Now, Mr. Chairman, I wish to say a few
word In regard to tint pending amendment

from Pennsylvania Mr. Duwaon. My people
aro more than any other alTcctcd by the change
in tha standard of value, and yet they have
nark no complaint. Very many of them are
ohaerfolly serving in the armies of the United
States and receiving as nay what It equivalent
to not more than (uvea dollar a mouth, and at
plows where it requires nearly teveti dollars a
day to live. Notwithstanding that such is the
case, and that gold ia the standard of value
' recognized ia that country, I have nut received
a petition from a single soldier asking that
they should he paid in gold, and not in green
backs. ;y :- i ;r; ',;i-. ..,)
. Now, I put it to the gentleman front Penn

with him that when those men aro willing hi

,.. ,, eilKBKUCY AKI, TAIK8.
For the past twelve menths, the peoplo ant
press of this State have been mora or les ex
ercised about the questions growing out of the
advent among us of the new national currency,
legal tender not a. , Prominent among these
was the one, how far this currency could, or
ooght to, be osed in the State finances, in the
payraont of taxes, salarios and other publio
debts. ' Bntof tbe ootflioting opinions, prrjn
dice, interests aud purposes on this subject,
actual controversies have naturally arisen, and
the courts have been culled npou to dociilu
them, not by the rale of what ought to he the
publio policy of the Slate, but what it has been.
The Legislature ttiakee law, and the Courts
administer it. . Uufortuuulelf , our legislation
upon this suhjeot being itutorinr, in point of
time, to the Introduction of legal tender notes,'
wait framed without reference to them, and up
the fuct rallier ituplied and underetiiod, tlmn
asserted, of a metullio currency. The House
of Representative nf the lust Asseinhly, fully
appreciating the uwlcss tnuiblo aud controver
sy likely to arise In the future from tlx) want of
a well tlofiited and pluiu into spun the suhjeot,
passed an Act prescribing the kind of money
ia ltlh taxes might bo paid. It went to the
Senfttv, lute iu the session, hut, unfortunately,
I but grave, body, iustead of giving the suhjeot
the oonsidcratinn it dem-ryed, were induced, bv
n little, ill-timed ritboute, to summarily vote the
measttro down.
In this state of things, Ilia Judges have Cnn
sUHed and applied the legislation to the ques
tion as best they onuid, holding generally that
taxcn were tint payable 'iu legal tender "notos.
partly npou the language of the Statutes, and
mora probably upon the fuot that the notes
coming Into nristenoe after the Stntutes were
enacteal, wove not witliUi tlio f urpttso or cou
te'mplativD of the law, , .
At tliM eosoluskina, f course, there has
bee prtMibttng and dissotrt some from loyal
and ardent patriots to whom any decision
would tic unpalatable, tlio effect of which was
to diminish th power and prestige of the Na
tional Government, by cringing it into disrepute
nmong the people some from parties who, in
different as to tbe result, diaatntUtd from lite
reasutiiuf of tha Courts and wine, nay, a
gawd deal, from times) who, oaring little for the
fens, and k-as for the patriotism of the Courts,
UtoagU that out of oueor the other, or bulk,,
tl)ese MpeoU of the qaeatwo, they might draw
vary aflectivs thunder for the next election.
I this spirit, they caricatured the effect of the
declslous by laying, "Lejal teuders will pay
any debt but Judges' salaries." This saying,
worthy even of Pasqain himself, was about the
ataaitest and touri effectiro wcupon ia their
vwtj-i o'ii t'i'i 'i
, Buf the truth is, aud honest, sensiblu people .of
whom there aro sooie left in Oregon, are bt gin
uing ns see it, the question is not n judicial
,on, but Itgitlalut. . It l he laws upon any
snbjeot are inadequate, uncertain, or oou diet
ing, It k Bot th fault of th Cnnrte, nor
can Mcy remedy it. Let the fault be where
it Way, the rsawt'" Ilea with the people, and,
atil they apply it, they ought uot to quarrel with
Ue CoorU, aor impute unworthy orotive to
the Jadgeav because thry may dissent from
tlMta, ia ttKte whero the people, or their rep
reeeutativef bare failed to prescribe a certain
role for their Judgment, .
So tuoch by way of a right understanding of
l he past, ao as not to sllow it to ooufuse or
prejadloe our minds iu tlctsvrmiiiiiig our duty in '
the future. The tittio for the sitting of an
other Legislative Assembly is near nt hand,
and by the process nf noini.iRlloits and elec
tions Ihe ineiiiliers of it are being selected from
among Ihu people. Now is the time to reason
together and make up the public opinion, or
will, that shall control the action of the Assem
