The real ues'tlon which la before the people Is, wlioth

tbe campaign which ia now opening in tliia

That ia the iaiue, and it ia a "living lisu"

war of tbe rebellion, ao now, tbe question ia,
snail 'the friends and defender! of Ihe Union
and Ihe Cpn'ttitution control the Government,
or shall the tnttnitt of the Union and the
Constitution control it ?
Daring the rebellion the Democrats endeav

at of light, bjr railing Multitude of ide il

Ing the writ of babeai corpui, the right of tbe

Uvea and now, after the relieli have been
ooeroed Into lubminion to the Conititullon and
the law, theae lame Demoorata will endeavor
to obicure, pot away and oover np the real
qnestion, by railing other aide iiinii. inch as
taxing United States bondi, negro auffrago, and
tbe status of the unpardoned rebeli. Hut lot
do man be deceived. Tbe plain quealion muit
bo kept ia full view all the time i Did you
aupport the President of tbe United State, by
your voioe, your vote or arm, in bis eflbrti to
pat down tbe armed treaioa and rebellion of
the slaveholders t" Put that plain question at
them on all occasions. He that,la not fur ua ia
agalnit as ; and the man who, during the ter
rible four years' war upon the Union, did not
boldly stand op for the Union, and support the
lawfully constituted authorities in their efforts
to .defend the UnioB, was agaioit ui, against
tbe Constitution, and agaimt tbe country ; and
if he baa not repented, and turnod from the
error of bis ways, be is against the intercits of
bis coontry and of his fellow-citizens yet. This
it queition above and beyoud all your little
palilics. It ia one that appi ala to tbo heart and
patriotism of every true friend of the country.
We nay bo told by the Democracy that they
were not against their couutry in the day of ite
terrible visitation; that they were tho beat
friends Indeed of the country, and that they
differed with us only upon meaiurei, and not
really open any degree of difference of patri
otic allegiance to tbe Constitution and the
Union.' While we are always glad to hear men
declare their attachment to the Constitution,
and aver.their love for it In the putt, yet we
woald greatly prefer that such Demoornts would
prove tbeir faitb by their works. Ii it possible
that a man can be a true friend of the Union
and the Couititution, when be declares that tbo
President hat do power, neither ii it hii doty,
' to call out the armiea of the Uuited Statea to
recover the public property, and to disperse the
armies of tbe rvbela, organized to set up a new
government witb a new oonatitulion and a new
President within Ihe bounda of the Union T Is
it possible for a man to be a true friend of tho
Uuion and the Conititutiun, when he deolnrea
that tbo President baa do power to lend the
armies of the United Slate into a State which
bat practically repudiated the Union, and ia
railing Iroopt to destroy the Union? Is it
peesible for man to be a true friend of tbo
Union and the Conititutiun, when he rejoice! at
defeats of the Union armiea, and ii oait down
by Ihe defeats of tbe rebel armies, as the Ore
gon Democrats did t Ia il likely that a ninn

INDORSING ritKSIDKNT JOHNSON.
On the 14th day of February, the Connect!
out'State Union Convention met and nomin
ated Gen. Joi. H. Huwley, of Hartford, for
Governor, Reiolutioni expressive of their con
fidence in President Johnmn, and pledging
their hearty support and likewise confidence in
the Union majority in Congress, were passed.
On the 7th nf February, the Democrntio State
Convention for the same Stato met and nom
inated James . English, of New Haven, for
Governor, and E. L. Hyde, of Hartford, for
Lieutenant Governor. Ueaolutiom passed in
donlug the restoration policy of I'rcsideut John
sun. On tbe 8th of February," (ho Demooratio
State Convention for the State of New Hamp
shire met and nominated J. I). Sinclair, of
Bethlehem, for Governor, and G. H. Price, of
Dover, for Railroad Commissioner. Tlie reso
lutions adopted indorse the President In his en
deavors to have tho Southern States represent
ed, and bis discountenance nf any amendment
tu the Constitution.
Now, what 1s to be done? What will Ihe
State Rights Democrat any to this? Will he
permit suoli treachery in the party to go on
any longer? If the Democracy don't atop
this, it will soon bo that the Democracy will be
carrying Ihe stun and stripes, and in other ways
io deporting themsolvea I lint we cannot tell
them from regular Abolitionists. In the Eaet,
their Conventions indorse Johnson just ai freely
ai de the Union Convention!. We cannot pre- I
vent the Democracy from coining over to our
ilde, and if O'Meara cannot it,p this "chang.
ing has " among bn men, they will soon all
be voting our ticket. ' O'Uara declared that
no Democrat could Indorao the President, and
here we see the Democritlio Conventions of two
States indorae him without a single qualifica
tion. Will nut Mr. O'Meara lee to it that the
matter ii explained ? An explanation, if you
please.
Mektino or the State Central Comiiit-
tkb. Tbe meeting of the Union Stain Central
Committee, on Inst Thursday, was character
ised by perfeot harmony nnd unanimity upon
all mattera before the uieetiug. ' Delegulei
were la attendance from all leotioua of the

