CANT BE.-It has been surmised by some per-
sons here, that the idea of attaching Walla Wal
la County to Oregon, was originated by Sena-
tor Nesmith, and for the purpose, mainly, of Sc
curing himself constituency here to help re-
elect him to the U. S. Senate. This can't be
so, for several reasons, and among which it is
only necessary to mention the following Nes-
NTH, so he has told his friends, does not wish to
be te-elected, and is very desirous of returning
to private life. He calls himself a democrats
yet the democrats and the democratic organs of
Oregon, repudiate him and his democracy
This County is democratic and it would also
repudiate him. Where, then, would be get II
constituency here that would be any benefit to
his political aspirations, if he had any The
truth is, he could get none. Therefore, we say
as before, it can't be. Nesmith, probably would
have no objections to seeing this county uni-
ted with Oregon, but to do him justice, we can
not think that there is any political selfshness
connected with it. From all we can learn, the
question of annexation was started by citizens
of the county and town of Walla Walla, and that
Nesmith has had no more to do with it than
perhaps to make some unimportant remarks in
connection Herewith.

MErRoPoLIs.-Ou Dry Greek correspondent
thinks, cas- certain as time lastsY that he sees
a future State looming up. in this country. He
also sees that the WaIa Walla Valley is to be
the centre and great metropolis of that State.
Perhaps so, but it sounds very much like dry
joke. "Dry Greek" is a sanguine, "hOpe on,
hope ever" man, and it would be too bad if he
shouldn't see the realization of his dreams.

SCARCE AND HIGH.-Hog's lard is now retail
ing in Walla Walla at forty cents per pound
and there is little to be had even at this exorbi-
tant price. Now is the time for farmers to kill
some of their fat swine-provided they are for
tunate enough to have any. It is remarkable
that so few hogs are raised in this valley when
it is considered that bacon and lard uniformity
command so high price in the market. Farm
ers, raise more hogs to SELL and quit THIS thing
(Which is too frequently the case with some of
YOU of coming to the stores in town to purchase
your supplies Of lard and bacon.

PRETTY GoOD.-We don't like the idea
of telling tales out of SCHOOL, but sometimes
things will happen "within the pale' that
would spoil if kept there. The other day an
intelligent, but evidently prGudiced, friend
walked into our Office, seated himself al the
table and settled down for an hours amuse-
ment in looking over the exchanges. For a
long time no sound had greeted our ears
save the clicking Of the type and the rust
ling of the papers in the hands of our friend,
when we were suddenly startled by his en-
ergetically rising to his feet and spitefully
throwing down paper, with the exclama-
tion, " D-n the Copperhead thing when
will they quit harping on the niger cues
ton ?" and then with the air of an offended
monarch he strobe from the room Prompted
by curiosity to see what so " disturbed the
even flow of his blood" we walked to the
table and picked up the paper he had been
reading. HprOved to bethat most loyal Or
egon Statesman, and the article that had so
offended him was the one wherein tire Fed
eral officials who run it were settings them
selves right in the support of the Govern
ment" by coming out in opposition to negro
suffrage
Another, no less intelligent, picked up
the Grand Rapids Eagle-a hitherto very
loyal concern, but also a recent convert to
anti-negro suffrage-and scanning over an
article on the suffrage question, he laid the
paper aside, and, willing to prove his sa-
gacity, said "W-e-El, I'll bet that's Sc
cesh concern" We convinced him of his
error, and he picked up the paper-which
be had just lain aside as unfit to be read
to re. peruse the article, and make assurance
doubly sure as to its loyalty What his sec
ond impressions were we thought it would
be rude to inquire but he laid the paper
down more tenderly the next time, and we
venture that he quit reading it with a flea
in his ear"
But, amusing as these things seem, it is,
after ALL no great wonder that men who are
not close readers should make such mistakes
as these The change of base that is being
made by many Of the loyal journals is SO
complete that it must be difficult for The
casual reader to distinguish between their
principles and those advocated by the Cop
perheads. Men who support the Govern
ment" nowadays by allowing the Govern
ment" to make their opinions for them,
should look before they leap for the field Of
politics is thickly furrowed with " blind
bitches"

In the next Legislature the Democrats have at
least thrty-two members. Neither the 'Long
hairs" nor the "Short hairs can elect the Uni
ted States Senator without the aid of the Dem
ocrats, and as the ''Short hair" members are
principally Douglas and BrOderick Democrats,
there is no doubt but what the "Short hairs
and the Democratic members will elect the next
United States Senator, and he will very proba-
bly, be Democrat. J. P. Hoge or VIM. NJ,

His Honor, J. 2, Wyche, having inculcated
the singular doctrine hereabouts, that the peo-
pie could administer affairs when the admins
traitors Of justice are 'inefficient or corrupt,
probably thinks now that the people have no
particular for his services as District Judge,
and that they can carry on the Courts better
without, than with his "inefTicicient" services
That is the logical conclusion to which his
doctrine leads. There is no doubt but that the
people could get along better without his ser
vices, if they only could get more efficient
Judge in his stead