bly upon this question. From oumistakablo evi-
donocs of the publio Interest in the matter, we
aro warranted in assuming that the question
cannot be blinked or laughed down Iu the next
Assembly. It will he made, and must be do
oided, either for or against the National cur
rency, In this connection, we assume that the
rule will bo maintained ns already decided by
our Courts, that the State can presorilio how
and in what, tuxes assessed mid levied by her
authority, oan bo contributed or paid. It is
a judicial question, and in the decision of
it already made, we acquiesce. ; indeed we do
not question its soundness.
Having this power to prescribe what shall he
received in payment of taxes, there remains to
consider how it is best to exenvse it. Shall
this power be exercised in a spirit of narrow-
minded selfishness, as if the Stute of Oregon
were an isolated community, having neither in
terest nor sympathy with the Nntional Govern
ment in this hour of its great need and sore
trial I Or shall we ns a constituent and vital
part of that government, so wield this power as
to strengthen its hands by enhancing the value
nf its currency, to draw closer the bonds of in
terest and sympathy between u, and, as far as
in us lies, contribute to the, establishment of a
great nation, with one people aud one cur
rency? ' 1 '' t : ' '
In favor of the latter alternative, wo take
our stand, and trust and hope that tlio next
Legislative Assembly will provide that all taxes
payable to the Slate, or levied and collected by
her authority, may be patf in the National
currency, whatever Unit may he. In the short
but eventltil career of tlio Uuitud Stales, so
far. probably no one cause has contributed more
to attain and preserve that isolated, sometimes
hostile, and always unnatural, attitude of the
several States toward one another, and toward
the Federal government, than the want
of a uniform currency, authorised, con
trolled and secured by the latter. If the
people of each Statu spoke a language un
known to the rest, it would nut more
promote that provincial and selfish estriingu
nient of one from the other, than has the fact
of each maintaining, in a great measure, a sep
arate currency, dill'uriDg in security, quantity
and value from all the rest. As States, we nf the
I'uclfio Coast have hitherto Ignored and repu
diated the National currency, by refusing or
omitting to provide for its use in the payment
of publio duos, Practically, considered us
Statu, so far as the currency Is concerned, we
have quietly withdrawn from the Union we love
so well, and set up the golden calf of the Pa
ciBo Republic with a motto worthy of the fact,
"EVBRr ONB KOK HIM8KI.F NO NATIONAL
CURBBNCY TAKEN HKIIR."
Thus, we exclude this currency from a largo
Held of circulation, and thereby help to depre
date it, and suggest doubt and misgiving as to
the stability and solvency of tlio source from
which it emanates; and what do Wo gain 7
Nothing. ' In this depreciated slate, it passes
on compulsion between man and man among
us; for upon tlio citizen tlio law of Congress
making it a legal tender for debts operates,
with or without his consent.
Tint In providing for the payment nf taxes in
the Natiouul ourrency, we must ho just to indi
viduals, as well as true to our ailcgiuiice mid
duty to tbe Oeuvral Government. The sala
ries of our Governor, Judges aud other Slate
officers that aro paid out of these taxes, must
be enhanced iu proportion. With thosu who
clamor fur the paymeut of State taxes iu the
Natiouul currency in the hope that they will
thus be enabled to discharge their obligations
to the State at the expense of those who serve
them in a public capacity, wa have no syma
thy. No; we havu u higher and more disin
terested aim in seeking to bring nbont this
change. Taxes will bo taxes still, and cost us
much to tlio payor as before, but thereby we
will have brought the State of Oregon into the
line of loyalty to, and harmony with the Nil
lioiml Government, ami furawuy from thai tin
natnrnl attitude of setni-nnlhlleution which slit
now unfortunately occupies.

We find in the issue of the Democrat ot Hie
llllh of April, under this head, a lengihy arti
cle abusing llie Stutmrnaa for the po.-ilum we
took in reference to thee n Jutimia. 1 ho
manner of speaking of what wo said in refer
ence, to the doctrine taught by these resolu
tions, evinces aliku the inability of tlio author
to sustain the position claimed for the demoo
racv In adopting the pernicious principles they
teach and the inherent unsoundness of the
doctrino itself. Thu Democrat says t
That rhey ko to any Inmiilt la declaring tits riiflit of

