SALE! OREGON. The Democrat has always treated the Mr. Geary kindly. In fct, we have been charged by friend with being somewhat partial to the Rev. gentle man, in failing to expose some of ht9 shallow tricks in deuiagogism. lid spect tor rthe honored old church of which he is a member, and the respecta ble congregation to which he pretends to break the bread of life in this city, has hitherto restrained us from dealing with him aa he deserved. Hut .1 a w ine orazen enoniry ezmrjited in the eztraeia above quoted places him outside of the church and makes him an object worthy only to be held up to public opprobrium. In short Mr Geary divests himself of his ministeria robes and appears in the habiliment o a low down pot house politicain. lai us examine lor a moment ms pretended devotion to the Republican party and see from what period it dates and how ha manifested that devotion at a time when the Republican organi-j zation mo3t needed the services of strong men such as Mr. Geary wou!d fain have the public understand him to r , ft be. In 1861, when Mf. Lincoln was itinerant corn doctor. Hitherto it had baen impossible to induce him to even remember the "Republican cause" in his pious'devolions. Of It will be remembered that he de clined to act as chaplain at a 'uoion meeting" at Brownsville "for fear that hit motives might be misunderstood. That much we have said concern Mr. Geary's devotion to the party. The Rev. gentleman now rushes into print to proclaim his adhesion and support of Hi. Smith, notwithstanding the factfthat he declined to bo a srcrV fice on the Hippie alter himself. In this respeet Dr. Geary conduct is not entirely above consure. It is well known that he was uervously anxious to be the Radical candidate, and that he buzzed about our streets with the Conventioncre for several dayt, seek ing the nomination ; and that even after the adoption of the Hipple-vc- neering and Mormon-endorsing reso lution he promised to accept the nom ination, and would have accepted it but for the fact that the members of his own church and many other prom inent Republicans of this city posi tively assured him that he would be defeated it he consented to stand as the candidate upon that infamous res o'ution. Rut for the urgent solicits- tijns of his frieads he would certainly hive accepted, and as sertainly been defeated. It was not the Rev. Doc tor's abhorrence of the spirit of that bigamous resolution .that kept him from being a candidate, but his fear of defeat! It is a sorrowful sight to see a ven erable gray haired mimigter of the Gospel lending hlnself a party to tho blostering up of so rotten and corrupt a cause.

When his political status was referred to by his neighbors, which was not so frequent as to excite any undue amount of his native egotism, the con elusion generally aimed at was that M. Geary was waiting to see how the scales would balance before giving in his adhesion to any party.. This conclusion proved eorrect and in 1804, after the result of the war became manifest by the logic of events, Mr. Geary began to talk loud and long about the punishment that should be meted out to "traitors."
