Just now it would doubtless be of interest to par readers to learn how the Democratio newspapers of Ore con receive the . Baltimore nomina tions, and we therefore collate a few . -extracts from each of them relating to this subject. The Jacksonville Times concludes its editorial upon the situation as lol lows: "Oar duty, as free citizens, is to unite in a mass and rise and over throw the tyrant who is fast bringing our country to a state of anarchy and ruin. This can only be done by sup porting the Baltimore nominee; and when Grant 6hall be hurled from pow cr, the United States can once more ireathe free." It will cheerfully sup port Greeley and Brown, The Rosebnrg Plaindealer runs up the names of Greeley and Brown, and in commenting npon their nomiuation says: "Since the assembled repre sentatives of the party, among whom "were nearly all of our ablest states men, have in accordance with the time-honored usages and with a unan imity with out a parallel, ' designated them as the standard-bearers of the Democratic party, we are compelled to recognize their authority as final. The Eugene City Guar d hangs bac in toe traces ana kicks nearly over the dash-board about the nominations. It refuses to hoist the ticket to its mast-head at present, but proposes to be guided by circumstances in its fu ture course. We trust that circum stances may guide the Guard in the right direction and lead it to strike hands with the remainder of the Dem ocratio press throughout Oregon, in support of the ticket put forward by -our party in National Convention as sembled. ; . . The Corvallis Democrat promptly raises the Greeley and Brown ebe neezer and publishes a leader of warm endorsement. It promises to make a vigorous fight for the honest farmer of Chappaqua. For some unaccountable reason the Salem Mercury of last week failed to put in an appearance at" our sanctum, lut we learn from our other exchanges that it runs np the ticket and heartily endorses the action of the Conven tion. The Oregon City Enterprise hoists the ticket and promises a free and full support and advocacy of the good cause, . We announced last week that the Portland Herald had run up to its masthead the Greeley and Brown standard. That very excellent and able champion of progress and reform is already striking telling and vigor ous blows in behalf of the ticket, and predicts its triumphant election by a prodigious majority. It says that the -question will soon be, not what States GreeIey will carry, but rather what be won't carry, as the revolution which is setting in will gather in volume until in November it will sweep the almost vcvery State in the Union. ' ' , We havn't received the Lafayette 'Courier for several weeks, but from the Herald we learn that it advocates the Greeley and Brown ticket and ad vocates its election in earnest and .glowing language. - The Baker. City Democrat comes out in favor of Greeley and Brown, as also does the La Grande Sentinel. From these papers we learn that the sterling Democracy of Eastern Ore gon will warmly sustain the action of he National Convention and give the - ticket a hearty support. That coun try is settled mainly, by Southern peo ple, yet fresh from the scenes of per secution, oppression and bayonet rule", and they are willing to unite with all honest and humane people to over: throw the power which caused their sufferings and made them exiles from lheir own sunny land. . : , ' In view of the fact that the Demo cratic papers of the State, with one exception, are warmly supporting the ticket, that the Democracy are known to be . almost a unit for it, and that many honest Republicans are daily pronouncing for its support, is it un reasonable to assert that Oregon will in November cast her electoral ; vote. for v the Democratic Convention ? We hon estly think that we nave at least an ;even chance with the Grantites of car rying the State, .and our prospects will surely. ,.brighten as the contest ocar its culmination. .' : . The Woeld's PosmosrThe N. Y. World, which has all along violent ly opposed the endorsement of Gree ley at Lbe Baltimore Convention, now wheels into line with th following noble words; We bow to the de cision of the Democratio National Convention, and leyally accept Gree ley as the "Democratic candidate for President", In reference to any or ganized bolt, it adds that there will be none, but if hundreds of thousands of dissatisfied Democrats stay away from the polls, the re-eiw;tion of Grant would be a certainty. GREELEY'S ACCEPTANCE, j On last Friday the Committee ap pointed by the Baltimore Convention to inform Horace Greeley of his nom ination, called upon him in New York City. The speech of Mr. Doolitvle notifying Greeley of the Baltimore nomination, was quite brief and brmal, after which, he introduced the members of the Committer individu ally. Greeley spoke as follows: I should need time w ere I to at tempt to reply fitly and fully to this important, and I need not say, grati fying communication. , It may be that I should reply m wntine. but as have addressed a lette r, which has been pretty widely considered, to the liberal llepuuliuan Convention, it may not be necessary. I can only say now tbat 1 accept your nomination in me same spirit in wuicn it is onerea Ceers.1 I am at present in a position which many doubtless regard as t proud one, but which is to mo an em barrassing one, because it involves the temporary, and I trust but the tem porary, annoyance tot a misconstruc tion ot my motives on the part of some valued and life-long friends. I am confident that time alouo is necessary to vindicate my motives to all and to convince all, in deed, of the patriotism of the cotirso I am pursuing and intended to pursue long before I was assured ot so much co-operat.on and sympathy. Cheers. The time will come. I hone, in good opportunity, when the world will see that you are no less Democrats be cause you have pursued the course you have, and that