OREGON STATESMAN.
TUESDAY, JULY 20, -1858. V
The Mob Oovertimmt of H"w Orleans.
Our issue of last week contained an hc
connt of the successful assault of au irrespon
sible mob upon tbe government of New Or
leans, and tbe formal surrender by the con
stituted authorities of the sorernment
thereof, Into the hands of the nnreckoning
mob self-styled "Vigilance Committee."
This proceeding, borrowed from San Fran
cisco, is possessed of more consequence than
may at first strike the reader. The exam
ple is fall of contagion, and is fraught with
peril to the Institutions of other cities and
towns. In all oar large towns are lawless
men, restire ander the restraints of govern
ment, regulation, courts, punishment, and
prisons, anxious to imitate the insurrection
ary examples of Saa Francisco and New
Orleans. Lovers of law and order cannot
bat view these rebellions and usurpations
with sadness and alarm. The worst gov
ernment in the world.is that of an irresponsible
mob, answerable to no power, restricted by
no laws, and conducting its operations in se
cret. Fower in such bauds is a source of abuse
and terror to thu virtuous, and an engine of
injustice and oppression. Whatever other
evil befalls, God save us from such govern
ment. If any authority exercises rule over
us, we want to know what it is, what its
powers are, and what are our rights. We
want all these defined, restricted and guar
anteed by law, and we want the acts and
operations of that authority to be open and
public. Tbo "Reigns of Terror" which the
world has witnessed have been nnder these
kind of irresponsible governments, moving,
like the Sou Francisco "Vigilance Commit
tee" of 16, in secret, and in darkness.-
Such organized mobs are more terrible than
enlightened despotisms. And the well dis
posed citizen who, by rcasou of temporary
ills under the law and its constituted au
thority, is persuaded to aid and abet such
insurrections, will sooner or later renp a le
gitituate harvest cf oppression nnd outrage,
Tbe scenes enacted in New Orleans are-a
digrace to that city; the pusilanliuous con
duct of the constituted authorities iu but
feebly resisting-, and finally surrendering to
the mob, is disgraceful to the locul govern
nient; while inactively witnessing law and
rightful nutho-ity thus trampled upon within
its jurisdiction, and its borders, inflicts last
ing shame and disgrace rtpou the State o
Louisiana.
y We anticipate that the next theatre of
operations cf lUls mob government will be
the city of New York, and we trust it will
be met iu such a maimer there as to furnish
au antidote for it for at least half a centn
ry. Aud we believe it will be. We think
constituted authority in that city, backed
by the giant power of the State, cannot be
successfully resisted and defied as in San
Francisco and New Orleans. We hope the
first display ifcere will be received with Na
poleon's remedy, . ball cartridge, and re
bellion summarily punished, though human
blood may ruu rivers, and' human bodies
pile barricades in the streets. If Liberty,
regulated by law, is to long exist under this
government, these eshibitions of tnobism
have gone quite far enough, aud all succeed
ing like insurrections should be summarily
dealt with by tbe military arm. If New
York, as we anticipate, is made tbe next
theatre of operations, let the severe meas
ures, with augmented power and severity,
which so speedily quelled the "Astor place
riot" be promptly resorted to. Let the
lives of New York's first '-'Vigilance Com
mittee" mob be the forfeit of their crime, and
it will be a long day before organized re
bellion again exhibits itself there.
The Atlantic press has taken the alarm,
and almost unanimously condemns this New
Orleans outbreak. Among' them are press
es that winked at, or directly countenanced
the excesses of the San Francisco stran
gles. The New York Herald, which approved
of tbe proceedings of the second San Fran
cisco Vigilance Committee, now 6ay3: "The
hour when our people begin to appeal from
the ballot-box to the barricade as the
French do will not be far distant from the
end of Liberty in the United States." And
the Times, of the same city, which in P856
occupied the same grcund, pronounces the
New Orleans movement "utterly unjustifia
ble and deplorable," and adds: "The tolera
tion of such a system as that before which
the city of New Orleans L's jut nnccumbed
throws us back in the condition of Mexico,
where coveiument is pnrtly a matter of
force, and where one administration tamls
only until another party becomes btroiig
enough to overthrow it. The practice began
in San Francisco. It has reached New Or
leans, and may ere long be tried in New
York."
Ocr Admission. The next mail will
bring us intelligence of the adjournment of
Congress, and the fate of the Scnato bill
providing for the admissionNof Oregon into
the Union. . Of course speculation is idle,
but wo are of the opinion that the bill did
not pass the House, and was not considered
there. Its passage in the Senate will sur
vive the adjournment, or recess, and the
House will probably concur at the next
session. We think thc passage of the bill
in tbe Senate was unexpected to Uen. Lane,
and that be did not anticipate it. The
Washiugtou correspondcut of the Sacra
mento Union says:
Much to the surpriso of every one, the
Oregon bill was yesterday passed by the
Senate. It was brought up by Mr. Douglas,
tbe blockade of the appropriation bill hav-.
tag been removed. ' ' ,
t& It is reported that rich gold discov
eries have been made on the Yakima and its
tributaries, leas than one hnndred and fifty
miles from the Dalles. Gen. Palmer, late
Superiateudant of Indian Affairs is said to

