DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.
LANSING STOUT, Atito.
cikit. bAinr mial vice.
As a eormpvadeai lut week skU M General
Lane has passed off as a simple old nan, with
oot guile." We are are told that he talks much
about kis candor, patriot tan, vnsdfiskBess and
honesty, upon the stamp that "I am holier
than thou" constitutes an important part of his
harangue. Old Spanish proverbs ay, " Up
tightaess -seeds no setf-eudwrscjaent" "Hon
est mem apeak by their ileeds, vet words," Sec.
Gem. Laae is oew mom the stotnp, vilely as-
mSSag, sVnooneiaf and coning men whose
deeds late eetaMshed an honest reputation for
them. Do his acts, tince his return here, sus
tain for him the character he himself egotisti
cally advertises J
It is pretty certain that he (Lane) has pro
nounced Mr. Smith's condact at Washington,
- last winter, as "outrageous and disgraceful; that
he has gone from the Senate chamber, and, re
ferring to Mr. Smith's condition and conduct in
the Senate, declared tkat " it was terrible ; that
ao.man knew a hat trouble they had ; that it
-was habitual," ore
It is pretty certain that some of the stories.
and tome extending beyond charge of public
inebriation, hare been, at some time, repeated
hf Gen. Lane ; it is pretty certain that General
Lane has declared that Smith's re-election
would be misfortune and a disgrace to Ore
gon, and a disgrace to himself, as his colleague;
tven. Lane cannot be unaware that members
of the California delegation have said that his
ve-eteetxm would be a disgrace to the Pacific
oast, and would impair the influence of the
Pacific delegation; it is pretty certain that
Gen. Lane, too, said that Mr. Smith ought not
to be re-elected, for reasons involving the fair
fame of the State ; it is pretty certain that
these things have been written to this State,
from Washington and San Francisco, by friends
and counselors of Gen. Lane ; it is pretty cer
tain that Gen. Lane did not' expect or desire
that Smith should be elected, and that he
avoided the seat of government purposely.
And, it is pretty certain, that ..when finally
brought here, he was driven to interfere in be
half of Smith's nomination, and that he nomi
nated him.
In that, we were not disappointed ; as much
as we knew he mnst dread the responsibility of
supporting smun s re-election, we were sure ne
was bound to take "V. if he was got to the seat
of government. Other men, who were aware
of what Lane knew, and what he had said,
were confident that he would not interfere in
Smith's behalf; they said he would dread his
election ; indeed, they were deluded with the
. - e - - , . ...
idea that Lane's appearance here would con
tribute to Smith's defeat. We told them they
did not know Jo. Lane ; that when he came
here he was going to be threatened tcith Linn
county, and that, whatever he had witnessed,
and whatever he had said, he would go for
Smith, to secure Linn county to himself next
year. That , he would not permit even the
honor of the State to stand in the wav of his
success.. The result proved to those men that
we were right ; and we do not believe there
was a man in the Assembly who did not believe
that Lane's presence and Interference nomina
ted Delazon Smith. , .
We do not believe Lane desired Smith's
election ; he simply desired to secure to himself
Smith's supporters in Linn county ; those were
rnpposed to be secured by the nomination.
And immediately after the nomination. Lane's
own son-in-lav left the capital ; a resolution to
hold a meeting for the election of Senator teas
Jost in the House ly a tie vote 15 and 15 ; the
mte of Lane's son-in-law von Id hare carried it.
We repeat, it is unmistakable, that Lane was
more than willing that Smith should be defeat
ed, provided the refponibil:tv did not attach to
him. and in that wty o?e him the support of
Smith's adherents in Linn count-.
Lane was appealed to by members of the j
legislature, to eav whether or not the adverse i
reports respecting- M r. Smith were true or fake;
we tiiink he was by ruetulw rs that if tliey
were true, they would not, and dare not, take
the responsibity of voting for him. Lane would
not deny them.
The following note was addressed to Gen.
Lane by Mr. Wayniire, of the Senate ;
Sales. June It, 1859.

