Experience warrants the expectation that
as the community becomes accustomed to
cheap postage, correspondence will in-

and from the rapid growth Of the country
in population and business, The receipts Of

A Patriots PRAYER.

Many years ago, on a well remembered
occasion, when the Union was just under.
going one of those tests which threatened
to rend it in twain, Daniel Webster closed
one of the most soul-slirring speeches he
ever delivered with the following glorious
sentiments:
When my eyes Tor the last time shall
be raised 10 behold the sun in heaven, may
they not gaze upon the broken fragments
Of dishonored but once glorious Union I;
upon States discovered, discordant, bellig-
erent upon land rent with civil feuds,
aud drenched, il may be, in paternal blood.
Let their last feeble and lingering gaze
rather behold the glorious ensign OF the
Republic now known and honored through
out the earth still foil high advsnced-not
one stripe erased or polluted, not oae star
obscured, but streaming in all their original
lustre. and bearing for its motto no such
miserable ntenogatory as .What is all this
worth 2 nor those ofthe words Of delusion
and folly, Liberty first and Union aiter-
wards 'but everywhere, spread all over in
characters Of living light, blazing on oil ils
ample folds, as they float over the sea and
over the land, and in every wind under the
whole heavens that other sentiment, dear
to every true American heart, Liberty and
Union. now and forever, one and inscParA-

tanned proceedings, in condensed form, Of
the Legislature up to December ooh, and
from persons directly from the seat Of gov

give some additional matters Of importance
in relation 10 legislative enaeiments. And
although with the last mail came the
"Satesman OF January the LIST, Slh and
10Th, containing proceedings up to The 10th

ing preceding, yet they contain but little
of interest TO the people Of Northern Ore
gon Of which they have not already been
advised. The bills for the erection Of the
various new counties out of the territory Of
Thursion-the establishment OF the seats Of
justice, and the appointment Of Their officers,

gle he considered The question, and the ap-
pointment Of fag ends to the posts Of honor

nothing IN saying that the whole history of
parties in the United States, never, neuer ex-
hibited such total squint-eyed squander-
ing Of patronage without the slightest hope
or prospect Of reaping tyatit. as by the party
in power From Maine to Louisiana the
recipiants Of Office stand out in bold relief:
most conspicuous are the shattered frag-
ments' Of the Democracy. None but the
transparent Zebra striped fag ends Of the
party have been rewarded with the spoils
of Office, they. and they alone, have been
deemed worthy whose thirst and appetite
for place. bear no proportion whatever to
their reputation, unless it be the advocacy
of one shattered and discordant fragment
of the Freesoilers and the congl0morated
fragment of unconditional disunioning Sc
cessionists. It would appear then, said
Judge B.. that the control Of Government
and its affairs, are now in the hands of an
administration for private and mercenary,
and not public and patriotic ends-a corrupt
coalition of Freesoilers and Barnburners of
the North, and the flag ends of Fire-eating
Secessionists of the South. The patriotism
of the true and faithful having gone unre-
warded Of booty; though they bore the heat
and burden of the day and fought SO fierce
II to win. It is sickening. disgusting and
unspeakably humiliating spectacle to see
the leaders of party resorting to such un-
worthy expedients. and it is no less discour-
aging to see how successful they have been
and will probably continue to be for long
time to come. But tho stomachs of the par
~ seem capable Of digesting all sorts of food
however nancious, and then exclaim, it is
