There nro in Oregon a ooniVderatod
lwtul of political gneiTilhis, whotuo total-!
ly devoid of principle or consistency, and
who seek uiily their own personal eml in
whatever thoy o",u;ap in party matters.
They have been banded together for years
ami havo at one time and nnothcr preyed
upon every party or i'lettou which hold
or wax apparently promised temporary
wty. Thoy wore originally unfledged
Abolitionists Five Soiler to-caUed
but while nomocracy wan in tho ascend
ancy hi Oregon, thoy professed dovotiou
to the imrty, wore received within its nin
ph folds, and immediately, began upon a
system of scheming which would bring
them to tho control of the party organ!
tat ion : Their persistent, confederated
rrTori.s, were finally crowned with success.
They accompli -hod their purpose, dis
pensed nntuitg their hand the more, impor
tant public office", gave to their peculiar
class terv lines the crumb and picking,
ond in time converted tho organization
into a mere machine for the promotion
of their own aggrandizement. They per
verted tho principles of tho party from
the trim interpretation Vnd intent, nd
insisted that fealty to clitpno dictation was
paramount to thne-hotitcvd lleinooratle
faith and i arty usagv. Kinally, the great
nuu of tin Iemoeraey, having become
convinced of their un worthiness as lead
ers, resolved to displace them, and select
faithful, honest' sound lVmoorat- f.ir
their Mandard-Vnrvrs. On finding theiu
"mjlves no longer ;blo to control the party,
the members of the band commenced
.eheming to t fleet its overthrow, Guer
rilla political luuchinations were resorted
to, nd many good, but misguided men,
were seduced into the support of the
guerrillas. Theyi had intended to go
over to thtnetny in a body, and at once,
but nn unfortunate division made in the
Democratic ranks in the States cast of the
mountains, gnve them an opportunity -to
more effectually dreak down tho party in
this State by a feigned devotion to a pop
ular lender. Although they had only in
the Spring before taken btrong ground
agninst Mr. lXmglas.nd denounced hw
theory of Popular Sovereignty, they now
became professed champions of himself
and his cause, and thus concealed from
their own hoodwinked followers their real
design that of full fellowship with the
Republican organization, which, they
foresaw, wa"s likely to mine into control
of the Federal Government.
Having succeeded in giving tho State
to the" Republicans, the guerrilla band
sought open brotherhood with the victors.
They forced themselves upon that party,
and immediately proceeded to acquire
control over it. Again they were sne-i
ewsful, and as the wages ef their treache
ry to and overthrow of the IVnicratic
party, thoy were given the best offices
within the means of tho Republicans to
bestow. The majority of tho guerrilla
band ti!l continue to hold these liijrli
O
and lucrative position-.
. But the influence and might of the
Republican party is on the wane. It re
quires no more than ordinary sagacity to
foretell its speedy, certain downfall. The
guerrilla band rightly guess that the pres
ent StateVdmtni.srration will end the rule
of Abolitionism in Oregon ; they rea-ily
foresee , the triumph which, awaits the
Democracy next June. Accordingly,
they are beginning to trim their sails to
catch the popular breeze, and to gchemc
and labor so that they phall again enjoy
power and place under the new dispensa
tion. The advent of Senator Xesmith to
tne State this year was the initial move
ment of "their scheme. He traveled over
the State ostensibly -on official business
connected with the Indian Department
but in reality to instruct his blowers and
strikers in the" peculiar duties they are
to perform, and to drma up recruits to
his wnrjtnc. desperate cause.
. Alread? can be discovered the effects
of the political views he disseminated
ncrs ana mere, in certain localities
throughout the State. In the vain hope
that the same causes which have produced
difenssion, difference or schism, in the
ranis of the Democracy in some of the
States across the , mountains, may have
the same effect in Oregon, the-guer
rillas -wul prosecute, their work. They
hope to convince Democrats that; what
titer are pleased to term '' radical prin
ciples," t, c, the principles of Jef
ferson and Madison have become ob
solete, and that, under these principles, the
party can never accomplish victory; that
present organization must be aban
doned, and upon its base must be reared
a conservative" organization, which

