Virginia.

In recett speech in New Jersey,
Henry Clay Dean, of Iowa, pays the fol-
lowing glowing tribute to Virginia, the
mother of States, statesmen and heroes
/ dare speak one kind word for the OPP
pressed in the very teeth Of the oppress-
or Since Adam took possession Of Eden
no part Of his heritage has given to man
such an hundred years of history as that
Of Virginia, beginning with the public
life of Washington and ending with the
surrende of the armies Of General Rob-
ert Il. Lee. The great orator, Patrick
Henry, whose spirit lighted up the first
great revolution, and whose mild, sweet
voice called armies up from the valley
and down from the mountain to defend
New York, New Jersey and Massachu-
setts from the invaders hoof, was Vir-
ginian George Washington, who led the
continent tal armies, was q Virginian ;
Thomas Jefferson, whose great soul en-
compassed the world and lifted its light
upon benighted age to teach it liberty,
was Virginian James Madison, who
environed our rights by flame of living
fire, which the most illustrious periods in
the past and present century preserved
unharmcd all that was sacred in lite and
precious in hope-thc Constitution of the
United States-was a Virginian John
Marshall, whose luminous mind, guided
by immutable justice, gave being to a
most profound and comprehensive judi
ciary, the bulwark of American institu-
tions, the marvel of mankind, was Vir-
ginian I; Henry Clay, whose commanding
majesty of soul drew after him, whittier
soevcr he went, fully one-half Of the
whole IN pral and intellectual power of
America, who did obeisance in his name,
was Virginian the Lees, Richard Hen
ry, Arthur Francis Lightfoot, Light
Horse Harry, and his illustrious son,
Robert f. Lee, were Virginians; Thomas
Jonathan Jackson, the great military
genius of the Western Hemisphere, was
Virginian. The courts and legislatures
and forums aud pulpits of every State in
the Union, and every Government on the
continent, have been adorned by Virgin
ians. Their blood, shed in noble defense
Of liberty, has fattened every valley, and
their bones have bleached on every noun
tain from Bunker Hill to the City Of Mex
leo. With such a history and such race
Of freeme 70, Henry Wilson, Horace Greedy
and Charles Sumner would disfranchise
this illust trious people, and place them un.
der the t4telage of negroes! Proud, glo.
rious old Virginia, what American, with
American pride, would not rather be
Stonewall Jackson, buried in the bosom
of Virginia, dead and immortal, than live
and be Butler, loathed by mankind

The Rev. w Fl. Spalding, for about
thirty years past missionary among the
Nez Perces of Oregon, but now a resi-
dent of Linn county, will soon furnish us
with somewhat detailed history of his
trials, and labors, and privations, and the
dangers he has encountered since his ad-
vent among them-including, of course,
full particulars of the Whitman massacre.
The first number will probably appear in
our next issue, but it will take three or
four months to complete the entire Sc
ries. We have examined some of these
articles, and We can assure the public
that they will prove very interesting,
particularly to all Oregonians.
In addition to this we intend soon to
write ~Nd commence the publication of
articles relaei--. to Oregon; also, our
views as to the best rU~sa from the States
hither-the kind of outfit necessary, eru.,
We suggest to resident Oregonians that
this is favorable time to subscribe for
the DEMOCRAT and send it to their
friends whom they have left behind in
the States. We know by experience how
highly such favors are appreciated by
those on whom they are bestowed.

HAS CHANGED HIS BAsE.-Greel,

HAS CHANGED HIS BAsE.-Greeley
calls general Dix, Custer, ETC., "base and
treacherous hounds" because, after fight
ing as they thought for the Union, they
refuse to 90 now for negro suffrage. In
order to show what base creature this
man Greeley is, we give his 1863 plat
form for Democrats, when he was trying
to inveigle them into the army:
/. That the war was wagcd for the
ends that loyal Democrats approve.
2. That from first to last the President
made the preservation Of the Union, and
the restoration Of the rightful CO titu-
tional authority of the Government, the
poll-star of his course"
3. That whatever he is impelled to 30
against slavery is done expressly to 50
the Union, and because slavery is an OBJ
stacle to its restoration.
4. That his power over Slavery flows
entirely from the rebellion, and will die
with it"
5. That each rebel State will recover
all the power that it over had over the
status of its own people by the simple and
salutary process of ceasiDg to be rebel
and becoming once more loyal.
6. We believe that the President has
always had power to accept the submis,
sion of any revolted State to the Union.
Z. We do insist-for we hold it imper.
atively necessary that Democrats who may
be dOucting shall understand and belieV We
that the President is not enslaved by t. c
proclamation Of freedom, but is to day
ever has been, and ever will be at per
feet liberty to accept the submission Of
revolted States on whatever terms shall
be deemed by him consistent with the
integrity, perpetuity and honor of the
| United States.

