    STATE RIGHTS DEMOCRAT.
SATIUDW, OCTOBER 11. 1865.
THE EXIUA SESSION.
(low Gibbshas elected to call an extra
ppssion of the Legislature, and fixed the
5th day of December ensuing as the pe
riod for that nody to convene. His Ex
cellency has been cogitating upon this
matter for months, and evidently has
halted between opposing opinions as to
either the propriety- or policy of the step
"Whether it has been from self-conviction
or outside pressure that he at length re
solves in favor of the measure, we cannot
be expected to know. But he has issued
his official proclamation for the legisla
tors to assemble. He docs not say for
what express purpose he calls that body
together in special session ; he simply de
clares "tliat measures highly importan
to the interests of the State and Xatiou
wfmr ih& action of tlm Legislature at
aneavtier prmH rr:A) i n.-.-.s
nl session." We do not propose to be
hypercritical upon the peculiar arrange
ment of the Governor's language, but we
would respectfully desire to be informed
Iiow happened it that he placed the
"State" .before the "Nation," in his
Proclamation? The Governor belongs to
"the party whieh declares that to the Federal
'crovernment, or " Nation," as they prefer
erroneously to call it, every citizen of our
State owes ' paramount allegiance." Then
why put the cart before the horse the
" State" before the "Nation?" When
the question whether there should be a
called session was first agitated, only one
cause was alleged for its necessity that
of passing the proposed amendment to
the Constitution for the total abolition of
slavery in alt" ofthe United States.
There was no mention made of the neces
sity of a special session for any mere
State purpose whatever. Yet now it
seems the State's necessity is paramount
and the Nation's necessity secondary in
Importance. What has transpired with
m the past six or eight months which
has created this pressing State necessity,
and rendered legislation for the State of
paramount importance to legislation upon
ihe proposed amendment? There has
been no turmoil in the State, no appre
hensions of any ; there has been no oppo
sition to'any of the laws, no fear of any;
.there has. been no alarming cause precipi
tated upen the State, or in any portion of
ii- In short, in every aspect and in every
particular, things have gone along with
more harmony and less discord than at
any previous time since this present Ad
ministration has been in power. The
vexed questions which did for a year or
two-disturb communities and the people
with that right. An Abolition Legisla
ture at a regular session, passed an infa-
moiw test oath Act. democrats repudi
ated and disregarded that; they will
treat with far less courtesy or considera
tion an Act to disfranchise hundreds of
their fellow-citizens from the sacred 1 ice
man's right of voting.
If the Governor wants to call an extra
session, however, for the purpose of iui
nieiliatelv renolin- the odious and iutol-

If it is to establish Negro Suffrage in

have only again to point to the Constitu

its provisions, and net submit to any cur
tailment of or addition to the instrument
As to the rn-oiosed amendment to the

