When rebels refer to the gain 0 they made in the vote of New York, J-hey ignore the war, as they do here in all of their speeches. The Trib vne, in showing that tlie 50,000 mas jority which New York gave to make Abraham Lincoln President, no lon ger exists, says: Its blood fertilizes the hungry soil of irginia along tlie bankseof the Chickabominy, the Ilapahannock, the James, and the Appomattox; its sa cred dust hallows the slopes by Gaine's Mill, by Malvern Hill, by Groveton, jilong the Antietam, by the bights of 1'reaVrkksburg, and of Gettysburg in that blood -soaked Wilderness v here our gallant Wadsworth gave QU life to his country, and along the deadly linesof Coal Ilarbor wherejPor ter fell at the head of his men.

And that is just about the measure of our actual majority to-day, after offsetting the monstrous frauds in naturalization and in vot ing whereby we are inevitably swin dled in this city. Gen. J. W. Jasper who runs the Lafayette Courier, challenged Gov. Gibbs to a public discussion the other evening. At the close, when the doughty little Jasper W. had settled down so that his cars only kept him out of his boot legs, he complained of being sick, naturally tobc expected under the circum stances of course. How is that monkey tow Jasper does he get cherries or sheep dirt, or Bdo you know the difference? The rebels make a great blow over the facthat black men vote in the Terricories. Their party gained nil the votes that we hear of, on acs count of this, in Oregon and Wash ington Territory.

Ben Hayden, once familiarly known as " Dirty Ben,1' harrangned the De mocracy in this place, last Saturday. Barring his indisposition to tell the truth, when a lie will answer as well, and a neglected education, Ben is the first speaker in the rebel ranks. Somebody who took tho trouble to count, found out how many times be used the words "Democratic P-a-r-t-y in his speech, but we forget how many hundred it was. In the languages of the Partington, he is the most fluid speaker we ever listened to. Con sidering the average grade of the Democratic intellect, weakened and frightened as it is, by the horned dan gers of negro equality, Ben Ilayden undoubtedly comes nearer the brains of the party, than any man they have. Among other stupid blunders, Ben had the " Long Parliament," sitting in secret session to try Charles the Third. This was good enough history for Democratic ears, of course, though probably Ben himself knows no bet ter. The only mistake is that it was not the Long Parliament, nor Charles the Third. He gave Stanton the name which the Day Book more justly applied to Andy Johnson when the events took place, calling him a murderer worse than Caligula for allowing the execu tion of Mrs. Surratt. Such old Dem ocratic arguments, as " The Jacobin Hump Congress" and epithets of that style flowed freely, closing, he told his hearers he was coina East of the ! mountains to see Pap Price's Boys. Good Fellows they are too, said Ben, and good Democrats of course, which was followed byr a Democratic cheer. COPPEIUIEAO VEXOM. Ben Ilayden, by nature a traitor in all his instincts', imitates the "Brick Pomeroy style"' of logic, by a liberal use of Five Points Democratic bil lingsgate in his addresses before the species. lie exhausts the rogues vo cabulary, iu an attempt to aspire the character of men who like him self, turned their back on the Demo cratic rebellion but utterly unlike him iu all things else; for after de nounciiig traitors and treason in un measured terms, Ben Hat den, a dis appointed candidate for ojjice in the Union Parly proved himself twice a traitor, by creeping back into the Copperhead den. This is just on a par with the foul slang which Beriah Brown pitches at men immensely his betters in every tricl Commander, Gen. Alvord, that geullemanly accomplishment, because ' fine and elevated christian gentleman, forsooth, they decline any further af- h id the utmost confidence in him. filiation with the rebel party.

This proud banner we expect to carry "full high advanced," leading the van of civili zation, till the last relic of barbarism, Modern Democracy, in Our Own Land, nud every form of despotism in other lands, is buried under the waves of a fiery indignation flowing from the true hearts of the people. Union Speech. Hon. J. II. Mitchell gave the people of this city and county, one of the most eloquent speeches of the campaign, on last Saturday evening. This was the last shot at the rebels before our city election on Monday, and went through the flimsy defences of mod eran democracy, like a thousand pounder through a board fence. The speech, occupying between two and three hcurs. was listened to with rapt attention, except when emotion could no longer be suppressed, and cheers spoke out the old fishioned Union enthusiasm which nerved true sons of the Republic in the contest with the hydra of Democratic seces sion and rebellion. Correction. The Herald says "after Mr. Ralston's election, a strong Republican precinct was add ed to Oregon City, to guard against subsequent accidents of this kind." This refers to the election one year ao last Mcndav, but is without foun dation in fact, as a change of precinct lines in the body of the county has nothing to do with the city vote what ever. We suppose the Herald will not correct its misstatement, as it was designed to dodge the effect of the Union victory by a Democratic lie. The Unionist and the Oregon imi both congratulate the Democracy f.l,: ... r U1 11,13 CUUIU ou U1B "cee.Muu u.

