The Election.
Wo havo not tlmo or opportunity nt
present to say much Sn relation to the
approaching election. Tho candidates
for State offices havo In part passed
through this county, and discussed the
sovernl questions thnt they liavo pro
soiitud, hut generally of a prlvnlo or
porsonnl nature.
L. F. G rover, tho Dcmocrntic enndi
dsto for Congress, tins plnced himself
boforo the peoplo of Southern Oregon
upon n stiro nnd proper basis, indors
ing tho Democratic National Platform
of 1650, and tho administration of
James Buchanan, and Ilia legal force
of tho decision of tho Supremo Court
in tho Drcd Scott case. He is a no
tlnnnl Democrat, for tho Union and the
wliolo Union. With his experience
nnd opportunity, few, if any, wilt doubt
his capacity to servo us in Congross,
nnd thnt no man enn ho sent who is
more familiar with our War debt and
would he moro likely to obtain an ap
propriation to pay that which tho pco
plo of Southern Oregon nro so justly
entitled to thnt which It has been tho
ohjoct of tho opposition to tho Demo
crntic party to slander, abuse, nnd
chnrgo as having beon originally Insti
tuted for tho sake of plunder, and car
ricd on in such n muincr ns to com
mit robbery on tho Treasury of tho
United States.
Tlioso falio nnd slanderous charges
havo becomo stale, and to a consider
able extent nbnndoned, but tho people
ol Southern Oregon want a friond to
tho mcasuro in Congress, and ono who
knows' and will do his duty In obtain,
ing tho appropriation to pay our war
debt. G rover will do this if elected. '
Junoc Deady, tho candidato for
Judgo of tho first Judicial District un
der tho Constitution, Is walking over
tho track without opposition. He Iiks
not been canvassing for tho oflice, but
has been holding Courts ami attending
to tho duties of his office in adminis
tering tho laws.
I'l.. T...I -- I ...
iuu juugc una no opposition nt pre.
sent, nnd that which has heretofore ex.
istod Is passing off. Wo only hear n
distant random shot fired by somo re
trcaling opponent only as n signal, that
although tho enemy are scattered they
havo taken ambush In somo recess, to
Chescknt Citv Road. Wo under

ccptablo to you to hear from your
neighboring county how wo are flour
ishlug, moro especially nt tho present
lime, when politics is tho theme of all,
discussed in tho bar room nnd nt the
family fireside, I write you.
Tho Democrats hnvo hold their Con- j
vontlon nnd nominated their ticket, i
composed of good sound Democrats,
If they should succeed, vWio is to wenr
the laurels t Hut for tho firm : First
comes my old friond Rriggs, Gov. Geo.
E."Driggs. Lot us examine his polit
lcnl career;' what claims has 'he upon
tho'Natlonnl Democratic party, if they
are, as they claim to be, the truo par
ty f Wbsro do wo first find him, but
in the ranks of tho opposition party,
under the r.amo of tho "People's Tick-
o," trying end using his influcnoo to
defeat Gen. Lane. Noxt wo find him
in the Gaines campaign against Gen.
Lnno, soatcd in n hollow log on the
banks of Althouse, whero Tom Dryer
was administering tho solemn oath of
Know Nothing. Foreign citrons of
Josephino county, will you voto for a
man who is sworn to proscribo you I
"Think boforo you act." Will you
voto a man to a station wherohis lnflu

wo find him voting for Lavrson and
Watklns; of tho latter I will speak
moro hereafter; of tho former thero is
not subject enough to talk.
Next comes Dr. Wm. Wntktns. The;
nearest thing I can comparo him to is
Joseph's coat of many colors. Ho has
beon everything, whero tho filthy lucre i
could bo obtained. Whilst ho extends'
tho right hand of fellowship to tho no
gro, ho is ready to smito him with his
left, for tho sake of his mania, oflice
holding. Whilst at homo and in iioart
ho Is n Black Abolitionist, ho has tn
ken tho oath of a Know Nothing ; nnd
in the contest for delegates to tho Con

Hark well declaring himself n ttuo

Steamboat Accident. Tho new

the Cascades, by Messrs. Thomnson Ai
Coe, for tbo Dalles and Walla Walla1
trade, was carried over the Cascade
Falls on Wednesday, the 12lh. Strange
as it may appear, but one lifo was lost

boat was loved ashore In a sinking
condition near Castle Rock, two miles
below the falls, by the steamer 3oi.n-
ta'm Iiuek.
v?0 ident happened, we
are notlfiformed, but supnose it was
one of those occurrences where nobody
wns to blame. The man who was
drowned, (as we learn,) jumped over
board and attempted to swim to a rock
in the rapids. The current was ao
strong that be was engulphed beneath
the foaming torrent and wa. seen no
more. Oregoniatt.