several and startling innovations sought
to-be mgrafted into our 'governmental

success.
These tudicmera and yoli mongers
may as well be told at the outset of their
machination here, that their artful but
dishonest devices will not, prevail in Ore-
gou at least, with the Democracy of tho
State. Thy are knowu, and their ina
bility to again produce schism, to lead off
Democrats, and to materially harm the
party, ia also known. There will be no
" re-organization" of the party to suit
their wishes, nor the wishes of any others,
The Democratic organization in Oregon
is sound, strong and firm. Democrat
know the perfect ability of their party to
accomplish pueoosp in tho campaign of
next year upon tlio true, clearly denned,
boldly avowed principles of their politi
cal faith. They offer cordial welcome" and
brotherly greeting to all who come ask
ing, in sincerity, fellowship with them.
Rut they seek not, nor will they accept,
additions to their ranks at tin) sacrifice of
their principles. The old guerrilla baud
is simply mischievous, not powerful.
Years ago they had sufficient iuflueuee to
lead many astray from the Democratic
fold. Their selfishness and laok of prin
ciple has long since been discovered, and
they are now powerless for barm, impo
tent for good. Scarcely a corporal's
guard in number, they have neither the
jower to tear down nor build up. The
Democracy of Oregon are unite uncon
cerned about the course the land may
elect to pursue. Rut if they seek again
to acquire fellowship with the party, they
must understand that they will have to
come to tho party ; tho party will not sac
rifice a single principle, abate not one jot
of its true faith, to gain their pupport or
influence. We know that we but reflect
tho real sentiments of our faithful party
brethren of the whole State, in saying
that honorable defeat, in battling under
our principles, will be preferred to a di.
honorable triumph, obtained through the
abandonment of these principles or ques
tionable means, llut.our party will not
i
be defeated. Victory will furely be otirs
in the State election of next June

It seems to discredit belief that any one who en
tertains a sincere reeanl for tho Constitution of bis
eountrv, with a fixed determination to preK-rve,
protect and dofoud its provisions ns a faithful citi
cn, carl indorso the conclusion that slavery is
finally and forever settled. It is kindly but er
roneously asserted by seine ' That it has uot been
leirallv abolished, but is ;;icticlly disposed of:
therefore it. agitation should ccac.' Accepting
this as the iutrinsio conditions surroundiiij; the
subject, no better reason can be Imagined pleading
the necessity ol investigation. Ao tpiet, peace
loving citizen will tvni.iop.lv agitato pointless and
obsolete subjects. Hut he that will evade the res
pniir ihility of meeting those vita) issues upon which
the perpetuity of republican government and con
stitutional liberty depend, becausp tho turbulent
stream of pub.lie clamor is sitting in against them,
even If aided by the overawing outlawry of "mili
tary ootuuiissions,- dofervc moro tho namo and
fato of a slave that) tin American freeman.
But for tho corrupt nud cowardly truckling of
the leaders that mould and control public senti
ment, wo should not have beheld our country
writhing ia agony, the Constitution torn aud
trampled down und left a prostrate and bleeding
victim in the bloody clutches of a rucrcilcss des
potism. Our lust aud ouly hope ia an apjienl to
the people, the original source of all power in free
governments, ttt heal tho festering wounds of our
afflicted country, by npplying the sovereign panacea
of State Kigbts enveloped in tho old Constitution
of tho Republic. .
If the subject of slavery or any other has been
effectually settled by tho constitutional operation
of the law, we should cheerfully abide by and sup
port its decisions ; but if it has not been thus dis
posed of, we arc under no obligation to respect its
decree, for if it contrarenes tho Constitution it is
no law at all, but usurpation, and if we nro true to
the principles that create and perpetuate free gov
ernment, we will resist it by all tap ifleivns placed
io our hands by that instrument..
From the unanimity of opinion that peryades
tho publio mind to accept the present disposition
of slavery without protest, it seems imminently por
tentous and excites startling apprehensions that
tha American people have lost the vigor of their
ancestors, and are no longer capable of self-government.
It is not the remotest thought of the
writer that they should exert the least effort to
farther extend that peculiar institution, only so
v far as a bold, manly mainladnanco of the Constitn-
tion, upon which the harmony of equal rights and
: public order rest, might effect its destiny.. It can
5 hardly be questioned that the power employed toi
pset sinverv was unconstitutional ana nau no
authority in law. The astounding Emancipation
Proclamation of the bite President, which was driven
as the entering -wedge to burst the heart of Its at
tachments, has but few friends to-day who will
attempt to clothe it with a more dignified garb
than a naked arbitrary stretch of Executive power.

tho organ of one hranch of tho Aholition

the doctrine of State Rights a " dangerous
heresy." What is it but this rcry doctrine
which the Appeal asserts in regard to Negro
Suffrage? They will discover, the more
they undertake to practicably apply even

there can bo no actual Statehood, no domes
