Col. Jenkins at Mev Oregon.-The tenth
meeting of the Democratic and Republican can
didates for representative of the 59th representa-
tive district met in joint discussion at this place
on Wednesday evening the 21st inst. The meet
ing was called to order by T. P. Davies, Presi-
dent and H. Lick, Secretary. g.
The Democratic candidate led the discussion
with fifteen minutes time, followed by forty-fve
minutes in rambling debate I'D. D. Sabin, Esq.,;
after which Col. jenkins closed with q speech of
a half hours length. His words were smooth,
chastc, and to the point, telling we'll for the Dem
ocratic cause and falling heavily upon the rotten
standard Of declining Republicanism. He as
serted boldly that his aim had never been to as
sist in the extension Of slavery beyond its pres
ent limits, and that he now stood before the
masses of freemen to defend the rights of our
brothers alike at the north and the south, to
maintain their rights as provided in the consti-
tuition of this glorious republic,-he would not,
he said, debar any portion of this people of those
privileges which make the connecting link of
north and south, nor force from a portion of
Americas sons those servants who make our
cotton fields blossom and our land abound with
prosperity and wealth, until such time when the
roice Of the people directly interested should
proclaim, down with slavery. Let us ask here,
are these not the sentiments every trae Repub-
lican should endorse? Would you forcibly take
from the pcaeible citizens of the sunny south
their pride, their wealth, their all, ruthlessly in
vading the sacred provisions of the Constitution
of the United States and Wrestling from them the
inheritance which the slres of the disaffected
sons of the north secured to the south unasked?
In regard to the expenses of the State govern
ment, Mr.. Sabin attempted to compare the two
periods of Democratic and Republican rule, and
for this, divided the two periods into ordinary
and extraordinary expenditures. TO this artful
dodge, Col. jenkins replied by saying truly that
the extraordinary expenses are Of what the peo-
pie complain. To the necessary and legitimate
expenses of the State they do not and never will
are many times the amount of the ordinary, tits
the duty of the tax payer to strive to relieve the
State of the extraordinary legislators whose ex-
traordinary acts have placed these cxtraordina-
ry and oppressive burdens upon the people.
In a late speech made by Nicholas J. Busch

A correspondent of the Dubuque Herald says:
"Just then, about a half dozen Germans, and
q couple Of Americans arose and informed Mr..
Busch that Fred Ehlers, Esq, was the Rcpub-
lican German delegate from this place, (Oska-
loosa) upon whose authority the story was told,
and who saw it,"
The Hon. Nicholas then shifted the subject
and shouted amazingly upon the issues of "Pop-
ular Sovereignty" the "Hog Law" and the "Po-
tatoe rot" when, becoming considerably annoyed
in his e~xertions to restore quiet amid the Kisses
and laughter of his German and other acquaint-
ances, only regretted that he was not "sharp as
a two-edged sword" and furthermore, become
exceedingly sorrowful because Of his thick
tongue ~cleaving to the roof of his mouth.

that, while passing the Strait of Gibraltar, she

When will these outrageous insults cease to
be p~racticed upon the people of this nation by
Spanish theft and murder? Too long have that
petty kingdom crowded insult, robbery and hos
tility upon the American people. We ask, then,
when shall all this treachery cease? Their muir
derous and selfish acts tell us not until the strong
arm of this quiet people shall have reduced proud
Spain to a nonentity. Then let the solemn work
be accomplished, for it is high time that we
should revenge the untimely death Of our coun-
trymen perpetrated at the hands of those MUIR
derous, black Spaniards. The blood of our broth
er freemen speak REVENGE!
