COY. GISCS' SPEECn.
, ;Tlte GoTentor of "Oregon has been
ramlcing a ipeech at Forest Grove in Wash
ington eonnty, and ihe Oregonian -irhich
ia the blower for the Governor in his Sen
atorial hunt- gives the wonderful pro
d action to tbo people in its dailj issncs of
. "the Stli and 10th of this month. We
hate cot space to criticize the whole of
this remarkable production, nor need we
dd to If we had the space. Properly
peaking it ia not a speech, but a mass of
garbled, falsifying patch-work, put to
gether by one who must therefor admit
himself to be either an ignoran blunder
ing, bareless fool, or a wanton, awkward,
senseless, slanderous knave. But it is
easier to prove from the ' speech " what
we say of its atterer, than to pen all we
fee! disposed to say of him. Therefore
we ' will let comment pass and merely
quote, to show how truly we characterize
tha speaker. Take for example the fol
lowing original " passage: ,
After Breckinridge went to help Southern
State otit of the Union, Geo. Lane cent his
on John Inta the rebel army, and came t
- the PiuaSc States in company with, Dr. Gwin
on a similar mission. For that purpose 00,
000 stand of arms had been sent here by
Floyd, who was then Secretary of yTar. The
war was commenced in January, 1861 bj
ths firing into the Star cf the West as it vs.-as
entering Charleston Harbor with supplies for
"the il,nt Major Anderson and bis brave
soldiers. The chivalry of South Carolina
tad refused to furnish, any more supplies,
Afri the garrison was in a starving condition.
; Wkat are the fact in respect to the
bunch of glaring misstatements contained
ti iove brief paragraph : Mr. Breck
inridge held his place as vVioe President
ia the Chair f the U S. Senate until
Maxell 4, 361, and continued in h.is seat
as a Senator from Kentucky -ua til the
. close of the spatial session of July, of the
ezs&i year. Gen. Lane arrived at San
Fr3ieo, 'April $it 161, in the Golden
Age, lad, must Jbav$ left New York at
IsMsi twesty-four or tweaty-six days be
fcra. " As Te?l Csjater was fired on April
12ih, Gen. JUse could not tave known
aaytHEg cf t'zs ccmiuencement cf hostil
itiea'natil hia arrival in San Francisco,
and, when he left Kcw York, he must
Siave been in the belief that hostilities
would net ensue between the North and
South, because up to April 8th. the word
had eisi-ofr4?u!lr ccne cni tn thf whole
couniry that, to save n collision, the Ad
uihmtralion had determined to evacuate
Fort Sumter, and Mr. Seward had per
suaded tho Southern Commissioners to a
belief that a treaty of separation would be
amicably adjusted. Then how could
Breckinridge go" tohelp Southern States
out of the Union," wheu he remained iu
tho Senate until months after every seceded
State had withdrawn ? How could 0 en.
Lane, after Breckinridge hud done what
Gov. Gibbs charges, come "to the Pacific
Stales" to take them out if the Union,
when he left New York, late in March,
and at a time when everybody was given
to believe by the Lincoln Administration
that there would be no war ? The ab-
surdity and wanton falsitv of this first sen
tence of the Governor's remarks in the
quotation above are too manifest to re
quire further notice, and we pass to the
next :
"For that purpoao (i. e., to tako PuHfie
States mtt of the Union) 90,000 stand of
arms had been pent here by Floyd, who was
theti Secretary of War."
Floyd resigned in January, and could
not have been Secretary of War when
" Brcckinridio went to help Southern
States out of the hion,"" nor when Gen.
Lane ,: carae)tto the Pacific States" in
April, 1SG1. J3uthe huge lie about the
90,000 stand of arms " passes all com
prehension. Had Gov. Gibbs referred to
the official Report of the Congressional
Committee (Republican) on this very
matter of the distribution of arms by Sec
retary Floyd, he would have learned that
from January 1SGJ, to January 9, 18G1,
the whole number of rifles and muskets
distributed in all the States was only 10,-
151, or just 79.849 less than he asserts
were pent to " the Pacific States " alone !
And it ought to be remarked here that of
these 10,151, not 3,000 were sent iuto
"disloyal" States.
We need not further show up this whole
cloth lie of the Governor's, but will pro
ceed with the next stauner :
" The war was comsnenel iu Jmioftry,
ISol. by the firtug into the Star of the West
as it was entering Charleston harbor,'' Sic.