Of this letter, and Gen. Lane's response, Mr.
Wayrnire says :
Several gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly

General would have consented to answer it- It

alone on it. When I presented it to Gen. hone, he

Gen. Lane or anr other gentleman declared publicly
that the rnmors derogatory to Bmith'a character were
false, and that he had conducted himself as a gentle
man and a Senator while in Washington, he would

Several members of the Legislative Assembly in
formed me that they had conversed with him (Gen.
Lane) on the same subject, with a like answer.

of the affairs as tber occurred then they will sustain

will publish all the facts that came to my knowledge,

it was not known thai the day of this election
had been changed from the first Monday in
June to the 4th, and, consequently, polls were
opened. At Umatilla. Wasco county. Stout
received 39 votes Logan, 5 ; ( one of the mil
itary road parties from Fort Dalles voted there.)
At Des Chutes, same county, Stout received 21
votes, Logan 5. From Coos and Curry conn-
tics, are bnt rnmors that the former gave
Logan 75 majority, and the latter gave him a

V The Portland Times give a lengthy re
port of Smith's and Lane's speeches at Portland.
We extract the following in regard to Lane's:
This honest and faithful publiu servant closed
his remarks by the utterance of a few feeling
remarks, which seemed to gush forth from the
Surest fountain of his soul, in relation to the
estroctivc and malevolent course pursued by
his enemies. He showed Bush to be a vile and
unscrupulous man, who was well calculated, in
the future, to cither destroy the democracy or
prevent its unity ana narmony in Oregon.
lie "showed" this, according to the opiniou
of a broken-down and brain-softened California
editor. .
Ho "showed" it by his assertion, alone.
He "showed", it in the same way that he
ushowed"Orcgon had 93,420 inhabitants, when
the frequently taken census, and frequently
polled vote, do not indicate more than 45,000;
and when the people of Oregon do not believe
that there are in Oregon to exceed 43,000 in
habitants. He "showed" it in the same way ho "showed,"
it) a speech in the House last winter, that there
were "1,000 inhabitants in the count v scat of
Douglas county" in the spring of 1837, when
there were not over 100.
Ha "showed" it iu the same way he 'showed,"
in the same speech, that on the first Monday of
last Jane "there were mors than six thousand
voters away from Oregon in the Frazer river
country hunting after gold," when there were
not 200 Oregon voters there. - -.
ne "showed" it in the same way he "showed.
in the same speech, that "two or three thousand
more were in the Klamath Lake countrv, hunt
ing for gold," when there was not a man there.
He "showed" it in the same wy he, in 1855,
"showed" that the Oregon enablir;; act which
nt that time parsed the House, was amended in
the Senate by making the Cascades the bound
ary ; when the journals of the Senate "showed"
that the bill was not amended iu the Senate at
all, but that it went from the House with the
Cascade boundary. A citizen of Yamhill writes
ns that the aliove was '-showed" in 1855, bv
Lane, at Lafayette, inyreponse to complaints of
the eastern boundary of the bill ; that the blame
was laid by Lane upon Douglas, the Senate
chairman of committee on Territories, and that
he afterwards found the Senate journal and
found that the bill was not amended in that
body. .
. He "showed" it in the samo wav he shows
many things. . We are ready to compare our
public record with Lane's, on the score of "vile-
ness" or nnscrupulousness," and we defy his
malign'tr to stain it with a single fact. He la?
passed off ni Oregon for a simple minded old
man, not very smart, but ti ithout guile ; while
he has nraetMetl more art. low iiiinm- am
doable-dealing than all the rest of the politi
cians in Oregon.

