' - Speaking at Dallas. We were at Dallas yesterday, 'and had the pleasure of hearing one of the most animated discussion of the campaign between the Gubernatorial candidates. The Court Bouse was densely crowded, tnany ladies being present. Gen Palmer opened the discussion with a fifteen "min utes speech which clearly proved (hat be unnecessarily distrusts his, own powers to address and entertain an audience. He poke remarkably well, referring to the " wads " fired at him in a very hapy man ner, and as happily announcing his deter mination to faithfully fulfill bis duties when elected.. Go v Woods then , occu pied over an hour of Gen. Palmer's time in ooe of the most trenchant and effective speeches we ever listened to, in which be handled the question at issue with tbe greatest point and terseness, excelling, as we thought, any effort of his we ever listened to. Most debaters excel in re joinder, but Gov. Woods' style is essen tially aggressive, and he can make his points as well at the opening as at' the close. He argued the subject of national finances with remarkable ability, fore stalling and answering all the thread--bare and flimsy pretenses of bis oppo nent to show that our national honor is involved, and that the very integrity and existence of the nation depends on its j financial credit. His exposure of tbe j consequences of an attempt to pay the debt in currency was admirable, and his description of Grover's plan to pay in greenbacks was productive of amuse ment. Tbe different plans by which Slater, Grover, Kelly, Fay and the differ ent Democratic newspapers would carry out equitable adjustment were happily delineated. The Chinese question was argued with, the same skill and success. : In fact tbe Governor was all himself at Dallas, and quoted Ben. Harding's Waconda rpeecb, denouncing agitation of the Chinese question at a humbug, against Grover, who wader, through long half hours of tedious bewilderment over the idea of John Chinaman as a voter. Us showed that neither John Chinaman nor bis chil dren can be naturalized, eel at to U commercial treaty srhita Oregoe l- j racy is bound to repudiate aa4 eeaai. fce j bowed that Oregon Detnoerefy i alone in the effort, bece U rt t' tbe party in tbegra4 coo m know that ar cosiuxne mu : one ot our best eoorres of V , that it would be worse tea U?j v ' ' the goose which lays tee $Ji n The Democrats present ata! y 4 , with astonishment while tat f explained to then that it waa ry a - made by Democratic adsiaUU-atioss ut a 1 previous Chinese eaaigraUas kJ b een encouraged, aad that tbe late treaty gave no new right to import tbe raf-eat-ing Celestials. The question of internal improvements was duly considered, and after showing hew much Oregon owes to Republican policy, Gov. Woods left the field open for his opponent, who, having been consid erably 'warmed np by the red hot points made by His Eicellency, really went through his regular routine of greenbacks and Chinamen with mora, than usual ability, but not enough to satisfy the citizens of Polk that he will do for our next Governor:. : , . ' -.. .' ; ' ."" SALEM, FRIDAY, fae" latest ' InfEiur We hT -waited for several werks'for ! the time to come to eipose the black hearted threats of the band of scoundrels, self-styled "an association 'of gentlemen,", connected with Grovet'a t3rgan at this place. It seems that t& soul of that red beaded cormorant, Bill Watkinds, was quaking with a fear that this paper would degrade itself by reciting his private his tory. Under tfeia apprehension be con cocted a scbenre to secure his peace of mind, by preparing a Tile slander attack ing tfeefearacter of the wife and daught ers of the Editor of this paper. This was snows, to a Democrat whose family is on 'ultimate terms with our own, who with well meant ideas of friendship, informed Mrs. Clarke that such a piece had been written, tcld her that it was advisable that this paper should publish 'nothing prejudicial to Watkind3,aa that scoundrel had declared to him that ra such case "be would ruin Mrs. 