Here is GwKrley again in a'pcrturbed condition, Xi'i -ibo Tribu ne of the 22kI t- September lie says that the Rejyub licaasof California "eled their doom wKcil tbcv fc'ied ftfonoimee the j Democratic idiibboJetk sitJi regard to tiro dfeiKs& Voii dbo Republican party Wases tto W U Champion of EqtfxX ftiti& ega.rlless of raco or fcft-itsgttivo iailu." The lash of Horatc cuts to Uio quick. The Re publican party must be tho champion of .all races and colors, else it ceases to bo tho Republican party. Tho philosopher forgets that thero was a triumph in California as vrell as a de feat. It was the Democratic shibbo leth with regard to the Chinese (and other races) that procured that. The Republican party was just enough committed to Chinese citizenship to secure an overwhelming defeat and yet not enough to deserve the credit of a fearless and outspoken advocacy of their principles. Their course on this question was one of dissimulation and deceit. And it was precisely like the course of the same party in Oregon. Bujthefcrthe Tribune: "Whoever contends that a quarter of the adult Bill eitiians living in a county or district ought to make all the laws, lev j all the taxes, ami hold all th office", because the rest are nothing but igger," Black or Yellow, is a Sham Democrat, and ought to own it." There is no uncertain ring about that. It sounds the purpose and in tentions of the Radical party every where. Three-quarters of tho adult population are not to be excluded from holding office, making laws, levying all the taxes, etc., because they are black or Yellow. This is tho feeling v 1 of the men who originated that iniqui tous measure, known as the 15th Amendment, and here is the object of that Amendment. Chinese suffrage and Chinese office holding is one of the cardinal dogmas of that party, as much so as negro suffrage. "Why deny it ? Tho language of the Amendment shows it. The refusal of the Senate to adopt Mr. Corbett's amendment, expressly declaring that it shotdd not be construed in favor of such suffrage, proves it. The speeches made in the discussion of Mr. Corbett's proposi tion prove it every Senator except the introducer using emphatic lan .guage in favor of the Asiatic as well .as the African. It is shown to be so in the extract above quoted from the Tribune. CoKinoa ense shows that you. cannot exclude Chinamen from an "Equal Rights" law. You cannot ex tend to all men and withhold from him. Neither do vou intend to. Tou cannot admit black and exclude yel low nor will you, unless the people put you down and your crooked and deceitful policy and your proposed in iquities against the dignity and welfare of this nation. THAT QUESTION OF REMOVAL. The Statesman, in answer to our par agraph, asking that the State Fair be changed to a more central part of tho State, says : ' "The fact that Albanv is above tramVi. t nv lfation makes Salem more central at present, and . f a . . u wouia oe poor policy to cnange the plaee for holding the Fair each Tear. The nlaea chosen should bo improved for the purpose, and a great ocai 01 noiei room is neeuea in tne near vicinity. Those who go to the State Fair don' generally go by the river. Probably not more than one or two hundred principally Portlanders, do so. The citizens of Southern and Central Oregon can not possibly go any part of the distance in another way than land. by It is not asked that the place for holding the Fair be changed from place to ilace each year. Has Salem forgotten that the present Fair will be the seventh, in succession, held there? The place chosen should be improv p& for tho purpose, and if Linn county does not make improvements equal to wiiat balem has done, then we won' ask a change. And hotel room is a de ftirahle thing, but the number thus ac commodated at Salem, or for that matter, that would be so accommoda ted anywhere is but an infinitely small part of the crowds that visit State Fair ?. The multitude that spread their tents upon the grounds ad jacent to the Fair premises, are the ones whoee convenience ought to be .consulted. These are the patrons and :supporter3 of the Fair, and they do not depend upon hotel accommoda tions either.

