WHO SHOULD GOXTKOL TI1K NATION.
It W during the darkest hoar of th? Rev
nlutionarp war, that Gen. Washington, in mak
ing hii order for the protection Bad lafoty of
hi noble little army of patriots, directed the
oflloer of the watch to "Put none hot Amerl
eaiw on guard to-night." It ie not now the
darkest hour of the last great trial of our Fed
eral Union, tint it is sufficiently Impqrtant to
retiolre the order, that none but Union men
should be p'luocd on guard duty, ubootthe por
tal or in tlie ball of oor government. It wa
bnt a little time ago, especially about the time
General Lee was advancing upon Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, that we heard prominent and
leading Democrats declare that "the Union has
gone up," "the Southern Confederacy is now
an accomplished fact," and sa on until their re
joiced and satisfied iou Is were entirely and ful
ly relieved of the exuberance of good feeling
with which tuch thflught oppressed them.
Others, more reckless, might havo been heard
declaring that, "now we have uo country, " and
nil the members of that party, without distinc
tion came to the conclusion that the Union waa
of no particular value, miles it was perpetu
ated by some kind of a Democratic compro
mise with slavery. . Many of these ardent
Democrat! were like Heriah Brown, their1 ad
viser t "They didn't want to be citizens of this
country," and would rather go to Mexico and
livo among the "greasers" ahjeot subjects of a
uiushrooo prinoe from the old world. Many
such in Oregon contemplated an early move to
' Mexico, and a final shaking off of dust against
the land of their birth. Money wae freely con
tributed, a tax of a dollar per bead levied upon
the members of a certain secret Demncrutlo
society, to sent an agent down to Mexion and
"e py ont the goodly land," and one A. J. Uabb,
a leading Democrat of Lane county actually
went down to Mexico, as la generally believed
the duly aocredifed agent of the sturdy Oregon
Democracy to the court of his royal highness,
Duke Gwin, the spurious Prinoe of Sonnra.
We hope our (Democratic) "Southern breth
ren" will not iieny these matter at the next
election. We will just put them on record now
for convenient reference. Snub, facta don't
show a very ardent love for this country t not
very trustworthy patriotism. It would seem
Impossible to find any one born, reared and ed-
nested under the protection of the stars and
stripes, who could ever oonteinplute the idea of
quitting their native land forever. Sir Walter

within the Republic, now, when all their efforts
to divide and destroy have been defeated, enmc
forward aud attempt to dictate the poller to be
pursued in governing the "Republic without a
slave." Certainly, consistency, modesty, and
consideration of propriety would suggest that
such person should take a "hack seat" for a
short time ; should cuter upon a "state of pro
bation" for a proper period, and surreudur the
oontrol of the aliuirs of the oouutry to those
who have struggled to save it, who have fought
its battles and maintained its institution and
protected it honor. That "Union men should
control the Union" wo believe to he for the
present the fixed determination of the Ameri
can people, aud while wo would abridge no
man's privileges, nor trench upon the right of
any, we hope to see the propriety and consist-
enoy uf thi course recognized all over tho
Union.
Tho country is not yet saved ut least the
peace of every section and the liberties of all
its people are not yet secured biyoud perud
venture. The enemies n(tliu government have
only uhnnged front. What they failed to se
cure by open warfare they will now attempt to
secure by political strategy. Failing to per
petuate slavery and nristooraoy by the sword,
they will now attempt to secure the slave and
maintain the old aristocretio class-rnle, by en
trenching themselves behind their doctrine of
States' rights. The Southern politician are
already hastening their States, so a to get a
recognition in the Union at the earliest duy
possible, and thus get rid of tho surreillnnoe of
President Johnson. They havo not accepted
the overthrow of the military power as the end
of thu contest. And with these Southorn lead
ers, th Northern Democracy Is in the most
heurly sympathy. And while they are thus
united to rostore the old order of things, if pos
sible, orory instinct of patriotism demand that
the friend of the onuutry stand firmly united
together. An exchange forcibly remarks, "to
dismember the Union party now i to invite
the return of chant and hold nut temptations
for another revolution which will secure to th
Southern traitors and Northern Copperheads,
by political frauds, all that they sought and
failed to gain by armed rebellion. It would give
them the majority inCongress.disarin the Pros
dent entirely, confer the elective franoliiso up
on every rebel officer, open to the lender th
door of ollioo. give them the next President,
sole oontrol of all the Southern States, and end
at last in fastening upon the loyal State their
prorata of the Confederal debt.whiuh amounts
to three thousand million."
And who is the enemy that snoceed at the
next election, if the Union party I defeated in
the State and nation I The tamo paper con
tinue s ' The same precisely that wo have
been fighting for four years. He ha not in
the slightest degree mndcrated hi principles.
He still insists upon it that the war was wrong
from begimiiug to end, and that the South was
right ; be is a mooh a secessionist to-day as
on the days that he exulted over the surrender
of Sumter And the defeat of Bull Ruu. Give
him his way, and he would strike from tins pon-
ion litt every wounded Union soldier, and de
stroy every monument erected to our patriotio
dead. He would, lu tho name of tho resolu
tions of 'Od '99, repudiate tho national debt,
aud pay the debt of the rubels. Ho would Ig
nore the war bonds in every loyal Stale, tram
ple the emancipation proclamation under foot,
and tax the whole country to pensiou and build
monuments to every Confederate thief of dis
tinctinn."
Then we say, let Union men stand shoulder
to shoulder, and firmly maintaining tba right,
deteriuiue that Union men, and that Union
men alone, shall oontinue to oontrol the affairs
of the nut ion.
OllKUON CENTUM, MlMTAUY ltllAls. From
recent loiters from tho exploring and surveying
parties on this roud we learn that tho country
oonlaiua a far greater amount of valuable land
than the most sanguiue friends of the road bad
anticipated. Many exceedingly fertile and beau
tiful vallrrs, together with linn enso tracts nf
the finest graxiug land, bus beeu found nu the
line of the road. This proves a two-fold ad
vantage to the Company : first, iu the intriusio
valuo of the land (three sections to the mile ol
road), which will become tho property of tho
Company ; and, seooud, In the largo ponula
lion which will be attracted by these valuable
lands to (ettlo along the road, thus orealing
permanent aud Increasing ooiumerue that will
always use the Company' mad. on thi great
central highway to the mines of Idaho. These
facts give a permanent value to the stock of
this Company and make it a desirable invest'
inent.