i....... : 'rl,, l,.,u tvnra I'ftndiuntieo hV Mr.
Wohater, hh l.ltei Stoteimnti imilimvor to imply hy
quoliiiK Wobslor Is outrun. That they went eon
(Iciniied by Coiinre, I he l'rcsitloiit, and the pti)lo,
us tha Htiuie tinner also alhiitos, is untrue.
It is ouly unocessary to refer brielly to the
resolutions themselves, and the history nf the
times of their adoption and sinoe, to refute the
assertion of tlio Democrat and to substantiate
our own. The construction placed upou these
resolutions hy the Democrat is another and dif
ferent construction thun tlio ono claimed for
them by those to accomplish whose purpose
titer were or'nrinallv conceived. That the
a r
State is parniuouiit to the geiierul government
in deciding not only upon the constitutionality
of its own law, but also the laws of the federal
government, aud that in this matter tlio States
are sovereign, from whose decision there is no
appeal, we assert they maintain, und they do
not stop by simply declaring their right to de
cide upon the constitutio'nality of the laws of
the federal government, but they omphatioally
declare their right to adopt tlio "mode and
measure of redress" for the "inlractions" fan
cied or real, which they may decide to have
been made hy the federal government under
these laws within the limits of the State.1
From whence, then, shall we derive the nee
cssary information as to the correct manner of
construing theso resolutions and properly as
certain their moaning. Did the Legislatures
of the States that passed them understand
their meaning and the meaning they intended
to convey by them I Did not Mr. Jefferson
and Mr. Madison nnderstand their meaning J
Did not the States to whom tlicy were sub
initted and by all of whom they wcro rejected
understand them I Is the history of the events
which called them forth, together with the po
iticttl measures sinoe founded upon them, to
he taken in any way as explanatory of their
truu but well-coiioenled meaning 1 If so, then
we will endeavor to obtain a correct under
standing as to their real intent, but if we are
to depend upon the false and baseless asser
tions of every political trickster who seeks shel
ter nnder them, lor a definition, we will be left
In uncertainly indeed, as are those who are
clinging blindly to tho democracy from old prtj
ndice for the name, or wilfully from present
purpose of gain, without having a hope that they
can realize, a principle which they can dcf.'nd,
or a position they onn explain, , Let us refer to
theso resolutions, and see what their purport is,
They say :
That in rase of n tleliherule, pnlpnble anH d'tturerons

Such is the language of the Virginia resolu

of thu right of resistance to federal authority,
let os see what tho Kentucky Legislature said
in 171)9, when, after their position bad been
condemned hy nearly all the other Stales, they
ru-iiilirined the odious doctrine they hud pre
viously expressed i
That the principle and construciinii contended for
by everi lot the State l'gisliiinr-'j, that the general
government is the exclusive jude ol the extent nf the
powers dub-u-nled to it. stup nothing short t f dcepo
listn i since the discretion of those who administer the
Hoveriitnviit, and not the foiistituliou, would be the
iiieneure of their powers. That the several btates
which found Ihut Instrument, heitltr anvercitftt uud in
dependent, have tbe unquestionable right to judge of
ila itifmctioiia; mid that a auHfu-firiON. by those sov
ereignties, of all imuullioriiud art done muter the
color of that itislruiiieiil, is the rightful reuiedy.
Is there not heru asserted the right to nullify
all nuls of Ihu general guverniueut which a
Statu may deem unconstitutional 1 Does nul
lification put iu prnutiA require force 1 The
South Carolina nullification gives a practical
illustration of the cflVct of this "righ'ful reme
dy" put into practice. Dues it carry with it
the right to iiso force tu resist federal authori
ty 1 That they wero condemned by the Pres
ident, by Cougrt'ss,and the people, it is but nec
essary to refer to Jackson's famous proclamation
madu against nullification iu 1 9,'ti. wherein he
discusses Ihe priuuiplu itivolted in these reao
liitions. lie denounces this dootriuu as treason
able, and shows how utterly without foundation
is the whole fabric. Was not the President
sustained hy Cotigrtss and the report of thu
Judiciary Committee, uf whom nt that time
Daniel Wvhslcr was chairman 1 Has not
President Jackson endeared himself to the
American peoplo by his vigorous denuuoiatinn
uf those who went to the extreme warranted
by this nbomiiinblu doutriue in South Carolina,
and by his plain and reliable exposition of the
fallacy upon which they acted t Here is what

