RADICAL EECJISEATIOXITS HEVOLITIOSAUY CHARACTER A vfew weeks ago the Radical Con gress passed over the veto of the Presi dent violently revolutionary measure - known as the Civil Rights Bill. Several versions of the bill have been placed be fore the people, each being presented as ; the sinion pure, and no one on this coast j can safely state which is the true copy of the measure as it passed. Bat we gather a very fair idea of what the bill really is in substance from the reported debates upon it partially given in the late East era papers, and from the Veto Message of the President upon it. That it is a bill of iniquities, of outrages and insults upon the whites, and particularly upon natural ized or foreign bora citizens, is visible to every reader, and that it establishes Ne gro Equality, politically and socially, in . effect, is equally plain. In its odious fea tures .against the native born white citi tcrtjiind in favor f the negro, the bill is its operations against the citizen or resi dent alien born, from the cnliglitened na tioas of Europe of people of Caucasian blood inasmuch as it places them below me native Bora negro, ana cxaeiiy on a level with the pagan Asiatic or Mongoli an In tliis respect the measure is found - ed agreeably to the declaration made, by Mr. Trumbull in b.is place in the Senate, i 3 1 a . .1 i mi . . - yt ' . ; ia a acDaxe on me mil, tnat v a vamaman is as wortuy 01 ciuzensmp as atjerman, ; and under the bill, if. we rightly under-; 6tand it, and agreeably to the President's i interpretation, Chinamen can sit on juries and serve as witnesses against white citi zens. v i . "Lei readers for a moment reflect on this ..species of legislation, by which Congress attempts, and does, so far as it has power, to break down certain cardinal articles of, t 111 C.rr cf : f nT ttm and 4-r r-.i n t aiii1 tr -i w VVUOVlkUilVUij AULA LU AUO-tVl Ul4 tj j - u- tuallr criiansro our svstem of rrovernmeBt. without affording the people the poor op portunity of even knowing the character and intentioa of the bill which makes se .weeping ehanges. " This- Civil. .Kighis "bTJ defies and tramples on the; Pederal Coastitution and the Constitu tions of nearly all the States. It totally change:? the rigV.? of citizenship, of trial by jury, of suffrage, of imlividutd ami State rights, and converts dnr Govern ment, from that founded on the Constitu- tton, to a systein apnwned from the tvihi ll:nlie;tlitui of Phillips ami Garrison ami Freil. Pouglass. It invades the sovereign ty of State, tin J, although five llopuMt c;m SfStos of the Xorth. whith last year voted the distinctive issues of Negro .Suffrage, have declared againet allowing negroes to vote, it forces negro suffrage upon these five, and unon all the rest of the State?.. The Constitution ofOregou declares that citir.eru.liip shall extend only to white person?. The Civil Rights hill compels Oregon to invest negroes with this sacred right. Judge Deady's Code mere ly admits negroes, Indians and Chinamen as witnesses; the Civil Rights hill kicks down all lines and compels Oregon, to re ceive the negro as a political and social equal, and to grant to Chinamen every right granted to foreign horu whites. ,Yet. 'bill making so startliug aud vital a change in our system of government is keptfrom the people, and is finally passed into a law by the operation of the gag in Congress under the previous 'question, so that all debate or comment upon it was cut off The Jbiil ousht to have been sub. milted toTlve people, as proposed amend ments to the Constitution are, for it works changes more alarming and important than any amendment to the Constitution ever has, or that was ever contemplated. The people m every State, in every city, town and hamlet of the Union ought to have been given reasonable opportunity to study and understand the objects and intention of the bill which takes from whites aud bestows to blacks and China men so much. 5 Xo Congress should pass upon a bill of such importance until a fair and emphatic expression of the popular will with regard to it had been rendered. But, instead of this, what is done what has beeu done ? The Civil Rights bill so called is concocted in the Radical Congress; it is rficd through both Houses. The President vetoed it. To ensure its passage over the veto, a Demo cratic Senator is ousted from the Senate without any reasonable pretense, two Dem- jocratie members are declared not entitled to seals in the House, and then, when bribery has accomplished in the Senate what nothing elo could accomplish and the House is "" all right," the odious bill is crowded through the Senate with shameless haste, and rushed through the House under the gng rule. And the ad vocates aud supporters of the Radical Congress in Orogou approve this bill they have never teen, endorse the shameful conduct of their Senators and Represen tatives in passing it, and cap the climax by calling all this legislation! It is revo lution, aj-e, (reason! and only tmitort commit or approve such acts. - FAY, JIALLOltY AND I,AXE"S KPELCI1ES. n According to previous notice the can didates for Congress, Hon. Jas. I). Fa-. Democratic candidate, and Rufus Mallory, Radical candidate, addressed a large au dience, in the Court House, in this place, on last Monday, on the political issues of the day. Mr. Fay led in' the labors in an able, eloquent, and effectual appeal to the voters of Linn county to investigate the principles of trie party which success fully, according to law. justice aud the Constitution of our country, piloted the