i Conceding that General Grant
has made a better President than he
expected, Mr. Greeley still opposes
Lis nomination for 1 872. It will
be couoling to the friends of the
General to know that the support of
Mr. Greeley is not always neces
sary to success. In 1840 he op
posed the 'nomination of General
Harrison; but he was nominated
and elected, notwithstanding. In
1844 he' supported Mr. Clay for the
Presidency, but (.lay was defeated.
In 184S Mr. Greeley vehemently
opposed the nomination of General
Taylor; but Taylur became Presi
dent. In 1852 he bitterly fought
against the nomination of General
Scott ; but Scott was nominateh
In 1856 he was enthusiastic hi his
support "of General Fremont, and
the General went under. In 18 CO
he was one of the few that went to
Chicago to nominate Mr. Bates:
rdly made a rime m
the convention. In 18G4 he per
sistently strove against the nomina
tion, of Mr. Lincoln, and came near
bolting the party; b-.it Lincoln W3S
nominated and elected. He favored
"the nomination of Mr. Chase, in
1868 ; but the convention thought
best to bestow that honor on Gen
eral Grant, his favor to the con
trary i notwithstanding. The friends
xT General Grant, therefore, may
derive much consolation from these
historic reminiscences ; awl in the
present opposition of Mr. Greeley

squarely brought to an issue, opine

of increased majorities, from each

are somewhat alike in their political
characters. very nearly matched
and as onr last Legislature adopted
the system of rascality and swin
dling, in the shape of party legisla
tion, so characteristic of the Cali
fornia Legislature, at;d which has
resulted in its overthrew, we may
safely conclude that in our Con
gressional election of Juno 1872,
the people of Oregon will show their
appreciation of such a party in a
brilliant Republican victory. Tlie
inlluer.ee of these upon the Presi
dential contes t of 1872 may be easily
sumrsed. The Fast will answer to
the "West, the North to the South ;
ar.d from every hill-top and valley,

Some of our Democratic cotcmp
oraries are put to great straits for
something out of which to mami-
ministrators, is rapidly increasing in
prosperity, wealth and power. The
smiles of Providence are resting
un.n us as a nation, a:.d gratitude
should swell in every bosom.
The Do'mocracy are continually
clamoring for a reduction of taxa
tion and an economical administra
tion of the Government. They
charge tl e Republican party with
extravagance, with corruption-frand,
everything that is dishonest, soliish
and oppressive. But what is their
record in the United States Senate
on the subject of taxation ? It was
proposed to reduce tlie taxation
some eighty-live million dollars ;
and while the Republican Sci.afc.rs
voted aye, the Pemecratie Senators
voted nay. Not a single man of
them voted in favor of tlie measure.
Ihe

the ''Republicans would have the
credit of the. reduction a:.d Democ

Since the discovery of the theft
of the vouchers in the Controller's
office, New York, Mayor- Hall
has addressed a communication
to the Controller requesting
him to resign, that some ether
person may be placed in the
office to investigate its' affairs and
restore public confidence. It is 1 re
lieved that this request will bo re
fused by Connolly. It seems a fac
tion has broken out in this band of
Tammany thieves. It is said that
Hall and Sweeny are trying to
crush Tweed and Connolly. The
demand of the Mayor, for Con
nolly's resignation, excites the indig
nation of" the friends of the latter.
They say if any resignation is made
it must include all who are in any
way tinctured with complicity, in
the transactions of the city govern
ment. The only difference between
these couplets of thieves seems to
be, that Hail and Sweeny are' a
great deal more crafty and expert
at the business than Tweed and
Com.ollv.
If our Democratic friends can see
anything comforting' hi the "signs
of the times," they are certam'y
the most easily tatistied and cheer
ful ieople in the world. First, the
Democratic Territory of Montana
elects a Republican Delegate
something that never before oc
curred in her history. Next, we
have a large Republican gain in
Kentucky, heretofore the very Gib
raltar of Democracy. Then rap
idly following these examples comes
North Carolina, vrith an unexpect
edly, even to the most sanguine
Republicans, large majority for the
Republican ticket ; showing that a
largo numlier of whites must have
cut loose from Democracy and joined
the party of progress. But right
here on the Pacific coast, ' where
Democracy calculated on certain
and overwhelming success, having
her strongest and ablest men in the
field, have the people "gone back"
on the '-time-honored principles,"
and let Democracy "out." The
defeat was suddeiw terrible, and
overwhelming, ail Democracy is
thoroughly demoralized. Verily,
Democracy is a the down-grade,
brakes off, without conductor or
brakesman, and the "signs of the
times" seem to indicate a terrible
smash-up not far in the future a
smash-up that will leave not a ves
tige of Democracy to swear by.

Tlie Theory of Raspail, an old
one, as to the origin of the cholera,
is now receiving much attention in
the medical world. The theory
supposes the cause of the disease to
be a species of animalcule that im
pregnates the waters contiguous to
tlie plague, and di-appear simulta
neously with it. Camphor is a dead
ly poison to them, and , hence the
remedy suggested fbr a preventative
of cholera, as will as tor a' mitiga-

following is suggested by a corres
pondent of the New York Herald :
"All water for drinking purposes
should be boiled and kept tightly
covered, for it is in the water where
the greater number of auimalculse
are found. ' We should also abstain
from all liquids which have net
been thoroughly purified, by fire. A
judicious use internally of a few drops
of spirits of camphor daily destroys
the aninialcuiiB as fast as they enter
the systecd, ; thereby arrestiDg the