'Clarke and disgrace her daughters so fbat they could not marry honorable men " These were the precise words that were brought to a wife and mother, for the purpose of influencing the course of this paper. The geutleman re ferred to acted in 'good faith, no doubt, and we pardon nis fears, because he has much more faith in the power of Bash and Bill Watkinds than we happen to have. We have, of course, paid ho at tention to such Tile threats, but when it suited us to attack Watkinds, have done so, not answering a single one of the Toul slanders he is put up as bully to 'sponsor, folly knowing that they were only limited by the combined literary ca pacity of both Bush ar.d Curl. A tew days ago, in one of its disgrace ful attacks upon Judge Wilson, this organ of Grovei's threatened to attack that gentlemen's family; and in the Daily of Sunday last, this band of byenas have conjointly perpetrated, as partial fulfill ment of the original threat, a miserable insinuation against onr own family, the only poiot to which consists in the fact that Grover was at home to read it, and give it by. his silence the assent of his cowardly approval. The assassin who strikes in the dark is a hero compared to this cowardly crew, who consider themselves amenaole to no la ; who recognlxe no civilisation, would dejtroy honorable controversy an1 are themselves but the lowest dreg of politi cal meanness. No honorable party ran employ such scoundrels; and as this dirty sheet bas its support from the con tributions and offerings of Democracy, that parly is thereby condemned, dishon ored and debased. In the very outset it sank so low as to be destitute of power . to confer either calumny or praise. It bas done more to disgust honest men with Democracy than any other agent in the State. We have chosen to forestall its slanders by tbe exposure of an infnmous threat, tbat otherwise we should have treat ed with contempt. No doubt Wtkinds and Bush would ruin the character of women to destroy tbe opponents of Gro vei, but fortunately, fur woman's purity, their slanders bring no disgrace; they only add something fiercer to the damnation that awaits tbe authors. It is a happiness to believe tbat there is a hell where the evil thoughts and bad intentions of ill spent lives will be "equitably adjusted" to feed the remorse of long eternity. It bas become necessary to state these facts, even if the subject -involves the dearest relations of life and the inner happiness of the domestic circle. Here after, w'th every thought of the one who is the life and light of tbe household, whose labors, and courage, and noble confidence, have been present through so many years and such bitter vicissitudes, there will come through after years a curse upon her traducers, and henceforth in this conflict, we are thrice armed be cause we "strike tor our altars ana our .fires." , '.- ;. - ' Thank God, for it I We have no capac ity to equal these assaults, and the fami lies of these traducers shall be sooner de fended than assailed at our hands, but as for Bush, Grover, Miller, Watkinds, Curl and whoever may aid this cowardice, we pillory them in their shame and bold them np to the ineffable contempt of man and the lasting scorn of woman. A Puzzle. The report of Mr. Harding's speech at Waeooda, which we publish elsewhere, and which is no doubt a fair statement of tbat gentleman's position, will show that Mr. Colby was right when he took the position that Harding was net a Demo crat. Mr. H. may, and no doubt does, : have reasons for lending his support to that party; but lie cannot entirely smother bis own reason, nor Can he pocket all his scruples against appearing in the fic titious part of a modern Democrat (so- . called).... 'i';.; , V",' : He characterixed the outcry against . John Chinaman's long cue as simple nonsense, on the very plain ground tbat all parties agree on tbe subject. The Re publicans take the popular view of this in their platform, and tbe Democrats claim tbat they think the lame, but for some reason omitted to put themselves on the record opposed to a change la the natur alisation laws. . He speks of the greenback seheme as a afcsardity, sod calls the talk about rr teiieg tike lah aed 1 Jth Amendments ktwb. A'l this Is very true g frsw neb a source it is a lit t - t4 t 4.-riA(d.

