Captain Upton of the Mounted Dra-
gOOns, and the Wing Lie about "NOsc
Pulling,


gOOns, and the WING Lie about Nose
PuIIing.''
We introduce the following extract from the Lo-
gansport Democratic Pharos," of August 26, under
the above conspicuous head, because we wish to call
the attention to the statements here made not only
of our own citizens, but of those also who may come
into official and personal contact with Captain TPToN
elsewhere We know not how he may interpret the
obligations which the laws of personal honor aud
gentlemanly feeling should impose upon every man
under such circumstances, but it to us that no
consideration-no even party success-should induce
gentleman to suffer his to be used to give
force and effect to base and infamous fasehOod. 1t
may strike Captain Tipton's mind differently. At
any rate, the Whg party had the benefit of the lie,
50 far their own party was concerned,-for of
course no Democrat ever for moment believed it; /;
and now let their editors and politicians who fabri
Gated it and aided in giving it currency, take the
stigma which the tacit admission of Captain Upton
HIMSELF of the mtruth Of the charge unquestionaby
shows them to be obnoxious to.

WILLIAM SrEwART.-We find the following no.
tice of Mr. Stewart in the Salem Nelcs of August 2I
Considering that the compliment comes from an in
veterate Wing, it is strong testimony in favor of Mr.
Stewards personal merits. We copy the notice for

before the election; but who since his election are
rapidly beginning to discover his merits
81 Since we must have some Bocofocos elected to
our Stale Legislature il gratiies us to announce the
election of our old friend, VIM. STEWART, to the
State Senate from the county of Marion. Mr.. S. is
young man, and so far knowledge extends, this
is the first time he has for Office. He is a
miller by trade and TO his credit be it said, that by
his own exertions, lie has given himself Collegiate
education. lie is not of that rabbId cast of pCliti
clans who distract Legislature and enact laws
which prove to be curse TO the people. He possesses
talents of a high order and if mistake not he will
do honor to the station which the people of Marion
county have called him to f
0TWe publish to-day the speech of Mr.. Benton,
made in secret session of the Senate on the Oregon
treaty. This speech observes the Union, explains
with great force the true meaning of the convention
it regards the navigation of the Columbia. 1t de-
MES, and we are happy to agree with the Senator,
that the convention does convey to the Hudson Bay
Company and to I" all British subjects trading with
the same," the right of navigating the Columbia
forever. We unfortunate enough to differ with
the senator in one respect, connected with this
point He says the license begins to take cf-
feet in the year 1912, and therefore runs to 1862
when the rights of navigation under the late conven
tion Will expire. We hold the contrary, that the
second royal grant began in 1885, that it runs for
twenty-one years, and of expires in 1859,
when the right of navigation in the Hudson Bay
Company ceases. Upon another point we differ with
the senator from Missouri. We deny that there were
two Hudson Bay Companies, and two charters, and
prepared, if necessary, to make good our
positions"
OL.5-Senator Haywood has published, through tie
"Union," long address to his constituents, expana-
tory of his singular upon the Tariff question.
1t is most lame and mpotent affair. He excuses
himself foE resgning, among other reasons, because
he ''beieved the bill was unwise ard full of mischief
to the Republic" If he did so believe it was his i'm
peratve duty to rote against IL, and not TO shun that
duty and its responsibilities, by resigning. At the
very best only say for him, that if not cor
rupt, he displayed great weakness-an if not want
ing in principle he was altogether wanting firm
ness and independence. Those who act from merce-
nary motives or from notions of expediency instead
of principle, will of course endeavor palliate Mr.
Haywcod's unlustifable position. Not so those who
are governed by their convictions Of what is RIGHT.

TAIN ITS PRINcIPLEs-The best way make these the
principles of the people, is by discussing them fairly
before the people, with as little appeal to passion
possible And the first element of party success is
party union; but there can be no union, except in
faithful adherence TO principles in the legislation o
the country. Democratic principles, and Democratic
measures fairly corresponding with them and the COO
judgment of the people ON them, will make the Demo-
