FOR P lESlDSNTIAL ELECTORS, S. P. C1IADWICK, of Douglas county. JOHN BUilNETT, of Benton county. JAS. II. SLATER, of Union county. TIXE PRESIDENT'S COSGBATU LATIOXS. The following dispatch was received at Salem, br Senator Nesmith, on Thursday the 4th instant: "Washington, June 3, 1868. ToIheJTon. J. W, Xesmith:. I ea.nestly congratulate you on the triumph of correct principles in Ore gon. --.Andrew Johnson. Good for President Johnson. He is coming round to his first love. He says the principles in issue, on the first of this month, in Oregon, are "cor rect," and he congratulates Senator Nesraith on their triumph. Hence he is in favor of taxing United States bonds; against negro suffrage; against negro equality ; against the negro bureau ; against the tyrannical Reconstruction policy of Congress; in favor of paying the principal of the public debt in greenbacks, except the 10-40 Bends, and in favor of a Tar iff for revenue instead of protection. These issues were more or less sharply defined during the canvass and were voted upon on the first instant John son says they are "correct" and ot course they receive his endorsement. But, says one, you must bea "John son man." Not a bit of it. We once took some stock in him; but he "went back" on the Democratic party just .when he should have stood firm; and we do not intend he shall have a chance to deceive us agaiu. And yet, in one sense we are a Johnsonite. As long as he advocates, enforces and de fends Democratic principles as long as he does what is right, he shall have our countenance and support. But he cannot have our aid as a candidate for the Presidency. In this senscwe are not, and expect never to be, a "John son man." P. S. Under date of June 8, Presi dent Johnson telegraphed to Mr. Da vidson, of Portland, as follows; I thank yoa fr the good iewi. Oregon hu done nobly and it III stand with the colnraa of Suites which in the approaching elections will re deem the nation from misrule and usurpation. Again we say good for Johnson, Oregon he "done nobly ;" and the States "will redeem the nation from misrule and usurpation." There is no doubt in our mind about it at all. The Radical party expect to carry the elections with Grant's popularity. They think the people want a military man; but never did a party make a more fatal mistake. The people are tired and sick of fuss, and feathers, and glittering stars, and all that sort of tomfoolery. They want sound, clear headed statesmen, and they are going to have them, to- Chase, or men of his stamp would have polled a heavier Radical vote than will be cast for Gen. Crrant. CAUSES OF DEFEAT. The leaders of the Radical party of Oregon, perfectly astonished and be wildered at the result of the late elec tion, are busily engaged in assigning causes for the calamities 'which have overtaken them and their party. One aliedges great frauds; another thinks Logan is solely, to blame; another Relieves not only that frauds were perpetrated, but that many "Union men " were deceived; that they were made to believe that the Democratic party are now, and have been, "for the Union ;" and that thus many Rad icals were hoodwinked and induced to yote the Democratic ticket. ' Now, the truth is, they have none of them given the correct solution. The true cause is to be found ' in the fact that many, who, for some years past have ac ted and voted with the Radical party, have become convinced that that party is wrong, corrupt and rotten ; and they are fleeing from it like Lot fron Sodom and Gomorrah, .and are taki ng refuge in the Demo cratic party. Hundreds and thousands, not only in Oregon, but . throughout the entire land, are turning, with loathing and disgust; from the Radi cal ranks and casting in their lot with the good, oil Democratic party that party under; whose' auspices our peo ple grew frcm a mere handful to one of the most powerful nations' on ' the globe; that party who never once oppressed a citizen, and who never vi olated the provisions of the Constitu tion. Many, who have heretofore act ed with the Radical party, are against taxing the -uhite man to support lazy worthless negroes in. idleness; they are against taxing the laboring man to uphold - bondholders ; ; they are against ne-jro sum-age and negro equality; aid they very naturally a ly themselves to the Democratic par. ty and forsako a party advocating such odious and disgusting dogmas. These are some of the causes of the defeat of the Radicals in Oregon ; and which will defeat them throughout the entire country next November. HOW THE MINISTERS VOTED. We would bo the last man cause lessly and needlessly to do anything to weaken or , impair , the , influence which ministers of the gospel exert over tho people. ? But when they do wrong when they are guilt of glar ing inconsistencies-when they preach one thing and practico another they should bo rebuked. On more