TDK FOIKTII OF JULY 8PKECH
WHICH Wl INTENDED TO MAKE TO OUR READ
ERS LAST WEEK.
Ninety years ago the old Itiilcpenoe Bell at
Philadelphia proclaimed " Liberty to the Urn,
and to all the inhabitant) thereof ;" hut in a
Journey of leu than sixty years the sinister
fiend of human slavery had to well nigh suc
ceeded in itrangling tho herculean infant nf
American liberty, that thenoefnrward hit prog
ress wai disputed at every itcp. As years
dragged heavily on, thoughtful men discovered
lbs) ' irrepressible, conflict," aud set their honse
in order to meet the impending oriaia. A free
press would not always remain silent upon tho
till of a lyitom of moral and political crime,
which would not permit investigation nor brook
condemnation; and free ipeeoh railed aloud its
voice for an even race between freedom and
lavery. The principle) of Jefferson's immor
tal oonception of right, truth and justice, a)
annotated in the American Declaration of In
dependence, ejuld not be treated ai "glittering
generalise) ;" hot the right to establish them in
aplrit and In truth wai demanded for the pio
neer Territories a well aa for the Stale).
Slavery met thia demand by an appeal to
armi, to destroy the nation which had been
proclaimed on the 4th of July, 177(1. That
appeal waa carried by the American people
before the " God of batllea," and hat been de
cided. For a little while Freedom at dejected,
bemoaning and sorrowlu! among her slain son)
at Boll Ron but decently laying the slaught
ered heron in their latt retting place, ihe gird)
np her loin, oalla her armor-bearers from out
the pine foreata and wheat-field prairie) of the
North, and aoon her iword i) teen flashing in
gloriou) triumph, commemorating the auspi
eioui anniversary over lhe.battlenients of Vicks
borg. The Dagon of Slavery fell upon hi) face
nd bortt asunder and the flaming banners of
Freedom are once more waving frain every
flig-staiT in the nation. In apito of bloody
banded Ireaaon, and it) coadjutor (cowering,
ehiverlog, compromising copperlieaditm), wo
have lived to glory in a Fourth of July when
one flag baa bceu folded to the heart of every
State, and ono Conititution bind) all in an in
divisible Union.
The God of Juilice baa been in thi) matter.
With a just cause, the power or the Southern
armies never could have been broken. Hut
Omnipotence let fall his bolted wrath upon the
only black spots of oppression upon the fair
land of Colombia. There are yet somo uneasy,
shifting olouds of di)uontcut some murk'niese
and vaproaa gloom in the Southern horizon
bnt with patience, prudence, charity, and, above
11, juitioe, these exhalations of the battle lie Id
will soon disappear; and over all we shall soon
behold Freedom lifliog op the onus of our na
tional redemption to the admiring gaze of Bp
plaoding millions of freemen, In all lands.
He is but a dull student of our pant history
and present decade who does not read its les
sons for the future; and the statesman who does
not take advantage of our experience to pro
vide wise legislation lor the nation is nnworthy
of the name and undeserving his position. What
lbs reformation led by Lntber was to the Chris
tian world, the reoent rebellion in the United
8tates is to the world of politics. Old preju
dices have been broken down, old policies have
been swept away, and the institution) of a cen
tury') grewtb have been utterly destroyed.
Men have grown apaoe, the intellect is taking
in larger views of life, and civilization has wid
ened Its boundaries. Upon the grand question
of lbs integrity of the Union, a " manifest des
tiny " baa decreed that there shall ultimately
be bnt on Government and one people in
North America, and that that people will bo
freemen, and tbelr Government the perfection
of repnblioraism. Nature sets no insuperable
barriers to the expansion of a vignrons, pros
perous, Jost and humane nationality, save where
Ihe " imperial waves of old Ocean resign their
empire amid the breakers of the beach." There
may be broad and deep rivers, yet their onoon
fjoered floods become bnt the highways nf com
merce. We may have onr "Allrghenirs " and
"Sierras," with the sublimer altitude of
" Hoed " and " Shasta," yet they will become
hot resting places for Ibe American Eagle, as
be surveys the conquests of his nation .upon
either aids. It is not possible for any mortal to
prefigure or fortell the grandenr of that empire
which onr republio may achieve under the im
partial administration of joet and equal laws.