On Wednesday evening our Ore gon Boy, who has been waking the Union echos among tho hiils of New Hampshire, and throughout the East ern States, spoke in this city. As the Court House would not hold all who wished to attend, a stand and seats were hastily erected in the open air, and thus all had an opportunity to hear one of the most tremenduous onslaughts on Copper head Democracy that has ever beeu made. For three hcurs, the Demo cratic record of perfidy, treason, rebel lion, and murder, was exposed to an assault not less scathing than truths ful. They claim " immutable princi plcs." Gov. Woods exposed these princi with merciless accuracy, to consist in treachery, and that they did cul minate iu the infamy of the rebel lion. By these boasted principle, the country was filled with widows and orphans, and the land ran with blood. By these principles we mourn an army of dead; two hundred thous and true hearts stilled, strong men laid low in the pride of their strength. Touched as with Ithuiial's spear these principles stand exposed in all their hideous deformity, and Democrats shrink abashed while the blazing light of Truth flashes over the party record, which they cannot escape, for it is written in History. Next morning, curses loud and deep, came with hissing bitterness frum copperhead lips. They are sore with the sense of a " Lost Cause " and hopeless infamy. M..VJOJR J. S. IllXEAUSOX. The following letter from a Lieu tenant, who has beaten his sword in to a plow-shear, and is pursuing the occupation of an agriculturist in Ma rion county, will be read with inter est by the friends of Major J. S. Ri nearson, and we hope it will set aside some of the bosh of those assassins, whose sole dependence in this contest is to evade the truth on our side, and make a lie stick on their own: Marion- Coi-ntv, May 5th 1S0S. En. ExTKriPiusK : As evil designing men, for selfish purposes, are trying to blacken the private character of Maj. J. S. Hi nearson, who is the Union candidate for Sheriff in your count', I as one of the men who had the honor of serving as a soldier under the Major, in the 1st Oregon Cavalry for three years, deem it my duty to say that no man in the regiment had more ful ly the love aud confidence of bo'h the enlisted men and officers, than M.-nor Pinrnrsnn. Our worthy Di.s- he acted wisely in so doing. Capt. Porter a Democratic officer was sent up there as Quartermaster. The same Porter who attempted to bribe a member of the Legislature to vote for Nesmith. This man Porter at tempted to swindle the Government, aud what was the result? Did ma jor Rinearson go in with him? 2fot much. As soon as he saw what Por ter was attempting, which did not take long, he placed him under arrest, and had him tried by a court martial. The Major's course in building this post displayed so much business abil ity, and honesty7, that the next year, when the great post .at Boise, the largest east of the Cascade mouns tains was to be built, Rinearson was again selected to perform the ardus ous task, and there, as before, thwart ed all attempts to swindle the Gov ernment. The Major was a modle officer, a true soldier, and a gentle man and I am sure that his record for honesty, loyalty, and business qualifications entitle him to the con fidence and support of every loyal man in Clackamas county. Although I have no local interest in the affairs of Clackamas county, allow me to say that the Union men of your coun ty have chosen a man who is in every way worthy to be the next Sheriff. Celi eving that justice should be done though the Heavens fall, without any personal interest whatever, I make these statements. JOIIX B. DIMICK. The Gazette says it has opposed the Salem Company, because Cor valiis is on the west side of the river, " and it is but natural for us to sym pathize with efforts on this side." " That having been called the East side road," continues the Gazette. "It is not strange that our people should have stroig fears, not wholly groundless, of being left out in the cold. We have always been told by Mr. Chenoweth that the company were not responsible for the word East; that their true name, expres sive of the real character Gf their road, is the Oregon Central Railroad, and if we realize what he appears so sanguine of a crossing at this j pace we wjU thu3 h3ve that kird of j agsurance that will justify us in giv. ! jng to t,:s sreat enterprise all the aid j ju,. power.