thanono occasion we have had members of the white-cravat or der censure us for advocating the elec tion of men to important offices whoso private character was not what it should be; and yet, in all our life, we have never supported a man whose private habits are so vile, and low, and dirty, as are those of David Logan, j He has been a most notorious debau chee and inebriate perpetrating acts of indecency, and profanity, and blas phemy too outrageous for publication. His character in this regard is well known to everybody, not excepting tho ministers of the gospel. They are perfectly cognizant of his profani ty, and blasphemy, and obscenity and habits of inebriation. And yet, al most without exception, they marched up to the polls and voted for him, and exerted their influence to have others do likewise. It is sometimes said that they vote for such a man as a choice of evils that his opponent is no tet ter. But in the case under considera tion this plea will not avail. Every body who knows Joseph S. Smith even his bitterest enemies concede that his private character is singular ly pure and spotless that he is a dignified, unostentatious Christian gentleman. This is conceded by those ministers who voted against him and in favor of Logan. It will doubtless be replied that they voted for Logan in order to up hold certain political principles. Well: what are they? Nigger Suf frage, Nigger Equality legal, politi cal and social the tyrannical Recon struction measures of Congress the Impeachment of the President in violation of all decency, and pre cedent, and law; the quartering of legions of armed soldiery on the South; the nigger Bureau an in stitution enforced at the point of the bayonet, and which sustains and en- a turages niggers in idleness with money wrung irom tne lianas oi the white laborers of the North and West ; corruption and fraud in every department of Government; against taxation of U. S. Bonds, and hence in favor of a privileged aristocracy ,- in favor of the laboring millions bear ing the burdens of the opulent and wealthy ; and in favor of a high pro tective tariff for the especial benefit of the New England manufacturer, instead of simply a tariff for revenue. Such are some of the principles and measures for which these ministers voted when they cast their vote it Losran. It will be a Ions time ere these votes will bo forgotten; a long time ere these ministers rid themselves of the stink by which they are now enveloped. ELECTION RETURNS. As the official returns have not yet reached us, we shall rest content this week. with the statement of a few prominent facts. It is now quite certain that Smith's majority over Logan will be twelve to fifteen hundred. Strahn is elected Prosecuting At torney in the 2nd District. Also it is reported that Col. Kelsay is elected Judge by a small majority. Gibbs is elected Prosecuting At torney by one majority 1 We believe Judge Powell is elected Pros. Attorney over Curl by a ma jority of about fifteen. It is better to be born lucky than rich. THE RAILROAD. Salem, June 11, 1868. JIr. AlboU . Drown. , ' The meeting of the Board of Di rectors of the Railroad Co., which has been held this week in this city, end ed its business at a late hour last night. : .. . . . Among the important business trans actions particularly interesting to Linn county, was the locating of a main trunk, certain, through the county, without designating any particular route, or points to be touched. - .

AND V GRAND TORCH-LIGHT PROCESSION I AT ALBANY I ON SATURDAY EVE., JUNE 0. 1,500 PERSONS ATTENDANCE! Last Saturday evening the Democ racy of Linn county gathered in large numbers, in Albany, for tho purpose of celebrating tho glorious victory which has been achieved by the Dem ocracy of Oregon. Largo delegations wero hero from all tho prominent points in tho county. Soon after sundown tho Albany Brass Band executed several martial and patriotic airs, amid the thunders and reverberations of a brisk fat de jote ; ana large crowus oi citizens, oi all sexes, ages and conditions, gath ered in front of the Court House and congratulated each other upon tho great Democratic victory which has ust been won in our noble State. The sending up of a sky-rocket was the signal for the commencement of active operations. Under tho direc- ions of Marshal Vining and his effi cient aids, the crowd was organized orch-lights and transparencies were ignited and the procession, headed by tho Band, speakers, fcc, marched through several of our principal streets, finally rendezvousing at tho place whence they started. Following are some of the inscriptions, mottoes, &c.f on the transparencies : "The Constitution and Union of our Fathers; The Democracy : A lure defense of the People's Right's;' " Liberty and Law;" Our Whole Country ;" "Truth crushed to earth will rwe Again ;" " Logan Dead In the Third Ditch M Tax U.