"Tba liue separating the (lava and free

"Then," said the professor, "yon expect to

"Uf course." was the reply, "and thi very

"Sir." said Jederton Davit iu hi teuteiitioos
manner, "the North will never light us on that

A M liSSTATKM ENT COKUIil TKII.
A recent issue of a copperhead sheet contain
ed the following extraordinary and inexplica
ble attack upou one of the most oprigbt judges
that can be found iu nny State of the Union :
In st least nno ilistrlrt of the Hutu, we helluva fully
iine-tliird of Hie elti.i'iis thereof nlirink from entering
lti'iiirt. lirrtily liclievinir that tlie imttiral iiilirinities
of the presiding JudKe his intnlernure ol diltehllg
opinion, extreme prcjuilke und iuipluimlily resentment,
render ll aiineuii.irniit iinp'iiiic,nirniin inuojiwuec
to un enemv especially in times of high party excite
ment, like the present. And this Indxe roughly rides
over the tinie-hon. red precedents, ami tramples np'jii
the remedy the law Intended to provide lr such a
slate of things, hy pulilicly proclaiming tlmt he will
grant no elm uge of venae, on the sworn alliduvit of a
purty mat tie believes lie eannot uuvc justice, unless ne
the Judge feels that lie U no prejudiced that he can
nut render Justice.
Judgo Bnisu it the man at which the above
thrust i made ; and the matter it noticeable
ouly on account of the manner iu which the at
tack it tnn de, and Its author. At a matter of
fact the chnrget in tho article are entirely with
out any foundation whatever. So fur far from
th truth it the statement that "this judge"
hat prtoUimed a rule that he will "not grant
a change of venue, unless." dec, that no rule
of any kind hut been proclaimed, ond in at
least one case that we know nf, a change of
venue ba been tendered the defendants upon
making the formal adidavit required by the
statute. Instead of any one shrinking from
the court of Judge Boise, we are well satisfied
that he enjoy mora generally and fully the
confidence of citizens of all parties, than any
other judge which hat ever honored the bench
in Oregifti, tince tlie organizations of the State
oourtsj not that Judge Boise it pre-ominenLrJi're "
above hit associates of tlie Supreme Court, bjy
that he is more widely and generally knownVt upon and enclosed all outside of siioavJ
The gentleman who penned this Intiduout at
tack upou Judge Boise, limy not be so familiar
with "time-honored precedents," at to make
him a competent Judge nf what ought to be
done in ull cases. If a criminal arrested for
murder, can, upon his own motion, tweur tlie
right nf trial away I ruin the people in whose
midst he committed his crime.we then hold our
lives and property, not according to law, but at
the will and pleasure nf the desperadoes of the
country. What caret the man, arrested for
murder nr rubbery, for bit oath ? He will
twear to anything to get bit case removed may
he to a oounty whero the sheriff is hit friend,
or that delay and removal for trial may afford
means nf escape, and for many other reasons
entirely inconsistent with the certain nnd
speedy atlmitiistralion of jhstice. Benle and
Baker made their affidavits that Judge Boise
wut prejudiced ngainst them, nnd they could
not get a fair trial ; when the truth was, the
judge was totally unacquainted with eilber of
the men, aud could not identify the men nt flrtt
light and nt the end nf their trial they
both admitted that they bad received a fair
trial. But if the advise of these gentlemen of
the Arena bad been followed in that case, it
would have been t int to Polk county and tried
before some nther Judge, and witli no other re-
suit than adding three or four thousand dollars
additional tnxes lu tho bill for thit oounty. In
the matter of a change nf venue In criminal
trials, Judge Boise hut follows tho practice es
tablished iu this district by Judgo Williams,
which is founded on the "time-honored prece
dents" prevailing in nil civilized countries for
the past five hundred years.
We can tee no other purpose of thit article
in the Arena than tn create if possible a little
prejudioe against the gentleman at whom it
wnt nlmed, and to that end it was
worded with much more circumspection
and moduraiion than is generally observable in
that paper. But it will entirely fail in its pur
pose. Judge Boiso it loo well known j and
this poisoned arrow will full harmless at bis
feet. He enjoys an enviable reputation for in
tegrity and ability ; and before we would tee
one such fearless and impartial Judge stricken
from the Supreme Bench, we would gladly lose a
dozen Governor! aud Senators. Willi nn in
corruptible steadfast judiciary our right aud
liberties nro always tafe.
THE CUOLKKA PLAbTK
From the Intelelegraphio and other news, we
learn that the cholera hat again made Its nppenr

