". L. c.

Mr.. EDIToR,-Any one conversant
with the political history of our. country
for the last half century, cannot but be
assured that we are nearing a crisis such
as it has never before experienced
There appears to be foreboding of evil
in our affairs, the result of which-unless
some energetic measures are taken to
suppress twill be, civil war. But the
question arises, cannot the curse be avoid
ed Are there no measures which can
be employed to stay this terrible result
Is it possible that the strife has become
so strong that it cannot be settled but at
the swords point? 1t is to be hoped
that it may. But why this excitement,
this uncommon strife !? These are ones
tons asked through the length and
breadth of our land, and the answer is
hurled back by every breeze-extension
OF slavery; more slave power to build
the south upon the ruins of the north
With the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise the avenues of slavery have been
opened to such an extent as to alarm the
north, and make them see the designs Of
the south; and we are compelled to take
bold stand against the entertainments Of
the south. The aim of the south is and
always has been, to extend slavery. al
though they have heretofore entered into
a sacred compact with the north by which
slavery was to be excluded from certain
territories then free. But by the passage
OF the Nebraska bill that compromise is
repealed; the doors of slavery are opened
again, and the south with the help of the
northern dOughfaees, are striving to plant
slavery upon the plains of that beautiful
country. Yes, by force too, at the point
OF the sword and bowie-knife are the in
habltants of that country compelled to
surrender their rights to the slaveocracy,
We see our friends and neighbors leavinp
their homes to embark upon the tide Of
western emigration and to settle upon the
plans OF Kansas. They 90 there with
the assurance of protection from the con.
stltution. They have gone there with
the expectation Of having free state, or
at least of having the freedom of speech,
and OF the press. But bark, what sound

the means of the dying and the shrieks
OF the wounded, murdered by a lavless
mob Is that the reception they expected

Correspondence.
Letter from Oregon.
Po4rLAND, OREGON, May l.

PORTLAND, OREGON, May l.
FRIEND EARLE,-Since my last, We
have been till deeper involved in Indian
war-a war that will end with the exter-
mination of some of the tribes OF this
and Washington Territory, and reno
walton of the balance, so that we can
hereafter keep them in a state of lasting
peace.
On the 26th of March, the news was
received in Portland that the Cascade
was taken by the Indians. A company
of volunteers was made up the same eve
ming, numbering thirty, all good and true
men. They left this place and went to
Fort Vancouver. After taking in few
guns, some ammunition we were off again,
on the steamer. After running till near
midnight we came to anchor in the mid
die of the river; saw camp fires burning
at different points up and down the river !;
had guard mounted on deck till daylight,
when the boat got under Roadway and
arrived at the Cascades-the "block
house is thee rnii~y-L~--4-~ n'nlnnk
Just before landing there were seen about
fifty Indians coming down the left bank
of the river, on the run. The company
landed as soon as possible and took their
position on the bank, ready and willing
to have q fight. The Indians took to the
bushes and we saw no more of them. In
the afternoon the most of the company
started for the block house, but returned
in an hour, having met the .. S. troops
from the Dalles, who had relieved those
at the block house, and at Bradford's,
some brty persons in all. They had
been btsieged three days. In the attack
there we're ten persons killed, and some
wounded. Our company started out on
a scout in the morning, but saw no signs
of Indians. By an accidental discharge
of a gun, one of the company was shot
through the right arm. Our company
returned to Portland the next day, lea
wing the Cascades in possession of the
regular troops. 1t is thought that there
were five hundred Indians engaged in the
attack. They have now gone back into
the mountains, and at present all is calm.
Ger. Wool is here, ready to take the
field.
The Oregon Mounted Volunteers are
at the Dalles. Report says that Cover
nor Curry has ordered another campaign.
l think they will return home.

A Chanter on Horses.
Glover, June 8.

Mr.. EDIToR,-The time has been
when the people of Orleans County knew
fast and famous horses, only as they
heard of them through the public prints
as a race born and bred in some foreign
land. That time has now passed away
and the year 1856 has arrived, and Or
leans County has become noted for her
fast and beautiful horses. Horse buyers
no longer pass by leaving our stock unnoa
ticed. Every week Introduces among ne
horse traders, not from our own State
alone, but from all parts of the Union
and the Canadas looking for, and finding
better horses than any other market af-
fords. Why this change? Is not the
credit due to the introduction of the
Morgan and Black Hack horses-or in
other words the Morgan with its different
crosses
Of them we may mention few, and
first from age and respect we name the
Crane or Steele horse-long may he live,
and peace to his ashes when he is gone
of those now in youth, Black Dan, or
Know Nothing, whose time in harness
and under the saddle is already terror
to turfmen. Black Hawk Wallace own
ed and kept by L. Ford, for which large
sums of money have been offered and
refused. Black Hawk Clipper owned
and kept by B. Baldwin, which according
to his age is not whit behind Wallace
in size, speed, or beauty. Two better
horses never trod the ground, or champed
the bit. Green Mountain Eagle owned
and kept by John Thrasher of Coventry,
horse that will show size, shape and
action for himself. The above horses
need no manufactured certificates to prove
their Talue; their appearance and stock
are too well known to fall back on such
slim supports.
These thoughts were suggested bysee-
ing in the Standard few weeks since. a
notice of horse lately brought from
Boston, for the benefit of which some
saw fit to lead him in front and give the
Black Hawks the rear. We think it I'm.
wise in the horse growers of Orleans
County to forsake what they know to be
for their interest, and turn to strange
and unknown gods" without beginning
or end, or a decent middle-notwith.