It was the intention of those having the demonstration in charge, that the speaking should take place in the Court House; but finding it would not hold one-fifth of those in attend ance, it was subsequently arranged that the speakers should hold forth in the open air in a wagon in front of the Court House. Short speeches were then made by Messrs. Cranor, Jones, Conser, Whitney, Helm and Stone ; and about 10 o'clock the crowds dispersed. It is frequently and persistently charged by the Radicals that Demo crats always get gloriously drunk and boisterous on such occasions ; but it anords us much satislactiou to say that there was not an intoxicated per son to be seen on the grounds. Ev erything passed off pleasantly and in order. A party who awea by such men as Logan, and Yates, and Grant -men whom their friends dare not deny are most inveterate drunkards had better cease peddling such slan ders and falsehoods against the Demo cratic party. , Cottage Cake.- One cup butter, three cups of sugar, two cups of sweet milk, one quart of . flour mixed with four teaspoon ful3 of cream ; of tartar, two tea- spoonfuls of soda dissolved in tho milk, two esrss. one pound of raisins, half a pound of citron.

A Trip to Ochoco Valley, Editor Stat Myhtt Democrat t Having recently mndo a trip acroa the mountains to Crooked river and Ochoco Val ley, partly for pleasure nnd to ascertain a more general knowledge of the practicability of crossing tho mountains at this season of tho year. Accordingly, I in company with five others, started from Lebanon on May 15th ult. Wo found about 15 wiles of enow to croNs over, mot of which was about 3 or 4 fuct deep, but sufficiently packed o that our horc could, without much laW ' travel on it. Had t not been for a freah fall of snow, our journey would have been perform ed with lens fatigue, but even an it wan, wo wero happily surprised to find ouraclvca safely landed on the Kastern ido of tho mountains by only one day's travel on the snow. There can be no trouble anticipated in driving "took acroa the Mountains from this timo to tho commencement of next winter. Tho Wagon Koad Company have by the management of Mr. John Oilliland entirely opened the Trail around the fords of tho Santiam rivor which avoids all ncccKnity in fording the Santiam river wit'i stock. The fallen trees have all been cleaned out of tho road no far n tho anow which estendtt n far an the Puna. From the melting of the snow at the present, it will bo nearly all gone by the middle of the present month, so that wagon can cros with cao. Arriving at Camp Polk, we found Capt. J. A. White. A more enterprising man Linn county has not produced. He waa liv ing alone, taking caro of his oxen nnd hornet which he had brought from Ochoco lait April, when hi company, who had settled in Ochoco lat Fall, had left their winter quartern to return to the Willamette Valley, The day after our arrival at Camp Polk wo atartcd fur Ochoco, and in three days aafely arrived at the settlement. The house and all their fixture were un disturbed, there having hen no signa of In diana or persona aince they left. The gar den, wheat and oata which they planted the firat part of last April, was growing fine. Tho oata and wheat, which had been aowu on newly ploughed ground, had grown abou1 6 inches high, and indeed tho entire planted crop bid fair for a god yield, despite tho frost which had visited it about the 2nd of April last. On every aide the tali graa waved in luxuriant grandeur, having nearly reached It growth. I have never seen a country ao well act with grass at this, nnd of such cisy access. Messrs. Clnypool, Barnes, Burkhart, nnd Smith erected excellent houses, which bcio ken that they are in earnest about pcrma nently locating in that country. From ob serration I am convinced that about 100 fam ilic can settle in the