of the falsifying trio present. Col. Kel..


gonian. The poor, mean creature rose,
stammered, changed color, shifted around,
and finally confessed that he believed che
was mistaken that Col. Kelly did not
say what he (Loey) had asserted he did.
In other words, Loey admitted that him
self, Burns, and the other slanderer, had
lied about what Col. Kelly actually did
say. The rebuke Col. Kelly administered
to the shiyering, preyarieating, craven
penitent was the more whitening because
of its earnestness aud apparent mildness.
Locy took 1t like a bad, vicious boy, con-
scious of his guilt, aud cowardly because
of his meanness. He stood the pattern
of abject humiliation.
Another lie of the Abolition organs
with reference to Col. Kelly demands ex-
posture. Correspondents of the States
man and Oregonian tell of how the buss-
ard hummer, Col. Haiek'ns, "backed
down" Col. Kelly at Amity, Yamhill
county, last week. The facts are as fol-
lows: As Col. Kelly was ON his way to
Lafayette from Dallas, he stopped at Am
ity to hear Gibbs and Hawkins speak at
a :" Union" meeting there. Although
the spurious Tennessee hummer and Hi
nois assassin had not met Col. Kelly, he
referred to him sevcgll limos in his fanat-
zeal harangue, and put questions TO him.
To one of these questions Col. Kelly re-
~sponded, and spoke of your traitors" in
the Radical ranks. Hawkins flaming to
believe hat Col. Kelly called him a q trait
or, : and trying the bluff game of a Par
%olles, as he is. rushed towards where Col.
Kelly stood, shouting DO you call me
a traitor r Col. Kelly told him if he
would go back to his place he would tell
him what he did say. Mistaking Col.
kelly's mild manner for fear, the coward
~ bully rushed on and became holder in
his tone. When within about ten feet of
1Col. Kelly, that gentleman said to Hawk.
ms" Go back, sirl" The bully came
within FIVE feet, when Col. X. made an
unmistakable motion with his fist towards
Hawkins face, and said in very forcible
language, with a sharp expletive added
$50 back, or I'll knock you down! y
And back slinked, sneakcd, almost crept.
the craven cur, trembling all oYer, and
blanched as . sheet. Gov. Gibbs and
some other of his friends, | ought to add,
however, intcrfered to save Hawkins
from Col. Kelly's wrath as the ugly or.
der Was given, and thus saved their paid
hound the blow he so richly deserved
Hawkins resumed his place and his ha-
rangue, but said he would not notice Col.
Kelly again. He tried to prevent Col
Kelly from explaining to the crowd what
he had said, because it was a Union
meeting, aud no Democrat had a right to
speak at it." but the crowd, more gener.
Gus and just, did listen to the explanation
Hawkins left the stand a slunken, "de-
moralized" braggart.
Hons. Jas, D: Fay and Lafayette Lane
have spoken here and at Oregon City
aud both made excellent speeches. Mr..
Fay agreoably disappoints all who hear
him, ever the Radicals. He is able, ar
gumentativc, manly and clear in bis re,
marks, and appeals to the reason and judg.
ment of his hearers. He towers over
Mallory like an eagle over a sparrowhawk
and is doing excellent service for the
cause he represents with such high abili-
ty and fitness. Mr.. Lane is pronounced
one of the most clear, logical, chaste aud
effective speakers in the State, BY all who
have had the pleasure of hearing him, and
makes hosts of friends at every point.
Fay and Lane both merit high praise for
their able efforts in the campaign. They
refute satisfactorily the numerous false.
hoods published against the Democracy
and the candidates, and provo up a roo.
ord against the Radical party which thoiI
organs and speakers cannot %controvert OF
answer.
Ny convictions that we shall achieve 0
triumph in Oregon on the 4th Of the en-.
suing june grow stronger as | progress
in the campaign. There is not . reasona.
BILE doubt of it, if there be signs of the
ltimes. No where do We hear of any
changes from our party to the opposition
but, on the contrary, at every place VIC
have reliable information of materia'
changes in our favors and, in addition, o.
an increased strength from the emigration
Of the past two years. The Radical ma
jorities Of Marion, Clackamas, Washing
ton and Multnomah will be greatly re
duced, if not in some special instances en-,
tirely overcome, and of the triumph of oul
Legislative ticket there can be not ths
slightest fear. The next U. s. Senator
from Oregon will surely be q Democrat
