A FEW WORDS TO YOlXGMEX.
We are all on the tlireshhold of a
new year. It is a fitting time to make
ijood resolves. Whatever is wronij
we should resolve to avoid; whatev
er is right we should strive to pur
sue.
All the ijreat interests of the world
are soon to pass into the hands of the
young. 1 hey who now possess the
property, and fill the offices of the
land, will soon pass away. Whatev
er there is that is valuable in liberty,
science, art, or religion, will pass into
the hands of those who are now
young. They will preside in the sein"
inaries of learning; will sit down on
the benches of justice; will fill the
vacated seats of senators ; will occu
py the pulpits in the churches; will
be entrusted with all the offices of
honor and emolument ; will be am
bassadors to foreign courts ; and will
-dispense the charities of the land, and
carry out and complete the designs of
Christian benevolence. There is not
.an interest of liberty, law or religion,
which will not toon be committed to
the young men of our land. How ex
ceedingly important, then, that they
be properly trained and confirmed in
every good word and work for the
.great duties w hich will soon be de
volved upon them !
The question of temperance figures
very largely in a proper estimate of
character. With reference to his hab
its on this point, every yOung man is
vatched with an eagle eye, and his
-character is well understood, when
perhaps he least suspects it The
public cannot be deceived on this
point and every young man may be
assured that there is an eye of un
Blumbering vigilance upon him.
There are certain evils which a
young man will certainly avoid by a
course of strict temperance.1 1. Pover
ty, as arising from this source. lie
may, indeed, be poor if he is temper
.ate. He may lose his health, or meet
-with losses, or may be unsuccessful in
business, but he is certain that he w ill
never be made poor from internper
-am;e. ine-ienxhs ot the poverty in
community is caused by this vice ;
nine-tenths of all who are in alms
houses are sent there as the result of
it, but from all this he will be certain
that he will be saved. If a man is
jpoor, there is a great difference be
""-c" uciul; bui.ii as lae result oi a
Joss of health, or other Providential
-dispensations, and being such as the
result of intemperance. 2. He will
be saved from committing crime from
this cause. About nine-tenths of the
crimes committed are the results of
intoxicajting drinksand by a course
of temperance a man is certain that
lie will be saved from the commission
of all those crimes. Yet, if not tem-
perate, no man lias any security that
.he will not commit any one of them-
There is nothing in iiimself to gave
"Jura iromitlie very worst of them ; and
Kjvery young man who indulges in the
intoxicating cup, should reflect that
he has no security that he will not be
led on to commit . the ; most horrid
.crimes which ever disgrace humanity.
2. He will certainly be saved from a
drunkard's death. He will indeed
die. .He may die young; for though
temperate, he may be' cut - down in
the vigor of his days. But there is
all tho difference imaginable' between
dying as a drunkard, ;and dying . in
the ordinary course of. nature.
The good -efferts of a coari.e.of tem
mm
perance will be seen in the beauty,
and lrcalthfulness, and vigor of the
bodily frame ; in the clearness of the
intellect Mid purity of the heart ; in
hbits of industry, in general integri
ty of life, and in rendering it more
probable that the immortal soul will
bo saved. In no respect whatever
will a steadfast adherence to the prin
ciples of temperance injure any young
man; in every respect it may be tho
means of promoting his interests in
the present life, and of securing his fi
nal happiness in tho future world.
Why, then, should any young man
hesitate about forming a determined
purpose to adhere through life to the
strictest principles of temperance?
(J ex. Grant. Somo of the Radicals
are trying quite hard to create some
enthusiasm in favor of Grant. Al
ready be is supported for President by
several Radical papers -in Oregon.
We trust he may be nominated by the
Mongrel Convention, and then we
hope the Democratic Convention will
nominate some statesman like Horatio
Seymour, of Xew York, or Pendleton
of Ohio. If this shall be done, Grant
will suffer a more more mortifying de
feat than Napoleon did at Waterloo.
His reticence will avail him nothing.
Grant forcibly reminds us of the man,
with two wives, in -Kops fables;
which is as follows :
In days when a man was allowed more wives
than one, a middle-aged bachelor, who could bo
called neither young uor old, and whoe hair w
ouly just beginning to turu gray, must needs
falfin love with two wouicu at once, and marry
them both. The ouo was young and Mounting,
and wished her husband to appear as youtbiul as
herself.' The other was somewhat more advanced
iuagc, and was as. anxious that her huxband should
appear a suitable match for her. So, while the
young one seized every opportunity of pulliug out
the good man's gray hair, the old one was as ia-
dutricu in plucking out crvry Mack hair sho
could tiud. tor a wane the man was uiguly grati
fied by their attention and devoticn, till ho found
one morning between the one and the ether he had
not a Lair left. .
He that submits Lis principles to the influence
and caprices of uposito parties will end in having
no principles at all.
If Grant does not soon divorce one
or the other of his party wives, lie
will not have a political hair left in
the next twelvemonth.
Insnre that every man who has a vote shall have
a newspaper, and all Is &fc fur 1SCS. Shall it be
done ? Examiner.
This is what should be, but we must first teach
all the electors to read. Of what ue would an
Apical tr Examiner be iu the hinds of a large
percentage of Democratic rotcrs ? JlaryidlU Aj-
jteul.
This thing of charging that "a largo
percentage of" Democrats cannot
read, and that therefore they are not
properly qualified to vote, comes with
an exceedingly bad grace from the
Appeal, considering that the editor
advocates the enfranchisement of the
stupid, boorish, ignorant negroes of
the South, not one in a hundred of
whom cau read, and scores of whom
scarcely have sense enough to tell
their right hand from their left. In
the Appcad estimation such people
can govern, not only themselves, but
the the whites of their section whom
Congress has disfranchised. There
may be wine Democrats who cannot
read; but the percentage is not great
er than it is amort" the Monirrels.-
When the Mongrel party claims all
the decency, and all the morality) and
all the education of the country, they
only exhibit their inherent meanness
and knavery in a new aspect.
I utoxx CATEBvEniTo us. The Un ion
Ut says that a Democratic editor was
recently "so deplorably drunk that he
could hardly hold up his head or kecj
down the rebellious substances which
he had lately devoured,' and the Un
ion advises ns to elevate our "own
debased political associates."
We do not deny that sme Demo
crdtic editors drink alcoholic liquors
to excess; and no one can regret
more than we do. Iiut it strikes us
that this charge comes with a very
bad grace from the editor of the Un
ionist. If the universal testimony
from California may . be believed, he
himself v as in the habit, while there
of getting so drunk that he could not
"hold up his head;" and though he
occasionally abstained for a season,
yet he invariably, like adog, "returned
to his vomit" again. .We might also
show that he is not the only Mongrel
editor who gets gloriously drunk ev
ery week ; and that he himself has
"debased political associates." He is
a nice fellow to talk of "God-and-Morality,"
isn't he?

