Ed. Register-: As a lever of fair
play, and as a Democrat, I wish to offer
in defense of sundry accusations made
against Mr. A. C. Jones, candidate for
County Clerk, "a word."
Mr. Jone3 is charged with having
bolted the nomination of Mr.- Stout in
1839, and, by stumping and writing,
essayed to defeat him, claiming, .how
ever, to bo an uncompromising Demo
crat. Now, suppose he did ; this is a
free country, and A. C. had the right to
cast his vote against Stout, even though
it compromised his political status.
A. C. is also charged with political
fugleing in Yamhill county. That is,
he slightly ruptured the Democracy in

and thorough officer. Having faithfully

Judge Humason and other prominent
members of the Demooratic Conventiou
lately held in this city, declared publicly
and privately that they understood
-"equitable adjustment" to mean the re
pudiation of about half the bonded debt,
And if the bondholders were not satisfied
with this, they were for repudiating the
whole of it. Indeed, they intimated that
the adoption of the idea of "equitable
adjustment" would eventually .lead, to
the repudiation of the whole debt. All
the leading men of the Democratic party
in this State, as well as the leading
journals, with one exception, have
adopted this idea. "Equitable adjust
ment," then, means "repudiation," and
no other construction can truthfully be
put upon it.
Democrat ts. Hekai,d. The Dem-
wrat of this city goes after the Herald,
of Portland, beoauso of its repudiation

leaders oa the subject, as "arrant 'non

Jamaging to the party," and intimates
that if the Herald continues its advo
cacy of the repudiation heresy, it will
not receive the vote of the Democracy
This rebuke has caused the Herald to
incontinently "dry up:" and it will not
dare to say. "repudiation" once during
the balance ot the canvass.

. Mr. D. M. Thompson, candidate for
Coroner, will make a most efficient and
active officer, possessing qualifications
that fit him for any office to which the
sovereign people may choose to elevate
him.
Our candidates for the State Senate
are' Mr. Hiram Smith, of Harrisburg, and
Mr. E. E. Wheeler, of Seio, both gen
tlemen of acknowledged talent and ex
perience, who have the interests of the
whole State, but especially Linn county,
at heart. They arc men of broad and
liberal views, who in business have made
life a success, and pre worthy of the con
