"Mr. Logan (Democrat) has been elected to
Congress from Oregon by $50 majority. The
Legislature stands thus Democrats favoring
Senator Lane and fusion Democtats, FL !; fu-
sion Republicans, 49, This is according to q
Democratic source. 1t is believed that 1t will
result in the election of Mr.. Baker, the Rep1b-
lican, and In an anti-Lecompton man to the
Senate"
!. The above telegraphic dispatch bears to the
Democracy of the Union another instalment
ofthe bitter fruits which Mr.. Douglas, by his
warfare upon Democratic principles, has fur
nished the county. Oregon was thoroughly
Democratic State. Like their faithful Repre-
sentative Gen. Lane, the Democracy of that
distant State has stood true and firm by the
Constitution aud the rights of the States. In
an evil hour Mr.. Douglas made war upon the
up in the North and West A DOUGLAS ANTI
LEcoMPToN DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
| The effect OF the trcacherous policy on his
part has been already sufficiently seen and felt
in the defeat of Democratic members to the
present Congress. 1t placed such men as
John Hickman, of Pennsylvania, Haskin, of
New York, and others Of like character, in
seats that, but for him and his policy, would
have been occupied by good and true men OF
the Democratic faith. 1t gave to the Black
Republicans the organization of the present
House Of Representatives, and reduced the
great Democratic party of the Union to mi
nority, and brought defeat upon their banner
throughout the North aud West.
Fortunately for the country, the Democracy
were enabled to maintain their power in the
Senate. 1t seems, however, that we have not
yet reached the end Of this most unjust and
treacherous conduct. After striking down the
Democratic party in the House Of Represen-
tatives this Douglas anti Lseo'epton Democratic
party unitss NTH aAe B,ack Rspub,eaxs Of Oregon
to defeat Gen. Lane and the true men Of
that State, and to return to the Unites STATES
Senate another anti-Lecompton Democrat aud
a Black Republican.
If facts like these do not open the eyes Of
the Democracy to the true position and policy
OF Mr.. Douglas and his followers, it is useless
to produce facts or make arguments.
What say the few stragg ling Democrats Of
the South who.yet adhere to the fortunes Of
the man who BY bis course and policy is filing
our National Legislature with their bitterest
enemies Are they content to have the seat
now occupied by that sterling patriot and true
Democrat, Joe Lane, filed after the 4th OF
March by that rank, unmitigated Black Re-
publican and Abolitionist, E. D. Baker II
so, send forth fresh notes of rejoicing over
douglas and FUSION" and be prepared to wei
Douglas and his friends continue to give to
your enemies and the enemies of the Constitu-
ton.
We sincerely trust and believe that Mr..
Douglas and his Black Republican allies have
not carried the Legislature of Oregon. Not
withstanding the telegraphic announcement
that "Douglas and fusion" have gained this
unhallowed victory over the Democratic party,
we will not yield our confidence in the sound
Democracy Of our young sister until the foul
deed has been Consummatetl. If, however,
we are saved at last from result so humilia-
ting to every true Democrat in the land, we
shall beS under no obligation for it to Mr..
Douglas and his friends Whatever they could
dothey have done to consummate the outrage.
