A sunnosed Cancer Cured.

Messrs. A. L. scovin & Co.-Gents-Mr. Elisha
Bradley of Bath county, Kentucky, had on his hand
a very bad swelling which he thought incurable He
also had on his cheek bone what he supposed to be a
Cancer, and could obtain relief until he used DR.
Bakers Pain Panacea, which cured him of that dis
ease, and also the swelling on his hand This medi
cine is much thought of that every family in our
neghborhood keep it constantly on hand. In fact
it is the best medicine for the diseases it is reccom
ded for that we can get. R. A. CALDWELL.

Abraham Lincoln received the nomination
for the Presidency at the late Baltimore Con-
vention. Andy johnson, Military Governor
of Tennessee, was nominated for the Vice
Presidency. Andy holds the Governorship
by appointment over Campbell, the elected
Governor of Tennessee. johnson was at
one time extremely pro-savery in his views,
but he is now an eminent and prominent anti
slavery man. He is probably the strongest
man that could have been put upon the Re
publican ticket for the Vice Presidency.

That "SAcRAMENTo." THAT stupen-
7dous work of building new Sacramento"
which has so exercised the minds of town
siteingers ever since the discovery Of gold
mines in the upper country, seems destined
to forever remain an incomplete job. The
great natural advantages of sand and sage
brush which attracted the speculative from
the lower country to Umatilla City year
ago, seem to have lost their charm, and the
idea of building Sacramento" there is
acknowled to be oashhiShpeeH Slowly, yet
surely the denizens of that once much talked
of, oft dreampt Of locality are relinquishing
their fondly cherished hopes of "realizing"
upon their yet unoccupied corner lots; and,
one by one, they are witnessing the dissolu-
ton of the castles they had built in their
imaginatons, and in reality made to feel that
instead Of the Ginning Of bells which they
once expected to hear sounding out their
glad music from the steeples of these mighty
iedifces, the time viii more likely dawn
when the wall of the night owl will echo
\ from their present habitations and swell up
on the air. where rolls that particular por-
tion of the "Oregon" upon whose banks ma
ture has planted so rich growth of the de-
lectable sage brush, and where Eye winged
winds carry young cobble-stones against the
houses with lightning velocity and get up
counterfeit hail storms and Oregon mists for
Webfoot lovers of ''rain upon the roof"
So "Sacramento" is not to be built there.
Still there are those who are determined
that it shall be built, and who continue the
search for the site whereon it shall spread
itself with an energy only equalled by that
of the ancient sages in search Of the phi
losopher's stone. Twice has the joyous Gu
eka" been uttered by these modern vision
aries, and twice, as they have witnessed the
departing glory of their cities, have they
.mournfully exclaimed, hyas cultas But
new Eldorado has been discovered, and
great supply depot must be built up for that
region Already the shreaod are fixing up
on the spot. Priest Rapids, with its glori-
GUS surroundings, so nearly resembling
those of Umatilla, has been chosen by some;
the mouth of the Grand Coule, with its
thousands and tens of thousands Of acres Of
desert stretching away upon either side, is
selected by others; others still talk of inva-
ding the sacred soil of Her British Majes-
TVS dominions, away beyond the line, and
erecting the town among the pine and snow
clad hills of the Upper Columbia; and still
others love the spot at the mouth of the
Pellouse, where the Inj-ins have been wont
to congrcgate, perhaps for centuries past to
catch salmon, and where NC nov catches
such 'whoppin' big trout. Well, gentlemen,
if you must build Sacramento" pitch in
but we would mildly request you not to
come near Walla Waa We want breath
ingroom here. Besides, we prefer steady
and permanent growth to anything like the
mushroom expansion and evanescence that
has marked the history ofyour former "Sac-
ramentos"

