A West Side Champion. Portland, Aug. 25, 1870. Ed. Republican We notice in the Portland Bulletin, such laudatory accounts of Williams and Holladay and diatribes about railroads, that we, without power to resist, have become cren more, suspicious of them and their measures, and we have tried hard to look upon the act3 of those menwith charity. I am a Republican and feel a great interest in the party, but I have lired in Oregoo since 1844, and feel a greater interest in the success of the country than in any man's promotion. And, aqain, we have been personally interested enough to carefully watch events. We, the people on the west side of the Willamette - river, should have had a railroad running to the Co lumbia river long since, had it not been for some reasons which I will give, and then leave the subject for better judgei. " ' You are aware that ihe original Ore gon railroad bill provided that the road should terminate on the Columbia river, and that, through the efforts of Judge Williams,. Portland was made the north ern terminus, deceiving many men in Oregon and Washington City, who, thinking Portland on thft Columbia river, while it is 12 miles from the up per and 30 from the lower mouth of the Willamette ; and, at an expendi ture of thousands of dollars a year, vessels with great difficulty reach Port land in high water, and drop down to the Columbia to load ; and all of thU extra expense comes out of the people of the valley. And again, when the people were al most in possession of a railroad upon the West Side, by a slight turn of the wrist, it was gobbled away from them, after paying out their money, to the great detriment of their families ; and by the untiring efforts of Judge Will lams in opposition to Mr. Corbett, the land grant was set aside to Ren Holla day, of California, and the road com menced upon the East Side, where it can never become the main thorough fare, ; and with the threat, also, that the road is not likely to go south of Eu ; geqe. Uity. This is railroad develop pent with a vengeance. And again, when the Pengra bill was before Congress, and the Central Pa cific Railroad Company were prepar ing to build a road from Humboldt to ;Engene City, McMinnville and on to the Columbia river, Williams' amend menfc defeated that measure, by com rolling the road to come through South crn Oregon, after a large grant ot land . ha4 been donated by Congress for a railroad on the same ground, virtually damning the whole affair. Now, let us see for one memeut, the profit a railroad would be to Oregon, coming directly from the Eastern States.: It would develop a large dis . trict of country in the Goose Lake val . ley-arid cast'-of the Cascade Mountains to Eugeno City ; thence down the beau tiful Willamette valley to McMinnville, where no grant of land has ever yet been given, and on to the Columbia river : then to connect with the North Pacific Railroad; making a competing line through Jthe valley, giving an out let to north, cast aod . south, without being to all eternity a tributary to Cali fornia. ; -, With citfe? springing up in our midst to compete in purchasing our produce, we could, with our natural resources, compete with California and Washing ton Territory. We hope the people of Oregon will wake up to their interest and see that the Pengra bill passes in the1 original form, so as to save us from the Iron grasp of a monopolist. If they neg lect so important an enterprise, their children will rise up and curse them. And now we will take James O'Meara at his word, lay aside politics, accord ing to the lively example ho has given us, and advocate men ami measures that will develop the country, and none other j and we suggest, offer induce ments to the Central Pacific Railroad Company to come here and build our great truuk road; we will give tbcm land and sustain them in business ; we stand ready to encourage all 'internal improvements ami defeat none. In speaking of the California Cen tral Pacific Company, the Bulletin a) s : "By constructing the projected hranch road from their own Central Pa cific trunk line, at ilumtoldt, to'Hu gene City, east1 of the Cascades, the would entirely defeat the connection of the Holladay road, even though it were constructed clear to the Oregon boun dary line; from Eugene City they j would extend their road to McMion ville, thence to St. Helens, all the. way miles removed from Portland, and from St Helens to Puget Sound, the Pacific terminus of tha road." This is the very thing we have fore seen and said Ren IIoJ1 Uy's only salvation is to defeat tboPigra and West Side road. People of the West Side, can you now sie how you are be ing sacrificed ? A road from Califor nia or from some point on the Central Pacific to Eugene City, then down on the West Side to St. Helen?, or As toria, i3 the road we must have or be ferever left out in the cold. And, in the same article1 from which we clip the above extract, we find the following : 'The re-election of Senator Williams will be a decision in favor of the As toria, Portland, and Southcan Oregon road." What inconsistency ! Let the mourn ful veil