Before going further, let us ask the
Governor if he remembers the following
provisions of the Federal Constitution :
Sec. 8. The Conrest shall have power
todeelavs war to provide and maintain a
nary to make rules for the government and
regulation of the land antl naval forces to
provide for calling forth the militia to exe
cute the laws of the Union, suppress insur
rections ana repel invasions to proride lor
organizing, arming, ana disciplining the
militia, 4c.
Agreeably to the Constitution the pow
er to declare, provide for, and carry on
war, is vested wholly in Congress. The
President has no such power he can on
ly execute the will of Congress. In Jan
uary, 1861, the Congress was Republican,
and in the House, where appropriations
to prepare for war must arise, the tlepub-
licans had a clear working majority. If
the firing into the Star of the' West was
an act of war, then, as Gov. Gibbs asserts,
what has he to say in exculpation cf the
Republican Congress which not only to
tally failed to provide means for the do
fence of the Union, to carry on the war,
and to vindicate the flag, but which sat
cravenly silent tinder the outrage and in
sult upon both&rttntry and flag by the
South Carolinians? Instead of holding
up DerjKjgraU to public reprobation for
what he declares they did subsequently,
why does he not denounce the Republi
cans insCongress for this treasonable der
eliction of duty, and censure the Repub
lican masses of that day for their disloyal
ty and criminal apathy ? If the wat com
menced when Gov. Gibb3 declares it did,
then he must admit that Secretary Sew
ard and President Lincoln behaved " trea
sonably in their quasi negotiations with
the Southern Commissioners who were in
Washington until the time that Fort
Sumter was fired on ; and that the Ad-;
ministration was guilty of treason and per
fidy in promising to evacuate Fort Sum
ter, and leave it to the Confederate's pos
session. r.-. ,
Gov. Gibbs says that Mr. Buchanan
was President at that time j that he saw
seven States go out of the Union, saw.
" public property stolen j" " forts taken
possession of, and the laws of tho United
States set at naught," and " never raised
a finger against it." " Will Gov." Gibbs
please to tell the people, what President
Buchanan could have done tha he did
not do at that time f ; It was for Congress
to legislate, and to order, and for the
President to execute. . So long as Con
gress did nothing the hands of the Presi
dent were bound. Gov. Gibbs knows
this therefore it is clear that he wilfully
falsifiesMn making this. attack upon Mr.
Buchanan, and through him upon the
Democratic party. We could notice
other falsehoods and misrepresentations
in this campaign speech of Gov. Gibbs,
but shall waste no more time on it here.
Honest, candid men who read his speech,
and who will take the trouble to investi
gate the facts, cannot but despise a Chief
Magistrate of a State who will thus at
tempt to deceive and cajole them, or who
betrays so much ignorance, or engages in
such wholesale, shameless falsehoods.
Try " Him. We presume of course,
while J udge Powell is out canvassing, he
will explain to the people about that
transaction of his, ia selling the old Court
House lot at private sale to himself ; and
will state whether that " extra services "
account he charged on , the new Court
House was for doing that job on,the small
marble slab in -front just above the door-

The cause of Democracy in thiseity
and throughout the county is, as in ejery
other other portion of the Suite 1 hate ho
far visited in the campaign, progressing
even beyond the expectations of the bent
informed and most sanguine tf our active
partv brethren. The Democracy of Mult
nomah hare put into the field a ticket of J
great strength and extraordinary ability,
and although the county has given very
large Republican majorities for years past,
it is now certaiu that their vote will be
cut down to a nominal figure, and it is not
improbable that a partial Democratic suc
cess will be achieved. The Democracy
are active, sealotw and vigilant. They
are to form a Democratic Club in a few
day, with headquarters in the largo fine
building of Lappeus & Knowlcs, in the
great hall of which thelatc Democratic
State Convention was held. At their
Club room, it is intended, there will bo
kept an abundance of sound Democratic
reading, and evening Speeches will be
among the programme of exercises for the
closing daya of the campaign. The. Hon
ovables Grover," Strong, Stout, Wait and
Page, and Wolff, Trimble, Semple, and
ilecd, ISsqs., propose to address their fel
lov citizens, and with this array of supe
rior talent, it will be no wonder if Mult
nomah gives a noble report of herself on
the day of election.
Among the chief happy events which
promise to redound so materially to the
advancement of our cause is the advent
here of that houorcd pillar of our party:
on this coast, whose name has become to
the Democracy a household word llcriah
Brown, the former editor of the San Fran
cisco Press, and late of the Sonoma Demo-!
crat. He is now the editor of the Oregon
Herald, and in that high position he will
accomplish much in behalf of the party
throughout this State and adjoining Tci.
ritories. '
This is the day upon which Col. Kelly
and G. L. Woods speak here indeed Col.
