POLYGAMY IN UTAH.

A bill is now pending in Congress
to dismember Utah Territory, and
join portion of it to Arizona, another
to Nebraska, another to Colorado, and
another to Idaho Territory. Thus cut
up and divided, the Mormons will be
in a minority, and will be compelled
by State and Territorial laws to abol-
ish polygamy, and conform to the mo-
nogamous doctrine of one wife to each
man.
The policy of dividing up the Ter
ritory of Utah in order to get Of rid of
did not originate with the
present Congress. 1t was first con-
ceived and advocated, some fifteen
years ago, by Stephen A. Douglas /;
but it was violently opposed by the
frcc.soilers and abolitionists of that
day and Mr.. Douglas, being much
engaged IN another direction, never
urged it very much upon the attention
of Congress or the country. 1t is only
another instance wherein the genius
and craftsmanship of DIR. Douglas has
been most effectually and signally rec
ognized by his bitterest enemics.-
The plan, if adopted, will win. 1t will
ultimately work the complete destruc-
ton ofMormon polygamy; and being
in perfect accord with laws already
enacted, the Mormons cannot cry out
persecution" with any thing like
truth and justice.

Our friend Abbott, of the Albany Democrat
takes us severely to task for article which ap
pcared in the Commercial during our absence
From long acquaintance with us he should have
remembered that no matter what may be our Other
faults, we have never failed to rebuke, both ID
public and at the social board. any one who spoke
lightly of the Holy Scripture, or the Deity, with
intent TO destroy belief In the divinity of the one
or the divine existence Of the other. He should
have remembered that we were absent from ouI
post when the article appeared. and had he waited
day or two, would have seen in the Commercial
prompt repudiation of the same.-~POrtland Com
niercidL
Give us your hand, friend Dow
We see now we were s'too fast" We
wondered how you could write such
an article; but it was under the cdi-
torial head, and though we knew you
had been travelling, yet we supposed
you were in Portland again, having
some days previously seen it stated
that you were on your way thither.
Right glad are we to see the above
disclaimer from your pen. ''Let us
have peace" again.

LIGHTHOUSES.

YAoUISA BAY, Jan. Is, 1869.
Editor State Rights Democrat:
Seeing an article in the Corvallis
Gazette of the 26th ult. on the subject
of lighthouses, | beg leave to offer
few remarks on the same. After 26
years of nautical life, | feel surprised
to see any person advocating the
erection of a lighthouse at this place,
in preference TO one of the Capes.-
Cape Fonlweather is distant from va
quina but B! miles y. W.; Il danger
ous reef stretches from the Cape, and
eliminates in n rock south of this
port. Now, if lighthouse can be
built on this sunken reef, the shoaiest
spot being but feet below the sur.
face, it will be a good place-there
are lighthouses in such places-other-
wise, its place is on the high cape
known as Foulweathcr, which pro.
jccts farther seaward than Yaquina
Head, and is far higher. / have al
ways understood that lights were
placed to warn the passing as well as
the approaching navigator, and also
that the one who is bound in, may,
to use a technical term, hang on to
it " during the night. All this would
be answered fully with light on the
Cape The writer of the article in
the Gazette, assumes great deal iE
denying the name of cape to Cape
Perpetua, he also speaks of his own
inconsistency; the argument against
the Cape is not worth the paper upon
which the answer might be written !;
as to his consistency, it does seem
strange that any person should advo.
cate n measure and then be the first
TO object. His criticism on abler and
more experienced men is ridiculous ;;
and then he deals in the pathetic s.
"When the mariner in a storm sees a
light, &c" on the coast of Oregon, he
had better put safe distance between
his vessel and that light. A critic
ought to be well "posted" on the sub
ject of which he speaks. Now mark
the gentleman's ignorance of locality |;
he says "there is a lighthouse at Cape
Arago, which is of great service to
Coos Bay, but they will soon need
one at the entrance of that harbor,"
Cape Arago is at the entrance OF Goes
Bay, and the Lighthouse is not further
than O mile from the extreme south
ern end of Coos Bar. II
Yours respectfully, y
Robert STARKEY.

DEMOCRATIC PRESS.

This is the title ofa paper just start.
ed in Salem, by Beriah Brown. II
presents geographically neat mp.
pearance, beng printed on new ma.
terial aud of the same size of the DgM
ocgAT. In one Of his editorial articles
Mr. i. says: 81 can say in perfect
faith that no personal wrongs of mine
will be thrust upon the Democratic
party as an element of discord." Yet
the very article from which this sen.
tcnoe is taken, contains a long and
prosy account Of his real and imagi.
nary personal grievances; and he vi
perously attacks the present publish
er and editor ofthc Herald, and makes
several statements about the writer of
this article that are totally devoid of
truth. II may be true that Mr.. Brown
does not intend 10 introduce discord
into the Democratic party Of Oregon ;
bat, We will be permitted to say he
has an exceedingly singular way of
nanifcsting his intention.
We have said that he has made sever
al untrue statements about the editor of
STATE RIGHTS DEMOCRAT; but We shall
not proceed to notice them in detail
at present-perhaps never;-for sever
al reasons. In the first place the sub
ject-matters in dispute are either per-
sonal or business matters i'm which
the public at large are not interested,
and for which they care but little
In the second place we do not wish to
do anything that may distract and
divide the Democratic party of Ore
gon. We will bear and forbear un.
til forOearance ceases to be virtue
ere we shall thrust our personal and
private wrongs and troubles before
the attention ofthe public. In the next
place we do not wish TO engage in any
acrimonious alteration with any one,
if it can possibly be avoided, because
our time, at present--as must be known
to the editor of the .PreSs-is very
much occupied in personally attend
ing and ministering to the wants Of
one united to us by the tenderest and
most sacred Of ties, and whose ulti-
mate recovery is considered by her
physician as exceedingly doubtful.
If Mr. Brown, with his Press can
advance the interests of the Democrat
ic party of Oregon, he has our per-
mission to do so;-there is room
enough for US both. What we want
is TO be let alone.

cause it was u violation of some oi
the fundamental principles Of Inter.
national Law. A few years subsc.
quently, under the administration OF
Polk we believe it was, the japanese
Government threw open their ports to
the United States-not by force, but
in pursuance of treaty entered into
between their Government and ours
our Government thus practically rec
ognizing the doctrine that State or
nation have the right TO exclude for
eigners. This doctrine has also been
repeatedly recognized by several of
the States of the United States; We
refer TO those of them that passed
laws excluding negroes from their
limits. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
each passed laws making it n penal
ofiense for negroes to settle in them;
and we have seen negroes in Illinois
sold to the highest bidder to pay thc
fine incurred by violation of the
"Black Laws" Those States believ-
ed that they, in common with other
States, have the right to exclude for
eigners, and even class born and
raised in the United States.
The true reason why the Oregonion
and the Governor of Oregon favor the
Chinese on this coast is, that they may
be placed upon the same footing-so-
cially, politically and legally-which
the white race now occupy.

bag and instructed him 10 90 one direction
for short distance and sit down and whistle.
while they would go of in the other dirsc
