the State. by aiding to restore to II a
sound Democratic Administration
The Suppressed Nni.
Nothing has yet transpired in refer
eneo to the restoration OF the Daily Over
land Mail. The people of Oregon have
now been deprived OF mail eommunica-
ton through and along the main high
way of the State. FROM Jacksonville Ia
Portland, for nearly three weeks. No
steps have been taken, 50 far as wc are
aware, by those in power, to restore mail
facilities. Mail communication is being
extended 10 even the States South but
0regoa is deprived of it. Tho reason
the authorities at Washington have for
this wrong and outrage upon the rights
of this people may be co%njeetured. Ore
gon has ceased TO be an Abolition State.
As a punishment for her return to Dc
mocracy she is deprived Of the Daily
Mail. Very well, her citizens will re
member this wrong aud outrage in June
next
1t is gratifying to know, that while
our State Executive and all the Aboii-
ton officials, whose rcmonstrancc against
this mail deprivatien, and whose petition
for the restoration of the Daily Mail,
ought to avail with the men in power at
Washington, have taken no measures in
the matter. the Chamber of Commerce of
San Francisco have interccded in behalf
of Oregon. At a meeting of that body.
Sept 14th, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resided, That the Chamber Of Commerce
of San Francisco views with serious concern
the action Of the PoStoFhee Department in
abrogating the daily service on the Overland
Oregon mail route from Lincoln. Cal, to
Portland, Oregon, whereby the eatiro pop
%ulation of the Northern portion Of the State.
and Of Oregon, are deprived of mail facilities
of every kind.
ReSolrcd, That a Daily Overland Mail he
tween Lincoln. Cal, and Portland. Oregon,
il essential to the development Of the com
meree Of the sister States of California and
Oregon, and that it is 90 be hoped that the Post.
master General will Immediately take steps
TO restore said daily services.
Reso}rcd, That the Secretary be instruct
ell 10 forward a copy of these resolutions Il
the Postoficc Department, and TO furnish &
copy To each one of our Senator's and Repre-.
scntatives.
We hope that the action of the Cham
Der Of Commerce may have the effect Il
induce the Senators aud Representative,
from California to interpose in the inter
est of Oregon, and hat they may prevail
upon the Postmaster General to restore
what has been 50 wrongfully snatched
from our people; but We are aware they
will have to overcome not only the stub
bornness of hat high functionary, but
also the antagonism Of Senator William,
to the mail; and it is feared that in thi,
they will not be aided, but INSTRUCTED, by
Senator Nesmith and Representative
Henderson. These men were sent frou
Oregon as public servants to labor for he
benefit. Not one act of benefit or goot
have they, officially or unoficially, per
formed; but on the contrary, the former
two, who have sat in Congress, hav,
simply worked to her injury and disad
vantage. Henderson takes his seat il
Dccer'her. So far he has had little OPP
~pamnity to perform either good or evil
but that little seems to have been devotet
to the accomplishment of all the harm i
has been possible for him to inaict upoI
his State. Oregon is most vilely repre-
sented in Congress, and her people ar
most shamefully treated by the Admins
%tration. Think of no mail being affordec
to the people of a whole State!