Wc give place to the following article froni the Irish People, a very influential paper in New Yi f k city. All the better class of Irish Ameri can journals support the Union party, and we reproduce this article as an in dication of their general tone and sen timent : The grand contest for political su premacy has Commenced in earnert the campaign for the Presidency of the United States for the next four years Jias been fairly inaugurated. In New Hampshire the first battle has been fought, and, after a severe struggle, victory has been declared on the radical side. While, the guns of the victors were proclaiming the glad tidings to friends and sympathiser-!, important conventions were be ing held in the two leading States of the Union conventions called togeth er for the purpose of appointing del egates who shall have the power of nominating candidates for the highest offices in the gift of the people. At this early stage of the cam paign we desire to call the earnest attention of our countrymen to the action of these conventions, or, rath er, to the "declaration of principles" it ... t . ? 11 1 t 1 1 1 I rehoiuuous auopieu iy each, and i which should, in a measure, foreshad- ow men iepecue pontics in me iu- A. I ture. The " declaration'' of the Demo crats assembled at Albany is brief, though comprehensive, as regards the views of that party in the domes uc cnairs or tue country, un Hie j questions of Reconstruction, Finance j unu Laxauon, me expressions are clear, explicit and determined. In truth, nothing more could be desired by the followers w ho take an interest in those matters alone. But some thing more was expected by the for. eign born, and especially the lrish boin, voters of the State. It was ex pected that a strong clause would be inserted in favor of the rights of nats uralizcd citizens aye, and that some forcible expressions would be put forth proclaiming sympathy, if not actual support, for the strutting na tions of the old land. No such j clause appeared. The rights of nat- j uraliz.'d American citizens and the cause of struggling humanity were entirely ignored by the leaders of the Democratic party in the State of j New York. Mark this, fdlowcoun.. ! try men. Saehr nis of old Tammany, ( we tell you plainly and squarely that, if we can help it, the English oligar chy shall iid longer effectively manip ulate, however stealthily and indi rectly, the It ih Nation in America, working it both against the freedom of Ireland and against the advance- . e i :.. ?.. mem o. popumi e.e.gmy n. lojie iii'ouu una ii'iiujib .itmy j prostituting the name of Democracy to serve the ends of foreign despots in combatting democratic progress among their downtrodden sells iu the old world.

That they shall not be the rulers of Amer ica also, we- shall spare no tft'oit of ours in order to strip the Democrat ic fleece from off the backs of any monarchial or oligarchial wolves who may be striving to a fleet an entrance into the popular fold in this republic. The Republicans of Pennsylvania assembled in Philadelphia at the same time and for the same purpose, j At this convention a series of resolu tions were passed, embodying the principles of the party, and advoca-j tint: the nomination 01 a uistui?uishs ed so'dier as candidate for the Pi es- 1 idencv. But. whether more eenerous or more wise than the Democracy of j ei " A New Southern subscription cw York, the Republicans inserted j Book," in the Lafayette Courier, be the following resolution in their plat j ing the campaigns of Lieut Gen. N. B. lonri : JtisoJvrd. That every American citizen, whether by birth or adoption, is entitled to the protection of the nation and its Hag, and while it is incumbent on the govern ment to initiate negotiations for the estab lishment of international law. expatriation, recognizing naturalization by one nation as terminating the allegiance due to an other, and conferring all rights of citizen ship, il is no less its dutj- to vindicate its people of all classes from oppression or interference at home and abroad when in the legitimate and peaceful exercise of legal ami personal rights. Now, although this resolution is not as forcible as we may desire, it shows, at least, that the party who put it forth are mindful of the rights of the naturalized citizens ; it shows lint ri'liir tV T !imrcrniv f !V & nr ,, r (irk- fotfd v mnoro a sf.encft ot a Fgreat political power a power j that has aided materially in placing ! them in the position they hold today j luougn iney may not iaiter one inch in their domestic programme, they are prepared to go to almost any extremes in their foreign policy for the purpose of securing tne Irish vote. We would warn the Democracy of America Jn time. The leaders must not rest under the belief that because our people have heretofore followed them almost blindly, that they will continue to do so through neglect and insult. Tlie politicians with Irish names, who profess to speak in behalf of our race, care no more for Ireland than they do for Italy or Franco, and not half as much as they do for Rome. The real Iriah Nation of America will no longer be galled by them and thpir fellow wire pullers. "We want the friends -of Ireland to come out boldly in favor of those who favor Irish nationality ; and we here declare that, so far as in our power lies, we will work heaven and earth in opposing those who do not, by word and act, advance our cause. A gentleman, recently a demo crat, said that if Smith, or any other man, would tell as plainly why men should be Democrats, as does Gov. Woods why they should not, he would think more of it. It is not a mcng the possibilities to show why men should be Democrats unless it is for the purpose of destroying the THE DEMOCRATIC SOMIVEES. We have received no information of the names placed in nomination by the Democrats of this county--but is known that the Calchas clique, v.ith Calchas left out, are the men. A Democrat, who informs us that he is not one of the Calchas kidney, soys: " Believing as I do that the Myers wing of the Democratic party have acted very unfairly in regard to their nominations. 1 shall exercise the right of a Jeffersonian Democrat iu giving their proceedings to the public. In the out start I will say that it is acknowledged by the whole af the Republican party that Capt. Hedges is a stronger man then John Myers by one hundred votesj and out side of polities, there is not a more popular man in this county. Not withstanding Mr. Myers labored hard to defeat Capta'n Hedges arti r the two candidates had agreed not to say or do anything towards secur ing the nominations, but to leave it entirely to the people, Mr. Myers did canvass this county while Captain Hedges remained at home. The people know that Captain Hedges received a majority of the votes cast, an(J Uiat he was announced candidate for Sheriff by the committee, but af- ter the committee had none to their ' homes Mr. Myers said that some one had made a mistake in voting for Hedges that had intended to vote for him, which would make it a tie, so it wculd be necessary for the com miitee to reassemble and proclaim ,i10 candidate ngah. But Captain Hedges said as the committee were all Myers men he would resign at once aud save farther trouble. 1 will close by saying that most any one may wire work until they receive a nomination, but it requires consider able wire working to get elected af terwards.''

