Thcra is a magnetic attraction shout a man wlv has risen from ob scurity to a iiosition of honor by his own exertions, which every true American is proud 10 acknowledge. Thousands of men, in this country, rie every year to wealth and social position upon the crest of some un expected wave of iortnno and either sink again or float along the current unnoticed. lint the man who by en ergy and integrity overcomes every obstacle and earns fame, always re ceives the homage due those who win such honorable attainments. Abra ham Lincoln's reputation as a rail- pplitter secured him a firmer hold up on the hearts of the masses of the northern people than did his achieve ments, either in the law or in politics. Andrew Jackson, Daniel Webster, and many other men who have at tained the highest distinction in the annals of American history, owe their .success to the fact that they were of the iieoole. Thev had known toil and grappled with poverty, and they had vanquished both. Such men are entitled to the sympathy and confi dence of the laboring masses. They know the wants of the people, and if honest and capable they are the safest men to trust with power. Men boru in wealth and nursed in the lap of lux nry aud ease may be Democrats in theory and practice, but they have no sympathy in commofl with the sons of toil who constitute nine tenths of the American people. Hut it is not safe to regard a man worthy of con fidence simply because he was born poor ami lias risen suddenly to public notice by some social or political eruption. The sudden attainment of weaith or power has not a tendency to elevate the human character, but rather to induce proHigacy and a de sire for self-indulgences. The difference between self-made men and those thrown into notice by some capricious freak of fortune is clearly illustrated in the characters of the two men now before the Ameri can people as candidates for the Pres idency. Both were born in compara tive poverty, but by what diS'erent w?ans did they attain emiuence. Greeley rose by honest and unaided toil along the paths of peace; Grant was thrown to the surface by the re l crested tide of civil war; Greeley has been attended in his weary ascent by the onward march of science, art, literature arid civil aud religious frec- rfom; Grant dashetl out upon the po-1 Jitical horizon accompanied by war, discord, rapiiser famine and all tkeir . attendant horrors; Greeley had in scribed upon his banner the golden sheaf.'and the oHve branch; Grant flaunted the skull and cross-bones; Greeley's life has been owe of temper ance ami self-denial ; Grant's, one of dissipation and self-indulgence; Gree ley attained honor and distinction like a Franklin; Grant rose to notorVety like Iiis friend and associate. Jim Fisk. Behold the comparison and judge between the men. Which of the twnin would be most likely to shel honor upon tho name of Amor ca by being elected to the chief mag istracy of the nation ? To donbt the answer which will be given at the ballot-bos next Xovember would be to brand the-people with recreancy to the principles of their fathers, the tra ditions of theii? mothers, and their du ty to their God.- i i j a Tiik Futccr Mistres.? of the ' has left in the public treasury a eoiv White IIol.se: Miss Ida Greeley, siderabJe sum of money. In Xoveui eldest daughter of mr next President, ber, 1 857, President Cornonfort, made in-'view of the certainty- of beini! i hhn Secretary of State, fand subse- - al!ed upon to preside at the White House; is now the feminine sensation of tho day. She is nineteen years of age, and all accounts agree that she is 1 a- worthy child f an illustrious father. Being interviewed- by a correspond- i ent recently r regarding her ideas of politics generally,- and- Woman Suf frage iu particular, sho- said she had never thought much on the' Woman Suffrage question; but i she was per mitted to- vote she should certainly vole for Greeley. Ida is a sensible American girl and when she comes to be the President's daughter, we'll bet the soda she'll never make her coun trymen blush by flirting through Eu-'j epe, a la Nellie, the daughter of the Gift Taker. Stilt They Come. Hon. W!-L. Adams, the oldest and ablest Repub--! Jican editor m Oregon, declares inteution to support Greeley and Brown. Mr. Adams was for a num ber of years editor and publisher of . the Ar'jm at Oregon City. He wasf appointed Collector of Customs, at Astoria, by President Lincoln, at tho request of Col. E. D. Baker. lie is a profound thinker, aud one of tho ablest speakers in the State. He knows the corruption which is seated v lh places by Grant, and it he slumps the State we would advise waul s iaew.eys to 'taud from under. POSPgTIYE PRICE OP WIlPAT. Fanners arc now fairly at work saving their yrahiv Throntrhout the Willamette- Valley and in Southern j i Oregon there wilt he a good average ! In i Kasteru Oregon, and Washington Territory the yield is not so heavy per acre as last year, but more ground was sown last Spring than any previ ous ycur, and thut portion of the coun try will consequently have as largo or larger a surplus than heretofore. It is therefore safe to estimate the num ber ol bushels which will be thrown upon the market after harvest at a higher figure than tho surplus of last year. Perhaps it is not Jar out of the way to-say that one-third more grain will be shipped from Oregon this year tlum in 1871. Well posted farmers make this estimate, and some think the excess bo even greater. In regard to prices, data now avail able justifies the prediction that wheat will advance beforo tho season is ovef to 80 cents., and perhaps to a dollar. Xo valid reason has been given, in any of the market reports wo Lave seen, why it should not. I-rfttcst Eu ropean dates quote prices as high as last year, when buyers were ottering a dollar and upwards in this market. In our Eastern cities there is nothing to indicate a depression in the wheat market. Throught the western and middle States which supply tlx? east ern market, there has been but an average yield, so that there can be no depression in consequence of an in-1 crease of the surplus over last year, j France is reported to have raised a j small surplus over what its people j will consuine, which is better than she j done last year, and this is the only j country on tho globe named in any of j the market reports, where the crop of ; tno present year exceeds that .t last. It is said by some, that a want ol touage to export gram irom uregon j t 'i:r - ...:m i : a,mt 1u,Tiroiu, o, regret at leem.g o.wigci to mour wneai mai Kei. ims may oc j the case, at this time.