The raoes of the Occident and the Orient have
met in oar day upon the basis of an equality of
citil rights, nnder one flag, and Ihe patient
labors of lbs one. rouning through the experi
ence of forty centuries, is but made Ihe servant
and aid of Its Anglo-Saxon superior. Our
ouuntry baa already achieved among nations
. the first position in ths perfection of arts and
science, in ths glory of military prowess, in Ihe
extent of territory, in lha freedom aud excel
lence of laws, and In Ibe happiness, prosperity
and Intelligence of ths people. It is not pos
sible for Ibis glorious beniflcenoe lo Ihe human
raos lo totter and fall in disgrace. It will go
on and just Imagine the multiplied greatness
which this empire of lbs weal shall present lo
ths child of a dozen years, now befogged with
his map of thirty-six States, when ibut boy
(ball bend nnder Ibe weight of three-score and
, ten. May Ihe glory nf our fatherland increase,
may its greatness be multiplied, may its good
ess be Inestimable; may its flag be advanced
higher and higher,
Until oe Its folds tlx Man he tnuttli.lird.

TDK IIIDSOX II U COMI'AW S CLAIM.
We have been permitted lo make u cursory
examination of the evidence nf this Company in
support nf its claim against Ihe United States,
so far as it has been taken; and from the dep
osition of Dugalil Mactavish, chief factor of the
Company, taken at Montreal, Canada, we ex
tract the fallowing items, which may ho of in
terest to our readers. Maolnvish entered the
service of this fur company in 183.1, as a book
keeper, crossed the Rocky Mountains into Or
egon in 1839, acted as bonk keeper of Ihe oom -pany
at Vanconver for many years, and was
made chief factor of the company in 1851.
For his services at this time, and since he came
to the position or chief factor, his salary has
been quite handsome, according to his own
words, "two eighty-fifths nf forty hundredth
parts of the profits nf the w hole for business of
Ihe company." He also has the tamo interest
in the claim against tho United States. His
valuation of properly in this country is quite
rose-colored ; as, for example, he eitiiuiited the
value of Ihe Vancouver establishment, as main
tained by the company, at the clever little sum
of five or six hundred thousand dultais. To
make this out, he places 1,92(1 acres at Van
couver, including the company's buildings, at
Ihe smn of two hundred and fifty dollars per
acre; 3,200 acres at Lower Plain, just below
Vancouver, at one hundred dollars per aero;
and 12.000 acres below Lower Plain at twenty
live dollars per acre ; and then lumps the "good
will" of the Indians at enough to make nut hit
sum. We are of opinion that the people ol
Clarke county would be very ghil to sell nut
to Sir Dugdale Mnctovish, mid throw in their
lire stock, houses, and nil Ihe improvements nf
fifteen years' labor, for much less than his fig
ures. To show how closely this Scotch Eng
lisliman estimates, he soys that the Vancouver
establishment comprised "pig styes and two
grape vines of great value." From this state
ment we should infer that there Vancouver
grape vines were something like those, from
which the Israelite spies took the fruit which
they bore back in triumph from the land of
Canaan. This it but a sample nf the nliannl.
ities which go to inaka up this humbug
"trumped np" claim nf this grasping monop
oly. Hut with all bia Scotch whims, Muctav.
ish gets in some truth. He states that the com
pany's buildings at Cowlitz, fur nhich they ark
some fifteen thousand dollars, tumbled into the
river, and that Ihe company had abandoned
Forts Hall, Walla Wolla and Doise before the
American) assumed control nl the country.
Ho states tho onmpany'a annual profile from
Ihe business in furs, nn this side of the Moun
tains, at $30,000 ; the profits of the Sandwich
Island) trade, 110.000, and the profile of Hie
Russian American, trade nt $10,000; so Mint
l lie company') net profits in the Oregon terri
tory amounted to about $."0,000 per nmiHin.
We think Ihis was at least a " living " business.
and that, as it turned out In be Auiericnn soil,
they bare made quite enough off their neigh
bor's land to pny lliein for Ihe trouble nf leav
ing it. The account ought to lie rquarrd with
out paying another cent.
