That Nr."-Notwitbstanding we

confidently promised. Alonzo, in his Mon

by which We may form an idea Of the import
Of the dreadful document" in question. lie

Of the Surveyor Generals Office. Alonzo
We admire you! But why didn't you say As

when YOU have been merely used as the cats

knowledge that you formed a wrong idea Of
the whole tenure Of the " document" in qtirs-

cause him to course the day he learned to

terrible hints Of removal from Office" "Au.

10 The treason disscminators are greatly
incensed because the seizure of Mason and
Slidell did not cmbroil our Government in a
war with England. The treason press in Ore
gon are an unit in bowling about the I" national
disgrace" involved in delivering up the arch
traitors. The seizure was justified only on
the untcnable ground of precedent set by
England herself, and was not regarded other
than as gross violation of international law,
for which suitable repatriation should be made.
But why was not the cry of "nntional dis
grace" raised by these self same sticklcrs for
national honor when rebels, with arms in their
hands, demanded the surrender of all title Of
supremacy by the Government over nearly

throw of the Government. Yet now, when
an act of aggression is committed against a
friendly nation, and our Government seeks to
repair the error, these treason-mongcrs bite
their fingers and raise the howl of "national
disgrace! Consistency amt it,
- The Vancouver Telegraph comes to
us this week a. smiling and pleasant as a
May morning. We conclude that somebody
must have got hold Of it last week in the all
sence of its regular editor. We aie glad to
find Urban at his post again, and we hope he
will stay at home hereafter. We copy sew
eral paragraphs from his paper this week.
We are encouraged now to believe that he
has not sold out to the Democrat peace party.
The whole tone and appearance Of his paper
has changed since week before last. and We
now have strong hopes Of him. Don't dis
appoint US again, Urban.
IR The Overland Press assumes that We
have Withdrawn our objections to Mr.. Kendall
as Superintendent. because We said nothing
about him last week. We have the best Of
reasons for this. Our advices from Washing
ton assured us that Mr. Lincoln had complied
with our request for his removal. having sent
the name Of our townsman. Calvin IL. Hale.
