V. M. Oflletnl Paper tor Oregon. FRIDAY. APRIL 10. 1S72. THE t'AMlMIUX PKSE1. 11)C rival candiilates for Con grens met in debate at Portland lat Monday uiglit, and before one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in that city, presented their opposing political views. The audience was attentive throughout, each speaker Iwing frequently cheer ed by partisan friends as his points were strongly made. 1 lie main points attempted to be made by Mr. Burnett were based on the capital ami labor question, the tariff, our national banking system and Gov ernment laial grants for internal improvements. The positions taken by Mr. Burnett on these questions were ably and successfully contro verted by Judge Wilson. On tlie question of the tariff, he proved that the Democratic party in its plat form in 1808 occupied the same po sition now advocated by the He publican party of this State; that if the tariff was higher now than in 1828, (as Mr. Burnett asserted) that it was no burden as there was forty times as much produce, etc., to raise it on ; and that more than half of the Democrats in Congress had always voted tor the tariff laws ; that local or State interest governed in that matter; that while the peo ple of Illinois, who wereall farmers, had instructed their Republican Congressmen to oppose the tariff', tlie people of Pennsylvania, who were all manufacturers, instructed their Democratic Representatives to advocate a high tariff; that with out a tariff there would lie a dearth of labor in the mills, the same as there now exists in our shipyards. On the question of land giants for internal improvements, which Mr. Burnett most earnestly opposed, Judge Wilson, in reply, read from the State Democratic platform of 1870 where the Democracy call ed on Government for just such a grant as Mr. Burnett now so earn estly denouced. But this was not all. Nearly every other principle, said Judge Wilson, enunciated two years ago was now ignored, ami many ot them utterly discarded. This change of front, Judge Wilson denounced as an e'lfort to gull the people who did not think fid' them selves. It made no difference, said Judge Wilson, whether thea) rail roads are held by monopolists or not, so long as they do goal to the country. If it were not for the land grant to the Northern and Califor nia railroad, monopoly as it is now called, it would not Ih? built at all. The position of Mr. Burnett on banking was that lie though paper money a curse, and National Banks were only intended to destroy the liberties of the jieople. 1 le thought there was no reason why the coun try could not get along without pa per money, as it did beforfthe war. That period, "liefore the war," is not so long passed, but what fbme ot us can remember whether there was any very great destitution of pa perinotif jr t Uiat time. Weivinem ber seoing a good del in circu'ation, we think, issued under I tanking laws made by the different States. We hlM'viipt .fiTgottori hdv insecure s4Se of i was, how often at a . dis count, and how liable to break at ajjy rnp. ' Contrast the pajicr ntotoy issued by these State banks, (EVild cat currency" much of it weut by the name of), their insecu r with our National Bank paper, its sicurity based on tlie credit of the Nation, and what is the con clusion ? "In regard to the home std law, Judge Wilson said the only veto President Buchanan ever gave-was to that law. Ju regaixl to corruption, he challenged the Democracy to name one on their side who had ever been pun ished tor any crime. Ho spoke Jw $12,000,000 defaulter ami tlitef bt NW York, Tweed, being l$f Mutate Senate by 12,000 maiorttv after tlteaa frauds had'enmn to'ljgU Them arB-sorae the prominent points made by Judge Wilson in refutation of positions as sumed by -Mr. Burnett, as we read them reX)i ted in the daily press of Portland. As these gentlemen will be with us this evening, let every one attend and hear for himself! A large mass meeting was held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York, on the night of the lOlh, at which resolutions eulogizing the Administration and urging the re nomination of Grant and Colfax j were adopted with hearty applause. I Henry Ward Beecher was the prin cipal speaker. He snke in high I terms of the honesty and success of j Grant's Administration, and said I that Grant had fulfilled all the promises he had made in his letter of acceptance in 18G8. lie said l that though a military man, Grant was the first President to treat the j Indians with humanity. Jle consul- ereil the Administration, as a whole, , a noble success, and lxdieved the ! old Republican organization destin ed to la? led to large victories m tlie future. He said if he thought the Cincinnati Convention should force j the Philadelphia Convention to take a purer and more advanced platform, he should be glad, but he was op- i posed to so dividing the Republi cans as te enable tli? Democrats to get into power- He said that Sena tors Sumner, Schiirz and Trumbull could not make a new party. Governor G rover, so far, in his srhemes and plotting to secure his nomination to the Tinted Slates Senate, has carried a full hand. So slyly and vet expertly has he man ipulated the cards, as to deceive ! some of the "very elect." He played i a trump card even in the house of J Nesmith's friends. He played double j 'on Slater, on Helm. He mado promises to Burnett's friends. Hay ! den, it seems, was the only aspirant j whom he had not tickled. We : know not what Helm, Slater and , Havden may do, for these Demo- F i 'erats are peculiar, but Grover lias "skunked the trio. New London, Connecticut, has a doctor who has adopted the popu- lar method of going about from j I house to house hawking his nos i trnms and his medical skill like an ; ' old tinkejLof debilitated wares. He i I opens the door and sings out,! "Anybody in here gut the rheunia-1 tistn, coughs, colds, neuralgia, heart J i disease, small pox, or anything else?" On receiving a negative answer he retorts, "(Had of it," ; bangs the door and moves on. All the universities and colleges j ! in the country will have to stand I from under Stephen Andrews' Pan-; tarehftl establishment when it once goes into working order. His uni versity, which has been registered for corporation at Washington is to teach everything from shoe-mak-ing to astronomy. It is to have nineteen first class and ten thous and second class professorships, It is to lie hoped that this discrimina tion is not made in favor of second class education. A Syracuse genius has discovered a method by which a water wheel can be run without water. For water he substitutes small iron balls, which run into the buckets of the wheel, and being discharged Mow into a receptacle provided for the purpose are carried up by an elevator propelled by the wheel, to do service as long as the turning of the wheel is desired. 