The Oregonian poti thii question, but fails
to gl any direct atiiwer to it, nr to uj what
position it now oocuples on the lama. It says
that "ihould onr State be needed to assist
the tot, (the Anti-Slavery Amendment,) we
believe It to be onr duty to speak the word ai
qaiokly ai potiible." And pray, what Union
nan doei not believe in luoh duty ? Ie there
any thing new in that t Wat not that the po
rtion taken by the last Union State Conven
tion, by the laat Legislature, and by every man
in the party T Wae it not to expressed in the
Stateiman in the iesne of Maroh 20tb, laet T
80 far m the question bu been disouaaed by
the Union prees of the State, (eioept the Ore
gonian,) it has been, Should a Special Seiiiou
be oonvened immediately, for the parpote of
passing open the Anti-Slavery Amendment J
We eppoee the calling of ipeoial session at
thii lime, for the reaioni urged in our laet issue,
and the Oregonian eeea fit to pronounce them
"the petty strategy of a State Politician."
Onr propoeitioo waa limply to let the matter
reet at preeent, and let the votere of the State
ratify the amendment at the next election.
1'bie appears to the Oregonian man ns the
" petty strategy of a State Politician." We
have always innocently supposed that deciding
matters by a fair vote at the ballot-box, wns
deciding thorn " upon the square ;" but to the
Oregonian man, this idea of counting votes at
the ballot-box, and winning on politioal ques
tions before the people, by virtue of having the
right on onr eide, is the merest " petty strategy
of a State Politician." It is the first time wo
have ever heard, or read of, the aoousation of
' petty strategy," being brought against any
party, or any man, for securing the advantage
in a political contest, of advooating just aud
righteous principle for advocating Liberty ;
and at this day and age of the world, the oriti
cism of " petty strategy," upon an holiest ef
fort to secure to the Uuion party the distinctive
advantage of an advocaoy before the people of
the abolition of the true eaose of the great re
bellion, teems to ns to be neither nst nor rea
sonable. While we know very well that the question
is not merely will tbis measure build np our
side of politics, we also know that it it not one
to be settled by a " paper " Amendment to the
Constitution. We want to see the Amendment
adopted by the hearts and minds of the people,
that hereafter no mieuamed Drmooratio party
of the North, allied with the rebellious slave
holders of the South, oao say that this Anti
Slavery Amendment was put into the Consti
tution without a fair expression of the people
en the question. We have full ooufidenoe that
H will be to adopted, not only by Oregon,
but by every State in the Union, because the
enormity of the oarse of slavery hat been fully
exposed, and henceforth the maroh of Liberty
will be onward.
" We stated two weeks ago that we believed
the action ef the Southern States themselves,
wonld render a ipeoial session of our Legisla
ture, for this purpose, nnneoessary. Sinoe then
we have confirmatory evidenoe of the correct
ness of that belief, in a telegram from Little
Hook, staling that the Legislature of Arkansas
bad unanimously adopted the Anti-Slavery
Amendment.
But the Oregonian winds np with carious
uggestien in reeommending a good school Law
as one of the elijeote ef a special session. As
special session can only be oonvened upon '-ex-inordinary
occasions," we submit that if the
need of a good school law is an extraordinary
occasion, then that occasion has existed fur a
long time. A good school law la indeed badly
needed, but having done without one for to
many years, we are inclined to think that tbis
want cannot now be magnified into such an
" extraordinary occasion," as to demand or the
tax-payers ten thousand dollars, expenses for
special session.
And now we repeat, that whenever tho fate
of the Anti-Slavery Amendment depends upon
rpecial session of our Legislature, we are
heartily in favor ef calling the session at once,
no matter what amy he the expense,
But until that necessity is showu to exist, we
are opposed to the special session ; and we
know that a large majority of the voters think
the same way. And If that neqessity does not
arise before the next election we hope to aid in
keeping the Anti-Slavery Amendment question
before the people, and the Oregonian man way
call it " petty strategy," or any thing else that
suits him.