Hrnr.'s tub Pitoor. Our neighbor of tho Drm-
prrut denies that the Courts have repeatedly dtoi
dod that national butidt cannot v taxed, aud
deinando prof of the same. As we intend to done
htm moderntely with legal leou at the statt, we
ball refv-r him at this time to the following casoi
Weston et al. v. The City Council tf Charleston
2 Peters, U'i. When he digeits that well, we'll
set hint reading the decisions down to lRrt2-tbe
last by that arch-traitor Tat-ey..tUxiHy Journal,
We supposed this would be tho way
you would prove your position, w c
do not want mere references to cases
which you suppose decides in your fa
vor; but what we want, and what we
have a right to demand in this case is
the exact language of Decisions from
the Supreme Court, proving that na
tional bonds cannot be taxed. Give
us tho book, page and language. It
can't be done. We arc no lawyer by
profession, but we know enough
about law to know that your position
cannot be proved. The proof the
proof put your finger on the proof,
neighbor.
Lrxctujs's 1!tatk. The adminis
trator of the estate of Lincoln has
made a final settlement thereof; and
alter paying all debts against it, there
remained $110,291,82; which, divided
among the widow and heirs, gives
30,705,30 to Mrs. Lincoln, and the
same amount to Hob and Tad Lin
coln.
Senator McDougall, in a public
speech we heard him make in Illinois
in Ib04, stated on his responsibility
as a Senator, that he knew the Lin
coln family to be millionaire. Thev
had become such by sharing in the
profits of fat Government contracts.
Confiscation. The Government of
the United States has enforced agaiust
the Southern people the most stupen
dous act of confiscation that ha ever
been enforced in the history of na
tions. Their property in slaves has
been confiscated to the amount of
three billion dollars; other personal
property iu the shape of cotton, pro
visions, stock, plate aud money, has
been captured or destroyed to the val
ue of one billion, of dollars ; and from
these causes their land has deteriora
ted to the extent of another billion of
dollars making in the aggregate the
enormous sum of five billions of dol
lars. It is no wonder that the widows
and orphans of the South, many of
them, have suffered for want of food.
Notwithstanding their suffering and
poverty-stricken condition, Radical
hate is not yet satisfied.
The Tkst Oath. It will be remem
bered that Francis P. Illalr, jr., was
not permitted to vote because he re
fused to take the test oath. lie ap
pealed to the Missouri Supreme Court,
and that tribunal declared the test
oath unconstitutional, thus sustaining
Blair. Whenever and whatever tho
measures of the mongrels are fairly
brought to the test of law the decis
ion is against them.
, SSP'ot having seen our neighbor
of 'the Journal, on the streets, for
some days past, we inquired what was
the matter ; and we learned that he
had been brought to bed in conse
quence of a speech of which ho was
delivered last Monday evening. The
parturient throes proved too much for
him. We learn that the patient is as
well as could be expected. It Was a
hermaphrodite. . , ;
A Faiq Hit at Greeley. Prentice,
of the Louisville Journal, deals the fol
lowing 'square" blow at Greeley's verac
ity or rather his lack of it; ; . f ...... ,
: Greeley says, that, "for , good i square
lying," he must "givfe the palm to the
address of : the Democratic State Commit
tee of Minnesota." Ah, Greeley, we
know that the palm is yours to give or to
keep, but you had better hold fast to that
token of radical merit, for you are well
entitled to it entitled to it not only for
"good square lying," but for good round
lying, good triangular lying, and good ly
ing of every possible shape and form.
Bold on to your valued "palm .with the
palms of both your hands. , ;