Why don't tbe Her aid say omething aboat that "great speech of Maegeu's?" We should like to have a few of that 5,000 extra Copies for campaign purposes, just to show the real sentiment of that paper on the Repudiation question. ... A'party mast be bard ap for arguments which la compelled to use the signature of an old line abolitionist, who in his dotage bas a mania . for office, to give an .-.air, of respectability to their articltf." tiroter tfhd his Organ.' We fear that Mr Grover will go to his grave bearing his well-earned rputatio of, lacking the spinal column of essential manhood that elevates tb mn abov bin instruments and mkes. himelf iBnstr f bimseltandof the situation. Tb poor frv- low writhes anil sticggles in tbe r () a clique who owa and control him. e,ti i have secured h's nomination as D.ejo craiic candidate for 'Govffiic, brvai they know well edogh rtint thej scoul't never be so nomtbifte! tnewselves, &,d their only show of haad!ing fat things i" to do it by proxy : and poor Grover ia thi proxy. .. .--!, ' Now Grover ia asham'd of his oran, but that musical intrummt grinds ou its low and personal abu-e, and the mr he p'ea js his proverbial amiability and prays tbat even if it can't he .lucent t will bets decent as it, can, the more it disregards bis proiestaiions and violates every law of decency and every sense of right , Oaly Tuesday moraing be in formed us tbat all this was carried on without any responsibi'ity of bis that he had no rontrol of the paper, that the; were just running it for the campaign, and that he bad nothing to say about it. He alluded, to the fact in tbe presence ot Mr. J. C. Johnson, that before the com paign commenced, he had told us that be "hoped personalities would not be in dulged in ;" be also informed us that he had intended to meet us the day before, but that he didn't happen to see us, and called attention to tbe fact tbat bis or?n of that morning was unusually decent, which he intimated was perhaps (Grover is never positive, you know,) Viae to tbe fact that he had tbe day before visited "our folks," and requested them to avoid personalities, and especially to avoid any mention "of famU'.es." Of course bis organ will deny that be said these things, or that he sought us at all. So we will here add t'jal the interview took place at 9 o'clock a. m. on Tuesday, in front of Souther's drug store, on Commercial s'.reet ; tbat we were talking with Mitjor Berry when be approached and addressed us, requesting a moment's conversation, aud that tbe conversation was carried for ward in the ordinary tone, so that the tenor of it could be understood by pass ers-by. j , Notwithstanding the fact tbat Mr. Gro ver had not found it necessary to notice the infamous Bladder of Sunday, for two days, and tbat we bad good cause to be lieve he would not have done so, but for tbe disclosure made in the Staletman on Tuesday, which left tbe inference that slanders only troubled him as tht-y might react upon himself. We were willing to accept bis assurances and give him tbe benefit of tbem; certainly we had no in tention to thus make tbem public, bad his miserable sheet acted in accord"nee with bis Bugget-tions, or what be cla ra d to have urged upon them. Mr, Grover should have n.anbood and back bone enough to control bis Organ, and doubtles8'has the power if he would exercise it, and we give bim tbe Hlterna tive of the doubts tbat must arise in every mind, wbuh are these: EnberMr. Grover is tbe miserable tool we have declared bim to be, or el--"e he acted tbe hypocrite in endeavoring to disarm and prevent our attacks upon himself. Still leaving us free to be tbe subject of insult from hU Organ. We have no doubt that he is in Bush's hands like clay in tbe bands of the potter, moulded to his will and blended with his malice. We heard some years ago that Bush said he "bad worried Delazon Smith into his grave and would serve Sain Clarke the same way." At any rate we have traced all these miserable slanders tbrongh tbe intricate labyrinth of cow ardly incognito to entertain no doubt that he instigates them all. We suggest to Mr. Grover tbat the greatest chance to redeem his character, secure votes and show that he really has back bone, is to show tbat be bas power to control his own Organ and make it assume, for tbe rest of its brief existence, tbe appearance of decency. Not iu the least, however, on our account. More Democratic Trickery. We have steadily declared that the Sa lem clique, meaning thereby Grover'a friends and supporters, and tbe brilliant band of journalists who own bim, twist him around their fingers and make him assume any attitude they please, are work ing with tbe sole end to secure his election and are willing to sacrifice any and every man who stands in the way. This is es pecially proven by . late transactions in Yamhill county, narrated to us by per sons who are well informed. It seems tbat Bill Newby is going around, to per sons known as Republicans, offering tbem a draft for $30, on Salem, payable on the 6th day of June, election day, conditioned that they have not voted on tbat day. Of course the draft would only be paid too late for them to vote at all, and so prevent their voting against Grover. This shows bow desperate they consider their cause generally, and bow., much they ap preciate the value of every vote. There is another part of the Yamhill business that will entirely disabuse the . mind of any belief tbat the above described trans actions are intended for the benefit of tbe county ticket ' of Yamhill,"or to elect Democratic Representatives from that county, for several Republican candidates for county offices have received tbe moat extravagant prom ises.such as that for eve ry vote they can secure from their friends and supporters for Grover, as many Dem ocratic Votes shall be cast for five county candidates on the Republican ticket, 'or that five democratic votes shall be cast for the individual attempted to be tamper, ed with. Democracy ; is tottering to it fall, and it is to be hoped that every man who has Republican sympathies, will stand true to his. sentiments and refuse to tamper or be tampered - with. ' Let us "stand by and see the . salvation of tbe Lord." Not as mere idle spectators, but as patriotic . citizens . leading a hand Three weeks more wilt tell the story. Tbe very trepidation our opponents are in sboald make us firmer than ever and stronger for Uhe work.; It would bean injustice to the "retirea artist to tIndian vouchers,", John F. Miller."