An tvamreliwal christian named James 'Campbell, hailing from tho progressive domain of Now England, kas published a work defending polyg aiuy This is about the nowest thing ilpou an old subject out if we except Geo. Francis Train's recent rattle in behalf of tho religion of the Latter Day Saints. Mr. Campbell says that Polygamy was tho normal and universally per mitted condition of the days of the Old Testament, and that tho polyga mists were the holiest of men. Ho stoutly charges that monogamy is the relic of barbarism, and that polygamy is tho proper and civilizing institution. And Mr. Campbell is meeting with a reception that is not a little surprising in these tnlightened and progressive days. This book is not likely to make a revolu tion, and derives no importance from the possibility of such an influence. Nev theless it is a little curious, and shows the existence of startling ideas in most improbable places. Since we are to havo a population from Asia, it may not bo altogether reasonable to expect to escape from the civilization of Asia. Her extremes in the pursuit of opposite courses, are meeting between New York and San Francisco. Idolatry assails us in the front polygamy in the rear. The material that these ideas command is not despicable by any manner of means, and a verv few centuries xnav disappoint the anticipation of the 4 Mh wisest men of these davs. The coun- m try that built the great wall, that del uged Europe with her cast off people, has in its numbers an argument that may overcome tho nicest philosophy and tho profoundest reasoning. A sin gular short-sightedness seems to pre vail concerning the Chinese jiroblem. But few men consider the character of those people and their fabulous uum- ler one-fourth of whom, if turned loose within our limits, could trample out the civilization of this country and transfix it, as Asia has been for ages m transfixed, with superstition and des potism. Rut things don't happen in tliat war. The rust does not eat awav the polished steel in a day. Time is like ly to become a great deal older than now, and though the people now livin will suffer from the intrusion of the swarms from Asia, yet it may be many generations hence before the crowning features, of Chinese intercourse are realized. The temple of the Mormon may yet give place to the Joss House of the Pagan, and the polygamy of the leaner uav ramts melt away lite a mist before these people who make the virtue of their women a merchantable commodity. HOW IS THIS? The Oregonian continues to hold forth in the interests of a protective tariff and cheap labor wants . every thing hiffh but wajjes. Horace Gree ley is still drawing on to an indefinite and tedious length his "essays, to prove that those laws to keep people from buying where they can buy cheapest are just and statesmanlike. And now comes the Salem Statesman with a word for free trade and fair wages: "It M not the money a man earns wages merely, it is the comfort he can eommatid with it that makes him satisfied. It U the system that will make the laboring man comfortable and inde pendent we should foster, not that which wil make the rich richer aod the poor poorer. The advocacy of the free trade is at present confined to no section and to no party. It may result in a reorganization of alt parties. How is it that there is not unity among these brethren. The Statesman wants tho laborer to earn sufficien wages to make him comfortable and independent. The Oregonian wants him to earn a Chinaman's wages tha will bring his mind and body to the degredation and enslavement of the Chinese laborer ? O, the consistency and the honesty of these radical politicians! A pro tective tariff to keep up prices Chinese immigration to reduce wages --there is a platform upon which they invite the people of the Pacific States. "What motive can induce men to sup port it. What inducement can move the Statesman who talks against it, to vote, and ask others to vote for it ? Can you expect a man to be comforta ble and independent to become a contented and useful member of soci ety, when you make him pay protect ive and revenue tariff prices and work for a Chinaman's wages ? 