Olympia, June30. L. F. Bcatty, a prom

TUESDAY.
July 4lh. 1811.
Xinety-five years ago to-day a new
nation was born. There were thirteen
Colonies on tbe Atlantic coast, embrac
ing an area of half a millon miles and
a population of three millions. Most
of tbe people had been from their birth
subjects of tbe British crowt.. They
knew but little about the science of
government and the art of war. Pre
suming npon tbeir helplessness, an no
wise monarch bad by various oppres
sive measures driven them to take np
arms in defense of tbeir liberties. For
more than a year they bad been en.
razed in the contest. They had &
small army, imperfectly organized,
poorly clothed and fed, and from nt
cessity, scattered over ft vast fi-ld of
operations. A large portion of tbe
Colonists did not sympathize with
hose in arms. All along the western
and northern frontiers there were
hordes of savages ready on tbe least
encouragement to apply the torch and
use the war club to tbe extermination
of the infant settlements. In front and
menacing every sea-port rrtre large
and well disciplined forces in tbe serv-
ce of the most powerful nation in the
world. To enable tbe oppressed Amer
icans to carry on their war for liberty,
tbey had no well regulated system of
government, no allies, no money and
but a poorly developed infJastry. Yet
n tbe face of all these diflicnlties, the
representatives of the people of tbe
Colonies in tbe Continental Congress
assembled, appealing tu the Supreme
Ruler of the world fjr the rectitude of
their intentions and relying upon Him
for protection, on the 4th day of July,
177-S, fortaerally proclaimed tbe polit
ical creed of the new world that alt
men are created t qual " and that tbe
people, not the King, are sovereign.
Extraordinary as was this action, and
hopeless as seemed their cause, by tbe
aid of tbe Divine Providence upon
which they relied, their tffjrts were
successful, even beyond tbeir most
sanguine hopes. From a little band of
Colonies, without a power and with
bat few friends in the world, tbe Re
public which they founded has grown,
within little more than tbe alloted life
time of an individual, to be a great
family of Republics, embraciag thirty
sevetr States and ten Territories, with
a population of forty millions stretch
ing from ocean to ocean. Some of the
evils which our fathers could not rem
edy have been corrected by tbeir eons.
Tbe foot of the slave pollutes oar soil
no longer. Ia wealth, in science and
letters, in influence and honor our Re
public stands to-dy pre-eminent among
the nations of the earth.
Let us honor our nation's birib d y
Let ns lay aside all partisan feelings,
all sectional prejudices, and remember
only that we are Americans. Yes, let
even personal animosities and family
feuds be forgotten to-day while we jiin
oar fellow countrymen of every class
and every sphere in life at tbe shrine
of Liberty. Let as think of tbe brave
men who purchased the blessings we
now enjoy with tbeir blood, upon tbe
field of honor, and resolve to show our
gratitude to tbem by a life of earnest xeal
for liberty, exhibited in laboring to an.
derstand and to faithfully discbarge
onr dutiel as citizens. Let as think
of the lessons of the past and the
warnings of our fathers and determine
to profit by them in tbe future. As
tbe bright pages of our history are re
called and tbe brilliant prospects of
the years to come present themselves
to onr minds, let onr hearts rejoice and
our voices chant toe musie of gladness.
We will not have done oar duty unless,
before tbe sun of this oar ninety-fifth
anniversary goes down, we shall each
ot os have done something by thought,
word or deed to renew and strengthen
tbe love of country in' at least one
heart.
We feel much gratification in receiv
ing expressions of good will from
many persons who are our political
opponents, but wbo were shocked at
tbe murderous attack made on tbe 14th
of June, and are disgusted at tbe farce
made of jastice at tbe trial on last Fri
day. We do not charge this crime on
the patty but on the King which con
trols it her in Salem. We expect to
be abused and belied by tbe organs oi
tbe Ring like the Democratic r; and
in view of the public sympathy du
played, irrespective of party, we can
afford to treat such men as Urban E.
Hkks with the contempt they deserve.
We learn from a prominent Democrat
of Ibis city that Watkiuds told him of
his intention to kill Clarke, and the
gentleman esked him what Clarke
could ever do to get even with tbe
abuse be heaped on biro in 1870 in the
I'm.
The WaUlnds Outrage-
To show that we have not been misled
by personal feeling to mislute the case
against Wm. II. Watkinds, we give below
the affidavits which were filed before Judge
Terry on the preliminary examination. Tbe
affidavits are disinterested persons, and as
will bo observed, they are of the best class
of our citizens and represent both political
parties :