GENERAL LEA correspondent of
the Richmond Enquirer has the following
notice of the reception of General Lee,
at Rockbridge, Alum Springs:
Great excitement! General Lee is
approaching! The cry runs from cabin
to cabin that General Lee is coming"
when presently that noble old hero is
seen to pass the gate. Mounted on the
renowned old white charger, and quietly
moving through the town, is seen that
mighty warrior, clothed in the habiliments
of peace. He wore suit of pure white
linen, broad-brim straw hat, with high
top boots outside of his pants, gloves and
spurs, as he passed our door on his old
war-horse, which seemed to step proud
and light, as if conscious of the treasure
he bore. I could but gaze upon and adj
mire the noble bearing of the venerable
old hero as he passed quietly along, with
his silvery locks, erect form and soldierly
modestly waving his hand
and tipping his hat to the many admiring
friends who greet him with admiration
and love-"

CHARMING CONsIsTENcY.-It is per-
fectly marvellous, says an eastern exchange,
to witness how afectionate the Radicals
are now towards our "Irish adopted citi-
zens p A little while ago they could find
no words Of contempt strong enough for
these same Irish; but apprehending that
they may need the Irish vote at the polls
this fall, they suddenly cease their abuse
and play the toady to excess Not long
ago they insisted that a negro was better
than an Irishman in every respect but
now, and until after fall election, they
are prepared to make affidavit that an
~4rishman is the noblest, the bravest, the
ablest, and the best and the most intelli-
gent of all human beings. And what is
still more marvellous is the fact that you
can find Irishmen foolish and inconsistent
enough to believe the Radicals are honest
in their professions of regard. The num-
Der of that kind, however, are very few,
and that few have but very little influence
with the mass of our Irish citizens.

A correspondent of the Nashville
Union and American, writing from Brad
ley county, Tennessee, tells this rather
tough story:
Quite ludicrous and novel circumL
stance occurred few days since at large
revival that was going on among the
darkies near this place, which is indica-
tive of the hollow-heartedness of the So
called missionaries who are sent out here
from Massachusetts, and other places
North, for the enlightenment of this
race. A preacher, who has charge of the
mission" By the name of Oviatt, said to
negro man named Anthony Grant, q
member of the mission" who was sitting
at his side, that he would bet a set Of
harness that one of the many penitents at
the anxious seat" would get religious
before the prayer would be concluded
"Good" said Grant Sure enough one did
profess. Grant 20 whom the proposition
was made, thought no more of the matter
until next morning, when Oviatt called
on him for the harness Grant refused to
make the payment, Oviatt sued him be-
fore the Bureau, but lost the suit The
above was furnished US by gentleman
who personally knows the facts.

DAILY LINE FOR SALT LAKE.-We
learn from Mr.. John n. Todd, agent OF
the Holladay Mail and Express Line.
that the service, by order ofthe Postmaster
General, is to be increased to daily line
from Salt Lake to the Dalles by the way
of Walla Walla, W. 7. The new arrange
ment will take place as soon as the ad-
ditional stock required can be procured
and distributed along the line, probably
within a month. The travel between
here and Salt Lake is steadily increasing,
and the order for daily line has not
come too soon.-TIda Statesman.

ABOLITION LoGIo.-The Crisis says
that the Tennessee members, sworn in the
last three days of Congress, received their
pay for the whole session, although the
Radicals had repeatedly voted and sworn
that the State had been in the Union all
the time. There is nothing SO astounding
as Abolition logic, unless it be Abolition
arithmetic when there is money to be
stolen from the Treasury.

A most singular affair took place at
Richmond, Missouri, between two young
sons of Mr.. Flourney, aged respectively
IL and 13 years. While playing with
a loaded revolver they got into afght,
whereupon the younger shot his brother,
and then in stroke Of boyish remorsc
gave him the pistol and told him to shoot
back, which the brother did, killing him
instantly. The first wounded is very badly
hurt.

A FREE SHow.-Van Amburg's ele-
phant had gay and festive time while
crossing the river at Dixon, ILL.,, few
days ago. He went into the water well
enough, but was rather slow about coming
out, remaining in the river four hours,
despite the persuasions of his keepers
At this the Dixonites were highly amused,
seeing as how the "show" didn't design
to stop at the village, and they focked
to the river in focks, minus breakfast,
minus hair combed, and minus good
clothes, all "to see the elephant"

The Radicals are now attempting to
shift the burden of the So, 900 swindle on
the shoulders Of the Democrats, by say
ing that "they done tip 1t has not often
been the case that 40 could pass bill
over the heads of IA, but they are try
ing to make the people believe that the
Democratic minority of 40 did SO. The
fools are not all dead yet, and they may
succeed with some of their own party, but
sensible men will be very apt to see it.

