Leaa, ( 1 A THE " KEY DEPAPTURE" AGAIN. Walla Walla, W. 1 ? Aug. 30, 1871. Editor State Kiyhtt Democrat: " ' - I have witnesaej w.jth no - little in terest and iom anxiety the discussion going on through the Domocratio press of Oregon on the subject of the so-talled 'New Departure." i Having resided for a period of six teen years in the Willamette Valley, and participated in .the struggles of . ft a-k a a . B a . a m toe Democracy in us dart Lours, ana knowing full well the political integ rity of those who oppose the Ohio propositions in 7our BttctwtJfir ing that they atooa shoulder to ishoul der, without a waver, while the dark wave of Radicalism swept over the land, I naturally feel solicitude in the result of the controversy. My De mocracy goes just this far: .Should those propositions fail to find a lodg ment in the national platform, I am for the Democracy; Should they be endorsed, I am no less content until the matter is settled by the adoption of National Platform. Discussion ia proper. Discussion in the right spirit can do no harm, and it is by a full interchange of ideas that satist'ae tory conclusions must flow, if at all. I propose, therefore, in a spirit that shall stir op no ill blood or beget any ill-tempered speech, to give my own reasons for acquiescing in the Ohio propositions the chain of thought that induced me to believe that the same was the true position for the Democracy at the present crisis of political affairs. I saw, or thought I could see, three separate and distinct groups of facts that should be consid ered with relation to themselves and to each other. The first of these I arranged and classified thus : 1. The several amendments of the past ten years effect radical changes in the original form of government, and are intamonsin character and were passed by imposition, brute force and shameless fraud. 2. The radical party are alone re sponsible lor their passage. , 3. They were each declared ratified by tbe requisite number of States, and as a consequence declared to be part and parcel of the original Con stitution, and are therefore not at this time before the people of the various Slates for ratification or rejection. 4. That one method, at least, , of reaching improper and impolitic amendments is by action of Congress in tne mMie prescribed, ana ratified by three-tourtua of the States repeal ing tne same. 6. That it is at least thought impos sible by the best legal m.nus to have adjudication by the Supreme Court of tbe Utbted States upon the legality of their adoption. ' 6. That there is no other peaceable manner of reaching them. If, then, the amendments are de clared ratified, and there is no other method of reaching them save by congressional action or revolution good or bad, as they may be, they must be endured until the wisdom of the fsture shall remove them from the statutes of the land. No amount of discuusion no .complaining, however great, will, reach the case. If you present a proposition looking to their repeal, you concede at once that they are laws ; and this, as I understand it, is all that Mr. Vallandigham proposed at any time to do. No endorsement whatever, but simply an acceptance thereof as laws. - No endorsement whatever of the mean but a recogni tion of an accomplished fact. ; The second group of facta are as follows:' , f 1. The Democratic party have ever regarded strict construction of the fundamental law of the land as a car dinal doctrine in their political creed. 2. The Democratic party has ever been, and now is, a party of .law and order. : 1 3. The Democratic party has ever been opposed to revolution within our own territorial limits. , . : 4. The Democratic party has al ways favored tbe correction of error ana the" redress of wrong in a legiti mate way only.: , These facts are all akin to one an other, and each and every one of tbem, or at least tne Greater number, show if admitted as facts, that the Democ racy are onalterrbly committed to the acceptance of Jaw as such, or the re moval ot objectionable law in a legal way oniy. revolution, men. is out 01 the question. Adjudication by the Supreme Court is thought impossible, There is then but ? one legitimate coarse lett. .Agitation looking to re peal. To agitate there must be an is sue. And how is that issue to ba formed. By a declaration ' of some sort put forth in the platform ot the . party, and by such . declaration you at once concede the ground of Mr. Vallandigham, viz., that:,': the amendments are laws. it tney are pot- why oner to repeal, and if they are laws, would it not be manly: to concede the fact and meet it accord ingly. ' :;-V :' "-' ' Admittingthen for the sake of pass ing rapidly over the question that agitation will be necessary, and that this cannot be Bad save by th't pre sentation of an issue, ia it politic or even necessary to make tne issue now. Here I present my third group! of facts.'