seemed to strike him and he jumped off the
sidewalk into the street and drew his pistol.
While he was drawing his pistol I looked
at Cbirke and be was standing still ra'uing
his hat from over his eyes where it was
broken down, and was looking to see
where Watkinds was. Clarke then turned
a ad started into Mjer's store by the north
door ; as he went towards the store Wat
kinds followed up with his pistol in bis
band, and as he stepped into the store Wa'
kinds stepped upon the walk and fired.
Clarke then stepped between the two iron
doors swung back together. Watkinds
weut up and pointed his pistol between the
door and the casing or very near to it anu
fired. I saw Clarke in there. After that
shot, I saw Watkiuds dodge bock and forth
from one door to tha other as if be was
looking into tbo crnek to see where Clarke
was, and he fired once or twice making
lour shota that he fired in all. The lat I
!iaw of Clarko was when be fired through
the crack of the door. I saw Coffee com

man and he did so.

tbe two BilderSieck brothers were murder
ed in a canyon near tbis city, it was sup
pose 1, by Allenion Gardner. Al. Henry
and a notorious cbarater known as Buck
skin Bill. Gardner was shortly afterwards
arrested, and is now in jail. Search after
Buckskin Bill and Henry was unsuccessful
until now. From information received
here, Sheriff Burns started for Lower Cali
fornia, procured tho necessary papers from
the Governor of that province, and after
weeks of search, the pursuers came within
ten feet of Buckskin Bill before he was
aware of their presence. Buckskin Bill
grabbed one of tbo men's guns, which
went off and the ball entered Buckskin's
left side below the heart. He died in two
hours. He made a lungthy confession of
the murder, ne stated that he, A1. Heory
and Gardner murdered and buried the
Bilderbeck Brothers, but that Gardner did
tbe shooting. Henry accompanied Buck
skin in his flight,, but is now mi.'sing.
There is no doubt Buckskin Bill killed him
to get rid of a witness.

the first and best artists on the coast, who

An electric battery was tho center of at
traction on our streets yesterday for a short
time, but a rumor spread through the vast
assemblage that the proprietors of the
Overland Storo in Union block, would be
ready to serve their customers, ns soon as
they could get India lace shawls, embroi
dcry, etc., piled out so i s to bo at a conve
nient distance for tbeir clerks to dispose of.
All at once a grand stampede was made for
that place, and throughout the day and a
good portion of tbo night they sold, or
rather gave away half the contents of their
store. As soon as the store could be ch ared
they commenced unpacking more goods for
tc-day. Bo su. e and get there in time or

Orf.gos is the East. Mr. E. M. Waite,
of this city, who bus just returned from a
visit to his old homo in Massachusetts,
says there is very general interest awakened
in regard to Oregon throughout the old
States, caused pr.rtly by the efforts made
by our citixens, advertising the re
sources of the State, but chiefly by the pros
pect of the early completion of the U. P.
R. R. and the favorable notice which that
Company gires of Oregon in its advertise
ments of bonds. Such advertisements arc
of course very widely circulated.
Wo would invito the attention of our
readers to the special notices of the Oregon
Candy Factory, which place is speedily be
coming one of the greatest resorts for the
fashionable of our city. Mr. Holbert, the
proprietor, is au energetic businoss man,
as will be seen by the new soda fountain
which he has just received and which will
be in use to day nt Marion Square and in
the evening at the Skating Rink, together
with ice cream, candies, etc. The fountain
and ice cream stand will lie a permanent
thing hereafter at the Rink.
Masqerade Skating. A new order of
things will be made at the skating rink
this evening, which will be one of the
greatest attractions in our city to-night. It
having never been made use of here before,
that is a masquerade skatin party, per
sons can enjoy themselves whether masqucd
or not. The Wcbft Band will be an ad
ditional attraction if their services can pos
sibly bo obtained by the proprietor, who
says be intends that everybody shall cujoy
themselves that visits his rink.
Almost a Fire. A circumstance occur
red in South Salem a few days since, which
would have been of a serious nature had
not Mr. Bash happened in and extinguished
it. A little child of Dr. McCaulcy was
playing in the room, and seeing a piece of
paper on the floor set fire to it, and would
have bnrncd the entire building had not
that gentleman dropped in and saved a gen
eral conflagration.