tion and Federal Acts, have been defi-j
aitely settled by the Supreme Court, and j
there no longer exists any delinquency,
neither of counties, corporations, nor in
dividuals, with reference to these former
ly vexed issues. The payment of taxes
in gold and silver, the military tax, and
other disputed subjects have been com
posed and disputation upon - or non-conformity
to thein is no longer heard. Then
"why, we ask again, does the' Governor
.mention that highly important State in
terests require an extra session ? Some
thing must have occurred within the past
few months to cause the Governor to bc
Lieve that State necessity required this
extra session would it not have been
gracious in him to have told the people
briefly what this pause is ?
The Abolition organs of the State have
several times made allusion to the fact
that an '-unusual number of emigrants
were coming into Oregon this year, and
stated that a very large proportion of
them were Democrats. They stated fur
ther that many of these emigrants were
from Missouri, and hence argued that
they were secessionists and rebels, and
therefore ought not to be permitted to
vote in Oregon next June, notwithstand
ing our State Constitution gives them
the right so to do. The same organs
lave i a connection with this subject pro
posed that a law be enacted which would
inhibit these Missouri emigrants from
the right of suffrage.
If it is to have an Act passed which
shall provide that the immigrants, or any
portion of them, of this year's advent to
the State shall not be permitted to vote
ia June next, if they in all respects con
form to the requirements of the State
Constitution, that Gov. Gribbs has called
m extra session, we can respectfully .but
very emphatically assure him, his and
the Legislature's labors in that particular
will be vain, idle, worse than useless
for he and they will cause trouble to al
without the slightest chance Ot effecting
what is proposed. ; y.'.i .
i The Constitution prescribes and estab
lishes the elective franchise. "Any and
all who come within the purview of its
' provisions have a right to vote, and nei
ther the Legislature nor any , other au-
thftnty except the people themselves, m
the mode and manner prescribed by the
State Constitution, can alter, amend or
abolish any of the provisions already es
tablished. A people may obey an Act
ef the Legislature generally believed ' to
he unconstitutional, until the proper offi
cial declaration that it actually is so is pro
nounced. " But we know that we utter
no idle words when we sav and we"wish
the Governor and -Legislators to notice
. what we say that the Democracv of Or
egon will not suffer these immigrants
from Missouri or elsewhere, to be de
prived of their votes in the next State
flection, if the Constitution invests the
IViHgraceftil Trickery.
Acting Gov. Elwood Evans, of Wash
ington ; Territory, has lately committed
most disgraceful piece of official trickery,
It ought in fact be termed official rogue
ry. It occurs in his proclamation of the
result of the last Territorial election, in
resard to the election of the Councilman
for the District of Walla Walla, in whic
he proclaims that the Abolition cand
date, Anderson Cox, is chosen over Fran
P. Dugan, Esq., the Democratic can
didate.
The facts, as we derive them from of
ficial and authentic sources, are as fo'
lows: The counties of Walla Walla and
Skamania were by a former Legislature
erected into a Council District, but the
last Legislature wiped out of existence
the county of Skamania, leaving Wal
Walla alone the District. The Act di
not contemplate the non-existence of Ska
mania, however, in the eusuing Territori
al election, for the Act of the previous
Legislature specially provided for the rep
resentation of that tract or county dow
to 1800, and this part of the former act1
was not repealed nor nullified by the sub
sequent Legislature. The returns of the
election gave Mr. Dugan in the whole
District, fifty-six majority. But the coun
ty of Walla Walla cast a majority of five
against him, and in favor of his Abolition
competor.
In order to deprive Mr. Dugan of his
seat, to which he was regularly elected by
the votes of the District,, and to invest
the Abolition candidate with Couneil hon
ors, Gov. Evans, in his proclamation of
WHO ARK THE Sil'LLlFIEKS?
The Abolitiouists havo continually
rarged upon the Democracy that they
are nuUiners; that their doctrine of
State Bights recognizes the right of a
State to nullify the laws of Congress, and.
lercfore, that that doctrine is a " treas
onable heresy.". They point to the only
instance in the whole history of the coun
try where the people of auj State who
professed to belong to the Democratic
mrty nullified or atlempted to nullify an
Act of the Federal Congress, and thence
abor, and distort the facts, to. show that
the Democratic party is in favor of nulli
fication.
Now, what are the facts in relation to
the nullification of South Carolina in
1831-2 ? That State was not then actu
ally a Democratic State. Gen. Jackson
was President of the United States. II
was a Democrat. Tho Administration
was Democratic. South Carolina and
President Jackson stood in hostile atti
tude towards each other. - The Demo
cratic Administraticm:-r nf tk
Democratic States opposed the action
and the argument of South Caroliua in
regard to nullification. And, in th
election for President in 1832 South
Carolina cast her full number of electora
votes against Andrew Jackson, the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency
Then how, with these facts before them,
can the Abolitionists have the effrontery
and injustice to stigmatize the Demo
cratic party as the party of nullification ?
But let us turn from the Democratic
record aud examine into (that of the party
in opposition Federalists in early years,
but now Abolitionists. In the Adminis-
TlII- DAILY MAIL UESlTMED.
Lnst Wcdncalay morning, Mr. D. W.
Wakefield, the accommodating telegraphic
operator at thig place, brought to us the
very welcome iitelligcnco that the Daily
Overland Mail had been restored to Ore
gon, to commence at once. Iu common
with -our felloy-citizcns, we have since
gladly realized the correctness of his report.
Tho California Stage Company, so the
telegraph inlbnus us, have concluded to
again take the contract at $225,000 per
annum, for the lervice. We are glad they
are to be the carriers. That they arc is
sufficient guarantee that the service will
be well performed, as they have so exce
lently performed it in the past. And
here, it is bui justly duo the drivers,
Messrs. WellerDrew and Dunn, who have
during the mal suspension so kindly and
generously taken our packages from here
to poiuts along the route, to tender them
our warm thanks for this service. It was
an accommodation both to us and our sub
scribers, for without this assistance we
xuuld not have forwarded our papers out
side of the ctrr,ty nor to Scio, Lebanon
Brownsville and Pine, in the county. In
future the mails will be open to us. yet
we shall not forget these past kindly acts.
During the period of suspension it may
have happened that some of our subscri
bers in various parts of the State avc no
received the numbers regularly. 1? so we
much regret it, but we wish to assure them
wc havo taken every means possible or
practicable to serve theni. If papers have
cen lost, or at least not received, there
fore, the fault rests rot with us. But
henceforward we apprctend no troubles on
on this score The resumption of the mail
tration of John Adams they set the ex
it J
ample of nullifying the Constitution by
the enactment of the Alien and Sedition
laws. During the Administration of
Thomas Jefferson Massachusetts nullified
and declared the Federal Embargo Act
unconstitutional. In the Administration
of James Madison, Connecticut, Massa
chusetts and Vermont, nullified the Acts
of Congress pertaining to the enlistment
of troops, aud to the conduct of the war.
Again, the eleven States o'f Maine,
Sew Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Isl
and, Connecticut, New York, New Jer-
will be a guarantee against the recurrence
of such evils.

