STATU HHJUTS lOOWAT. mati iti v..si.rTFiiii:it a. mii aiioi t vt:ato ni ri ii twi ll appeal's that our Abolition ootempn rnr.cs who, a tow months ago, woro ho fond of jeating about NYgro Suffrage.' have all at ouw growu very tender-looted ami become greatly exorcised upou that subject. The Oivgouian soys: We think the Copperheads 'aunt desire ileum Mii'Vago, judging from the ooimtnnt talk ntioii it. If no, they are taking- the very plan to gtt it. If Uo'V realty do not want it, they had l etter he silent. We houhl really like to ho informed jttt what it is the Oregonian intends to eonvey hy the above language. " Cop perheads' certainly have tdiown their an tipathy to Negro Suffrage in all the thy f the .Uepuhlie for Copperhead it but the preu'itt name Iy which Abolitionist)) call a Democrat On tho other ban-!, it U the Abolition party which favors Negro Suffrage, and hat at all times ehaniphWd that measure. Several Abolition State. have inaugurated Negro Suffrage; 11 or ace I'iveley, llobcrt Pale Owen, Henry Winter lhms. Senators Sumner, Wilson. IVinoroy, Wilkiimui, Wade, Chandler. Chief .luatiet Cham, and a lnst of other Abolition digiiilaric.- and. leaders, have all proclaimed their desire to e -:ul it throughout the whole Union. 1 it uot plain, then, that it is not the Democrat., tut the Abolitionists who want it? IK not tho O.vgmiau know this fact? Hut what does it mean by saying that Copperhead, in constantly talking about Negro Suffrage, ore taking tho " very plan to get it," we should like to know ? Pees it mean that the Abolition parly i not in favor of that tueanure simply for itself, bnt only as a moan to vex or pun iH Democrat a f tliat if we keep our mouths closed, tliey will not put it upon us? 1 it an injiu tioti, then, and not a roJ thijf. i r ? The Abolition party sot up peculiar claims to "M tho party of the people, which legislates only for the benefit of the country at large. If lion ct in this, they w ill legitdate upon Negro Suffrage to the same end, and pass it or , ,' I,, -.i, ,v ,t , not simply with a view to tlio greater I .1 r ,t i,t :r I pood of the whole country. Hut if they pass it lucrcly because Copperheads tnlk about it, will there not be substantial reason to talicve that they act from tdieor ppite and in pure uialiciousuess tfrainst democrats, and not from motives of pub lic weal, or with a desire to 44 d tardy justice to a Ions; oppresed race J" The Oregonian, like all of its cotempo raries aad party brethren, is fearfully perplexetl over this subject. This is ap parvnt to every one. The fact is. they have "iiigvr on tho braia" so lamenta hly as not to he very fane or consistent in their treatment of Xejrro Suffrage or any other analagous ftiestion. They have packed their ebony idol until not only their fctrenprth has lieconic exhausted under the incubus, hv. their wits are . uearly departed and yet he sits com posed, grinuing and chuckling, but merciles!? and nnyieldinr. To carry him farther will prostrate them; to throw him off w ill leavo them without capital to fur ther pull tho populace. Siamese twins in life, they cannot be sundered only with death to both. Negro Eng will cling to Abolition Chang to the last gasp, and then fall a victim himself to the destroy ing influence of contamination with the sarca.se to which he is indissolubly bound. Tho Abolitionists shouldered Sambo to - till off Democracy. Like the horse in the fable which called the man to his back to help him kill the before too for midable lion, the Abolition party put Sambo on its back, to overcome Democ racy. The analogy ftomcwhat ceases here. Abolitionism, with Sambo mounted, made its furious tilt at .the Democracy,, and ' the Lttcr fell prostrate before the first rough shock. Hut it was not killed. It has revived, recovered, and is again ready for the coatest, armed at all points, in vincible in its array. Meantime Sambo, bavin? discovered the good service he can put bis creature to, is resolved that it shall bear him to the last. And more over, the cunning black has further dis covered that.it was for no