After wishing you a "Happy New Year,"
I shall place at your disposal a communica
tion from Scio, a place which, I believe, has
been unnoticed and unsung, as fur as the
DeMocitAT is concerned. Then why not I
make myself tho pioneer in trying to bring
our city into duo, notoriety? j ,
' AVelli Scio Js situated' hi Weertain rich
portion of Linn county, commonly known ns
"Canada," bui properly speaking it la in
"the forks of the feantiaui.' Its distance
from Salem is twenty miles, in a southern
direction. From Albany it is cast fifteen
miles. It is surrounded by a largo and fer
tile country, thickly populuted with un indus
trious people, und famuus for its fat horses,
big apples and pretty girls. Scio is
working smoothly, I might say beautifully,
under a charter granted ut tho lawt session of
tho legislature, and is therefore a , which
fact brings about a pleasant sensation to all
us wretches who were, in time past, so tor
mented by hogs, drunken men and other like
nuisances. It is worthy of place to sayjust
here, that none of these things infest the
place under the present administration" of
city laws.
In the way of business wc ncknowlc jgp sec
ond to no rlucc of tho same size in the Stote
Scio, polling from forty to fifty votes, sup
ports live dry goods aud grocery stores, two
hotels, one carpenter shop, one cabinet shop,
ono drug store, two wagon shops, four black-
smith shops ; and, in fact, too many marks
of business und enterprise to bo mentioned
at once which 1 will continue in my next.
As regards religion, we have that of al
most every belief entertained by civilized
nations, all working harmoniously in the
one capacious house, each denomination oc
cupying its regular turn.
Excuse me, Mr. Editor, but 1 muU tell the