We have mentioned the name of tlio States
man newspaper. We acquit that paper of any
share in the remarks just runde. w uat it saiu
ahoot the President's Mood lieing upon me
skirts of men north or south who have in any
way eymputbiied with the rebelliou, it must
have said without thought. All Know mat wis
paper and its fellnws are in the constant habit
nf calling democrats "sympathisers." We will
not willingly believe that our opponent here,
deliberately assails us with a charge so un
founded and so Infamous. Arena.
We said what we did upon lefleotion, and
after carefully examining the record of the
Democrats party and its papers for the last
four years. We now distincly charge, that the
teachings of the Demooralio pnrty and its pa
pers for tho past four years, has direotly and
strongly tended to the production of jnst such
men as John Wilkes Booth fanatics that be
lieved they were especially authorized by
Heaven and the Democratic party to put an
end to the existonce of Abraham Lincoln and
his Cabinet. The whole oourse of the Cop
perhead press, has been to inculcate the idea
that President Lincoln was a tyrant and usurp
er. For the truth of this we appeal to their
record.
And the day will never come, when th
Democratic party can get rid of this infamous
record, deliberately made. We care not how
much it hurts them now, upon this point, the
truth will be declared. None howled louder
for the " freedom of the Press," than did these
Deinooratio editors in Oregon. Thoy were al
lowed the freedom of tho press perfect free
doin. and they used it to make for themselves
and their party a reoord that can never he for
gotten or forgiven used to aid and encourage
traitors in arms against thoir Government, and
incite deeds of bloodshed and assassination
ago! list the lawfully constituted authorities.
There is no denying the fact that the
rebels theinselvos inaugurated the bloody
strife, and kept it up for four years with unox-
ampled oarnage and ferocity. They have never
yet been able to point to a single right that
had been withheld, or a single wrong that had
been infliotedv by the Government before they
commenced their treasonable work. Alexnnder
II. Stevens, their ownVioe President has stntod
this in muoh clearer terms than we are able to.
Yet with these plain faots, the Democratic
party at the very outset, insisted that we ought
to get down on our knees and humbly pray
these traitors for a " Compromise ;" and that
too in the face of their repeated declaration
that they would consent to no compromise, not
even if they were furnished the blank paper
and permitted to write it themselves. The ouly
alternative left for President Lincoln, wns to
either give np the National Unity, back out
from the rebels and disgrace the American
people forever, as set of cowards, or he had
to resort to armed forcos to destroy the armies
of the rebels and retnke the property of the
United States, and restore the authority of the
Government throughout the seceded States
Ho chose the latter, and the Nation sustained
him in doing it. This wat unquestionably his
sworn duty. If he hud fullered in that duty
he would not have fulfilled tho obligations of
his high office. All now admit that lie dis
charged that duty, at Mr. Smith expressed it
at the Methodist Chnrob, conscientiously und
to the best of his judgment. It is equally true,
that he discharged that duty t humanely as
possible under the cirouiurtauces. So well had
he discharged that duty, that tho Arena is
forced to admit " that it was better for the Na
tion, and better for our liberty," that he re
mained at tho head of the great Uuion party,
than any one else.
Now with luoh patriotism, integrity and hu
manity, as his record, admitted by his oppo
nents after his death, we find that in his life
time they pursued him with unremitting cal-
amiuation, malignity and ferocity, falsifying
and misrepresenting bit every act. At illus
trating the exteut to which the dovilish spirit
of party opposition hat carried men, certainly
against their reason and tho sober second
thought, we instanco the following from the
Arena : Speaking of Mr. Lincoln, that paper's
Portland correspondent, in tho issoe of March
27lfa, derisively called him a "poor simpleton,"
" long, lauk, dyspeptic vicious rascal." The
same correspondent, in the issue of March 0th.
olurget Lincoln with cautiug " masiaores " of
the people of St. Louis. In the issue of Feb
1.1th, the editor tayt, " we rejoice in a Chief
Magistrate who retards no law ami exeoutot
his arbitrary will." In the issue of Dec. lUlli,
in reviewing Mr. Lincoln's message, the Arena
oharges the President with telling " a henrtless
lie," calls him the " High Priest to the Aho
liliuu Moloch," aud an " Aholiliou fiend."
The epithet of " Buffoon," at applied to Mr.
Lincoln, it of frequent occurrence in the Arena
It it proper to remark that the Arena it not an
exoeptiou to the other Deinooratio papers, in
the use of tuoh unmerited abuse of the late
President.
As far as tho editor of tho Arena is person
ally oonoorned, osido from his onniieution with
bis party, be oannnt but see that he has far ex
ceeded aud transgressed the bounds of justice
and manly oritiaisin; and now if he don't
want this record to bang to him like a mill
stoue around hit neck, he ought to leave the
rotten and tiukiug old hulk of pro-slavery De
mocracy. Meu must not be led by their feel
ings aud prejudioee, must uot permit
blind party hatred la run away with their rea
son,, aud Involve them in seob outrageous per
versious of the truth. We are living in per
ilous limes, and it become all men who apeak
to the publco, and more especially editors of
politioal newspaper, to wield their influence
in favor of sobriety and good order, iu such
mauner as to promote the peace and harmony
of eooiety, iustsad of creating and fostering
inch captions, querulous, fault-finding, iuso
leut aud malioiout spirit, as the ooiitiimal us
of abusive language is sure to load to.
Abraham Liuooln received such an endorse
ment of the Ameriuau people a on other mas
hat reoeived lino the dayt of Andrew Jaok
toil 1 and when he it held up before the people
ae lyraut a, d despot, as both fool and fiend,
by any newspaper, the charge becomes ono not
particularly against the Prtsideut, but a still
graver on wholesale calumny agtinst th
people who tleotrd. him, and we eauuol agree
that man it gniltlrs in pursuing snth a
oourse, aud much less, th party which he
torse.