I am no less a Re publican because I accept your nomi nation. I Cheers, j Here Mr. Greeley's voice faltered with emotion. He recovered himself and continued. I am not much in the habit of re ceiving nominations for the Presiden cy. I ureal laughter, l l am, in con sequence, unable to reply as readily as others might uenewed Laughter, I can only say tbat I will be happy to see all of you, or at least as many of you as can come, to my humble farm house, where I shall be to-morrow, and where we shall be able to con verse and confer more freely than here. If you come, I Khali be happy to make you welcome to the best the farm can afford. Laughter and cheers. And so I simply bid you farewell. MR. HELM'S POSITION. As much speculation has been in dulged in with regard to the position which Hon. Geo. R. Helm would oc cupy in the present political contest, he has felt constraiuei to publish the following card, which is suffi ciently explicit to leave no doubt of his warm support of the Baltimore nominees: "I abide by the action of the Bal timore Convention. I helped make that Convention, and recognize its binding authority upon me. What ever I may have said or done, the fight will now be against public plun derers aud a dishonest administra tion. I am willing to make sacrifices for the good of my country. Geo. R. Hnn." THE PACIFIC STATES. Our neighbors over in Nevada are enthusiastic for Greeley. The Demo crats and many Liberal Republicans are forming clubs and will certainly carry the State for the "Sage of Chap paqua" by a handsome majority. Cal ifornia will go the same way. Shall Oregon, which has heretofore been the most reliable Democratic State of the trio, be allowed to disgrace her- setf by giving a majority for the dog fanci erj - Hiram U. Grant ? . We cer tainly .think that every Democrat in the State , would shrink Irora such a cousummati o. Some Diffb."exce. The Herald and Oregonian da.:,y receive the same dispatches. On last Friday morning the Herald contained tb5 following: "Memphis, July 10.- The Appeal and Avelanche have suspe. ndfld . lar Greeley flags across the B.re'!t nd clubs are arranging for a rat h."ion meeting." Whereas, the Oregonian ot same date dished up the dispatch to its readers as follows : , ! "Memphis, July 10. The Appeal and Avalanche have suspended. Large Greeley flas are stretched across the street and clubs are arrang ing for a ratification meeting." ,Now which is correct? Havinz for some time' understood that the Appeal aud Avalanche supported Greeley we are of the opinion tbat the Oregonian has in this instance resorted to its old trick of garbling or changing the dispatches to suit its own, purposes. " Such conduct as those" is meaner than stealing chest nuts from a blind sow. . -r Weepixo Jeremiah. Captain Crandall, of the Statesman, permits his bowels to yearn with compassion for: Mart.

Timet Is confident Greeley will carry Wisconsin by a weeping majority. A Scandinavian Greeley club is formed at St. Paul, and MineBota is on fire for Greeley. Five hundred Democrats dined with Horace Greeley at his Chap paque farm last Saturday. And now what are we coming to? George I rancis Train was at the Bal timore Convention and will support Horace. A correspondent of the Herald positively asserts that every Catholic paper in the Union except one sup ports Greeley. One-third of the Republicans of Orleans county, N. Y., are for Gree ley. The some is said of Madison county, in that State. Hon. M. H. Weir, of Indiana, claims that State for the Democracy in October by 20,000 majority. He was formerly a Radical. Wm. Eggleston, of Gibbs county, Va., writes that there will be no con test in Virginia, as the Liberal tick et will win by 30,000 majority or more. Greeley has a dead sure thing on election now, as he is getting a start in Yamhill, where several prominent Republicans have pronounced for him. Several old line Republicans a'd- dressed a Greeley ratification meeting at San Jose, California, last Friday night. The wildest enthusiasm pre vailed. lbe (juincy, (Ills) Herald says there U a club of 200 Greeley Re- pubs in that city; also 150 in Mt Sterling, 200 in Jacksonville, 200 in Joliet, etc. etc. The Oregonian sails into Forney because be won't support the Radi cal ticket in Pensylvania. This looks a good deal like a staddle-bug buck ing up to a camel. Henry Wilson, the nominee of the Grant office-holders' party, is the same Henry Wilson tbat originated the know nothing party in New England, and was its chief head-center. D. T Wright, of Lewis ton, Maine, says tbat all of the prominent Re publicans of the extreme northern part of the United States will be sure to vote for Greeley and Brown. Got. Bross, of Illinois, and Sam Bowls, of the Springfield (Mass) Re publican both of whom traveled over this coast in company with Colfax two years ago are rigorous support ers of Greeley. A South Carolina paper says: "If Raphael Semmea and Braxton Bragg can vote for Mr: Greeley, we cannot well perceive how any Southern man can see any insuperable objection to doing the same thing." The St. Louis Republican thinks that as far as Greeley's abuse of the Democracy in the past is concerned our side has little to complain of; we have certainly abused him enough to fully bailance the account. J. F. Biown, of Washington, Iowa, writes that be is sore Greeley and Brown will carry that State. If this should come to pass in Radical Iowa we believe Grant won't carry a single State in the Union. How's that for high? The Radicals are now patting Brick Pomeroy affectionately on the back because be tried to get up a bolt at Baltimore. A few months ago these same Radicals called him the devil incarnate. "Politics make strange bedfellows." . . Grant's emissaries sent large sums of money to Baltimore to secure bolt in the National Democratic Convention, and the result was it was .'he most harmonious and unanimous 2fa .io nal Convention ever held by the Demc.-atic party.