- ' ::' :; )"'-' a-- -vv 1. That no amount of discussion will change the fact that the amend ments have been declared adopted. That discussion at this time of the policy and correctness of, or ne cessity for, the amendments, can only keep alive tbe passions engendered by a state of war and shut out to a great extent tbe presentation of tbe Living and paramount issues of the hoar issues upon which the radical party must necessarily be overthrown. ; :? 3. That the opponents of Democ racy are anxious to avoid thecs same living issues. , rv I I Ml I I i ii i i . 'i i. it 11 ii ALBANY. OREGON, FRIDAY; SEPTEMBER 8, 4. that by removing from the com iny political campaign, the' issuea growing out of a state of war. you at a single blow demolish the major por tion of the arguments of radical ora tors and throw them at once upon the defensive where the liberty-destroying, constitutional death-dealing of their party is at once exposed and held up to publio condemnation. ,'If then the Democracy are not re quired to make issues for the benefit of their ' political foes and . furuisn weapons to ' be used against them selves. When failing so to do, they Yield no principle, they simply ex hibit a high order of political sagacity in placing themselves in a condition lo fight' one political battle upon equal Kerms with aq over.i)oofidotit foe, .'V ' i I therefore concluded, however much I might detest the amendments, there was no use to continue an agita tion of a subject that could do no good, aud thereby jeopardize my own prospect of success. If the Democ racy cannot prevail upon the living issues of the day that , party cannot prevail at all, and if so favorable an opportunity ' of success be thrown away are we not recreant to the prin ciples of the fathers, and exhibit a lack of patriotism in ordor that we may , show our utter detestation for laws, the operation of which we can not avoid. If defeat is to be pur chased at tbe price of a useless agita tion, I submit that tbe compensation is in no way commensurate with the terrible efi'ect and character of the thing bought. Walla Walla. GEX. WANIIIKC.TOX WIIESf A Yucaru UAar. An old journal of a young lady in Virginia bad come to light, in which is transcribed a letter, written in 17C2 showing that the "father of bis coun try," when a young man, waa a good deal like other young men: "I mast tell you of our frolic after we went to our room. We took it into our beads to want to eat: veil, we bad large dish of bacon and beef; after that a bowl of aago cream, aud after that an apple pie.

Han uah aeon folio ed ureased in his coat. They joined ns in eating tbe apple pie, and then got out. After this we took it into our beads to want to eat some oysters. We got up, put on our wrappers and eut down into the cellar to get tbem. Do you think. Mr. Washington did not follow us and scars us just to dest'i? We went up though and ate our oysters. W slept iu tbe old lady'i room, too, and she sat laughing fit to kill beraeli at as. , .

A New Orleans correspondent gives an account of an interview with 'Mrs. General Gaines: ' Mrs. Gaines was introduced to onr party and at once entered into a lively conversation, Bhe doing most of the talking. - She looks young, and is lively and in tei eating, but said she was sixty-four years old. No one would think it from her ap pearance She said that eibce the law suit was decided' in her favor, she bad received a great number of offers from gentlemen who bad suddenly fallen in love with her, ' Tbey all wanted to better their condition, so d d she, and therefore she declined to accept. ;.: She aaid that General Gaines waa the very best man that ever lived, and that be never did an 11 . a. evu aeea, ana never thought one, and that there were none : left like him. She had been on to see Gen, Grant and tbe members' of his cabi net, and, had, learned them to respect her rights, and tbey bad given her what she asked.' , And now she waa here to attend to some more lau suits. She was very racy in' her converaa tion, and relates a great variety of anecdotes, some quite amusing, and you ill feel inclined to laugh, but it is certain that she will laugh the loudest and longest of any one. It is said that she ia now the richest wo man in the world. She says she has now established her rights in the courts, and is going to work to :im prove the condition of women by es taDURDing colleges, in which women are to be taught the same branches as men Her plan U to endow a college with pnmary schools. These is now growing in the town of WaUortb, in this State, a tame cherry tree measuring, eighteen feet in circumference, from which thirty bushels of cherries have been gather ed this year.