The Oligarchy.
How well we liavo hit It in culling tlio
Democralio rebels of CottoiiJom un Oil
ciAHCiir, is shown by it correspondent of
the Ixiulsvillo Journal, who ling just rc.
turned from France. Ho states that on
the 21st of January Inst, a letter was re
ceived it tho court of Trance, tinted Kiclt
inond, Va., Nov. 2, 16C2, and figncd ly
13 of the leading rebels, including Jell.
Davis end bib Cabinet, Toombj nnd Wise,
with ninny other leading rebel, n&king
JTnpolcon to recognize tho Confederacy, as
they Intended os loon ns the war was over
to establish ft nobility embracing the slave
holders.. They stated that proof of their
Ability to institute (mil nn order in the
Confederacy, was found in tho fact that
they had been able to carry tho rebel
States out of the Union, though a majori
ty of tho people in nil those States were
nclually opposed to secession at the time
tho States seceded, in most of which the
people were not even allowed to vote on
tho question beforo ihitir Lrgisiiituraw Jinn
rled them out of the Union.
The letter stated that it was tho inten
tion of the leaders to keep tho matter se
cret till the war was over, when a nobility
would bo established, causing tho poor
whites generally to emigrate north, leav
ing the slave-owning nobles .iih a peas
antry held as property, nnd a plain colored
lino of demarkation, between the serf And
,ll,liif anif lliA Irronrotiaililn i-milliel. u-ill
go on just as long as the power of Hell
persikts in driving humanity, liberty, and
decency, oil' of this continent. You and
your kind have brought on this conflict,
by trying to enthrgne tho Devil, as King
over nil, Satan blessed forever; Yon say
that wo could easily stop tho war by
turning heathen and submitting to tho
rule of Satan, lint wo iron 7 have your
IK'tnocrat'e Devil to rulo over us. If
you want him for King, emigrate! go to
Central America, Africa, anywhere where
tho genius of iu man liiikrtv ha never
sanctified the soil by her tread. If you
want to go, io and do not stand upon
tho order of your going. Secede, and bo
gone, every dog of you, but you shall
never set up your heathenish dv nasty on
soil hallowed by the blood of our revolu
tionary heroes as long as their descend
ants live to defend the graves that contain
their bones.
Sacking.
Since Ute gallant soldiers hare been
holding meetings on the battle fields and
declaring their intentions to hang the Cop
perheads on tho nearest trees opon their
return home, the Democrats in tho North
aro becoming quite tame, so much so that
many of thorn voted i)io Union ticket, in
I the info Ohio and New Hampshire elec
tions. Many of the Copperhead papers
have sHken approvingly of tho " Union
League." Hut they all lie about the
character of the League, and try to make
their dupes believe that it is a great "con
servative" movement. Hie Secesh Squirt
in this city came very near saying that it
originated among tho democracy of the
Tho Union XiOPguo.
Tho following is the pledge which is be
ing extensively signed Ly Union men in
tie Kastcrn States :
We. tl ituil?riirncl, ritiicn of Uio I'nitcit

Tho pledge, it will bo noticed, binds all
who sign it to an " unconditional loyalty
to the government, to an unwavering sup
port of its efforts to suppress the rebel
lion," and requires of thorn " tpare no en
deavor to maintain unimpaired tho notion
al unity." Any man with good sense can
seo that no copperhead could make onth
to bis willingness to carry out that pledge
without committing perjury, lett-noof
tho copperhead sheets hero which lias
again come before the public with a thin
coat of Union whitewash on, says they
will says, in fact, they have signed it,
and rather intimates that, for a trille less
than " eight hundred dollars," it would
like to be "a organ" for tho Union League
itself. It says tho New York HorW, a
leading orgwn of th Five Volnt democra
cy, wiggle its tail approvingly at the
Union League movement, and barks at the
door for .ticket of admission for the whole
Pointer litter.
Thereupon, the ''hand organ" here, anx
ious for another coat of whitewash, wig
gles its tail, and shows a disposition to fol
low on tho track of Sammedary, which it
thinks it has scented going into a "Union
League," to escape following that other
I'..:.., r. ....... ....... :.. . n y a.- 11 ... i
Fivo Points. It said that the "abolition-, "T ""ai.a.guam,
h n.ibnh-tha. fin-st .,d host nnhilitr in ists" f-rue Union men it meant, were, u" u,c" ""' vr.m
Uio world. They ttdd Napoleon that it
was bit interest to encourage such a gov
orntucnt on tliis continent and hilp crush
out droocrocy, and hopeO for theso rca
0D3 that ho would lose no time in recog
nizing tho Confederacy.
Tho Copperhead organs w ill generally
pretend to disbelieve this, and now and
then a man io tho rank and file, wyi say,
"I don't bolicvs that tho Southern people
wish for a nobility, and I don't believe
that Northern Democrats could bo in
duced to favor such a gorernment in the
f3outb, acd monarchy in the North.''
Y'oa don't lelittt it ! No ! of course,
you don't ! You don't lelieve that Rose
crans told tho truth, w hen he said a North
ern Copperhead was only fit to be a South
erner's nigger, do you T You did not be
Here three years and more ago, that the
Southern controlling wit g of the Demo
cratic jiarty, intended to destroy the Gov
ernment f and that they broke up tho
Charleston Convention on purpose to do
feat both Democratic candidates, and se
cure tlio election of Lincoln, in order to
Whko head for their diabolical scheme.