Tk BrltlsU Insults. ,
England has long witnessed, with envy
and jca!ouy, the growing strength r. Im
portance of American commerce, and she
has felt .conscious that her proud title as
"mistress of. the seas" was soon to be suc
cessfully disputed by the mighty Republic
which sprang from bcr cruelty and oppress
ion. While the British Navy is the most
powerful of that of any nation, her states
man are not blind to the fact that in prra
Utring, she, with her navy, is, or is soon to
be, no match for the United Slates upon the
waters, and that sho is, or is soon to be, no
longer "mistress of the Reas." That gov
ernment has witnessed all this with no kind
ly spirit, and American statesman have
for some years predicted that a bloody con
test with England, at no distant day, was
to settle our supremacy upon the wave.
Apprehending this, the British Government
has endeavored to discountenance privateer
ing, and to procure its condemnation by tbe
cations of -the earth, and its abandonment
by the United States. But, the latter
would grant no such concession, and have
sturdily adhered to this important right,
and powerful element of war.
It is not impossible that these conside
rations have something to do with the re
cent outrages upon the American flag by
British cruisers in our southern seas. The
cases of detention und search of our mer
chant vessels have been too frequent to war
rant the belief that it means nothing, and is
unknown to the. Government.
The pretext is the suppression of the
slave trade, while the purpose is the crip
pling of American commerce, and the rights
of tbe American- nation. In this connec
tion, the New York News says: Great Brit
ain having failed in her schemes of negro phi
lanthropy, and now reviving tbe slave trade
in the most-odious forms, for her own inter
est, assumes to justify her impudence and
insult toward the American flag under
the lying pretext of suppressing the trade.
That is the plain and simple fact cf the case
on the one hand. On the other hand, the
Tact is equally plain and simple that the
United States will not snbniit to any as
sumption or any snch sophistry. We stand
npon the fundamental dectine of the free
dom of the seas. And however universal
may be the appreciation of our magnanimity
in forgetting the insolence of Spain, and
other European States, Paraguay and other
South American States, tbe people of the
Union seek no more glory in that direction
and are now quite ready to sing the war
chorus to tbe end of British aggression. In
any event and under-all circumstances, we
claim the right of free commercial inter
course with all nations without the philau
thropic auxiliaries of British, search' or
"visitation." In vindication cf this claim
we have a little force already making its war
in toward the West Indies; and for tbe
same purjoe we will speedily have a little
more force movinsr and acting in tbe same
quarter.
The rights of 30,000,000 of free white
men is a somewhat greater matter upon
which to exercise an enlightened philau
thropy than the hypocritical comtnisleration
of the fortaucs of - a handful of greasy and
shiftless negroes.
We aim at the best iutcrests of all races;
and as tbe great step toward that consum
mation, we demand tbe recognition of na
tional sovereignty for ourselves nnd freedom
of the seas for all. Therefore, with a lively
appreciation of the possible consequences,
we sing "the war chorus."
The Intrgrttjr of Dtmxralle Organizations
The following article from the Washing
ton Union is so full of rebuke to the fla
grant attempt made lately in Oregon to di-
Tide and defeat the Democratic party, and
coincides so completely with tbo view we
have heretofore expressed iu regard to that
attempt, that we cannot rcfraiu from giving
it a place in the Statesman:
The Chicago Times of the 22J inst , makes a
direct call upon this paper for information con
cerning the views of the administration in refer
ence to the duty of democrats to support the nom
inees of the party and to uphold its regular or
ganizations. The Times, preliminary to its in
quiries, expresses a cordial concurrence in what
the Union said a few days ago upon this subject.
Now, we desire to say to our coteuiporaty, that
while we do not feel authorized or care to speak
for the members of the administration, we have
net the least hesitancy in the world in utter
ing our own views upon this matter. Upon gen
eral principles, and having in mind an earnest
wish t secure the triumph ( the democracy, and
an abiding faith in the justice of the noble cause,,
we would counsel our friends faithfully to abide
the decision of democratic conventions, and earn
estly and truly seek the election of their nomi
nees. To this rule we never knew of au excep
tion which in our judgment was sufficient to jus
tify a rcfnsal tojobey the laws of party. " Again,
at this time especially, do we insist tbat demo
crats shall unite against the common enemy ; and
we will add that if heretofore it could bo said
it was wrong to wrangle and quarrel, it is crim
inal to do so now.