as wai tbe case at the meeting of Ihe Demo
cratic Committee. Tbe aume basis of repre
sentation waa adopted a at tbo last Conven
tion, aud tbe next Convention will not bo larg
er than tbe last one, except In so much aa it
will be luoreaaed by tbe uew delegations from
new counties. Corvollia waa soleoted aa the
place tor holding the Convention, without a
ingle dissenting voioo. The Democracy were
very auxioui, fi r fear Ihe Union Cunvoulion
would be deferred until after their Couvoutiou
at Portland, but tbeir anxiety wai altogether
unnecessary, Not one of tho members nf the
Committee felt the least fear fur tho remit of
the next campaign, aud had therefore no hesi
tation in calling our Convention In advance.
and showing them our platform and standard
bearers. The harmony and euthusiaeiu uf Ihe
Committee betokens a triumphant victory at
the next election. The proceedings uf tbe
Committee may be found in another column ;
aud Johmon Democrats, and all Union men,
no matter what their former party relations
were, oan aee by the call that tliey are invited
to take bold and aid in npln Iding tbe Union
aud the snpremacy of tho lawa.

The late meeting of tbe Hoard of Managers of
the Agricultural Society waa not ouly one nf

important meeting! th Society has ever held.
Iu addition to the members uf the Uonrd pres
ent, many of (he members of the Society were
preaeul aud the dot p iutorest manifested iu
the Society by all present, shows that not only
the State Society, but also Ike cause which is
it ubjrot to promote, ia taking on a healthy and
prosperous growth. In personal appearauoe,
the Hoard of Managers would honor any cause.
All of them ar earneit,tboughtfiil, wide- awake,
iutelligeut men, and mauy of them arc of that
broad-beaded, deep-chested stamp of men
which boepeak great energy, foreeight and
force. They evidently mean business. We
congratulate the Society aud the friends af ag

to promote the outunion good of Ihe w bole State

TIIkTaTTLE PLAUl'G.
We know of no subject of much nioro inter
interest to our farmers than correct accounts of
that terrible cattle plague which it ii fenred will
yet visit America. Wo compile Iho billow ing
statements from tho report of tho commission
appointed by the British Government to in
quire into Iho nature nf tho plague, to ascerlain
tho best Hindu of treating affected uniinnls.niid
the regulations best adapted to prevent the
spread of the disorder.
The commissioner! report that the first case.
recognized iu that country appeared in the Inst
of June, 1605, and all tbo earlier cases nre
trncenble lo one of Ihe Loudon innrketa. Prom
thence it spread from county tu county, until
in October it extended to twente r.;u counties
ia England, two in Wales, e.xtccn in Scotland
and was still advancing.
The commissioner! notice report! which con
nect the outbreak nl the disense with importa
tions of cattle from Bevel nnd Holland respect
ively, but forbear lo express any decided opin
ion aa to tlie real origin uf the discneo. They
attach considerable importune to the fact that
ounsidcruhlp lumbers of cattle ontno every year
from Hungary nnd tbe steppe countries nf
Russia iu Europe, many of which aro diseased.
Reference ia made to the cattle murrains of the
years i:tJ7,aiul I IHO, but think it is not likely
that the present plague ii identical wi'.h those
of the yeura named i liu' iho commissioners
have uo doubt that the present plague is exact
ly bko tho one which devastated the herds of
England from 1745 to 1757.
The commissioner are unanimous that th
disvusu ia contagious, and that therefore sepa
ration of the diseased Iroiu the healthy-animals
ia to be mainly relied on to check the further
spread of the disease.
Of tlie wiltiessea testifying iu relation to tlie
effects of tbe plague, who believed that the
disease might be spontaneously generated. Ihey
all acknowledged that it was cerloinly emit
gioua.
The oonnuiiiloueri aee no reniou to question
the evidence which bua been produced before
them, proving that it ia the same disease as
that which hill lieeli lung known under tho
uauie or the rinderpest cattle-plague or
leppe murraiu.
The statistics show that up tu tbe Vilst Oelo
ber, a period of rather mure than four months
from the lime alien th disease first appeared
ia Islington, JJ.lirJ animals had beva attacked
aud uf these V 7U had died, .5.111) had bee
alaiightered, 707 ha I recovered, and 1.549 re-
uiaiuc d under treatment. The estimated uum-b,-r
uf homed cattle in Great Britain is about
7,000.000, io that loss than one per une thou
aud of sueh cattle hav died of th disease io
four months, or about one per day uf every
lliO.OOO bead. During the same period of foar
uionths.souud and healthy cattle of tbe average
value, aay A' 15 15. per head, have been Im
ported fioin foreign countries at the average
rale of I, IKK) per day, su that hy the operatiuu
of tbe present system, involving careful iospeo
tion at the ports nf landing, the gain to the
onuntry has been Ilk sound cattle for each one

