1'. s. Ollirtnl I'nper for OnifOii. FRIDAY, AFKII. 48, 1872. Tilt: 1HM I s.MO BKTVFKKSi WII. M i.l HITIXKIT. T.ii-t Friday evening the eapa- ms court room was tilled to replc - l j . ii with an an. lie; ee of ladies and gentlemen, to listen to Judge Wil son and Jehu Huniett, rival can didates for Congress, disi'iiss the po litical issues c!' the two rties. A more intelligent and respectful au dience was never assembled at a political gatheriii; in tins place. At about eight o'clock, , juiKSK w.soji came forward amidst hearty ap plause and opened the discussion. Me requested tlw audience, at the outset, not to&plaud,as he desired p. occupy the whole time in show i. g up the Democracy in their true light, 'i'l is he did most eft'ectually and scathingly before he got through. If ever a poor, biped mor-j j ta! was dissected hone from bone and reduced down to a ghastly heap of superlative nothingness, John I'.unutt was the man. Wilson dis mantled him from stem to stern, scuttled him, took away his rudder, punctured big holes into hira.and then left him to gurgle in water and flounder in the waves. Judge WiNon .lid not propose to discuss the tariff of 1828, unless called up by Mr. Ihimett. He pro posed to discuss the piatrorms mine i wo parties, the living issues of the campaign; The Democracy claimed io he in favor of a strict construe lion of the Constitution; but did not they do their Utmost to destroy it in tiie late rebellion? Referred to Democrats in New York and elsewhere attempting to strike down the loyal soldiers of the Republic, )emoerats throughout the country sympathized with, and encouraged these lawless acts, ilsou demon strated bvtlie nlatform of the De mocracy of two years ago, that they did not then entertain the same opin ions on the 14th and loth Amend ments that thev do now. Then, the Amendments were void ; now, they admit their validity;'1 Tn this they have departed, and the Judge branded them as the new departure jiarty. ihe Democracy admit the validity of the Amendments, bntde i v the right the President to en- j I. rcc its TOVIS ons under the autt Ku Ktux laws strict construction ists of the Constitution, providingit favors the Kit-Ktnx in their out rages. Burnett was opposed to punishing the Ku Khis. Wilsonde-, elaredthatthe President had asgood ..." a right to suspend the writ ot ht. ..,( earptts under tho Constitution, as Congress has to declare war or make money. Ilesaidthat Burnett had dodged him at Salem on his position on the .Vmondmeuts, leav ing two-thirds ofhis speech until the last. He now challenged him to -how how lie stood. He alluded to the growth and prosperity of (ioor 'ia and other Southern States un der the reconstruction measures of ( ongress, which the 1 lemocracy had s.i persistei.tly opposed, ( in the Financial question, Judge W ilson proved that the Democracy occupied dillerent ground (him that advocated two years ago. Then, tlie public debt was traudulent, thev thought, and a burden too in lolcrable to 1 bocue, Now, to pay the debt is right, but they tliiiujc their plan ihr paying it is the only ..rivet one. On this juetlou, Vil- 11 in the course of his speech chal- Jeugeil l.uruett to prouuee n single , instance wnerc an individual had lo.t adollar bv tlie National hanks. On the I nest ion (if Internal Itn- proveineiits, Juflge Wilson said the , J letnocraoy of (bur years ago in this State were in favor of laml grants for them, lie read from , their platform in eorroljoration. He charged upon Burnett that in the diwanrion at rortland the otlier day, he said that he was opposed to , auy more land grants for internal improvements. (Here Judge Wil- hoii requested Mr. llurnett to au-1 j Rtrer whether lie had rnsde tliat I statement or not. Huniett emphat I ically (lefiicd bavin; said it. Judge i Wilson then proved it on liim by j reading from the Oreyotiian and fftmtd. Huniett said that (irant occupied the same position; Wil- son load from Grant's own words that he was iuelined to that ! opinion, but was willint; to lie 1 mSM in that mutter bvthp wishes of Congress.) "Wilson charged that in the late Convention at the Dalles, the Committee on Resolutions bad agiwl on a resolution favoring in- tenia! improvements, but that it was crossed out bv some oih1 before the platform was adopted, and 1 that the Secretary of the Conven- : ,; mid pivbably tell something about it, as he had read it, lie showed what great liencfits had been reaped in this valley through the instriiineutalitv ot the railroads in increasing the value of the land, etc., and then contrasted the condi tion of Eastern