0 I THE INDEPENDENT. Hillsboro, November 27, 1871. Our cfcns;es will please di rect their- paper to HiUsboro from (his date. The Bulletin Dictates. The Eulletot editor asserts that the Independents in Oregon are all go ing ;back to tne old parties. He says that there are no Independents to be found at Forest Grove, but that they have become Republicans of the "straightest sect." And con cludes with the following remark: Let the rank.and file come back, but let their leaders go to the dogs." Gaston is a mercifnl conqueror. A statesman ,he knows how to deal out mercy and justice in equal propor tion so as to win back the mistaken crowd and punish their leaders with forfeiture and exile; a philosopher, his blood and judgment are so nice ly commingled that in the inidst of the broken cannon, "hacked swords and universal slaughter- of hi3 ene mies he can calmly declare iu plain Anglo Saxcn, "Let the rank and file come back, but let the leaders go to the dogs !" Quomjue tandem abutere patient to O Catilina ! The Bulletin editor, a ducat fihrewd hanger-on of HippLi and Holladay, having no hope of politi cal resurrection either with the damned or the just, can afford to brave the people thus. But it cer tainly does take an ocean of cheek in any man where defeat ha3 crushed his party (faction ?) to denounce and dictate terni3 to the victors. Ve say victors, for the Independent par ty were victorious in the lust election in this State.having elected a plural ity in the House in a single cam paign. Like Scott, Gaston-, in thi one splenetic boyish squib, demon strates that he is not fit to represent - tlie interests or reflect the sentiments of his party. Instead of using his position as editor of a leading Re publican organ in healing the dis sensions and uniting the factions of his party he uses the very means put in his hands to sow new dissensions and create new divisions. If the Independent party of Oregon should die and go back to the politi cal parties which it left the work it accomplished and atiempted in the last Legislature was well worth the trouble of its birth. It was the first Legislature we have had in fifteen years that was not the author of, cor rupt legislation: Such being the record of the Independent party in Oregon if it should die it can do so with honor. And if its members should go back to the old parties it is to be hoped that they will have a wholesome influence on the efTete, corrupt and dominant parties. But it is contrary to all philosophy, and to allexperience in American politics, that an upright party shall have such a short life. The people or Oregon need the Independent party, and an Independent victory in our next State election will demonstrate the fact. The Bulletin statement that there are no Independents to be found at Forest Grove is a mistake, not of the "Bulletin editor, but of a "gan grened" Collector of Customs who was out there recently. The men in this county who were Independents in the late campaign are Independ ents still. Get Up Clubs. Now is the time to get up tlub3 for the Independent. For a club of five ubscribers we will send the In dependent a year for$10; for a club of 10 subscribers we will send the Independent a yar for $20, and a copy free to the getter up of the club.

A DYING MAN KICKS. Fditou Independent : There is an old adage we have heard some where, to the effect that it is dangerous to poke a dying ass in the Hank. AjiprojxHf to this is the very laughable manner in which our county officials had this saying brought to their remembrance imme diately after the election. Our Coun Jndge, Co. Clerk and Sheriff were condoling with each other upon the dangerous symptom of this hereto fore useful animal in the shape of our Senator, and just as our Clerk had meekly, pronounced him .lead, the aforesaid animal let go with both feet planting a pair of No. lis right square into the bread basket of County Judge knocking 6100 off of his official salary per annum. The query is now who the people &hr 11 thank fortIii3 "reform," the ass, or the man that '-poked" him. Obsekvek Weddinu Torn Jacob Hoover Jr. and his young bride of Steilacoom W. T. reached the home of his par ents in this county last week on their wedding tour. His wife, formerly Miss Klla Harmon, is the daughter of Hon. Hill Harmon of Steilacoom. Jake was elected Representative to the "YV. T. Leguihtture at the late election on the Democratic; ticket and from a Republican district, and is said to be the first native born cit izen elected to the Legislature eith er in W. T. or Oregon. Jake was born iu this county in 1811, gradu ated in the Classical Course at the Pacific University in the class of '08 '00, and received the degree of A.M. in 1872. Immediately after gradua ting he moved to "V. T. where he be gun the study of law and was admit ted to practice in two years we be lieve from the time of his gradua tion, since which time he has closely applied himself to the practice ' of his profession and lias by a faithful, intelligent and upright course built up a lucrative b.nmeii in Pleivo county where he lives. Jakj is a liberal in politics and will labor for the interests of the pe pie whether it suits his paity or n- t. Wo need many such legislator! just at this time. We congratulate him on hi i good fortune, and with so fair and good a life partner we think his fu ture success and happiness sec uied TrALATiN precinct is going to have a postmaster. XV.