7'he boys will do well to watch the success of this device, as it may show how they can elevate themselves to any given height by the straps of their boots. And then, the use of balls once successful, water might be used in the same way a plan of great importance to many mills in a -dry time." People may cry "hold ! enough!" I till their lungs are exhausted, but ' the crop of Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates bids fair to ! grow no smaller. William Allen, j of Ohio, and ex-Governor Knglish, ' ot Connecticut, are the last reckless champions to slue their castors in the arena. Kentiickians can not understand why their land, which is as fertile and conveniently situated aslsny in the United States, should advance so slowly in value. Let them rub the mould of decayed political ideas and institutions out of their eyes, aiid they will see clearly itoongh. ' Nevada has extensive and valua ble Iwrax fields. Clams and crickets furnished a feast tor Puget Sound Indians. California is conceded to be "great shakes" now. Diamonds have been found in California recently. Cyrus W. Field is back from his long Kuro)eau trip. The celebrated Father Gavazzi is coming to this country. -- Baltimore's new City Hall will cost $2)00,000. Boston, with a population ot 'J,ri0, 000 inhabitants, has "27,500 houses. Tennyson is said to lie dreaming away bis life in a cloud of tobacco smoke. A Petalmna belle eats onions for the purpose of discouraging the aU teutions of an infatuated lover. Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales have lieen invited to attend the Boston Jubilee. A Wisconsin editor speaks of a wind which "just sat on its hind lejrs and howled." Lemon-aid Queen Victoria has given a pension to the widow of the late Mark Lemon, who was so great in Punch. Tennessee hires out convicts to work on the railroad, which is thought to look like ottering a pre mium for them to make tracks. Horace Greeley projioses to write an essay on the proper time togratt saddle trees. They can only be successfully propagated by early sowing. A minaturc steam engine, built of gold, set with diamonds, and standing on a three cent piece, is one of the attractions in the Schen ectady Jasonic Bazar. A Richmond man writes to tlie Dwpttkli) of that city, that the re port of his death by drowntng,wliicli it published, is "extremely inaccu rate." They have some ancient houses at Hock Island. A lady there mourns the loss of a ring which had beau in her family for 527 years. N. P- Willis used to object to water on the ground that "ever since the deluge it has tasted un pleasantly of sinners." Swindlers tried to seduce a wes tern man on a railroad train into betting tliat he could not open a jiatent padlock which they carried about. He took the liet and open ed the lock with a sledge hammer. A writer says that more than 150,0(H) acres of the best timber in America are cut every year to sup ply the demand for railway sleepers alone. In a single year the loco motive's ot the United States con sumed $00,000,000 worth ot wood. Geii. Spinner has received steci mens of the new safety check, the face ot which is printed in fugitive ink tints. Any attempt to alter the writing, either by mechanical or chemical appliances, instantly re moves the tint and discovers the effort to tamper with the check. 7'he Buffalo Connnrrciol thinks it is strange to see how Democratic journals fry to make us belicvethat there is any such thing as the Dem ocratic party alive. We think our Buffalo friend must mistake for an attempt of the above description what is only intended as a demon stration of respect- tor the corpse. Jr. Klerck, a merchant of San Mateo, Ca!., was shot by an assas sin, and killed at bis own door on the night of the 11th hist. Traces of the assassin have boon discover ed. JuelRndiguation and excite ment existed. Knllipaoha, a Turkish nabob, is cutting a wide swath in Vienna so ciety at present. He recently gave a fete at an expense of $40,000, at which, among other things; num bers of cold pheasants were served the eyes of which were picked out by the assiduous servants, placed on the ladies' napkins, and found to be real emeralds. The effort of the Democracv in j this State to array labor against capital, is wrong. There is no nat- uralantao-onism ex Ktin between the two. Thev are naturally depend - cut, and equally necessary to the health and well being of society, I Ins position, of Democracy is in - tended to pander to the prejudices s . , ,. , i ' '.t of that class ot mind, who, either ' ' tun ignorant to understand the nat ural relation which renders capital and laltor so necessary to hu man happiness, or who desire sire something for which they have no desire or ability to return an equivalent. At the sitting ot the tribunal for the settlement of the Alabama 1 claims on the 15th, Great Britain and the I'nited States were only j represented the former by Lord Tenterdeu, Taylor and Bernard, the latter by Bancroft, Davis, Cashing and Barnes. Documents were de livered to the Secretary of the tri bunal for transmission to the arbi trators. How inconsistent and brazen for Democracy to lie prating about "one man power," one man influ ence in coutroling the commerce of! the State, at least in the valley, when they alone are responsible for it, if it exists. Pomeroy was right when he said that "Democracy was j on the road to the devil." 7'he late Horace L. Kent, of Richmond, Virginia, a staunch Union man, who had a daughter devoted to the "lost cause," re minded her of some of the beauties : of her devotion by making the fol ; lowing liequest in his will : "I give ! her the following, viz : 7'wenty-tive J bonds of K., I'. & Co., $25,000; I eighteen servants emancipated hv ! secession, $10,000; insurance and bank stocks, $1 5,000 ; all my claims arainst the so-called Confederate against the so-called Confederate government for the wanton, cruel , and wicked destruction of my iiroi- : erty on the third of April, 1HG5, i 200,000.