The United Stales is not yet done hiking
testimony, and we may refer lo the subject
again. Our Government has been very for tun
ate in selecting the Hon. W. C. Johnson to at
tend lo the American interests involved, as the
energy and signal ability he has manifested in
iriiign.g out the truth from Ihit monstrous cliiiin
against the notional purse, shows him lo be cm
phatically tho right n an for the case.
Capt. Lafoi.i.ktt'h Coiu'AKr.-?-Compa
ny A. 1st Oregon Infantry, was mustered out
of the service at Fort Yamhill, on July 1st.
This company of Oregon Volunteers deserve
more than Ihe mere mention of their mutter
out." They were the first men to respond tu
Ihe call of the Slate for soldiers, ami were tho
first organized into a company. Their conduct
during the service has been must exemplary
and commendable, it is related nf lliem by
their captain and surgeon, that nhlie stntiuue
away out at Camp folk, one hundred and fifty
miles from any while face, and imprisoned in
their camp by almost impassable snows, the
Captain and Surgeon left camp for the Indian
Reservation, to be gone several days, ami left
exposed to their view ill the Captain's quarters
several boxes nf flue liquors, and several boxes
nf tobacco, not by way of temptation, but ho.
cause there was no storehouse for these things,
and that the liquor and tohnoon were not on
ly found untouched and undisturbed, although
Ihe men had used the Captain's room constant
ly, hut it was undisturbed the whole win
ter, although Ihe men were all entirely desti
tute of such articles. This it but a siuglu in
stance of Ihe noble conduct nhich these brave
hoys from Folk and Denton, have displayed
during their tiresome service in Ihe mountains.
Ws need not say that they possess the entire
confidence and affection of their commanding
officer, and thai be maintains a like hold upon
their good opinions. After they were muster-
d nut and paid off. Ihsy repaired to Ihe Cap-
Iain's quarters, demanded a parting speech,
gave him three hearty cheers, and bid him an
alTvCtionato farewell. Captain aud Company
alike are noble fellows, and Oregon niay well
he proud i f all such.

AN.MVKKSAKV ( KLEMUTION.
The celelirnlinn of the Fourth of July in Ihis
place passed off very pleasantly, with one or
two exceptions, and with much more spirit and
enthnsiiiHin than we have usually observed for
several years. Tho turn nut in Ihe procession
of citizens, Firemen. Good Templars, car
riages, etc. was very large, and the exercises
of the celebration conducted in the most ap
propriate mnnner. - Tho car load of thirty-six
little girls, each waving the start and stripes,
and elegantly decked with flowers and ever
greent, made a fine feature of the procession.
The music furnished by the Aurora Brass Band
could nut be excelled. The oration nf Dr.
Wythe was eloquent and appropriate, and re
ceived with Hie greatest enthusiasm.
A prominent feature of the day's perfurm
anco w as the ceremonies of the " Flug Ug
lies." They were about a) ludicrous a set as
we have ever beheld, but their introduction of
Boyakin and Jeff in hoops was hardly allowa
ble. The orator of the Plugs delivered an im
mense oration, covering something 'near four
hundred pages of foolscap, so closely written
you could not see the lines. He made tome
good points and did hi) part well.
We regret to have to slate in this connection
that some ' Jeff Davis Democrats," as they
called themselves, could not respect tho day
better Ihaii to give vent In their infamous trea
son on our streets, by damning the flag. One
man, who lives over tho river somewhere, de
dared that any man who would inarch after
" that flag" (pointing to the national banner
as it passed) " ought to be shot," and then af
terwards qualified that by declaring that " any
Democrat w ho would march under it ought to
he shot." His blatant treason could not be
tolerated here, and a lot of Union men took
hi in in charge and forcibly placed him over the
river. Those who took part to screen the vil
lain have sufficiently identified themselves with
the luminous sentiments he expressed to mark
them for the future, Enemies nf the Govern
ment ought lo be taught by nn illustration of
Lynch law, that the loyal men will not permit
traitors to insult Ihe (lug on the Fourth of July
If such men have no mnre regard for the peace
nf community than lo try to gut up a riot at
this national celebration, they ought In know
that peaceable nnd law abiding citizens will
have but little rega:d for their necks after the
riot is started.
