Democrats are not sailing under i t,,e sharpest man on the ticket, and
that banner at present, by uo means.
Whi'e we might agree tor argu
ment's sake, that the Democratic
party endorses the nominations, we
are certainly not far out of our
reckoning when we assert that a
larg majority of the People of
Linn county do not now belong or
claim any allegience to that party.
And we certainly believe that hc
nominations made on Saturday are
not acceptable to the People. Put
this a ,"4 that together. As an indi.
cation of the reason for this belief,

In fact there seems to be uo
ditl'erencc atall between the Democ
racy and the Republicans, as in
Douglas and one or more counties
of this State they have fused, and
nominated a "Cayuse" ticket.
Having shaken hands over the
"bloody chasm," adopted the ame
platform, advocating the same prin
ciples, they are now fairly started,
on the road to glory together, each
singing the praises of the other.
Men who were once denounced by
Democrats to a waiting world as
biack-hearteit abolitionists, "ring
thieves," etc., are now warmly em-
braced by these same Democrats,

ami pronounced paragons of honesty
and virtue. What a change, my
countrymen! The time ( has come
here ih Oregon, politically speak
ing, when the lion and the lamb
have laid down together. The two
great parties have found it ex
pedient to unite; and for what
purpose? To defeat the will ot the
people While they have asserted
that the Independents, the Tax
payers, were composed of a few
soreheads, and would make no
figure at all when the vote was
counted, yet they have deemed it
wise to tuse, and by putting up a
ticket composed ot Democrats and
Republicans, make one grand effort
to defeat the will of the People as
expressed in the nominations made
by the Independents. It was ever
thus. Of course they believe their
own assertions that the People's
party doesn't amount to a "hill of
beaiiK." eomnosed as it of a few

here's the rub they seem to tear
Lthat they have pomibly been led
into error in making such assertions,
and to provide for this pomi'dtiy
they are willing to make any sacri-
flee of principle, eveu to fusing the

interloping fellows, the People.
We are certainly of the oninion
that the fears ofthe nolitieAl leiulem

believe that, no matter what com-