'when one day's work only pays for one day's rent, in a' respectable tenement, or for one-fourth of a pound of tea which has paid the tariff? Cheap labor is and always was the attendant of de gradation and slavery. The most de sirable condition of society is that which gives most largely of the neces sities and comforts of life in exchange for labor. As you decrease the value of the man's services, in that propor tion you take away his manhood. The Statesman has spoken the - truth; why does not the Oregonian speak it ? Tub Portland papers announce the arrival in that city - of Ex-Governor John Wood and wife, of Illinois. We hope Ex-Gov. John will go up to Salem and accept the "float" of that city. ; . ' Tiir, mis wno la tun. Tho Radicals attempt a deal of hu mor over the failure of tho Legislature o meet on the 20th of September. That body if convened could havo dono nothing beyond another adjournment, unless it had taken tho action of tho Indiana lladical Legislature as a pre cedent and proceeded in tho transaction of business without a quorum. Tho present condition of the Stato with reference to its Legislature and financo is extremely funny. Tho inability of the Assembly to make needful appro priations is a capital joke. Tho tax payers whose gold is locked in tho Treasurer's vaults-if it is fortunately bo ocked must confess tliat tho laugh is against them. Tho men who reap CO or 80 thousand dollars in coin, from ho disruption of tho Legislature, can afford to be gay. They only are grave who must pay. The citizens of Salem would havo seen before this, tho erec tion of a wing of an Insane Asylurt at that city, but for the conspirators. Here is what we have : Forty thous and dollars, that was to have been ex pended at Salem in useful and beauti ful improvements, remanded to tho custody of Messrs. Cook & Pat ton. Another two years contract with private parties to be made, at exhorbitant fig ures, for keeping tho Insane, because at the end of this present contract, the Stato will bo no better prepared to take charge of them than when the contracts was made. Over $20,000 coin to bo paid as interest on treasury warrants, nnd tho next Legislature must add it to the ordinary appropri ations; and what makes it very funny, is tho fact that tho money to pay the warrants is, or ought to be, in the Treas urers hands. Sixty or seventy thous and dollars lost to somebody through tho depreciation of warrants and the conundrums "Who makes it? Who loses it?" aie enough to tickle tho risi bles of every man who dabbles in war rants within reaching and lendin distanco of State funds. Generally the man who wins is the man who laughs. If tho readers of those Radical news papers are funny over the results of Woods' infamy they are a mirthful set, and can afford, like Mark Taplcy, to 1 jolly under the most adverse circum stances. The Worn, Chop. The New York Herald puts tho wool crop for the pres ent year at 40 million pound lens than last year, being ono hundred and thirty seven million pounds, against one hundred and seventy seven mil lion. The same paper says, " on the whole, we do not see that the suffer ings of the wool interests will long con tinue, or that such sufferings Rhouli be stalked liefore the next Congress as a bugbear by which to frighten timi Congressmen into an increase of the tariff on wool. In the meantime let the growth of the article be encouraged in the United States ; for the more of the native article that is grown, the better for American commerce, Ameri can manufactures and the whole Ameri can people." Br a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Oregon, one-third of the propeity known as the Milwaukie Mills, at Milwaukie, Oregon, belongs to Mrs. Clementine Fisk, she being one of the heirs of Lot Whitcomb, whose proper ty the mill was at the time of his death. The property was sold by the execu tors of the deceased, and Mrs. Fisk now recovers it through informality in the proceedings. The Herald says that the death of Ed. Barstow, announced in the issue of a day previous, is said to be prema ture. The first thing of the kind yet recorded. The Times gives, from this year's as sessment, the following statistics of Polk county: . "Number of polls assessed for 1869, 109; acres of land assessed, , 225,677 ; total value taxable property, less indebtedness, $1,624,513; State tax $11,434; School tax, $.1,049; total tax to be raised, $25,673, requiring a levy of 17 tnllis-71 for state tax, 2 for school, and $ for county purposes. i e The Oregon Herald has a leader ar guing that San Francisco is a doomed city and that Portland is "the great metropolis of the Far Northwest."

While so employed, a iree which had been on firo some time, started to fall directly to ward tho spot where tho men were at work. Two of them managed to effect an escape; but the third man, seeing no chance of escape, threw' himself prostrate on tho ground in the mud. Tho tree came down with a crash, killing" ono yoke of cattle, and more or less injuring the other. The man's escape from instantaneous death 1 was almost miraculous. As the tree struck the ground, two large limbs broke off and buried themselves deeply in the earth on each sido of the prostrate man, sustaining the trunk of tho treo above his body, and thus saving his hfe. As it resulted, only a few scratches were received, besides a terrible fright. Commercial. Spiritual Meeting.