THE TAX QUESTION. -"Dry Greek" and "K.
O." don't exactly agree on the tax question.
The former thinks that the taxes are heavier in
Oregon than in this Territory, and the latter ar
CUES the reverse proposition. But DRY Creek
rather weakens his position when he admits
that taxes huctuate and that therefore the
difference in taxation is not matter having any
weight either for or against the mooted diyis-
ion. We are rather of the opinion, Also that
it won't make much difference so far as the tax
es are concerned, whether we go into Oregon or
stay where we are. In either case we are GER
tain to be taxed to the utmost limit. Hereto
fore we have been "going Slow in this Terrific
ry in the way of running up debt, but now the
"nationaldebtnationalble party" have a
large majority in the Legislature, and of course
this party must stick to its text, and ego the
whole hog or none" principle. There need be
no apprehension that we will not have a Terri
| torial blessing when the Legislature meets that
will be plenty large enough to defy all competi-
ton. Governor 'pauncheous," of the Webfoot
State, is doing all he can to bless the people of
that commonwealth with a magnificent debt
He has just called an extra (superAuous) session
of the Legislature, and for no other purpose, it
| may be supposed, than to increase the State
debt to half million of dollars, in round num-
bers. The debt of the State, we believe, already
figures up $500 900; and the beauty of it is, it
has all been made (clean cash) during the pas:
four years. Another year, at the same ratio,
and the Gibbs dynasty will have the half nil
lion of debt, easy, and perhaps more, for they
are now well versed in the business. We sus-
| pect that Gibbs & Co., are fearful that their
reign is about over, and hence the NECESSITY
fol- the superhuous Session, and hence, also,
''blessing."

The people of Lewiston seem to be in favor of
pondent "Publicola," come down from the
mines by that route, and he says he had to
"foot it" nearly all the way, the trail having so
many perpendicular slants on it over the
mountain gorges that it was as much as his
horse could do to carry a saddle blanket, and
make any headway If the people of Lewiston
admire that kind of travelling they had better
take the Lolo trail. 1t don't need any "openiDg
up" 1t is up now as high as the Indians could
make it-running over peaks that bear couldn't
wr ggle up. On the Mullan trail a man would
be laughed at if he should be found travelling
on foot, and leading a stout "American" horse.

AT LAsT.-The Oregon Statesman, after
Cheating round the bush" until it could beat
no longer, has finally come out squarely
in opposition to negro suffrage. Supporting
the Government" we suppose. AS the
Statesman is recognized as Federal Off
cial organ, the readers of that journal must
not be surprised if it carries its support of
the " Government" to the extreme of advo-
eating the same principles that it did before
the rebellion-straight Democratic 1t ap-
pears from recently published letters of Mr..
Lincoln that he was negro sufragist"
and if he had lived does any one suppose
the Statesman would have been so vilely
copperheadish and rebellious" as to oppose
the Government by coming out openly in
favor of denying the "colored cusses from Af-
rica," who "fought, bled and died" for their
country, the "right of sufferin', " as they
themselves term it? But Andrew johnson
don't think as Mr. Lincoln did, and there
fore what would have been loyal in the one
case would be disloyal in the other. This
thing of loyalty is queer institution. To
be considered sound on the question only
few months ago it was necessary for a man
to believe with Greely that our Starry EN-
blem was "Aaunting lie, with philips
that the Constitution was a league with
he'll" with Butler that the Southern States
had no rights, with Stanton that the negroes
were the best soldiers and saviours Of our
country, and with all the radicals of Massa-
cusetts that centralized form for our Gov
ernment was its only salvation; in short, to
denounce every measure advocated by Dem
ocrats as traitorism. Now, to be loyal, one
must believe with Mr. johnson that the
Constitution is our only bond of Union,
with Mr.. johnson that the Southern
States have rights that we are bound to re-
spect, with Mr. johnson that the negroes
should not be admitted to citizenship unless
by State enactments, with Mr.. Johnson that
Capitalization is more to be feared than Sc
cession; and in short, with Mr.. johnson, to
be just as nearly Copperhead as possible,
even to avowing that you have been "life-
long Democrat~ The squirming among
the loyal papers nova days to keep on the
side of Support the Government" aside
from its inconsistency, is most amusing to
look upon and, taking their past course as
criterion of the extremes to which they
can go, it should be no matter Of surprise
if they yet wriggle into supporting the
Southern idea that "might makes right,
and therefore States have right to 8ecede."

he is prepared to clothe them with that

From The Mahoning Regster.l
The friends of free suffrage in Ohio, who
hoped for an emphatic expression from the
Union State Convention on the subject
should not be discouraged. The question is
to-day the leading topic before the public
mind, and will be thoroughly canvassed in
every school district until the election takes
place. The Union party, as represented by
the press and public speakers, have taken
as decided grounds in its favor as the DEM
ocracy have against it. The failure of the
Convention that met at Columbus last week
to take any stand on the issue, by no means
banishes It from the present canvass. 1t
will be brought up and discussed at the
County Conventions and at every political
meeting. Gen. Cox, our candidate for
Governor, is at this moment an ardent adj
vocate of free suffrage. Let us see that the
men who will this coming fall be elected
to represent us in the Legislature of the
State, shall also be right upon the question

r., 1t is claimed that there are only two
States that undertook to secede from the
Union, that have In them larger Black
than White population. 1t is furthermore
claimed that the Whites are determinedly
oand unitedly opposed to the Blacks exer-
ecising the privilege of Suffrage, and that
they would always defeat the candidates
for whom they might see proper to throw
their votes, and thus rule them as COM
pletely, and, perhaps, with more severity,
than II they remained in the condition OF
non-voters. This is a ''loyal'' view Of the
question, and as such we commend it to the
especial consideration of all '.loyal" men.