Kelly is speaking as I write, and the Thc
atrise crammed to hear him. Woods is
to follow. Woods attempted another of
the peculiar contemptible tricks to which
he never fails to resort, with regard to
speaking appointments. It ought to be
mentioned that in an interview before he
commenced the canvass he offered no ob
jection to a proposition which should give
the opposing candidates for State Printer
an opportunity to join with Col. Kelly
and himself in the canvass in fact he
tacitly assented to it. But when I met
him at Roscburg, followed out there as I
was by McFhcrson (as a, pig is said to
have followed a coach from Albany to Sa
lem to the Statesman office ? some
weeks ago), he seemed to have suddenly
repented of his assent. Col. Kelly had
given his assent to the proposal, and was
ready to stand by it. Woods did not be
have like a gentleman, however, in mak
ing known his retraction of the assent be
fore the hour of meeting, but reserved
the announcement of it till the close of
his remarks, when he joined insult to re
traction. He was fitly responded to on
that occasion, and the miserable fellow, too
cowardly to vindicate himself, has ever
since schemed and plotted to get advant
age, in a disreputable way, of the meet
ings. Col. Kelly and himself are an
nounced to speak in day time, to com
mence at 1 o'clock, My appointments
are for the evenings of the samo day. I
do not attempt to interfere with his ap
pointments, and am determined he shall
not with mine. But, last evening, while
at Oregon City, he proposed to Col. Kel
ly that they should change their time of
speaking here from 1 o'clock, ' day, to 8
o'clock evening. His party managers
here had all day yesterday attempted the
same thing." and tried to prevail upon Mr.
Wni.' McMillan, Chairman of the Demo
cratic County Committee, to accede to the
change.' : That unflinching wheel horse
of our party here declined the trap, and
thus Woods was again foiled in hia four;h
or fifth contemptible effort to crowd mo
from the canvass. The fellow and his
party leaders have said they would shjwi
me no courtesy; I propose to take their
determination for my own, and treat him
and them accordingly; And it is grati
fying to be able to state that many con.-
scrvatiye Republicans fair-minded mcnJ
sustain the course I have resolved
upon, and attend the meetings despite the
efforts of Woods and his Radical cappers
to keep them from doing so. I have
thought it fit to mention these things be
cause of tho constant endeavors of the
Radical candidate fof Governor and' his
blowers to misrepresent the facts in the
case. -: , - , ; . -
The meeting at Oregon City yesterday
was held in the Court Room in Ralston &
Myers fine new brick building, and the
crowd was greater than the capacity of
the ball. ; Col. Kelly made .a splendid
speech. Woods talked as usual. ! Quite
an interesting episode occurred daring
Col. Kelly's speech. A statement had
been made in the lying Oregonian that
Col. Kelly had, on a lato occasion, de
clared in Oregon City that he never would
vote to pay a dime of the national debt if
the U, S. Bonds held by wealthy ; men
were not taxed. A fellow named Locy,
another named Burns, and still another,
whose name I cannot now remember, were
given : as authority for this- statement.
Locy is on the Clackamas : Radical ticket
for Representative. ITewas the only one
of the falsifying trio present. Col. KeU
ly called upon him 'to answer if he had
made the statement as givcu in the Ore
gonian. The poor, mean creature rose,
stammered, changed color, shitted around,
and finally confessed that he believed "he
was mistaken" that Col. Kelly did not
say what he (Locy) had asserted he did.
In other words, Locy admitted that him
self, Hums, and the other slanderer, had
lied about what Col. Kelly actually did
say. The rebuke Col. Kelly administered
to the shivering, prevaricating, craven
penitent was the more withering because
of its earnestness and apparent mildness.
Locy took it like a bad, vicious boy, con
scious of his guilt, aud cowardly because
of his meanness. .He stood the pattern
of abject humiliation.
Another lie of the Abolition organs
with reference to Col. Kelly demands ex
posure. Correspondents of the States
man and Oregonian tell of how the buts
ard bummer, Col. Hawkins, " backed
down" Col. Kelly at Amity, Yamhill
county, hist week. The facts are as fol
lows: As Col. Kelly was on his way to
Lafayette from Dallas, he stopped at Am
ity to hear Gibbs and Hawkins speak at
a " Union " meeting there. Although
the spurious Tennessee bummer and Illi
nois assassin had not met Col. Kelly, he
referred to him sevcivtl timos iu his fanat
ical harangue, and put questions to him.
