"We very much regret that a class of
Damocratic etfitora find it necessary
in order to more emphatically express
their objections to the "New Depart
ure," to abuse those who see fit to
accept the situation and to doubt the
political stamina of those of the party
who subscribe to that new movement.
"While we will never cease, person
ally to believe that the movement is
not based upon that exalted type of
political principle which we hold to
be the standard of honor and consis
tency with our party, we yet concede
that Democrats may "honestly dif
fer," and that those of our brethren
who have chosen h the new way in
respect to the Amendments have rights
and privileges as Democrats which
we are bound to respect, and are
doubtless as orthodox upon many of
the vital principles of the party as
tnose who uo not suoscnoo to tne
"Departure." , . j
If the National Democratic Con
vention, which - will be composed
of representatives of the Democracy
from every State in the Union, sees
fit to adopt a platform of similar im
port to that of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
California, and Iowa, the entire party,
from Maine to Oregon and from Min
nesota to the Floridas, will cheerfully
acquiesce, and will fall promptly into
line and fight the battles of that mo
mentous campaign under the old Dem
ocratic banner with its new "stream
ers" This is not the time for an intem
perate discussion of questions ; that
arise within our own ranks. It is too
close upon the eve of that great po
litical contest which is to decide the
weal or woe of our government and
.the fate of our long-cherished insti
tutions, to engage in a tournament of
bitter words which may hardly be
forgotten or forgiven ere the battle is
npon us. Dissension then would be
' "I - - . t Tl"
aangerous ui vision laiai. 11 -we can
not agree upon questions of policy, let
ns sink all such questions under the de
sire for the party's good and make the
light upon those issues which are

terests of our country. The fraudu
lent tariff, iniquitous class-legislation,
protection, the ruinous management
of our national finances, radical usur
pations, administrative incompetency
of the President, radical incroach
ments npon the Federal and State
Constitutions, and the dominant party's
violations of faith,' coupled with the
proscriptive, puritanical bigoted, sec
tarian, intolerant, fanatical ideas and
practices of the radical party, all fur
nish exhaustive themes for the Demo
cratic journalist and speaker, to the
Titter exclusion of those questions
which must inevitably distract atter
tiota from the common foe and cause
dangerous strifes within our own lines
when discussed and animadyerted up
on. v . -: .;.
The Democratic party is one which
ever submits or should do so to the
will of the majority; and to be con
sistent we must yield gracefully and
cheerfully to the will of the Conven
tions of the party which may be from
time to time chosen by the people to
enunciate a code of principles and to
select our standard-bearers. There
may be ideas 'advanced that we don't
like men nominated whom we would
have left in the. back-ground but as
the majority select, the minority should
submit. , . .
. Then we ask: our brethren to bury
the hatchet of discord as we propose
to donot ; however,' surrendering
our individual ideas of principle and
unite in making war upon the com
mon foe and battling for our country's
weak United we must stand, so that
when the full tide of battle is upon us
and the strife waxes hot, we can mass
every battery against the foe and
, pour a broadside into his already de
moralized columns which will send
him : flying from the field without a
hope of resuming the strife.
Gzx. Geo. TV. McCook, who leads
the Ohio Democratic ticket, lias been
for several years a leader of the Dem
ocratic party in that State. He is by
profession, a lawyer, by instinct a
gentleman, and by inclination a sol
dier. His first military - distinction
was earned in the Mexican . war, in
which it may be said be covered him
self with glory. His personal popu
larity is almost equal to that of Geo,
H. Pendleton, while in intellectual
ability he is hardly inferior to that
brilliant and eloquent statesman. : We
believe he has held but one political
office that of Attorney General of
the State but his qualifications fit
him for the highest. The Democrats
of Ohio seem to entertain strong hopes
of his election.
