A movement is on foot to establish a free trade journal in Boston ; and recently a strong, free trade demonstration, has been made by, a large numler of promi nent business men in New 'York. This is the natural reaction from excessive tariff rates. "When the high tariff men became rampant then the free tracers take the field. There is no prospect ihat for ears to come we shall get along without a tar iff. The financial condition f the coun try will not warrant the entirt giving up of tbis source of revenue. Wj have tried - I direct and indirect taxation ; and there caa te no' question that the litter is far 1 popular with toe people. lmt a ' tariff which taxes important branches of j industry out of existence is not a good ! one for the country. The old theory that j a high tariff would reduce importations j A hardly borne out by the facts, for ex- cessive importations are now going on m the face of excessive taritf rates. Our tariff laws make iron, coal, and machinery dear. YVe want a fleet of iron and wooden merchant ships, and we can build neither. The Boston Comtaerical Bulletin discourses to the high turiif men as follows : e have completed, in great haste and , i at an enormous expense, a grand transpor- tation enterprise, which we put before the World with thr boast that it is to revolu tionize its commerce, change all its cur rents, and draw the rich products of ihe nations of the East into our mi?rkeis. But if we are really in earnest in making (his declaration, and do not wish it to pa for an idle boast ; if we desire to be consist ent and to avoid making ourselves aspec- tac;e for the derision and ridicule of the civilized world we must cease to invite tliis foreign commerce with one baud, we0rep(jl it wiUl the other. The Pacific Railroad is very good as far as it goes. Bat it needs to be supplemented jvi,j1lmaritirne facil ities and by friendly legislation towards both our general rail- roud and shipping interests, before it can fully accomplish the purposes for which lk ,,as w-.-Miiiru. --..- wc ii.citivi nouua, i. is very like a pair of shears, with no cor responding part, and cannot be used to cut out the commercial garments iu which we aspire to clothe ourselves. How' is the East to-day prepared to co-operate with this enterprise in encouraging the foreign commerce which it is expected to bring to our doors? Where are our ships to re ceive it and bear it across the Atlantic, in competition with foreign flags and bot toms ; Had not Congress, if it means bus iness on the? Pacific Railroad, better turn its attention, in the next place, to the mat ter of building up our" mercantile marine, and of liberalizing the conditions both of inland transportation and external com merce ? On Friday Hon. Austin Blair left for San Francisco, California. Gov. Blair joins the Committee of Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, of which he is a member, at Chicago, and they will proceed to California, going by the Pacific Railroad. Mr. Blair expects to be absent about six weeks. Jackson Citizen, June 15th. lion. Austin Blair is one of the '-whitest men" that ever crossed this continent, lie is a second Schuyler Colfax, and as an Oregonian. who feels a pride in the State, we shall be right glad to welcome him, and such as he, to this State. The com mittee of which Mr. Blair is an honorable member is now in San Francisco. It is said that they will hold a session in Port land. The Committee consists of Hon. Samuel Hooper, Massachusetts ; Hon. William B. Allison, lowa ; Hon. William D. Kelley, Pennsylvania ; Hon. Horace Maynard, Tennessee ; Hon. D. McCarthy, New York; Hon Austin Blair, Michigan; Hon. James Brooks. New York; Hon. S. S. Marshal. Illinois, with Basset, of New York City, Secretary of the Committee: F. II. Smith, of Washington City, stenogra pher ; S. S. Samson, of New York City. Deputy Sergeant-at-arms; W. II. Smith, (c'ored) caterer. The St. Louis and Chicago journals announce the regular receipt of Pacific Coast newspapers in five days, and quote from them as they never did before. In deed, the Eastern press generally has awakened to the existence of the great States on the Pacific since the 10th of May. We were never fully in the Union till that day. Henceforth everything relating to this coast will be described and discussed with all the zest of a new discovery, and every intelligent person who returns from a visit here will contribute to enhance the interest taken in the Pacific domain. All this must stimulate immigration and quicken the development of our varied resources, and the old States will gain in turn from what they lend us of population and capital. Two thieves, giving their names as Baker and Robert Watson, were captured in this city, on Monday evening last by Deputy- Sheriff Beall, of Clarke county W. T., Hwd City Marshall J. W. Ryan, and were lodged m tail to await a remnsition. v, hen thev will be returned to Vancouver there to answer to the charge of grand larceny.

