such as to coiiiuuiiiil ihcunnmbatioiinf
the great majority of lire American people,
nnd justly entitle it to Ihe eontl leniv and
commendation of every true Republican.
3. We regard the payment ol our nut ion
Ill debt. In loll compliance with all legal
obliirations to our ere liters everywhere,
und In accordance with the true letter ami
spirit of its contranlnK.as no kingcr a
question in issue: but Hint we may lie
clearly nnders nod, we denoumr all forms
and dojireosof repudiation of tliat debt, as
urliiuicd by ihe lieniocratle niny and its
svninuliisvrs. as not only national calami
ties, hut positive crimes, ami we will never
mnsunt to a suspk-ion of luck of honor or
jusiice in its complete sstislitcttmi.
4. We admit of no distinctions between
citizens, whe'lierof nativ eorforei(n birth:
and therefore we tivor the nrantin ol
full uiunestv to the pmvileof I hose Suites
latelv in relK'llion : and we here pledge
the full ami ctttoctlvo prom km of our
chil laws to all persons voluntarily com
ing lo or reiddlni? in our hind.
ij. We favor Ihe eiiomintsemrot of rall
nw.ls bv the General Movemutunt of the
I nited "States, anil hold tliat such ills
sil ion should lie made of I he public lands
as shall secure the mine to actual settlers
only, in(iiantities not exiiT'llaitltiOacres.
6, That wliik1 wean' in favor of a MV
mte for the support of the tiviiomltiovern
inent, by duties upon imports sound poll-
v reqntres such ndjustnient of those dn
tieson imports a to enniuraxo the devel
opment .of the industrial Inlerests of the
a link' Country ; ami we rccoiumend that
policy of national exchange which secures
to Ihe working men litH-ml wages; toaa
ricoitmv remunerative prices 1 to mechan
ics and iiKiiinBictnrersnnadeii!erenl
for their skill, lalxirand enterprise, and to
tin' Nation Commercial prosierlly ami In
deiwnrlenoe. J, We believe that popular duration Is
the sole true Iwslsand liniie ol a free gov
eniment, and shall ever oiuiosc any diver
sion of, or Interference with the common
school funds or binds in this state, for any
other than their legitimate purpose, and
we condemn the act of favoritism by the
Inst Legislature whereby two hundred
thousand dollars, taken from the school
fund, were g ranted to a coriiorntion con-si-iiiiK
mainly of Dctnoenittc leaders, and
jwrtv favorite, for i ho construction ol a
work which another coiomlion, entirely
sound nnd ntsiionslble, offered toconstruc't
lor seventy-five thousand dollars less; and
that we are in lavorof the passage by the
Legislature of an efficient school law! such
as shall secure to all citizens of Ottr Slate a
good common school education.
X. We find no terms sufficiently strong
to express our disapproval of those acts of
the last Legislature whereby the swamp
lands belonging this S ate have liecn
taken from the needy settlers, and Riven
without limit or proper competition in
price lo the land grabtier aad speculator;
whereby the emoluments nnd salaries of
State olflccrs have linen unconstitutionally
Increased, and the taxes Increased ihous
ands ol dollars by the ureal ion of new and
unnecessary offices nnd salaries, for the
purpose of providing for party favorites;
anil whereby the ell liens of our metropo
lis have lieen deprived of and denied the
rlirlit of controlllna their police unihorit v.
And we enally condemn tlH- administra
t ion of our S: ate oithvrsand lawsas ext rav
uuaut, reckless. Illegal and destructive.
and we rightly elinrge all those results as
the acts of the Pemocratlc party.
0, We are In favor of Ihe United States
giving to each honomhly dlac.liargl sol
dier wlio served in the armies of the Unit
ed States to put down the rebellion a war
rant font homestead of lilo acrcsof public
lands,
111. That we demand Ihe repeal of (be
socnllcd litigant act, which was devised lo
supimrt panjier Detnocmtic ncwsmis ix at
the public expense.
II. Tliat the Republican party of this
S'atc are in favor of the General (Jovern
inent extending aid toward building a
railroad from l'ortland, tlregon, lo Salt
lake City, mid from Jackson county lo
Huiuisildt, and we hereby pledge onr 'par
ty representatives to the support of the
Mine.