You didn't believe it then, did you ? You
didn't Mitv$ that Breekitiridg", Johnson i nine or ten hundi 1 millions of coin, and
iiudJo Lane, for one of which you prob- then call "loci" all our ministers
throwing cold water on it, and that such
fellows as were "anxiout to hate the con
duet of the tear brought bickn to a poiut
where all such fellows as he could approve
of it, were joining the league. That is,
McCIellan must bo "brought kick" to
command; the niggers who hare run
away, must be " brought tart " to raising
corn f r JcnVs army, tho contrabands that
have been armed and drilled by Duller
and Hunter must bo seut "back" to bo
conscripted into tho rebel army, to help
JetE dig entrenchments, and shoot our
Northern soldiers ; the l'residcnt, instead
of consulting with men of brain, and un
doubted loyalty, such as Dickinson, Owen,
Johnson, Duller, Holt, &c, must go
" bark " to the Dorder State policy sug
gested two years ago by " neutral Ken
tucky." Vallandigham must be ''brought
back from the rebel camp to encourage
robellion among the Copperhead Democ
racy of tho North. All this must be
done, and then the President must adopt
the advice already given him by these
brainless squirts, and go " back to tpecit
payments" declare tho Government cur-
in tho lines of the other niggers, under
iJetr. The hand organ says, "Leagues
I have been formed in other localities, em
bracing men of all parties, who are anx
ious to see the conduct of the war brought
back to such a course as can unite all loy
al mcu everywhere." By "loyal meo
everywhere" is meant such as Seymour,
Sammedary, O'Meara and the editor of
that sheet, and by tho war being " brought
AW,"jt means that McCIellan shall be
placed in command, to pursuo the rebels
at the rate of three miles a day, to catch
and return to their masters runaway slaves
along the route, and to prolong the war by
avoiding decisive battles, by keeping s'aves
raising corn for tho rebel army, and by
snch other democratic juggling and decep
tion as would prolong war till speculators,
contractors and thieves, under a Union
cloak, should get rich, tho North worn out
and disgusted with tho war, till it would
be ready to elect a democratic or copper-
Tho Voice of Samuel A. Thurston ou
Uio union.
Out resdsts will recollect what a
tumult wai raised in Congress by tint tiro
eaters of the South over the admission of
California iu ISr.O. The iiegrobreediug
nabobs vere exceeding w roth, and many
were ready to dissolve the Union because
it was proposed to bnit California as a
free State. Oregon was then lepiostitod
by Hon. Swrst K. Tuvrston, her fust
Delegate, a true Union man, and a puUio
sorvant w ha labored harder for her Inter
ests than any man who ha yet appeared
in her behalf on the lloors of Congress.
It will bo recollected what a bitter war
the only Whv paper in the then Territory
opened upon Mr. Thurston in its efforts
to break him down, and put Jo Lane In
his place. It was a war which we were,
as a hig, at tlio time JicideJIy opposed
to, as impolitic, unjust, and fraught with
tho most evil consequences. The death
ol Mr. Thurston gave tho friends of Jolane
an opportunity to elevate this ignoramus,
demagogue, and traitor to a position that
a few short-sighted Whigs had indicated
as ono ho was eminently qualified to fill,
la looking back, and estimating the vast
miwhiof ja-JfTf asf been done by this
stupid dolt, who has pocketed over f 100,.
000 of Governount gold for misrepresent.
ing a civilised people, we ore proud to
ki;ow that wo never gave a vote to the
blosud moss of corruption, and never ad
vised anjbody else to give such a vote.
We think it well, nt this particular period
in our histtry, to remind our readers what
Okkuon said to tho rebels through Hon.
Sami ki 15. Thcrstos on tho lloors of Con
gress, March Soih, ISoO.
"X'r. Chairman, 1 have turned the lat
poin: but one in my argument ; and here
1 wjuld leave the matter, did 1 not believe
it the duty of every man to defmoliis po
sition as to a question which h;s been at
tached to, nnd disei:scd with, this ques
tion. Tlio dissolution of the Union is n
theme to familiar to rcquiro v.r to say
I mean that : but Ai is what I d mean
" Tuo Couaoi vativo Victory."
It will be recollected how the Corvallis
(,'iii'oh, and its echo in this city, itjoiced
over the "triumph ol tho cousin allves,"
as they termed the election t f Neunour,
last full. Our renders will also recollect
that we showed that Seymour's whole ma
jority was lolled up in the 1 ive Toiiits
precincts of New lork I it y, where there
are, as the police books show, . I;t grog
geries, 170 places where thieves nnd ruf
fians constantly resort, 10. "i policy shops,
ami V.'i'O notorious brothels. This Kink
of corruption gave Wadsworth, Union
iiiididate lor Governor, l.GSl votes,
agaiust 10,001 votes for Seymour. Kvery
copperhead organ in this State has refused
to publish these facts and figure, while
all of them chuckled w ith del ght ut tho
"culm rr.i.'iYf v ictory" achieved by Sey
mour, in securing his election by the voles
of drunkard, blacklegs, whoremongers
and thieves of New York City, three
fourth of whom cannot write their own
names, yet all of tlieui are great ('oiislilu

what moves the government has made that
