CAUSES OF DEFEAT.

The leaders of the Radical party of
Oregon, perfectly astonished and be-
wildered at the result of the late cleo
ton, are busily engaged in assigning
causes for the calamities which have
oyertaken them and their party. One
alledges great frauds; another thinks
Logan is solely to blame; another
believes not only that frauds were
perpetrated, but that many " Union
men " were deceiyed;Ethat they were
made to believe that the Democratic
party are now, and have been, "for
the Union; )" and that thus many Rad
icals were hoodwinked and induced to
vote the Democratic ticket.
Now, the truth is, they have none
of them given the correct solution
The true cause is to be found in the
fact that many who, for some years
past have acted and voted with the
Radical party, have become convinced
that that party is wrong, corrupt and
rotten /; and they are fleeing from it
like Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah.
and are taking refuge in the Demo
cratic party. Hundreds and thousands.
not only in Oregon, but throughout
the entire land, are turning. with
loathing and disgust, from the Radi.
cal ranks and casting in their lot with
the good, old Democratic party-that
party under whose auspices u peo-
pie grew from a mere handful to one
of the most powerful nations on the
globe that party who never once
oppressed a citizen, and who never vi
oIated the provisions of the Constitu-
ton. Many, who have heretofore act
ed with the Radical party, are against
taxing the white man to support lazy
worthless negroes in idleness; they
are against taxing the laboring mar
to uphold bondholders; they are
against negro suffrage and negro
equality; and they very naturally a.

SALEM, June II, 1858.
Messrs. Abbott d. Bro1cn.
The meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Railroad Co., which has
been held this week in this city, end
ed its business at a late hour last
night.
Among the important business trans
actions particularly interesting to Linn
county, was the locating of a main
trunk, certain, through the county,
without designating any particular
route, or points to be touched.
Next week / shall commence a gen
eral canvass of the county for the sale
of stock, and for donation to aid the
enterprise. Both the Company and
contractors are hopeful of an early
completion of the road. Should the
people respond as they should, and
to the extent that their interest de-
mands, it will not be many months
before the iron horse will be snoring
over the prairies of Linn. Yours &c,

As the official returns have not yet
reached us, we shall rest content this
week with the statement of a few
prominent facts.
1t is now quite certain that Smiths
majority over Logan will be twelve to
fifteen hundred.
Strain is elected Prosecuting At
torney in the End District. Also it is
reported that Col. KeIsay is elected
Judge by a small majority.
Gibbs is elected Prosecuting At
torney by one majority!
We believe Judge Powell is elected
Pros. Attorney over Curl by a ma
jority of about fifteen. 1t is better to
be born lucky than rich.

THE PREsIDENTss CONGRATU-
LATEONS.

The following dispatch was received
ut Salem, by Senator Nesmith, on
Thursday the 4th instant:
WASHINGTON, June 8, 1858.
To The Hon. II " Nesmith:
ga. nestly congratulate you on the
triumph of correct principles in Ore
gon. ANDREW Johnson.
Good for President Johnson. He is
coming round to his first love. He
says the principles in issue, on the first
of this month, in Oregon, are "cor-
rect" and he co~ngratulates Senator
Nesmith on their triumph. Hence he
is in favor of taxing United States
bonds; against negro suffrage =
against negro equality; against the
negro bureau; against the tyrannical
Reconstruction policy of Congress-
IN favor of paying the principal of
the public debt in greenbacks, except
the 1910 Bonds, and in favor of a Tar
if for revenue instead of protection.
These issues were more or less sharply
defined during the canvass and were
voted upon On the first instant John
o says they are Correct" and OF
course they receive his endorsement.
But, says one, you must be a "John-
son man. Not a bit of it. We once
took some stock in him; but he "went
back on the Democratic party just
when he should have stood firm; and
we do not intend he shall have a
chance to deceive us again. And yet,
in one sense we are a Johnsonite. As
long as he advocates, ~enforces and de-
tends Democratic principles-as long
as he does what is right, he shall have
our eountenanee and support. But he
cannot have our aid as a candidate for
the Presidency. In this are
not, and expect to be, a "John-
son man.
P. S. Under date of June 8, Presi-
dent johnson telegraphed to Mr.. Da-
wilson, of Portland, as follows:
I thank yoa for the good news. Oregon has
done nobly and viii stand with the column Of
States which N the approaching elections viii re-
deem the nation from misrule and usurpation.
Again we say good for Johnson
Oregon hos "done nobly;" and the
States "wilI redeem the nation from
misrule and usurpation." There is no
doubt in our mind about it at ALL
The Radical party expect to carry the
elections with Grants popularity
They think the people want a military
man; but never did a party make a
more fatal mistake. The people are
tired and sick of fuss, and feathers,
and glittering stars, and all that sort
oftomfoolery. They want sound, clear.
headed statesmen, and they are going
to have them, too. Chase, or men Of
his stamp would have poIled a heavier
Radical vote than Will be cast for Gen.
Grant.

