la ear artiole on "Currency tuul Taxes" in
m iso of Mnjr 9th, we took occnsimi to eny
that the decisions of tire wnrti upon the ques
tion of whether mult the law of the State
taxes could lie paid in li'jjitl touik'r notes, had
been the nocAsien of grumbling and dissent,
from tarimic uenwos influenced by Tery differ

,. In the Review of tlie 14th iuetnut is an arti
ole entitled kIU (jremtliiiclt Question," which
1s devoted to the "Statesman's article on "Cur

brings himself fairly within the description of
persons "who, oaring liltlo for the law, and
less for the patriotism of IIki onrts," hoe
from theh!, decifions jo'draw ery effective

(the onlj purpose of the editor is manifest, from
the gross penrnrstons mm! misrepresentations of
tour language aod ideas. ' We said that the
jn utter of regulating the payment of taxes as
sessed and levied by the authority of the State,
ra question fer. the Legislature and not for
the courts a legislative qnestion and not
'judicial one." Tn ' making this statement we
assumed, as we then ' said, that the power of
the State to prescribe the manner of paying
lajfei levied by her authority, had been decided
(n favor, of (lie 'State, and that In this decision
we nciiuicsoed. 'This we said was a judicial

It would seem impofrltiteto make Ih matter
oleafr by argumact. To anprrjadioed minds,
taviug any kaowUdge of the elcuwulary prio j
ciplcs of a government, divided iuto legislative
anl jinliciul departments, tho mere statement
of the quesiimi vnnld seem to be sufficient.
The laws of this State regulating the payment
of tuxes, Hero passed before tlie introduction of
the national currency, and cuuseqntntly with
out having it in contemplation. In no one in
stance do they directly declare what kind o
money shall bo receivable for taxes, whether
it shall be gold, eilvcr, copper, or paper. In
onu tustanoc thnt is tho payment of the State
revenue proper it is (airly implied that they
must he paid by the tax-pnyer in gold coin, bo-
cause the tax-receiver is required to pay thetn
to tho State Treasurer in gold coin, which would
be impossible and unreasonable, unless he were
so authorized to collect them.
In the new state of things, the law became
uncertain, indefinite, and, us wo said, inade
quate to the plain regulation of tho subject.
That it was ullowed to remain so after tha ex
igency arose, was tho fault, not of the courts,
but of the legislative assembly, which ought to
have enacted a law to regulate the subject
with certainty. Yet, in this state of uncer
tainty, the law had to he udroiuistcred, and
construed by the oourts, wheuerer parties liti
gimt appealed to them. For the time being
tlie question was here a judiciul one, because,
what l lie State law was, what it meant, and
what It intended, in this cusc, its in ull others
of like nature, had to bo determined by the
courts from the best light they had. Under
these circumstances, the courts decided that
tuxes must be paid in coin. Not lliut Ihey
ought or ought not to 'be, or should or should
not he hereufler, but simply that the people by
their representative had so declared lor tlie
time being. Then, while it is true that the
quesliun decided in each of the particular cases
that oauio before the courts, wus as to the par
ticnlar case n judicial cue, it is not coul'usiou
or contradiction of terms to suy, that the ones
liuti of hew or iu what tuxes "should be paid" is
u legislative cue. Because, the subject is in
the power of tho legislature, and whenever
they are satisfied that an existing law should
