IT. S. Official Paper 'for Oregon. SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1870 A Great General Dead. General George IL Thomas died in San Francisco on Monday night last. At the time of his death he was command ing the Military Division ol the Pacific. General Thomas was born in Virginia in 1816, and entered the army in 1840. He was among the few noble men of southern birth educated at the expenses of the country who refused to desert the noble old flag in the hour of its greatest peril. He fought through the rebellion, from its inception to its close, and the recital of . his glorious achievements in defense ef his country's liberties against rebels and arch-traitors, forms a bright and thrilling chapter in the history of the great rebellion, unsurpassed in gran deur and glory by the achievements ot any of the great soldier chiefs. The great chief is dead, and true men all over the land mourn the loss of a great soldier, a patriot and a true man. . Kelly on Repudiation. In a re cent' speech at Portland, Col. Kelly, for years past a standing candidate for the United States Senatorship, Representive in Congress, or Governor, declared that if the bondholders would not con sent to the repudiation of half the debt by "equitable adjustment," the next de mand - would be for the repudiation of the whole of it. Why couldn't this honett exponent of "the only principle F Democracy" tell the truth, as Fay would say, once, just once, and acknowl edge that he, as well as the great body of the party in Oregon, were for repudi ating every dollar of the national debt ? "Equitable adjustment" means exactly this, and nothing less. And all the twisting and squirming of old worn out Democratic party hacks will fail to con Tin ce the people that "equitable adjust ment" is anything else but repudiation, or that it is anything else but dishonesty ; and no man who is an honest, upright man, can conscientiously vote with a party which openly and unblushingly avows such a principle. 1 The Main Idea. A certain aspirant for Senatorial honors in the Democratic ranks, during the session of the late. Democratic State Convention in this -city, tried to impress upon the minds of . bis brethren that policy demanded a platform that the masses could not ut xierstand, or, in other words, a platform that would admit of a variety of inter pretations. He pronounces the platform . . -t . .. -.- auopieu as jusc ine tning. vv uiie there is no disputing the fact that the leaders of the party are in favor of repudiation, there is still an honest element in the Democratic party of sufficient strength to defeat a ticket placed upon a fiat-footed, outspoken, repudiation platform. And this was the argument used against .adopting the eighth section of the plat form as" originally offered. Not that the principle of repudiation was dishonest or morally wrong. No. They endorsed it But there were certain men in the party who were troubled with conscientious scru ples, and who believed that to endorse repudiation would be to cast reproach and dishonor upon the fair name of our Gov ernment. And for fear of driving off this vote, and thus meeting certain and overwhelming defeat, they were in favor of covering up the real and true meaning of the resolution, by a thoxo of honesty. Sat honest men will not bb deceived by Any such clap-trap. , Substitute.- As it is claimed by come Democrats that the substitute for the, 8th section of the Democratic plat ' form, offered by Mr. Cochrane, of Lane, did not look to repudiation of the na tional debt, we append it below, bo that .all may read for themselves : That as the people of the United States onght never to rebuilt to be saddled with a permanent debt, to be banded down from one generation to another, to eat oat their substance and sink them into slaTery, therefore, we are opposed to the funding -of the so-called national debt, except upon an equitable adjustment between the bond - nvioci muu miw pwfAiw, will n, npuil IW MJ1VUQI O I coin originally paid, and the amount received and the immunities enjoyed by the holders thereof since their issue. " The substitute was lost 61 for. and S3 against. Taking the assertions of a ' majority of the speakers, that the inter est already paid has more than cancelled the' original cost of the bonds, as the basis upon which to form a judgment I upon what is meant by " equitable ad justment," we are irresistably driven to the conclusion that it means a clean and i entire repudiation of the bonded debt 1 ' 1 -1 J iT.

The importers couldn't pay, and the col ony . f'busted," cominc back to their I homes in Lipn. . . then every upon faith while CHRONICLES Chapter 1. How the unterrified ot the land met in the city of Albany. How the people loved them. How they communed to gether. What they wrote upon parch ment. How fear came over them. How they became fearfully and won derfully mad. How they chose rulers. How tbt y dispersed. How the people rejoiced because they were gone. And it came to pass in the beginning of the second year of the reign of Ulys ses, that there assembled in a certain city called Albany, certain of an unterri fied and unwashed tribe called Democrats, that they might hold sweet communion, and choose from among their number those who shall hold the loaves and fishes. How the musicians of the city on the morning of the day made a loud noise, as of sounding brass and tinkling cym bals, as though their hearts were glad, though verily they had been bribed by pieces of silver. Yet the people ot the city were filled with love for the unterri fied. Yea, verily, one Robert the Irvine, who was Sheriff of the land, so loved one Turk, who had been sent hither from afar, that he put chains about him and put him away into a dark place. And the people reasoned among themselves saying, verily, verily, the rest should be made go with him. And it further came to pass that when they had mot they chose one Curry to be High Priest, and one Lane to make rec ord of the aces of the unwashed. And after each one had risen up and talked a . little and showed himself and sunk back again amidst the multitude, the High Priest chose one from portion ot the land to write parchment the reasons of the that was within them. And they were writing the unter- terified departed into a place called Bas coru'swhere they made merry over wine and strong drink. And when they were full they returned. And Io, one McAr thur, who wanted to be a Judge in the land, arose and. read from off the parch ment what had been written. And when he had read a portion he would stop and the multitude would beat upon the floor with the leather which covereth their feet, for they were glad that be was done. And some would cry aloud, for they had no leather upon their feet. And he read off of the parchment that the tribe had been good and faithful, and of the sinfulness of the Radicals. Yet verily the people would not have krown it had not the parchment told them. And he furthermore read how the Democrats feared the Ethiopian ' and the Aborigine, and the man from China. Yea, verily, they were sore afraid that they could be no better than were these manner of men. And he read 13 portions. And when he was done reading, lo and behold one J aster who was John's son, arose and spake against the stu portion, tor verily Jasper was not entirely corrupt. Now it had already came to pass that there had been a war in the land of Jonathan. And Jonathan had overcome his enemies because of the silver he had borrowed of the tribe called Bondholders: Now the unwashed hated the Bondholders because they had loaned Jonathan the money, and they tried to persuade Jona than to repudiate. This it was that waa written on the parchment. And it came to pass that after Jasper had delivered himself and had subsided, that others arose and spake. And some likened Jasper unto a beast that has long ears and that brays, and Jasper likened them into something worse. And the people wondered, for they saw that the unwashed were beginning to utter truth. And among those who arose was one Benjamin, whose surname is Dirty Shirt, because that article is never clean. And Jasper's counsels availed but little. And when they had quar reled about the space of four hours, they departed. And on the morning of the next day they again gathered together. And they cast about for one to go to the mighty city called Washington, to make war upon the Radicals. And some spake of James the Slater. And the High Priest com manded them saying : If it so be that you want James to go, cry out in a loud voice. And they did so, and James was chosen. Then they cast about for one to rule over the land. Now when the tribe called Radicals meet to cast lots, they write the names of the elect upon bits of parchment, but insomuch as the greater part of the Democrats cannot write, they cry aloud. And some cried for Grover and some for Chapman, and some for John the Fiddler. But the most cried aloud for Grqver; therefore he was chosen. And they furthermore chose Stephen the Chadwick to be Secretary of the land ; one Fleiscbner, of the tribe of Is rael, to hold tho pieces of silver, and one Patterson, to print upon parchment. And when they had divided the loaves and the fishes, they departed to their lands-of abode. And when they were gone the people rejoiced greatly, and there was peace in the land. CHRONICLER.