The people of Walla Walla are alive to their interests. lne Eewiston Journal thinks Mr- Dolph made the speech, on the occasion of breaking ground at East Portland, and quotes the following paragraph not for its beauty of lan guage but the truth contained therein: " A still more important enterprise to this state is the Northern Pacific Railroad, uniting the great lakes with Puget Sound, destined to be the great thoroughfare across the Conti nent over which the great Continent of Asia, with its six hundred mil ions of inhabitants, will oour its commerce." The rails for the Union Pacific have been laid on the Western grade of the highest smmit on that line be tween the two great oceans S.20O feet above tide water. So Durant President of the Union Pacific says to Stanford President of the Ceiw tral Pacific, and Stanford replies: " We received your greeting w ith pleasure.

Contracts will soon be let to grade the road from Yallejo towards Oakland, California. The route hav ing been selected and surveyed last summer. Railroads arc the leading topics of discussion up the valley. Corvallis and Albany are both becoming rec onciled to the East side, which has been a terror to them, some how, iu time past. Commencement city lias been laid off, at the head of Payallup, 17 miles above Seattle, as the terminus of the Northern Pacific When it is decided that the terminus will be at Commercomet.t, a city as large Port land will spring up inside of one year. The wealth of the Indies comes naturally to the Pacific shores at Puget Sound first. Judge Chenoweth, in a letter to the Gazette under date of April 29th, thus refers to the directors meeting, held at Salem, on the 27 lh: " A large amount of business was trans acted. The people of Benton county can have nothing to fear; the contract bringing the road to Corvallis will be carried out according to its spirit and intention. Messrs. A. J. Cook ec Co., offer to enter into a written agreement,;' binding themselves to brin; the main trunk of the road across the river at Corvallis, and ex tending it thence on the west side to Eugene City. This is setting out in terms, just what the contract was in tended to be, and what the contrac tors then meant to have fully agreed to. The proposition to abandon the contract, which fixes definitely the points to be run to, by the road, by leaving Corralli, Albany, and per haps Salem, miles to the west, has never been seriously entertained. Of course it is not expected that our people will be called on to subscribe stock utitil this supplemental agree meiit is entered into, which will soon be done. I have no fear of 'he con tract being abandom-d. The Gazette devoted much of its space to railroads last week, and con cludes sensibly as follows: " That no other secular interest can compare with the advantages to be derived from railroads through our State. It is true, newspaper articles will not build railroads; but they are a very convenient medium through which railroad men may communi cate with the people, upon whom tiny are dependent for support. It ; is unfortunate that a misunderstand ing or clash should have occurred in the iucipiency of our railroad pro j"ct. But th-? general rood, and the financial interests of both companies, wc think, will have a tendency to harmonize and unite what may now be considered rival companies. No sensible person, who is at all convcrs ant with the history, or statistics of railroads, will oppose either. O.i the contrary, wisdom wou'd dictate that all aid, national, state, county and municipal, should be extended to 1'oth. 't here is no question that two roads will pay handsomely in Oregon. No country was ever injured by too many railroads. Let them come, the sooner the better." . T? .-- The Pain Killer Is both an internal and external remedy.