two years, but whether action has been ta-
ken on the subject in the present Congress
or not we are not advised. However, we
would suggest, as our election is over and
as the people went into the election with
bona fde intentions expecting members to
go to the Legislature as formerly, that
they are in duty bound to take their seats
next winter, and if Congress has taken no
steps with view to biennial sessions in this
Territory, the Legislature can go to work
and have it accomplished by next year
The idea of having annual sessions for a
few hundred people in this Territory, is ex-
travagant and absurd A few people living
at Olympia, printers and others, are perhaps
benefited by the annual sessions, but the
people at large are not, and the members
many of whom are required to travel a long
distance to get to and from the Capital, and
at considerable expense, express themselves
in favor of biennial sessions and increased
or double pay to members. .1
BADLY BEATEN The Democratic party
in Oregon as the returns show, were badly
beaten in the late election We are not
surprised at the result. When Democrats
adopt a platform, as the Oregonians did, that
may be described as "neither fish, flesh nor
foul, " simply to gain the favor Of, or to
compromise with a few secesh sympathizers,
they deserve to be beaten. But, even with
their wishy-washy platform, they might
have still kept their heads near the surface,
had they, Or any portion of them, paid no
attention to the rantings of such men as
Jimmy O'Meara and 10. Lane, and, instead
of allowing them to take the stump as
spokesmen for the party, contributed sum
and sent them off to bask in the Sunshine Of
their great light Vallandigham.

SANITARY PRoPosITIoN.-M Z. P. Du-
gan makes proposition through our col
umns this week, to the members elected to
the Territorial legislature, that the members
elect "stay at home and let the session go by
default" and that they join in memorializing
Congress to donate the amount of their sal
aries, mileage, etc. to the Sanitary Commits
sion. The proposition is rather a novel one,
yet if Gas Mr.. Dugan says there is no legis-
lation required for the Territory next winter,
we have no doubt every member will give
the matter due consideration. So far as
Walla Walla county is concerned, we know
of nothing in the shape of Territorial legis-
Ation that is necessary or desired; yet
sohething may "turn up hereafter that
viii require legislative action OF the
other counties, of course we are unacquaint-
ed with their local wants, and it may be that
in some localities there are individuals who
would like to have enactments for "Ferry
privileges, etc: But the general laws of
|. the Territory are quite sufficient for the
present, and perhaps would not be much
approved by being oyerhauled and patched
VI. Oregon, has a population about five
times as large as that of our Territory, and
the people appear to be well satisfied with
having only biennial sessions of their legis-
llature We believe that biennial instead of
annual sessions in this Territory would meet
with the approval of large majority Of our
people. A great deal of the time of
the last session was occupied in ut
terly useless legislation, "bills for bun
combe," and bogus bills of all kinds we're
gotten up by members which were not only
useless, but which many persons think were
disgraceful to legislative body assembled
to enact good and wholesome laws for the
people Perhaps with session only once
in two years. much useless legislation would
be done away with, and members generally
be Of more service to their constituents
Congress has been petitioned to take some
steps in this matter, in relation to changing
the Organic act so as to make it necessary to
convene the Territorial Legislature once in

UNFORTUNATE LOss.-On Tuesday the

sunk with about nine thousand pounds Of
goods, belonging to Mr.. Jas. McAulif, Of

goods were all swept rapidly away down the

McAulif was on his way to the Kootenai

boat was 'swamped' in consequence of being
too heavily laden.

A Proposition.

EDS. STATESMAN The Election has
passed and what the result has been we
know not. Whether it has resulted in the
election of majority of Democrats or
"Union" men to seats in the Legislative As
sembly, [ do not know But this much
l do know, that there is no neces-
sity for any legislation this winter. Hav-
ing been a member of the last assembly
know that every measure that was of any
benefit to the people was passed long before
the session expired and that for twenty days
before the session closed we all taxed our
brains unsuccessfully to find new business
and there has nothing transpired siuce to
make increased legislation necessary. In
fact we have already had too much legisla-
ton in this Territory. Having been re-
elected to a seat in the House of Represen-
tatives have this proposition now to make
to all persons in the Territory who have
been elected to either House lst, That we
stay at home and let the session go by de-
fault. 2nd, That we all join in a memorial
to Congress recommending that it donate
the amount Of our salaries, Mileage and all
other expenses attending session including
OleFK, OJdCOueIy, IIlhIlhg, VsUdSe, 0~cI0
Knj0es &C., to the Sanitary Commission l
believe that this disposition of the matter
will be satisfactory to the people of the
Territory, beneficial to the sick and wounded
soldiers and profitable to the members them
selves. Hoping to hear favorable response
to the above propositions from the members
elect throughout the Territory, | remain,
