OREGON ELEcTIoN.- spirited by their narrow
escape from defeat in Pennsylvania, Ohio and

rance doubly sure, every democrat entitled to
vote should be at the polls on Tuesday next, and
give one day to his country. Quite number OF
persons entitled to vote in Oregon, are tempo
rarily sojourning at Walla Walla. Let arrange'

polls Tuesday, there TO deposit their ballots

not even an examination before justice of the
peace If crime is to be winksd at in this way,

become the rendezvous of all the cut-throat

committed with impunity in Walla Walls county.