R. The steamship Or'rjlamme, of Sunday evening, brought Mr. Holladay back to Oregon, and we are informed that he has perfected all his plans for immediately completing twenty mile's of the road. Those who may have been impatient with the apparent delays of the past few weeks may rest assured that work has never been suspended on the liuefinee the first shovelful, of dirt was removed try Presi dent I. R. Moores on the 15th of April 18C8, and if twenty miles are completed w ithin the next six months it should be considered a blessed thing, after all the obstructions which the company have been obliged to literally fight down. Take into consideration the cost and ex tent of this work; the distance Oregon is located from supplies for a railroad; and then ask if it is not a little remarkable that work has progressed as rapidly as it has. Let no man who values his reputa tion for honesty of purpose place any more stumbling blocks'' in the way of this road. The Oregonian of Tuesday last says : Ben. Holladay. who has been absent for about two months in San Francisco mak ing arrangements for the prosecution of railroad work here, returned by the Ori jiamrne on Sunday night. We hear that preparations are on foot for the organiza tion of working parties and the immedi ate resumption, of operations o the east side ot the river. According to the announcement made some time ago, a sufficient amount of iron will be. here within a few weeks of this time to Uy the track from East Portland to the German settlement in Marion county. It is the in tention, we hear, to put on force enough to insure the completion of this section of the road by the close of the year. Our people will now see that Mr. Holladay is acting in perfect good faith with Oregon. His enterprise should receive liberal treatment at the hands of all our people. We want railroads, and it is not the part ot wisdom to receive with distrust or op position any one wtio comes to ielp us in a matter so vital to our present interests and future prosperity. Senator Williams left on the Chijtamme, and the Herald is speculating' upon the " whys" and " wherefores" of his de-. parture. At last accounts the correct conclusions had not been arrived at. These guesses are more at random than many given at the festival on the weight of that cake on last Wednesday evening. What a pitv lis. to compel a lo cal to guess so hard such hot Weather. Will not some one of Mr. Williams' f riends be so kind as to tell the Herald all about that "very unexpected and important bus iness." Superintendent of schools S. D. Tope Esq., will next week start on a tour of inspection of the school districts of Clacka mas County. We hope that clerks, direct ors, and parents will render him every needed facility for making a good report which we shall take pleasure in publish ing. o-- Mr. Pennoyer has retored from the Ili'rald. His successors are L. Patterson fc Co. Mr. Eugene Semnle will fill the chair editorial, and Mr. M. IT. Abbott will be in charge of the local department, we understand. The St. Paul Press says: Half the business of the Courts in Illinois seems to be to satisfy the vengance of women because they can't get the men to marry ttiern. and the other half to enable women to get rid of men who have married them." Cataract Hose Company No. 2. wTas organized in this city on Saturday evening last. The list of officers will be found in another part of the paper. They have some excellent materials for bull v firemen. Mr. A. Wessels informs us that he has eaten of perfect green corn from his gar den this season. This is early enough for any, we think. --George Francis Train arrived in Port land by the Orillamme on Sunday evening. Laxu Offick Bcsixkss. During the month of June, there was entered at the land office at this place, under the Home stead laws,:j,TSS 80-100 acres of land; and sixteen pre-emption claims were filed. During the quarter just closed. 9.SH) 45-100 acres was entered under the Homestead act. 1.5(51. acres sold for cash and 33 pre emption claims filed. From the Salem Unionist The State Fair will be held this year, during the week commencing with Mon day, the 11th of October. The W. W. Manufacturing Co., have been deepening the channel which leads up to their flouring mill. A new flour chute has also been built by which flour can be landed on their new wharf at the mouth of the channel, so that boats can now take on hour at the lowest stages of water. Dr. O. P. S. Phunmer wdio has hereto fore been Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Line' from Portland to Yreka, has now the superintendency, of the line from Portland Oregon to Marys