And last, but not least, the Democratic party, as such, can nmer, never escape the infamy whicli attaches to the assassination of Preal dent Lincoln, Tho true of Liberty has in all ages of the world, been watered by the blood of tho purest aud noblest nf mankind ) but in no inttatioe ho the aceyined genius of the "sum of all villnnies," ever invoked to the over whelming of wrong, thu blood of a purer, no bier, greater friend of his country or humanity. than that of Abraham Lincoln.

It will never hold another National Convention, under tiia nretentorraniialion; and Mr. Muton.to fur from dissolving the party himself, merely officially announces the fact. The disorganization coin menced when Buchanan, yielding to the dicta tion of the Southern traitors, betrayed tlieCin oinnati platform hy recommending the "Le- eumptnn Constitution," nnd ended with the full of Richmond, which luttor event was denomin ated by a Demoeratio paper of Oregon, at the time, at "the military tuocess nf Linooln a triumph nf disorganizing faction, at tho coat of all else." It took about nine years to kill off the old serpent, but the disease "State sovereignty and slavery extension" would kill anything; and it ie remarkable llmt the party survived such crises in the diseaso as the Charleston Convention, tho open rebellion aud treason of all It Soutliern leaders, their mur der of Union soldier at Fort Pillow and An- dersonville, the Chiongo Convention, the fall of Bichmoud ond the oxploaiiw of tho Confed eracy.

MORE TALK AUDIT THE KTATK FA1B. Fahmkk B. Mr, A, I do not knew who re ports our conversations for tlie Orrgon Stattt man, but I do know that they do not report my portion of it correct. Fakmkii A. A mistake of tho printer, per haps. What's wrong! B. I am mado to say that I triud "last year to collect n drove of four-year-olds and failed, It should have been last May. And, again, lam mrtjle to say I had two-year old steers offered to me, which I did not think would average 400 pounds uutt. It should have been four-year-old. " Why, good evening, Mr. G. did nntseo you ! ' . Faiimkb G, I am glud to sec you, howover, friend B, mid to find out who it is that talks so much about this trial of speed question j for it seems to me that llio difference of tho pre mium between tho draft horse and the race horse, is out of all proportion. Seventy-live dollar I surely too grout a difference between the pulling and tho running horse. A It is quite an easy matter to linil lault ; but, friend G , you yourseif would realize Ihe difficulty of fixing Up the premium lists so as to please every one, Just try to improve tho one we now have. Tho Board of Managers we now have, have got np a list that, in my judgment can not he mended until it has been tested by experience. The Society designs to offer such premiums a will covur the expense of the exhibition of the articles. By looking over the list, yoa will see that for all minor ar ticles the premiums offered will not only cover tho oust of bringing them to the Fair, hut pay handsomely for the Article besides. But as to Ihe case you allude to, wo will leare it to Mr. B, hero to sny what i the relative expense of fitting a horse to pull hi best or to run his best. U. Well, gentlemen, I can soon tay my say on that point. There i my "George" horse for Instance, he wit trained to rnn before I owned him, and I know something of (lie cost of training Vim, I have some idea also of the relative speed of the same liorae, trained and untrained. . U would not oost me one cent ex tra to iiniku him pull hi best at any time ; but I do not think 100 will more than cover the expense of titling him to rnn his best. The farmers of Oregon do not use their horses at speed, much. Hut siuoo I had thu first con vernation wilh Mr. A. ubout running horses, I have discovered that it is a good thing and profitable to have a dash of good blood in hnrsu. You have heaid nf the wolf hunt Messrs. T. Davidson, F. A. Smith. A. Pringlo, &c, took lust Saturday I ' A. and G Nn ; how did it eome out ? B. It came out well. The party met in the hills four miles south of Salem, and soou start ed three wolves one of which (a young mule) holed up" in a heaver house after a Ihrei hours' chase. Thu dugs dug him out nnd fin ishcd li nil, aud then started fur another cover, where it was supposed Ihe other two had taken refuge. The dogs "went in." and the game started again. . One of the party noticed the barking of one of the cayotes, and, concluding it wus going towards a certain dense thicket to the southward, rode around and placed himself at a point nf the copse reaching furthest in that direction. He had not been there but a short time, nutil I ho wolf was seen mukiug its way, as counted upon, except that it was out of gun shot. The Wolf started, ha, log. perhaps, 2(H) yards tn run across nn open space. The hun ter started, having about ,'00 yards to make iu order to out III in oil. 1 ho horse was nut to hi best. Tbe rider brought him to a dead stand at the most favonihlu spot- leveled aud aud fired at the last moment raised the "fox cry" and brought the doga to who'ro the wolf was lust seen, and In less thnn 100 yaids they found the mother of the mischief gasping her last.with two buck shot wounds. It was a case in which there was no lime to lose tho "dash of the horse decided tho matter. G. Well, now, that does mo good. That is using speed to soma purpose. I wish they would oouie down my way and hunt. I have lost the largest portion of my last spring' Ian bt by these pestiferout ivolvet. II. You have your wish, for tomo of thu tame party were nut yesterday (Thuredny) and rnn down and killed two more wolves close by your place. A. tGentleiueri. what sny rnu to regular organized hunts f tun the larmers id Ilia Wil laiuettu valley make such organizations both pleasant and profitable I 1 do not see whv they cannot. , II Nor I.

