A NEW CoMPoUND.--Dr. L. c. Kinney
has published the platform upon which he
stands as candidate for the Delegageship.
He informs his "fellow-citizens" that he
is now, and always has been a Democrat Of
the Jackson school, and is peace Demo
crat is opposed to Lincoln's war; is a
Vallandigham Democrat; endorses Gov
ernOr Seymour's letter to the Ohio De-
mocracy"
This strikes us as g most singular COM
pound; but like all other great patent rem
edies, we presume it is warranted to kill
or cure, and we think it will kill
the DIR.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER Capt VanDyk re-
quests us to state that he intends to resign his Of
fee Of County Commissioner as soon as the cleo
ton is over, and suggests that it would be well
for the people in voting, at the approaching cleo
ton, to vote for TWO Commissioners in order that
the appointing power in filling the vacanay, may
appoint a man who will be the choiceof MAORI
ty Of the people Of the county

OPPOSED TO THE WAR.-Dr Kinney
is opposed to the prosecution of the war to
put down the rebellion. We do not see
that the DR.. differs in this respect any from
Jeff. Davis. Jeff. wants "Lincoln's' war
stopped and SO does the DIR, They both
desire separation.

Pulpit and Politics.


''Politics and the pulpit are terms that
have little agreement. No sound ought to
be heard in the church but the healing
voice of Christian charity. The cause OF
civil liberty and civil government gains as
little as that of religion by this confusion
of duties. Surely the church is place
where one days time ought to be allowed
to the dissentions and animosities of man
kind d."-Burke on French Revolution,
Vol. 1, p. 1907
John Milton speaking of the political
preachers of his day, calls them ''the dis
turbers of the civil affairs >" and says they
are "the most pra gmatical sidesmen of ev-
cry popular tumult and sedition:" 1t
would be well if the political preachers OF
the present day would give heed to these
weighty truths.
The great Methodist commentator and
preacher, DR.. Adam Clarke says: "Po-
litical preachers neither convert souls nor
build up believers on their most holy faith.
One may pique himself on his loyalty, the
other on his liberality and popular notions
of government, but in sight of the great
Head of the Church, the first is sound
ing brass and the second a tinkling Gym
bal. when preachers of the gospel be-
come parties in party politics, religion
mourns, the church is indebted, and po-
litical disputes agitate even the faithful Of
the land. Such preachers, no matter
which side they take, are no longer mes
sengers of glad tidings, but the seedsmen
of confusion, and wasters of the heritage
of Christ"
We would commend the foregoing to the
Prayerful consideration Of the Reverend
gentleman now on a political pilgrimage
around Puget Sound Washington UR-
ion.

The Ca steam. Navigation Company
are again masters Of the navigation of the
Columbia. We are informed ihat they
have effected an agreement with the Trans
portation Company by which that company
retires from the Columbia and takes the
Willamette trade. The o. S. N. Co. have
purchased the steamers IRIS and Kyus and
united them to their line The people of
the upper country have had a fair trial of
the effect of both high and low freights,
and we believe are not disposed to object
to change in prices just at this time
With this new arrangement prices have
gone up, and the following are the figures
that will be charged until further notice.

Won't SUPPORT HM.-A friend writing Us
from Portland says:
Much is said by some Of Raynors friends
here about the Church supporting him. With
the single exception of that mistaken philanthro-
pist on the other side who has lately jumped in
to the " dirty pool of politics" and commenced
writing for the Oregoniaa over the signature of
" Citizen, do not knowa single member of the
Conference who will vote for him. His sermon
at Oregon City and his doubtful position in re-
gard to the Union resolutions in the Conference
at Eugene City "played him out" with his Union
loving bethren. He is ID fact regared by them as
very .fshy, both as preacher and politician, and
his position is mildly spoken Of as anything for
fee" There is no doubt expressed here that he
is pledged to The Federal Clique and you will
notice that even the Ofegonian has lost its ar
dor in its support of him. Bros P and R. the
"big guns" of the Church in this city, | am told
are fernenSt him, and were they in Washington
Ter, would deem it their duty to oppose him to
the bitter end. Bro. 1t, on the Sound is also
out against him. Raynor is evidently disposed
to observe the Scripture injunction of being all
things TO all men ;" for he claims to be a Demo-
crat, and modfes his democracy that there is
not an abolitiOnist or Federal official in the Ter
ritOry who is not electioneering for him." I have
lately been over into Clark and Cowitz counties
and was assured there that Cole would get maiOri
ties in both those counties. Friends from the
Sound inform me that the Democracy there are
united and will give Cole such a vote that with
the vote he gets east of the mountains, he will
have a clear majority over both the other candi-
dates"

For SNAKE RIyER.-The Steamer Col Wright
is to be sent up to Lewiston to run between that
point and Pittsburg Landing. 1t is said she will
be able to run between those points when boats
can not ply between Wallula and Lewiston, on
account of low water.

VIII DENY IT.-It is sald that Rev.
JO Raynor will deny, in a speech he in
tends to make here, that he is in any man
ner pledged to the interests of the Henry
Hale-gree Notwithstanding clique. So did
Peter "who was also disciple" deny his
Savior, but that, it seems, did not extern
uate his guilt. A man who is mean enough
to pledge himself to such cOterie would
not be considered meaner if he denied the
the association, nor less under obligations
to them if he did So

a New PrOpeIIer.-The Milwaukee papers
are in extaces over the New Propeller IDAHO"
that has arrived in that place from below, on her
first trip. She has been built at cost of $40 0oO
and is the most elegant steamer of the kind ever
on the Lakes We copy the following from
lengthy panegyric on her exceences. sufficient
to give an idea of her qualities and capacities
The Idaho is as fine a vessel as floats upon
our inland Waters. Her cabins spacious and
are furnished in the most appropriate and tasty
manner throughout. Her state rooms are not
like moderately fair sized bed rooms inasmuch
as they are nearly all supplied with double berths
and all of them are fitted up in the most luxurious
STYLE She has four bridal rooms which must be
seen to be appreciated When we say they are
elegant in the extreme, we have said of them al |
we can say. In fact nothing is lacking in any
department to render the journey OF the passon
gers pleasant and agreeable, and shall be great
Iy surprised if the Idaho is not extensively pats
ronized by the travelling public. She can easily
accomm odate one hundred cabin passengers, and
from fifty to sixty seeerage passengers. The lat>
ter are provided with stove and capacious berths.
The dimensions of tn Idaho follows
go 6l-l0O feet long, - 72-lO0 feet deep, 81 40
100 feet wide, with burthen of 9l5 As 95 tons
Cus4om House measurement. Ter hull is thick
and durable while her frame, in all its parts is
braced in the most substantial manner. Her bow
is protected by heavy iron plates, thus enabling
her to run late in the season without fear from the
effects of ice. Her model promises combination
of beauty, speed, an great carrying qualities.
