THE
ELECTION AND
SESSION.
SPECIAL
J. M. Pierci is the Union candidate for
the legislative vacancy in Yamhill county.
Martiau law bai been abolished in Ken
tucky. Hiavy rains have fallen on the west side
of the Cascades during the past week, and
the streams are rising in consequence.
Tbi alarm about the cholera, brought across
the Atlantic by the Atlanta, is abating. No
new cases have occurred.
While the election in the Fifteenth Repre
sentative District is of but little importance
as a test of the probable direction of pnblio
opinion on local questions, it affords a good
opportunity of ascertaining the sentiments of
the people on the all-important issues which
are likely to engage the attention of the na
tion at the assembling of Congress. No man
of intelligence in this community will deny
that four-fifths of the voters of Wasco county
are heartily in favor of the scheme of pacifl
cation and reconstruction adopted by Presi
dent JoKnsoo ; yet, for all that, the Democratic
Convention neglected to comply with the
popular demand for an endorsement of the
acts of President Johnson in the matter in
question. The voice of a majority of both
parties distinctly favors such endorsement,
but the Union party only has met the issue
fairly. Tljere is nothing in a party name, or
old partj associations, which should prevent
(be liberal and patriotic members of the
Democtntio party from voting for the Union
candidate, who fully and fairly represents
their opinions on this point.
The obnoiious Sunday Law is equally un
popular with both parties, and its repeal or
ms'lification is a matter of general interest
It is greatly to be desired that a represen
tative shall be sent from this district whose
political associations will be in accord with
those of the majority of the Legislature. We
want a man who can tell the Union party
members that, unless theyretrac his attempt
to inject religion into the politics of the party,
the cbsnces of success at the June election
will be very limited. Mr. Bogue opposes the'
Sunday Law on the highest and best grounds
that can be taken, namely: The Sunday Law
is a religious institution, and as. such is con
trary to the spirit of our State and National
Governments. To oppose it upon any other
ground, is to throw away a great moral ad
vantage. Mr. Hogue can and will represent
the views of the vast majority of the people
on this side of the Cascades, on this subject,
with an influence on the party in power that
no Democrat could exercijr; particularly
after that party bad neglected to act upon the
prevailing popular impulse to endorse the
National Administration.
Upon purely personal grounds, the candi
dates of the two parties are men who are em
inently popular, and the deleat of either will
be robbed of the sting of mortification by the
fact his their respective supporters will re
gret the differences of opinion which necessi
tate the defeat of one of them.
We do not doubt that the professions of
friendship which, so many Democrats in this
county manifest for the Administration, are
real; but su"h seutimeuts will prove of but
little practical value unless they are followed
np by votes, which will h'. u a practical bear
ing on the questions at issue. At ibis time
the gathering elements of a political storm
forewarn us that the attempt will probably
be made to destroy the usefulness of tb
President in bis efforts to restore peace and
unity, and possibly to hurl him from office.
If this should be done in the face of a popular
majority, it would argue but pourly for the
intelligence of bis friends, here and else
where. The man that truly desires the suo-
ceBS of the Administration, will not scruple
