Thoee, therefore, who dir te contribute to the advance' meat of the Territory, by the publication of fcett concerning it, or th-we rho may with to write upon other subjects, by obeaning thU rule, will not only relieve tat from the unpleasant necessity of resect. fjkg their contributions, but will thereby are lb publication of euch facte, con I with our country, at may be con. beet calculated to advance its Interest! permanently, in the eyes of the world. These conditions complied with, we shall be very happy to hear from you Mmsisleri the Clvemr We have for weeks and weeks past, patiently listened to the continued and uncalled for attacks ol tho SUitttman edl. lor upon the GovciAer of this Territory, not ooly in hie publio but private charac ter, Stepping aside from the notice of thoe acts, oyer which all concede him, as others, the right of inspection ; he is car ried, so far, by ihe intensity of his passion and jealous political rage, that he even assails his individual reputation,' and heap upon hjm the most unqualified bus. In the mind, ef the consid erate and honest of all parties, the. thing hav excited wonder and astonish. ment. Ignorant of the causes which gave rise to sucb, (to them) uuprovoltd at saulls, it caused inquiry and invettigalion and resulted In the conviction of all who1 torngkt information, that the charges wtnfaUt, aato facts, bate io their origin, and instigated by the basest and most seltlh of political motives. This being Ihe conviction on the part of our readers, we wuld not now occupy the .pic or time necessary to a recapitulation of these charges, were it not for the fear that some more removed from the scene of opera, lions, may not have had the means of learning the truth in tho matter within their reach, and from thu continued rant, iu'g of the Slattrman, licneilty think that isrhtpt there may bo some truth in these' oft. repeated allegation.. Among other thing., he accuci the Governor ef nfeiouinttt, and all udc. to his ettnbtbh. ing, by proclamation, the time and place of holding elections in Umpqua and Lane couotiei, The history o( this affair, is simply, 'hit efle." the adjournment of the Legislature last winter, upon examination, it was found that no "time norplice" wis specified for thv holding of tho election, in thoee counties, and tho Governor very properly supplied tl.oomisiion .Bui surely, says Ih reader, this alone coutd not fur nish reason sufficient for so much and bitter abuse ! No, by io means ; thfi was tho hot of the unparu'nahlj offence. The reason was simply this: at the lime of the issuing of the proclamation alluded lo, it was, and still is well known, that, in all probability, those counties would have given an overwhelming majority in favor of Gen. Lamc for Delegate lo Congress in opposition to the then present iocumbent ! Be it remembered that the Staltnum "editor was transported hither txpreiily Tot the service of the deceased Delegate f That he was bought for a price! and bound by iuterest and engagement to his service II and hence, that anything lend ing to endanger bis second election, must b inttantly guarded agklnit and froiened down. Provious to I ho reception of the melancholy nowa of Ihe death of his mas- tor, this took place Also the name of Gen. Lane brought out. The fact that those two counties would by a largo ma. jorlly go for the latter gentleman, was of itself reason sufficient, for tho measure being so very obnoxious to the Statesman, and fully explains his alandornus course towards the Governor since. What else could II ue f Does any man nr a mo ment aupposc, that tho more action the part of the Governor, of appointing n llm and plsoe, for tho holding of elec tion lu thoso counties, uncuuirUtd with father more important considerations, would, of itself, have caused this bluer sknanolatlonf No none. The dl.crepin. c'y' of th efence, with the punlihmcnt ought to b Inflicted, would hat a been loo apparent, and be would not have dared thus to deao himself. But the gentlemanly editor tell us, thai the " good citlxena of Umpqua and Lane" counties are puzzled to know how the machinery of their election, Stc, was set in motion. A very complicated thing to understand truly! when it was staled plainly, in black and white, that the elec tion should be held at a certain time, and the house plainly pointed out at which it should take place. The Insinuation (in substance) that the " good ctlitens of Umpqua and Lane," cannot read, is certainly very complimen tary! But we have no idea that any of the "good citisens" of thoee counties were at all in doubt in the matter ; and, are not at all surprised, that ho himself, should have been, for his cranium is so befogged with the fume ef partisan pre judice, that it I no wonder he cannot see things In their true light. And we also 6od this editor busily employed In vilify, toi the Governor with regard to the trea ty Ii made with theR.R.lndians.Charging a man, who, in the absence of Mie proper officer, voluntarily, and without the hope of meant, unhesitatingly offered bis ser vices, at a lime of public calamity, to as sist in saving the lives and property of Kl. fellow men.

The Calls - poola mountain is about seven mile. a. cross where the road runs, well limbered, . and the road very good.