The democratic leaders wltn were preparing

it was to make thu attempted secession an oo
ooniplishcil fnut. In both instances, they pro
sumed upon tho credulity of an ignorant ouu
stiluenoy who knew nut I lie force or effect Of
Ihe measures to which. they were giving assont.
The argument of "Taylor of Carolina" is cited
in proof of thu position , of the Democrat.
(Query Is ho not the identioal Taylor who, a
short time previous, wa eu clamorous in favor
of a Union between the State of Virginia aud
North Carolina, aud a secessiot) of those two
States?) ' ,
Now, let us consider the positions which the
democracy aro bound to adopt to stand perma
nently upon their platform. They oluiiu for
the States the right to nullify and declare of
no force within the traits of the States,
laws of the United Status, which they deem
unconstitutional. That the States alone have
the power to decide as to the constitutionality
of the laws of the Unl'cu States. That the
general government was tho result of a com
pact between the Status as States, and uot tho
not of the people of tho United States as de
clared in the constitution, That, after having
declared a law of the United States unconsti
tutional, they may declare the " modo and
measure of redress" perform au Oct which
Mr. Madison thought to be "extra constitution-7
al."
In reviewing this matter ono cannot
evade tho conviction that thu demuorooy are
assuming the position of and ro-enacting the do
ings of the notorious Harlford convention of
1814, upou which the democracy have vented in
unmeasured terms their just disapprobation.
It is safe to predict that those political heresies
havo run their course ; they have accomplished
the purpose fur which they were created ; they
served their authors with a convenient hobby
upon which to ride into power; they were first
passed iii 1798 hy malcontents anil disappoint
ed nffioe-seekers revived in 1829 by defeated
politicians, who saw the power ami patronage
of the government passing out of their control;
they wero for a time snhdned by the powerful
and vigorous oction of President Jackson.
In 18,jG, they were again revived aud brought
to light by demagogues, who were appalled at
their waning power; and quoted by Jeff Da
vis ami others of that ilk in 1800 in dufenou of
their attempted secession. Their doctrine bos
always been tho .resort of defeated and des
pairing politicians. They aro now to ho pass
ed upon by the loyal voters of Oregon with the
same success that has always attended this
pernicious dootrino, where tho peoplo informed
have judged for themselves. '

Tbo Congressional oaitdidutes met In Salem
on the i)d inst. according to appointment, and
presented their olaiiui to the voters of, Marion
oouulr. Moores Hull was crowded at the hour
appointed, and many were unable to get iu.
Mr. Henderson made the opening speech,
whioh fully satisfied and pleased his numerous
friends, aud greatly disappointed numbers of
the seceeh gentry who had been very busy cir
culating reports that lie would be nothing iu the
hands uf Col. Kelly. Ho showed hy sound ar
gument that thu Southern leaders had always
been the foremost and most violent agitators of
the slavery question ; that the present rebellion
is the result of their own mad schemes, and uot
of Northern agression ; demolished tbo absurd
idea uf the constitutional right of seoessinn,
aud by apt illustrations and a free use of wit
aud sarcasm showed the ridiculous position of
tho Northern Cuppcihead party.
It is evideut from the bold and honest man
ner in which he states his position that he is a
man ul stern principle, aiid will uot pander tn
the prejudices uf any uur waver in an honest
ileclaratiou of his seuiiments for the sake of so-
curing the support uf the weak-kneed.
Col. Kelly fol low d in a speech of two hours
and a quarter, in which he raked up tlio defunct
issues nf 1SGU, defended in a very lame and
unsatisfactory manner tho Kentucky resolu
tions, laid nil the blame of the war on the
shoulders of the Northern people, mourned
over tho defeat of the Critteudeu compromise.
aud reminded bis followers Ihut they, their
children and their children's children" would
have to pay the expenses of this Aholitiuu war.
Mr. Henderson, then concluded in a speech
ol a few jiiiniites, iu a Inch he made so many
good puiuts nn the Colonel that the house abso
lutely shook with laughter and applause.
With the exception nf one or two oonrse ex
pressions whioh the heat of debute induced Col.
K. to maku, and which wo have no doubt his
gentlemanly instiuete would induce him to dis
approve, tho disuussiuu was conducted iu a can
did, temperate li.auner was indeed a great
improvement upon the misrepresentation and
abuse which are too often the capital stock of
candidate on the slump.
Col. Kelly evidently felt, however, that be
was doing an uphill business. He would be
more at home pleading a petty law-suit than in
discussing the great national Issues of the day.
It is true as has been said, that "lie is a man
of portly dimensions and commanding appear
site." but he makes, nevertheless, a sorry
figure on the stump, and would certainly maku
a much sorrier on us the representative iu
Congress uf a loyal Slate. :
