The CTncugo Democrat says that the Re public in press ha been very much troubleiof lat.e9cspi'c!ing the Dernoora! ic stand iru bearer, in 1672. For their inhu mation we wills:ate that the nominee ol the delegates to the National Con volition will be the man. and that he will hav. certain distinctive qualifications, viz: First, lie will be above suspicion o' .

This kind of thing was dangerous, and so the President has n m in ited Fortiov to be Collector of the Fori of Philadelphia, which will doubtless in duce that immaculate to hold his peace until the meeting of the next National Convention. That Forney was a defaulter in his accounts as Secretary of the Senate makes no difference Grant does not suf fer such technicalities to stand in the way ol his appointments.

Robertsr n acquiesced, but several other Senators declined to be bound by any sueh arrangement.

They set up all kinds of imaginary theories and pro claim them as the true intent of the party. For their information, we publish the following purposes of the Democracy, taken from one of our e changes, and which we most heartily endorse. Democrats propose to undo Radical legislation in regard to revenue. They propose to do away with the robbery called protection. In doing this, how ever, they cannot restore to the people the hundreds of millions of dollars taken from them and transferred to the pockets of the manfacieriug monopolists by means thereof. The Democrats propose putting a stop to Ihe reckiss squander ing of the public lands to partisan rings ; but it does not follow that, they can restore lo ibe public domain thai which has already been given away. We would restore ihe Union as it was. with the addition only of the Thirteenth Amen .Intent stop all naiiou.il in teference with the affairs of Ihe States, and leave the people thereof perfectly free, as they were in lonner d.ys. lo regulate their do mestic institution in their way, own sub ject only to the Constitution of the United States. If i he pe jple are not lit for this. Ihey are not fit, for freedom. This doc trine we are ready to proclaim front the house tops. ToNN'AOK ON" TIIK RlVKK. At tllO office of ihe P. T. Co. we have seen an interest ing comparative table, showing that the river freights of the present season are nop behind formi r years, not wit hs'anding llie fact that a huge amount of Oregon pro due's have lately been transported on the railroad. During the eight months ceding April 1st, lSilSI, the dowj Ireighls wore 2 1.207 t ns ; f.r same to 1S70. they were '-l!S.."7 1 tons : for same to ls71 21 722 tons. The up freights lor the present year are not quite so large but the difference is more than made up by ihe inert use of transportation down si ream. There is a percepiible increase. Mr. Patton informs us. in transportation of wares of home manufacture, which is a favorable sign tor the country. Judging that the rail road has aiso carried thousands ol tons of freights down, these figures show lhal Oregon has increased her surplus products in ls71 over lb70 at least one-thhd. Salt. Salt is one of the great staples. It, is of uniold value to any nation. It is o! especial value lo the people of the United States. We. in this countrv. can. says ihe Crisis, were it not for taxation, sell salt as cheap as any nation on eanh. We can produce it as cheaply as any spot on the globe, yet. bi cause of this curse of taxa tion, a gold dollar will buy twice as much salt in Fngiand or Spain as here, where naturally it. cost less! So much for the beauties of a government which deprives a nation of ihe fruits o! its own resources, through killing taxation. The Sacra men lo Union, a strong sup porter of Gi ant, says : Whatever ma be the tone of the Sen ate, this Republic is not yet so blunted in i;s moral senses as to view with uncon cern its greaiest and purest men dragged down and torn by pigmies, place-hunters and political adver Mirers. The removal of Sumner from he Committee on Foreign Relations and of Trumbuil from the Ju diciary Committee, is an insult to the American people. Davaoks. From ihe JLrald we learn that -Six-Toed Pete," well known in cer tain circles in this place, proposes to sue the city of Portland for designating his -profession'' lobe that of a monkey train er.

A prospectus is issued, announcing that the Pacifit; Churchman would be commenced again about the 12th of May. It will be under the immediate charge of Bishop Morris, assisted by the clergy of the Episcopal Church. The well Known energy und ability of the Bishop is a sure guarantee that the paper mtisi flourish. It is to be published monthly, at SI 50 per annum. Sit.t.v. A telegraph dispatch from Washington states ihe silly story that the President favors the appointment of Sum ner Secretary of the Treasury. A man that would have another removed from a Senate Committee will not likely appoint him as one of bi-j chief officers. The dis patch is simply a blind to deceive Sum ner's friends. Nobody but a fool will place atiy reliance in this siily report Kii.t.F.o. The following is a telegram from Corvallis, under date of the Bnb. it?st. : A voting nun named White, a student of Phiiomoth College, got iuio a fight yes terday at Philomoth with Frank .I ison. when Eli Mason, an older brother", threw a piece of iron striking White on ihe head, inflicting a wound from which he died about a o'clock List night. Declined. Gov. Grover has declined to accept the resignation of Brigadier Gen. O. F.Bell. J. K. Beau. Our readers will remember the arrest of Mr. Bear, at this place, under the name f J Curtis, some three months since, and that he was taken back to Brownvilie, Nebraska. IL trial came off last month, and he confessed his guilt. He was sen tenced to one years' imprisonment. It is understood that he will be pardoned. We find the following communication re litin"- to him in the Omaha ILrall of the I'Jth of Match, which wiil be read with interest. In writing lhi-3 communication I have nothing to say in extenuation of the ?rim. of J. K. Baer. except t'O far as a trutiUu statement, ol the peculiar circumstances o! his case may better iniurm the public mini, of the cotiisi of events which made hin almost an in voluntary criminal. Up to the time of his sudden disappearance from the est v ot Brownvilie. he had held a high positioii in the pecuniary trust and social respect of the community in which he lived. One morning he was missing, a distract ed wilt was inquiring for his whereabouts, and the town was thunderstruck over his disappearance ; and it was not until letter ol explanation was found, in his handwriting, under the door of ihe Demo crat office, that the public and his friends accepted the truth thus forced upon ihein, that he was a fugitive from justice und a defaulter lo the amount of S12.0U0. Some months prior to bis departure w'ph the money of the express company, he had contracted the habit of gambling. lie was at that time earning one hundred and fifty dollars a month, and had but a Wife and child to support. His bahlts were no: expensive, and he no doubt rnigftt have laid up much more than half. The terrible fascination of gaming took entire posse-sim of him. Week after week he saS', his earnings dwindling away, and in a tit of despeiation he boirowed some of the company's money in hopes of retrieving h;s losses. Returning from play one night be found that he had gone beyond the power of his restoration, and knowing that the differ ence in the accounts would be discovered within a week, his gambling known to his friends and family, he absconded with S 12.000, and was nit lor some months heard of until his arrest in Oregon City, Oregon. IDs own words tell the story better than anything else. The next morning I realized what I had done. I wanted to go back and re store the money, and would have done so could I have devisid any way of doing it wi; bout discovery ; but it was too late, and I could only doe the country. 1 de termined to go to some iar off place, invest what money 1 had. and make enough in three years lo pay back wb it I hud taken. God only knows what I have suffered while thinking over the wrongs done my wife and little child. I never slept a night until I was taken, without the use of morphine, and 1 lie night of my arrest I felt more relieved than 1 had tor months Indole.
