Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, and Atlantic and Pacific, it was agreed that the tariff and special contract rates, between eastern through points of he United States and Oannda, and Portland, Oregon, shall, until fur ther notice, be the same as these in effect this day between eastern through points aad San Francisco. Thus the chains that bind the State of California have been riveted upon the people of Oregon. What bensfit do the people of Oregon sr Washington de rive from a road that takes all the profit and leaves tho producer or .merchant barely a subsistence. Southern Oregon has long since proved the value of railroad communication and only awaits the day when northern Or egon has thesame experience, to demand of the legislature a relief from their bur dens. Standing on its Eecord. Portland Daily?Standard.3 No Democrat will for an instant hesitate to take the Republican party on the merits of its record. If the Re publican party will spread before the public a truthful statement of its past history, Democrats in order to carry the next olectien, would only have to make their nominations, and, at that point, end the campaign work. According to the recent Republican party platforms, it is averred that the record of that party in the past affords the best guarantee of the party's pur pose and acts in the future. If that is true, and the people of this country would judge the' Republican party by that past as an earnest of the future, and elect or rejVct upon the merit of tha whole, the Democratic party would have little or nothing to do in the cam paign, except to appropriately accept the administration. The record of the Republican party must convince the honest people of this country that there is neither honor or safety left in that party. It is not an exageratiort to say that from the spring of 1861 to the beginning of March 1862, there was more rascality, more robbery of every sort, and by members of $he Republi can party in power, than there had been in the previous 50 years. When the war closed, the aggregate of stealings had become simply incalculable. Who may tell of tho millions squandered by jlqbeson in making a poor navy the poorer; how much by infamous Belk pap and Lis Republican associatesl When the outraged people at last de. inanded an investigation, a Republican Congress rtfused to do it, as long as re fusal wag possible; in fact whitewashed the gang of political thieves, every one ftf them. The Republican party so far from being shocked into decency by the wkJrinPanJtlieiraccouiPaniments' ; , nn .
