"Mr Logan (Democrat) has been elected to Con-
gress from Oregon by $50 majority. The LegIsla-
tUre stands thus: Democrats favorIng Senator Lane
and fusion Democrats Il; fusion Republicans, 13.
This is according to Democratic source 1t is be-
ieved that it will result the election of Mr. Baker
the Republican and in an antiLecOmpton man to the
Senate"
The above telegraphic dispatch bears to the De-
nOcracy of the Union another instalment of the bit
ter fruits which Mr.. Douglas by his warfare upon
Democratic principles has furnished the country.
Oregon thoroughly Democratic State. Like
their faithful representative, Gen. Lane, the DemOc
racy of that distant State has stood true and firm
by the Constitution and the rights of the States In
an evil hour Mr.. Douglas made war upon the pres
ent Democratic Administration, and raised up the
North and West A DOUGLAS ANTI-LECOMPTON DEMO-
CRATIC PARTY.
The effect of this treacherous policy on his part
has been already sufficiently and felt in the de-
feat of Democratic members to the present Con-
gress. 1t placed such men 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 Demo-
cratic party of the Union minority, and brought
defeat upon their banner throughout the North and
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 conflict.
After striking down the Democratic party in the
House OF Representatives, this Douglas anti -LecOmp
ton democratic party tlieS cih the Black Republicans
OF Oregon to defeat Gen. Lane and the true men of
that State and to return to the United States Senate
another antl-Lecompton Democrat and a Black Re
publican
If facts like these do open the eyes of the De-
mocracy TO the true position ana policy of Mr. Doug
las and his followers it is useless to produce facts
or make arguments.
What say the few struggling Democrats of the
South who yet adhere to the fortunes of the man
who by his course aud policy is tiingour National
Legislature with their btterest enemies? Are they
content to have the seat occupied by that ster-
ling patriot and true Democrat 10 Lane, filed after
the 4th of March by that rank, unmitigated Black
Republican and AbOi1Onist, E. d. Baker? If So
send forth fresh notes of rejoicing over Douglas
and fusion and be prepared to welcome the tri-
umphs and victories which Mr.. Douglas and his
friends continue to give to your enemies and the
enemies of the Constitution.
We sincerely trust and believe that Mr.. Douglas
and his Black Republican allies have not carried the
Legislature of Oregon. Notwithstanding the tele-
graphic announcement that douglas and fusion"
have gained this unhallowed victory over the Demo-
cratic party, will not yield confidence in the
sound Democracy of our young SISTER until the foul
deed has been consummated. If, however, we are
saved at last from result so humiiating to every
true Democrat in the land shall be under no OBJ
lira.on for it to Mr. Douglas and his friends. What
ever they could do they have done to consummate
the outrage Constitution.