whicfr covers a multitude of sins fall and hide from the sight of hon est men the sable heart that dare con ceive such monstrosity. - In the eleventh numter of the But lelln we find the following on the ques tion of Senator : "As we view the race, there will be two or three wofully mistaken aspir ants, and it will not surprise us if, after all, some person, now barely if at all reckoned in the party slates, shall prove to be the honored victor. We shall re frain from the mention of names here, but we are very confident that one or two, who now are almost certain of election, will find themselves so badly beaten, and by one so unexpectedly in their way, that they will recover from their surprise only when too prostrate to rise and too powerless to interpose either in their own behalf or as against the success of their freshly -raised but triumphant competitor." This most certainly cannot mean Williams who is probably being deceiv ed. Rut who does O'Meara refer to ? We can think of no one-iave his mas ter, Holladay. Go in, Ren ; we some how like your style after all, and we do not attach any blame to you in this matter, and would -think it wisdom jn you, if you have to elect some one to the Senate by purchase, to buy your self in, and then we shall suspect you arie s:na.rt at least DALLAS, OB.EG ON, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1870. We see by the Bulletin of the 24th inst., that some hidden creature is at tacking us through its columns. Every charge it makes against U3 is an un blushiug falsehood. He talks about mr candidate ! We have no candidate except we want to seejEome man elect ed who will not, for any consideration, rob one portion of the country to en rich another, and a man who will carry out the will and wishes of the people, and not drag us, as a party,' Step by step into irretrievable defeat. He proves himself to be the very kind of a man he is attempting to make us out to be, for he says that all our shots fall harmless. If that be so, why occupy a whole column in that monstrous sheet to answer them? Rut we have told the truth, and it hurts; that's what's the matter. Now, we do not knew who this sneeking communicator is, nor do we care, but we venture the assertion that, when he's known, he will turn out to belong to tho canine species, licking the dust from the heels of Ren Holla day, and an enemy of the pcor le ol the West Side. TheCohhlkk Mkndkik The learn ed genius who edits the Dallas I2epub lit an raises a great whirraroo over the use we recently made of tho old verse about "Pr. Fell," and undertakes to display his erudition as to iu authtnr ship a question wo licit her raised nor referred to. In doing this the fellow has brought confusion only on himself. He ridicules us for not having known that Dean Swift was the author of the lines. Now, mark the plight into which our intemperate critic has plunged him self. It was not Dean Swift, but Tom Brown, who fitht wrote the verse. We may add that in the epigrams of Mar tial will b found, perhaps, the lines from which Brown borrowed the idea uf his "Dr. Fell" verse. Our Polk county censor ought to be more circum spect in exhibiting himself as a lite rary cbbler. He seems to possess all of the graisncss of speech which char acterized Dean Swift, but is devoid of a single idea worthy of the Dean's poorest mumblings. Bulletin. "Ne sutor supra crepilum ' Trans late that, Jemmy, and then tell us where's your gal?" Miss Tom Brown was a naughty, naughty 'gal to go and steal his verses from somebody else. Ain't you mistaken Jcmrny; wasn't Johu Smith the Qui who stole those lines from the Rrown gal? It won't do to go too Sicift, Jemmy, even in railroad matters. A Silly Vikw. It has been inti mated to us that to oppose Senator Williams was to oppose the principles of the Union Republican party of Or egon. Now this position is so weak that we ought not take the time to write one line to refute it; but we sug gest to those gentlemen who stoop to such an argument, that if to fight Wil liams is fighting the Union Republican party of Oregon, then are not the Ore gonian, the negro suffrage pigtrainor, and Statesman, when they fight such men as Sumner, Trumbull, Morton.and all the great minds of the Senate, fight ing the Union Republican party of the nation? Solve that problem, please. - . The editor of the Belle tin a short time since was very averse to throwing dirt. We desire to call his attention to his reply to our answer jespecting his girl in the verse, and modestly ask, who now is throwing dirt? The Bul letin man seems also to bo much exor cised in respect to our learning. Now, Mr. O'Meara, everybody acknowledges your great erudition, but somewhere in holy writ it is said, that a certain notable remarked to St. Paul that, ''Much learning hath made thee mad and long since it has become a notice able fact, by men of sense, that one half the fools in the oountry wero high ly educated. -' A Reason. A little boy in a Dan vers school was asked by his teacher for some reason why women should not vote, i and triumphantly answered, "Cause they Tire afraid xf caterpillars.