DOTTGLAS county has only been un
der Democratic rule one year and yet
in that time its officers have so man
aged as to pay off an indebtedness of
three thousand dollars ncontracted by
extravagent Radicals and now show
an actual balance in the treasury of
two thousand eight hundred and
eighty-five dollars. We predict that
the people of Douglas county will folly
appreciate such faithful custodians
as their present officers have shown
themselves to be, and will continue
in power the party who has wrought
tliis healthful .financial reform in that
county. - : 1 -
" PEESrDEJTIAL PIGUilJKJ.
the Oregonrah is a oheerful paper,
dWcidedly. It has . the happy faculty
of making . everything look bright for
its side, if to accomplish such a pur
pose it must take terrific strides from
the path of consistency and all those
other jewels nominated in the same
category. In last Tuesday morning's
issue that paper publishes from the
Philadelphia JWss a trio of Presiden
tial prognostications which had the
effect to wreathe its gothio features
into extatic smiles and to cause the
editor to sit with more fancied secur
ity upon his federal official stool than
ever before. - Of course the figures
alluded to gives half of all the States
to the Republicans to start in with ;
it next gobbles up all the doubtful
States for the Republicans, and then
reaches over into the Democratic
column and snatches about half of
those States and plants them under
the head of " Republican." With this
brazen mathematical vandalism it
would be indeed strange if our Radi
cal friends could not capture the next
election on paper. The absurdity
of the Oregonian"s manner of figuring
out a Radical victory will become
more apparent to our readers when
we inform them that it swoops down
on our own Democratio Oregon and
carries it over, body and breeches, in
to the Radical column ! '
As Presidential figuring seems to
be the order of the day, and to show
how simple and easy it is to carry an
election by a judicious amount of such
figuring, we present the following
table irom a late number of the
Louisville Courier-Journal. The
whole number of electoral votes is
317, requiring 159 to constitute a ma
jority. It presents the following ta
ble of three sections, embracing the
Democratic, the Radical and the
doubtful States :
Democratic New Hampshire 5,
New York S3, Indiana, 13, Missouri
11, Delaware 3, Maryland 7, Virginia
10, West Virginia 5, North Carolina
9, Georgia 9, Alabama 8, Tennessee
10, Kentucky 11, Texas 6, Nevada 3,
California 5 total 151. ,
- Itadical Maine 7, Massachusetts
12, Vermont 5, Rhode Island 5, Mich
igan 8, Iowa 8, Minnesota, 4, Kansas
3, Wisconsin 8, South Carolina C,
Mississippi 7 total 72. .
Doubtful Arkansas 5, New Jersey
7, Ohio 21, Pennsylvania 26, Connect
icut 6, Nebraska 3, Illinois 17, Flori
da 3, Louisiana 6 total 94.
We might (says the Courier-Journal)
have placed Louisiana and Flori
da in the Democratic column, for we
believe they are thoroughly Demo
cratic, if anything like a fair election
be held. So we might say of Arkan
sas. Every State that we have set
down as doubtful will be warmly
contested. Whatever may be the re
sult in Ohio this fall, we shall not
lose , hope of carrying that State
against Gen. Grant, who will undoubt
edly be the Radical nominee for the
next Presidency. New Jersey, an
old Democratic State, was carried by
the Radicals last year on account of a
split among Democrats in one or two
Congressional Districts. The chances
are that she will be all right in .1872.
Connecticut is so closely ' balanced
that no one can say with confidence
how she will cast her electoral vote.
We have put Illinois in the doubtful
column because the Democrats in the
last election reduced the Radical ma
jority from forty or fifty thousand
down to a mere handful. Nebraska is
rapidly wheeling into the Democratic
line. Last, though not least, comes
Pennsylvania. Should her Democracy
triumph this Fall and they are very
sanguine we engage to take her out
of the doubtful and place her in the
Democratic column. No sensible
man can look at the states and the
figures we have presented without
feeling that the Democratic party can
elect the next Presinent, if wisdom
sJundd guide its councils.