WHAT Will MtlMNK WITH THK KEBKL
J.KAKKKS ?
The Arena thinks that it woold ho a dis
graceful spectacle to hang the rebel leaders.
It is all a matter of taste, probably, with seme
men. We think that it is not only the duty of
President Johnson to hang Jeff. Davis aud his
Cabinet, and a good many more of their lead
ing political spirits, but that such act is due to
the dignity aud honor of tho nation. The as
sassination of Lincoln is clearly traceable to
Richmond, and iu addition to their being doub
ly damned iraitors before that infamous dead,
aud deserving death according to the law of
the laud, their connection with that aot reu-
dirs them outlaws aocordiug to the laws of na
tion! and subjeot to death, no matter where
found. Iu speaking on litis point, Yattel says:
Assassination and poisoning are thereore
contrary to the laws of war, and equally con
demned by the Inns of nature and all civilized
nations. The sovereign who has recourse to
such execrable means should be regarded at
the enemy of the human raco. and the common
safety of mankind calls on all nations to unite
against him, and join their forcts to punish
him. His conduct particularly authorizes the
enemy whom he has attached by such odious
means, to refuse hitn any quarter."
If the War Department has not already suf
ficient evidence to fasten tho crime of assassin
ation on Jell, jjavis, we eiiotim ininK tue ioi-
Inning advert isement, which was permitted to
appear for a long lime in the Selina (Ala.)

How much of this million of dollars Booth
and his accomplice were to get, is a matter nf
oenjecture yet, hut it looks probable, that as
the livot of the same men were sought for, that
this advortiseinent may have lind something to
do with the matter. This at lead shows that
a people and "government" that will permit
such propositions to he openly made, is scarce
ly better than a set of savages.
But thii is not all. In Missouri, the retreat
ing rebel armies poisoned tho wells of water that
our soldiers would have to drink of, and exposed
poisoned flour to their use. At Lihliy aud other
prisons they starred our soldiers to death ; and
at Fort Pillow Ibey murdered in cold blood
men who had surrendered, and buried others
alive. The rebel leaden have tolerated all
these infamous crimes agaiurt civilization, have
looked on with apparent diabolical satisfaction
and enjoyed the snine with domouioul pleasure;
and yet wo are to he told that they must not
be hung. A man that will excuse Jeff. Davis
will excuse the assassin Booth. There is no
difference between the crime in cither case.--We
may havu forgiveness for a fellow-heing

Tub Enemy in Ouk Midst. In hit life
time, tho lion. J. D. Boon presented a small
cannon to the Union men of Silvertoo p
cinot. Upon tilts receipt of tho uews of the
full of Richmond, the Union men used this gun
to fire a salute, and after they had retired to
their homes, some secesh democrat stole a file
from the shop of Joul Fuller, and under cover
of midnight darkness, went and spiked the
gun. The vile wretch that was guilty of that
daslardiy act, voted for McClrllati, exulted at
the assassination of the President, is a good
peaco democrat, and if opportunity offered
would kill and rob his Union neighbors. Peace
democrats novor give offense ! Oh, no !