Rerlin, Aug 20. A fonrth nrny, under the command of tho Prince Royal of Saxony, is f'rtnitix , to co-operate with tho movements on Paris. Parrs, Atig. 2G. La Public say: Prince Charles is moving on !ari-, n d unless checked, will reach there in six days. All reserves are called out to de fend the city. Strasbourg and Pfal.s bourg still hold out against the ProS cans. Part of Stciumctz' army has joined Prince Charles' and the united forces have advanced on Paris, the Rail-, road from Montmedy to Sedan has been destroyed at Morsn. The Prus sians attacked Fort St. Quentin (part of the fortification of Metz) ou thj tilth. A report received via London say the Prussians are marching on Rbeim and were expected there on the 2 4th Prussian cavalry is reported to have been at Dammerlin and Chateau, ouly 50 miles from Paris. A London report says Razaino is certainly shut up in Metz with G0,0f.)0 nifn, while the Prussian forces sur rounding it are 250.000. London, Aug. 27. Large rcinforc ments have Jeen sent to McMahon, whoso tactic appear to gather up and recruit the army and with new levies to sweep along the Relgian bonier and offrr, battle after which he will, if sue ces?ful, effect a junction with Riz iine north of Metz. If it succeeds, this move of McMahon's will strike the Prus sian line at tit. Alvold. This is believed to be the object of McMahon's strategy. The Prince Imperial is at Rethel, 03 miles from Metz. On Thursday the headquarters or the Prussian army were at Rar le Due. The advance had reached a point about midway between Chalons and I heirry. The march on Paris was to be conducted slowly by the Prussians and there remains no further opposition. Pakih, Aug. 27. The King and Crown Prince are moving on the city by way of the valleys of the Marnc and the Aubc. They commit fearful pillage and unheard of outrages as they move aloug. The Senatorial Tmo. James O'Meara, the editor of the Oregoniav, and Sam Clark are in a death struggle to elect Ren Ilol'aday to the United States Senate, in the person of George II. Williams. "When hall we three meet again." Youthful Diplomacy. A little boy who had been told that he must never akcd for anything to cat away from home, went inio a ncignoor s house, when the lady chanced to be frying doughnuts. 4iO." said he, 'you are cooking." Aware that he had been well trained and nnxious to see whether his appetite would cet the better of his man ners, the lady did not give him any of the douuhnuts. "Well," said he, returning to the charge, "vour cakes look nice." "O, very nice," saia the lady "they are the best l ever cooked. After playing with the cat a few minutes, he remaked, "Ana they smell very nice." "O, yes, they smell very nice, was the lady's tantiliziug answer. - "Well," said the boy, "I suppose if any little child that was hungry should come here when you are cooking, you would give him, something to eat?" "Well, ye?, I think I should. "Then," said be, after another turn with the cat, I guess I must go home for I am very hungry." It is needless to add that he got a doughnut. f'Oh, dear' exclaimed Henrietta throwing herself into the rocking chair, I'll never go to tho postoffice again, to be looked but of countenance by all of those men on the corner.