be changed, they can change it. This power
the courts du not i possess,' and. it wuuld bo per
fectly irrelevant, inoiiiisequentiul, not to say
foolish, to vote 'for uuy candidato for judgo on
account of his oonstmclion of the exiting laws
on tho subject of the payment of Stute taxes
' In the selection of members' of tlie .legisla
tive' atsenihlyi the people can regulate this mat
ter according to their ideas of public duty and
private convenience. , The regulation of the
subject is .committed to them, and, as the law
lauds, they have power over it If they pay
taxes may be , paid in the national currency,
the courts will so adjudge, and if 1'iey say other
wise, then otherwise must it be. Again, "does
the unlearned pundit of tha Review under
tatid"!
'As to tho proper ' policy to be pursued, we
have already expressed our views, mid do not
wish now to repeat them. But we may say,
before, closing, that the collection aud expend i
ture of the public revenue is a means by which
a large amount of money of sume kind is kept
io circulation, and thereby given a general
credit and currency.' "For this reason we want
the State nf Oregon to so regulate this subject,
as to give the uatiouul currency the benefit of
tho operation. As a constituent purt of the
American nation irrevocably humid by its ob
ligations and wedded to its fate for weal or woe
wo think, on 'grotinda of patriotism, not to
say self-interest, I hut it is our duty so to do
Such considerations as these may uot influence
the Review or tlie parly whose oauio it advo
cate", but tbey are none the less cogent with os.
Que word as to our motive in writing these
articles. Beyond the publtu good and the dis
semination of correct principles, we confess to
so much of tho charge of the Review, as as
serts that we desito "to set the decisions" of the
Juilgei "right before the people," aud wo uro
lorry to add that we cannot return tho compli
ment by imputing to the Rniew any such
laudable purpose. To set, them trrong before
tlie people, in the hope to make "very efficient
thunder for the next oleotioni" seems, to he tho
"painful labor" and unworthy inntivo of that
unprincipled sheet. Again, "does the unlearned
pundit af the Revieio understand"!
Hume of our reader may think that we are
wasting words in confuting these hald and pur
lisuii misrepresentations of the Rctitw. Hut
we think not. Ignorant, llippuut. unci uueoru
milom journals and joiirij1"Jitii are not wiiliunl
influence always baneful and perniciuts til
public uffuire, and they require con-aunt watch
ing and exposure, iu even the plainest oases,
to preretit their poisoning ov perverting the
minds of the unwary or prejudiced. Such an
one, with eveu tho limited circulation and
duublful credence of the Ktviev, is a moral
and peliliuiil naisaiico, which you must keep
constantly abating with the strong arm of truth,
and the hammer nf righteousness, or it will
como to get Itself believed In some nut-of-thc-
way curuer, to thu ruiu of the pour, misguided
soul Who rends It. Again, and for tlin last
time, "does the tiiilcnrnod pundit fif the Hrvieic
understand"?
POM (OIXTY.
The canvass in Polk is exciting. The cop
perheads are making desperate elforts In carry
thecuuniy. There is uo doubt that they have
imported a large number of votes, aud if free
uso of money, and unscrupulous frauds and
falsehood arc sufficient, they will elect their
ticket. In addition to their candidates, aud
the speaker Imported from other counties, we
observe that our ld friend Fred Wnyiniro