Smarting uuder tho damning reproach of
sympathy wilh the slaveholders rebellion,
which hai finally finished itr savage and bar
barous career iu the usiassiimtion of the Pres
ent, tho Dorrocratlo press is just now making
death strtiKile to esoape the odium that their
guerrilla warfare upon the late President, ii
likely to fasten opon them forever. How far
their oonduot in continually representing and
denouncing the President as a tyrant, despot,
fiend, murderer, buffoon, aud so on to the ud
of the billingsgate alphabet, has Influenced
and incited luch fanatical wretches as Booth to
commit the terrible uot, wo of courso are un
able to state. But one thing is certain, the di
rect cflcot of all such teaching and denuncia
tion, is to imbuo northern sympathizers with
rebellious spirit, and to convince them that
Lincoln was what they constantly said of linn,
and so work 011 the morbid fancies aud wicked
hearts of suuh men as Booth, as to satisfy them
that th-y weru " doing God't service," lo com
mit this act of assassination.
The Copperhead press now see their true po
sition in relation to this awlul crime, anu are
attempting to hido their reoord and divert ot-
tention from Iheir past acts, by bluster and
threats of violence. Soino fellow writiny for
the Arena, under a Latin maxim, and over the
signature of a , advises the Cops, uuder cer
tain circumstances, " to arise wilh armi in their
hands and turn the tide of blood," against their
enemies. To have been consistent, the incen
diary ooward ought to have signed himself like
Booth, " Sic Semper Tyranms." Ihe Arena
editor, also putt iu a litllo cheerlul boasting to
the elfeot, that they (tho Cups) Know their
strength, and if a row is kicked up in this State,
Union men will pray for the rocks to lull on
them, &o.
All we have lo say to this, ii, that no amount
of bluster, or threatening, will deter the au
thorities from enforcing the laws of the United
States, and of Oregou, and maintaining pence.
If the peace is broken, and bloodshed ensncs,
it will not he the fault of Gov. Gibbs, Cnpt.

who exult at tho assassination nf the President,
and constantly threaten resistance to " Lin

and if insurrection ensues, thoy will create it.
Law and order will be maintained ; and that
too, without nny bravado or noise. The United
States Government is in duty bound lo main
tain iti laws and authority, and preserve tho
peace here as well ai elsewhere. ,It hat the
means to do it. the power to do it, the dispo.
sition to do it, and it will be done, though the
hraveni fall, at well ai the rocks. Having
crushed out the slaveholder'! rebellion in the
Southern Statet, tho most gigantic rebellion in
all history, it it very likely that it would make
short work of a Copperhead rebellion iu Or

From all parts of the country wo hare heard
of men who are so utterly depraved and to
damnably infamous as to exult over the tnnrder
of the President. Their names are known,
and their politics ns well at their names. And
while we would not charge the Democratic
pnrty generally with a sympathy with this dis
graceful and horrid deed, yet we state an un
drniuble 'Jairt, that every man that has been

New Yoiik, April 28. The following is a
statement of Sergeant Bastou Corbett, who
shot Booth on Tuesday afternoon : My tuperi
or officer, Lieut. Doherty, recuived information
that two persons bearing description of Booth
and his accomplice, were concealed in a Imrn
on the plaoo of one Henry Gurrctt, three miles
from Port Royal, in the direction of Bowling
Green, Near the latter place wo captured a
man named Gelt who hud ferried Booth and
his companion across tho Potomac At first
Gelt denied knowing anything about the mat
tar, but when threatened with death if ho did
not reveal the spot when) the assassins were
secreted, he told us und piloted til to tho place.
Booth and Harruld reached the burn about
dusk Tuesday evening. The barn was at once
surrounded by our cavalry. Some of our party
then engaged in conversation with Booth from
the outside. He was several times command
ed to surrender by Lieut. Doherty, hut made
no reply to the demand. When first asked to
surrender he said, "What do you take me
for !" At 3 o'clock or a little after the barn
was fired ; but before the flames were kindled
Booth hud the advantage iu respect to light
he could see us but we could nut see him. Tho
flames appeared to confuse hitn and he made a
spring toward tho door ns if to attempt to foroo
his way out. Ai he passed by one of the crov
loes in tho barn I fired nt him. I aimed at his
body us I did not wish tn kill him. I tni k deliberate-
aim nt his shoulder, but the aim wns
high. The ball struck him in the head jnst
below the riiiht ear and passing through came
out ubout an inch ubove the left ear. I whs
over ten yards distant when I fired. He died
in about two hours and a half. Abont an hour
before he breathed his Inst ho prayed to he
shot through the heart and end his great mis
ery. His suffering appeared to he intense.
When he fell ho had iu his hand it 7-shootor,
which he dropped after being wounded. To
other revolvers were also found near him. He
declared that tho arms belonged to hi 111 nnd
that Harrold had nothing to do witli the mur
der. Ho did not talk much otter receiving the
wound. When asked if ha had anything to
pay, ho replied : "I die for my oountry, and
ask these standing by to tell my mother so."
lie did not deny his dime.
The anticipated retreat of Jeff. Dnvis from
Texas to Mexico with the purpose of involving
us in new difficulties has been duly considered,
and will be counteracted by our government.