Thest A2TD Now. At the last Cal
ifornia election, under the Gorham
management, the Radical papers and
stumpers alluded to the Chinese as "our
elder brothers from the Flowery
Kingdom;" now, under the "new de
parture" of that party in California,
they are sneeringly alluded to as the
"long-tailed,' rat-eating, . heathenish,
groveling ofial from a diseased and
rotten foreign go vernment." 1 If they
lose on their present tack we may
look for them to turn about after the
election and once more clasp the
" offal" to their panting bosoms, as
that is their natural status with the
"heathen Chinee."
There is probably not a single Rad
ical newspaper in Oregon that endors
es the pardon of the bigamist, Bo wen,
by Grant, and yet all of them are as
silent as the grave in regard to the
infamy. Is it possiple that there is
not sufficient independence in any of
them to brave the Executive anger
and denounce an act so glaringly par
tizan and reprehensible? What says
our very respectable brother of the
Oregomant .-. , , '
v That inquisitorial secret ' political
organization, the Union League, is
being revived for its filthy work in
the - approaching Presidential cam
paign. . George II. Williams has been
appointed as chief rascal of the
League in this State.

LIFE AND CAMPAIONS OF GENERAL
ROBERT E. LEE. By Janes D. McCasb, Jr.
: We are indebted to Sir. II. McN.
Finley, agent for Linn and Benton
counties, for a copy of the foregoing
work. It is a book of 735 pages, em
bellished with a steel plate of General
Lee and maps of the various battle
grounds upon which he figured as a
soldier and a commander. We have
only as yet had time to make a cursory
examination of the work, yet we have
made sufficient observation of its con
tents to satisfy us of its excellence and
to warrant us in ' recjommending it to
our readers as a reliable and impartial
history of the great and good man
whose noble and pure life its pages so
graphically reflect. While it abounds
with an easy flow of language and
sufficient poetry of expression to fasci
nate the lover of beautiful composi
tion, it also contains historical facts
which must commend it to -the favor
of all searchers after knowledge. The
author has spared no pains to render
his information as complete as possi
ble, and of his success in this respect
the prolific volume before us amply
speaks. The gentlemanly agent will
doubtless give-all of our readers with
in the scope of his field of operations
an opportunity to procure a copy of
this valuable work.

The Price qf I.n4 la Oregon.
We God in convening with partic
from the Knstern State, who daily visit
our office, that the prevent price at which
land is held in Oregon, in obovo what
they expected to Cod it when they ttartcd
to this country, and some think above
iu real value. Now, we are nut ur
prised at this state of thing. It is just
what we were expecting; it in the legiti
mate mult of the ysjm of over rating
everything connected with Oregon, which
has been practiced for the last few years, ;
by parties interested ingcttiog up a large
emigration to th1s country, that they
might profit thereby, regardless of the
real interests of tho country. Men in tho
Atlantic States hare been led to believe
that our best lauds could Lc purchased
at from 55 to fl5, per acre j that plenty
of government land could be obtained in
favorable localities upon government
terms, all of which they find, when they
arrive here, to be untrue; and is it
strange that "they become disgusted," as
somo of our local papers say they have
done, in some cases, "at the high price of
our lands 1" We think not.
