ne,A.rusr OF rHr Osesor EMIoRANTs.---
On Monday last part Of the Oregon ComPa.
ny formed ia this place, took up It's line OF
march for that Territory. The remainder was
detained until the next day ia fitting up Tor
the journey, gathering their cattle together
&c, when it moved on 10 join the other, which
had encamped few miles out Of town. Al.
ter crossing Cedar. number Of their cattle
s.raysd of. Search has since been made tor
them, bot withou, success. Two or three yoke
Of oxen belonging to members Of the compa.
ny s,rsyed few days before their departure
which have not ye. been found.
The company smoved from Cedar TO the
west fork OF the Wapsioonock and encamped
to await the arrival of those who had gone in
search Of the cattle. From that place it would
again take up i.s line Of march on yesterday
afternoon or this morning.
We sincerely regret. that our friends have
been so unfortunate thus early on their jour-
ney. Each mess had provided itself with
team sufficient for the worst Of roads, plenty
Of provisions, good ssnts-io short. everything
which it was thought would be necessary on
their journey.
We do not know the exact number of souls
embraced in the company. There were, We
believe, ten families. and eight or nine young
men. A company Of ten young men who left
Cedar county week previous, will await the
arrival Of this company at The Raccoon forks
of the Des Moines. From thence they will go
10 Council Bluffs, where they hope to meet
companies from the States, making the forces
strong enough to protect them from the lndi-
ans on their route. They were led 10 expec,
about an equal number from Burlington, but
i.turns out that they were talking only---it hav.
ing ended as it began-in wind.
CoRREcTioK.---Last week we had the au.
thori,y Of the Lee County Democrat fer say
ing that the Democratic party 10 that county
would be united in the appro aching election
for members Of the House Of Representatives.
which. as appears by the last number bf the
Democrat. was written under misapprehen.
: sion. After conversiog with many persons
from different parts Of the county on tina. cub
ject, the editor says he is satisfied The mex,
election, so far as regards the Representatives
evil go Of on local question. reloca.
ton Of the county seat.
This is truly lamentable, and as we remark.
ed upon first noticing the matter. renders a
stronger effort necessary on The part Of the
democracy Of the other counties to secure The
House OF Representatives against the log. rol
ling schemes Of our adversaries. Were thu
Democrats united in other parts of the Terri
tory the success Of the party would not be
endangered, by the division in Lee. but, to the
shame Of our parry be it said, in several o,he,
counties we are, between men aid measures,
90 divided that. without greater concessions
than our friends have heretofore been willing
10 make, we are in danger of a result simila,
to that at the last election.
Among the Democratic counties which las,
year sent whig Representatives, there is no,
one less excusable than Muscatine. Withou,
the semblance Of a local question to divide Us,
such az exist 10 other counties, for the wan,
OF proper interchange of feeling we suffered
our zeal to abate. the consequence Of which
was defeat. Shall it be the case again, /,
inevitably will unless the best of feeling is
obtained and preserved. ~
Although we have clear majority in the
county. success is by no means certain uuless
we are perfectly united. We have vioilan,
and watchfal opponeo. to contend with /: thew
know that their success depends alone upon
d'sa'1ecs'on in our ranks, consequently they
will be ready 10 avail ,hsmselves Of tho leas,
d'su"ion, tanning the embers of discord, en-.
deavoring to widen whatever breach NAV be
created In our ranks.
There is bot one way in which We can sue
coed. and that is by living up to the motto Of
that champion Of Democracy, Thos. H. Ben.
