n Few REASONS WHY REPUBLICANS
SHOULD NOT SUPPORT Mr.. GARFIELDE.-
LIST, Garficlde refused to sign the call in
1861, for the great Union meeting that
assembled in the Capitol at Olympia. 3D.
While he was made one of the Vice Presi-
dents of said meeting, he failed to either
attend or encourage the same. Sd, In
1861 he accepted the nomination Of the
Democratic party, and ignored Mr.. Lincoln
and his coersive measures. 18th, lie
sought refuge for himself in Cariboo, and
there talked treason, instead of giving aid
to Union men at homo. 9th, lie coalcsccd
with and sustained the johnson party in
the opposition to Congress, and went far
beyond the most ultra in this movement
in urging Mr.. Johnson's denomination, on
the ground that he was entitled to the
same for his patriotism, honesty and con-
scrvatism. 9th, In 1865, ut the time the
Hon. \. A. Denny was nominated, Gar.
fieldc sought for a nomination at the hands
of the Claquato Convention, when no at
the same time refusing to give in his adj
hesion to Republican principles.

O3EGoN CIrY.-DurinY recent visit
to the future Lowell of Oregon. We were
agrccably surprised to observe the solid
and substantial improvements made there
s;nce our last visit, some six years ago.
The Woolcn factory, the paper mill, the
new basin and warehouse OF the Peoples
Transportation Co., and several grist mills
have been constructed since then. The
iron works at Oswcgo are of still more recent
note and are developing a resource that was
then scarcely known to exist. The grade
of the Orc.ou Central Railroad at the foot
OF the bluffs Of Oregon City, indicates
still more strongly the rapid progress to
power aud wealth. We cannot but believe
that there is a bright future in store for
this city, and it cannot find a better expo
nent than the Enterprise, under the man
accmcnt of u. &. Ireland, Esq, from
whom We received the conrtosits and civili-
ties pertaining to the craft. Capt. J.p.

cmplify the Old saying, Too many cooks
spoil the broth:
"Thosc rebel constitutions couldb be destroyed

and new constitutions should be formed before

present instance. of knocking his own heal
off That talismatic word is REBEL and We
are now told, by way Of explanation. that
the constitutions which Mr.. Garhcldc says
the States can destroy arc ADMINISTRATIONS.
The original power Of the States to frame
their own constitutions has mover we be-
licvc been questioned in this country. 1t
is assumed as a basis upon which there can
be no controversy. But this new basis of
the explanation does not seem so clear.
that is THE POWER OF AMERICAN STATES
TO FRAME REBEL CONSTITUTIONS. Wat
son may believe in this but candidly we do
not. We have always held that those
rebel constitutions were destroyed By
Federal bayoncts. in the hands Of such men
as Gov. Moore.
If our ighbor takes this awkward way
of conveying the idea only that those States
could not destroy the 'oyal constitutions
with which they came into the Union, we
will shake hands with him on that, as we
did with President johnson, and then we
would ask him to further explain what has
become Of those loyoi constitutions which
we arc agreed those States could not de
stroy. by what process they have become
reduced to the condition Of Territories, and
wherein lies the necessity that new consti-
tu'ons should be formed before they can
be rc-admittcl or restored?

CoLD.-For the past week the weather
in this Valley has been cold, and in
places ice has formed half an inch thick.
For some reason, the knowing ones are
prophecying a cold winter, but our
opinion is that these wise ones know
nothing aboutit. Up in this high north
e.n latitude, we are always liable to have
bard winters, and this Notwithstanding
mild winters are the rule. The best way
= is to have plenty of feed for the cattle,

Ghard winter comes those who are thus
provided will not suffer.