Hut is it true that our lands in Ore
gon aro too high f Is it not just possible
that theso gentlemen, although disap
pointed in finding matters just as they
expected to Cud them, are yet mistaken
when they fay our lands aro now held
above their teal value ? Let us look at
this matter calmly a few moments, and
see if this be really true. Improved lands
in Linn county are now lield at from 84
to 830 per acre, as per location, quality
of lands, improvements, Sic. Now take a
farm which we hold for sale at 830 per
acre, containing 392 acres. This farm
wonld cost gll.TGO. 200 acres of this
farm is in cultivation, the balance, 192
acres, in. pasture, orchard, Sic. Now let
a man purchase this farm, .put the 200
acres in wheat, and suppose it yield, 20
bushels to tbe acre, he would have 4,000
bushels ; then suppose ho sells at 75 ots
per bushel, he will realizo $3,000 for
his crop, and in four years bo will have
$12,000, or $240 more than the whole
farm cost him, saying nothing about what
the orchard, pasture, dairy, chickcry,
garden, &o., might yield above the fami
ly expenses, liut add to this calcula
tion another year, and say that it takes
five years to pay for his farm, which is
clearly a safe calculation, and is this land
too high at $30 per acre f We think
not. It a man can buy a trood $12,000
farm and make the money to pay for it in
five years, and have tho farm left, greatly
enhanced in value at the end of five
years, it seems to us be ought to bo satis
fied ; and there is no vague speculation
in this calculation the thing can bo
done. This is not an extravagaut calcu
lation, neither is this an extraordinary
farm. We have several such for sale,
that a man can purchase at the price de
manded, and pay for them out of the
proceeds of the farm, in three to five
years, provided he has most of the re
quired labor within himself or under his
own control ; and if wheat was to re
main at its present price, ho could hire
tho work done and we do not expect
ever to see wheat as low in Albany as it
has been in years past. We were then
dependent entirely upon the Willamette
river as our avenue to market, and that
controlled by a monopoly, and always at
its lowest stage of water during tho latter
part of summer and enrlyfall, so that our
wheat roust necessarily go to tho garner
and remain locked up, while the other
sections of the country were taking the
cream of the market. But that day has
passed. We now have the advantage of
both river and railroad. We can s now
load from one side of our spacious mills or
storehouses into a boat, or from the op
posite fiide into the cars, and in from four
to five days our wheat is in San . Fran
cisco, or four or five hundred,-miles out
on the Pacific ocean on itn way to a for
eign market, and we are no longer living
in a "hole ii the ground" and forced to
go, to market whon it suits the river to
rise or tho V. T. Company to send u a
boat. But wo now go when the market
calls for um, end it suits our convenience
to respond. No, our lands ore not too
high j they' are worth every dollar that
we auk for them, and in five years from
to-day they wilj be worth from 25 to 50
per cent, more than they are now selling
at. Make a note of this, and mark the
result. Wo do not protend to say that it
is tho riehncKS of our soil that renders
our lands so valuable, but it is the pe
culiar adaptability of the climate and soil
to tho growing of wheat, oats, flax, &c,
and entire absence of deleterious ioflu
cnees, all of which combined enables the
farmer to to count upon his crop with as
much certainty as a banker counts upon
the punctual payment of his well secured
notes. We have seen much richer lund
than is found in Oregon, but in our trav
els' from tho St. Lawrcnco river to the
l'acific pceon we have never met with
sail that produced a good crop with as
much certainty, or with so small amount
of labor as in the Willamette valley. Go
iuto the great State of New York and see
a man work all Hummer (a short one,' it
is true), pulling pigeon grass out of the
corn hills of a ten acre lot, with his fin
gers, then sprinkling a spoonful or two
of plaster or bono dust around the little
spires of corn, to enable them to get the
start of tho Canada thistle, and ak him
if he bad land that would bring him 20
bushels of good wheat to the acre, of
which he could cultivate 100 acres w'uh
less labor than he bestows on his ten or
fid ecu acre of corn, whether ho would
take $30 per acre for such land. Go to
the same man again in the month of Jan
uary or February, at the hour of mid
night, when he is out in the barnyard
giving his cattle a little hay to induce
than to stir about to prevent them from
freezing, and ask him if he had a farm of
sncli land as above described, in a climate
so genial and warm that his cattle would
be out feeding upon luxurious gras at
that season of the year, whether he would
