left, of this county, introduced bill for this
purpose, which was strenuously urged by
him, but it failed to become law. 1t is
high time that this was done. The Calave.
ras Chronicle very sensibly suggests that the
districts be constituted as near as possible
out of counties having a community of inter-
ests, and further, that the election OF mem
bers should take place one year before the
members elect would be. called upon to- take
their seats, 80 that in case of a called session

The Elections In the East.

Partial returns from Pennsylvania, Ohie,
and Indiana indicate that those States hcTs
gone for the Democratic ticket. It would
have been better for these States to have
adopted and followed the patriotic examples
set by Oregon and California, and merged all
their Union elements into one mass But
they did not, perhaps because party machin-
cry is useful to ambitious men, and % they
have kept up the distinction of % Democratic,
and Republican," and have fought the
campaign through, on the names alone. Let
it be remembered tc the ineHacable disgrace
Of the Democratic party of these States, that
it openly sought the votes of the secessionists
and their sympathisers. Howbeit the plat
form of the Democratic ticket in each of
these States stands pledged to the mainten-
ance of the war, and thus the result of these
elections gives no consolation to the seces.
sionists of California. That is some comfort.
Speaking of this matter the Marysville Ap.
peal says:
The Express affects to see signs Of great
revolution in the North, because on account
Of the absence of Union voters in the army,
some Democrats of doubtful soundness have
been elected to Congress from Districts here
tofore represented by Administration men.
1t is too soon to crow even over this. Wait
till the full returns are in. Meanwhile, let
us foot the matter up as it stands now. The
Union says:
. Iowa has elected five Republican Con-
gressmen. She has but two Representatives
in the present Congress, SO that the Admin
istration gains three supporters. This rem
ders the loss in Ohio of less Importance
The Congressional elections in Oregon,
Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa
have resulted in the return of thirty. eight
Union men and twenty six " Democrats. y
The Democrats" have elected their State
tickets in Indiana and Ohio In Iowa, the
Republican ticket has ten thousand MAORI
ty. The West will have large increase of
representation in the next House."
These results do not change the character
of Congress, nor will the November elections.
1t is certain, besides, that many of the
" Democrats" chosen are in favor of sustain
ing the Administration and prosecuting the
war, which the Expressis not. One thing is
certain-the National sentiment has not re.
trograded, but advanced and the work Of
the last Congress and the President since
cannot be undone.

TExAs-Col Jack Hamilton lately es-
capped from Texas and arrived at New Or

there, and in it said :
In all the broad limits Of that State there
was no man who could say he was actually
poor. He might have but an humble home,
a little log cabin, but he had plenty. This
was before the era Of secession. Go to that
poor mans home now You. will find his
wife clothed in rags and weeping for her hus-
band, who, she will tell you, three days ago
was dragged off as conscript to pour forth
his blood like water in furtherance of a
cause he detests. Such is the condition of
things in Texas. There is no Government
there except that of horde of military off,
GERS, who have established martial lava
martial law of Vigilance Committees and
petty tyrants; the people ground down by
war taxes and heartless exactions of officials,
and watched over with unrelenting tyranny
When a man is suspected of being friendly
to the cause of the Union, he is arrested and
then furnished with safe conduct out Of
the limits of the State, and then-is hung
by mob. More than 200 men have perish
ed thus fearfully within the last eight months
poor, humble men, who have testified with
their lives to their loyalty and faith in free
Governments. and more are being and will
be hung if help is not sent into their midst"

UNION IN OREGoN.-Before leaving for the

the Union members of the Legislature of

forbids as from alluding to, as we would

always be cast in maintenance of the war
and in support of the constituted authorities.
He said that parties as of old constituted,
on this coast at least, were obsolete, and that
here there were and could only be two par
ties-patriots and traitors. Senator Hard.
ing. with Senator Nesmith. will nob.y repre-.
sent the gallant State of Oregon in the Ma.
tional councils. The Union party in that
State has made for itself a more perfect or.
ganization, and it now presents such front
that overthrow is simply impossible. The
influence of that State in California should
be felt, and the ranks of the Union party in
this State should close up and be in condi.