But the days of telegraphs and daily mails
re too rapid for him, und he lias fallen as far
behind in his polilloa as he is in astronomy.
Ilia say " tho idea that tho world is round is

A LAST Al'PKAb.
One week frotn to-day the voters of Oregon
will iiim be called on to declare at the ballot
lior, for the policy advocated liy one nr the
olhcr'of tlie two parties into which tln-y are
divided. There is no alternative no third
candidates to support, and thus dodge the mum
issue. The vote then given will, so lar as this
State can do it, either etrcuglhcn thu Federal
Government and weaken the Rebellion, or it
will strengthen the Rebellion and weaken the
Federal Government. It will thrill with joy
every patriot heart and nerve to renewed ef
fort and courage every bravo soldier who is
fighting for the Union, Government, and Free
dom, or it will whisper encouragement aud
confidence to every traitor and pirute who is
seeking tho destruction of our national life.
The ultimate issue of this war is no longer
doubtful, and the lime is, we trust, not fur dis
tant when law and order will prevail over
treason and discord, but t!.e time when these
results shull bo effected, depends iu a great
measure upon tho vote of noil Monday. A
Tote for Henderson, is a veto In give thu Gov
ernment a hearty earnest support, uud make
tlie work of crushing the Rebellion and pun
ishing the traitors who originated it, short. It
is a Vote to substitute peace, good order, and
prosperity, for war, anarchy and distress. A
vote for Kelly is u veto to sustain those who
falturingly "condemn the action of those States
which bavo placed themselves in rebellion
against the Government," and at thu same
time loudly proclaim the doctrine of Statu
Right n interpreted by Southern traitors, am)
opeuly avow the right uf uullilicutioii and re
sistance to United States laws, us set forth in
tho pernicious Kentucky resolution of 1703
'M. The last election iu ibis Stule was a stun
ning rebuke to those who fur party ends apol
ogized for- treason nnd were ready to strike
iniud with the rebels in uruis. It frustrated
their design and carried disappointment and
chagrin to their traitorous hearts, while it gave
a pledge of earnest sympathy aud eucunrngj
ment to loyal men from one cud uf the Union
to tho other. Siuou that election, thu progress
of our armies, though slow and sometimes tern
puruiily checked by diduslcr, has yet in the
main been encouraging and cheering. We
have recovered more thun half the territory
Itrst emhrnoed in the Confederacy and uuiiilii
lated nioii) than half their ar-nics, while the
repeated attempts of tint rebels to transfer the
war to Northern (oil have resulted always in
humiliating failure. The Administration which
lias accomplished en much under circumstances
nf so grout difficulty and embarrassment, and
which promises soon to give the final blows In
th .' accursed rebellion, appeals to ns for sap
port at this election. A vote for Henderson is
a vote to support thnt Administration, and
through it the Government, A voto for Kelly
is a vote to support tho dangerous schemes of
copperhead politicians the Woods, tho Sey
mours, the Vullandighams of the Eastern
States thu Joe. Lanes, the O'Menras, the
T'V'uults, uud the Kelly of Oregon who en
deavor to hoodwink and deceive the people by
artfully drawn resolutions, but invariably
abandon the canto of the Nntion whenever
their volet ore required to give it oticuurugn
nient and support.
Tho copperhead orators and newspapers
howl over the vast expenditure necessarily
incurred iu supporting our unities, they aro
uistriaet-U at fnooiutl violiilious of the Consti
tution Io punish rebels or In frustrate llnir
schemes, they magnify nur reverses, the belie
our victories, tiny ridicule our armies, and
they laud our enemies. H e plead the cause
of the Government for its nwn uke because
It is the? cause of law, of justice, of order, of
freedom, of right. We regard nil party
schemea und it:ensures with indignation and
disgust. We havo but nue thought, one aim,
one purpose to preserve the national life, and
thus accomplish a permanent, lasting peace.
Wo would huvo but ono parly, uud for that
party lint one object Ui support the constituted
authorities in putting down tha rebellion mid
maintaining the Union. If tho Union is pre
served at ull, it w ill be by the main strength nf
the Federal Government. Nothing else rati
save ns. 1'arty pi itforms. composed r,.,0.
letioiiB cunningly devised bj' venal dema

or of Congre" (lt ,0 jr. , Sneers at the
sometime alow progress of Ihe Federal arms
will Knt do it. Carping at every measure of
,'io Adiniiiistru'iim. will not do it. Threats of
resistance or covert evasion of law will not do
it. Nothing but firm, prompt, vigorous, hearlr
s'tpport of the Administration, nod through it
the Government and its armies uud navies cm
do it.
Mr. Henderson is a gentleman whose char
acter for integrity nud purity has never been
challenged. Unostentatious ill private life, his
very modesty oommeuds him to those with
whom be is acquainted, while bis sound logical
arguments and lucid cipnition of democratic
sophistries, convince nil who hear him of hi
ability. His earnest, pure, aud unselfish pa
triotism has never been questioned. Elevated
by his Inch character above Ihe level of ordi
nary politicians, ho is beyond the reach of Ihe
venomous abuse which is often heaped upun
candidates.
We support Henderson because, his election
will sternly rebuke thu only party which ha
endeavored to destroy the Union hecunse Ihey
wero beaten at the ballot-box, and tho only
party whoso political victories have caused
Southern traitor to rejoice. We aro willing
to forget all diffcrcuuc of former political
opinion in faithful.siuccre effort to aucoinplish
the salvation of our beloved country. Those
who agree and sympathise Willi us, will vote
with us. Those whose sympathies are with
thu party ihe success ol which will cause re-
joioiiigs iu every rebel camp, aud exultations
in every rebel heart, will vote for Kelly.

that a State cannot bo ccerced and is fur

He then quotes Madiwm nud Hamilton, Jef

secession and attempts to show that, although
Jackson once held tu Uu doctrine that "coer

to destroy the government, "his opinions after

"would never have struck a blow," he never
"would have fired a gun."

