FRIDAY, APRIL .
Record of tbo Itipohltciin forty.
The record of the Kepublican
party since it catpa ii(tb power, is
one to which it rnaj ever revert
with pride and c.ihunv!nation. The
brightest pages of political history
fail to chronicle a (dearer typed
official wisdom, vlrtuo and sagacity,
than is now attested in imperishable telegraph lino from the Missouri
letters npon the voluminous pages river to the IVific ocean, thus rcn
of Republican history. The public dering that vast extent of country
measures and acts of the RepublU
cau liarty in the interests of eivili-
zation, for the protection and en-
largement of the blessings of civil
liberty, securing equal rights to
every inhabitant, without regard to
raee, color or condition; having
saved the nation from death and
infused into its vitality a more vig-
orous liia, a mow perfect union;
having rescued the millions of
slaves from k'artlcss Democratic
oppression, and given to them equal
vigltts ; having extended the hand 1
of legislative sympathy and encbur-1
agement to the laborer and the xor,
by opening to their possession and
ownership the whole area of the
public, domain, except a small poT,
tion granted to induce the construe-
tion of roads; these, ami kindred
acts of wisdom and enlightened
statesmanship, extending frtim the
development of the physical inter-
ests of. the country and people, to
the intellectual and moral culture
of the latter, and this, too, in spite
of the most strenuous and bitter
opposition of the Democratic party
at almost every step, all furnish
laml-marks to which the Republi-
can iiarty can point with pride, and privilege; it passed humane Indian

portents of gloom and irretrievable

raised, a navy was soon built, tlie ;

victories won, and confidence aud j
lasting peace in the end secured
To accomplish these results, the loft
icst courage and ability, as well as
the trnest patriotism, were evoked.
The history of modern politics fifr-
nishes no parallel instance of such

uie ami grana result nowiug-owr
from circumstances so inauspicious ,
and discouraging. Tlie Republican
party, not only in its conquest of
the rebellion, but in ail of its re
construction and other Congression
al Acts and Resolutions, has ever
aimed to promote tlie best interests
of the entire nation, by striving to
render the condition of the whole
people freer, happier aud more
prosperous, With this object in
view, it liberated the slave; it
Itassed an act to protect all persons

Some of our Democratic cotem
poraries are very much exercised
over tlie "orthography and syntax
oftlte Republican platform," which
wm paused by the late Convention
at Portland. It is a healthy indi
cation for the interest of educa
tion in this State to see these jour
nals thus engaged. The record of
the Democratic party on the educa
tional question, in its relation at
least to Public Schools, is none of
the brightest, either in this State or
in California. Just at this time the
Democrats in tlie California Legis
lature are maintaining a position of
opposition to educational matters,
especially those which favor unlver-
sal education. The compulsory plan
is peculiarly obnoxious to the
Democracy down there, as it ap-
plies in its provisions to the colored
boy and the Indian as pertinently

rather than iavor a measure which
will educate a'l children alike,
j Here in Oregon, a Democratic Leg-
Mature possessed such a high a-
prec iatioii of the educational inter-
ot the Nate, and took such a
I deep interest in the woltareot the

of the jwor man, is unwarranted :
' by facts, aisl comes with about as
much semblance ot consistency j
from the Democracy, as an asser-
tion or pretension to truth would
.come from "Old Awk." It is a t
matter of Congressional record that j
every attempt which has been made j
by the Republican party in Con-;
gress with a view to reduce taxa-
tion, has been opposed most ear-
nestly by Democratic members ;
but notwithstanding this persistent
opposition, the Republican party
has, by its own inherent strength, ;
expunged from the tax-lists some
tvdve thousand artkk. thus re-!
paling direct taxes to the amount j
of over $80,000,000. The public
debt is a Democratic legacy tlie

Four villains went to the house
of a farmer named Shetle, living in
McCraken county, My-., and render
ed him insensible by forcing him to
take an opiate. They then entered
the houe and attacked the wife and
daughter, the latter aged fifteen.
Tlie women resisted and the daught
er was knocked down three times,but
Anally both were tied down and out
raged. Two of the perpetrators of
this hellish act have been arrested,
and the exasperated neighbors are
in search ot the others. If ever
mob law were justifiable, its exer
cise in this case would be appro
priate.