To one of these questions Col. Kelly re
sponded, and spoke of" your traitors" iu
the Radical ranks. Hawkins faining to
believe that Col. Kelly called him a " trait
or," aud trying the bluff game of a Par
otic?, as he is, rushed towards where Col.
Kelly stood, shouting Do you call me
a traitor H Col. Kelly told him if he
would go back to 4ai9 place he would tel
him what he did say. Mistaking Cof.
Kelly's mild manner for fear, the coward
ly bully rushed ou and became bolder in
his tone. When within about ten feet of
Col. Kelly, that gentleman said to Hawk
ins" Go back, sir!" The bully came
within five feet, when Col. K. made an
unmistakable motion with his fist towards
Hawkins' face, and said in very forcible
language, with a sharp expletive added
"Go back, or I'll knock you down!"
And back slinked, sneaked, almost crept,
the craveu cur, trembling all over, and
blanched as a sheet. Gov. Gibbs and
some other of his friends, I ought to add,
however, interfered to save .flawkius
from Col. Kelly's wrath as the ugly or
der was given, and thus saved their paid
hound the blow he so richly deserved
Hawkins resumed his place and his ha
rangue, bat said he would not notice Col.
Kelly again. He tried to prevent Col.
Kelly from explaining to the crowd what
he had said, because " it was a Union
meeting, aud no Democrat had a right to
speak at it," but the crowd, more gener
ous and just, did listen to the explanation.
Hawkins left the stand a slunkeo, "de
moralized " braggart.
lions. Jas, D. Fay and Lafayette Lane
have spoken here and at Oregon City,
and both made excellent speeches. Mr.
Fay agreeably disappoints all who hear
him, even the Radicals. He is able, ar
gumentative, manly and clear in his re.
marks, and appeals to the roason and judg
ment of his hearers. He tower, over
Mallory like an eagle over a sparrow hawk,
and is doing excellent service for the
cause he represents with such high abili
ty and fitness. Mr. Lane is pronounced
one of the most clear, logioal, chaste and
effective speakers in the State, by all who
havo had the pleasure of hearing him, and
makes hosts of friends at every point.
Fay and Lane both merit high praise for
their able efforts in the campaign. f They
refute satisfactorily the numerous false
hoods published against the Democracy
and the candidates, am? provo up a roo
ord against the Radical party which their
organs and speakers cannot controvert or
answer, -
My convictions that wo shall aohicve a
triumph in Oregon on the 4th of the en
suing June grow stronger as I progress
in tho campaign. There is not a reasona
ble doubt of it, if there be signs of the
times. Wo where f do we near ot any
changes from ouf party to the opposition,
but, on the contrary, at every place we
have '.' reliable information of material
changes iu our favorf and, in addition, of
an increased strength from th? emigration
of the past two years". The Radieal ma-
jorities of Marion, Clackamas, Washing
ton and : Multnomah will be greatly re
duced, if not in some special instances en
tirely overcome, and of the triumph of bur
Legislative ticket there can be not the
slightest fear. The next U. S. Senator
from Oregon will surely be a Democrat.

.Tudee Underwood s charge to the grand jury
on Tuesday, intv ein, cicariy sets lortii uiesr
duty to act fwirlessly, even though their
fidelity might bring them enemies mid mur
derous assaults, as had been the cne with a
previous grnnd jury. In this connection he
adverted to his char-ge to the grnnd jury pre
eediii"' them, and said he would not express
himself now, as he believed they all knew
the ttentiuurit he had expressed. Since
then peace hud been declared, tbe writ of j
habeas corpus restored ; revenny rrcsiqeni
Johnson had expressed a desire that no such
subordinates as W'irti should bo brought to
punishiucut for treason, but that, the chief
of traitors should be tried ; it was aWnst
these leading oflondcrs that he woukfliave
them act, and punish the principals and not
the -turds. It had 'been decided that such
offenders must be tried in Virginia. At the
.North there had been much complaint of the
tardiness shown in bringing them to trial.
The delay had been unavoidable. There was
no need "of further delay however, and he
hoped the time had come when it would be
shown here that treason was held as ft crime
meriting the highest punishment;. lie
urged that the moat of the peoplof the
Stale who sided with rebellion anpook up
arms could not be held accountable for trea
son. Those who had impnspd upon the
credulity and ignorance of the masses, and
incited them to rebel against the Govern
ment, he would have punished. There was
no obstacle in tho way of bringing indict
tueiits against all the leaders iu this rebel
lion, paroled prisoners as weil as the un
padded. Judge Underwood announced that he
thought Justice Chase would be in attend
ance to preside in June. The grand jury
then retired and on Thursday brought in an
indictment painst Jeff. Davis, when Judge
Underwood a'djourned the court to Richmond.