II. Tlmt the indiscriminate licensing of
persons io sen spiruuous liquors wttnout
iHdng placed under proper rcspnnsihtliltes
for the abuse thereof, havina been found
by experience lo promote the growth of
crime ami niupcrisin, aim tncreiiy to seri
ously increase the rate of taxation, Ihe
l!epiiblkn fttry recognizes the right and
duly of the lawmaking power to prevent
and limit 'tb.! evils and abuses of such sale,
so far aS concerns the public good and Is
consistent with Individual Ubortv, by re
fusing in license other than law" abiding
and responsible persons, who can furnish
sulllcient sureties for good conduct.
13. That the RcttiihTlcan party of Ore
gon Is In favor of obtaining assistance
f rrim the tienoral tioverament for t hn
stinclion of a wagon roa-l from tln dry of
rort land to t he 1 alios, recognizing this as
a most important and necessary linurove
ment for the s. ate.
14. We affirm that the eoMnnanoe In
power ol the Republican party istbe only
sure preservation of national peace nui'l
prosperity, and for reasons therefor we
point to Its brilliant record in the bite civ
il war; to a complete nationality; to a
united sisterhood of Uilrty-eeven states;
to our Territories rapidly warming Into
State life ; to n nation freed from Ihe taint
of human slavery ; to an elevated and en
larged citizenship; to our aatlonal stand
ing at home and abroad ; to the work of
vigorons reform In all discovered abuses
of authority or trust ; to an uneqnaled for
eign credit ; to a successful and solid fi
nancial system, and to the unparalelled
peace and prosperity everywhere in our
broad domain, and these are our pledges
for Ihe future.
, B. We bail the "New Departure" of the
late BeiBoorotle part y, taken by the action
ol their Convention In seven States, as an
affirmation of the principles for which the
Republican party baa contended for the
" years : and In the "Passive Poli
cy" of that party, already assumed In sev
im T Jtbo S!ea, ws recognise an ac
knowledgment their hopelessness of

Ex-Senator N'ei--mit!i let fly kif
poUto-trap in tliis city last Satur
day afternoon to tlie great patis'he
tion ol tlie seaker, it' nobody else.
I 'e complained of having a tad cold
Ht tlie outtct, but we thought lx?
fiire he had finished his harangue,
that badness was characteristic of
the man throughout. His allusions
to Attorney General Williams," in
tended to be facetious, were prompt
ed more by a spirit of spite and
chagrin. It was quite modest in
him to try to convey the impression
that Williams was afraid to meet
himin debate! Tlie conijarisoii
which he instituted between the ex
ienscs or running the Government
by the present administration
and those of the jst administra
tions was skilfully, though unfairly
presented. While lie showed the
exieiisesof tlie present to be enor
mously in excess of Buchanan's, he
neglected to tell how, and by what
party these iiicreascd expenses were
.brought upon the nation. He stated
that the stealings of the present Ad
ministration were about eighty mill
ions per am nun. He might have
put them at three or four times as
much, and the "gudgeons" in the
audience would have taken the in
crease down with the same ease.
To amplify on that head without
scruple, is peculiarly a Democratic
art. He said that Trumbull, Schura,
Greeley it Co., left the Republican
party because of iti corruption. As
these gentlemen are now enjoying
the sympathies of the Tammany in
innoccntx, and are beginning to be
regarded with favor even by Ore
gon Swamp Land, Lock and Dam
and Litigant monopolists and swin
dlers, that looks exceedingly feasi
ble! Exceedingly. He thought that
Greeley fe Co., when they left the
party, took the "brains" along
with them. As Greeley has be
lieved in nearly every ism, and has
been as unreliable and changeable,
and as full of new departures as t he
Democracy, we can readily account
for the above opinion. Tlieir char
acters being alike in vacillation,
congeniality is at once felt, and
coalescence will follow. Reasserted
that tlie excuses of the Indian De
partment were iu excess of what
tliey had been, and as a c'incher to
substantiate this mere assertion, said
that he had been in the service three
years. This accounted for his opin
ion, lie judged the financial man
agement of the others by the one
he had to do with. He pitched
into Amnesty roughshod. Said on
this question the Republicans were
insincere As the Amnesty bill lias
within the last few days passed
Congress by a two-thirds vote, we
can't believe him. His n marks on
the negro would have suited an au
dience of slave-drivers and traders
to a dot. He said in substance, the
negro was inferior, low and debased,
and if Democracy were elevated to
power, he would be turned out ot
office, and. placed where he belong
ed. He said that it was an infamy
for a roan to be punished by pen
alty which the nature of the crime
did not call for. The penalty
against treason is death, and not dis
franchisement. Tlierefore, tlie rebels
should have been hung and notdia
graned by being disfranchised! And
so lie went on, "lippiteciit,"' "rip
snort" until lie had finished. It
could not be expected that a man
of his polital reputation could lie
anything but unfair. To misrepre
sentand misstate would naturally
be expected from him, and disai
Kiiiitment would follow unless he
did. He fully sustained his repu
tation in these directions on this
occasion.