The Frnzier river excitement seems to be
on the increase in California; nt least, the
rush overlntid is increasing. The parsing
through here of trains of mules of from Cfty
to one hnndred, nnd upwards, is of almost
daily occurrence on Thursday near two
hundred were here. The travel goes mostly
via the Dalles, now, we believe.
The cpid emic does not rage fiercely in
Oregon, yet, but it is evidently increasing.-
Our people seem to be more incredulous
than are Californians, and a large disconnt
is made of the extravagant stories afloat.
A small party which went from this town
to Bcllinghani Bay, returned last week, be
ing unable to get beyond Whatcom. Tbcy
report that there are fifteen thousand people
at Bellinghain Bay, waiting to get np Fra
zter's river, the waters of which are now too
high for either navigation or mining. They
think the Sonnd route impracticable and
recommend the Dalles. They saw men at
the Bay, who come down from the mines,
but could get no definite or satisfactory in.
formation respecting them. Clams are in
great demand at the Bay, and many of the
diggers are engaged iu prospecting for them.
The Frazier river excitement has caused
a sudden rise in Hour in tins valley, it is
worth in this market 920 per bbl., and at
Portland, $30. This' is on Thursday. It
would not be surprising if it was twice these
figures before our publication day, and not
more than half of them in two weeks. At
San Francisco, at last dates, it was worth
only SI I and Slz. The best cold mine a
farmer can find is in his grain field.
We have read much of the "reliable cor
respondence" contained in the California pa
pers, and in those of Washington Territo
ry, upon the subject of these mine?, and we
have availed ourselves of every opportunity
to obtain information from other sources;
nnd we confess we are unable to see any suf
ficient basis for this great excitement; we
are forced to marvel thereat, and inquire,
in the language of one of the patriarchs,
Shakspear, or "some other good man, "What
is this cursed multitude about?" We have
yet seen nothing to warrant the belief that
mines of great richness and extent exist in
New Caledonia. Tbat there is some gold
npon Frazrer's river and its tributaries, we
have no doubt ; but, so far as we can learn, it
is confined to the bars, and beds. That some
gold has been taken out, there is no doubt;
we know that gold exists in all the country
surrounding us on the east and north. That
a few men have roads as high as fifty do!
lars per day, some days. Is a fact pretty
well authenticated. And that some have
made nothing, is quite as strongly so. There
were some small bars at Colville which paid
well, and men there made, for several days,
Gfty and seventy-five dollars per day. There
are men in this county who did this; but
the great bnlk of those who went there