-. It ia believed that this cherry tree can not ta beaten for size and prodoctivenesa by any tree of the kind is the world. ' ' , -WHITE HANDS. , ; - This ia not the story of a king, bnt of an humble peasant girl ; tbe scene is not laid in a camp, but in a village at a time when Bonaparte's wars had not given' to the simple name of Ber nadotte (little Bernard), tbe historic glow which still surround it . A man and his wife had an only daughter, and tbey were so proud of her that she nau scarcely come into the world when they began to think of her marriage. . The man, laboring with the greatest perseverance, aought to accumulate for her one of those at tractive dowries which fascinate rich young bachelors; the wife seconded bia effort ao courageously, ' grubbing in the ground aU day and stitching ail night, constantly preparing tne pnae a outfit, that she fell sick, and died, not being willing to call in 'v the. doctor, that she might save the cost of the remedies. .?'?? V V"r Father Hugh, left alone with his daughter, was only the more anxious to have a son-in-law some sturdy la borer possessing a competence, one who would insure both the prosperity of his bouse and the happiness of his daughter. . - - - When she got to be eighteen yeara of age there was no lack of suitors. Father Hugh owed to his avarice the reputation of a man in easy circum stances, one who bad cleverly turned bis pennies to account by making short loans at a rate of interest not -sanctioned by the code; but all young men wishing to marry took very good care not to reproach him with an in fraction of the statute; the sin would remain with the father-in-law and the profits with the grandchildren ; so they rubbed their Lands and repeated the universal proverb : "Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good." Bernadotte, worthy of ber sire in economy and activity, trudged to tows every forenoon to sell her chickens, eggs and fruit She frequently en countered young Micontet, the plow man, who would drive up bis oxen to the end of the furrow by the road side and keep them standing a long time to bid tbe young girl gooi morn ing, and chat with her about the rain, and the fine weather, and tbe chick ens, and tbe cows, and tbe growing corn, and the beans that were about drying. Bernadotte, no matter what might be ber haste to get married, al ways had a few moments to spare for her talkative friend, and even after leaving him to go back repeatedly to answer, as far as he could make ber hear them, tbe iat kind words which be always sent after ber over tbe hedge. - Arrived at the market place, the first customer whom Beruadotte usu ally found there was tbe young baker, Casterez. who. under the pretext of examining ber egg and fruit,' pro longed tbe conversation a full hour, praising the bright feathers of tbe chickens, their remarkable plumpness, and bestowing a thousand compli ments on the clever housekeeper, who knew hpw to get them into such nice condition. Pawing from words to acts, he would bargain for the entire lot, appear perfectly satisfied with tbe price, aud carry the basket off to his shop, where the fair merchant always found some refreshment ana a couple of nice tarts garnished with sweet meats. ' Bernadotte, on returning home from market lightened of her load, passed before the bhop of tbe hair-dresser, Firmin, a young dandy as frizzled and smoothly shaved as the little ' Saint Jo'un in the procession of . the ' Fete Dieu. M. Firmin bad just completed bis tour through France, aa stated on a handseme sign in big letters, adorn ed with a pair of scissors and a razor, after tbe fashion of a heraldic shield stamped with a double device. 11 " Heighl ,I Bernadotte," exclaimed the artist io barber, "have you any eggs to sell me. to-day Y". . ... Bernadotte nodded affirmatively.