DEMocRATIc SENTIMENT IN OREGov.-The
Portland Advertiser, stauneh supporter of
Dougls and johnson, in an article concern
ing the Senatorial election, says:
For ourself, as a humLle supporter Of Ste
phen A. Douglas, and an earnest advocate for
the progressive Democracy enuncated 10y
that statesman, we shall neither countenance
nor support any measures or movements cal.
cuIntcd to lead the true Democracy from the
ancient highway whereon it has marched for
so many years. Better far better, that we
should be defeated in every fight, than to
gain single contest by any alliances calcula
ted to sully our good name, and at the sacri-
flee OF Democratic principles.
AHL human NhAhlnl IeAOl4'-A AllC odClu-
mento Union of Thursday says:
The announcement of the Roman Chariot
Race, to be driven 10y two women in Roman
costume, to come off over the Centervlle
Course yesterday for purse Of 81 800, drew
together the largest crowd which has ever
assembled near this city to visit any race.
We think there were eight thousand present,
Of whom one fourth were women.
The chariots were two wheeled vehicles,
which some enyous people were heard to say
were nothing more than old drays fitted up
with tongues, in order to harness in two
horses abrest to each, and then the wheels
covered with pasteboard to appear as if each
wheel was made Of one piece Of wood. 1t is
needless to say that all such complaints
were made 10y disappointed persons. The
complaint, too, that the ladies wore hoops
and that the Romans never did any such
thing, we ascribe to the same motive.
Miss Annette Baker drove Il fine pair o
bays, and Miss Hortence Stephenson a pair o
roans They both stood upright, held the rib
bens beautifully, and drove in a manner wor
lhy of any Roman. Miss Baker won th'
first heat, and as her team had passed tn,
score her horses made a sudden turn, breaking
the tongue ofher chariot Time-2:92.