forth," dec, Were the affectation of chronic tlem-
asoeism a specie of Political stare effect.
whieh he is practised in. "
We mar be "calculated to prevent the union
and harmony": of tuC democratic party, in its
abject prostration and prostitution to" Lane's
supreme seibshness and overweening ambition.
We think we are. . But no man but Joseph
Lane has "destroyed the democracr of Ore
gon," and be desired its destruction it' he could
not reduce it to slavish submission. Was Xes
inith removed to preserve the "unity and har
mony" of the party T Is it for that purpose
that the most faithful section of that party is
proscribed by him ! Is it to that end that "the
vilest opponent of the party is received into the
Lane embrace, if he onlv prays to, and swears
by. Lane ? Was it for that purpose thnt he or
ganised his personal party, kuown as the "Lane
society," or the "Lane association,'" proscribing
every man w ho would not join it r Was it for
the "unity and harmony" of the partv that a
thousand such thines were done ? and is it for
said "unity and harmony" that a thousand such
tnmgs are Jietng done I
Out upon such shifting of the responsibilitv
of Lane's own acts, and the acts of his satel
lites! t2 We are informed that Smith, in some of
his speeches, says "all the counties south of the
Calapooia mountains with the exception of
Umpqna, which he can put in his breeclrcs
pocket, are sure for liimself and Lane for Sen
ators next year ;" and that "all in the Willam
ette except Marion, Polk and Washington are
likew iee sure." Poor, deluded man ! he has
not an earthly chance to see the U. S. Senate
again, and Lane does not expect one-half of the
members of the next Legislature who support
him, (and they won't constitute a third oi the
Assembly) to go for Smith. Lane expects to
earn- Multnomah, but he knows there is no
earthly chance for its going for Smith : and the
mme is true of many other counties Lane re
lies upon for himself thev will not think of
Smith ! Lane k notes that Dtlaznn Smith has
no more chance of ever again getting to the
U. S. Senate from Oregon than he has of being
translated to heaven ! And. yet, he lets Smitli
deceive himself, thai he may use him.
Very Rich. At Scio, w e are told that Lane
was very abusive 6f Gen. Drew, and among
other things said he (Dr. Drew) had no ed
ucation ! For Lane to accuse a man of want
of education is a little too rich a thing to pass.
The crowd we heard it told to, by one who
heard the speech, instantly parted tcith their
vest buttons.
There is only one parallel to this, that we
ever beard of : In early times, when Jo. Meek
was sent across the plains as "minister" to
Washington, judge Thornton w as also a can
didate for the place ; it is said the matter was
mentioned to Jo. (Meek, not Lane) and he said
" old Thornton wouldn't do ; he was too 'liter
ate!" (illiterate.)
The Speaker (Delazon Smith) became very
eloquent, and aureservdN in hiscondcinatioqs of
Mr. unsn. roruana a imes.
He (Smith) then took up and dwelt upon the
character and habits of the Statesman and its
editor, whom he represented as almost anything
but honorable. Portland Advertiser. "-
The subject of "habits" and " character" do
not exactly constitute the text from w hich it
becomes Mr. Smith to preach just at this time!
We think that the editor of Statesman never
had either the ' habit" or the " character" of
selling out his friends and supporters, and turn
ing " witness for the crown," against them, and
a very incorrect one, at that.
Don't Was the War Scrip Paid. Lane
and Smith are sneering at G rover's speech in
defense of the war debt ; if they had done any
thing for it, they might criticise Graver's effort
with a better grace. It is manifest that Lane
does not want the war debt vaitf, until after the
Charleston convenlion.'foT fear it may injure his
chances for the nomination. And, that is one
reason why he was opposed to O rover ; if Grocer
had gone to Washington, he would have been
working for the payment of the war debt.
CtTJudge Strattou lias been holding court at
Corvallia the past week. Moses Millncr was
found guilty of an attempt to thoot John Greg'
cry last fall, fined liJ, (he bas "nary red" to

