Pacific Republic.

Pacific Republic, and thus discourses on the
subject:
Those men who advise or even insinuate
that Oregon should prove disloyal to the
Union as long as there is star or a stripe
left on the flag of our country, should be
closely watched 10y all good citizens, because
no man knows what day may bring forth
Those who sympathize with traitors in their
successful efforts in stealing Government
property, taking Government forts, beseig-
ing United States soldiers, capturing United
States Hospitals and driving the invalids
therein to become dependents upon the char
ity of populace taught and almost compell-
ed by force to hate them, only want fa-
vorable opportunity and they will do like
wise
We do not think that by any possibility
here, yet they should not be trusted in any
they can do anything. Shall we of Oregon
affiliate with those who design the downfall
of free country, respected throughout the
world. that from its ashes may spring up con-
temptible aristocracies and petty monarch
les? What will we gain or rather what is
there that, as Americans, we have been
taught to value as worth having, that we
will not lose?
Can we maintain a respectable station
among the powers of the eart,l. under any
other flag than the one that now floats in
dignity and pride over us? Where is there
n people that will respect the Palmetto flag;
or, suppose we of Oregon raise the Beaver
tail flag, or for the sake of policy cross our
beaver with California bear, and as a SYM
bol of the union etwiXt us and the Golden
State, and also to illustrate our position in
the new Contederacy, have huge bear with
the tail of an Oregon beaver appended there
to. Then in our subsequent brilliant career
as our troops go forth to plunder from the
greasers, or steal golden images from the
churches of Mexico, or chastise Brigham for
his scandalous system of pOlygamy by ma
king him divide his harem with us the Ore
gon soldier in the panoply of his might
would look up at the proud flag and have
the glorious satisfaction of being reminded
that this state was tailed on to California -
Sever us from the shipping of the North,
make it our enemy, and our commerce would
perish in an hour. Make the great North
and West hate us for our treachery, and
where is immigration to come from to people
our country? Tell the Indians that we had
gone to war with the great Iyce at WASH
ington and what would become of our Gor-
der settlements? The day that sees disunon
successful. sees the only hope of Oregon go
down for INJURIES, and perhaps forever
Population will cease to flow into our hor-
ders, and from absolute necessity, frontier
settlers will be compelled to abandon their
settlements from the obvious reason that
neither we, as a State, nor as member of
the Bear Beaver Tail Republic will be able
to totect our poor five hundred miles of
frontier from the Indians. The Indians from
all the reservations, eXasperated 10y their
treatment, would be turned loose. 1t was
the white men they dealt with aud the whites
would be held responsible, aud who cannot
foresee the inevitable resultH Disuuion will
turn the Indians loose TO murder and to tor
ture our people Then have we not great
and fearful interest in the Union. and have
right to demard that it be maintained and
that treason be punished wherever it may be
found?