Knoxvillb. April 22. Since tho last intel
ligence from Sloueumn's command, tho follow
ing is a summary of what it has accomplished:
One portion af the command under Colonel
Palmer moved down Cntnwha river, stopping
partiei going South-wust from Johnston'! army,
and capturing upwards of 2,0110 prisoners and
20 pieces of artillery. Among other things
Hint were destroyed, was un immense bridge
over Catawba river. Hearing then that a gen
eral arinistioo had been entered into by Sher
man and Johnston, Col. Palmer ceased opera
tions. Tho greater portion of the command,
under Gen. Gilnin, attacked and routed the
rebel forces uuder Mnj.-Gon. MuCownn, nt
Morgan, taking one piece of artillery, and after
wards forcing the passes through Ihe Blue
Ridgo, held by the rebel troops uuder General
Martin, aud taking six pieces of artillery. He
would have captured the whole force bud bo
not been met by Gen. Martin with 11 ting of
truce and bearing letters from Gcu. Sherman,
and countersigned by Johnston, directed tn
Stoncmnii, ordering a general suspension of
hofttilitire And withdrawal of tint lurove uuuvr

Aew lorn, April SJj. t he World i special
dispatch says -. Advices received hero to-day
direct from Raleigh, state tnat the conference
hetweeu Sherman and Johnson took place at
Chapel Hill, fifteen miles west of Raleigh.
Johnson's army of 30.11110 meu, including
Hampton e and W heeler 1 cavalry, is twenty
mile from the city on the Charlotte Road. At
the second interview, lireckeuridiie wai ores-
cut and participated, drawing up the already
puiuisneu memoranda 01 tue terms 01 capitula
tion. During the conversation, he readily ad
noted the failure of the rebellion, and declared
that peace wusaliimst at hand ; aud in alluding
to the Constitutional Amendment, ho laid it
nni a strictly legal war of abolishing slavery
aud predicted its ratification by more than two-
thirds uf tho States. It is understood that
during the ennfreence, iu which telegraphic
communication with Itreckiuridge nt John
ston's headquarters, that no pnblio or private
properly was uestruyeu liy our iroops I he
citizens', including Urge numbers of ladies,
appeared on Ihe streets as usu 1.
Business is not suspended. The newi of the
President's assassination reached Raleigh late
Wednesday, the lfitb. That night a large
meeting was held, and resolctious were passed
denouncing the deed, and expressing sympathy
for the Government aud people.
New iork, April 26. By a special to the
Timet from Washington last night, wa have
mlormation from Sherman's armr of an minor-
tnnt character. It appears that Johnston's laet
letter lo Sherman proposed the surrender of
his army 011 the same terms as Lee. Another
meeting wo arrauged. at which Wade Hamp
ton wa present. He protested agaiust the
terms of surrender, and declared he would nut
surrender his cavalry force supposed to be
3.000 strong; thereupou Shermau consented
to a delay for the purpose of giving Johnston
and Hampton an opportunity lo consult Davis.
Auolher meeting was arrauged for next 'day.
Un that day, Ihe parties again nu t. At the
first silting a memorandum of a basil of agree
ment was presented.
The 7Ws' Raleigh 0 respondent of the
I'.'th says : The ooufi-reuce between Sherman
and Johnston has eon e to a conclusion, which
is believed in the army lobe highlv taliefactory
nnd honorable to both partiei. What passej
at lh interview was probably known onlr to
Iheuiselvee. When they met. Ihcy locked
arms and walked together into the house, where
the conference took place, and there shut them
selves op for several hours leaving their re
spective followen and itaff officers to Irater
nise. and gel along at best they could. No
ono who accompanied Sherman has any idea
what subject wer disouesed, or what terms
proposed, accepted or declined. Sherman is
never a communicative man with respect to
matters of importance, and on sins occasion he
is inure reticent than usual.