He (Delaxon Smitli) admitted the existence
. of a Salem clique, that he had been formerly in
its counsels, hud participated in its sagacious
plans, had defended Mr. Bush and other mem
bers, often against the convictions of his con
science, and did many other favors which ren
dered them greatly his debtor. Portland Ad-
vertiser.
- Elsewhere, Mr. Smith is reported as saying
lie " packed Bush, fonnd him a heavy load,"
&c.
On the score of ' packing" we don't think the
democratic party .is debtor to Deluzon Smith.
Nor do we think Bush or the Statesman owes
him anything iu that behalf ; the common cx-
! prcssion is that the Statesman has " packed" a
very heavy load iu tho person of himself, for
there have been few persons of prominence iu
Oregon, of whom the people have had as much
distrust as of Mr. Smith. lie has been carried
by "main strength." The Statesman has
packed" him for several years, though not
" against the convictions of our conscience,"
. for w hatever opinion we might have entertained
of Mr. Smith's judgment, we did have confi
dence that he would adhere to his friends. And,
we have bo doubt, now, that if any judicious
friend had been with him at Washington, he
would still have been with his friends; but Jo
seph, artful and designing, found him an easy
prey."
Whatever support we have given Mr. Smith
in times past, has been given because wc bad
fnith iu him; at the same time, it is undeniable.
that there has ever existed In the country a
wide spread distrust towards him. While w c
claim no "gratitude," w e think our support has
not been less serviceable to hLnself thau has
his been to ns, to say the least.
But, this song of " ingratitude" is invariably
sun? bv men who have been " booidcd" into
plaee. wheu any man, for good reasons, with
draws' his support. They instantly begin to
prate about w hat " they have done" lor linn,
" made him," &c, nnd" " how unsrratoful he
i." It never occurs to them that anything has
been done for them. ,
Lane, we are told, talks about the "iugratt
tude of Bush, sorrv he has done so much tor
bim," nnd so-on. Now, if Gen. Lane has ever
" done" verr much for the Statesman, we should
like to be informed of it. And if be has ever
" done" anvtliiiii for the democratic party,
whieh has Sept him in place, we have never
heard e.f it. We are . certain that neither
ltush or the Statesman is indebted to Lane on
the score of service rendered. And, if the
Statesman, during a long series of years, bas
not ' done" a vast deal for Lane that he di J
not deserve, thousands of Oregon democrats are
mistaken.
tT At the urgent request of meniWrs of the
legislature we publish the subjoined statement,
an endeavor to read which, was made in the Sen
ate, bv Mr. Bristow, of Lane. In doing so l
omit (where the stare ( ) are seen) a por
tion of it, improper for newspaper columns.
,Tliis publication is without Mr. Grover's con
sent, as. for private reasons, he is unwilling to
bear testimonv asainst Mr. Smith. Although
in violation' of Mr. G rover's confidence, the
statement has heretofore been made, to no in
considerable extent, public; members of the
legislative assembly, many of them, read it, and
have based upon the allegations there made,
generally corroliornted from other sources, im
portant and unusual action ; thev claim further
publication in justification of their conduct,
which is reprehended by Mr. Smith nnd others.
The publication was thus made to members of
the legislature w ithout any agency of ours. But,
betas' thus made, and being followed with the
extraordinary legislative proceeding it wns, we
think wc violate no confidence, and do injustice
to no party by giving it place here, w ith the
cuitailmeut mentioned :