Every voter in Oregon ought to rend the
W hole of this speech before election day. It
may be found in the Congressional Globe lor
18111. Part 2, pago 1342. It is full of.juslili-
cution fur tlie seceding State, full nf deiiiul of
the right of the government to do anything to
prevent secession aud disruption, full uf lau
dations of southern traitors, but bus never u
word of condemnation for the tt.yWiU), fl.'ir
even au expression nf fi-grVt that the govern
mt'jt "to'wliich At, of till other men, owed so
much fusVuboiit to be destroyed. It seethes
with treason rank, vile, outspoken treason
from cud of it to the other, uud it is a most re
mui'kahlo instance of the over liberality uf our
form of govermuuiit, that such a speech, from
ono largely it recipient of it bounty, was tol
erated, aud the offender allowed to go ilnputi
idied. Fellow citizens! this man is the nuknowl.
edgi'd leader of the copperhead, and is now
stumping the State iu support nf Col. Kelly
and the demncrntia party ! He is puffed and
lauded by tho democratic press of Ihe .State !
Can we, then, believe that their professions of
desire to maintain the Union, to put down the
rebellion, or to punish traitors are anvtliinit
more than sheer gammon transparent gull
traps In catch credulous voters f Out upon
such hypocrisy !

Hon. George II. William delivered a most
effective nddres upon the issues of the can

that Ih Judge hud spoken over two hour.
The Judge, alter showing that there could bo

opiuious of individual members, is a secession
party, and that its success would be uid and
encouragement to the rebels now iu arm
against Ihe Nation. He then refuted the com
mon assertion that tile war was beguu by the
aholitiouisU for the extinguishment nf slavery,
and proved that the Administration endeavor
ed faithfully for two years to put down the rv
belliou without reference tn slavery, nnd only
adopted measure against that institution when
it became evident that it was a lower of
strength to the rebels indeed was over lenient
and tender of that property which was their
mailt reliance. . , , , ' ' 1
The whole speech, while courteous and po
lite to those whom it handled severely, wis re
plete wilh terse logical argument and full of
unanswerable (act. If it oculd be repeated
iu ev.-ry precinct and at every school house in
Ihe Stall! before Ihe election, Ihe deuiocratio
Vole would be lessened one-half.
- IT" Mr.-0;Mearal took occasion lo say, very
auufceosarily, in a speech at Scioon'lhe 14 th
instant, that he "thanked God that lie bad iiol
a drop of loyal blood In bit vein," and that
he thought the word loyalty "ought to be
stricken from the democratic vocabulary."
There St not an idiot in Oregon so imbecile as
lo mistake O'Meara for loyal citiieo, and
nobody suspects that the deuiocratio party is
w net wise thaa thoroughly disloyal.
til 'ALUiCATiOSH M VOTIiliS. .
At the elect inn now 'near nt hand, the misili
reeled" zeal of not over scrupulous pnrlizaus
will probably lend to offers of votes Irnm many
who lire not legally entitled to the privilege. It
is the duly of tlie judges of election to decide,
where any question is raised, who aro entitled
In vole and who are not. They aro iiiadu by
thu law. the custodian of Ihe right of freemen
to express their decisions through the ballot-box
justly styled Ihe palladium of our liberties
uud it is equally their duty to carefully sen that
tlie will nf the people is not thwarted by Ihe
introduction of .illegal votes, and to guarantee
to every person who is entitled, tlie right to the
lull und niitrummcled expression nf his choice.
The rigif lo voto may be said to be, under
a Republican form of government, inherent in
every freeman who has not, by some act of his
own, forfeited that right. Hut the manner of
exercising that right is necessarily prescribed,
guarded nud limited by legislation, to prevent
its nbnse.
Tn lite Constitution nud laws of tho State,
therefore, we must refer, to usoertnin who can
of right oluim to exercise tlie elective franchise,
nnd to whom it is necessary to refuse the priv
ilege. , ',..
The Constitution hn the following provis
ions upon this sitbjeot, Art. II, Seo. 2 :
In till elections not otherwise provided for bv this
Constitution, evory white inulo citizun of too Cuiied
Klsles, of the niie of twunl.y.one yours nud upwards,
who shall lu.ve resided in the Slate diiiiun toe six

