Ho was ono of our first subscribers, and says we xan count on him during his lifetime, Union. Again, like the preacher's "old old story," we present for the readers of Tiik ScotT, and into whose hands it may chance to fall in other lands, a claim to your indulgence. We will state thai this article is written in and for the interest of Union and her en terprising citizens. We know there are some who will dissent from us in our views, but they arc u class in which the elements of dissent, distrust and wilful contrariness are so deeply en grafted into their natures that it is al most a necessity to their existence to dissent nevertheless we have a class of citizens here who are anxious to see the prosperity of our city increase, and who, when an enterprise is on foot which is likelv to be of benefit to the place, are readv to lend a helping hand, and by so doing increase their store of usefulness and wealth. It is well known, and every person in this valley, who, when he takes an impartial iew of the matter admits that for natural advantages Union is in the lead of any other town in the valley. True it is we have not solidly built blocks of brick, stone or Italian marble, but we have the elements i f success hero and we propose to suc ceed. We have a large country tribu tary to us and as the country settles up with the inpouring tide of immi gration, we will undoubtedly will have our streets on either side studed with a better class of buildings, just as fast as the ligitimate urowlh of Union and her prosperous surroundings call for them. The evil effects of building a town or trying to build a town in ad vance of its ligitimate wants have been sadly felt in several other towns in this state, and file citizens of Union, while they will use all means in their power to build up the town, propose to profit by the too rapid growth of other towns, and ask for increased fa cilities as fast as we really require them. We have staled often befoie that we have certain objects which we not only hoped to obtain but which we intend to have, and we say now that we are securing as fast, perhaps, as it is mete for us so to have. Our under current is sufficiently strong to carry us through, and it is only a matter of time that the tide of prosperity will be sweeping into this quiet city, and then our outside neighbors will wonder how and by what means we have accom plished so much. Patience and perse verence have been the nioito of our citizens, and now soon our hopes may be realized, and Union attain to the sphere she lias so long and anxiously been looking forward to. READ Ai REFLECT ! What Have we Done? Cornucopia, Or, June 20, ISSS. Editor Scour: Great Jove! What unpardonable sin have the people of Union county com mitted, that thy bitterest vial of wrath should be poured out among them, like scorching streams of love issuing from Pvle canyon? I would ask thee, Great Jove, if he is unable to hold his disappointed contents to get Vulcan to assist and bar down t lie crater, lest poor weak humanity should lose their fastning and wander en masse to thy rocky fastness, and set up such a howl of supplication at thy greatness that your ponderous sides might give way and a worse plague follow than visited Egypt in her most lousy times. Do we not live in a progressive age, that means change? Ever since the first covered wagon loaded in Pike county, Missouri, and basked its red sides in the setting sun of Grande Rondo Val ley, Union county has gono democrat ic, and for ages before, for it was then wild. Then because tho right dog did not howl at the right, time, a volcano must burst in our midst, sending out dense volumes of smoke, having, how ever, ono redeeming quality itbrought rain beinir more beneficial to the county than tho entire wrath of the democratic party, for tho next two years at least. Would it not be better to lay aside all animosities and local party issues aud look forward with a spirit of fairness to the first great prin ciples that have made us in so short a time the greatest nation on the earth, believing that they alone have tho right to govern who are governed and tliut the voice of the people is right? The expression of Eastern Oregon was not so much the result oi panics, but of an issue. While all candid thinking people must know that there is corruption and fraud in both par ties, and right here he that is not guilty let him cast the first stone. Perfection may surround some people, but I have an idea they are dead. It would seem the nearer the two parlies aro equal, tho closer tho balanco and tho better tho adjustment, acting like two streams of water pouring into a basin from opposite diiections, ming ling together below and finding their lovol. Then speak not bitterly of man kind, unsay what thou has said, mind cannot mind despise, it is itsilf. The great and good aro friends and ho is but half great who is not good. Yours Truly, W.T. B.