have listened to Smith and Lane, state that

That it did not ii jnre the admission qncstion

ruizE Fight. Tho citizens of Scio, Linn
county; were treated to a variety of interesting
and edifying exhibitions on Monday of last
week. First, they had a grand palaver from
Messrs. Lane and Smith, in w hich the "irne
principles of the govt nuiieur." Senatorial units,"
"my friend the President," &C, &c, were t in-
cidated, greatly to the satisfaction of the speak
ers; and all who had the temeiity to say ought
against Joseph nnd Delazon w ere jnst as satis
factorily demolished. That performance over.
the arena was givtu up to a couple of contest
ants of lesser note, named Jesse TLomas nnd
Bi n. Xeal. who proposed to fight a "rough and
tumble" for three Cnvuse horses n fii!e, nud the
ehair.nionshin." The preliminaries being ar
ranged, a ring was formed, and the combatants
'turned loose.'t -TJiev went tit it in gallant
style, exchanged few ineffective blows, then
clinched, and canie to the ground together.
Alter a terrific display of scteiitilse scratching,
gouging, choking, biting hnd kicking, whieh
hit-ted uliotit teirittriMite. Thomas was declared
the victor, amid tfce plaudits of his friends.
Another tight, between relatives of the com
batants, grew out of this, iu which one of the
Neals received a severe wound in the lett
breast, from a bowie-knife, in the hands of one
of the Thomases. The blow was thought to
have been aimed for his heart, but was stopped
bv a ril.
"Consistency." In the last Union wc see
an article headed by the above word. If any
body contemplates going into the brass found
ing business we recommend them to negotiate
for the Union editor's fire for a sign ! - The
man who said hf "had been a whig, but expected
to be a democrat" when he asked judge Will
iams to appoint him clerk of his court in Ben
ton countv, in 1853, but who never was a dem
ocrat, except of the Avery kind ; who boxes the
political compass semi-annually, who voted for
free State, twice rau upon the opposition ticket
nnd was elected by abolition .votes, aud then
affected to beji slave State man, who last July
nominated anJVoteCTbr David Logan against
Delazon Smith, now opposes David Logan aud
votes for Delazon SnurhVwho four mouths ago
characterised Lane as a miserable demagogue,
humbug, ignoramus, ice, and now supports
Lane, iu short, a man who has no fixed rule of
action, and a record as varied as the chame
lion's hues, should never write "consistency."
And if lie had not the effrontery of tho d 1, he
never would. .
FnoM the South. We learn from the Yre
ka Chronide, that Lalakcs, the old chief of the
Klamath tribe of Indians, bad brought to thnt
city the heads of three Indians of the bid Kogue
Kivcr tribe, who, ho said, hnd confessed to the
murder of the white men near tho lakes sonic
weeks ago. As a proof of Jioir guilt, he pro
duced two guns, said to" have lolongcd to the
murdered men. Lalakes had interested him
self in the discovery of the murderers going
to the mountains with some trustr followers in
pursuit of thein iu order to relieve his own
tribe of suspicion of being concerned in the
murders. Lalakes is well known in Yreka, nnd
enjoys the confidence nod esteem of the best
citizens of that place. V He carried the heads
to Jacksonville.,' nnd procured the release' of
some of his trifcef who hnd been detained nntil
it could be ascertained who were the . guilty
parties. ' ' f ; - . ,
t!7 A southvrn correspoudent informs us that
Mosheris going down into Coo8 and Curry coun
ties on an electioneering tour. His election
eering will make two votes for Logan to one for
Stout. If Gen.-Lane desires Stout's election,
why in the name of common sense don't he
stay at home himself, and keepMosher at home?
Lane's and Smith's speeches arc hurting him ;
and now he is saddled with Mosher's weight, in
a section w here he w ill bo loaat able to carry U. I
Another Lake is the Field. The Law
renccburgh Indiana Hoosier State comes to us
with the fcdlowing flying at its mast-head: "For
President in 1860, Henry S. Lane, the favorite
of Indiana." This may be designed as a "take
off " on tho candidacy of the other Lane, but it
looks as though the Hoosier State man was in
dend earnest. Indiana is proline of Lane can
didates for the Presidency. If "Joseph" ex
pects to distance his Indiana brother "Henry,"
he had better get that old "red waistcoat" that
Diek Johnson used to show around when he was
a similar candidate for Presidential nomination.
He would have to put sleeves to it, to get in the
bullet hole. Old Dick's used to be in the body
of tho "garment."
Gen. Lane's Presidential delusion affords a
good deal of quiet fun in Oregon joking circles.
Even Jo Meek thinks the joke rather broad,
nnd savs "when Lane gets to lie President, be
shall Gc minister to the court of St. JeemsT'
Aud judging from the strictures of .Missouri and
New Orleans papers, his candidacy is looked
upon on the Atlantic side the same way it is on
this. The idea, if ever broached, is laughed at,
by the intelligent. A former Oregonian w ho
was in Washington last w inter, wrote to a friend
here that it w as melancholy to see the old man
imposed upon the wav he was; that he devoted
his attention to nursing his Presidential pros
pects, nnd was fettling a set of suckers w no in
return flattered him with the idea that he was
going to be nominated.
Is Which Instance rir He teli. the
Truth ? Last yenr Delazon Smith, in stump
ing Oregon, used to aver that there was no
