CHAsp AND THE DEMOCRACY.

The Democrats, as they call themselves,
are in truly bad way. They have no can
didato of their party that can be elected on
the principles of the present bogus Demo
c-acy. Pendleton is perhaps the truest ex-
poncnt of the principles of their leaders,
but these principles they know are almost
rs odious as those of JEFF. Davis himself, to
the honest masses. They are now in such
straits, that they are willing to adopt Judge
Chase, the greatest abolitionist, next to
Wendell Philips, in the country, as their
candidate. John Morrissey, the professcd
puglist and gambling member from New
York, says the New York delegation, all but
himself, are for Chase, but he goes for Pen
tlleton. If they are determined to take up
the refuse candidates, of what they call the
nigger party, why not take up Wendell
Philips, or Garrison, as Vice President, and
make the ticket complete. If any one ever
had any doubts, that the principles which
governed the present Democratic party, arc
those which John Randolph denominatod
the seven principles of the five loaves and
two fishes, his eyes must be opened by this
humiliating spectacle. The great Democratic
party down on its knees imploring Chase,
the great abolitionist and negro advocate, to
become their. candidate The New York
Herald now leads the Democracy, and favors
Chase and Dix, with Gov. Seymour for Sec
retary of State Fcssenden for the Treasury
Pendlcton, Attorney General; Hendricks,
Interior; Farragut, Navy; and General
Mcclellan, Secretary of War.

presents field, better in my judgment, than
any which has been offered for many years
The land acquired by the governmen,
through treaty with the Usage Indians, is
of the very best quality. Most of it rolling
prairie, and the streams well tim bered, with
hickory, ash, black. oak, walnut, sugar ma.
pie, &C., &C., and in consequence of the fine
prairie, farms can be opened up with com
paratively little labor. Wheat, corn, oats
and potatoes are cultivated successfully.

The climate is moderate in summer, temper

SCUM. DEMOCRATIC OPINIONS. "A con.
versation to the following effect recently
took place it is stated, between Gen. Grant
and Governor Curtin :
why do you like the Methodists, Gener.
al q finally asked Curtin.
Because their religion is one of hard
Knocks. They take hold of man and
never let him drop until they have either
converted him or scared him so he will say
his prayers some time in his life, and th Us
be saved" said Grant, with smile. HThen,
too, it is an American religion. The Metho.
distS are entirely democratic, yet no Church
appreciates the value of union, federaliza,
tioh, or Capitalization in government more
than the Methodists. | wish that our ma
tlonal Government had the liberty and the
strength that 1t ought to have from pro.
per exercise of these principles"
These are sound Democratic opinions, as
the reader will admit.

A FRIEND called our attention to sour
rillous article, in paper, called the Iaae
pendent, published in this place, in regard
TO the procession Of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and the strewing Of flowers over
the soldiers graves. Fortunately for the
character of our town, the obscurity of the
source, from which it originated, renders it
less obnoxious, if not entirely harmless, -
Some disciple of Brick Pomcroy must have
thus endesvored to relieve himself from the
horrors Of vacuity, suffering from the effects
of wind, where nature designed there should
be, at least, some evidence ofintelligence and
patriotism. Wctrust the writer feels better
if not his friends should take him to the
asylum, provided for the unfortunate.

OREGON ELECTIoN.-The late general
election in the State of Oregon, fora mem
Der of Congress, and members of the Legis
lature, has resulted in favor of the Demo
Gratis by about 600 majority. The State is
never very certain for any party and from
the fact that a large number of rebels
emigrated to it after the rebellion was put
down, it is nothing to surprise any one that
this election should be carried by their as.

an opportunity before the managers. 1t is
not likely that he is prepared to answer
everything in connection with the late i'm.

emmitted. There are other questions of as
much importance as that which he refused
to answer but considering that his new
