Politlcnl pnrliei are pt-rlmpi Inseparable from fre inatittitloiia, and necessary to their perpetuity, vigor, and prospority ; and yet, while oomnietxlalile in itaelf. there ia a limit beyond which party real becomea an element of danger and discord. The lavage vitupera tion ef an unscrupulous press, iti iniliscritnl tte ahnte of pahlio men, and the beastly ha ' ranguel of groveling demagogues, ao dctinirftl iie and derange the masaei that an appeal to physical force ensues at a legitimate remit, and the windy "war of worda" anon culminatee in the blood of contested flolda. When men surrender thetuaelvei to the pursuit of political, and tote a Iree rein to the hater initinutt of their nature! in the qnrtt of power, It it not improbable that the twurd will toon be called In at the 6tting tequol of hot dispute. Tint it a letton which the bloody hand of battle hat already written on the tabled of the natlon't memory, hot it would teem to day that they have conned it to little purpote. The smolder ing gernit of rovolotion are about to kindle again into oonflngratinn wilder and more dit attrout than before. Already a ttorm It brew ing, which, uiiIcbi avertud by mme kindly providence yet umcen, will tWeep ut again Into that awfal abyss of woe whence we hare hut to recently straggled to the Imppy heightt of peace. And yet, when moderation ihould pretide over the councils of the nation and per vade the boaomt of tlio people, there wat never before to much of bitterness and rancor. Never before wat party feeling mure intense and uncompromising Hover before wot the highest officer of the Republic to traduced and maligned by hit people. Aa a civilized und enlightened nation, we are not expected to loom the dictatei nf reaaon. At a Christian nation, we are nut constrained to trample ev ery article of our blessed faith under fool ; and yet, tiio inmiaciug aspect of affairs would imli Ckte that we are doing both. Fur thia state of thing?, the radical parly, above all others, ia jottly accountable. The Icgitimulo process of reconstruction was resisted by them, in order that the "fruits oi victory" mi lit be secured not to the nation, but to themselves and their posterity forever. By them, the people of the South wero tantalized with odious and re vengeful propositions, and their disaliVclion magnified beyond ail Justice and reason. Ity them were maudlin and disorderly media con vocated at various points on tlio President's tour, to fling their reeking filth on the robes of official dignity and break ilowo the prestige of 1 formidable opponent. They have dishonored j the American nation before all the world by their unjuatifiuble ahusu of ita highest officer, wboae private character cren hot been covered with the calumny of the darkest insinuations. And yet It ie a difficult thing to circumscribe , the liberty of the press or attempt to rebuke iti aggressions with the ttroug arm nf law. Ill action can baldly be compassed by physical reatraiut, but, like many other things, most he , hazarded to the honor and intelligence of the I people, for whore dereliotiout no form of gov- eminent, however judiciously framed, can ever I atone. Something can bo pardoned to party I leal, but there it a limit to iti indulgence, I . which we of America must learn to respect. 1 Our tonga of patriotism nmst not be drowned ' in the discords of fnction, and toleration must I mitigate the asperitiet of discussion. It it pnt- tible to be earnest and animated in the de- fsnse of our political tenets without being vi ' eiont or vituperative. When our statesmen sod lawgiver! become to brutalized at to less I tight of dignity and decency alike, what can I we hope from the masses whom they onntrol I Division of tub Stat Thia subject hat f been somewhat canvassed of late, and to far at ws have observed, meets with approval. I In speaking of the prop i nl division, the I State tman. in the issue of December 29lh, last, i used the following language t ' The proposi- linn it at follows! Give Oregon all west of the 1 Cascade mountains, and lying between Cali i fornia and British Columbia ; form a new j State or Territory east of I ho Cascades, nut of . the territory which would be detached by the Cascades line from Oregon and Washington, i and a portion of Idaho. It will take time to accomplish it, and by the time the machinery can bt ret to work, the people east of the mountain inay he ready and able fur a Slate J- orgauixution. We are in favor of th division, and would suggest to the people that the ques tion it one to lie reasoned about Kith good feel- ' ing aud common tense, and not nun which should lio influenced by politics or sectional I prejudices. The interests of tlio two teclioni I sre diverse iu many particulars, and rcquiro legislation suittlile to their peculiar circmn i atances.

When Hilly McKay and lilt ted warriors return from their campaign ogniust I the Snakes, ws suppose the whole dusky crowd 1 will be entitled to the full rights nf citilenship in the State. This ia the clinchicg argument ; of the radical in regard to the "loyal blacks," 1 and we sea no reason why "Lo, the poor Indi- ' an," ihould not comv in for a share of it. Sharp Pkacticb.