ville. California. The Oregon City Mills Co.. have com pleted the construction of a new brick wall on the eastern side of the mill which greatly improves the appearance of the building, and gives the company more ample room. The work was performed bv Mr. T. L. Rhodes. We learn from all sources that the In dians on the reservations in Oregon, are much alarmed at the prospect of being turned over into the hands of the military. Mr. Collins, agent at the Alsea Sub Agency arrived iu town the dy before yesterday, and reports that a squad of In dians from the Siletz. had got as far down as his Agency, and were making their way down the coast. They were stopped. Mr. Simpson thinks the Indians on the Siietz Reservation can be retained, but is of the opinion that many of those on the Alsea Reserve will run off. We saw a letter last evening from the Umatilla Res ervation w hich stated that a number of the chiefs of that Agency wished to have an earnest talk with Senators Williams and Corbett. with a view to having the Indian Department remain still in the hands of the civil authorities. We are satisfied that the military is very obnoxi ous to the Indians, and that the move will prove a great failure. W.II. Seward will perhaps deliver an oration in Sacramento on Monday. I. Selling is offering a splendid made rag carpet for sale at SI 00 per yarn- Go and see it. Mr. II. C. Leonard returned to Port land on Sunday evening. He has made a - flying" trip to the East. sure. The effects of another earthquake were sensibly felt at Olympia. Stilacoom and Seattle, on the 28th heavier than the one of last week. Jas. B.

Any person knwing the whereabout.5? of Eben Turner, who came to Jacksonville in March 18C2, would confer a favor oh his friends by communicating with J. M. Sutton, Jacksonville Oregon. The Cuban question is begifi mg to assume a veritable war shape. The dispatches show that disagree ments have crept in amongst the volunteers on account of the con duct of Gen. Dulce, but that the insurgents tire meeting with site cess. There is much sympathy in the XTnited States for Cuba. The beating of the national pulse oil this issue ncWer" Avas a matter" of doubt, and never should have been even for a moment doubted. Last fall the Union Republican p1fty. In national convention assembled at Chicago, solenily and deliber- ntrdv .Wl.orfxl itsolf " in svmn.lti.t- witu an oppressed people, strng urlino; for their rights." and that mature and official declaration, al ter the sharp discussion of a hotly contested political campaign, was ovenvhelminojv and decisively rat ified by the people at the polls, and adopted as their policy. The Fourth of July celebra tion at San Francisco lias fallen in to the hands of the Confederates. The Republicans are not allowed to have anything to do -with its management. The orator, chap lain, and all who are allowed to take a leading part arc blatant se cessionists. The Copperhead pa pers publish the notices and pro grammes as advertisements, at high rates, while the Republican 2apers publish them gratuitously as news. These Confederates are the same gentlemen who would not celebrate in 1801. In the formation of this govern ermnent, free negroes were regard ed as citizens, voted in several of the Southern States. Geo. Wash ington asserted that negroes who had fought in the revolution of 17 70, were entitled both to freedom and the right to vote. In later years, New York, under the lead ership of Martin Van Ruren, also executed negro suffrage, which was followed by the endorsement of the Democracy of Xew England States, and yet this party now de sires to go back on itself, whercev er the prejudices of individuals -j 1 . . t can oe used to lavor it towards temporary local success, as it is on ly a forced local issue wherever ad vanced. Four Great Events. The present century has seen these four great events: 1. Morse's invention of the tele graph. 2. The laying of the Atlantic cable. 3. The death of slavery in the j United htates. 4. The completion of the Pacific Railroad. In twenty-five years the conti nent has been spanned by the wires 01 tlie telegraph. 1 en years ago the lightning-. began to run be neath the sea. Five years ago the war for freedom ended and slavery died. On Monday, the 10th of! Alay, the iron track was made complete from Portland Maine, to San Francisco. The young man of to-day, who has seen all these things "accom plished, will have tales to tell his grand-children such as no grand sire of our day can summon" from the stores of his memory. The Unionist has a Manly correspondent from this city, whose progressive spirit is advanc ing. w CITY SEMIXAKY.