There's a woman for you as is a womam The soul of a million of men vibrating in the body of a lovely jaybawker, and not to count. ; Something wrong somewhere. , i;, ,:: Gov. ' Palmer, of Illinois, "recently delivered a speech' which contains many strong ' points. Among them the following: "Presidents and Gov ernors are but the servants of the law. We have no master in this country, thank God, and I trust the time . will never come when a Governor of Illi nois will not say to a President, 'obey the law,' and as I am Governor of Ill inois, whether any of its laws are vio lated by a President or anybody else", I will invoke the power of the State to punish them." Mas. DuxiwAY.got mad because Horace Greeley snubbed her and told her to "go Weft and settle," when he attempted to interview him a short time a so. and now she turns oyer to Grant, whom sho only a few moons ago charged with' being a bcastial drunkard and a former pro miscuous cohabitcr with Indian squaws. If she can endorse a man who from her own testimony is guilty 'of these foul practices, wo confess that the "woman movement" whioh she pro fesses to champion has certainly fallen into questionable repute to draw it very mild. And now the bolter's Convention which was threatened is busted for want of a head, Senator Bayard, the prime mover in it, having published a letter stating that helms concluded to support Greeley and Brown. Thus is our grand old pnrty being cemented and crvstalized lor this new deal which is to relieve our country from its present ruinous manacers, and in augurate a system of political econo my which will once more make Ainer ica the glory and admiration of the world. Ihe uregnman ana Jlullehn nro spitting spitefully at each other, and calling hard names. Their fight seems to bo over the question as to which of them contributed most to the late Republican victory in this Slate. This is the first time we have ever known any one pretending or dinary intelligence to claim that it was anything other than Holladay's money which carried tbo State last month. Oi'R Radical cotemporarics gloat over the fact that the Mountaineer supports Grant and Wilson. As its editor lm always been a Radical am! supported every measure of his party by his vote and influence, this looks a cood deal like the triumph of ''the Dutch taking Holland." We woul like to know what in blazes there is to blow about in the fact that a Radi cal supports Grant. Republicans nil at once pretend to be very solicitious for the time honored principles of the Democratic party. All their real solicitude on this subject is occasioned by the cer tainty of Grant s defeat. Uf course j no Democrat is deceived by the shed ding of so many crocodile tears on the part of these hypocritically lacry mose Republicans. Dan Vookiiees, some time ago, in asserting that he would not support Greeley, said : "I would rather of a dark night risk the perilous edge of some Alpine precipice on top of a drunken . mule." As the contest is now really between Greeley and a drunken mule we await patiently to see which of the two Daniel will strad dle. The Democratio party, to support Mr. Greeley for President, is not asked to give up any of its opinions which distinguished it as a party and which may be necessary to maintain its or ganization and r rinctples. It is a por tion of the Republican party that has come to them; not that they, have gone to lbe Republican party. E. A. Pollard. . It is a good rule for Democrats to remember, in these days ;,. "Find out what your antagonist wants you to do, and then don't do it." We ob serve that tbey are Tjery anxious to have Democrats swear v-they won't go for Greeley. Of course Democrats will nWgjatify them by making any such assruons. v We predicted before the election that the great hue and cry about .May's stealing was utterly false, and f rotten np by the Democrats for po itical capital.

Augustus Schell has been chosen Secretary and Treasurer of the National Democratio Committee. The Chicago Times editorially an nounced its abhorrence of its former position, and declares that it will not support Greeley, though it will work for the Liberal State ticket, and use similar exertions for Congressional representation. Ihe lhicago Jrwwte hails the result as a proud triumph of love of country over partisan prejudices and personal preferences, and declares it a final blow to the opposition.
