Dismantled-. Pending the litigation of
the title tar tire Poorman Lode, in Owyhee,
the contestants built forts commanding tbe
line of tbe lode. Judge Kelly very properly
ordered (lie sheriff to dismantle these fortifi

Gen. Morton, of Indiana, very consistently
says that the non-seceding States are setting
ii bad example to tho ex-rebellious States on
the negrcsulfrage question. While they
treat tho black man with spite at the North,
they ask ther South to give him political
rights
Till S'onday LaW.lf the Sunday Law in
this Stme is ci eeted (o increase the religious
feelingj of the people, it is a failure, as lb
cursing autf swearing in the couutry baa, been
quadrupled in consequence of it if it is iu
tended to prevent the use of intoxicating
liquors on Srnday, it is a failure, as men
driuk about twice the amount tbey formerly
did. to manif at their barred of the law. If it
was expected to increase the average attend
ADCfl at the places of public worship, it is a
failure, tis the iivdiffereuce' of those who did
not attend thufe'h is changed to positive dis
like, not to lay, which would be nearer the
truth, absolute hatred.. A3 a remedial law it
is dead, as a prohibitory law it is despised
and violated, ar.d, in general terms. It is a
bumbng. It proposes to do by statute, what
God w.mts us to do of our own free will ; and
is utterly in opposition to the spirit of true
religion, which bas no argument bnt pcrsua
Ion, no strength bat by its instinctive vitality,
and no weapon but the Cross. It is in oppo
silion lo a sound policy, becanse tbe disre
spect and hatred which it excites are conta
gious; and by bnbiiuul disobedience to ai
obnoxious law, people, in time, .come to dieo
bey those which are absolutely necessary to
the public peace.. It is not demanded by that
higher order of far-sighted religionists, who
attach more importance to a voluntary sub-
"mission to the observances of religion than
tbey do to an outward reipect for what the
soul inwardly rebels eguiust, and can only
l;eed informations, hatreds, espionage, end
wickedness generally. .'',
Ths Truth. The Oregon itatetman very
truthfully and forcibly stttes tbe caBe, in regard
to tbe elements of tbe Union party in this State,
when it says that it is largely composed of men
who were originally Democrats. In fact, but
for the assistance of men of Democratic
proclivities from 18C1 to tbe present time, tbe
party wonld have been continually in tbe
minority. The prevalent sentiment in tbe
party bas been such that no person holding
distinctive Republican principles, except Judge
McBride, and Mr. Henderson, has ever been
able to come before the people and control a
majority of tbe votes. While this may be
something to regret, rather than to rejoice at,
it is nevertheless true, and the abuse of many
of tbe cherished ideas of the National Democ
racy can do no good to the Union party, but
rather tend to its disorganization, by pro
ducing discontent among men originally de
rived from tbe opposition. We are not yet
far enough away from the days of the discus
sion of the great territorial question to afford
to t d-jgmaiic on subjects which have ex
cited so much trouble, and we are not relatively
strong enough to indulge in dissensions. At
tbe coming State election we shall need all
tbe votes which the pany can mueier.nnd we
are not likely to get enough, if the practice ot
opening " a fire in the rear " of our Iriends is
indulged in, as was the case at the recent
special election iu this district. It may be
very "smart" to attempt to stir up the feel
ings of former Democrats, by unnecessary
abuse J it may be very politic to burp upou
the "unspeakable calamity or allowing Mis.
sourutns to vote , it may be eminently proper
to evoke the aid ol the Evil (jentn, as olten
as he is sufficiently sober to put bis oar in tbe
already truubled waters, but the effects can
only be lamentable to the Union party.
