Mr. Editor: Tho 22 of April will soon l. here, and Use primary ni-itns, and the County, State a.nd National Cbn-ve-ntion'j inert. - ,f. t Such is tho condition of our country, xntTsc! closely are party liuc-i drarn tliat it is of the utmost importancr in the Ku publican party that its best an.l vi.iP.st jnen are brought out .and nominated for he sufirages of the people. It will not lo to any longer let these "shining lights" rejnain in the back ground. We all knoy that tlit? Democrats are trying by ev2ry artilice. to seduce such iiicn, and wiHrtak to their bosoiik all those whom told neglect and an holiest chaneo; heart compel lo leave our ranks. "We must not - only hold all wc have, but by eery Teiniate means keep with lis the elder class of learned and repula hhr men who are followed by near'v all of Youni America, who in cpen iuouth wonder listen to their instructing dis courses, and hanker after a share of their wisdom as a chicken does after a grub worm. In the good old times tho peo pje presented many .candidates for all ojEee;; their merits-;ind demerits were freely discussed, and by so doing only the best men were secured. ! It may seem egotisticil on luy part to try to forestall action on the part of thf County and State Conventions, or bias Legislatures. Others hiay deem me a fool for attempting to get in a good and true man. I of course hold tuvself bound by the action of those who represent us ; in convention and;hall vote for the can didates pus on the ticket. t If the man I "pi sent U not al.' and more than I defccribe him to lc you ban find it eut by close acquaintance with liint. Now lt us drrp all feelings of jeal ousy, all partisan hatreds, trot out our best men, and as well as we can, shw their good poir.ts, and the reason why we should vole for them. In 'acc'Drdrfnco with this programme, Mr. Editor, and voters of Columbia Co. ajid tto of Oregon, I call your atten tion to one among us, and whose name you shall hear after I have completed his autobiography. My only reason for U0.tV.ow giving you his name is the dread fear that before Ican complete hi fuli reserdtlwi Democrats would by some ar tifice prevent him from reaching the ex lilted position he is iutitled co. Let him for the present simply be to you, as The Dark Horse of Columbia County. In litres races and pugilistic encounters you kin w that some of the best steeds and menhave been so entered, and I claim the right to so enter my candidate. : This man's very age speaks of refined wisdom. His knowledge of events dat- i jing back ftfoF. .forty yeara.ago is not ex-eUed-by any one who is not read up in the history of those times; as a moral man and sound logical rpaciXc.r he can't 1 be excel fc'd by any but superior men. In politics he was one of the original ftbolitionests, and so deserves a pension nore than any who only went to the tront end got shot. He would make a splendid Governor, -j His? courteousness in business affjirs, and knowledge of the intricate details of official work, prove him a most suitable rcau for the office of Secretary of State. In casts of a vacancy on the Supreme bench his "Solomon lik wisdom points him as the man of all men to don the judicial erniine. But I fear that .all these places are bespoken, but I propose hiui with thed fcupport.. of. all, ,hi3 followers who are as numerous among the Democrats as in our own ranks, for United States Sena tor; failing here we will n;ako a deter mined o2ort to place him in Congress in place of Hon. M. C, George. I believe in the man seeking the office, and either of these places would ruit him and he would soon have God in the Constitu- tion and a sixteenth amendment urohi-j ibitin" unbelievers and Cathole3 from holding any offiJ of trust or honor in the tTnited SUtes. He could also help get through a bill making a law of a favorite scheme of his to stop paying pensions to crippled sol diers; put them in State poor houses, and havo the Nation pay tho States for their , keeping. When this is done some people can make a big fortune on the boys' hides who wore the blue provided "they were r.ot too liadly scarred. r He has proven an adept at gettirg, county rations for one crippled soldier at ; anyjrte, and would be sure to res;st any 'pensioning of those who lost health and hope in rebel prisons. j . Failing to get him in as Senator or Representative, though when all my reasons why he ivhould go in aro ex' p!ained to you people, and he has thor oughly canvassed tho County and State I can't see how he cjfln fail. I propose hiiuas State. Senator or Representative. .Here ho would La in, hi3 natural ele ment. .. . , Jle says he wcild Jiave supported Mitcliell for the.3cnate, only hn regauU ed him (MitcbclO-ns.n Mor-non and bad man generally. . You .ean . see by this that but for my 'cal'ididate, John II. Mitchell would now be in the Senate. .... . fm Tlmre is no fear of pretty women, run ning o(F with mv candidate. With the wisdom of Solomon, lie ca;l-as did Solo Dion when convinced ,cf Ids fpllieg by the w eight of years .be gazed on his thousand beauties and exclaimed " all is vanity and vexation" te.' .' Neither would t Jio toto to rend any lawyer - to . the United States Senate. When he was a young man his: father wished bim to become a lawyer, but he found out that no lawver could be hon est, and so gave it, up, but he has had a great many years practice at the bur. No more loyal man than he remained at hornet during the war, and ho greatly aided our cause by peisuading lono wid ow, sons anil poor men to go forth and be Lilled or,, crippltd. ' He is. well read in Dr. Dick's works and Love-joy's lectures. If Prof, tuick docs not want the po sition of Superintendent of Schools a gaiu I shall certainly run him here. On sines and tangents he is great. I feel warranted Mr. Editor and A low citizens in saying that in order to serve the people, my candidate following in tho footsteps of the patriots it: Cali fornia a few years ago will take any thing he caii get, and will servo for a bout half of the regular salary, and do nate the rest to tj:t jjoor, and he believes that "Charity begins at lions e," Think over the few reasons I have ada:iced why we should put him in, and as. soon as I get full reports fro;i Missouri, EmpirOj City, Or., and other places in California I wiR .complete his autobiography and give you his name and address. . I am determined to see that he has a fair. show" and .occupies that position in politics ami society w hich his well known veracity, ability, education and talents Ljustly entitle him. To think that such a man has for forty years demauded a place and yet never got even the small est. All people who wish to see James G. Dlainc elected I-residei't must vote for my candidate as he is 'supporting' him. To use his own language " me'n Blaine don't differ on no point." Thus you sec Mr Editor, and fellow citizens if we secure the co-operation of my candidate the election of Blaine is sure. You surely will never again have sweet sleep and pleasant dreams visit your virtuous couches in midnight's still hour if you do not come to my aid in solid battalions and put hi in in. On the contrary every sigh of the night wind i.s it whistles over river and wooded mountains will haunt you as a requiem from the lost souls in hell. , Remember he is up for one of these phices and we must light for him from the start: U. S. Senator, Member of Congress, Governor, Secretary of fc'tate, Attorney General, Judge of the Supremo Court, State Senator, Member of ' the IJouse, Chairman Ilep. State Cen. Com., Judge of Columbia Co., GU rk County Court, Snpt. , Public Schools Columbia Co., Sheriff, Assessor, Treasurer, Justice of the Peace, and aacther place. Respectfully, J. R. FRIERS02T.

Mr. Editor, I beg leave to ask through your 'valuable paper if there is any law for taxing a man's homestead where there, has been no patent obtaiijet, aS tliisSHctus to be a very ini'p'ortant ques tion at this day, nid it is the lily coun ty in the State vHere it is done?
