LINCOLN'S OPINION OK THK McCLEliLlS
1'AKTl.
Several strong Union Journals 011 this coast
have raised objections to that part of tho i 'res
ident's Message referring to the election, in
which lis expresses the belief that a large ma
jority of the party that snpported McClellau
have a real desire to see the national cause
triumph. Those journals seem to think if be
referred to that nuriv in nny way, he should
speak of them in a body as notional enemies.
We do nut wish lo appear ns thu champion ol
a doouuieitt which contains convincing arg -meals
to support all its positions, but we think
a second thought will convince any one that
the ('resident is right.
We believe the party supporting Lincoln
nml Johnson was "the Union party," mid that
thu parly opposing them, ns it party, was ill
recti) the opposite. Yet wedoiiol mean by llii
tbat every member of lint party is a disunion
ist. When we sneak of the United Stales or
Gre:.t llritaiu as Christian notions, we iln not
by any mentis iutcnu to convey the idea thai
every Englishman and American is necessarily
a Christian. There was a time when France
was referred to us "itilidel Friiicc" Yet it is
liy 110 means true that every eiti.cn of Unit
vast nation bad renounced lliu Christian re
ligion. Every enlightened man can now see that the
main olilect of tho llreckmridgi! movement. I'V
which tbo democratic parly was divided and
aen-mca 111 louu, was 10 "nre tlie SniilhiTit
heart and precipitu e the cnflon Hlates into re
bullion." Yet it would be. absurd to charge
that every mnn who voted for the Kentucky
traitor had such a design ns this. Many of
tbotr men, since the struggle commenced, have
proven their devotion to their country, biith in
the rank of thu army nnd as its leaders,
We believe the plotting, wire-working
schemers who managed things tit Chicago were
in warm sympathy with the conspirators of the
South, and that their great aim was lo bring
about such a disorganization nt the Ninth ns
would have resulted in tbo overthrow of the
government. McClellau was not one of those
runnagers. Ho was simply nsed ns it stool
pigeon by which t lie enemies of our country
Imped to lure a eullicietit number of honest
men into llieir support to make their disorgan
izing schemes successful. The game proved a
failure it is true, yet it succeeded iu securing
lite support of numbers), w ho, if Wood or Vul
anilighain bad been thu nominees, would have
sacrificed nny interest rather than support that
parly.
Wo nre among the number of those who be
lieve a vast majority of the people of tlie Uni
ted States, taking both North and South in one
body, are in favor of suppressing this rebellion
of maintaining peace and order where lln-y
now exist, and of re establishing the constitu
tional national authority over every foot of our
domain. As we have often said, we do not be
lieve this to be u seclionnl war. It is a war
which a small factiou iu tbo South lias succeed
ed in ingnuiating by deceiving an unenlighten
ed majority, and which would be openly sup
ported by a small faction nf sympathizers in
the North if nn tnlifihtened majority did nut
hold them in check. They dare not support
the rebel lenders openly ; by doing en invert iy
they secure the co operalii.11 of mnny whu
would otherwise spurn association with lliem
n with Hie Vilest of traitors
The Inllnwiug is the portion 1 f the lin s.-ogi-
alliided lo, and lielieve it coiiiinns a truth
that sho:,lil give ns cniili.'ciicc In the iiliiiiuile
triumph of our cause :
"Nut only lliu e who supported the Uui"ii
ticket, so culled, but a gri-ul uinjoiilr of lie'

At the instance of Mr. (iillctlo, llie member
from Clatsop, the last Legislative Assembly
amended thu piiut law of tho Columbia river
0 us to authorize any citizen of the L'nii'il
States, or a cntporalioti loriued under the laws
of this State, lo build a steam pilot and tug
boat, with sufficient capacity and strength to
tow any vessel over tlie Colombia river bar
that cun cross it. Tlie boat is to be built,
111 Hilled anil 1 quipped to Hie satisfaction ol the
Pilot Commissi rs. and thereupon such com
missioners me required to revoke all licenses
to pilots beietolore issued, and thereafter liol
lo license any pilot other than ihose belonging
to such lug boat su long as the same is kept
and maintained upon the bar tnthe satisfaction
ami approval nf the eoinmissioiiers. this en

competition between the pilots . f this lug boat
and any others. Soother ilol can lie licensed

At present sail vessels are alii list lse!i-ss as
a means of transporting much of 'be freight
that is curried to and fro between here ami S.in

smooth bar ami a fuvniahl . iml mid tide, the
chances nf delay at the bur are so great, es
pecially between I he months nf October and
May, that all shipments requiring dispatch are
made 1111 the steam rs. Hill let there lie a
proper steam lug on the bar. manned with com
petent pilots to tow said vessels over the bur
iuiinediulely upon llieir arrival outside or in,
the bulk of thu goods now coming up on the
steamer, would be shlt ued by sail vessels at
line half III" cost, and infinitely mure iiccoin
mudatinu and satislactiuii to sliipp rs. Tin
prest lit line of steamers, tmucd in Caldoi uia
have thu trade iu their mvu bunds. Tin
amount nf capital necessary to put a sleaiuer
on the trade Is so much that it prevents com
petition. It costs ns much tu freight gouds
from Sun Francisco to l'nrlluud as it dues from
New York to the former p ace tin the Horn.
Itesides, these steamers run ulgnut expense,
mid being engaged iu the carriage ol passen
gers also, whilu in port discharging or receiv

subservient In the one em1 uf hum iug nit'.
Hut the great disadvantage arises 111 shipping

ishable, from Oregon to San Francisco and
neighboring ports. Once, sail vessels could
rely 011 tin mil caigo of lumber, which ol course
Would keep as long us the ship, but sometimes
too long lur the imirl et. Hut the demand for

will increase, unless Ihe steamers reduce their