All iiuililii'(l electors shull vole in tho election pro
duct in tne county wnere mey may resinn, ior couney
ollli'ors, nnd in any county in 'the &tulu for .Stule otll
cers. Since the organization of the State govern
ment, tho Legislature has omitted to pass laws
regulating elections, nnd the laws enaeted by
tho Territorial Legislature are now in force
An examination of these shows that white mule
citizens over twenty-one years of ngo, who are
citizens of tho United States, or have declared
their intention to become such,
"And linen resided six months in the Territory now
Stnte and lifleen days in the county where tbey otter

are entitled to tho privilege l'y tho same

other to vote, may challenge. '
The following sectious point out the course
to be pursued iu this event t
Hkc, 15. If any person otl'iiriug to vote shall be
challenged, us unquulilicd, by any judue or clerk of
the election, or by any other person entitled to vote nt
the same poll, lbs judges shall declnra tu the wiihiu
so challenged lite qualification nf nil elector ; if sueb
liorson shall then state himself duly oualiliel, and the
chullengu slmil not bo withdniwu, one of the judges
shall theti tender to him the following oath, "You do
tolemnly stcear, that you are-tventy-one yran of ax,
that mm are a citizen of tlie United fitntct (or that

that lie does not possess the qiuilitUulious of an elec

We believe we have here collated nil the pro
visions now in forcu upon the subject, and we
hope they will have the, careful attention nf
every voter. ' 1
The question of residence is perhaps the nne
under which controversy is most likely to arise.
To be a lawful voter, a man must bare resided
six months within the State, und fifteen days
within the county. What entitles a man to
call himself a resident f any certain place I
It is not merely his preseuce in that place ; fur
a resident nf Salem, for instance, may cijf
Corvallis, aud remain there for months, nud still
remain a rrsiefrni of the former place ; and on
the oilier hand, he may leave Salem aud be
come a resilient of another (own, the hour he
arrives there, in w hat then is the distinction I
We reply, it is found In the intention of the
person, and coucnmitsnt circumstances. The
person removing must have a bona fide inten
tion lo abandon his former residence, and adopt
the new one iu which he offers lo Vote. If he
goes only temporarily, and with an intention of
returning, he will not change his residence,
though he may remain fur months. At, If be
leave a family, or dwelling, or otfitjr things
which arc commonly taken In indicate Were a
mau resides, in the former place, ho acquires
no new residence, unless he can show a ionn
Jidt intention tn remove. It is nlways a safe
rule to observe that a man has not gained a
right to voto in one county until he ha lost
that right io the one where he previously resi
did. A mere temporary removal to a oonnty,
for the express purpose of ohtnining the right
to vote, without any intention of remaining lor
an u either linrmian hn n,nm tfiema thu nrtvilesrA
....j ., w ft.---- - I B-
f of an elector .than does a visit to Portland to sell
load of produce, make a farmer of Marion
county a non-resident.
When any person' vote I challenged, be
is entitled to a fair hearing, and if there it rea
son tn doubt bis statements, the judge may
take the testiiuouy of bystander, who are cog
riant of th (acta. If the judges, after hear
ing, reject him, be may require that bit prefer
ence be rccurilcd as ft "rejected vnler," t lint iu
case of after contest, If it, appear that the
judges erred in llieir 'decision,'' he may, have the
lieiti'lii ol Ins vote. If it uppear alter u man
has voted, lliut ho was not a legal voter, the
judges limy crate Ins iiutiie and Vole from the
pull iioiiks, nut. nits provision uoca not uppiy io
cases where challenge was given before the
viiting.
We think the foregoing is a fair epitomo nf
the law upon this inipiii'laiit point, und if, by a
study of tho subject, nil who aro entitled tn
vote nru permitted tu tin so, and illegal voting
is prevented, line object will he attained.
IXDEPESDKST TICKET IX MILTXOMAII.
Certain Individuals, who havo professed devotion to
tha Union cuiisu and party, have combined with the
copperheads to briuK out a mongrel "Independent"
ticket, with which to defeat tho regular Union nomi
nees of Multnomah cuunty, Tlie opperbend conven
tion, on tlin 21st Hist., adjourned without inuking any
nominations, having llrst endorsed tho platform of the
Albany Ileiiinr.nit.lc Convention, and passed the follow
ing resolution, reported by I,. P. Mosher I
