TROUBLES IN OREGON.

The St. Louis Republican says that
letters have been received from Oregon
as late as the 10Th Of October. One let
ter saws that the settlement had been
threatened with an Indian war; by a
combination Of three Of the most power.
ful Indian tribes west of the Rocky
Mountains, and although when united
and acting in concert, they are said to'be
abundanly able to destroy all the Indians
in the Territory, still without union, they
may be cut off in detail. The letter con-
IinueS.
"We have also had troubles about land
claims, aud have the prospect, Of course,
of much more, as they country becomes
more thickIy settled. Under these CirN
cumstances we have been obliged 10 form
government OfOur own, and have ac-
cordidgIy adopted The Constitution and
laws Of the Territory OF Iowa, with Vari.
Gus alterations and additions; have chos-
EN- an executive committee of three, viz:
A. Beers, D. Hill, andJ. Gale; a Su-
preme Judge, RusseIla Secretary of The
Territory, G. W. LeBreton; Justices OF

committee, &c. W. have also a local
and a general temperance society, of
which the Rev. Jason Lee is President,
and have the honor Of bel Dg Secretary.

and these offices, and my other avoca.
tons, will keep nae very much cOnfn-
ed"
Is there another government in the
world, civilized, cbrislianized or savage,
tbat would abandon her people TO the
outrages, the abuses and the massacres
OF hostile foe, as has that Of these chiv.

No, verify. Shame upon those paltry
partisaRs, who, absorbed in partyism and
partisan wraDgling on every little con-
temptible quibble, will not hold out Ell
ther aid or sympathy 10 the brave sPir'
lis, who with their lives in their hands,
have penetrated the iRterminable forests
of the farthest West, and built their hous.
es in the very midst Of most mighty
enemy to the encroaChments Of ciViliZa-
ilon.
It's not in the nature Of things that
war bloody. desperate and ex'ermina'
ting, if possible, shall not come upon
our people in Oregon; sooner or laIel
it will come, and he who thinks it viii
not, does not reflect that the settlemen

PROMISES IN POETRY AND
PROSE.

Again, as in 1910, the coon party are
dealing out their promises to the peo-
pie with liberal hand. In 1910 Mr..
Clay in his famous Hanover, Va, speech
made to influence the elections, he
SAID:
"The fact of the election Of VIM H.
Harrison, without reference TO the meas
ures OF bis administration will powerful
ly contribute to The security and ha3Pi'
ness Of the people. 1t will bring aSsu'
rance OF the cessation of that long series
OF disastrous experiments which have so
greatly afflicted the people. Confidence
will Immediately revive, credit will be
restored, active business will return, pri-
ces Of products will rise, and the people
will feel and know that, instead Of their
servants being occupied in dsVising
measures for the ruin and destruction.
they will be assiduouSly employed in pIO.
noting their welfare and prosperity"
After what followed it would scarcely
be supposed that the same party would
venture again before the voters with an
other set Of promises while the old ones
were all forfeited, and the remembrance
of each one still fresh; but so il is, they
are at it again, and singing them too
Lock at this, from ono of their songs
and compare it with what Harrison prom
ised:
1.-The laboring men who want more
And higher wages too, work
Will help to put in Henry Clay,
With better times in view:
Thsy'I saw and chop, and grub and Dig
And shovel and shovel away,
And shovel, shovel, shovel, shovel,
And vote for Henry Clay"