PRKSIDKNI JOHNSON'S I'OIICT.
From a telegraphic report of a short speoch
made a few days ago to the Indiana Delega
tion, we are satisfied that tho new President
will make short work of the leading traitors.
The Nation will suitnin him in the views bt
has expressed :
President Johnson's ipeeob tn the Indiana
delegation yosterduy wai more important than
any yet delivered. The President said : We
are living at a time when the public mind bat
almost become oblivious of what troasou is.
The time has arrived when the American peo
ple should be educated and taught that treason
against the United Statet Government is tho
highest orime that oan be committed, and that
those enzared in it should suffer all its penal
ties. It is uot a proinulgalion of any thing thut
I have not heretofore said to lay that treason
must be made odious ; thrU traitors must be
punished aud imprisoned and their sooial power
he destroyed. If nut, thoy will still maintain
the usceudauoy and may again heonuie numer
ous and powerful. Fur in words of former
Senators of the United Slates, whim traitors
become numerous enough, treason becomes re
snectuble, nnd I snv, alter mukiiiff treason udi
ons, evory Uuion man should be remunerated
out of the pockets uf those who inflict the
greatest sufferiug upon the oountry, while I
say as to leaders of treason, nuiiiilnueiit, I also
say leniency and conciliation to thousands
w hom they have misled and deceived. In speak
ing of reconstruction, ho Hindu tho following re
marks upon the idea of destroying States : My
position lias been well Known, and 1 havu no
causa tn change it now. Some are satisfied
with an idea that Statet have lost in territorial
and other divisions, and are tn lose their char
auter as Stutes ; but their life's breath has only
been suspended, and it is my high constitutional
obligation, to secure aud give to each of these
Stutes the possession anu enjoyment of a re
publican form of Government. A State mny
beiu tho Government with a peculiar institution
and by the operatiout of rebellion have lost
that feature, but it wns a State when it went
into rebellion and when it comes cut wilhou
that institution, it is still a Statu. I hold it at
a solemn obligation, on any nf those Stutes
where the rebel army have been boaten hack
or expelled, I care not bow small the Union
meu number, if sufficient to man Ihe ship of
State, to hold it, I say a high duty to protect
and secure tn thorn a republican lorm of gov
eminent. This is 110 mere opinion, it is ex
pressed in conformity with my uuderstanding
of and theory of our Government, in adjusting
and putting them upon their legs aguiu. I think
the progress of the work must pass into the
immediate hands nf its friends. If a State
needs nursing until it gains strength, it must be
nursed bv its friends, not smothered by its en
emies. Now permit me to remark thut while
I have opposed dissolution aud disintegration
ou tue ono nanu. ou me other, l am equally
opposed 10 centralization 01 power.

' DciS'T sei.L VornWool.. We have been called
on by several farmers during tho week, with com
plaints ngninst the Woolen Company of this place.
It is said, that the Company's employees are now
giving out and circulating the report, that the
Factory is compelled to slop now, because its
manufactured goods cannot bo sold, for the pur
pose of influencing the farmers to part with their
wool at very low rotes, and tnko their pay in
I'slnro pay" nt very hinli prices. Tho farniors
aver that ibis is not tho reason that the Factory
stops now, but that tho true reason is, the Factory
has about worked up all its stock, aud is uow mop
ping for Ihe annual clean up nnd repair of ma
chinery. A combination among the Farmers has
been suggested, with a view lo'scnd their wool to
the Fast, getting advances on it when it is ship
ped, so as tocumpcl the Salum Company to pay a
reasonable price for wool. Our Agricultural edi
tor will probably suggest somethiiiir on this sub
ject at an early day.