- She had been careful, to conceal a doz en from the wholesale buyer, Caster ez, purposely to have some left tor Al. Firmin. rrudence ia tbe mother of certainty. , Micoutet was undoubted ly very attentive, Casterez very devo ted, but M. Firmin was no less, agree able, and nobody knew what might happen. . . : ' ' '. ': The eggs were accordingly handed to M. Firmin, who found their freshness quite worthy of her who brought them.1 Far from attempting to abate the price; he added to the money he cave her a small flask of lavender wa ter or a cake of scented soap.; He wanted to know how Father Hugh was, and all about Braquette, the cow whose excellent milk maintained the rosy bne of the milker's cheeks, ' and about the sheep providing the ; wool with which to knit those pretty stock ings so snugly fitting those little' feet M. Firmin in his tour through France had become very' impertinent;' his presumption might have offended this young rustic, had not her interests ob liged Tier to dissimulate and to be somewhat tolerant ' He asked her to bring him eggs the ' next day, ' butter every time she emptied her. churn; and, notwithstanding his impertinence, a fault in young, men which young girls often complain of to satisfy their consciences, Bernadotte found the hair-dresser quite as agreeable as he was attentive; ' ' -. Micontet, the plowman, daily in the field, no matter what, might: oe the state of the weather, and at the earli est honr, because he could not sleep in his anxiety to aee daylight and Ber nadotte, became so worn out by ' this way of living that he resolved to get back both his sleep and his nsual tran quility. He betook himself ; to the house of the father of her who had robbed him of his repose; and cap' in hand, with downcast eyes and a stam mering voice, spoke to him a long time about Bernadotte, praising ter vigorous arms,, made lor . wort, and the good health apparent in every form and feature, and tidly des&uciad her , hand. Father Hugh did not say yes, and I still less no. He knew full well the i t i i . i I i i r r:.:,. I W'WXo- 187L value of those little words of few let ters; like bis corns, he would not let them co without certain guarantees of their being properly placed.? He put vu- niv jwuujj tuaa iu ib ' JOiiowiog Sunday, and meanwhile communica ted the proposal to but daughter. - -uwouici u a very nice - young man." said Bernadotte. talk with him everv morning on pass- j ing his farm.. He has fine oxen, good ' , emu usiu.uuuB. i bluu, auu i neios ana an excellent vineyard. Cas terez, the baker, however, appears al so to good advantage; would it not be weir ' "Casterez, the baker!" replied Fa ther Hugh, in a reflective mood. "By our lady, there is always bread on', a baker's counter I" "I "And tarts on the dinner table," added BernaotU -t ' r "I will find ont, my ' child, what the baker means before deciding." .: ' , "His meaning, father, .is plain enough.' He buy a every morning all that I take to town', and without hig gling about the price, please you. If I were to ask him double, he would not make the slightest objection." . ' "Without higgling about the price!" repeated Father Hugh, who did not do business after that fashion. ' That young fellow is very much smitten 1 We will look into the matter, Berna dotte ; and if his granary and his purse are as well stocked .with flour and cash as his heart seems to be with love, we will try to .make some ar rangement" 1 , : ' Father Hugh strode off to town to see the baker, who, delighted with this proceeding, showed himself deep ly enamored. : :'' n: i'-' . '.. ' "Which of , the two P exclaimed Father Hugh to himself. Tbe thing works well. , We will set them to competing; goods in demand increaea in value." . . v.t He returned home and, communi cating the baker's sentiments to bis daughter, promised her to decide quickly which of the two it would be best for her to marry. , "The - baker , ia a very' nice young man," added Bernadotte, the same as sbe bad aaid of tbe plowman Mi contet, "but there is another, the hair dresser, Frimin. He buys something of me every day', and keepa me an hour talking about his tour through France, the yarn my stockings are made of, and my good milch cow. He assnrea me that be has never seen any one more engaging than she whom be has tbe pleasure of looking at when he looks at me." ? "The compliments of a barber I" in terposed Father Hugh. "Everybody knows what they are worth! No matter, the affair progresses; competi tion among three makes the profit all the greater 1 We will aee the hair dresser, my dear, and find out what to expect from his admiration." ' Hugh again returned to town, where he had an interview with M. Firmin ; and as he knew that the larger the company of buyers the more active the bidding, be invited each of the com petitors to come to his house the fol lowing Sunday after mass. 1 4 , "Humph P he muttered to himself, as be canvassed the situation ; "the plowman courts my daughter,' but without neglecting his work or spend ing a farthing; the baker is doing tbe same thing, loittering about the market-place, and spending his money to win tbe saleswoman; the barber over whelms Bernadotte with fulsome complaints and trifling present s.
