Before the late Civil War thero were four aa-iUion of . slaves in tbo Southern Sratej, r representing a capital of about ilhrec .billions of dolhrs.

The "s!av3 aristocracy" is dead -keypad the .hope of resurrection. But all the aristocrats are not yet dead. "The war through whicu we have passed, created a worse aristocracy than ever ex isted in the South. An aristocracy based on $3,000,000,000 of National securities 5has b;en created in the Northern States, and they wield unbounded political influ ence already, and as time flics, this influ ence and power will become fearfully aug- xaented.

The three billions of property, in the form ot negro slaves, wa3 a source of much rev--aentiB to ihe government. The "slave aristocracy," instead of being drones in stead of sacking the life-blood, vampire like, out of the 'cation, did their part in defraying the-expenses of a common Gov- ernmont; but this bended aristocracy of 'the north roll in luxurious ease and bid defiat.ce to the fudffral'taxgatberer. They toil not, neither ilo' thy spin. The labor ing millions bear their own 'burdens and uhose also ot the bond aristocracy. No good reason can be given why this -date of things should continue. The government of Kogland -has alwys-here-tofore 'been regarded" as ?the most rax- -devoxiring on earth; but our government ost3 more per capita to our "people than Tthat of monarchical England. Can it 'be 'possible that the people those onhom -our unparalleled public debt 'Chiefly 'rests will much longer quietly submit to be "taxed to upheld these 'bondocrats in idle Aness? Vhy n6t' tax their bonds ? Were tbey taxed like all other property, the liurdf n of taxation would be lightened at ieast one-third ; or, if not, the annual in come of the Government would be one- third greater than it is at present; and .our public debt would be extinguished "Years sooner than it -will be under Exist ing .laws.

It is for them, there fore, rather than for our Oregon readers, wo state a few facts relativo to Oregon. It rarely ever thunders in Oregon, and of .course it is very seldom that vwe fee lightning.

And we can pay df it wbatetf nnot be said, we believe, of ahy oiher, 'vfz : it never fails to produce a 'fair erop. Crops, in portions if California, three years ago, were cut off by the drouth ; but not so with Oregon. It never fails to reward the husbandman. Besides all this, such a thing as the rust in wheat is not known here, nor indeed any other enemy of the cereals.

Not a bit of it., -As Antob said lirutus'was an -honorable ''man, wc say the abolition party is an hottest . political organisation. ; Jjpt faefs s'p'cak'for Uiciiiselvcs.' When aboli tion was first proclaimed, 'its cha,nip:ons said slavery was an evil and ought to be abolished j but the owners should receive pay for their property. 1 his was the po sition taken by the British abolitionists in dealing witlf the institution in tho West Indies, and New England professed to be no less honest than" Old England, while treading in tho footsteps of her folly . But abolition took a stride onward and demanded the liberation ' of the slaves without paying a dollar. Their philan- 2 tlropy didn't reach their pockets. Deiao cra s then said that if abolitionism sue ceed.d, they, would next demand negro equality j political rights and social priv ileges for the black. But this wti pio nounced false and s!anderous. The parjr Slid its friends would never aik nor fa- vcr such a thing all they sought was 'to strike the shackles fiom the limbs of th's pcor slave." In the course of years they grew strong enough to elect a President--' the lamented Abe and now, soercat was slavery where it existed; all the party then claimed was fhat the institution should not spread into the territories, A ? short time afterwards General . John Charles Fremont, carried away by abo lition enthusiasm, or the hope of. still , , further robbing both Governments and people, issued a proclamation declaring, all negroes free within the lines of the rcapral afufy. 'Butrlionest Old Abe said this was wrong1, unconstitutional, and in bad faith; therefore he suspended John Charlelrnot tv iho neck, as he honld fchave been, but from his command. Yet, a short time afterwards, Fremont was re in Stated ft rfd Utilftrv l.imoa frtaAmn whenever they got beneath the protect ing sTiadow of the Star-Spangled Banner. And subsequently the famonj for infa. roous) KmapcipatioB rroclamatton was Bum, luiui vy me lDituoriai ADC, InCman who ha a declared he bad no right f nor wish to interfere with slavery, and. who punished Fremont for presuming to do so. Again, how honest was the course of the party in the late war. They took the ground that a State couldn't secede; thai ordinances of secession were null aod 2t no effect; that the Union was indivisibh. Thev waged the war to save the Union, holding the Southern Statu 'to be -still members of itind, as thelr'Corrg'fessioo Jl resolution declared,: with 'ho purpewe of conquest or subjugation, 'b'ut solely to en force the laws 'and make tbe'rn observe their allegiance - to the Federal Govern? mcnt. When the revolution was crushed and the South laid dpwn her arms, the abolition party discovered that the South ern States wore actually out of the Union", That hyprovidiog they would not adopt the Constitutional A mendment. If fii? wag acceded to they were States in the Union; if not, they were cut of it.. Ucwjheygot out whether by virtt;c of the ordinance of secession or the the .force arms b never been explained. As the Statif would nqt accent the aforesaid amendmei t the pap-7 in powerwhich had waged mj for tho Vhln. declared they were ntt StaUis -'stv.allb'ttt Wre JcfriUrial depend, encies. . (Then, again, the neiros whdm it was oulj intended to free from slavery they new cVc'are cnti'J d to alfr'ghts and privileges of citifjeniship. These facts Sf hibit in a strong light the honesty and consistency of the abolition party. So noma ucmocrat. , , BaRn'Pm, the Great Iujnbjg, sncccsir fully ehiiated the people for a number cf years, but they got even on bins at hit - by electing htm to stay at home. He was the Kadical candidate for Congress i,i Connecticut at the late clcctiop, and run lar behind his ticket.