think i'.iO per acre, with good improve
ments, was too much for it. Don't you
think he would say , no We guru he
would. No, gentlemen, our lands are
not too high, aud had you not been mis
led in this matter, but had come to Ore
gon understanding jutt how land was
rating here, you would probably have
bciru well satiGcJ. Hut you were d
appointed, and that was what disgusted
you. It was not that you really thought,
upon serious reflection, after fairly weigh
ing all the circumstances, that land in
Oregon is really held above its intrinsic
value. A n intelligent farmer has jut
left our office, who is now raising his
tenth crop in Oregon, lie says that his
tenth crop would average ovci 20 Lush
el per acre, and that he bought a farm at
818 per acre and paid for it out of the
product of the said farm in two years,
and had a small margin, left. lie says
further that, with wheat at $1 per buKhel
he csn pay for any good farm ot 830
per acre, in three years, out of the prod
ucts of the farm. He is this year rais
ing COO acres of wheat, with the help of
two boys able to do about men's work,
and expects to hire a few days' work in
harvest that 800 acres of wheat will be
worth SG.000 at harvest, unless wheat
materially declines. Is his land worth
8.10 per acre ? lie thinks it is, and
thinks he is not mistaken. 15ut there are
plenty of good farms for sale in Oregon
for from ten to twenty dollars per acre ;
some of which might suit somo men aa
well a the higher priced land ; and there
are still lower priced lands, upon which
a good living could bo made, with one-
halt the labor expended upon lands in
homo of the Eastern States. Govern
tuent land is about all absorbed in tho
Willamette valley, but there arc places
in Oregon where excellent locations' for
stock raising, wool growing, &e , may be
made on Government lauds, if persons
aie willing to go into tho frontier settle
ments, some of which are now being rap
idly settling up, of which we may . have
more to say hereafter. R. E. Special.
The CorvalU'' Democrat ot last week
has the following notice of SodaviHc,
In this county:
Soda Springs. From W. W. Ki
gcr, "mine hot" of Klger's Hotel,
who hna lately returned from thin fa
vorite watering place, we learn that the
crowd of visitors to tho springs is
f rcater this year than ever before.
'eterson & Carmichacl, the proprie
tors, are busily engaged In refitting
and improving the hotel and bath hou
ses to accommodate their numerous
guests.
Theso snrlncs are said . to contain
strong medicinal properties peculiarly
adnnted to the diseases of this climate.
Quito a number of invalids are ntnv at
the springs for the purpose of testing
their beneficial effects.
It will be but a short time until the
waters of theso springs become famous
for their healing properties.

The Oregonian says there are a lot
of Siletz Indiana in attendance upon
the TJ. S. District Court in Portland
"who behave themselves about as well
as the average Caucasian." From
our observation of the behavior of
those of the Siletz Indians who gener
ally infest this vicinity we judge that
the Oregonian bases its estimate of
the Caucasian at a very Lo average.

A Few Word to the Ladle.
Many ladies, particularly mother nursing,
complain of a tired, listless feeling, or complete
exhaustion, on arising in the morning. On the
wife and mother devolve the rerponsjbility of
regulating tbo duties of tbeboasebold. Her cares
are numerous, and the mental as well as the
phyxteal powers are frequently called into re
quisition, f be often finds ber slightest occupa
tion a weary task and existence a burden, while
at the sain time she has no regnlar diszaxe.
IIotttrs Sumach Bitters, if resorted to at
this period, will prove an unfailing remedy for
this annoying lasxitud. The !Tects of this po
tent agent are soon seen in the rosy cbeek and
elastic step of the bead of the farilv. a with
restored health and renewed spirits she take
her a-cutmed plae? in the funiily circle. If
tlii friend in need be regularly used, those lj-
prewing symptoms will nertr l complained of,
and not only would lassitude not be experienced
but many diseases following its advent be avoid
ed.- As a medical agent it has no eual, while
its pleasing flavor and healthful effects have
made it a general favorite. It is free from all
properties calculated to impair the system, and
its operations are at once mild, soothing and
efficient. All who have used the Milters attest
its virtues and commend it to use.

good order and stable government bare achieved
wht appears to be a complete success. Kot so
the war in lirownsviile between the old and new
system of doing buuness which has Dot yet
reached a termination, and ready pay customer
continue to find at Wheeler's Store aa opportu
nity to get the benefit of their prudence and

made to the stock and people can probably tup
ply a larger porli.n of their wants from Wheel
