a gang t II it head In dians, to make the best of it, and to bo trying to lure them into trouble, is not only disgraceful but most contemptibly mean. Drunk Aoain. S i time ago we stated that tho Mountaineer and Stataman were play ing a tpimo of mutual admiration. In reply to this the old toper comes out witJi a leader in tin Daily Mountaineer of tho ltflh, in which he ays : We have neither the time nor the inclination to relate the slanders t ti.it are tienped upon us by such fellows as Pcugra and Applcgnte. Just now this precious pair of scoundrels are endeavoring t injur us hy coupling our name with .Mr. Ilusli, and charging tliat there is a eon cert of action between the editors of tho Mum tainetr and Statesman. For the information of this "lawyial" pair, we will state tint tho editors if tho papers n mod have not been on speaking terms for over Ihreo year. Because Bush got his fingers in the Treasury instead of yourself, you throw 'J olTon him, like you did on O'Mearn, last Spring, did you ! and wouldn't peak to him for "three years !" eh 1 Then you are really in the habit of cutting up such ugly capers. Such balkey nags arc always poor sule, as soon as their tricks are exposed, and as putting too much water in your "licker" is probably tho cause if your fatal 'Laekslidings" you had better quit mixing them, William. But what on earth will Bush think of your modesty? V hat are we coming to, w hen a secession radical siiiiTs up his nose when ho is classed with ono of his conservative brethren, feels "slandered" and thinks wo "are injuring him by coupling his name with Mr. Bush." Bush did pretend to be a Union man w hen you were in the secession Con vention at Coivallis, in tho harness with Iit Malone. Because you got floored, you deserted your friends und went over to Bush, and I ow when he volunteers to reeompany you back to where you both belong, you feel groutly Blun dered by having your "inline coupled with his." "For the information of this old tory, we will state" that we have not heard from Mr. Apple gate for several jnouths ; and of Mr. Pengra, we can only say that we suppose lie is tending to his own business, but we know nothing about his political opinions, only as we see them set forth and expounded in tho Mountaineer, Tub Papkb Ckisis We see by our exchan ges that tho terrible paper crisis is playing havoc among newspaper publishers. Some nie redu cing tho size, of their papers, whilst others aro increasing their price, and yet others, ami many there are w ho tiro suspending, some for a time, and others altogether. This is an unfavorable timo for keeping a newspaper going, and it re quires all tile help of the readers of any journal to sustain it. Wo were fortunate enough last fall to get on hand a supply' of p iper which will last us until about May, and iu thu meantime we hope all who are in arrears will "pungle up," for when our supply is exhausted, it will take cash to replenish it, a: d as we will be most likely to have to pay a big price for stock, we shall be compelled to adhere strictly to our published rates of subscription i. e., for three months in advance, i 1 ; for six months, $1 50 ; for one year, 2 50 ; 3 if paid at the end of six months, and if not paid until tho end of the year, $4 will bo charged, therefore all who have had the IIki'L'DMCAN from its start, and who havo not paid f r if, will be charged l ; and there is but ono way to stop a paper, and that is to send for your bill, pay it all up, and then say stop. We lull I discontinue no man s paper, except at our own option, until nil a itch rages are paid. The IIki'I'iilican is now a fixed fact, and no one need to hesitate to subscribe from the fear that it will not go, because our arrangements are such us to insure its publication for a term of years, and we hope, by a straightforward course to merit the approval of l he jteojrfe, a fcV slanderous to nes to the contrary notwithstanding.