"Salem clique." This w as a common express
ion of his. whieh many of his audiences of that
year will recollect: "I have been familiar with
the men about Salem ; if there has been any
clique there, I have been a member of it, and I
aflirni of my own knowledge that there never
was a more complete falsehood uttered than this
storv of a 'Salem clique.'" Manv of vou who
heard Mr. Smith last year, will recollect this
This year, Delazon Smith says there has been
and is a "Salem clique." and he has been a mem
ber of it. If he tells the truth this renr ho rliil
not last; if he told the truth last tear he does
not this. Last year he had no occasion to deny
the existence of a "clique," if there was one.
Since that time, Mr. Smith has betrayed his
friends about Salem, and the men who elected
him ; nud hence he discovers there is a "Salem
cuuuo," nnd he turns "State's evidence." and
from the reports we get, of his speeches, his
fucts are rrry inaccurate.
Fmnifr own know ledare tre affirm there is
no "alem cliqne." And we doubt not that
Mr. Smith, since he succeeded Hihhcn in the
puffatory letter line, (enabling Gen. Lane to
discharge that servant) has seen more "cliqu
ing" than ever before in Oregon ; and that dur
ing the lute session of the Assemblr he witnessed
more corruption than he ever saw in Oregon up
to the time he entered Gen. Laue's service ;
and w hen he turns State's evidence on Lane, as
lie will some day, we predict he will so declare.
A Few or the Incidents. A good many
racy incidents are related of Lane's palavering,
Arc. At this plaee it is said he received an in
troduction to a citizen of Yamhill. " Why how
do you do, my old friend ; God bless you, it
does me good to shake you by the hand ; (ten
derly) how is your old father getting along ?"
"J hare no father! he died long ago, be
fore I came to this country."
In 1 $57, it seems that when at Lafayette,
asking for votes for Delegate, Lane promised
to " get them the war debt during that term, or
give them his ears." When he was through
there this time, as they had not got the war
debt, they said " ears.'
At Chanipocg was a sprinkling of Irish,
French, nnd Germans in the audience. In his
usual pofning of himself for his services iu
Mexico, Lane f aried his self laudation with the
following: "Among the bravest in Mexico
were the gallant Irith ; next came the veteran
French, and then the sturdy Germans" A
venerable old Frenchman responded, "Ha!
ha ! plenty of soft soap and gas, old man."
The Seat of Government Bill. At the
late session of the Legislature, a bill passed the
House, providing for the location of the seat of
government at the election in 1SG0. It did not
reach the Senate in time to go through that
body, under the rules, which required that bills
should be read three times, on three several
dors. Mr. Uristow. of Lane countv. moved a
suspension of the rules, that the bill might be
passed ; the vote on 51 r. Bristow's motion stood
as follow s :
Yeas Bristow, Brown, Colly, Florence,
Grim, Mcl teeny, Wnyniire nnd Wells 8.
Nays Cornelius and Mr. President 2.
It required ten to snspend the rules; conse
quently the bill failed.
All the members from Marion county, iu both
branches, voted for the bill. It was "geucrnlly
thotight to be unconstitutional, and it was sur
mised thnt Gov. Whiteaker (from w lint his mes
sage contained upon the general subject) would
have Vetoed the lull, on the ground of such ob
jections, if it had passed.
Raided the Pbice. When the editor of
the Jacksonville Sentinel, Lane Sjeafcer of the
House, left Salem for the South, he showed here
Lane's draft upon Winchester for $500. It
was currently reported that last wiuter the price
was only $50. The "small dealers" will prob
ably complain of Joseph for raising the tariff.
We publish this for the benfit of the rest of the
Lane organs that they may take care and not
go at a lower figure than the Traveler. If that
gets $500, Slater nnd the balanee ought not
to take less.
Hrsinuo. It is reported that Gen. Lane de
clares on the stump that he will not be a candi
date for re-election to the Senate after the expi
ration of his present term ; bnt thnt he will re
tire to his "farm"' in Douglas Comity. That is
the old humbug. Each time he has asked for
a re-nomination for Delegate, he has wanted "to
go just once more." Lane has no intention of
retiring to his "farm," if he can help it ; and if he
is not a candidate for re-election to the Senate,
iu 1860, it will be because he has no hopes of
Buccess.
VW' Wm. M. King and Edward Hamilton,
announce themselves as independent candi
dates for Jndge of Multnomah county. The
former runs on "non-intervention," nnd the lat
ter on non-polities, styling himself an "old
line whig, a nntionnl whig." If Gen. Hamil
ton has the requisite physique, ho would make
a good officer. .
The democrats were to nominate a man on
Saturday.
That is an important judgeship, and it is im
portant that a man of character, and one well
qualified, should lie chosen. - -
Coarse, Vulgar and Profaxe. Those
who hear Lane, express disappointment at the
worn) want of ability manifested in his speeches,
and at.' the character of them. Besides dis
gusting egotism his speeches are composed of
low "personal auuse, vulgar witticisms, ami
shocking profanity, for profanity t,a public
speech is shocking. It is the common testimony
that Lane has given the people a new idea of
himself and damaged his fictitious reputation
wherever he has "lifted up his voice." . . .