ultimate bene fit to himself, but from a purely selfish motive the Abolition Beast called him to its back in the fight against Democracy. That noble lion never sought harm or in jury to him--it simply wished - him to continue in the sphere wherein Omnipo tence had placed him. Democracy was not hi3 enemy, but his truest friend. It sheltered, fed, clad, and humanely "pro tected him in all of his wisely ordained rights. Abolitionism professed great re gard and love for him ; it led him from kind protectors, from a land of plenty and his sphere of contentment, and turned mm loose in deserts itself had made ; it left him without means, without prepara tion, to beg or starve or die j it put over him masters more inhuman than the cru dest, he had ever encountered, who worked him to exhaustion ; and when he bad &llen, through want, hunger, and disease, they left him to die like a brute in the mire ; it told him be was 41 a man and a brother," and then treated him like a dog and an outcast. Sambo has painfully learned all this, and now, sit ting astride his hypocritical Beast, he rides it to the encounter with Democracy almost indifferent to its fate, but quite conscious that hjs own has been terribly perilled by tout association with it. We entertain no doubt that the Abo- lithuiista uro wrt1y chiilVtl at the " tutk about" Nogro Suffrage m tin tmrt of Democrats, in this Slate. It i a subject they would like to dodge. To favor or op pone it will hopelessly break, them down. Their only salvation m to: keep silent upon it, to ignore it if they can. Or, if it mint be met, they would have the fatal day for heidoeisioii upon it ptit off to the last. Hut Democrats sire determined to press them to a eoneluniou upon it, ami they will not permit Aboli tionists to remain silent in the mutter. The leaders and aspirants for State offi ces in that parly will have to come out tlat footed and squarely, and say whether thev are or not in favor of it. They are the tjnaeks who proffered the noxious I nostrum to the people; they must -now swallow the vile mixture themselves. It will purely kill them politically, but it will 'thus prove f incalculable benefit to the State, by aiding to restore to rt a sound Democratic Administration. Tli NiiirrNl lUntl. Nothing has yet tuanspired in refer ence to the restoration of the Daily Over land Mail. The people of "Oregon hnve now been deprived of mail communica tion through and uloiig the main high way of the State, from Jacksonville to Portland, for nearly three weeks. No steps have been taken, so far as we are aware, by those in power, to restore mail facilities. Mail communication is being exteuded to even the States South; but; Oregon is deprived oJ' it. The reason the authorities at Washington have for this "wrong and outrage upon the rights of this people may be conjectured. Ore gon tas ceased to bean AbolUirn State. A a punishment for her return to IKj mocraey she is deprived of the Daily Mail. Very well, her citizens will re meinber this wrong and outrage, in June next. It is gratifying to know, that while our State Kxeoutive and alt the Aboli tion officials, whose remonstrance against this mail deprivation, ami whose petition !for the restoration of the Daily Mail, ouht to avail with the men in power at Washintrton, have taken no measures in shintrton, have taken no measures iui t. the matter, the t. hambcr of ( oinnierce of inn miivi-i'i nn . v. i ii iv I ivm ii ill fivfi.Iil . . . . . ot Uregoti. At a meeting ol that body, iSept. 