The Ohio Democratic State Convention
met at Columbus, Aug. 24th, and after a
most harmonious session put forth a clear,
bold State Rights jJatform, and a good
ticket, as follows : Fir Governor, George
W. Morgau ; Lieut. Governor, William

REPUMATIOW.
Horace Greeley, who is above all other
men the popular leader and thief expo
nent of Abolitionism, has recently come
out in advocacy of a scheme which is no-
thing short ot a partial repudiation oi uiej
gigantic Federal debt. He proposes Unit
the Government shall call in all of (he
various ihtecest-drawingbonds the seven
thirties and five-twenties and issue in
ieu of them bonds which shall draw but
four per cent. per"aunum. In other
words, he proposes that the man who has
purchased Government bonds to the
amouut of 1,000, on the faith of the
pledge of the Government to pay him
either seventy-three dollars or fifty-two
dollars per annum, shall receive but forty
dollars per annum interest on his money.
This would not only impose a loss of cither
thirty-three or twelve dollars per auuum
of interest money on the bond holder, but
cause him further loss by the great depre
ciation in tho market price of the bond it
self. It is a virtual repudiation of about
from twenty to forty per cent, of the Fed
eral debt, and the principle involved in
the proposition is simply the rlgtt af the
Government to repudiate the whole debt
at any moment Contrress shall see fit. If
the Government has a right to reduce the
rate of interest it has pledged itself to pay
on its own debt, it has the right, by the
same course of reasoning, to reduce the
principal, or to repudiate the debt iu toto.
Had a Democratic organ proposed what
the Tribune has, the whole Abolition party
of the country would have joined in the
wild cry against it, and doubtless the Gov
ernment would have punished it by a sup
pression, and sent its editor to a Federal
prisou. But it is Horace Greeley, tho Ag
amemnon of the Abolition party, who pro
poses tho thing, and. consequently, to
Abolition minds, it is a subject well worthy
of deliberation.
That it will not prevail, we are certain,
for the reason that the rich factory lords
of New England, the merchant princes
aud great capitalists of Boston and New
Xork and .Tuiladelphia, hold the bulk of

the law of Congress of 1793 on the same u division ihe Long ticket having been
subject, by solemn action of their State withdrawn, and the whole Democracy of
entirely, and recognizes only the vote of
the remainder of the District. If the
Governor had followed this rule in respect
to the election of other Councilmen, or of
Representatives, credit might be given
him for honest error, for a mistaken or
erroneous interpretation of the law and
his own official duty. But he did not.
For instance, in the same proclamation he
recognizes the county of Skamania and
counts its vote in the election of Faras-
worth, an Abolitionist, to the Council,
over Johns, a Democrat. So does he recog
nize and count the vote of Skamania in
the election of Representative Van Sycklc ;
in the election of the Joint Representative
for Clickitat and Skamania, and in the of
ficial vote of the Territory for Delegate to
Congress.
Now, is it not remarkable that the Gov
ernor connts in the county and vote of
Skamania in three other distinct cases,
and rejects the vote and ignores the coun
ty in the single case of Dugan, to elect
Cox ? If it were just, lawful and proper
to reject the vote, and ignore the existence
of the county in the case of Dugan vs.
Cox, it would fiave been equally so in all
the other cases. There is no oscape from
these conclusions. In either view of the
cases presented ihe action of Gov. Evans
appears most reprehensible or disgraceful.
Yet we do not wonder at bis action. It
is the theory and has long been tho prac
tice of Abolitionists to adopt any and all
means, no matter how unconstitutional,
unlawful, unjust, disgraceful or rascally,
so that their ends were acomplbhed, and

Well Advised. Archbishop Kennck"
has informed the Catholic clergy of Missouri
that they must not take the oath prescribed
by the Abolition State Convention. The
reverend prelate has acted nobly. It is an
infamous oath, and strikes at all denomina
tions who prefer to worship Clod rather than
the Abolition idol ; who believe more in tha
Gospel than in Kegro Equality. It sinks
true religion lelow political belief, and
would degrade the clergymen into miserable
pulpit politicians. Good clergymen of every
denomination denounce, scorn, and refuse to
take the oath. Xo good man can take it and
remain good.
Indicative. The Idaho Statesman (Abo

editor of the Jacksonville Reporter, and also.
upon his family. It rehashes the old and
base lies and villainous slander which Mr.
Bush's Salem Statesman used to publish on
JUr. la!one and his unoHending iamily. H
is easy to guess whero the power behind the.
paper was in this last instance. The Idaho
editor has simply disgraced himself, not Mr.
Malone. -
