TRUE WOMAN OF ORIlON.-On tho. day.
Of the Yamhill Union Convention, q
gentleman Of Salem crossed the river at
Champoeg, stopped at q farm house on
business, and found only o little girl nj
home. To his inquires;i tho rosy little,
Web.foot answered TINT, "Fatber has
gone to the Union Convention Mt Lafiy-
cite, and Mother is out ploHiag!"
Repairing to the field, our friend found
tho stout, comely dame with her hoops
of, skirts tucked up, and following in
the broad furrow with tue decision and
composure Of the Roman Cin%cinuatus.
Stopping hor patient cattle, and turning
between the pillow handles, like n veteran
farmer ut rest, the good lady proceeded
to explain that "Olivcr [her husband]
had looked ali about for some one to
pillow while ho should attend the Con-
vention, but could find nobody. The
pillow could not stop, neither could his
duty to the country be neglected so
she had concluded to take the field, and
startod him of. She hadn't plowed auy
for a long timo, but had done so, aud
could do so again. Moreover, she
thought that now is the time for every
patriotic man and woman to show their
hands. If she couldn't vote, she could
do his work, and send somebody who
could" We might ask our advershries
what show they expect to have when
the Union women of Oregon manifest
so much of party spirit and resolution ?

FEMALE RELIEF SOCIETY.

Tho above, according to the Deseret
Ner, of April Both, is the name of a So
ciety organized at Salt Lake City, which
we would consider one Of the last places
on earth where the organization Of such
a society would suggestitself 10 a sane
man.
The Ners gives Il long account Of the
proceedings had at a ball given by the
society aforesaid on tho evening Of 10th.
Among those who were present and
evinced'a disposition to forward the OBJ
jects of the society, were Presidents
Brigham Young and D. H. Wells, Elders
Orson' Pratt, John Taylor, Milford
Woodruff, Goo. Q. Cannon and other
citizens Of good standing.
Messr. HIS. Beattie and II. P. Rich
ards are credited with having dis
charged their duties in a most efficient
and agreeable manner, and everything
was pleasant and enjoyable until the
hour for separation arrived"
Mrs. A. Miner was delivered Of n very
sensible address on womau's rights and
duties, closing with the following to the
male saints:
"Now, to our brethren We realize thai
Skhouqh ,es are toomen, We are but little
better than children in a business point OIL
view; and We ask you with your larger expe'
rienoe to aid u with your counsel and'ad'
vice, for We wish 10 be, not rulers, but what
God made rs for; the companions aud help
ers of man."

HEALING OLD SoREs.-It will be re-
membered that, on the 18th Of April,
1865, while frenzied with excitement
over the news of President Lineoln's
assassination, sundry citizens Of San
Francisco attacked and injured q few
printing Offices from which had emana-
ted publications that had pressed the
privilege of freedom Of the press to the
utmost verge Of loyal human endurance.
The parties who had thus provoked and
suffered by q popular outburst Of indig-
nation have long been seeking a remedy,
but no. until an enabling Act was passed
by the last California legislature did
the law furnish them any recourse.
Aud even now, when they are supplied
with ground to stand upon in the Courts,
they prefer to compromise rather than
litigate, and Marriott, of the Meas Letter,
who asserts a loss of So, $50, proposes
to accept Sls 800, while Brady, of the
Monitor, offered to settle his grievances
for $500. These propositions have
been before the Board Of Supervisors OF
San Francisco, and the proceedings, as
published in the local papers, indicate
that Mariott's claim, probably, and
Brady's possibly, will DO. allowed on
terms proposed. .,.,

OF MAINE.