THE QIKSTIO OF VERACITY.
Joseph Lane Sir: A paragraph in the
Oregon Statesman of the 14th inst., stated that
you denied, nt Chnmpoeg, having made " un
warrantable use of the name." and cast reflec
tions upon the character of L.F.G rover, and that
you charged falsehood, with a very naughty
prefix, upon me, for having so reported to Mr.
G rover. Now, sir, I suppose, according to your
refined sense of honor, 1 should merely be un
der obligations to cast back the lie, with an ad
ditional prefix; but I choose to meet you on the
issue iu my own way, and have appealed to
the people who hcanVyou, for the truth of what
I stated. It is true, 1 am but "an humble in
dividual," but conceive that I have as much at
stake as yourself. I have a character for truth
and veracity to maintain you, official position
to secure.
I did not. and do not wish to become entan
gled in a personal or political difficulty with any
tine. My personal regard for Mr. Grover,
prompted" me to notify him of the manner in
which Smitli and vourself were stabbing bim,
whilst professing the utmost friendship. I did
so, and would do so again, regardless of the
consequences. My present purjiose is to fasten
the lie, if lie there is, where it belongs, and
having done so, rest the case with the conntry.
A. S. WATT.
We, the undersigned citizens of Yamhill
county, Oregon, heard Jos. Lane and Delazon
Smith's speeches in Lafayette, on the 6th inst.,
and have since seen in the Oregon Statesman
of the 14th inst., a paragraph stating that they
denied, at Champoog, having made "unwar
rantable use of the name," and of having re
flected upon the character of L. F. Grover. and
thnt Lane charged falseliotid npon our fellow
citizen, A. S. att, for having so reported-
Wc, therefore, as a simple act of justice, state
that among other things. Smith did charge Gro
ver with duplicity aud double-dealing, in hav
iug agreed w ith him, that iu no event would he
stiller his name to be used against him (Smith)
for the U. S. Seuate, and that afterwards he
ran against him nnd prevented his election
That he was a man of no firmness; that "he
laeked backbone," and was used bv a few de-
sijrninjr men.
Lane said, that in San Francisco when they
heard of Stout's nomination. Grover said that
he would take the stump and endeavor to secure
his (Stout's) election ; but that when he arrived
in Salem he came nuder the control of the
clique, and dared not do it. He further said.
iu reference to some reports made against the
moral character "of Mr. Smith whilst in
Washington, that Grover made those state
ments in confidence to several gentlemen, and
that when thev became public he (Grover) of
fered to make a written statement denying
what he had said. e nave not seen the let
ter from Watt to Grover, to which reference is
made, but make these statements to substan
tiate the general charge of reflection upon Mr.
Grover.