AN APoLoGY.-Wc like the style OF
apology recently made in the st. Louis
Republican. Dwelling in the State OF
Missouri is political parson, delighting
in the name and title of Rev. Col. Bah.
cock, who figured, during the late war, in
a very cruel and criminal "role." The
Republican, not long since, photographed
the scoundrel, holding him up to the de.
testation and loathing of all white men.
The scamp did not relish the "expose,"
and signi6ed his intention to institute
proceeding against the Republican,
Learning this, the paper referred to, made
the Rev. Col. the following handsome
apology, which should annul the proposed
suit, and satisfy the damaged reputation
Of the clerical fanatic. Read the apollo.
'gy:
"We do most freely and fully acknowl
edge that We have declared him an aces
sorry to murder, the leader of a gang oi
counterteIters, an associate of horse
thieves, a hypocrite, liar, libeller, scoun.
drel. We wish now to take it all back
and reiterate the charge with double and
triple emphasis. The heart of that man
is black with crime. Upon his hand i.
the stain of blood. He has conspired for
the overthrow of the pure and guiItless
He has Knocked the righteousness of hea-
ven by using the garb of Gods ministers
as a cloak for his nefarious and damnat l.
purposes. While prpfessing to be preach
or of truth and virtue and honesty, hG
has been doing the meanest and most de.
graded service Of the devil. Some Of hi
villaininies We have exposed, but there
are others still behind which we may ye
bring to light to damn this graceless
scamp to irretrievable infamy."

THE RELATIVE STRENGTH OF PAR
TIEs.-Some indication Of future results
may be arrived at, says the n. Y. Sunday
Mercury, by reference to the persons
and institutions that support the Presi-
dent, and those that still hang On to the
coat-tail Of Radicalism. Thus the Chief
Magistrate of the Union, who is the head
Of the Conservative movement, is fanked
in his grand movement by Gen. Grant on
one side, and Admiral Farragut on the
other or, in other words, he has the Ar
my Oh his right hand and the Navy on
his left To these towers of strength
has been added the invincible might Of
the church militant, in the accession
of Father Beecher. The press is also on
the same side with few exceptions; those
who support the President being two to
one of their opponents. On the other
side the Radicals have only temporary
hold on Congress, and their leading out
side organization is the late long haired
and short~skirted free-love-gpiritualist con-
vention. Thus we have on one side,
church and State, army and navy, press
and pulpit; and on the other, grabbed
old bachelors, like Thad. Stevens, and
sour-minded spinsters, like the strong
minded women. They, of course, dislike
union of any sort; aud having no domes-
tic victims to claw, would fasten their
nails in the hair of the human race In
general. That's what's the matter. E

CONGRESSIONAL ExTRAvAaANCE.-
It would seem that with nations as with
says the Mountaineer, having
once entered upon course Of extrava-
gance, there is an irresistible tendency to
ever increasing reoklessness Of expendi-
ture. -hc axe having been thrown away,
it is natural impulse to fling the helve
after it. Upon no other theory can the
proeuseness be accounted for with which
the late Congress scattered the public
money right and left, to be scrambled
for by the spectators and plunderers
who form the rear guard of the radical
army. Not content with squandcring the
treasure drawn from tho people under
the pretext of paying the national debt
the majority in Congress voted away the
public domain with electric speed, tc
railway companies, and corporations o.
every kind, whose manipulatOrS are known
to be sound on the political goose. The
public lands, If properly cared for, would
place the finances Of the country upon al
impregnable basis, such as no other coun'
try can command, but it is rapidly being
absorbed by capitalists, who pay nothing
to the Treasury, whatever they may have
contributed to tho private fortunes o.
Congressman; and the final act of the
late Congress, in voting themselves s5,
900 salary per annum, is the crowninl
act of impudence, and one which shoul(
damn them for all time To come.

THE WAYS OF PROvIDENCE.-Durin
the late war, Democratic editor, named
Bollmeyer, was murdered BY an Aboli-
Zionist, says the Monticello On. Y Re-
publican Watchman, because he asserted
and exercised freedom of the pree, as
guaranteed by the Constitution of our
country. 4 Black Republican Court
tried and acquitted the murderer. The
whole tIial was a disgraveful farce, and
all who participated in it were guilty of
official perjury. Some three years have
elapsed and the County Clerk, the Sher-
if, and about one half of the jury, are
dead, while the Infamous judge, who out
ragged justice at the trial, is an idiot in a
lunatic asylum! Jim Lane, while his
hand was yet smoking with the blood of
murdered victims, was elected to the Of
fee of United Stotes Senator by Puri-
tanic Legislature For one of his MUIR
ders he was tried, and, of course acquit-
ted. He has fallen by his own hand
1t is now believed by most mankind, that
Mrs. Slrratt was guiltless of participa-
tion in the murder of Mr.. Lincoln
When she was under sentence of death,
after a trial which will be considered a
blot on our country and age, Mr.. Preston
King prevented access to the President,
and denied admission to her daughter,
who almost shrieked and sobbed her life
away on the steps of the Executive Man
sion. 4 few months afterwards, Preston
King stilled a remorseful conscience in
this world by selfmurder. We could fill
a broad sheet with such cases; but we
forbear.

WHITE SwALLows.-There is quite
novelty at Winchendon, Mass. A

there, in which there are three beautiful
pure white ones. They are larger than
the ordinary barn swallow; the tail is
shorter and less pointed. They are beau
tiful birds.