that a great plague had appeared at St. Peters

AN OHEOON FAKMElt 8 PAPRIt.
I see you propose to issue an agricultural pa
per in Salem shortly, to be called the Oregon
Agricultural, aow, mat is uie very muci
have been thinking annul lor some time post,
oping that some nno wouiu taae uie nuusi m
am . We all recollect mat on ogriouuurai
journal was started at Portland some years ago,
and that it labored through several yeartol ex
istence, and that it died. Thit wae not on ao
count nf uny lack of talent, energy, or steal.
But there teemed a strange tort of apathy on
the part of the very nnes who ought to have
given the paper vitality and strength, hy tub
scribing liberally, and paying, at well at writ
ing, for it. Too many persons, when ouce a
paper it under headway, look upon it as a sort
of thing having Inherent vitality; and, if they
subscribe for it ut all, think that act It very
meritorious, and hence they often neglect to
pay for months and yeart. and sometimes never
pay at all ! Now, printers, editors, and pub
lisher are just line otner men tney eut, unoa,
iniirrv. and wear clothet. if they are to lucky
as to get all these good tilings especially
wives. Their capital, tune, anu nisn a greai
deul of anxiety nro in requisition in tbtir en
terprise, una tliey uo not wish in inn iu uusi-
ness.
As to political, relieiont, scientific, or nther
publications ol the day, 1 am not now writing
mean to come right out, anu say urine tann
ers, gardeners, and stock raitcrs of Uregon
that it it a sname to them that nn agricultural
work ia uublithcd in this Statu. It it not the
funlt of editors and publishers, for tome uf
them would be perfectly willing And ready to
go iuto such an enterprise, it they coma ne as
sured that the paper would be well sustained.
The internal ullairs ot Uregon are winery uu-
ferent frnm what they were somo years ago.
Now. namcrout and rich tuinei are aisoovcreu
all ahne onr mountains: roads are being con
tructed through the hoart of onr country, the
tide of emigration is setlmg hard to our statu,
took hears a hue nrice. and there is nn assur
ance that agricultural product will henceforth
command very fair prices in Uregon. The
cheapness nf our rich arable and timber lands,
our climate and locality, nro nttrncting the ot
tcntion ol people alar oil. and very soon ur.
egon will number thousands of people, where
he now counts only Hundreds. I lie wool ousi-
nest it assuming a fixed condition, nno mo
beep-raisers have waked up to the importance
nf this staple ot Uregon. Mow, tliero is noen
of a farmers' paper here, that will advocate all
these growing interests, that will open Its col
umns tn the producers ol Uregon, nnd tau
deep and abiding interest in the wellare ot
all its mends, nnd, incidentally, til nurwnoie
oouutry and her best interests. And are there
not men enough alreudy here, who would at
once subscribe and pap down a sufficient su
for a well aud ably gotten up agricultural pa
per amongst us? We know Unit funning, gar
dening, and fruit-raising must all be learned,
nnew here. Then, a " medium" is required,
through which the "experience" nf farmers
may be made known tn all others ut to the best
modes of culture. Oltentimes one single arti
cle from the pen of a nurd fisted farmer, tho
he might not write as fluently as a jciicrsnn
might be worth to Mr. A, Mr. B, or me, twice
the amount of our yearly subscription to such
paper.
it it not worth while for mo lo " scribble"
much more ou thit subject, but I will just say
In the Farmers, Stock raisers, and Urchardislt
of Uregon, come right np tn the work, and
sustain tlie Uregon Agriculturist sustain it
with material aid, and with your comiiinnica
lions, right along. And to its publishers,
would say, go ahead .'for I have had good
chances tn know the sentiments ot many larm
ers and others iu the Willuinette valley this
year, in relation lo such a paper, and am satis
tied you will be tupported.
