its forum. all upon scale of singular

paintings. and with the most preeioas

At the annual me ting, he'd at Middle
town, of the Miami ISOLATION, compris
Ing the Baptist churches of Cincinnati
anu vicinity, were passed the following
patriotic resolutions. The congregation
rose en- masse aud sung:
MY country, lis thee
Sweet land Of liberty,
OF thee | sing"
Resolved, That with the pronounced
t eason OF the South, or with the more sub.
tie and cowardly treason of the North,
we have nothing to do, except only to
fight them both. and that it is our Chris
tsn duty to uphold Cur Government with
every possible energy.
Resolved, That we give all gratitude
and honor to our brave brothers in the
field.
Resolved, That we hail with thanks
giving TO the Gjd OF Battles our Iecen,
victories. and that We earnestly beseeef
Him to 20 forth with our armies until The
rebellion is utterly broken.
Resolved, That while we desire and

EDS. STATESMAN In the last issue of your
paper, appeared Communication by Frank P.
Dugan, purporting to be a reply to a letter writ
ten by Mr.. Loony G. Bond to the Oyegonian, in
which Mr.. B. speaks of the late election in this
County and particularly of a transaction at
the COppei precinct
In said communication Mr.. Dugan takes oc-
casion to allude to myself, in relation to the
| election and to grossly misrepresent me. The
charges made by him, that I secured bare ma
jority by palming myself off to some as DEM
ocrat, and by having my name pasted on demo-
cratic tickets, &C, are utterly untrue, as those
cOgnizant Of the facts well know; and that I
hold a Federal office, 1 deny. Mr.. Dugan de-
nominates the election at Wallula and Pataha
as a farce In regard to those precincts, the
election may not have been conducted strictly
in accordance with the manner prescribed by
statute. But does any one charge that fraud
was psactced there or that voters had not an
opportupitv of exercising their free choice? If
so, and it be sustained, | say throw out the vote
of those precincts. Il mere technicalities are.
to be regarded, very few precincts would es-
cape. As regards my election to me Leglsla-
ture, it is a matter Of little Importance to fae-
save in the prosperity Of principles hold-for
the honor of the Office is very small, and the
emoluments less.
In justice to myself deem the foregoing
explanation necessary, in order that persons
abroad may not be misled And thanking you
for the necessary space in your columns,
I am respectfully, yours,

The "Oregon Arena" "


This is the title of new Democratic pa
Per, the first number of which was issued at
Salem, Oregon, on the 18th instant-pub-
lished by the Salem Printing Company and
edited by @. B. Bellinger AS a sample of
its Democracy, we quote the following from
the editors salutatory: s
There is but one question to which we shall
address ourself in this Introduction, and to that
briefly. That Secession finds no warrant in our
Government; that it is fraud and outrage upon
our free institutions, is affirmatvely settled in
almost all minds North. While the employ
ment of force to check this wrong has been al
most universally acquiesced in, yet at the same
time there are many who regard the employ
ment OF such force as inexpedient and ruinous
rms question large number of persons are still
9eDatlng without thought of dsloyalty to the
Government, Let the results of the last three
bloody and terrible years afford a solution
There is one other aspect in which this question
is presented. All ought to feel that no consid-
Grafton should be allowed to stand in the way
of a preservation of the Union; but all certainly
cannot feel that a war commenced ayowedly
against rebellion, and to save the Union with or
without slavery, ought now to be continued
against slavery simply to consummate its ex-
lIuCltOuj Win or WlCQOuG the Union. II
power is employed, it certainly should not be
directed against the institutions it was invoked
to save. If the results that have followed this
war are its necessary results, then let the war
be smitten quickly, surely and fatally by the
hand OF righteous and patriotic chastisement
II they are not the necessary results, then let
the agents who have procured them be hurled
from favor by an outraged people. We are ad-
monished that the trial by jury has disappeared
the secu,i5y of person and property has been
removed; the freedom of speech destroyed; the
habeGS corpus, inestimable to freemen, 'formid-
able to tyrants," has been suspended; and the
chastity of the ballot-box has been violated
all under the eye of law, where there was
naught to oppose the civil authority except
those who pretended to save the Union. The
ilfamy of rebellion affords no palliaton for the
infamy of this usurpatiOn.
We avow ours elf an humble member of the
Democratic party-a party not devoted to men;
not to enforcing a single idea though an entire
syst5m of social order should be thereby de-
stroyed; not trucking, subservient admins
t-aton party; not party whose confidence is
entirely bestowed upon tne agents of the Gov
ernment, whose ambition is to plunder and
wnose argument is power; not a party filled
with contraband citizens, public plunderers and
stock jObbers, who have loyalty upon their lips
but none in their hearts-but The party ofproud
history; Government party, crowned with the
laurels of successful administration, whose rule
was marked with prosperity and peace and from
whose overthrow this carnival of blood and
ruin dates.
We trust we are understood Henceforth
our opposition, effective as we make it, be-
longs to the twin imbeciles of Cleveland and
Baltimore. Our humble support will be for the
Chicago nominee.

CHANGE of SENTIMENT.-A private let
ter from an old friend in the east contains
the following:
4" never saw a more rapid change take
place in the political sentiments of the peo-
pie than is now going on. There is dssat-
isfaction in the Republican ranks on account
of the "packing" Of the Baltimore conven-
tion to secure the nomination of Lincoln.
Many preferred Chase, Banks, Butler, and
even Stanton had his friends and supporters.
Fremont, of course, had his, and they being
the largest party, and seeing that he was
going to stand no chance at all at Baltimore,
"took time by the foreock" and nominated
him. They, in common with the friends Of
/ the other men. claim that the primary and
| State conventions were controlled ny the
| Government officials, and that there was no
fairness in them. The opposition elements,
| which include those who act from principle,
| disappointed ofice.seekers and those who
act merely to be in the strongest party will
| pretty generally unite upon Fremont; but
many who have formerly been Democrats
| boldly announce their intention to await the
action Of the Chicogo convention before de
| ciding. When men announce their inten-
| ions thus farit is a pretty safe rule to count
| them as having their minds already made
up. My humble judgment is that Fremont
will serve Lincoln as the Fox Of Linden,
wal" IVAN Buren did Cass; for there is
no doubling the fact that he will get large
vote The late call for the hundred days
troops has so disarranged business affairs
that the people are complaining very much,
and it will be but natural if this continues
much longer that a strong peace party will
grow up for the hardships endured by the
| people at home in some sections are almost
as great as those experienced by our sol
| diers in the field.
The democrats are at work everywhere try
! ing to effect union of the war and peace
Democrats If they succeed in this there
is no reason why they should not elect their
President; for with the Republican party SO
divided they have the plumbers to do it..
! Mcclellan is yet he prominent man for the
nomination. All the veteran regiments Of
/ the army Of the POtomac-Whch now count
only about one third their original number
are said to be for him almost to man.
Yet would not be greatly surprised to see
a nomination made ia Polk and Pierce,
and some new man taken up upon whom
there will be no difficulty in concentrating a
vote. 1t is understood that the Administra-
tion has opened the way for the return Of
Vlllan ,hdm, in the hope that he would
stir up dissentions in the Democratic party /;
but my opinion is that he has no inclination
| to do so, and if lie had that the sagacious
Central Committee would impress upon his
mind the fact that =" discretion is sometimes
the better part of valor."