11th, the following resolutions were adopted : y.V.vf, That the Chnn.lxrof Cimuuis of San Francis view with serious concern the notion of the PostolTnu Department in nhrogating the daily service on the Overland Oregon mail route from Lincoln, t'al., to Portland. Oregon, wlwrehy the etttir! pop ulation of the Northern jKirtion of the Slate, and of Orejjnn, are deprived of mail facilities of every kind. I'extdrrd, That a Daily Overland Mail he tween Lincoln, Cal., anil Portland, Oregon, is essential to tho development of the coin- moroe of tin tor Stnta of all torn lit Riot Oregon, and that it is to tie hoped that the Post master (icnerat will immediately take utcps to restore said daily services. Resmired, That the Secretary be instruct ed to forward a copy of these resolutions to the Postoilice liepurtment, and to furnish a copy to each one of our Senators and Repre sentatives. AVc hope that the action of the Cham ber of Commerce may have the effect to induce the Senators and Representatives from California to interpose in the inter est of Oregon, and that, they may prevail upon the Postmaster General to restore wliat has been so wrongfully snatched from our people; but we are aware they will have to overcome not only the stub bornness of that high functionary, but also the antagonism of Senator Williams to the mail; and it is feared that in this they will not bcaided, but obstructed, hy Senator Nesraith and liepresentative Henderson. These men were .sent from Oregon as public servants to labor for he r benefit. Not one act of benefit or good have they, officially or unofficially, per- j formed ; but on the contrary, the former two, who have sat in Congress, have simply worked to her injury and disad vantage. Henderson takes his seat in Dccer-Vcr. So far he has had little op I .it unity to per form either good or evil. but that little seems to have been devoted to the accomplishment of all the harm it has been possible for him to inflict upon his State. Oregon is most vilely repre sented in Congress, and her people are most shamefully treated by the Adminis tration. Think ot no mail being attorueu to the people of a whole State ! Going axd Comixo. The Oregonian of Tuesday tells of families, with teams and many head of live stock, journeying from Portland to the country east of the Cascades, to seek farms and homes ; also of many freshly arrived emigrant families at Port land, on their way to this upper Valley, with the same intention. Fight with Indians. Captain Powell's company had a fight with a party of Indians, sixty miles from Camp Lyon, south of Fort Boise, lately. The Indians were routed. One soldier wound3d in the shoulder, is the only casualty reported. Teottixg. The roadsters Challenge and Boston went a match at the Portlind Course last Monday, mile heats, best two in three, to harness, for a purse of $500. Challenge won in two straight heats, in 3:17 ; 3:20. Accident. Chas. Warren of Portland was dangerously wounded . by a shot dis charged from the gun of a companion, with whom he was hunting near that city, a few days ago.

Yet, we are- glad to state also, that at the present time there are only one or two journals which engage in and continue the icious practice, (ienerally, nowadays, ojfposing papers discuss iMCslioiis lit i-sue with soinciliiiig like fairness, and with tho ppipcr cour tesy which should be observed in tho.ie whose occupation devolves upon them the discussion or treatment of public mai lers, with each other. It is with no small pride that we bear testimony to the e un tcsy ami good I'tcding with which the principal journalists of the Opposition ju this Stale have exchanged their -very an tagonistic views ami arguments with Doiii oeratie cotempoiMiies lately, and ve trust this course shall be adhered to by thorn, as it wjll be. we feel confident, on the part, of the Democratic pros?. It is cer tainly more gratifying to tho disputants themselves thus to encounter eaih other than to descend tobitter personal alone and vituperation, and so it is more pleasing and edifying to their readers. If uicii who conduct newspapers can respond to the arguments of a political adversary in no other way than by totally disregarding the subject at issue, and resnriing i scur rility and filthy calumnies of solely per sonal nature against his individual, purely jMsrsonal character or acts, his kin or kith, tlien are they entirely unworthy longer t continue at their stati"ii. Headers care more t be informed upon pnhjvcts of public interest than of the indit idnal characteristics, private transact intis, ijuar- Tels or wrali;rs, or Mioial nflairs, of editors even.

