THE RADICAL AUXILIARY.

The following extract from Portland
correspondent to the Democratic Press
shows the estimate in which the new
Radical auxiliary ia being held by the
Multnomah Democracy:
1t bchoovcs the Democratic party in
Multnomah county TO use great caution
in oil matters pertaining TO the coming
canvass. The principal cause of alarm
may be noticed as disorganizcrs, who per.
sonally occupy place within the party's
lines. Democrats do feel alarmed at the
course being pursued by tho Eecning
Commercial newspaper, Of which Jas.
O'Mcara is tho editor and manager for
the proprietors, supposed to be John G.
Ainsworth, 8. G.. Reed and G. NJ. Carter.
Every leading article published in the
Commerci0i since NJ. L. Bull withdrew
from it has had tendency to disorganize
tho democratic party, 20 at least it Is
viewed here. IF this result was no,
sought for by the editor Of that paper,
why is that the greatly Oregonian news.
paper approves all that the former says
Of politics And why docs it pat the
Commercial editor on the back aud en-
courage hin, to repeat his attacks and
teachings. The answer is simple, it de
sircs to give notoriety 10 the enemy and
a wise the Oregon ,o'ers of The we *
ness within the lines Of the Democratic
party in Mrltnomah county, thus encour.
aging tho Radicals and discourasing the
Democrats. But such results need be
looked for. The Democrats are turning
the cold shoulder to the disorganizer and
will not encourage the circulation of an
incendiary newspaper among the members
of the party. II may be said that the
Commercial is an independent newspaper
and has reserved the right TO do as il
plcases. 1t is granted, but the editor can
not claimfcllowship wish Democrats, on
Democratic ground, when his only effort,
are TO disorganize the Democratic party
To conclude, it is surmiscd that as Mr.. O.
Meara thinks the Democratic party dc
featcd him for the Office of State Printer
in 1866, he will defeat the Democratic
party in 1870. olore anon. T.

SIMPLICITY IS BEAUTY.-Thc late
Fitz Greene Hallcck said: "a letter fell
into my hands which Scotch servant girl
had written to her lover. It's style char
med mo. 1t was fairly inimitablc. |
wondered how, in her circumstances in
life, she could have acquired SO elegant o
style. / showed the letter to some of my
literary friends in the city of New York
and they unanimously agreed that it was
model of beauty and clegancy, then
determined to solve the mystery, aud |
went to the house where she was en-
ployed, and asked how it was that, in her
humble circumstances in life, she had
acquired style SO beautiful that the
most cultivated minds could not but ad-
mire it. Sir said shc,' i came to this
country four years ago. Then | could
not read or write. But since then l
have learned to read and write, but |
have not learned to spell; so always when
I sit down to write letter, / select those
words which arc so short and simple that
I am suro to know how to spell them.
There was tho whole secret The reply
of that simple-minded Scotch girl con.
denscd world of rhetoric into nut
shell. Simplicity is beauty. Simplicity
is power.

duced here. When the price in Eng
land was in 1S64-5--not, rs the cram
med legislator states, $3.50 including
freight, but f24 sterling-the price
was in New York and Philadelphia
S160 gold, or $40 gold more gross than
the English cost. At the present mo-
ment the price, according to Mr.. Kel-
ley, is ell, or S55, in England; and
the price here 800 gold, or S45 gold
more gross than the English cost.
Whore, then, is the saving? In either
case have the American railway COM
panies to pay $40 gold more in 1864,
and S45 gold more in 1870, than the
English for the steel rails; and to
make this matter perfectly clear, that
it really is so, give Mr.. S. NJ. Fel-
tons prices which he presents in the
petition.
Tho prices have declined from Si00 In currency
tSi60 in gnii) in 1861, to less than $i2O in cur
reney $500 in god) in 1869.
If the above figures are correct, and
/ certainly demand the stIictest inves-
tigation, do they not prove conclusive
ly that the duty does enhance the
homemade article; and turn it or twist
it whichever way Mr.. Kelley will,
he cannot alter it and / am afraid he
has made his fallacy the more glaring
by trying to illustrate it with the Bes-
semer steel rail.

In a very short time the people of Del
aware will be in the midst of an import
ant political campaign. Both parties
have candidates in the field, and the
struggle will be fierce. The election is
one of great importance, involving State
and National issues. Every effort will
be but forth by our opponents; and they
must be met with equal vigor and de-
termination. The question as to which
party shall hereafter have the rule and
control of our State, is to be answered.
1t is therefore time for the Democrats Of
Delaware to be up and doing. The unan-
unity and harmony which existed in the
Convention that nominated candidates
for Governor and Representative, and
the general satisfaction with which the
nominations have been received through
out the State, is indicative of the deter
mination of the Democracy to work to-
gethcr manfully for the success Of their
ticket. We are convinced that Delaware
will do her duty at the approaching cleo
ton. No petty jealousies and chickering's
exist in our ranks, and q arm, united
front will be presented to the enemy
The Government of the State must be
kept in the hands of white men, and we
must do our part towards swelling the
L4z=-4sss " Ae e5osssy Congress- Let us, then,
enter the contest hopefully, and success
will be rendered certain, and tho power
of the White Mans Party in Delaware
maintained and perpetusted.

A "ScENE" IN A COURT RooM.-The
Newport (Vt.) Express says the climax
of indecency was reached in
court of justice in that village last
Monday. After the endearing epithets
of liar, &C., had freely passed between
the opposing counsel, one Of them-a
man quite noted for his size and bully
ing propensities--in the course of his arr
gument seized the complied statue, and
with more force than discretion, piled
the law in its purity upon the defence
less and son ewhat bald head of his OPP
posing brother. A scene of confusion
ensued, coats came off, knives were
drawn and blood or something else
might have flown freely had not by
ISLANDERS interfered. Order was finally
restored, and the Justice at once impos-
ed a fine of So upon the offender, wheth-
or for contempt of Court or assault was
not made plain.