But 1 must again to the test ; We have a
plendid scho-d house, at which place cati
constantly be heard (not in school hours)
tho jokes and merry laughter of sweet las-
es and promising young men. The school
number near eighty students, 'governed"
y a sprig of tbu literati late from the
vast," together w ith his assistant a young
lady who was once a student in your own
city of Albany. Both are competent teach

suited for instructors of the youi g.

It is tho cscpnse of rebellion;' against

yesterday, and tve learn from ?him that
he will soon - effect some changes; in the
schedule timo of the mail routes through
Polk and Yamhill counties. He has pow
er to mako'such arrangements, but not to
create any new route, nor can the Post
master General authorize a mail route
oer a road not created a mail 'route by
act of Congress. Ho has taken the in
itiatory steps-tb have routes established
from' Albany to Brownsville, -and also to'

in Clackamas county, by way of WaoondaJ
and St. Louis to Fairfield, on the Willam
ette. -!1 He is urged to i remove' the : post
office from Condit to' Aumsville, in " this
county; and as soon as he definitely learns
that such a course will be . acceptable to
the great majority of the peoplo to be ac

AlBANYOn a recent visit lo this
place, we found business gomcwhat dull,
on account of the Reason and the! ificlcni
cntlwcther, though from its favorable
location the town and country trade is al
ways considerable, 1'here is no city in
tho Stato backed up. by no extensive and
productive a farming'region' as Albany!
Salem, as a headquarters for learning and
tho Stafo Government, has many central
ized advantages, and a large trade from
two counties, but it is no dispartcmrfy
to our placo which must always possess,
with the added force .ofitaagricultural
and manufacturing,, the position of the
second town in this State to bVn that
Albany is a point of nearly equal advan
tages and importance. The two lumber
mills are kept busy to supply materials
for its growth ; the two - flouring. mill,
with a capacity to turn out 800 barrels of
flour caeh twenty-four hours add to lt
commercial importance, and it needs but
tho impulne that railroad communication
can give to the State at large to make
this enterprising .town . loom up.ps a
city-of large population and wealth.- -'
The Magnolia Mills, Mr. Foster says,
have been stopped for two weeks past
by high I water ? running night and day,
these mills easily turn out 800 bar re h
of flour, s average . work, each weefc.-rr
They have shipped 4,000 barrels of flour
since harvest, iu addition to the amount
sold for home nupply and the externa ve
custom work done.
The Albany ilills, Messrs. Beach &
Monteith, arc run by uteaui power, and
so are independent of any common flood.
These mills' have shipped (1000 'bar
rels of flour since harvest, besides that
used at-home and exchanged for wheat
as they do no custom work. These mills
seem to be admirably and conveniently
arranged, and arc being worked only
about eleven hours per day. Tens of
thousands of buMiels of wheat have been
shipped .this Fall, : , ' j A
Educational matters are being well
attended to. Albany has good schools
and, a handsome college building, where
instruction is gfen in the higher branches
It has the handsomest public structure
in its Court House, to be Jound out
side of Portland in this State, and with
its Church edifices, business blocks and
many elegant private residences, it ; di
versifies one of the most lovely plains the
world knows ; is nrronnded by snowy
ranges, and bordered by the beautiful
river.
One who has watched for a score of
years the growth of oDr.Htatc, can autt
etpate the beauty and prosperity of its
iuture with opfecial pnie and jatisuc-
tioo. There is nothing to mar the pros
perity anticipated for all the Willamette
towns, and we hope, as opportunities
offer, to viiflt the different sections, and
personally witness the prosperity- of each.
