As the time fo1 the election approaches matters of
political interest discussed, aud men and measures

all freemen, whether high or low rich poor, the
priceless privilege Of thinking and voting tbey

epose the greatest confidence in the people, the hardy
yeomanry, that pride and strength oil every State and
government. And let ask who they cOnfide more
trustingy in than he WHO is a yeoman, and the
bread for himself and family ''by the sweat of his

None, of course. Who among the people in Oregon
stands that have described General

gate who will represent Oregon, the whole of it
who has ascended her remotest hills and travelled her
extensiee Valleys and knows the whole territoTy-s
and its Who has done this but Lane,
and who well prepared to give the information

fortunate for Oregon that Lane has consented to be
candidate-and will ever have 20 regret
voting for an honest, deserving man like him.

and is going TO the country for delegate Dr.
Wilson only know from reputation, and have formed
very favorable opinion OF him a man-but never
heard until quite lately that he had aspirations for Con.

Lahe-and presume that Gen. Lane will be Just as
well prepared for opposition as he at Buena Vista
There is saying that there is honor in victory
where there is opposition" and for that have
serious objection to little opposition; but cannot
for moment give any countenance to the proceeding
of professed democrat like DR.. Wilson if his intent be
to defeat Gen. Lane We satisfied with Lane;
take pride in supporting deserving a man. and if
every fifth in the country comes out against him,
will stand by him; will never surrender; :; and
if vanqushed we'll spike the cannon.
We cause for democrats 10 get up opposi-

grow of such a The wings lose political
strength by supporting Lane for delegate he has

four newspapers in Oregon all committed for Gen.
Lane, and have his their head Ii any of them

confident that Jo Lane will get vote il able
TO get to the polls on the first Monday of June.