As I am now intending tq devote my time in the raising and improving of stock, 1 would here ask my brother formers is it not a shame and a dis grace to our country fur California aud Oregon to have lo depend upon Ihe Statei for our lanl aud bacon, and that we quietly sit down and lei them come in aud take the plume, aud .' cents per pound fur lard and '17 for bacon ; and when oor farmer are ready tn quietly (01111111 to take 15 cent for ours!

IIKAVKIt MONEY-A hTBAP OF OBEUOJI II1ST0BV. Through the poliieuesa of Seoretary May. we are enabled to lay before our readers the following letter, giving the history and circum stances connected with the "beaver money and the Oregon mint of 1849. (Sot tho Brunch Mint now iu dispute between the commercial cities of Portland and Dalles.) : . ' i ; Oreoon City, Aug. 4, ISC'). Han, Samuel K. May, Secretary of State of Oregon; Silti In reply to yours of 17th ultimo, re questing a history of tlie mint established in IM'J, I give you a brief account. Upon the discovery of tbe gold mines and tlie conse quent rush of miners, fur nearly every uiun that went to California at that tune became a miner, and the great demand for nppbe to nlollmand feed thorn. Oregon very naturally sunt a great number of her population together with nil tlie supplies that she oould spare from her jimmediate wants, receiving iu return a large amount of gold dust nf the most superior quality, taken from the Feather and Yuba riv ers principally. Nearly every man brought gold dust with him on his return to Oregon, and. finding that a great annoyance and waste aoonuipanied the payments of small sums in dust, wa naturally anxious to disooso of suffioencv nf dust for coin to meet his iinniediato demauds. , There being but little coin in tha country at that time, caused an iiiHux from tlie nearest point whore iteonld lie ulitained. viz: South America: and a the deiiaaemcut of the currency of nearly all the South American Slatet wai great and notoriont, to much to, in fact, thuf upon my return from the Atlantio tiue in tne latter part of 1847. before the gold mine were discovered, thev did not herniate to izive me, during my stay, in Panama, twenty-five of thf ir nominal imarters of it dollar in exchange tor a United State half eagle cum; ami wbeu you take into consideration that a very large amount of gold dust, the intrinsic value of which waa betweeu eighteen and nineteen dollar per ounce, wa being daily exchanged at the rate of eleven dollar per ounce, payable in this, de based South Americau ooin ut tlie rato ol lour of these nominal quarters of a dollar U the dollar, yoa will see at once the enormous los Oregon wu sulleriiig the double discount on the gold and coin. A small party ot gentlemen metal the count ing room of Cuniiliull & Smith to tuke tlie foregoing matter into coiitidurnlioii, and con cluded, for the general benefit of the country, to form -a company lor thu purposo ol coming the dust into a shape til at would ha of par val ue at any place where gold coin was used. The names ol the ptrtius that paid lor tne machinery, dies. Sen., and that incurred nnd lost the w hole expenses of the truusuotion were Killiorne, Magruder, Taylor, Hector, tamptiell 6c Smith. ' The design of the dies wa drawn by myself nt the first meeting of lite company, and imme diately adopted as being appropriate. Tlie turilf on good exchanged by thu Hudson nay Company for lurs (of which beaver money wa the innin item in Uregonj being much less man for ooiu, beaver orders on tho Hudson Bay Co. were considered tile best money in tlie ooun try. . As soon os we commenced making the coin, gold dust rose to tixtei n dollar! per ouuoe, at which ruto we exchanged our com lor uust, when to requettud. After having issued some ten thousand dol ors, ana tinmen mini ot our oruuioie (we nau with much trouble only been nliln to procure two), and having effected our object, viz : liaised the price of gold dust aud stopped the inlliix of Smith American currency, and every piece that we coined being at tlie expense of the company, wo concluded to oeaso operation and did so. " , I send you an as 7 made for me at the U. S. Mint ut Philadelphia in 1S50; the first men tioned on the meinorailuiu wu the clipping of tlie lust coining, and tlie content ol our last oruoibln when it brolfe. together with nine very lino xubu dust: the second 1 our Oregon beaver coin, and I assure you thut ev ery coin in thi ussuy was so abraded, that tho design wns almost iindistinguiahnhle. from the Wear by contact with alloyed and, of coursu. harder com. I also send yon the dies, winch, if you see proper, I would like to hnvo depos ited with the $10 pieco you allude to. They were made by W. II.

