What are the Democrats dmnjr, or
what have they done for the good of
the SoutU? With all their loud pro
fessioiis of love and sympathy nil
they have done for the Southern
States was to lead them into war and
then desert them. And to day, what
Democrat is engaged in instructing
the negroes or poor whites, and fitting
them for the tremendous responsibil.
ities which have been thrown upon
them by the civil convulsion of the
past six years? What Democrat in
all this land is helping one jot or tittle
towards proetical reconstruction?
They will swear at Congress, defend
a Memphis or a New Orleans mob,
decry the Union officers, apologize
for Andrew Johnson, flout and sneer
at what is being done to elevate the
colored race, or help the whites, by
n?, but not one iota will they do
themselves. The horrid traces of
war are being smothered from the
face of the land; peace is returning
and with it plenty, order, and quiet;
restoration is progressing, the waste
places are being rebuilt, and one by
one the lost stars reappear in the na
tional constellation, but r.o thanks for
all this to the Democracy. They
have stood r.Joof.
What more damaging judgment
could be pronounced upon a political
party than this record which they
have made for themselves? Is such
a parry fit to be entrusted with the
reins of the government? Is it a
proper one to administer the affairs
of the nation? For seven years the
Democratic party has now been but
an opposition a mere negation.
It has existed but as a protest against
otir nationality; What rbdit has it
i o
to ask for a voice in the government
of a country and a nation which lives embrace of a single steamship Corn

OPPOSITION WASTED.
Tuesday dray and trucks were
busily engaged in hauling flour from
the wharves and other places to store
houses on First street, says Ihe Her
aid of Thursday every available
room, storehouse and tenement, on
Front street being filled to its very
utmost capacity. Mr. Dills, Presi
dent of the Portland Dray and Hack
Company, stated yesterday that there J
was at the very lowest figure, 7,000 f
tons of Oregon productions now-awaiting
shipment, and that a fair estimate
of the amount arriving in the city
would not be less than 300 tons dai
ly. This great amount of produce
and merchandize on hand awaiting
shipment, will increase and not di
minish; and this is owing to the want
of transportation. No other parties
are directly chargable with this great
lack of tonnage than the California,
Oregon and Mexico Steamship Com
pany. We have stated before, and
upon reliable information can state
again, that the capable agent resident
in this city, George W. YWtdler,
Esq, has written aud telegraphed to
the management iu San Francisco
begging them to put on additional
steamships, but they will not listen
to him, and why ? Do they know
that eventually they will be the car
riers of all this immense quantity of
freight to market at their own char
ges and have they confidence in the
ability of the great monopoly to buy
off any opposition which might have
the temerity to "try a hand" with
the incorporation of whk-h Den.
Ilolladay is the chief capitalist and
manager We may be in error
when we entertain the thought that
the Company may eventually Dud
they have been "penny wise and
pound foolish." How is it that the
great producing State of Oregon finds
itself litrhlly clasped in the mercenary
avaricious Company from the throat i
- i
of our commerce and re eve t of the
incubus which ifivcts every producer,
merchant and jobber in this section
or the fetate ; Hie sober second
thought of the General Agent or Pres
ident of the C. O. and M. S. Compa
ny would certainly teach him that to
answer the demands of our commerce
is certainly the best way to keep off
opposition ; the very best manner in
which to make the trude a financial
success, and above ail the most ad
mirable method by w hich I he favor
and patronage of those shippers.who.se j
favor is worth securing, can be per- j
mantly maintained is by furnishing j
the transportation necessary. What
we have said is in behalf of our own
requirements, and not throuiih anv ill

The Diffkuence. Not long ago
a gentleman passed over the route to
Sacramento from Portland, ar.d he
communicates his thoughts to thc
Avalanche. We known him to be a
gentleman by the remarks he makes:
Those portions of the road not
mentioned from Portland to Tehama,
I in this State, were easily passed over,
i their bottom being either solid clav,
or clay and gravel, or gravel un
mixed. In the Summer season thc
trip to Sacramento is made regnlarly
in six days, and a most delightful
ride it must be. Every variety ol
landscape is in sight each day. Val
leys and mountains of all dimensions
and soils of powerful fertility con
stantly greet the eye in some direc
tion; brooks and roaring rivers are
frequently passed, as also, are prai
1 ries and !orests. The eye is never
wearied as the scenes are continual
ly varying, and the mind is interest
ed anew at each mile of progress.
The northern portion of Oregon has
the largest vuiiey the Willamette;
but the southern section has the most
charming ones and of equal fertility.
The northern has the most and heavi
est timber, and any part enough con
venient for all practical purposes.
The State is full of undeveloped re
sources. There are many thousands
i of acres of good valley lands, yetopen
j to location either by entry or homc
! stead, and both slopes of the Cascades
I ar.d Coast Mountains are full of miti-
ends precious and otherwise.

j language of that other fellow, who

" abolitionists,'' etc., as given in the

COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,
AVcckly Commercial Review.
ExTEH PRISE OrriCE,
Oregon- City. March tfth. 1SCS. f
A correspondent at Oregon City sends the
following communication for publication,
says the Herald. Our first impulse was to
reject it. for fear that its publication would
be regarded as an unwarrantable inter
ference in the legitimate business of others,
but upon a second persual can see no ob
jection to its insertion. It casts no reflec
tions upon the P. T. Company nor does it
extol any virtues of the Willamette Navi
gation Company. The article teems iu
perfect consonance with armed neutrality,
which we intend shall be our position in
such matters. The communication is
dated Feb. 26, and is as follows :
'Competition is the Life of Trade."
That we believe, is one of the great max
ims of the American people. Where one
can go another can follow ; if trade is
good for one party, nine times out of ten
it is good for another party if it be pushi d
with a determination to carry out the un
dertaking. We care not if the parly controls a cap
ital of ten thousand or of a million dollars,
if they are causing greater facilities to be
granted to the public in the way of travel
or traflic they deserve the patronage of
that public, and will receive more or less
of it.
Ia regard to the opposition, so called,
among the steamboat, companies on the
Willamette river above Portland, already
quite a beneficial result has been attained,
iiutsinuch as two boats leave Portland for
Oregon City daily, and rice versa, except
ou Sundays for the P. T. Company. For
a length of time they have had only one
boat running, and if a resident of Oregon
City wished to do any business in Pin t
land, either in batik or with a wholesale
merchant, he had either to go by land or
u the J'. T. Company's boats ; and al
though their hour of departure was noini
mally 1 o'clock p. m., it was frequently 2,
:! or 4 o'clock p. m., the detention being
caused by the delay of the upper boat,
and if they had wheat to discharge or Hour
to take on at Mihvaukie it would proba
bly be night when they arrived at Port
laud, making a necessary absence to the
traveler from Oregon Citv, to do business
that might be dono in thirty minutes in
busU.es 5 hours, of one day and two nights;
a severe tax.
The first steamers on the Willamette
were small, but did good business, and
were a great accommodation to the pub
lic. The idea of talking of the P. T. Com
pany having enemies in the light of oppo
sition, is simply ridiculous. What the

tonishing how much better the community
K'-Tally served under it.
On this subject the panic paper gives
the following prices of freight upon the
nivigable waters of the Valley, .so far as
able to ascertain them. The prices have
been reduced on the Willamette and Yam
hill rivers :