The question of Chinese citi-enabip, iesid, Was not and could not be made an issue in this campaign, and be douh -ed very much w'uether it would ever c- -rioosly divide the people of this cgas Bo'h parties here were alike opposed It. Besides, ne said there was no prob h lity ibat the Cl.inaman would ever ask to riecome a citizen, and " if be did be ' 'oul'l not under" our naturalization la w g. f He showed from ' b- 4' h S-c,of the A nr of Congress of the 14th of April, 1P.02, es tablishing a uniform rule of nsturalKZ-i tion, and from Supreme Court decisions1; that the children of alien residents, torn in this country, were oot iciti2ens and could not become citizens if their parents could not under the naturalization laws and the clildren of alien residents who might, -under the law, be naturalized were not even citizens. He thought, therefore, a'.l talk about Cbinese cit'zen ship in this campaign nonsense and dem Mgngis m. Speaking : of the late treat; w'th, tbe Chinese Empire, be said the ob jevt and end of tbat treaty, like the for- r treaties, were to extend and enlarge on commerce witn mat nation ; inat u secured to us commercial advantages that we never etjoyed before, and that this na tron, and tbe people of this coast in par ticular, could not afford to lose the trade and commerce of that great empire. He showed tbat bur principal commerce in tbe future must be with those Asiatic nations and from whom we would derive our commercial greatness. He thought it the part of wisdom for tbe statesmen of this coast to promote tbe most friendly relations with Asiatic nations tbat we migbt secure ; over other nations their trade and commerce. He could not therefore concur in tbe opinion expressed by many of bis Demcratic friends tbat the Burlingame treaty securing to us only commercial advantages, should be repeal ed. On tbe question of tbe payment of the national debtj? be said there was now no other way of paying that debt except in coin, since the receut decisions of the Supreme Court made coin the only 1 gal tender 5 that we had to pay it dollar for dollar in coin and tbat all talk about paying it any other way was twaddle. Tbe repeal of tht 14'h and 15th Amend ments was simply an impossility, be said. He differed with the Republican party on que-tioos of tariff and tbe administration of the affairs ot tht State. Shoo Fly Gallowat. -a youth to fur tune and f me unknown, t.atned Dili Gal loway, or Gallows-way, who has been for some time attending school here, but is tffo naturally a De mocrat to be able to spell a line correctly, is announced as otie of the Democratic omn.rs of the cam paign to champion tbe caue through three counties. He has been an associ ate sub local editor for a fortnight past of Grover's delectable Organ, and though cormorant Watkinds has pronounced bim "a d n tool," be is is to be sent forth to belch tbe meanness be las so lately feasted on. He is a squirt, as all bis school mates say; hasn't as much sense as a last years birti's nett, and will, if he can find a room to speak in bis travels have an audience of as many empty benches as the place affords It be don't snap bis bead eff or put bis neck out of joint, he may live to be a full fledged Or egon Copperhead. Another Scheme - A friend from Leb- anon tells us of another idea tbat is in the' Democratic mind at that point. It seems tbat there is a certain' Democrat of tbat locality, who was not afraid to fight for his ideas of Southern independence, and who evidently means to do right. This man was talking abont repudiation, when a Republican friend inquired what he understood by repudiation. He re plied that his plan was to pay the debt at once and thut itop the interest. How tbat man will open bis eyes when he b ars Grover's proposition to pay two-thirds of the debt at times for twenty years. We fancy that be will lose one vote if be makes bis position fully understood. And there are hundreds of men ia Ore gon like this one, who are too honest to endorse such schemes if they only hear them from the lips of tbe candidates. r. Another Tom Sdckkt.- After Col. Jas. K. Kelly had finished a high toned Demo cratic speech at Lafayette the other day, be was heartily embraced by a drunk en Irishman, who having read in the Democratic papers thct Tom Suckey had kissed Gen. Palmer, determined that no Si wash should exceed him in persona zeal. , So when the unfortunate Colonel had made his speech, bis Irish friend, with feelings aroused by many a dram, enthusiastically threw both arms aroond him and smacked bird on either cheek. Poor Kelly had to submit to tbe Demo cratic embrace, bdt he will remember Tom Suckey and bis Irish prototype to his latest day j.

