that have arisen and occupied the atten-
tion of the American people since the year
80: The unanimity expressed on this oc-
casion clearly demonstrates that the demo-
cratic party is still national party-that
It's representatives from all sections Of the
Union, can meet and lay upon the altar OF
their common country petty jealousies and
local feelings, and that they still adhere to
the great principles for which they have
battlcd since the organization of our gov
ernmcnt. What other of the various par
ties now in existence can or does reassert
even the platform upon which they stood
in '4s-only eight years since ? In truth
there is not one, except it be rank "abo-
ltion," higher law" party, or something
Of the kind.
We firmly believe, that let what may be
the result of the deliberations Of the demo-
cratic convention, the nominee will he tri-
umphantly elected. From the proceedings
of this convention so far, we should Judge
that no between, halfway friends are to be
allowed to participate in this contest unless
they come up to the mark, square and fair,
and face the music. The platform adopted
virtually says to each and every one, at all
tainted with pizzerinctumism, stand up, or
stand aside. Get in or get out--the train
is about 10 move-clear the track We
have no patience with man or newspaper
pretending to be governed by principle,
when they tell us, if you nominate This man
| will support him, but if that man, l will
not Because democrat does not person
ally like this candidate or that one, on the
ticket, because he has some grudgc against
him, is that q good reason why he should
retire TO his tent and take no part in the
fight for his principles? We would not
give pinch OF snuff for ten acres Of such
democrats as this. In this coming field
they will not be tolerated. The fight is
going. to be too earnest, the stake too mo-
mentous to put up with. private coquetry or
spleen. Every man should fall into line or
fall out of the ranks. If he have grudges
against the captain or any of the officers,
he should either gulph them down and do
his duty like true soldier, or he should
stand aside and leave to hosts Of others
who will fill his place, all the glory Of the
battle and the victory. No old soldering
this time. Everything for the cause moth
ing for men; and he who cannot sacrifice his
personal and private griefs to the good Of
the public cause, is not worthy Of thought
as gain or loss to any party. He is chat.
Clear the track for the democracy"

FRIEND WMEY-I see in q representa-
tion to the Hons. J. Patton Anderson and
10. Lane, they make the following state
ment of the opinion Of Judge Chenoxeih:
"And in reply to Judge ChenoEetk We
will say, that in our OpiRiOn, he could have
rendered his country more service, By
shouldering his rife and assisting rs to re-
pei our common enemy, than be did By
giving us as his opinion that our officers
had no right to order US, and we were NOT
bound to obey" ~ 2 ~ e
To those who have read the opinion. no
explanation would be necessary, but 70
those who have not, think the above
language would convey an idea not intend
ed by the opinion ITSELF As this has been
published, and as many have read 10
Pioneer that have not read Judge Chsno-
weths opinion, l think it would be fair to
allow the opinion to speak for ITSELF Il
quote from his opinion as follows:
In closing this opinion, the Court feds
justified in saying few words, as,to tho
duty Of volunteers. 1t is proper for them
having volunteered, promptly, to obey au
legal orders to subdue the Indians, the OBJ
ject for which they left their homes, and
made so many sacrifices. 0bedience 10
orders is at once tho pride and duty q
good soldier. But when they .arn led
against citizens, or ordered to enter The
temples Of justice, and drag from their
seats the Judges, such orders ought pot %
be obeycd. The order Is unlawful and %.
viously so, to the most common MUD end
soldiers cannot protect themselves agnl1l
indictments, fines and Imprisonment, behind
the unlawful orders Of their commanlcfss
Such acts will greatly embarass Congress
to whom alone the volunteers look tor 2
reward for their rvices. 1t is to be hoped
that Congress will feel disposed 10 pay for
fighting Indians, surely they cannot deny .
thing so just. But the private, II no5
equally guilty with his commander, IS guilty
Of a violation Of the criminal law, in obey
ing such orders" q. ..9 ~ r-~3
1t would appear that Judge ChenoweIh
differs with the Governor as to Marital
law, but yet ho approves Of the GOVeFuO's
course generally, and has been heard, both
before and since, to speak in the highnsi
terms of the commendable energy and good
judgment with which he has conducted the
war. Judge Chenoweth is one Of the iast
persons to join the "hue and cry" agAins.

