How They Feel in Oregon.

The following extract from aprivate
letter to G. A Rohrabacher from
Portland, Oregon, Of date of Nov. H.,
speaks for itself:
1T is over. We are defeated. After
a hard fought battle for the people.
we find that they have not sustained
the only opportunity they have had to
extricate themselves for SO years. The
literature that you sen me was ex-
celent and l made the best possible
use Of it. But Oregon made a monkey
of herself, and the only satisfaction
we have left is that we did the best we
could. 1 am afraid. my dear friend,
hat influences have grown up ID our
Republic which are to prove fatal to
our National lie. The only thing
can see for US in the future is to float
along with the tide and trust to a
kind Providence to take care of us
The peoples >oice is stifed, popular
government is rapidly fading out
What is in store for US in the future
only time will tell.
Yours sincerely.
