The Late Overwhelming Democratic
Victory In Oregon.

Extract from q private letter to the editor
of the Boston Post, dated Salem Oregon Ter
ritory, June Z:
$50 far as heard from, no wing or know
nothing has been election to the Legislature.
No county yet unheard from is considered at
all doubtful for lane. The people are disgust
ed with know-nothingism, and some portion OF
the wings have voted with the democrats to
help to kill that institution of darkness. This
is especially true in counties -four out of the
nine) which have usually gone whig, or in OPP
position to the democrats. The 'know-noth.
ings' knew had counted men. and therefore
knew that they should have large majority
for Ex-Governor Gaines, the nominee Of the
kuow-nothings and wings, conjointly. But Gen.
Lane, wherever he went, all over the Territory,
gave them terrible blows, showing the order
to be antagonistic to the fundamental principles
Of the government and of freedom.
"Just previous to the election, DIR. Dan
forth, visiting another part of this county to
form a 'wigwam, on the day that Lane met
Gaines there, and intending the formation OF
said .wigwam' to be one of the victories the
DAY to be gained under Lanes nose and in de-
fiance Of his efforts, was so extremely unfortu-
nate as to fail in his attempt, and lose com
plete set Of know. nothing documents, ritual
&c These documents, of course, figured large
ly during the remainder of the canvas. Lanes
majority over Judge Skinner in 1858 was
about 500, and cannot fail to be- this year
a rising of $500 over Gaines. Probably moi
a county will 60 for Gaines, and not more thar
two or three wings will be elected to the ligis
lature. Isn't it mighty victory? e..

majority is ascertained to be full two thousand
