AS an important item of the political news
from the East, it will be seen hat the Doug
las Electoral ticket in Pennsylvania has been
withdrawn, and all Douglas men are recon-
mended TO support the Reading ticket, the
same that was nominated last spring before
the meeting Of the Charleston Convention
Finding their utter weakness in the old

composed principally of Breckenridge men,
and carry the State against Lincoln.

Took BACK A LIE.-On last Monday, the
Sacramento Union, with flourish of trum-
pets stated that Col A. =. Dudley, Brccken
ridge candidate for Elector, had withdrawn
from the canvass. Upon hearing this, Col.
D. Immediately teleglaphed to the Sacra-
mento Democrat that the report was wholly
without foundation. TIE Union was compel
led to take the falsehood back (but not until
the opposition press had published it far and
wide) and excused itself by saying that it
obtained the report from reliable men. Col.
Dudley's denial of the Unions roorback,
proves the unreliable ty of its authority.
The fact is the Union readily eau ,ht at
a lie and published it, for the purpose of in
iuring the Democratic party-knowing that
every one reads falsehood, but only por-
ton the refutation.
The Union seems to have taken the con
tract to do the lying for the Douglas party
in this ca,npaign,and it is certainly earning
its wages

those who were advocates of Douglas leav-
ing the ranks of that faction and joining

election has caused these good people to
view Douglasism in Oregon in It's true light;
it has taught them that among the leaders,
Donglasism is but another name for Repub
licanism, and that alliance of the two is H.
evitable. Democrats will not thus permit
themselves to be seduced or sold outright

ken pains to obtain the best information pos

from conversation with old residents of al
most every section, find that the re action
now taking place. will secure for Brecken-
ridge and Lane, the most triumphant ma
iority ever recorded in the annals Of Ore
gon. At Salem, Corvallis, Eugene, and other
cities on the Willamette, the feeling is in
tense, and from the more distant points we
are daily receiving the most encouraging
promises Our Electoral candidates, Messrs
Smith, OMeara and Douthitt, are daily ad
dressing large and enthusiastic assemblages;
the people (who have been swindIed and
bamboozled enough by that prince of Cali
fornia backs, God knows) are daily return
ing to the Democratic fold, and will in No
vember decide, en- mdsse in favor of our tick
ct.
Our Legislature adjourned sine die yeser
day. The bill declaring the election of COL
Shel illegal, having passed the House was
lost in the Senate.
Although they have passed several salu-
tary acts, still the election of Baker will
forever stigmatize the second session Of the
Oregon Legislature.
Our daily mail is decided success! the
stages arrive and depart with the regularity
of clock work, and we receive files of San

great public Improvement, which was achiev
ed thronghly the executions of Messrs Lane

DoUGLAs IN ViRGlNrA.-Judge Douglas
had an enthusiastic reception at Norfolk
on the 9th, and spoke in the presence Of
6,000 people. In the middle Of his al
dress a slip of paper was handed TO him.
II was cut from the Norfolk Daily Argus,
and contained two polite questions. The
first was, al Abraham Lincoln be elected
President of the United States, would the
southern States be justified in seeding
from the Uhion?" Judge Douglas said,
Tot | emphatically answer no. [Great
applause.l The election Of man to the
Presidency by the American people in
conformity with the constitution of the
United States wo uld not Justify any at
tempt at dissolving this glorious con-
federacy. Applause. The second
question was, "If they, the southern States
seceie from the Union upon the inaugu-
ration Of Abraham Lincoln, before he
commence an overt act against their con-
stitutional rights, will you advise or
vindicate resistance by force to their Sc
ccssion?" Ianswer emphatically that it
is the duty of the President of the United
States and all others in authority under
him to enforce the laws Of the United
States passed by Congress and as the
courts expound them, and !, as in duty
bound by my oath and fidelity to the
constitution, would do all in my power to
aid the government of the United States
in maintaining the supremacy of the laws
against all resistance to them, come from
whatever quarter it might; in other words
think the President of the United States
should treat all attempts to break up the
Union by resistance to it laws as Old

The Democracy Aroused
Douglas ClsaO--sEickOry sa'sing--
Grand Rally Speech Of Hon.
w. l.. Bancroft.

The democratic masses in this city
and county are commencing the cam
paign in good earnest. The PEOPLE are
coming up the work earnestly and en-
Enthusiastically, and on every hand the in
locations are most hopeful for the cause
of the Constitution and the Union.
Last Saturday evening there was a
largo and enthusiastic meeting of the
Douglas Club at Engine House No. 2,
which was addressed by Messrs. WEBER
and THOMPSON: On "Wednesday, hick-
DRY, one hundred and fifty feet above
ground was raised opposite BRUCKER's,
in the first Ward, after which speeches
were made by Cyrus MILES, Esq, of
Port Huron, and Mr.. THOMPSON, of this
city. In the evening, Buena Vista Hall
was packed to its fullest capacity with
people who had come to listen to Hon.
w. l.. BANCROFT, Of Port Huron, and
hundreds were compelled to leave, not
able to find room either to sit or stand,
Mr.. BANoRoFT's speech was, as men OF
all parties freely admit, mastery
effort; clear, candid, logical, eloquent,
pointed and pungcnt, it told with start
ling effect upon the audience, and was
greeted from first to last with round
after round Of earnest and enthusiastic
applause. There are few men in the
West capable Of making better political
speech thar Mr.. BANCROFT, and on this
OCCASION he fairly cxcelled himself.
Thursday a fine young hickory was
raised at Mr.. ORMsDY's, on Washington
street, first Ward, and dedicated, as the
others, to DouGLAs e. JOHNSON. Thursday
evening BANCROFT spoke to crowded
house in Saginaw City, on estate Affairs,
and Friday evening, he is to speak at
Bay City.
The work goes bravely on, and if the
canvass is continued with the same spiri
that it has been commenced, there need
be no fear but the Democracy Of this
section will give good account Of them
semveles next November.