said to be, "a second California, and even

Mien Neeoed Mail Service. Steps are
being taken to proenre a recommendation
from the Postal Agent for a mail ronte from
Oregon City via the Molalla, Abiqns, Sil
verton, Snblimity, Scio, Forks of the San
tiaui country generally, &c. The Postal
Agent has promised his hearty co-operation.
This route will embrace a thickly settled
country, extending np the valley about
seventy-five miles, which has heretofore been
wholly without mail service, except by going
twenty miles and upwards. to post oSici
Efforts l-ave heretofore been made to ol
the establishment of this route, bnt failed,
as we believe, for want of a Postal Agent
competent to so represent the matter to the
department tbat they could understand it.
The route is sadly needed, and wo hope the
present attempt to secure it will result suc
cessfully. .

RntiToi from Or EGO sr. We have been ranch
gratified by hearing that Gen. John Adair, of Or
gon, will quite likely be one of the Senators from
our young sirr State, Oregon. The rlecsimi
comes off early in July, and already publicaftcn-
tion has turned towards Lim as a most suitable
candidate. He is a strong naitontl Union-lemo-crat,
a true patriot, a resident of Oregon for some
ten years, ana aciuzen in wuose Keeping m
pie might safely place their interests, with a con
scions certainty that the honor of their State was
in safe hands, and that of the office most 'Visely
and worthily bestowed. San Francisco Glooc.
The "public attention" never extended
beyond the honsehold. The Genera! evi
dently is not fully appreciated in Oregon,
or at least not as fully as by the enterpris-
individnal who has been engaged in pro-
curing the publication of "pnffs" of bim in
the San Francisco papers, lie did not get
a vote here, aud wc presume h id an Ore
gon ian been asked who were "suitable can
didates" for Senators, one thousand names
would hare been mentioned before Adairs'
was thought of. This Senatorial candidacy
is simply ridiculous.
The Globe correspondent unwittingly bit
the truth when he styled Gen. Adair a
"strong national union democrat." The
self dubbed,- "national democrats" of Ore
gon were of tbe "union" kind; that is, they
united with the black republicans against
the democracy. Gen. A's. "strong deraoc-
was not quite strong enough to impel
him to support the democratic organization
and the democratic ticket at the election
last month. And the democracy of Oregon
are of ths opiuion that he has one too many
offices now. We have yet to hear of the
second democrat, who, upon being made ac
quainted with bis conduct in tbe last can
vass, has not said remote him. He says he
can't be removed that Kentucky influence
will keep him in. If tins was so, it would
be au interesting fact, that Kentucky should
impose officers npou Oregon against bcr
will! This we suppose is one rendering of
"popular sovereignty." Gen. Adair will in
due time discover that Oregon has Sena
tors and a representative in Congress, and
that Kentucky influences will neither be
able, or attempt to impose unpalatable offi
cials upon her.