Since the above certificate was signed, I ob

Champoeg, and below pnML-h it. It will be
seen that tne averments contained in it are sub-
stautiallv covered bv the certificate :
Home, June 7th, 1359.
L. F. Groves Dear Sir: Your name was
frechr used, yesterdar, by Smith and Lane, and
in a manner calculated to place you in a most
unenviable position. Your friends in this coun
ty, and myself in particular, do not wish these
innuendoes, assertions and charges, to remain
uncontradicted if untrue, whieh we believe.
Some of the charges are these r That you
pledged your word and honor to Smith that yon
would not lie a candidate for the Senate. That
you pledged yourself to Lane to take the stump
for Stout, and now refuse him your support.
That yon are a woman, and cannot, and dare
not face them or anybody else. These are such
as might be passed by, the last with contempt.
But they charge further, th:ft von uttered a
base slander on the character of Smith, which
was published by Barnhart. Smith says you
never uttered ii, and offered him a written state
ment to that effect. Lane says you did so
speak, but that it was in confidence. "That
you afterwards denied having so spoken, and
offered to so state in waiting; bnt on second
thought concluded -not to deny what you had
said." . These are his words.

in Congress on I
as to whether I delivered it as priirted or liot lliat l
mil iu b;i v one urn iu , w-h.
. The speech was not delivered ia full in the House
and solely for the reason that I was cot allowed the
time. Hut under the rules of the florae, aud by order
of the Committee of the Whole, I had leave, titer gta
tinir my points, to elaborate my arguments.
After t!e publication of the'Third Auditor's report
apaiust our War Claims, in the latter part of Ja-marr,
Governor Sieveug had been fctlinif to get the door m
Committee of the Whole to peak on that question
(where alone any one can cpenR to a subject not pend
ing at the time), and up to the time of the admission of
Oregon, he had not succeeded. By a vote of the House
night sessions were devoted to the delivery of speeches
in Committee of the Whoie cn matters not .eiidinir.
The time had passed for act ion on our War Claims when
I was admitted to my seat, and only three evenings re
mained for the delivery of speeches in committee.
There I attended until twelve o'clock in the liifiht,
seeking the floor to fpealc aainrt the Third Auditor,
and for Iregoii. Governor Elevens as there too, and
on the last night at 10 o'clock he pot the floor ha vino;

TLe seech was not intended to affect the outgoing

sent it everywhere that the Auditors letter had onr
and left til hundred copies with my publisher to be dit
tributed to the next Congress. I regret to ray that the
general expression relative to my remarks was that of
surprise that so much could be tlitid in defense of our
War Claims.

Coos Bat, June 6, 1859.
Ed. Statesman: Mr. William Whycke,
for sometime a resident of t;is bay, accidentally
shot himself through the right hand, on Fridai
last. The ball and rain-rkl passing entire!"
through his hand, making a frightful wound.
appears he had just cleaned his gun, and cx
ploded a cap npon it, and while in the act o
re-loading, he placed his foot on the hammer t
raise it for the purpose of admitting air, h
foot slipped, and the cap exploding a sccot
time, sent the whole charge through his bar
which was immediately over the muzzle of tl
gun. The. wound is severe, bnt it is hoped b
will recover without the loss of his hand. H
is doing well.
On Saturday, May 2Sth, as a party of emi
grants, jnst arrived from the States, were pas

It is supposed that he was asleep when he fel
over. A young man, son of Dr. Heimann
plunged into the water and tried to save tin
lad his efforts were fruitless. The boy eanglr

It was w ith great difficulty young Hermann ex
