GEN. GRANT AND THE GRANT FAMILY
''rhrrr i, III, Iu,ibt that there is very wide
spread feeling Of disaffcction with the Admin
istration among Republicans. My judgment
is. that General Grant has made too many enc
mics to rln--that he is not the candidate that
can be- elected. Therefore. it is necessary to
have another candidate. and am quite ready
to consider. who that candidate should be.
Time must determine that question. If we
do not make new departure. the Democrats
are very like to do it.
The Republican party has been split up so
III Tcxasa, Louisian, Alabama, and other sec
tons, by mMiSe management, that we are very
likely to be beaten. notwithstanding our large
Republican majority. unless We take new
candidate. Too many persons think there is
no chance Tor thenl-that everything has been
parccllcd ont, and divided up among certain
set. The fact is, there is general feeling that
the Grant family is too large! ~. y

All these nigh, have been saved and
greatly enhanced, to the benefit of the
Company, and the incalculablc advantage
of the country, had the route, connections,
and terminus Of the road been determined
year ago, and the longer it is delayed
the worse it will be for all concerned.
We have laborcd long and earnestly,
without fec or reward, for the success Of
thir great enterprise, and these remarks
are actua:ed by no unfricndly or fault
finding spirit, but 10y the conviction that
the managers ofthc Company, living upon
the other side of the continent. are making
n great mistake in the policy they are pur-
suing at this end of the route.

"PoLITICs MAKES STRANGE BEDFEL-
Lows."-This adage is verified in the nu.
merous partnerships formed by the Pub.
lie Printer since his appointment to that
position. Within the past fortnight he
has taken to his confidence and support
Prosch of the Tribune and Neph of the
Echo. Naturalists have observed that the
venomous rattlesnake sometimes strikes up
copartnership with owls and prairie dogs,
but have stated no instance wherein cop
perhead has assumed domiciliary privile.
ges with like "innocent" animals. We
search in vain for another such instance of
disinterestedness and affection.

DIRECT FROM SCoTLAND.-A valuable
accession to our population is noted in the
arrival of Mr.. William Chalmers, a gentle.
man of whom we have before spoken,
about the time he purchased the famous
Cornelius farm in Washington county last
summer. Mr.. Chalmers, accompanied by
other families, numbering thirty.six per.
sons, reached Portland on Monday eve
ming, direct from Scotland. They were
six weeks on the way and had a pleasant
voyage, with the exception of one day on
the Pacific. They left the city about noon
yesterday for their future homes in Wash.
ington county. four teams conveying them
thither. They are all hearty persons,
just the kind wanted in Oregon, and their
arrival here safely is matter of import
ance to the State.-Porland Bulletin.

The HAPPY FAMILY.-Now that Mac
and Neph have, as the former would ex-
press it, buried the hatchet," it will be
interesting to review those little episodes
in the lives of the gentlemen while part
ners few years ago. The blackballing
of one of the "high contracting powers"
the former partnership, SO full Of promise
and so barren in results. and the brilliant
strategic skill manifested by the printer of
title-pages, all acquire new interest in
the present situation.

Of Gov. Solomon, Judge Greene, Col. Lar.

Major Hayden, went up the Deschutes
river about ten miles, on Thursday last
on fishing excursion, and their sue
cess in taking trout exceeded their most
sanguine expectations. We do not care to
state the number reported, lest our state.
ment should be questioned, and the We.
racity of the paper impugned. Larrabee
caught the largest fish and Louthan the
greatest number.

ant Of your distaste for that class of advcr.

THE PARTY LAsH.-The honest Re-
publicans of Philadelphia, who have grown
tired Of following corrupt leaders. and
have protested within the party already
too long without hope of reform, have de-
termined, as a last resort, and as the only
means left to redress their wrongs, to re-
fuse their support to some of the candi-
dates recently nominated for city officers.
Four influential Republican journals, the
North american, the Telegraph the Bul.
Ietin and the Inquirer, lead in this move
ment, and openly advise their readers to
vote for the Democratic candidatcs.-N

of the express business on the Sound has

attend to the receipt and delivery of pack
ages at every point on the Sound, also to

Negative Support.

An old fashioned Democrat from the
East recently remarked to us, that when
his attention was first called to the Val
landigham platform, miss called the New
Departure" he was bitterly opposed to it.
But upon reading the comments of the
leading Radical papers upon it, all showing
how deeply they were wounded, and how
kcenly they smarted under it, his opinion
gradually changed. The New York Tti-
bune was the first to comprehend the stu
alton, aud give the key note of alarm in
the exclamation: "This means dangcrw
Every Radical paper in the land has had
its fling and sncer at the "Ncw Depar-
ture," each betraying an intense degree of
alarm while affecting to ridicule and pre-
tending to regard it as an endorsement of
Radical policy, at the same time giving all
their aid and sympathy to those Democrats
who refuse to accept it.
1t may be observed as an invariable
rule, that our political opponents, who are
cunning in device and INSCRIPTIONS in
design, invariably take part in all differ
ences arising in the Democratic party, on
that side which will best serve their own
purposes. In our own experience, in all
the controversies which we have ever had
with members of our own party, upon
questions Of principle or policy, in every
instance we have had the other party unan-
imously siding against US. There is no
better test than this upon which to deter.
mine differences arising in the Democratic
party; the policy whicht he Radicals wish
us to adopt, is precisely that which we
should avoid if we would succeed. That
the entire Radical press is doing its best
to aid and encourage those Democrats who
oppose the policy of dropping dead issues
out of the canvass, is proof conclusive that
they fear nothing more than a contest up,
on the live issues of the day That is a
most injudicious leader of armies who in
sists upon accepting the ground selected
by the enemy, and he is worse soldier
who scorns all discipline.