valleys of Crooked rir. cr and Ochoco. One thing especially i needed in this newly settled country, which is a mail route running from Albany to the Mountain House. Grass is in abundance in the entire coun try affording one vast grazing plain fyr thou sands of stock. We could not find any algns of Indians having Wn around tho ranches which the settlers lal ic-tt, ana inieca we were con vinced that no Indians will lj nJout again in that country during this season ; but propa bly they will again make their appearance next Spring, when by careful means being taken with tho stock no danger may be an ticipated. Many settlers are moving at this time for that country, and soon the entire country will he settled up. - . The Mountains can now easily bo crossed with stock, and in about two or three weeks wagons can cross handily. Ochoco. In the last number of the Democrat we stated that Mr. Mansfield, previ ous to the election, promised to vote the Democratic ticket. He denies that he ever gave such a pledge. Our statement was based on general ru mor; and also upon the fact that he did say, to more than one, that he was as good a Democrat as ever. As we always regarded him as a sound Dem ocrat, up to a short time prior to the election, and as we cannot see how a good Democrat can vote for any oth er ticket save the Democratic and be as good a Democrat as ever, we felt justified in making the above asser tion. Not wishing, however, to place him in a false attitude in any respect whatever, we cheerfully give him tho full benefit of a denial, as above. THE dltKGON "KLKCTION. The Fins t Gun from the Pacific Ntatcft IA Centre Nhot Into the Decaying Hulk of .vlongreltam. One hundred guns for Oregon 1 The Webfoot State has covered herself with immortal glory ! 1 . The first response to the action of the Chicago Convention has been a most emphatic condemnation of Grant and Colfax. .Mongrclism and all its revolting adjuncts aro dead on the Pa cific coast. : , Nine months ago, by a majority of near ten thousand, California proclaimed her allegiance to a white man government, and her determination to restore the grand old Union, overthrown by Radical perfidy. Under the gallant Huight, the banner of constitutional liberty was borne to a glo rious triumph. Wo predicted then that Oregon, which by gross frauds was made to give a majority against us, would take rank this yjar alongside 'of California. In this we have not been deceived. .Her gallant, un terrified and noble army of Democratic patriots have woven lor them selves a crown of immortal honor. They have condemned the infamous at tempt of the Radical Jacobins to strike down the President. ; y .'; They havo repudiated their wicked pur pose to place the Southern States under negro domination. They have declared that this shall be a white man's government as well at the South as at the North. They have denounced the entiro batch of legislative monstrosities, sought to be fastened upon the country by Radical per fidy and villainy, ; . They have rejected Grant and Colfax as unworthy tho confidence of a free peo ple."'. " ' ' ' In short they have proclaimed to tho world that Oregon is euro for tho Demo cratic nominee of the 4th of July Con- vootioa. - f Three times threo for the gallant Dem ocracy of Oreg n. Let every patriot heart rejoice. Lot every true friend of tho Uoion ro- joice. Let every lover of justice and equal rights bo excocding glad. Let tho benighted worshipper of the hideous idol of Mongrclism soeak to his hole. Verily are tho skies bright and bright ening. Tho murky clouds of Radicalism which have so long hung over tho land are clear ing away. Duylight is visible ahead, and the ro vcrberating inusio of the march of an urouxed people is heard in the land. Democrats of Jalifornia 1 In your name we send greeting to our brethren in Ore gon.

