0REoox ELEcuoN.-By the timely arri-
val of Mr. J. B. DIcKERsoS here, this morn
ing, We are placed in possession Of Oregon

From the daily Nsrs Of that date, we com

ton for Representative to Congress, which

judge, The almost certain election Of Mr..
sHIEl. the Democratic candidate, BY far
more respectable majority than that which
secured The election Of Mr.. SroUr, the pres
ent able Representative from that State,
As viii be perceived. there is haudsom,
falling Of in LoeAN's majority in Marion
county Whether this has been brought
about BY q cessation or letting up| in tn,
Siaissman's opposition to the Democratic
nominees. or because the Democracy Of
that county are becoming unruly, and dis,
posed no longer to obey the behests of its
editor, who, for the last two or three years
has given every encouragement to "bol-

PoNY ExPREss.-The failure in the regu.
lar arrival of the Pony Express in San
Francisco, is attributed 10 the Indan diff
culties in Carson valley. No express had
arrived for the last two weeks preceding
the steamers sailing; hence the absence Of
later news from the States. the last ex-
press due should have brought Us the result
of the Chicago republican convention. 1t
was feared, in San Fraacisco, that the ex-
press had been foply dealt with, and that
until such time as the Indians might be
subdued or peace restored, the express, and
not unlikely the coach mails, would become
very irregular at best

R@- We are pleased to notice by the
Oregon papers that Mr.. s. GARFIELDE, the
receiver Of the land Office at this place, has
not been using his oratorical powers in be-
half Of our opponents success in Oregon.
On the contrary, we are a little surprised,
bat considerably grntiGed, to learn that he
has been successfully employing his ability
and eloquence in defence Of democratic
principles The journals of our party there
highly commend his efforts. However
much we might censure his course in the
last election in this Territory, We can do
even Mr. G. the justice to say of him, that
he is one Of the finest, most eloquent, and
argumeuiotive speakers on the Paiicic
coast Using these gifts legitimately aud
honestly, he could not fail to become q
prominent man anywhere. ~
We make a note Of this for the reason
that last week we inlimated our doubt as
to the manner in which he would employ
the talents with which he has been so boun-
tiiully gifted we can erea do The dera jus

Mr.. FURTE:-I see, in looking over the

aud lying attack made in the Pioneer and
Democrat during my absence in the States,
that decent self.respect would have pre-
vented a similar recurrence. regret that
in this hope | am disappointed. Your no
tice of m Opposition meeting is made Il
pretext for your misrepresentation of my
private sayings, of my.poitical antecedenls,
and of the reasons for my opposition to the
Democratic party. In the first paragraph Of
the editorial referred to, there is but little
to notice; you say: GAN Republicans and
those opposed to the policy Of the present
federal administration" is the verbatim Of
our call The truth is otherwise, as every
one who will read our call will see at Il
glance. This perversion was intended,
doubtless, TO make the impression that the
Republican element, in getting up the call,
was nominal, and thus create prejudice aud
apathy.
Again, you say" Under this call it is
very evident none need regard themselves
as sighted political hucksters, tricksterS,
jockeys aud political gamblers, all are
urged togunite themselves aud destinies with
the present inconguous and not particularly
select fossil formation" A huckster-is de

might satisfy themselves as to what are the
political principles of Judge GILMORE

tion, (which is intended as q reply to our
article wherein we informed the Democracy
that the Opposition were moving,") in an
other column. If the Judges platform, as
laid down in this communication, agrees
with that Of any Of the above parties, we
have named, will not some person be kind
enough to inform us Of the fact AS near
as we can understand him, the Judge agrees
with nobody-is at variance with every
party Of the day, and it almost surprises US
that no can agree s0ith hiRlsclf II the plat
form is anything at nll at this time, (the

makes in his communication, We would re-

place on their way to steilucoom, on Thurs

To say that this procession did not make f'a

truth. We happened to be observers near the
ST. Nicholas Hotel, now full of Southern mer-
chants, here buying goods, or Southern trav-
ellcrs-and upon them, this armed array of
men, with apparent pixies, in complete uniform,
with martial bands of music, and all, as if in
battle array against them, their homes, their
tiresides, their wives, their children, the ''im-
preston" was "profound!' Some of them
broke out in intemperate speech The Re-
publican howl back was "God-d-'etn, come
on" slssWe are ready" "The quicker we
fight the better" Many Southern men ex-
pressed themselves audibly: at is of no use
to try to keep such country together. The
quicker we part, with such feelings against us,
the better. Others hurrahed for ga Southern
Gonfederacy." The armed array made an Sim.

want il? We declare they cannot, and will
give our reasons for SO saying. If the people
want slavery in a territory, when they get
their requisite number of inhabitants to make
state they will ask for admission with a slave
constitution, and Republican party might re
fuse them admission with such Constitution,
but what of that2 Could they not returnhome

unless they deny the right of the states a.
pass upon their local laws What is the result
of this Congressional legislation, then, if tic
Republicans cannot prevent the extension Of
slavery 1t is only the expenditure of mil.

nA- The following extract from. the New
York Tribune, of last Monday, is satisfactory
evidence of the fright that has seized the re-
pubIicans of the State of New York:
REPUBLICANS OF NEW YORK do you hear
the call to duty? Antagonist Democracy and
Old Line Whiggery, vanish from the scene,
like screen Of cavalry from the front of some
great army, and show us the one party of Sub
missionists to every form and degree of Pro-
Slavery exaction ready to push forward its
heavy columns. We can beat them--we musti
we WILL but there eight aoeehs Of rs
hard seork before as euer get aods done by
any party. We could poll Three Hundred
Thousand votes if the election was to be held
tomorrow, we could poll Three Hundred and
Twenty to Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand
on the 9th Of Noyea- Der, according to the
unanimity the energy, with which we shall
have improved the intervening eight woeks.
Arouse yourselves, Republicans of New York !!
"The Philistians are upon you butSampson S
strength is unshorn."
Lincoln's prospect of carrying the State Of
New York has been completely dissipated-
The Tribune Is obviously aware of this fact,
and is therefore doing all it can to inspirit its
party to desperate efforts to remove its fatal
loss-for ,oithout the 35 electoral uotes of Ne.o
York 1t Is impossible for LINCOLN to be- elect
edl H
Democrats and Union men Of Ohio, 60 to
work vigorously from now until after the
Presidential election, and Ohio will also be re-
deemed from sectionalism. Ohio Statesman.