The judiciary committee, who have been
making inquiries as to what evidence exists
in regard to Jeff. Daviii' complicity in the
assassination of Lincoln, have been unable
to get any response from the Secretary of
State showing the reasons for the fnmous
'proclamation of May, 1303 . It ia undor
tood that the ojmtnitiee will call upon the
President before making a report to the
House.
The receipts of internal revenue during

CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, Mav 7. In the House, Ju
lian of Indiana, offered a regulation which
was adopted, instructing the judiciary com
mittee to inquire into theespeuicncy of pro
hibiting the Territories from denying the
negro suffrage, and provtiling that none be
admitted unlr-ss negro sTrage be granted.
Mav 8. 1 he Senate pa-scd the Hsusc
resolution congratulating the Emperor of
Hussia on his escape from assassination.
Mr. Chandler, from the committee on
commerce, reported a joint resolution in
structing the Secretaries of War, the Navy,
and the Treasury, to adopt an efficient sys
tem of quarantine against tae cholera, and
enforce sanitarv measures.
Mr. Trumbull offered the following sub
stitute for nn amendment to the Post Office
bill : That no person exercising or perform
ing any duties of an r-ffice which, by law is
required to be filled by the advice and con
sent of the Serte, shall, before coafirnia;
t-ion, receive compensation for his services,
unless commanoed bv the President to fill a
vacancy occasioned by death, resignation of
the expiration of the term during tho recess
of the Senate, or Bince its last adjournment.
I JK-. JJooIittle said the i'resusent had not
lemored anyone from olSce for. opinion's
sake, but to make way for soldiers; he had
been extremely liberal m respect of opinions.
The ' House refused by yeas 51, nays 82m
to postpone the special order, being the rep
resentative clause of the report of the Re.
construction Committee.
Mr. Stevens proceeded to address the
House, savin? that the Dror-osition fell short
of his wishes, but it was all that could be
obtained in the present state of public opin.
ion. Un careful survev of the whole ground,
the committee did not believe that nineteen
loyal States could bo induced to ratify any
proposition of more strength than this. He
repeated that nine States were utterly repu
diated, and ho scouted the idea that any
btate not in tbo Union should' tie consulted.
This question, referring to the Constitution
al Amendment fixing the basis of represen
tation, which failed some time ago )n the
Senate, he said, was slaughtered by pedantic
criticisms, , by self-righteous Republicans,
and unrighteous Copperheads, and this tac
tion has postponed, perhaps tor ages, the
salvation of the colored races.
Mr. Blaine said that the third section,
which denies franchises until the 4th of Julv,
I81O, 'was a violation of good faitl toward
that large class who come within the laws of
the amnesty proclamation, and who have
been pardoned. He asked Mr, Stevens for
nn explanation, 5Ir,,btevcns admitted that
the pardon absolved the crime. Mr. isiaine
suggested that It be amended. The point
made bv Mr. Blaine and reluctantly admit
ted by Mr. Stevens, which seemed to be well
taken, created considerable stir in Republi
can ranks. The members drew near and
evinced great interest.
May 10. The Senate finished the debate
on Trumbull's amendment to the PostofSce
Appropriation bill, Mr.'. Nye commented
severrdv on the President's tiolicv and an
nealed to the Senate to stand firtUj so that
what was done should be well done. ioo
little spoke in reply against the spirit of in
sulting violence toward the South, and asked
Nye how many rebuls he would have tried,
whether by niilitarv commission or civil
courts, Jye replied he would hang enough
to make treason odious, to make good the
word of the President. Hoolittle asked how
manv. Aye replied five or six. He would
not have kept Davis so long. lie would havo
hanged him in a hollow square of the grand
Union army when they were mustered out
here. Now be supposed he wouid try him
by law. Doolittle said the President was
not responsible for the delay in the trial of
jen iavis. - u was auniuieu mat court-martial
was not a proper trial, and the judge of
the proper court had so far refused to try

The Ilouse, after speeches by Messrs.
Randall, Stevens, Batiks, Ecklay, Beamer,
Farnsworth, Rogers, Dawes ami Bingham,
all ot whom, except Banks and Jbckley, op
posed ihe third section, of the constitutional
amendment, while Democratic speakers op
posed the whole proposition, Stevens closed
the debate. r He eaid he should be sorry if
the tmra section was stricken out, because
then, before any portion of the amendment
could be put in operation, the other side of
the House would be nllcd with yelling seces