Most men who takvs papers iu Oregon have CitmUcs at home. They want the paper whifh comes to them of such a character Unit it can be read in the fam ily without' injury to the morals of any in that sanctuary, without eausinsi a bhfh to tinge the cheeks of their daughters. without corrupting tho healthful tone f their sons houie-breeding. They waut a paper which Viii present to them new lights and impart better information to all who constitute the household, in the subjects offered. If the views of an ad versary on this question or that are no ticed, they expect and have a right to find that, in their paper, fair couutcr viejys or arguments are presented, and that "the subject at issue is at least at tempted to Ik answered. If, on the con trary, they find no further attempt at re sponse except that which a blackguard would essay, they must beget a contempt ible opinion of the ability of the editor, as a writer, and also learn to despise him as a man. The party or Feet or faith which has only such men as its cham pions, must fall as they fall, into disgrace and contempt, in the course of time. A public which supports such a champion, and encourages him in such disreputable practices, has well-uigh descended into barbarism, and become lopt to the better, higher, nobler attributes of man's Clod given nature. Of what more consequence to the pub lic are the private matters of editors than of men in other occupations ? None what ever. The conductor of a paper has no more right to parade in his columns any thing pertaining to himself personally than he has to devote the paper to the mere personal affairs of other men. His patrons do not pay him so much per an num for a paper which shall tell fheni of himself, or his acts or grievances, as an individual. And for an editor to take advantage of his own columns to assail or malign the conduct or character of one who has not a paper at his command, is as cowardly and base an act as can be de scribed. If an editor's duty leads him to review or criticize the public conduct of a public man, let him do so, and do it with respect to his public career or be havior; but he ought never to drag in also acts or anything else which pertains to his subject solely as an individual. To do so is on a par with that most base thing which some resort to the publica tion of entirely private letters which may have passed when the parties were ex changing views and ideas with each other in perfectly friendly and confidential cor respondence. The petty larceny thief is a model of manly honor in comparison with the creature who does this. The editor who will indulge in this personal abuse and slander himself, or who yields his columns to others for that purpose, virtually places himself beyond the pale of respectable journalism, and merits neither the notice -nor considcra- lion til men in -newspaper business, imr of any decent citizen, lie is an outlaw gainst good morals, a biievnoicr on pri vate character, and a reproach ailike to the community in which 'he dwells, and tho occupation which he disTliri,Hi ,o conilcuiuntion which can Ih! couched in angmge is so iieep ainl l. tinning as that wh'ch (he wanton landorer of pr'vate tiharai ler deals nani.-'t li mi If in , H '. low woi'k of seeking to defame ale) injure the character of the person be assails.

He uiti sin in taking . to li'm-cll" a mulatto concubine, and in shamefully living with her. Iu d.rtigso, he violated both human and Divine law. His party never approved that part of his private conduct; it was his public worth Ut i i i i . i ,-i icy honored. l.nIai.d certainly did not coniuieiul lionl AImiii s intiiiiacy with Lady Hamilton; it was his distin-j guished merit as a sea chieftain fer which that country applauded- and '-rewarded' him. The present age, and our own country, offers man- similar acts of shame and sin in the lives of popular heroes and statesmen, too. Some of the great chieftains of tho Federal army iu the l ite civil war, and seeral of the conspic uous ' leaders of the Oregoitiaii's own party have, in like manner with Richard M. Johnson, sinned iu private life- It would lc unfair to charge upon their pro fession or their party this fin. Kqual'y unfair is it to charge the sin of Richard M. Johnson upon tho Democracy of his day, or of this period, or his Slate. But let the Oregonian bear one fact in mind: At that day, the laws of the State in w hich Vice President Johnson sinned, forbado marriages of whites to blacks. In this period, several of the Northern States, under Abolition rule, have by statute law permitted such marriages This is not a private evil, but a public shame, and not an individual is implicat ed, but the whole Abolition party is in volved in tho shame. If the Oregonian is shocked at Richard M. Johusou for having been "married toa black woman" (as it asserts), what has it to say about the members of its ow n party who passed laws permitting and legalizing the mar riage of whites to blacks ? If it views with disfavor the ' saffrouy progeny " of of that union, what docs it think of its party's conduct iu so legislating as to people the laud with more of the same sort 1 To be consistent, it ought to now claim the deceased Vice Presidcntas one of the great apostles of its partyf on ac count of that very " marriage," just as the party generally now have the shame less audacity to claim President Jackson as their own, because of his course to wards South Carolina in 1832. For the organ of a party to slander the memory of the dead statesman for having, as it charges, married a black woman, when it sees nothing wrong in laws passed to per mit similar marriages in Abolition States, is rather singular, to say the least. Our cotemporary has simply thrown a boom erang to hit Democrats, and had it come back on its own Boeotian head most ter ribly. Mechanics Institute.