The Senate pro cccded to tho consideration of the bill for the admission of North Carolina, South Car olina, Georgia, Louisiana and Honda, l lengthy discussion ensued, which Mr.Trum bull interrupted to make a report from the Committee on Conference on the Arkansas bill, saying it might have an influence on the decision of this bill. He explained that the Committee reccommended agreement to the bill as passed by the House, with a slight amendment to the preamble, the bill pro vided, as a fundamental condition, that no chango shall bo made in the Constitution, denying the right of suffrage to any citizen or class of citizens. The Committee had added the provision that the Constitution maybo changed as to time or place or resi dence, as the people think proper : also as to the right of foreigners to vote, so as to acquire tho right of citizenship hereafter if they choose. Mr. Trumbull Jhen withdrew the report, so as to correct a clerical error in the transcription, loo debate was then resumed. Mr. Conness favored the admis sion of Alabama, and denounced Mr. Doo little as a deserter from the party for the sake of the President's flesh-pots. The report of the Conference Committee on the Arkansas bill was then presented as correct, and agreed to. In tho House, tho bill to grant certain swamp lands to Wisconsin was passed. The house has agreed to hold no evening session. Washington, June 6.- Tho Senate has rejected McClellan's nomination as Minister to England, and confirmed Captain Pennck as Commodore Commander N. B.

Senator on General Grant - ,VvV iu mw ouwb ounaie, Diay Ota 1802, in reply to Mr. Sherman, of Ohio! speaking of the battle of Pittsburg Land-' ing, Hev. J as. Harlan, Senator from lows, said : - "From all that I can learn on the sub- ft ject, 1 do not think that General Grant is tit to command a great army in the field. "The Iowa troops have been ia, , battle repeatedly under command of Gen- eral Grant. They have no confidence lriT his capcity or fitness for the position he now holds. Thev regard Mm as the an-' thor of the useless slaughter of many ; hundreds of their brave comrades m 1 crms. It is not necessary, nor is itrighf to compel them to serve under him. The 1 speech of the Senator from Ohio might. - ' t' it ,i .7 continue him in the field. "1 understand he has been virtually suspended, that he now really has no com mand, that each divsion and army corps of the Western ' -Department is under the command of another General, and the whole under the command of Gentiat Halleck; that General Grant is Bccoadio, command ot the whole, which is, ofcourse, '. i 1 -, uuu aiier uie rec ord whicii he 'has made. Avt& the only practical tendency of. that part ef the spcocn oi the senator lrora Ohio, would be to induce the President to assign him an active command, inia l cannot con sent to have done in the presence of my couotrymen, maimed end slaughtered, a. I believe, throust-Ms carelessness or in competency. I say rliis not on acetnnt f '' any public or private grievance of a pri vate nature. If my convictions .c vurrvut u vruuiu dc a crime lor me to remain silent, and suffer influences to-, originate in. the Senate chamber which may result in restoring a General to activet commandwhora I, and the people I in. part represent, deem unworthy of such a tru-it. - "And he shall not with my consent be continued io command. There is noth ing in his antecedents to justify a further trial of his military skill. At Belmonti he committed an egregious and unpardon able military blunder, which resulted in almost annihilating an Iowa regiment.. "At fort Donclson, the right wing- of our army, which was Boier" his imme diate command, was defeated and driven, back several miles from the enemy wcrks. The battle was restored by Gen eral Smith, the enemy's works were storm ed, and thus a victory was finally won And soon the battle-field of Shiloh, his army was completely surprised, as I he lie ve, from all the facts I can procure, CBr, Sunday, and nothing but the stubborn bravery of men fighting by regiments and brigades saved tne army from utter de struction. The battle was afterwards re stored and conducted by General Bueli and other General?, who same on the field; during the evening ami aight, and our forces ultimately succeeded in routing the -ci emy. Now, Mr, with such a reccrd,, those who continue General Grant in active command, wilt, in my opinion, carry on their tkirts the blood of thousands of thcir slaughtered countrymen. ' With my convictions, I can neither do it myself" nor silently permit others to do it." See. Concessional Globe; 2d Session, Thirty fecventh Congress, pa sres 2,036 and 2,-03T-3 Was not Senator Harlan right? Did not his nigiviogs eome- true ? Did not those who eoutinucd Gen.