lienoleed, That while we as detnucriits arc not wit
ling to sacrifice our orguniZiilinii or identity, as demo
ci-uts we deem it due to the best interest of all concern
ed, nt. the eominir ulection to iniiko no iiotnltuitiuns tor
county otllcers, but In voting will select those whom
we deem most citpuhle and houest,' regardless of ques
tions of party policy.
T.ie copperlteiid leaders thus extended nn Invitation
to tho sore heails who had fulled In their desperate ef
forts to carry the Union convention In the Interest of
one or two obnoxious individuals. The prcceas of Incu
bation then commenced, and after a week of diligent
caucusing in the whiskey saloons and other dark places
of I'ortland, tho managers adroitly contrived to recon
cile or silence Uie. refractory Individuals who were not
anthflcd with their share of the expected spoils, and on
Saturday last the precious brood was hatched. Here it
Is:
for Sheriff, Itohcrt J. T.ailil J Itepresentntlves, Anmry
llolhrook, K. VV. Tracy, Orvllle Hndey j Treasurer, .
I. Poland-: Omniis-.inriei'u, 11. V. Orhott, John (1.
Carson: Assessor, J. V. Going ; Coroner, Dr. C. El
wort ,- Kurveyur.i C. W. Uurruge j School Superinten
dent, U. H. Atkinson.
Let us dissect It. Boh. Ladd whom every body
knows is llrst. lie Is the present sheriff, and was a
frantic cundidute for re nomination before the Union
Convention, lie participated hi every Uhion primary
meeting in Purtland, and probably did more bard
work, uud treated to more '.bad whiskey, during tlie
six months preceding tho County Convention, train
any other candidato in I'ortland ever did. Hut soma
ugly stories about his fondness for drinks nnd prone,
ness to pokor, and his paying greenbacks where he
had collected coin, with the very strong suspicions of
tbe genuineness of his loyalty, defeated him, and he at
once became an independent candidate. He may huve
once been thought by some hottest enough lo be Sheriff
of an important county, but thnt ideu is pretty Ihor
oughly dispelled now. , . ,
O. Kisley, who mils the representative ticket is not
remai-kniile for anything but bis uepporhead nations of
"sympathy with tho South." Ho represented Clacka
mas county in the Legislature niuny years ago, and
was distinguished there for stupidity and blind devo
tion to regular deinoeruey. Iu IHG, he run on the eop
perbend ticket in Mullnomuh for County Judge, nud
was badly beaten by P. A. Marqiiam, the Uniou cuti
didato. 'if
F.. W. Tracy is a business man, said to have "no
politics, but strong copperhead tendencies." He is
considered a smart business mun nud very affable gen'
tleinuii, nud wus put In the middle of the ticket prob
ubly, iu order that his good name might give respect
ability to its extremities, but the result more likely to
occur, will be bis own degredutiou before the public
rather tlmu the olevatiou of tlie deud weights he tries
to carry.
Aruory flelbrook, who Is the muster spirit origina
ting nud eiujincering the devilment, is so well known
to Oregoniaus that comment upon him appears almost
superfluous, lie came to Oregon In un early day, with
a Kederul iippiiintiueut and the reputation of a good
lawyer, lireedy nrabitiuu forelllciul place, nnd sellish
disregard of tho claims and rights of more worthy men
aided by bis iiutiriously iioinnul habile, made him ob.
noxious to the people of Clackamas county, (whore he
lived), and be was permitted to remuiu in private life
until, la lxtit), by earnest promises f f moral reform and
mueli admit management of Conventions, lie was nomi
nated by the ilepublfcans for the Legislature. Tbe
nomination was n matter of surprise and dissatisfaction
tic.tb ill and nut or Clackamas county but, reflect for
regular nniiiitiatloiis und tho hope that reformed morals
would emiblc his acknowledged Intellect to be useful to
the State, combined to elect him; He immediately be
came a candidate for the U. 8. Senate, and, participa
ting hiniseir with the other Republican members of the
Legislature In caucus, was defeated by tho nomination
of the lamented Baker. In joint convention, ho voted
twenty-odd times for Col. U.iker, but, upon tlie lu-t bill
lot, when there was the first prospect of en election, he
treacherously deserted his associates and attempted lo
defeat Ibcir nominee. 'A few months later, while osten
sibly favoring Mr. Lincoln's election, he permitted his
persoual antipathy to otie of the candidates for Tresi
dential elector to overbear any interest he may have
felt iu tho success of the csuso, aud by bis iiillueiice
succeeded In running that candidate sixteen votes be