TIE ELEcTIoN.-Since our last issue, we
have received but very few additional re-
turns. Mr.. HUNTINGTON, whig, is elected
from Cowlitz, and judge STRONG, joint rep
resentative from Cowlitz and Wakiakum.
The entire democratic ticket is elected in
Clarke county. 1t is rumored that Mr..
VAN CLEAvE has been beaten for the coun-
Gil by Mr.. ABERNErHY, in the district CON-
posed of the counties of Cowlitz, Wakia-

OPINIONS IN ORE0oN.-Read the follw-
ing extracts from the OregOniaR and Stand
ard Of Portland, in reference to the pro-
ceedings of Judge LANDER's mock court.
The Times also fully endorses. the same
sentiments. We are credibly informed that
some of these papers have on hand from
about peck to bushcl Of interesting COM
muncations dictated by worthy members
of the bar the responsibility of which is
shouldered by q variety of individuals, from
our worthy friend JACK RAeo" down:
"pS- We learn from gentlemen just
over from Olympia that Gov. Stevens, who
has been on trial for arresting the judge of
the district court Of the United States du-
ring the existence of Martial law, has been
fined fifty dollars by Chief Justice Lander;
and that the fine was subsequentlyremitted
by the court. From this it would seem
that the whole matter is small potatoes
and few in hill," or else they have small
scales Of justice over thar. There has
been an awful smoke for some time in rela-
ton to this matter, judging from the news
papers but we don't think there will be
very serious conaagration after all."-Ore-
gOHidR.
"pss- We learn that Judge Lander i'm
posed nominal fine upon Gov |. l. Ste
vens for contempt of court in disobeying its
orders while martial law was in force. we
are inclined to think that this opposition
to the Governor is ill-begotten, and VIII
result in no good to that Territory, nor 70
the parties who seek to embarrass the
Governor Standard.

LETTER FROM MAJOR BLANKRNsHIP.-In
another column will be found a letter from
Major BLANKENsHIP, who is attached to
the command Of Col. SHAW )Awritten in
the neighborhood of the Blue mountains.
From it our readers will learn that, as yet,
the volunteers have been unable to meet
the hostile Indians. The reception given
them by the Nez Perce Indians, shows a
continued state of good feeling on their
part towards the whites. Below are the
speeches Of the leading Nez Percc chiefs
present on the occasion referred to by our
correspondent; for the copy Of which he
will please accept our thanks. Although
the subject is well-nigh worn out, and be-
come, where understood, the laughing
stock of mere boys, we cannot refrain from
again calling attention TO the false state
ments of Gen. Wool He has said that
the difficulties were caused by the volun-
teers-that they were murderers, and that
the. war was gotten up to plumber the M
tional treasury, and the Indians OF Their
property. Here follows the testimony oil
one Of the leading and most wealthy tribes
west of the Rocky mountains-a tribe con-
tanning men of intelligence, and who,
though Indians themselves, state that
many assertions penned and forwarded to
the President Of whom they appear to
have some knowledge J or his officers, by
Gen. Wool, ore false-simply ridiculous.

A NEW FIELD OF EXPERINESr.-During
the past year a taste for the artificial propa-
cation Of fish has sprung up in this country.
The Appletons, of New York, issued treatise
upon the subject about year ago, and DR..
Garlick, Of Louisville. is now publishing a
series Of papers upon the same topic in the
Ohio Farmer, which will afterwards appear
in book form. Besides this, the State Agri-
cultural Society Of New York, offers a prize
of Sl00 for the best essay on the domestic cul-
ture Of fish. Drs. Garlick and Ackley are
enthusiastic amateurs Of pisciculture. They
made several trips to Lake Superior and to
Fort Stanley in Canada to obtain fish spawn,
and, in every instance after the first were
successful in raising the fish. In France and
England this art is prsctised to an extent
which has engaged the attention Of statesmen
and statisticians, and we do not hesitate to
believe that a ton of hsh can be raised in this
manner In this country at one-tenth the cost
Of ton of beef. The process lie simple, and
easily put in practice We would earnestly
advise those having the opportunity, TO read
the works which have been written upon the
subject and then enter upon q course Of expe-
riments. In every State and county there
are, without doubt, suitable springs and
streams which with very little labor could be
turned to profitable account in the artificial
production Of trout or salmon.