pressing his pleasure at meeting su inllueiitiiil
a delegation.
Chicago, Feb. 11. Tbo President's speech
to the delegation of the Virginia Legislature,
yesterday, contained iwveral important decla
rations, conspicuous aiming which were the bil
lowing. Ho said :
I do not intend to sny anything personal
but nt tlie beginning of the recent gigantic
struggle Ihero were extreme men Nor ill und
extreme men SouUi. Tliia great fuult was
kept upon the anvil and hammered during tho
rebellion and has been hammered ever sinoo
the rebellion, and Ihero set-ins to hn a disposi
lion lo continue hammering until Iho govern
ment is destroyed I have opposed that syi
tem always. I oppose it now. The govern
ment ii certain of its power, and fur the main
tenance of the principle! of the constitution
has tali en hold of one extrcmo, itnd with tho
strong arm of physical power put down Iho re
bellion. This other extreme which stands in
the way must get out of it. The government
must Hand unshaken and unmoved upon iti
binds. Tho government must bo preserved.
I hope that all tho good people of lids country,
iu good faith and in the fullnesi of their henrli
will fix upon the- principles which you have
enunciated hero to day, for the maintenance ol
tho Union, laying aside every other feeling for
tho good of a common couutry. and with up
lifted fuoei tu heaven swear that our goods and
our altars and all shall sink into tho dust rath
er than that this glorious Union shall nut be
preserved. I am gratified to find the loyal
sentiment of the country manifesting itself in
these expressions, and now that an attempt to
destroy the Union has failed, I trust that we
shall go on, determined to preserve Iho Union
in ill original purity against ull nppusiti "
After mine further conversation between
members uf the delegation and tlie President,
Ihe latter mid :
'If now the cuuulry cnu arrive nt a point ut
which these States are all re-tored, each hav
ing its representation in tho national council,
with the Union restored, so that tru can pro
chum peace and good will among the peo
ple of Iho United S ntes, it will be to
me a very happy day. I care not what limy
bo said in taunt or jeer, but I tell you that
whenever that point is reached, tho inoiietire of
my ambition will have been filled."
Senator Williams. We take tho follow
ing haiidsumo pen and ink sketch of our Sen
ator, which is no more than just, from the
Richmond letter of the New York Herald,
made during Judge Williams' lato vieit to
Richmond :
Senator Williams is a gentleman of ciiiully
impressive appearance mid maimers, and to
tho eye litis tile measure of nil American Sen
ator. He is nearly if not quite six feet iu higbt,
slim but proportion de uf build, with nil ample
forehead, thick dark hair, dark complexion,
and possessed of a quick, moving and sharp,
penetrating eye. His utterance ii both intel
ligent and decisive, and hie reasoning logical,
close nod convincing. In peraouidinaiiucrs be
is wholly genial, entertaining und uirosuully in
elructlve, and presents the appeuranco of n
culm, iiiiiiupassioued aid thoughtful man of
pulilio a Hairs, skilled in dialectics und immov
able in his convictions. He is evidently a Rep
resciitntive man on Iho Senate Committee of
Reconstruction ; and to this reason is due bis
presence in Richmond on this nllivial tour.

Senator Stewart, nf Nevada, has introduced a

TlIK DeM(K HALT AllAlSST THE SCHOOLS.
The Democratic party baa always opposed the
common school system, and are still bitterly
opposed to a general system of education fur
poor and itch alike. At tbo rcceul icaeiou f
the Idaho Legislature, that body, which ia so
eminently Democratic got np a bill to abolish
tlie office of Superintendent of Publio Instruc
tion, upon Ihe sole ground that the uffi, e was
one lo be filled by appointment of the Govern
or, and lie might not appoint a Democrat.
Here is a rase where the educational interests
of a great and growing Territory Wire weighed
in tbi balance against Iho chancel of " the
parly" receiving a ceruin office. This is
midern Democracy for you. Have uot the
Democrats in the Oregon Legislature, fur the
paal four yean, uniformly opposed every school
law ! and do they not oppose every measure
Calculated lo Improve our common schools !
The friends of education must see to it that
Democrats be not allowed to obtain the Control
of our Legislature.