''Fiye years ago we did not dream of the
troubles ahead,n said General SHERMAN in
hisEo6isville speech. WASHINGTON, JET
PERSON, JACKSON and CLAY in their day
warned the people of the United States
against putting into Office party sectional
In its character, aims and purposes. And
the Democratic, party took up and rciter-
ated the warning. But the warning OF
those men and of the Democratic party was
derided by the fanatics and their dull dupes.
One of the leading promises made by the
Abolition party in 1860 was, that the suc-
cess Of that party would give to the coun-
try freedom from future slavery agitation
that war was impossible; the South would,
doubtless grumble for short time; but
that their grumbling would soon sub
side, !, as they could not be kicked
out'of the Union; and that then the coun-
try would be blessed as it never before was
blessed; the landless were to receive land
and the homeless were to receive homes.
In the success of this sectional party the
worst fears of WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON,
JACKSON, CLAY and the Democratic party
were realized. With its success came a
War that has been so terrible, SO impover-
ishing and so desolating, that General
SHERMAN never wants to look upon its like
again, While it is probable the Southern
people will not again put into place and
power the men through whose Instrument
ality they we're precipitated into Rebellion,
1t is proper that the people in the free,
States should vote out and keep out of of
fee the Abolitionists who helped, through
their persistent intermeddling, to get up
this War. u ..n... p. 80.

On the Sd inst. General SHERMAN received
an imposing reception at Louisville. Hon.
JAMES GUTHRIE, in behalf of the city, well
coined the General in brief and pertinent
speech, to which the General responded as
follows:
GENTLEMEN II recognize the fact that

and racked my brain to the best Of It's ca
pacity: but admit that at the time all
looked to me gloomy and dark. knew that
in the North and West, and in the South,
too. were thousands of men who, when
nroperly reached, would rally to our flag.
I began the work here four years ago, and
have changed but little since. i thought
then, as Think now, that the course and
confluence of river and mountain had
bound us by a law higher than Of Oupow
making to stand together as one nation. i
believe that, by past history and'presentin-
terest, we are also bound TO live together IN
peace and harmony. know that we can,
and believe that we will. But II IL becomes
necessary to use force to that end, let US 90
it like men, and show to all men
that the supreme law of the land
must be obeyed from love, if possible,
but fear, II necessary. l wish that we
could all live like brothers, even in the blue
grass region of Kentucky. Laughter But
| though the heart OF Kentucky isbig enough

Pennsylvania, New York, and Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia, in fact, look IN any di-

men to hold them in one National Union
Five years ago we did not dream of the

over our land; and l welcome back this
peace, because 1t appeals to the hearts OF

Andrew johnson and the Poor
white Masses of the South.


COL FoRNEY says that ABRAHAM LINCOLN
was 'the champion of the poor colored mass
es Of the SOUTH" while ANDREW JOHNSON
is the tchampion of the poor White masses
of the South" tl Holtr h+a.
President JOHNSON knows something
about 'sthe poor White masses of the South.
He belongs to the South, and belonged to
~the poor White Masses" and has always
professed great anxiety to contribute tc
the bettering of their condition. 1t is his
opinion that their condition can not be bet
tered by giving the privilege of suffrage ID
the Blacks. Is the man, then, who antago-
nizes the Presidents views on this question
disposed to be friend to d" the poor
White masses of the South ?" Should not
their interests engage our attention rather
more than the interests of the "Colored
masses of the South?" General Cox and
his party friends appear to think not; but
this is no reason why the great mass of the
people of Ohio should think so. A much
greater General than General Cox agrees
with the President that the Government
should not confer suffrage upon the Black
man, and that General is General SHERMAN.
His counsel is to take the Constitution of
the United States for our political guide, to
conciliate and not insult the people of the
South, andt to allow each State to manage
its own internal concerns. A man who will
follow this advice cannot consistently vote
for General Cox or for any candidate on the
ticket with him. Remember that. ra-s.t

The journal is Right.

The Ohio State Journal has undertaken to
enlighten The NeW York IriJane in rela-
tion to Ohio politics. This enlightenment
amounts to about this-that there are two
parties in Ohio-the so-called Union and
the Democratic parties-that the so-called
Union party, led by General Cox, is in ia
vor of Negro Suffrage, and that the Dem
ocratic party isn't-that this is the only vi
tai question at issue. We think The Jour
nal has about hit it. There is no other is
sue between the parties engaging special
attention. H'. lrA