To-day's dispatches from the East
contain a report, %emanating from that
fountain Of veracity, the Office Of the
New York Herald, to the effect that VIM.
Pitt Fessenden, United States Senator
from Maine, has prepared IN opinion
that there are no grounds shown in the
evidence or arguments justifying tho
conviction Of the President" Although
the source from which wo derive this
information inclines US to doubt rather
than to believe ii, there are several cir-
cumstances which ontitle the report to
be regarded rs at least possible. Months
ago we were informed by men in high
position and familiar with the ms and
outs, ~windings and twistiugs Of Con-
gressional cliques and complications,
that Fessendeu was supposed to incline
strongly to support aud sympathize
with johnson, and that those who knew
the Senator best were prepared to wit
ness a decided increase in the angle Of
his inclination. Newspaper reports have
also reached us from various reliable
and unwilling sources, that the Maine
Senator controlled more than his modi-
cum Of Federal patronage. It is also
welt known that Fessenden's health is
broken, his disposition soured, his
antipathies violent, aud his jealous
hatred Of Wade Of intensity and
degree approximating monomania. And
vet, when we remember that no re-
peatedly voted for the enactment of the
Tenure Of Office Act; when we reflect
that the simple question whether An
drew Johnson has or has not violated
the letter and spirit Of that Act, is tho
main issue in the trial knowing as we
| do that the President has certainly done
| what that Act said he should not-and
failed to execute that which it declared
to be lawful and his duty to do, we are
10th to believe that q Senator who has
been so eminent, despite his overbear-
ing disposition and d~isagreeable man
nsrs, would stultify himself by for
swearing his recent record and damn
himself in the estimation Of his con-
stituents and loyal men everywhere by
casting q vote which would re he should
vote with the majority inevitably on
danger the stability OF the government,
and certainly defeat in the approaching
election the party that has elevated him
to his present position, aud which he
knows to be tho only party Of freedom
and progress. Unless upon i~rrefragible
authority we will not admit that a mar
of Fessenden's ability and standing will
for personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT or through
uepotism, be induced to thus hnmiliat'
and degrade himself.

LET REASON RULE,

If ever the question whether nan is
capable Of intelligent seltgoysrnment
shall be decided in the negative, or if
ever the great.A American governmental
experiment shall prove ~ failure, these
results will more probably flow from tho
effects Of animosities bred Of extreme
and uuwise partisanship than from any
and all other causes combined.
That u number Of the citizens of>a
free Republic, sufficiently formidable in
numbers to endanger It's existence or
welfare, should seriously and delioer-
ately conspire for the destruction o ftheir
country, or W array themsclTesagainst
its welfare and progress seems incrcdi-
BILE and wholly Incompatible with the
idea that a government founded on pop
ular suffrage can ever endorse.
Aud ye. the tone and manner of many
leading partisan journals and speakers
in our own country, would seem to iut-
mate that n majority Of the members OF
either the one or the other Of the great
parties into which our people are so
nearly equally divided are opposed to
the maintenance and p~erpetuity OF the
government, aud inclined if not deter
mined to effect its destruction.
A sincere belief in the wisdom and
practicability Of our Republican system,
and a belief no loss sincere in tho iutel.
ligence and patriotism Of a large major
ity of our people, whatever namo OF
shibboleth they may adopt, forbid our
acceptance of any such doctrine. The
American people are not anarchists,
and no portion approximating to one
half of them prefer disorder or disatfcc'
ton to order and quiet.
Wherefore, in discussing the issues
involved in the momontous canvas upon
which we are about to enter, we pro-
pose to address all citizens as patriots
who have not expressed or demonstrated
traitorous proclivities, and to discrim'
mate Justly between error and those
whom we are not only willing but GLAD
to believe are honestly and innocently
erring. Treating tho members Of the
Democratic party thus, we shall, within
the limits Of u W organization, OBJ
serve a corresponding rule OF action
While We will claim and freely exercise
the right of personal preference among
candidates for party favor, we will n:
freely accord to other members of the
party the same privilege, and will in nc
instance abuse the power which control
| of q press ~eoufers, by traducing aspi'
rants opposed to u fayori!es.
Everything consistent with sclf-ro'
spect aud individual rights, we propos.
to do in the interests Of harmony and
party unity-nOt n io.a to distract,
ALLEVIATE or divide.