Statesman : The Santiam mines, which have fur a long time been gradually coming into notice, though gold can be washed from the moun tain aides, flats and bars of the streams, aro only remnrkablo in our view, at this time, for the gold and silver-bearing quartz ledgos, which show themselves ill many location! tipon the, turface, especially 011 the summit of the mountains, and in many instances between well defined wallt of trap rock, and distinctly traceable iu a eouth. easterly and northwesterly course. 8ome of those ledges prospect well in the outcropping rock, and all increaso in rlchnoss as they aro opened. That these loil go J hold gold and silver iu greater or less amount cannot be successfully denied, but whether in paying quantities remains to bo totted by the operation of a good quartz mill, in. charge of man wno inoroiiRiiiy unuersiauos vnu amal gamating processes! and, wlthoutdoubt, before a sure test can be bad, skillful chemical experiments will be necessary, in order to fully or practically consummate that affinity which is indispensable, in order to collect the precious inctala. Some tests have been made wbicb prove this rock to hold certain properties which render a common acid test quite inadequate, when, by thoroughly analyzing tbe rock, a good assay may be had j and it is now a subject of some couceru among the practical miners here, whether the mill now en route for the mines Will be so managed as to se cure a thorough working tost of their respective ledcos. The Mill Company aro now yory confi dent that thoy have found a practical manager a Mr. Siebert who left Salem this week, as we aro informed, with Mr. John 11. Moores, of the linn of J. H. St I. R. Moores, tor the purpoto of setting up tho machinery as fast as it can be taken in. Tho Company, wo learn, have employed teams to take ill the mill immediately, under the direction of Mr. Moores, and we are sure it will be a day of rejoicing when the long talked of mill arrives lately on the ground. Tbe frame of the building it up and looks well, and everything will be in readiness to receive it, no doubt, as fast as it arrives. The mountain road, which it really more thnn ordinary, is at present tomewbat washed aud slippery from the recent heavy rains, and we conceive it will bo no small matter to con vey the heavy machinery over it while in its pres ent condition, and, in our opinion, should not nave been undertaken until a few days of fttcHsant weather. Still, the season is well advanced, and " now or never" sueins to be the motto ; and all success to the undurtakinir! is the voice of every blast that reverberates among the mountains, coining tortn irom tneir tunnel mouths, whuru the earliest and "honest" minora are combatting the uuconipromisinir rock with steel slcdire and now. der, believing nnd making others believe that it contains that which makes many friends, insures the necessaries, comforts and luxuries of lifo, and even conquers tbe heart of beauty when all else fails; and your correspondent is one of lliem, and fully believes that .Santiam will yet nstuuish tlie world by its richness, of course. Tbe Union, Santiam, Salem, h Dorado and Keystone. Compa nies are battling away in their respective ledges, and some new ledges have been recently opened at toppernpolis, some ten miles trom (Juartzville, iu a southeasterly direction, which are said to be very good, especially the lead, which is said to be very wido and containing gold and silver, though we have not visited them. And not far trom Quartzville, up Dry Gulch some half mile, two lodges, called the Orescent and Maynnwer'have just been opened, with good indications. One virtue they have above many others. They have found quartz at the base of the mountain on both Gold and Quartz .Mountains, and it appears to be silver-bearing quartz. The Crescent Gold and Silver Mining Company, Captain Keeler. Super intendent, are working tiio Crescent, and we have seen tome ot the quartz specimens trom this ledge that in any other quartz region would be called superior, for tlie cropping rock. The ledge is some twenty-five feet wide, and Appears well de nned. J. ms Company have done considerable work on tho Keeler lode, in this tame locality, which prospects well some distance up the moun tain, and they are endeavoring to strike the lode at the base, with a tair prospect of success. The Mayflower lode shows a similar prospect to the Crescent. Upon this lode a Company has been formed, very appropriately termed the Plymouth Rock Company, claiming on Gold Mountain. Tin) Purtland and Santiam Company have secured some claims on Quartz Mountain, on tlie same lode, and aro engaged in opening what is known na the Wehfoot lode, witli a good showiog, having their tunnel fairly started. This lode is i urn above the quartz mill location, up Dry Unlet), and ex tends into uold .Mountain, opening at tlie base. Air. I oage, the buporinteiideut, who is an expert. diced quartz miner from Silver Mountain, Cali fornia, seems very confident in regard to the indi cations in these mines; and so, it seems, all miners who have visited or worked in the Washoe and Owyheo mines, consider the indications here more flattering than in either of those localities. Hull, even ihey are not able to prophesy with accuracy as to the real paying character of tho rock. It is all resolved iu a lew words ; If it is fouud to pay in a working process, tiioso who are interested in thnso ledges are going to be richly repaid for all their labor and expense, at least in most of the ledges that are being opened and if not, the judgment of ninny experienced and candid men ill be brought to naught. Tbe abundance of wood and water, and tho ad. lacent rich agricultural valley, all combino make rock pay at a lower hgure here titan in any other mining locality nn tlie coast. We may be inclined to be too hopeful, but it must be borne in mind that we have not affirmed that these mines will pay ; that would hardly be believed at this stage ot all.urs, it it were true. .1 vorkmg tert that is what we must sue, and that we are bourn to have, and good nod true nieu have' pledged their time and means to oring it ahout. v e uoe not name theio, but we will venture the prophesy mat tney will lie nanieu in tne future growth and prosperity of this Mute, when the faith that re. moves mountains is fully exercised in tho Maul am, and tbe silver bricks are forthcoming.