hind liis culleaguea on the electoral ticket. He Went to
Wiuhington the foilowiiigJo'jnt-j-,-iii pursuit of laws
. from the incoming administration, but failing to obtain
any, he returned to Orogon, sour aud vindictive
Tuking ndvuuUge of the pecuniary neccisilics of the
proprietor ol the Oregonian, he fastened himself as a
llxlure :i the editorial department of that paper, with
the determination plainly avowed to more thun one
gentleman, of breaking up the Union party I . Uuder
his control, tho puncr has ostensibly favored the Union
cause, bit the editor has ns.tected no opportunity by
puffing tlis candidates of the opposite patty into appa
rent respectability, or imligniaf Union men or far bet
tt-r rcord tlmu iiimseir to. siw dissension and breed
discoid ii the Union rank, and thus accomplish, the
purpose with which he set nut. Lat year, wluii tbe
copperheads of Washington Territory were running
Cole against Ilayuor for Congress, the laudations of the
former in tho Orcgnnian were read by every secession
stump orator in the canvas, and without donbt turned
votes enough to defeat Mr. Itaynor. Even the Hacru
roento Union was so misled by the course of the Ore.
gonian thut in n.inoniicing tbe result, It said Cole, the
regular Union nominee for Congress, was elected over
Kaynor, the copperhead candidate. In the sauio man
ner, the pnlfs of t'ol. Kelly in the same paper are now
thrown In the teeth of Union men by copperheads in
every precinct in tbe Slate while loyal men look in
viiiii'tbrouuh its columns for uuy such words in favor,
of Union nominees.
Tn pursuance of the same plan. Mr. llolhrook now
invites the disntl'eeu-d nnd the sorebeadeil of tiie Union
psrly to desert the good cuuse, and by uniting wilh the
secessionists, to give biui a s-'ut in tho councils of the
Sule. Hut the infamous project is, we are sure, doom
ed lo failure. Their is too much good sense, too much
patriotism, too much abburrence of surll urac.liery,
uiiiotig the voters of Multnomah, to give the hml com
bination a clisni-e of suceeta. nnd the defeat which
awnits this "independent ticket" will heap npnrt the
"evil genius" wiiose artful malignity bus brought it
into existence, so great a measure of just npprubioin,
that he will slink nut of s'nrht. despised nnd execrated
of all patriots. We congratulate tbe Union fj-jiy np
on the desertion o' hitn who has ever been too la-avi
est millstone nbout lis neck.
To uiu. a color of respectability and loyalty to this
mongrel ticket, these adroit schemers huve taken the
names of three sound meu from the regular ticket and
incorporated them into their bantling Messrs. H. V,
Corhflt, C. W ittu-nige and leo. II. Atkinson. We
doubt not this has been done without the ,-onoieaitee
or concurrence of anv of thfse ireotlcuien. und we
knor this (u tie true so fur as Mr. Corbet! is eottenteil.
He has no sympathy wilh eopo-rbeada or bolting dem
agogues, and will give the Union ticket bis bturly
enioiort.
hut d'-es Mr. I'iitovk snr to Ibis Ireueberv 01 his
editor t Mr. I1. m tbe uomliH-e ol thu l.-nuni Conven
tion for State Printer. We hope lie will receive the
uii'liviiUil tuiuort ot Hie Luton partv. ns li iloes ones,
but he rannot expect this it is not ngli! that he should
II lie romiunre in allow mis enemy or uie organisa
tion which unminated and will support him, lo control
the cehuuui of the chief daily paper of tbe Slate. It
is due In himself aud due to tlie Union purl v thai he
should euk out, publicly, pronipily and fully, in re
pudiation of the course ol Mr. llolb'ruok.
IXDIGX1TI0X MEETING AT OBEGOX (ITT.
(Inmost Citv. Mar 28. IWI.
En. Status i There is much indignation in this
community over tlie announcement ef Amory Hob
brook as ao independent candidate for tbe Legi'slalitre
in Multnomah county- Last nii;bt, npnu a brief notire,
a spirited meeting was held at tbe Court House, and a
series of resolutions adopted, one of wbirh refers to
the fart that Mr. HolhriHik is running wilh Mr. Kisler,
wbo i a full blooded Oregon democratic sympathising
secessionist, and reiiueating .Mr. 1'ittock - to . stale
whether he desires to lie held responsible for tlie ron
dnct of the acting editor of his paper. These resolu
tions were sinned by the members of the meeting, and
are beiug circulated for general signature among- L'uion
men in this viriuily.
Mr. Pillock certainly could not blame Union men
for refusing him support while he permits a bolting
candidate, who depends almost entirely upon votes ot
haters ef le Union caoea for his tlection, to control
the oolumne of his paper, whioh depends upon Union
aiB entirely for Mitumo. CANTUi".