Mmm.
Democratic politicians pretend to
lie dreadfully afraid that Hen Hoi
laday will get xssession of the
Canal ami Lock improvement.
7'hey make that a political issue.
7'heir (ear, however, is a big sham.
7'lie Oregon ian says "that at aijy
time during the last eighteen
months the 'monopolist' could have
bought out the Canal and Locks
Company ; " "tliat a majority of
the stock has been reiatcdly ot
tered for sale to .Mr. Holladay, and
such an oll'ci' has been made within
the lat tew weeks." 7'his fact
shows how ridiculous is the plea
urged, that a Democratic Legisla
ture should be elected to prevent
ilolladay trom monopolizing the
Locks. 7'lie company has an ele
phant on its hands, and would
gladly sell out to Ilolladay, to-day,
if he would buy.
Carl Schtirz, in consultation with
the Missouri delegation at Cincin
nati, previous to tlie nomination of
ii'reeley, said that lie was the
weakest candidate the convention
could nominate ; that while he re
spected Greeley, that he was not
the man, with his habits and lack
of administrative ability, to receive
the highest nomination; that he
was a weak man among the (Ver
mans of Ohio and Illinois, and no
one who could not secure their suf
frages could be elected to the Presi
dency. It was noticed that in the
closing address of Schnrz to the
convention, he uttered no words of
commendation of either ticket or
platform.
Xeauilth'a Npeceh
"Figures wont lie," is no longer an
axiom,sii:ce Ex-Senator Xesmith has
begun to financier. He said that the
exjienses of the last year of Buch
anan's administration were 55,-
901,000. The Portland Herald
some months since said they were
J 58,469,780 08. It will be observ
ed that the discrepancy between
these two Democratic authorities
amounts to over two millions and
a ludf. The real fact in the matter
is, the expenses of Buchanan's ad
ministration for his last year,
amounted in round numbers to
77,000,000. If Nesmith would
misrepresent in this particular, is it
doing him an injustice to suppose
that he would do the same in his
other financial statements ? 0 those
one hundred and sixty wagons of
gold! Bah! Why didn't he make
a Tammany computation in wag
ons?
-
Mr. Nesmith in his speech here
last Saturday conveyed the impres
sion that under the provisions of the
Fourteenth Amendment, certain cit
izens of the South, late in the re
bellion, were disfranchised from
voting. This is not correct. The
Amendment simply prevented them
from holding office. Jen". Davis
and the rest ot them are only
deprived of holding office.
Jeff Davis is said to be in favor
of the coalition of the Liberals and
the Democrats. It is not surprising
that he should be in favor of a
movement, which, if successful,
would favor his return to political
life.

A special message from President

is as follows : I transmit herewith
the eorrespoiidence which has re
cently taken place resiecting the
difference of opinion which has
arisen between this fVovernmentaiid
that of Great Britain, with regard
to the powers of the Tribunal of Ar
bitration created under the treaty
signed at Washington iu May, 187 1.
I respectfully invite the attention of
the Senate to the proposed article
submitted by the British Govern
ment, with the object of removing
the difference which seems to threat
en the prosecution of the arbitral ion,
and request an expression by the
Senate ot their disposition in regard
to advising and concerting to a
formal adoption of the articles such
as proposed by the British Govern
ment. The Senate is aware that
consultation with that body in ad
vance of entering into agreements
with foreign States, had many pre
cedents in the early days of the Re
public General Washington asked
their advice upon a pending ques
tion. The most important recent
precedent is that of the Oregon
boundary treaty of 1846. The im
portance of the results hanging upon
tlie present state of the treaty with
Great Britain, leads me to follow
these former precedents, and to de
sire the counsel of the Senate in ad
vance of agreeing to the proposals
ot Great Britain. (Signed,)