Iii ihu mailer ol the I'ulk County contested elections, Judge Boise deoided that a pardon for any orimo on effenso restored the culptit to the full rights of citilenship. We give below an adverse opin ion of Judge Deady in hia correspondence to the llulletin, which we are inclined to think correct. At least it it a mutter of considerable importance to oar readen, and we submit it for their consideration ; Onr Constitution provides that that "the priv ilege of an elector ihall be furfeiltd by a con viciiod ol any oriine wntcll Is pumslmiile liy Im prisonment in the penitentiary." The consli tution aud laws give the Governor tlio power ti pardon ofl'ensei after conviction, hut are silent upon the subject of whether such imrdou ex tends only to tho specific punishment imposed by the judgment of conviction, or whether it ?oet farther, and workt a restoration of the orfeited privilogo. In the case of a person made incompetent at a witnest, hy statute, on account of con v lot ion of a crime, the rule of law it well settled, that a pardon duet not re store competency. The statute imposes the disability or forfeiture in the interest of the pnliho. at a rule of evidence and not at a pun ishment upon the convict, and on that account it remain! in force for the protection of society wniuner tne convict De pardoned or not. It seems to ine that this is an analogous case. Tho privilege nf an - elector it not a natural Ighl.bnt a political one, and may and ought to be given, withheld, or resumed hy society, us the public good may require. Tho constitution conlers the privilege of au elector upon certain persnm. not provides expressly that tins privil ege shall be forfeited, lost, by a conviction of lelouy. l hi torleiture li not imposed upon the individual ai a punishment for that crime, hut for the protection of society, because it was deemed unsafe and unwise to allow men who had been guilty of grave crimes to exercise such powers iu the community. Tim pre sumption, while it may be incorrect in a par ticular case, it, doubtless, upon the whole, true in point of fact, nd salutary in its edi cts Tho law in no woy provides for restoring the privilege, and when forfeited ia completely gone, and can only be restored by express pro vision of law. Skciiktary McC'um.ocu Dkkrniis John son. Secretary MuCullocli addressed a letter to W. II.

Almighty God, onr Heavenly Father, lias bo II pleased to vouchsafe to nt as a people another year of that national life which is in dispensable condition of pence. security and pro gresa. That year, moreover, has been crowned with many peculiar blessings. The civil war that was so recently among us has not been anywhere reopened, Foreign intervention has ceased to excite alarm or apprehension. In trusive pestilence has been benignly mitigated Domestic tranquility has improved. .Sentiments of conciliation have largely prevailed, and loy alty and pairiolisni-hove been widely renewed. Our fields have yielded abundantly of their fruils ; iinliistiy has been richly rewarded, and ye have been allowed to extend onr railroad system far into the western recesses of the coun try, while oor commerce has resumed its cue tomtiry activity In foreign sens. These national blessings demand a national acknowledgement. Now, therefore, I Andrew Johnson, President i f the United States, do hereby recommend that Thursday, the StDih day oi November next, he tet apart and be ob served everywhere iu Ihe several Statet and Terriloriet of the United States, by ihe people thereof, nt a day of thanksgiving and praise lo Almighty God, with due remembrance that in ills temple doth every man speak of Hia honor. I recommend also that on the same solemn no casion we do humbly and devoutly implore Him to grant to our national councils and our whole people the divine wisdom which alone can lend any nation into the ways of all good. In offer ing these national thanksgivings, praises, sup lic'ilions, we have the divine assurance that the Lord reinainclh a King forever. The meek Kill He guide ih judgment, and the meek will He tench His way. The Lord will give strength until his people, and the Lord w ill bless His people with peace, Iu witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United Stales to he nllixed.

Dresed out iu all their "war fixings," they came down Second I' reet to Washington, thence to main street, and down Main In Union street. The I milium presented a decidedly grand appear ance. As they passed through the streets they sang their war song and discharged their rifles. Which signified Ihat they were friends. They were taken lo Fori Dalles, where they will be provided with the necessary arms aud equip age for a Winter campaign against ihe Snakes The expedition will probably leave here next week, and we may reasonably expect Ihat the Warm Spring Indians will give a very good account of themselves jjalles Mountaineer. Wool from California The steamship Oriflamme brought up sovernl lml. s of Califor nia wool for the Oregon City Woolen Mills This iinp rlatiiin has been found necessary to supply Ihe demand forborne consumption, the Oregon crop having been shipped oil' to a more remunerative market Herald. TUB MAKKKTS. Erom the carefully compiled circular of McCraken, Merrill & Co., dated Sun Francis, co, Nov. Oih, we clip ihe following as to the market there : In presenting at this time a bird's eye view of our markets, we have little of encourage ment In narrate. Trade is quite inanimate in all departments, save Ihat id breadslnffs. Our warehouses are yet filled to repletion with flour and when.. The daily arrivals thus f-ir have In en more than sufficient for Ihu shipping re quirement. So much so that it is nt this mo ment quite (llffionlt to procure suitable storage for grain, either in this city or at other locali ties around Ihe bay. Iu a previous issue we placed the qminlitv that in store at 2.500,000 tacks. It is nil ol Ihat now, and perhaps more. At Ihe date of our last issue, the outside price for wheat was $1 90 per 100 lbs. The rise has since been gradual, reaching nt this writing $2.10 per 100 Hit., for choice samples. The outgoing steamer Constitution for Pa nama is taking on hoard considerable wheat for New York it it in double-sack gnumes, possibly 2000 bags. This grain it conveyed to New York hy what it oalleu the "tlow line. The freight charged thereupon 'is said to be about $1.68 per 1(H) lbs., gold, to be prepaid. We are beinniug lo receive applet and olher fruit from Oregon, all telling at low pricet. lit cent ly the receipts for hnoon and hami have been free from Oregon, but during the week one entire invoice of 178 sacks of bacon sides was pri uiptly reshipped to Portland by the mine steamer Ihat brought it, the market rate in Oregon being in I ly two cents per pound more than was obtained here. There has been tome abatement in the de mand for money since our Inst reference, and the maiuring obligations of the mercantile community have been well met.