able feature of the procession was a car

AT THE SQL-ARE THE ORATIO.
At the Square the Salem Musical Union
sang, " God made all nature free," and af
ter prayer by the Cbsplain and the brass
bands, Hon. B. F. Bonhara was introduced
and read the Declaration of Independence
Thi Muical Cnion sang an appropriate
air, aftr which Hon. R. P. Boise, being in
troduced by Gov. J rover, delivered the
Oration. It was interesting throughout
and commanded tbe attention of the assem
blage from beginning to end. Tbe speaker
alluled to the circumstances nnder whieh
the Declaration of Independence was made,
tlio weakness of the Colonies nt the time.
and the cootempt with which tbe titled no
bility of the Old World received the declar
ation of the American Congress, and then
painted in eloquent , language tbe
wonderful effect which the doctrine
promulgated by our fathers ninety-five
years ago had bad, not only upon the Amer
ican continent but also upon the nations
across the Atlantic. So tbe prophecy
which is sometimes made by men of pre-
j tended learning, that our Republic like
those of Greece and Rome, is destined to
crumble into ruin, he argued that there is
no gHd ground upiro which to base such a
prophecy, tbat our civilization is so superior
ti theirs that no parallel can ba drawn be
tween their condition and ours. They had
I not the knowledge of the marinor's compass,
I nor the telegraph, nor tbe r.iilroad, nor tbe
! art of printing. We have all these. In a
i few years the most distant portions of the
Republic can oommunicate with tbeir Rep
; resentatives at Washington, and in a few
j dnys troops can be sent to any part of the
j nation. By means of tbe printing press in
formation concerning public affairs is spread
broadcast all over the land, aud by means
of our system education it is within the
power of every citizen to be fully prepared
to discharge bis duties. Then by means of
our dual system of government, tbe gen
eral government being confined to mat
ters of National interest and local
affairs being left to the State and city Gov
ernments we have a better means for obtain
ing the kind of legislation we want and for
correcting esrors in this respect. Our leg
islators are our neighbors, and if they ex
act bad laws we can send up, iu their stead,
good men, who will repeal the objectionable
measures and give us those we order. Ho
commended the interests of education to
the people, and approved the acquisition,
by proper means, of tcrritorv suited to our
institutions, fearing no danger from that
source. The address closed with patriotic
sentiments eloquently expressed.
The Musical I'oion then sang the " Star
Spangled Bauncr," and after music by the
bands, the assemblage dispersed.

Next in turn came the ancient order of
"Plugs." Tbe most marked featuro of
which was ShulU, the escaped convict, who
has become so notorious of late, anil whose
name is as familiar among. t us as that old
phrase "Shoo Fly." Ho skulked along tbe
streets and by-ways dressed in full uniform
with a shackle npon his foot, which rather
impeded bis progress, but he with untiring
patience, stopped and filed away at it every
few moments in a genuine wurkinanlikike
manner.
THE E.IGI-fE'DRILL.
Toward evening the Multnomah Steam
Engine paraded tbe streets, headed by the
Aurora Brass Band, to exhibit herself and
to display her capacity for throwing water,
but before she got steam up the fire bell
sounded a general alarm, which brought
out the Salem Department on the double
quick, who set their engines and had a
stream of water mounting high up into the
air before tbe frightend spectators could col
lect tbeir scattered sense. As usual.
Capital Engine Co., No. 1, threw the
first water, and therefore won the laurels.
But, as steam is more powerful than mus
cle, the fire eagine threw more water and
threw it higher than the Salem hand en
gines. For a considerable time one and
afterwards two Urge steady streams were
thrown over the top of tbe Chemeketa
Hotel, and even over the top of tbe flag
staff surmounting the building. The water
was thrown as much as one hundred feet
above ground, and tb IV With old hose ; with

nigh flooded the Chemeketa Hotel, they

was tbeir old engine in Portland and
threw a stream that would have extin
guished the stars had there been any out at
thetiiui. After concluding the drill the
engines were boused, and everybody waited
with patience for tbe fire-works, which,
however, proved to be of a brief and not
very brilliant character. Tbo streets were
crowded with people all day, but tbe cele
bration passed off in a quiet manner, with
but few accidents or fights. We can safely
say that almost everybody was satisfied
with the manner in which they had celebra
ted the Ninety fifth Anniversary of Ameri
can Independence. - "