An unpleasant affair has recentlr occurred
here, winch causes no little excitement in
diplomatic and fashionable circles. An at
tache of the Spanish Embassy has long been
the admirer of the only daughter of a retired
banker of Washington, or, nt least of the
"bennz yfar de sa cassette." The father, for.
reasons easily conjectured by all pmden
parents, forbade the StianLsh Cavalier hi
house. The Cavalier retired to his lodirinc-e.
and wrote the banker a challenge, but could
find no person to deliver it to him.
On Tuesday night last, the banker was
dining with Mr. Slidell, who occupies the
next house to his own on Lafayette Square.
While partaking of Mr. Slideli's hospitality,
I. is servant came in and informed lam that
two persons were hanging about his hoasc
in a suspicious manner. The banker, who:n
we will call Mr. C., requested las friend
Senator Bright, who was of the party, to
accompany him, and proceeded with that
gentleman to his own residence. As he en
tered tbe hall, he met his daughter, and
proceeding to the picture gallery, which was
lighted only by the hall lamp which shone
throngb the doorway, he found a man snug
ly ensconced under the piano forte. Seizing
him by the collar, he dragged him from his
biding place, and discovered him to be no
less a personage than the Spanish attache.'
He discovered that the aforesaid Spaniard
was armed by a six barrelled revolver, which
ho took from him and then kicked him in
continent into tbe street. As he opened tbe
door for this purpose, he discovered another
person of the same "tribe" lurking about tbe
entrance.
At the present time the diplomatic corps
are represented as sympathizing with the
attache. If this be true, it only proves their
esprit do corps to be greater than their sense
of decorum. What other fate does any man
deserve who skulks into your liouse.under
cover of the night, with arms iu his hands,
and when about to be discovered secretes
himself like a burglar or an inceudiar

The Late Election-. We have not yet
received fnl! returns from all the counties in
the Territory, but sufficient is known to as
sure ns of a complete Democratic triumph.
The conglomerate fusion of all tbe various
factions, together with the assistance of
some disaffection in onr own rank, has been
nnab'e to shake the confidence of tbe people
in the efficiency of Democratic measures and
policy to minister to the best interests of
the eiuntry.
It is also encouraging to know that no
sectsonai prejufisces or personal issues nave
contributed to this victory that, in fact, all
these have been cast in the scale of the op
position, and the contest has beea one of
principle alone nsrainst individual aggrand
izement and selfish interests, and the tri
umph, one of an united organization over
blind an 1 aimless faction?.
The Democratic party in Oresron, comes
out from this trial stronger and firmer than
ever before. A more loostly constructed
platform, a;id a more indefinite assertion of
its fundamental principles might have swell
ed its numerical strength; but we have tha
satisfaction of knowing that we now number
none bnt the tried and true.
Traitor-:, too, have been tscgh a lesson
that cannot fail to bo beneficial to the fature
interests and welfare of the party. Foiled'
in their selfish endeavors at disorganization,
their example will be a warning o those
who may, in time to come, be tempted to
sacrifice their professed principles to the
futile ambition of a temporary success-.
To those who have "gone down" in the
good canse, we need tender nothing bnt on?
congratulations. It is nobler to be defeated
in defence of the rijrht than to be a victor
in the wrong, and Time, the great "Vindica

Oregox axd Washington War Debts".
The Washington correspondent of theXew
York Herald writing April 14tb, says:
It will be attempted to get before the
House at an early day, a Bill appropriating
some five million of dollars in payment of
the Washington and Oregon war debt.
This qnestion wiil give rise to much de
bate and I learn that the delegates from the
Territories of Oregon and Washington am
prepared to state authentically all the facts
going to make np the history of the Indian
outrages in that region tbe burnings and
horrible botcherings of defenceless settlers
by Indians, who even now set tbe Govern-
ent at defiance, and the necessity wliieh
ted for an organized defenee on the
part of the Territories, the arm of the Gov
eminent being too far distant for the instant
protection demanded.
A resolution was passed for tbe appoint
ment of a commission to investigate and re
port on the claim atising rut of the war
the principle being conceded, it would seem
that payment ought to be made; and this
commission, consisting of. army officers and
one citizen, sat at Vancouver for a year,
and then made a full and detailed report to
the government. Since then J. Ross
Browne, special agent of the Treasury, has
visited the Territories, and scrutinized tha
accounts and the awards of the commission-
It is upon bis report, I believe, that
the measure is grounded.
We shall have over agaia comment oo
the spicy correspondence, between General
Wool aud the Territorial officers and others.
There will be strong opposition to tbe meas
ure, but it will carry, I think, nevertheless.
The claims are held as much, almost, by
merchants and others ujtou the Atlantic
seaboard, as uponTtbe Pacific slope.

The teachers in onr schools must correct the,

would keep posted on the geography of the Un
