SATUIiDAY, NOV. 11, 1S71. (T. S. omclnl l'apor for Oregon. OOXSISTEXl'Y. A Democratic journal of Oregon rays that " I Jemocrats oppose ras cality whorcver it is found, while the Kadicals endorse it it" found in their own party." The sune jour nal shows its consistency by abusing the i):-Kj''ii"' for condemning the Tiepublicans in Texas tor their at tempted frauds against tlie lcmo c 11 its. This shows that it IM not lieliove the first assertion which it made, but was only conforming to the natural instincts of modern Democracy. We refer to this in stance only as an illustration. The Democratic press, everywhere, with hardly an exception, are equally as consistent and truthful. We "do not think they gain anything by such a course, People read now more than they used to, and are able to judge for themselves wheth er such statements are true. Those of the people who take Democratic papers, can very easily call to mind how much they have read in them of a condemnatory nature about the Tammany frauds. They can sum it all up in the Avoid uotJiin'j, pretty much. But in regard to the Hodge defalcation, these readers could not possibly remember all that these same Democratic journ als piled up in the shape of edito rials, headed by such captions as : "Padieal Honesty," "31 ore liadical Thefts," etc. Put when they found out that I lodge belonged to the Democratic party, it was real funny to notice how quiet they Inline all of a sudden. it was like the sud den stopping of a. great tornado. The logic of it was, Hodge is one of us, and mum is the word. The last Legislature of Oregon was guilty of an infamous swindle, denominated the Swamp Act. Hon est Democrats in the State know that act to be a miserable piece of "rascality," designed to cheat bona Jide settlers out of their improved lauds ; and yet how many J )emo cratic journals in Oregon do we find "opposing" thai; rascality to day ? We have the first one to see .yet. The fact is, the moral code of modern Democracy is drawn from some other source than that of the Uile. The Book of Books forbids selfishness and injustice, as exarapled in the case of the unjust Steward, and yet the Democratic press refuses to condemn the Litigant and Swamp Act measures of the last Legisla ture. The Bible says: "Thou shalt not steal." Tammany steals enor mously millions of money are stolen by Tammany but because Tammany is the principal leader in the Democratic party of Xew York and the nation, no voice of condem nation is heard from the Democracy of Oregon ; but ou the contrary, in order to distract public attention from Tammany, a great hue and cry is begun against the liepubliean party, charging it with numerous frauds and thefts, tlxe great bulk of which are traceable solely to the fertile imaginations of Democratic journalists. In this manner they have from the first attempted to shield .Tammany from investigation and punishment. Even now, since a few leading Democrats in Kew York have come out against the lling, the Democratic journals in Oregon, at least, are silent. The readers, of Democratic journals need not be surprised - to read editorials written in condemnation of those Democrats in New York who are now assisting in bringing Tweed & Co. to justice.. l In view of thes e facts, patent to every reader of Democratic ' journ als, how truthful is the assertion that Democrats oppose rarcality wherever it is found ? Without uniformity in principle, having a variety of "departures," how ridic ulous and absurd to claim infallibil ity.: The most superficial observer can easily detect the sham.i ; i The liepublican party claims no infallibility. So long as it is com posed of human, elements, or adiicr ents, it must necessarily be more or less imper'ect in faith and practice. It claims to le honest, however, in the advocacy of a code of principles, clearly denned, and of uniform ac ceptance. Under its wise and judi cious management, the Xation is advancing in wealth and happiness. In managing the vast machinery of government, some dishonesties, de falcations, thefts, have lieen perpe trated by its- agents. These have lcen lew, however, in proportion to the number employed. Whenever these have occurred, they have .been exposed and condemned by the Republican press as well as the Democratic. Before it was known that Hodge was a Democrat, many of the liepublican journals includ ing the lii:uisTr.u, held him up to condemnation. So far astheKrc istki: is concerned, it does not, pro pose to lecome an accessary to any crime by refusing to cxjkjsc, or con demn, where the interests of human ity require such exposition or condemnation. few thinkers, . manipulators, give j j thoughts, principles, habits, to ! great political parties. The habits j of popular leaders arc very effi cient in moulding the conduct of admirers. Such men as General Jackson, Clay, Washington, do an immense amount of good or evil, as these qualities predominate in their sentiments and lives. The daily walk of the minister of the gospel is fir more ei'hVient in per suading to a ii'e of piety, than his ; sermons. i he consistent lite tit a j Luther,-Calvin, Wesley, was more satisfactory to their adherents than I the logic of their creeds.

