fore.aw that Locoocosm would expose ltselt IN
Oregon, as i. has done in nearly all the States Of
our Union. The number of men here Who would
corde,cend to fl the various Offices in the gift OF
the "desr people" the " blessed PEG pie, became
more numerous than the Offices then commenced
a scramble for the spells. The war between the
It's" and the Outs" has waxed not aud many
prieyous family secrets have been dvulged by
each faction of the other While the popularity Of
Buchansn was passable, both factions protested
all, glance to the Administration. Finally, the
Free-Soil Democrats bolted from the Black De-
mocracy and joined issue with them on the Great
Issue OF the day. At the head of the Blacks here.
the great champion OF LOcoiocoism-JO Lane
stands forth in all his power and might, sound on
tie goose, aud at home in bar-room fight and
with him, as bis man Friday, stands thu Rev.
Delsz0n Smith, ex-senator. The base aud I'M
princiued conduct of these demsgOgues was so
patent that even The oregon Statesman openly re-
buked them and showed them 10 tholr true cOlors
to the people. This caused great outcry. a
breach began ard continued, until now the Free
Soil Democrats take firm aud steady ground upon
tie Non intervention and Popular Sovereignty
vel orgabized, and acting vigorously and cheeriy
in Oregon this year. Their candidate for Repre-.
sentative to Congress is David Logan, formerly OF
Springfield, Ill.
AT the Democratic State Convention at Salem,
on the 20th of April, the Black Democracy out
witted the Free-Soll Democrats, and nominated
California Know. Nothng-a stranger lately arrived
in OregOD-fOT Congress. The FORMER Delegate,
a Free Soil Democratic. i. GrOyer-was thrown
L., .rJ from C.ll
his stead.
The Governor Of the State of Oregon convened
the Legislature, BY special call to put In mstlon
our car Of state, and To elect United States Sen
ator. During the called session of twenty days
but little business was transacted, and a herce
contest continued between the two factions. Inc
Blacks were determined. at all hazards, 10 elect
the Rev. Delazon Smith, and the Fre-Soers were
determined, if possible, 10 elect Grover. Finally
they adjourned and FL. cted 10 Senator. Lane and
Smith are now stumping Oregon in behalf of the
Know Nothing candidate for the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes of the United States, and for themselves
hereafter. OF 10 900 votes cast for or against
slavery in Oregon, 500 voted the Frees ticket
and = 500 for Slavery. 1t is not hard to see how
the men of Oregon stand on the Slavery question:
and that Oregon will soon be- dlsenthralled and
redeemed from the curse Of Black Democracy.
.Jo. Lane bias pledged Oregon to the AdmlnIstra-
ton. and has 10 return, secured the expulsion from
office of every Free.Soller i'll Oregon. He Is
thankful that be has beheaded the last one of the
Free. Soil ofiicehoIders in Oregon. And yet ne
has held office in Oregon for nearly ten years
One year $50 to dissent from Lane was to dissent
from Democracy Now small remnant OF the
BIacks in Oregon make worship Of Lane-a smile,
shake Of his hand, a nod, wink, or an Office OF
bis procurDg-a party test.
Give us two years more, and Oregon VIII send
TO Washington City two Senators, aud one Repre-
s.ptstiye-al good Republicans. The star OF slave
ocrscy has set on this coast We will fall into
line with our worthy and noble friends OF the Union
in the Eastern, Middle and Western States OF our
Confederacy. The virgin soil OF Oregon and Cali
fornis will never open her bosom to receive the
blood Of slaves.
Times are exceedingly tight here this year. Our
produce bears very low price, and our markets
Are putted with foreign provisions goods, Ac.
We buy too much, and sell too little. There Was
an attempt made lately to get up another frazler,
but il WAS no 60 here. We have passed the sever.
est Winter ever known on this coast. More than
$50 900 worth of stock now lies dead IN Oregon.
Crop, in general look very poorly here. The fruit
crop bids fair to be good this year Our chIet hope
for money is on the apple crop now growing here.
| The treaties with the Indians IN Middle
and Northern Oregon and Washington we're con
| ftm.d lately by the United States Senate Our
| Indisn border wars we hope are ended. The
Columbia has not been as high for forty years As
| now and il is It'll on the rise. Marty all the
f,,ms crops. and some stock sre destroyed in the
| CoIuubia bottoms, between the Cascade Falls and
,be oresn-I4O miles. A part of Portland and, of
| Old Fort Vancouver are oyerf0wed at present.
Within 20 miles OF my farm the snow now lies 10 TO
~ feet deep. Down in the valleys the weather IS
pleasant. aud very dry; yet We have light ifosts
eyery few days and weeks of this season. The
shows on the mountains, end the rains IN our val,
