 All the Union candidates. as we'll as the en- tire Union press, took position with Go gress. that further guarantees are to be given by the South before the forfeited rights of her people can be fully restored. President John son. on the other hand, stands opposed to re- quiring further conditions preparatory to full restoration On this issue the contest was joined, and @ considerable majority of the people of Oregon responded in favor of the doctrines enunciated and. defended by the Union party. The victory was fairly gained, after the severest contest ever known in this State. Whatever name any party or person may choose to call it by-whether Union or "Radical"- is victory for the Congression al plan of restoration, as will be evinced- in September, when the Legislature rati6es the Constitutional Amendment, which is the ground work of that plan.

 THE PRESIDENTS POWER OF APPOINTMENT. The question of the right of the President to appoint men to office, who have been already rejected by the Senate. is about to be tested before tn Supreme Court. Col. Wm, B. Tho. mas of Philadelphia, who has just been remov- ed from the collectorship of that city, will in titute the suit.

Johnson or Mir. Stansbury think otherwise. Daniel Webster's opinion was very decided against this executive claim