Sals of Timber Lands. We hare re ceived from Senator Corbett a copy ot the bill introduced by bim into tbe Senate of the United States April 28, providing for the sale of timber lands iu Oregon, Wash ington Territory and California, so that the same can be made available for lorn bering. By tbe terms of the bill, these tends can be sold to persons at $1 25 per acre, to tbe extent of 640 acres to each person or corporation. ' This measure is proposed to favor the settlers of tbe coast counties whose business depends upon thet manufacture of lumber from native foiests, on lands mostly unsurveyed; and will no doubt pass and reconcile tbe al leged infractionsof U. S. !aw in convert log timber on government lands to private n-ie. It is to be hoped that it may satisfy tho wants of those engaged in lumbering on the coatt and elsewhere. Os the Movi. The New Orleans Times says.- A gentleman of tbla city , a large planter, jut returned from Chattanooga, reports tbat by the renlar official ac counts at this place. 31,000 negroes bate passed through on their way to tbe States of Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana. This influx is steadily increas ing, and from tbe accounts which reach ns of tbe great satisfaction of the negroes from tbe old States who bave emigrated to this State, the bigb wages, tbey com mand on the sugar plantations, and tbe flowing accounts they write back to their relatives and friends in the States of Vir ginia and the Carolines, we should not be surprised if tbe seaboard States were r-lieei, in a very short period, of their whole negro populations " The Yamhill Democrats bave nomina ted one educated man. H. Carse is a graduate of Oberlin College the "nig ger" school where a few poor whites were admitted out of charity. Of course he is a "bed rocker." A harked change bas come over -the Southern mind in regard to the value of the free negro. A little time ago it n stoutly asserted that whites , and free blacks could not live peaceably together, and sundry colonisation schemes were proposed. But now, when tbe colored people seem inclined to leave their old haunts, and are actually leaving by thou sands for other localities, the papers are full ol lamentations Tbey protest that the freed men are tbeir best laborers, and that tbeir presence and industry are nec essary to material prosperity. This change in sentiment, as it is wrought out by actual needs, may be reckoned at genuioe ; and we believe that ere long tbe white and tbe black at tbe South will live barmoniousiy. A descendant of the , original Peters tbos accounts for tbe "blue laws" of Connecticut: "Duritg the Revolution a Tory of Lebanon, named Peters, made himself so distasteful to his townsmen tbat tbey took bim and were about to tar and feather biro; but be was rescued from tbem, and placed on board an Eng lish ship and taken to London. Here, being penniless, be made bis living by writing for tbe papers. He wrote what are now know as 'bine laws as tbe veri table laws of Connecticut, they being burlesques of the then existing, laws. His work; wat 10 profitable that It was continued, till, thet volume cf Jbloe laws and fictitious history of Connecticut was tbe result." SPECIAL NUllCfcS. WILLIAM DAVID8OK.