Oregon with it land here 825 tier nor, land there 83 poraor. and then showed iow seltish the spirit of I )omocraov tl.iit opposes t... grant to Grand Honde valley and others the same ! facilities for internal improvements which have resulted so beneficially here. If sent to t 'ongresa, he would ; Obtain every dollar ho could tor the purpose of building railroads in Oregon, especially in Eastern and Southern Oregon, where land will always lie worthless without them. Lot the railroads receive the money . for these lauds, but let the Govern" merit issue the patent rights I p .ii the subject of monopolies, i which the Democracy tune their harps so loud about, Judge Wilson WasinoM scathing in his exposition of Democratic inconsistency, lie gist tor 3Ir. Holladlay's was no a; 'i wronp, if lie had any ; would op ' niv wrong and be in favor of pun- ishing it wherever it existed. Mr. i Holladay, by his financial ability ! and enterprise, had done immensely ,' in building up the material interests of the State. Wished thev bad such men in Eastern Oregon, lie em, trusted the enterprises of Ilolla jday with the monopoly measures enacted and how supported by the Democracy the Litigant law; the 1 Oaial and Lx'k swindle; the Swamp land iniquity, etc., proving I by uncontrovertible tacts their swin dlingand oppressive characters. Aa 1 the statement that Mr. Holttdav : oontfolled the action of tho Uepuli- j ban party, ho had not known him ! lersonallv, until four weeks ago. le ,v.,s n(,t jv Holladav's oret-1 ereuce as a candidate tor Congress. I ( in the unction of Tariff, Judge 1 Wilson was in favor of protecting ' the home industries Of the neople, 1 m and of a revenue tariff for the sup port ot the Government.

He saiil he ditl not propose to discuss the Constitn- Uonal question. Hisirty olieyed the laws. Told an antediluvian ' anecdote alxnit Xoah. Judge Wil- I sou was the only one who laughed, iTriod to show that .the Bepublican party difiered iu it present platform i form two tears ago; but failed. latched iirto monojiolies. Said that j lieu Holladay had no right to champion the ennsc of any party just as if becoming wealthy and in fluential destroyed a man's freedom of choice. His tirade on Frotladajr! was lung and foolish. In the midst of this he asserted that the Legisla ture had the power to regulate the price of transportation on railroads ; but when Wilson challenged him for the proof, he had none to ad-' dnee. Was in favor of railroads, but opposed to being bound hand j and foot ; but hilcd to show where ' any railroad in Oregon bound him, or anyKidy else hand and H.ot. lie approved the Litigant law, and said a loss amount was allowed for printing than before strange that ! i alitornia slioulit repeal Iter law then. Said the Swamp land bill '. was the. beat in the country of course he meant for the ring. Then pitched into the National Hank; said it was infamous, because it t!i vors monopolies. Here lie said ,' something about swearing Ins son I upon the altar ot opposition to the Rational Bank. From there he slid' fc the Ku Klu.v question. Horehe was in his element. Vituperation and pathos were indiscriminately Comniingled usual, here. He drank oftener than Here his arms flew likefteils; his body undulated more frequently lie became redder in the face. We were not supriscd that he should do so, for the Democracy have never withheld their sympa thies from the "rebs," and Ku Kins arc nothing else. Judge A. il sun asked him whether he was in favor of amnesty? Burnett said I e was. It is not in your platform, said Wilson, your party is Opposed to it. Mr. Huniett then made some allusions to State rights, and th'n broil it his remarks to a close, It was one of the weakest, flimsiest efforts we ever heard from an aspirant fin' Congress. He ig nored entirely the questions in- volv.cd in the 14th and 15th Amendments;; and others which Wilson pressed upon him. He was completely flawed out at every point and everybody saw it. After this Judge Wilson oceu-i pied his allotted time in closing the delate, after which the audience dispersed. fullv convinced that Burnett has a poor cause, and that he ona never-hope to succeed in a debate with ludire Wilsn. It must have struck every one that Burnett would lie no credit to the State in Congress, no matter what oninions he iniirht entertain, as hi mental endowments are ipute too ! anal', Foucs of Imaoination ....i f.. i ..,...,.... i....... -An tei'ini'il trii'iio .it cmw he.'inl inin-li ot (he nfeakull brb))ertid4 of the waters of ! a ccctttin spring -ome (Qntiiuce from i I where she resided.