The Good Tkmn.aiis. The growth ot the
Order of Good Templars in Oregon has been
rapid almost beyond precedent. But little
over one year ago Ihe first Lodge was organ
ized ut Jacksonville, under a charter from Ihe
Grand Lodge of California, and n w Ihe order
numbers forty bulges, working under th
"(Jrnnil Lodge nl Oregon." 1 hero have heen
as yet nn detailed reports of membership rent
into thu Grand Lodge, it having heen but
recently organized ; lint Prof. Pearson, the
Secretary of the Grand Lodge, and one of the
chief promoters and best workers i f the or
der, informs us that Ihe membership nf the
Order must now reach nearly three thousand,
in Ihe State. Such prosperity in a reform as
sociation w as never dreamed of for any part nf
this const. Tho work is still going nn, and ev
ery week increases the allendaiica and enthu
siasm. May we not certainly predict for this
Order more limn an ephemeral existence, nnd
the accomplishment of a great good,

TRIAL OK J KIT. DAVIS.
Richmond, .June (). There was quite a l-irge
attendance in the court room tn-day. Heed,
Hrady, and Umwn. counsel for Davis, were
present. Ilennetsy, Assistant District Attor
ney, moved Ibe postponement of the trial of
Jefferson Ivis till the first Tuesday in Octo
ber, which motion was granted by Judge Uu
dor wood. The Cnuit then adjourned to that
day.
Among the reasons given by Hennessy for
making his motion to postpone the trial of Jeff
Duvis to day, were, Davis is not now and nev
er was in the custody of this Court, but it held
by Ihe United Ststet government at u State
prisoner ; nnd if he was in the custody ( this
court, the Attorney General could not now
come hero and try the case ; nnd Davis is in
delicate health, and it would bo a cruelly, in
this hot nnd nnhealthy reuson, to subject him
to a protracted trial.
Brady, one of the counsel for Davis, said the
reason why Davis was not 1 1 the ens'ody of
this court was that no copy of Ihe indictment
hml been served upon him, nor any list of wit
nesses, nor any other act done as required by
the statute. Still, he was anxious for a speedy
trial. If it is hot here, it is worse at Fortress
Monroe.
Judge Underwood said Chief Justioe Chase,
who was to preside at this tiial. had named the
first Tuesday in October when it be must con
venient for iiim, mid the Attorney Getiernl had
indicated In him that he could not now give
the case that atlentinn which its importance
demanded. The Court wnt then adjourned
until the first Monday lu October next.
False Calves and Tilting Hoops. The
Mound City correspondent of the Memphis
Ariut lays ;
Theso institutions are much in vogue in the
Mound City. Despite the sneers of the press,
and thu impudent stare of the men, the women
folks pers st in wearing them .Some duys ago
an inveterate wsg in thi) cKy di'oovered that
hit wife hud received an extensive wardrobe of
this kind: He used every effort to dissuade
her from exposing herself in extravagant rig
gory, but us the was rather good looking and
disposed to be rapid, the insist) d ou displaying
herself much in the agonizing fashion. He
met her on the street where she was railing
along with all sail spread, a high headed crult,
and producing considerable sensation. Taking
the dear little thing ill custody, he whixpcicd
to her that her hoops were disarranged, and
she stopped in a popular resort for a inumeu't,
while ho adjusted them. Taking advantage nf
his opportunity, he cut a considerable opening
in one of the artificial calves, and the sawdust
stuffing began to leak. All unconscious of the
fact that her leg was dwindling away, and that
the was leaving a stretch ut sawdust in her
track, she proudly swung along until a friend
informed her uf her accident.
-""CituiteiiKS in Walla Walla. The edit
orial correspondent of tho Portland Christian
Advocate, writing from Walla Walla, lays :
There arc three churches in town ; a Meth
nilist house, plain, cheap and in bud repair ; a
Congregational house ol better character ; and
a Uoiuish, which is more numerously attended
than either of the Protestant churches. Iicv.
