The Election Ina OFegon--HOwithe
Administration Carried it.
> Before us we have the Oregon. Democratic
Register Of june 2, exposing the manner in
which the yecent election in that State was
carried by Administration interference.
1t appears that most Of the lands in that
State are held under what is known as the
eDonatIon Act" BY the terms OF this act
q person who settled and lived upon 60 acres
as the case might be, for four consecutive
years, is entitled to patent from the FEEDER
al Government, confirming TO him the title
Owing to delays, the patents to many Of
these donation claims have lot yet been
issued. A
1t is alleged that in order to make the
election of the Republican candidates certain,
the Federal authorities instructed their in
struments in Oregon to assure all who held
donation claims, but to whom no patents
have yet been issued, that unless they voted
the Administration ticket, or abstained from
voting the Democratic ticket, they should
not only have their patents withheld, but
also their lands should be confscated to the
Government. E t..Ht Htt 't
The Register publishes large amount Of
proof to sustain these allegations. Among
the rest IS a notice given by the Federal Col
lector at Astoria, in which he says:
"Let every man who expecis Donation
Patent from the Government for his land be
careful not to array himself against that Gov,
ernment next Monday. The poll books will
be evidence against him il he does"
letter is also given, which was written
by the Surveyor General of Oregon, which
letter was intended for public use, though
addressed TO Democrat Of Influence. We
copy this letter entire, as but one specimen
