93 except in a very few instances, and not making myself known, I had many opportunities of learning what were the general sentiments in regard to the War and Slavery. I believe the mass of the people would deprecate both, if those who stood as their moral guides were more positive and truthful ; but because they are so truckling and time serving, a few active speculators control the people, and incite war, or spread slavery at pleasure. In Oregon City, I called on the Editor of the Oregonian, ...and having been told that he was, or had been, a minister, I hoped that by presenting the moral aspect of the war, he would at least modify his course. But he spoke as if moral principles were altogether a secondary consideration, and had nothing to do with Congress and with Politics. I left him to nurse and cherish his bitterness against Indians and the Catholics. I also called on Mr. Adams of the Argus. After giving him the facts of the Eogue Eiver war, he acknowledged that he had been misinformed, that he had thought the Indians had really commenced it.
