Freshet and Landslide on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.

The heavy rains OF Thursday and Friday last
were very threatening in their effects upon the
numerous rivers ON which the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad is built. The MonOcacy was
particularly swollen, and its waters were higher
on Saturday morning than at any time since
lS47. The railroad bridge of wood, built last
September, to replace the fine iron structure
destroyed by Lees army, was in great danger
until the afternoon of Saturday, when 1t was
relieved by the subsidence, In part, of the flood.
II was only saved from total destruction by the
greatest care and the weight of heavily laden
trains of coal cars.
The great Harper's Ferry bridge was also
endangered, but as four out of its seven spans
are now rebuilt Of iron, II Is almost ready to
defy the AoOd as well as the fire. The Ope-
quan, Back Greek, and other brides, were like
wise threatened, and they, too, were only saved
by the intelligent energy Of the road officers and
their forces, by excessive night and day labors.
To add TO the complications of the road, on
Saturday most serious landslide of earth and
heavy rock for over 100 feet in extent covered
the track few hundred yards west of the Point
Of Rocks, seventy miles from Baltimore. This
Is said to be the first obstruction of that nature
that has occurred to the line in that vicinity,
and 1t is very difficult place in which to Ope-
rate, as the road lies on anarrow ledge between
the canal and the mountain. Mr.. W. Z. Quin,
Cey and his men, however, soon "cleared the
track, and by p. NJ. of Saturday the entire
line from Baltimore to Wheeling was again in
| full working order, and It's heavy business al
once fully reBumed.-BdltmtOre american.

The Democratic Platform.

WhereaS We, the Democracy, of the Territory
of Washington, in convention assembled, are now
and ever have been opposed to traitors, aiders
abettors and sympathizers. with foreign foes and
domestic rebels, to all men and parties who would
-subyert and destroy the rights Of the States and
General Government, or the liberties of the people
either by force of arms or by acts not sanctioned
by Constitutional authority; and,
Whereas, We believe the principles of the
Democratic party are founded in truth, have stood
the test Of experience for the last 70 years, and
have carried the Nation safely. prosperously hon
oraby and successfully through all foreign wars,
and domestic rebeons, and that it is alone by
the strict adherence to those principles, that the
Union as our fathers made it, can be maintained
in its integrity, the Constitution be preserved in
violate, and the liberties of the people be secured
and perpetuaed; therefore,
ResOLUed, That the written Constitution of the
United States is the supreme law of the Nation;
that no power created by it is independent of, or
superior to i that all authority emanang from it,
is subordinate to i, and that any exercise of au-
thority which would ebridge the rights it guaran-
tees, is an assumption of power in conflict with
liberty which is the inheritance Of the American
people that freedom of speech freedom of the
press trial by juy, and before the civil tribunals
oflhe country, are rights which cannot be ignored,
or abridged but by recognition oftyranny.
Resolved, That we recognize manifest differ
ence between any Administration Of the Govern
ment and the Government itself-the one is tram
STORY, limited in duration only to that period of
time for which the officers elected by the people
are charged with the conduct of the same-the
other is permanent and intended by its founders
10 endure forever
ReSoLved, That all laws passed by the proper
law-making power whether constitutional or un-
constitutional polite or impolitio should be
obeyed and enforced by every good citizen, until
repealed by the power that enacted them, or de-
clar, d null bv the courts
ReSolued, That the Democracy Of the Territory
of Washington are for the Union, the whole
Union, and in favor of the vigorous prosecution of
the efforts of the Governmentin crushing the pres
ent unholy and wicked rebellion, when such efforts
are not actuated by any other motives, than a
single desire to maintain the honor and dignity of
the Nation and the enforcement of its laws that
We are forever opposed to conclusion of any peace
involving in its terms the acknowledgment of the
independence of the so-cailed Southern Con-
federacy and that we hereby solemnly pledge
ourselves that come veal or woe, in life or death
now and forever, to stand by, and defend the flag
OF our Country in its hour Of peril

THAT BEATS. In his debate with
Mr.. Cole, at Coppei city, on Monday last,
Rev. 10. Raynor took occasion to pitch
into his FRIEND Judge Wyche. Among
other hard things, he said that Wyche,
while protesting to be good Union man,
was doing nothing for him, but -on the
contrary, by his silence was doing him an
injury. The Rev. gentleman went on to
state that on leaving Vancouver, Judge
Wyche told him that if he expected to be
elected he had better go to Colville, as
many up in that country did not know that
he was a candidate. 10. said, "when
Wyche made that assertion | was thunder
struck, and had to walk away to sup
press my anger" That "while protesting
to be good Union man, he had been to
Colville and held one term of Court and
yet they did not know that he (Raynor)
was a candidate" JO did not say word
against the Federal Clique on the other
side Of the mountains, and would not per-
haps have given vent to i'll feeling toward
Judge Wyche had he not believed that
Wyche vas personally unpopular on the
Coppei, in consequence of his extra judicial
proceedings in the Bunton case.
In a conversation with some gentlemen
who came up to this place with him from
the Dalles, Raynor said that when Wyche
first made the above declarations to him
he "felt like striking him in the face
There are very few men in this county
who will not think much better of Judge
Wyche, for the reason that he has not ia
ken an active part in this campaign in
favor of the hypocritical 10.

1t having become known that one of the
candidates on the Union Ticket has been
mean enough to have counterfeit Demo
cratic tickets printed at the Dalles we

genuine ticket is as follows:

have received a letter from Port

sured that the counties of Clal-

WHAT A REPUBLICAN SAYS
An old resident of the Terrific

Published Every Saturday morning,
MISREPRESENTATION.

MISREPRESENTATION. - Some
of the AboIitionists are busy cir
culating a report throughout the
county that we made a statement
in the STATESMAN of the 9Th inst.
that George E. Cole, the Demo
cratic candidate for the Delegate
ship, would renounce, as a can
didate, the views he entertained
in private life, A."
We emphatically pronounce this
"a misrepresentation. By refer
ence to the paper of that date, it
will be seen that we published
an extract from the OregOnian in
which that paper charged that
Mr.. Cole would Equality, as a
candidate, the views he was
understood to entertain in private
life" 1t will be seen, further,
that we denied this charge, stat
ing, upon the authority of Mr..
Cole, that he would NOT quail
fy," &c.-that is, that his pri-
vate Uiews are his public 05ews.
The Oregonian might have used
a better word than qualify"
nevertheless it expressed just
what the editor of that paper in
tended it should, and if any abO-
litionist has misunderstood our
denial of the charge from a lack
of knowledge Of the English
language, we can only regard it
ortunate that editors, when
are communicating ideas, can
1T the same time endOw such
.ers with brains. BY refer
e to Webster" it will be

"3. To abate; to soften; to
diminish"