Competition will spring up, and that shortly. As the lack of tonage is the onlv reason given for the present dull stale of the wheat market, there is no cause for uneasi ness among the farmers in regard to prices remaining seriously low. The cause given for the present depression in the market, is one which will speed ily pass away, and we predict that farmers who hold on to ihtrir grain for a short time will fiud there is ' "luck iu leisure." DEATH CP A NOTED HAN. The name of Benito Juarez. Presi-! dent of the Mexican Republic, whose death was announced iu last week's dispatches, l:s long been familiar to American readers. ' He was born j in 1807 at a Tillage near Jatlau (at present- known a Villa Juarez), in the State of Ojaca. lie is descended from the pure aWgmai stock, and t t . II ! was born in humbVe circustances. He prepared himself for the profession of the lnv in which he gained distiction. Devoted to liberal ideas, he took an active part in politics as a member of the Legislature of his native State. lie successfully went through the ehole range of the judicial organiza tion of his State from tho position of Justice of Peace to that of presiding Judge. In 1840 he was elected Dep uty to the Constitutional Congress- in the City of Mexico. During the pe riod of peace he devoted himself to the opening of roads, the increase of primary and higher schools, and the reform of the financial administration; and on retiring from the government j j - , . j iqitently ho was appo.'ited President of the Supreme Court i Justice. t'ndeir Cornonfort, the liUnal policy which- Juarez advocated wjTS urged forwar-d, provoking the hostii.'ty of the Church party to an extreme, and laying, the foundation of those civil feuds which led to the invasion of the French and usurpation of3Iaximili.it.'. Juf rer became President in 1858, by the resignation of Comonfort, under a . . . ' provision of the .Mexican Constitu tion, which, in case ot vacancy, makes the Chief J ustice ex officio President."' His history since then, the part he took in the overthrow of Maximilian, and the bold: measures by which he retained his place as Chief Maistrate are familiar to- every , newsp aper reader. His death' is mourned by fhV best class of his countrymen, who , regards ed him as the prosonification of theiK ideas o government.- His indomita ble will gave the Mexican' Govern ment all that it possessed ol stability,. nnd what will be the result of his death, time alone will demonstrate Grant's pious organs allege tlrat Greeley is a Universalist aud throw up. their hypocritical eyes in holy horror thereat- Theodore Tilton trembles at tke thought of the future of Grant and hi, allies, provided Mr, Greeley's ro I ligious views weep incorcct GEN.