THE OREGON ELECTION.
The First Guu ron the Pacific
states i-.-A Centre Shot into the
DecnyIng Hulk Of MOngrelism.

One hundred guns for Oregon! The
Webfoot State has covered herself with
immortal glory!l The first response to
the action of the Chicago Convention has
been a most emphatic condemnation of
Grant and Colfax. Mongrelism and all
its revolving ~adjuncts are dead on the Pa.
cifc coast.
Nine months ago, by a majority of near
ten thousand, California proclaimed her
allie glance to a white mans government,
and her determination to restore the grand
old Union, overthrow by Radical perfdy.
Under the gallant Haight, the banner of
constitutional liberty was borne to a glo-
rious triumph. We predicted then that
Oregon, which by gross frauds was made
to give a majority against us, would take
rank this year alongside of California
In this we have not been deceived. Her
gallant, un!erriied and noble army of
Democratic patriots have woven for them
selves q crown of immortal honor.
They have condemned the infamous at
tempt of the Radical JacobIns to strike
down the President.
They have repudiated their wicked pur-
pose to place the Southern States under
negro domination.
They have declared that this shall be a
white mans government as well at the
South as at the North.
They have denounced the entire batch
of legislative monstroslties, sought to be
fastened upon the country by Radical per-
fdy and viIlainy.
They have rejected Grant and Coltax
as unworthy the confidence of a free peo-
pie.
In short they have proclaimed to the

HOW THE MINISTER'S VOTED.

We would be the last man cause
lessly and needlessly to do anything
to weaken or impair the influence
which ministers of the gospel exert
over the people. But when they do
wrong-when they are guilt : of glar-
ing nconsistencies-when they preach
one thing and practice another-they
should be rebuked.
On more than one occasion we have
had members of the white-cravat or
der censure us foradvocating the cleo
tion of men to important Offices whose
private character was not what it
should be; and yet, in all our life, we
have never supported a man whose
private habits are so vile, and low, and
dirty, as are those of David Logan.
He has been q most notorious debau-
chez and inebriate-perpetrating acts
of indecency, and profanity, and bias
phemy too outrageous republication.
His character in this regard is well
known to everybody, not excepting
the ministers of the gospel. They
are perfectly cognizant of his profani-
ty, and blasphemy, and obscenity and
habits of inebriation. And yet, al
most without exception, they marched
up to the polls and voted for him, and
exerted their influence to have others
do likewise. 1t is sometimes said that
they vote for such a man as n choice
of evils-that his opponent is no bet
ter. But in the case under considera-
ton this plea will not avail. Every
body who knows Joseph S. Smith
even his bitterest enemies-concede
that his private character is singular
ly pure and spotless-that he is a
dignified, transformations Christian
gentleman. This is conceded by those
ministers who voted against him and
in favor of Logan.
1t will doubtless be replied that
they voted for Logan in order to up
hold certain political principles
Well what are they? Niger Suf-
frage, Niger Equality-legal, politi-
cal and social-the tyrannicai Recon
s.ruction measures of Congress
the Impeachment of the President
in violation of all decency, and pre-
cedent, and law;-the quartering
of legions of armed soldiery on the
South; the niger Bureau-an in
stitution enforced at the point of the
bayonet, and which sustains and en-
courages niggers in idieness with
money wrung from the hands of the
white laborers of the North and
West corruption and fraud in every
department of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
taxation of q. s.. Bonds, and hence
in favor of a privileged aristocracy,-
in favor of the laboring millions bear
ing the burdens of the opulent and
wealthy and in favor of a high pro
t~ective tariff for the especial benefit
of the New England manufacturer
instead of simply a tariff for revenue
Such are some of the principles and
measures for which these ministers
voted when they cast their VOTE
for Logan. 1t will be a long time ere
these votes will be forgotten; a long
time ere these ministers rid themselves
of the stink by which they are now
enyeloped.

In the last number of the Democrat
We stated that Mr.. Mansfield, previ-
Gus to the election, promised to vote
the Democratic ticket. lie denies
that he ever gave such a pledge. Our
statement was based on general ru-
NOR; and also upon the fact that he
did say, tomore than one, that he was
as good a Democrat as ever. As VIC
always regarded him as a sound Dem
ocrat, up to a short time prior to the
election, and as we cannot see how q
good Democrat can vote for any 9TH
err ticket save the Democratic and be
as good a Democrat as ever, we felt
justified in making the above asser-
ton. Not wishing, however, to place
him in a false attitude in any respect
whatever, we %cheerfully give him the
full benefit of a denial, as above.