ET The London Times has the following
account of Barney Williams and his wife, al
the Adelphi: There could not be a more un-
equivocal testimonial to the talent of Mr.. and
Mrs. Barney. Williams than the success Of
their last TRANSATLANTIC importation, entitled
Irish Assurance and Yankee Modesty {"
The piece is one Of those indescribable works
that now seem peculiar to the other side of the
ocean, but are evidently based on the English
farces Of that happy period when q defiance
of possibility, a voluntary ignoring Of all So
cial regulations, q huddling together of situa-
tions, and perpetual change Of scene were
deemed important elements of the broader
kind Of dramatic humor Acted with less
characteristic force Ii would be uncomfortable,
but Nr. and Mrs. Barney Williams are pitted
against each other as wild Irish youth and
thorough-going Yankee "gal," supposed to
be servants In the same establishment, and
the war goes on without intermission. 1t is q
war between two forms Of audacity, carried
on with the greatest vigor on both sides, and,
OF course, ending in a marriage. 0ne skir-
mish In particular is so well conducted that it
deserves a special record. The Yankee lady
endeayors to fix upon the Hibernian swain q
legend of certain pig that can dress the
children Of the family, and is in the habit of
chewing tobacco, and the Hibernian, for the
sake Of good manners, consents to believe it.
the manner in which Mr. Barney Williams
works out this situation, first limiting his in
credulity, and then, with a sudden gasp Of
resignation, exclaiming go on.' and pre-
pairing his face for new dose OF falsehood. Is
admirable. A new Yankee piece would not
compete with its song, and therefor Mrs Bar
ney Williams has fresh ditty, entitled "Pes-
ky Ike" which she sings in her best style,
but which, pretty as it is, will scarcely rival

MoRNoNIsk.-A correspondent OF the Mount
Holy Mir.or writing from Horneutovn. O,ean
county, gives some information in relation to
the Mormons in that county. He says that
meetings are held there every week in Nor
mon church, and usually attended by about
fifty persons, some twenty or thirty having en-
igrated a few months since to Salt Lake city.
He says:
The shepherd of the flock was known ss
Elder Curtis, tailor by trade, but, like many
Others who assume clerical robes, not partic-
uially fond Of labor. He appeared TO be well
posted IN the creed Of his church, and pro-
iessed TO be firm believer in the genuineness
OF the Prophet Joe Smith. He was one Of the
large number who left this State for Nauvoo
u9rihg the frst excitement produced by tho
ADVENT and preaching Of Mormonism. Re
turning' however, after the destruction of the
Guy, ne again settled in Hornerstown, where
ne continued to practice the duties of his ell
deIshlp until November last, when he died
suddenly. He had but one wife.
Ihe saint upon whom the mantle Of Elder
Curtis seems TO have fallen is an Eoglishman
by birth, named Richard Tracedef, who emI-
grated TO America after his conversion to the
faith. lie is seemingly man Of considerable
but one wiie-and, though
not an old man, has thirteen children
A Mormon camp meeting is to be held near
this place shortly, under the charge of Elder
Tracedcr. The time is not yet fixed, but il
will likely commence on Thursday, Septem-
Der IL. A large delegation of the saints is
expected from Toms River and vicinity,
where they are said to be quite numerous.
The society has embraced a number of re-
spectacle and wealthy farmers Of this neigh
borhood; but now new converts are seldom
made, and with emigration and the instant
telling from grace, the number is gradually
dwindling down, and few years will witness
the extinction of Mormonisn N in tie section of
Monmouth and Ocean.