A few days since tho Chairman of tho Grant Committee at Lynn, Mass., invited him to address u Kadicul meeting tit that place, which honor he politely de clined, stating that ' against his wishes and his interests he is compelled to say that the perpetuation of tho pres ent policy of tho Government is not for the advantage of the country, and that it will not tend to establish its former prosperity nor to promote the interests of any class of citizens. Xo personal feelings of any former char acter enter into this judgment. It is in view of national pniiciplesand pulv lic interests alone that I am led to this Conclusion. I Uniting tho masses of all parties anil sections in support of grand results is indispensable to the ncrmaneut establishment and general recognition of those results. It can bo secured by no other means. We shall all be forced to this conclusion sooner or later. This united action upon this basis has been tho hope of my hi?. 1 fervently desired it. during the nr, and in tho reconstruction of the States after the war.

ECCLESIASTICAL WHITEWASH. Mr. Cramer is President Grant' brother in law. lie holds tho posi tion of Minister to Denmark, by Pres idential appointment. Cramer is de scribed as a course, uncouth man, without a suile iahticati.!i f..r tl posit inr he htdds. lie ha a , t)j weaki.ejs for bjch beer and is sr -U an iu-nramus that ho has been denied the onled to g'.nttemen, i iviicge. act of membtr.-l.ip in a social .bib in C j peiih.-igjii. In conseqtiMice of ... I ii s fact many American p-.pers urged his j recall. The Cimmnati Methodist Conference met nnd in answer to the t.j,.ir.,(.s m:ia a-'ainst Rro Cramer of incapacity as a Minister to a for eign court, resolved that Rro. Cramer was an h-nt ble, zealous follower off "t,,i ,n Ui:tt hlatc on 11,0 ,st' ai"1 My Ilim of Nazareth, and a much be-! t,,at tUti rt'M,lt "t,,ost hopeful for loved preac!!erof the Gospel under ! t:r!"t and Wilson."

He may be a perfect . "Snollegrier'' in that lino. Doubtless he is, and. if so, is it not a pity for him j to "wast; his sweetness on tho desert air" vainly endeavoring to play the roll of diplomat, for which neither nature nor education fitted him? Would 'id not have been more becom ing, had tho Cincinnati Conference, after endorsing the orthodoxy of Rro. Cramer, assigned him a circuit out West where ho could exercise his ministerial talent to some purpose ? When a conclave of Christian minis ters descend to the low calling of smearing ecclesiastical white-wash over such a man as Cramer, just to tickle a venal President, they cease to deserve, respect and should be held up to public scorn. On, Mosr..s: The following extract is from the pen of Mrs. A. J. Duui way : "It is well known in Vancouver that Grant, while here, was afliicted with the worst stages of delerium, tremens. And further, a man named Lovelace, who was in his employ, used regularly in the evenings to take him to the worst type- of Indian y& . carriage ami gr inter urn , . . . ....... next morning, ius pronigacy while heto was common talk among the boys on the street." " General lngalls, now luarter- mastcr General, was one of General Grant's "Vancouver chums. He hail madatto and half-breed children there; but while he gathered them up and ed noted them, and has lately taken them' home, tjenerat (.mint leaves his aborginal offspring to hunt and dig camas." ' ! Mrs. Duniway is now a. zealous supporter of Grant. Really there is no accounting for tastes. Poor Soi.-ls. It is truly affecting to witness the amount of feeling man ifested by the Oretonian and 'other Grant organs over " the" l&st glory and traditions of the Dioeratic party." Poor, weeping."

Forney says that Cameron has helped to steal half a million dollars from Pennsylvania, and yet. Cameron is supported by Grant. It is now supposed that.

Such is the deliberate opinion of Grant domination held by a fife long Republican. . The wife of R.