To convince the under- standing is not half so difficult as to persuade to a corresjionding ractice. I'ractiee, or doing, 'is ! more the result of example, or ; association, than intellectual con viction. Traits and habits, mo fives and desires, are mainly form ed from living examples. The ex ample of father and mother is -, the most potent in moulding the dis position and habits of the child. The are looked upon as jierfect models of propriety by the inno cent offspring All knowledge and truth and virtue are symbolized in their daily lives. To reach fath er's attainments and character, is the highest ambition of the little son. . To grow up and possess mother's grace and adornments, is a consummation desired by the little daughter. The parent may inculcate good morals, forbid evil practices, but unless his daily life is a" practical illustration of his precepts, his labor will bo in vain, the precept will be ignored, while the practice will lx? followed most truthfully. The impress of the every day lives of the 3 parents, their dispositions, their words and actions, their very manner of thinking, are more or less impress ed on the minds and hearts of the children, and reflected in their subsequent lives. Assimilation to living ideas and examples,- is,- the tendency of human development. The same principle of example moulds the habits and customs of society and government. The hab its of the more intelligent, wealthy and powerful, - become the centers of attraction. Their customs and manners become..' patterns of the highest refinement and social devel opment. The social status- is regu lated by their daily walk and con versation. They regulate the style of a hat and bonnet, and the. cut of a dress and teoat. ' If theyeat soup with a fork," and put mustard on apple pie, "yerybody else pro ceeds at once fetlo the sainer thin" it becomes the ; fashion. Xo mat ter how ridiculous or unhandy a thing may be, if it is introduced and used by these central lumina ries of propriety, that is sufficient it becomes the mode at once. Ideas, too," have their central ; lu minaries living, active, who give coloring and point and direction to thought. The thinking world are influenced by the habits of .thought inculcated by these. 1 If their habit is to theorize and philosophize, the world of letters soon becomes possessed by the same propensity- oceans of theories and philosophi cal vagaries and- disquisitions -are poured out like Hoods. If the cen tral magnets of thought become superficial in their tastes, and give preference to light, trashy literature, its effect is soon perceptible in ' the milk-and-water effusions " which, characterize the literary press.

Thus it happens, that the selrtshness of the patient and the selfishness of the physician alike tend to produce an extravagant estimate of the ne cessity and virtue of medication. ,x - .

The snakes are said to retire into their dens about 2 r. 31. every day, af ter which all is quiet until the sun's rays again reach the quarry, when the same thing is repeated. Two hundred and seventy-five snakes were killed that tlayv the number, for two weeks footing" up 0,500. while it is supposed that ten times that number escaped. On the 14th of October the snakes com menced to return and enter their dens for the winter, when the same slaugh ter is repeated. The ledge of the quar ry is twejity-two feet iu' height, and nearly perpendicular, and down that distance they craw l, roll and tumble, -j catching on a cratr. and. with a twist of their tail, they disappear in the dark crevices for tlieir long sleep. j Last Fall on the 11th day of OctoIer came unnoticed by the men ; they were busy with their toil in the rock below. The foreman was half stoop ing, drilling into a rocK preparatory for a blast, when suddenly across his neck dropied a monstrous spotted ad der, hanging and hissing half his length on either side, they saw fifty or more snakes pouring over the edge of the cliff, and crawling down the ledge. Then it occurred to them that the 14th day of October had come, and for the next two weeks swarms of snakes kept pouring in. This quarry with Us den of snakes is worthy the attention of the curious and .scientific. It h;is doubtless for centu ries been a resort of serpents, for. at the bottom of the ledge ! of gypsuin where it joins on' the iron ore, are found the petrified bodies of snakes.
