This pink of propriety, and shining light in the Republican ranks, wbo, in years gone by, pro nounced the people of Southern Oregon “murder ers, mercenaries, thieves and incend aries,” and who wishes to elevate himself to the Gubernatorial chair by the aid of Southern Oregon votes, will be on exhibiti.n, to-day ; he is only to be seen, not heard. It is cool and impudent, this thing oi your slanderer and injurer coming now and asking you to vote for him as chief officer of the State. Yet there are some who are resolved to vote for this dishonest, vainglorious man, attempted to be f dated upon the people by Ben. Holladay ; and that they may be strengthened in their resolution, they are requested to turn to the first page of this paper, and read the petition from the Legislature of 1856, to President Pierce, for the removal from office of Joel Palmer, then Superintendent of In dian affairs. The reasons given in the petition why he should be removed were "incompetency ard dishonesty.” Among the list of signers to that petition, will be found the names of such Repub licans as R. P. Boise. C. W. Brown, A. R. Bur bank, J. M. Harrison, J. P. Peebles, et al If they considered him unqualified to superintend our Indian affairs, what sort of Governor do they think he will make?

S ir : Believing, as I do, that the cause of the present difficulty in southern Oregon is wholly to be attributed to the acts of our own people, I can not but feel that it is our duty to adopt such meas ures as will tend to secure the lives of the Indians and maintain guaranties secured by treaty stipula tions. The future will prove that this war has been forced upon these Indians against their will, and that, too, by a set <>f reckless vagabonds, for pecuniary and political objects, and sanctioned by a nume'ous population wbo regard the treasury of the United States a legitimate subject of plunder. The Indians in this district have been driven to desperation by acts of cruelty against their peope ; treaties have been violated and acts of barbarity committed by th >se claiming to be citizens, that would disgrace the most barbarous nations of the earth ; and if none but those who perpetrated such acts were to be affected by this war, we might, look upon it with indifference ; but, uuhappily, this is not the case , I have the honor to be, dear sir, your obedient servant, JOEL PALMER. * Sup't of adían Affaire, O.