Government, both in times of peace and war, from , its formation until within the past five years ; and then take a ; retro spective view of the deeds and a pros pectire examination of the object of the party who have had the hand ling of the reins of Government for five years, and showed their inability to act as agents of the nation by plunging the country into demoralizing, bloody war and. fanatical Abolition misrule. Mr. Fay fairly surpassed and wholly eclipsed the higtiest expectations 'of cither party, in eloquence and ability, as an orator. Uis speech was received with heavy and con tinued applause. The ready wit of Mr. Fay bad such a stunning effect on the stupidity of the obtuse Mallory as to so Dewuaer tne latter inai u was impussioie for him,' on taking the floor; to express a single sane idea or convey a sensible thought In any terms. Tie leaped from Consrreas to Johnson, and visa versa, with out receiving any encouraging approba tion from the yawning, gaping, insipid dullards who, like himself had exhausted all" their strensth in trying to discern which wins of their party would fan the healthy breeze and prove most euc- cessiui, out Sim in a auoious siaic ui juuc- cjsion as to what cox r e they should pursue Without an effectual effort to carry any noin t. and " without adducing any argu ment 'whatever Mr. Mallory repaired to an armed chair from whence he arose, closed his large white eyes to take a pen sive refleptiou of his somnolent attempt to delude and convert a thinking peo ple with his dwaddling, flickering non sense and fanaticism. - Mr. Fay followed Mallory, taking hair and hide and thwarting .every pretense at skill and personal abuse;, attempted by Mr. Mallorv.' ":"" " "" " ' ".' '; -. Hon. Lafayette Lane, Democratic can didate for Secretary of State, then took the floor,but having given a portion his time to Mr. Fay. was obliged to speak with brevity.

Dkmocu vt: Presuming a line from the Democracy of this place w ill not be objectionable wo submit the following; Muring the last two weeks wc have had public speaking as often an three times a week, all of which - we would lik to re port, but as we have not time or space we will limit ourselves to the two meetings which occurred on the evenings of the 21st and 2.1. Responsive to public notice on the evening of the 21st a large audi ence assembled in the .Academy with the expectation of hearing and receiving, from S. A. Mitchell,, of Portland, the Radical's ''big gun," so called," a super abundance of eloquence. They, the Union men, better known for the last thirty years as disuuionists, supposed that he (Mitchell), would be fully able to heal up the difficulty between the Presidant and Congress. Mitchell did heal it up. He healed it up by telling thcru the same as. all the speakers upon that side have told. He savs the only difference be tween the Presideut and Congress is that they honestly differ about the difference of some differential differences. He then brought au objection against the sixth resolution in the Democratic platform by stating that it was contrary to the decis ion of the Supieme Court. Some gentle man then asked him if it was unconstitu tional. He replied, il I don't care anv- thing about the Constitution ; this is ap pertaining to Cvnjress and the Supreme Court, aud it makes no difference what the Constitution says." lie acknowledged that prior to 1861 the Democrats had a good record, but since then, he said, they had a had record, lie said they were se cession pvmrathizers and secessionists m a themselves, and were in jlivor of a recog nition of the Southern Confederacy. Af ter trying in vain for two hours to say something to bring down the house he closed; and I think the termination met the approbation of all present, for when he thanked them for their kind attention, and said he would say no more, they cheered him considerable. Hon. S. P. Chauwick was then called to reply to Mr. Mitchell, which he did very effectually. He proved to them, by history, that the Radicals, Republicans, or, if they insist upon being called the I'nion party, had beeu advocating seces sion for the last thirty years, and that thev are now dissatisfied because thev have not accomplished their secession de signs. He hurled traitorism and treason back upou them,nnd proved it in such n conclusive manner, that Mr. Mitc-bell sat calmly by and did not even try to tender s refutation. The Hon. C- addressed them for one hour, during which time all were well pleased and highly 'entertained. The house was very quiet all the time the Hon. C. was speaking, except at times when shouts for the Democracy and Chad wick would make the walls echo in such a manner as they never before did. He closed by inviting them to come again the next evening aud he would re-address them upon the same issues, lie was met on the evening ot the 22d by a large au dience, when he addressed them for two hours, and literally riddled Mitchell, or, the would be Senator, all to pieces. Mitch ell's own friends feel it, and not'ouly feel it, but acknowledge it. We readily feel proud of our war horse of Democracy, and shall always feel that we are going to win when: we match him against such tools as the? send from Portland. If - . ; Portland will send us - one or two more Mitchell's and Dalles a few more Woods' we will carry the election, sure, in Doug- as county.' Very Respectfully, " " ;. .; v A. Citizen. A Bask Forgery. A paragraph Copied from the Oregonian is making the rounds of the ' Abolition . papers, to the effect that a twelfth section added to the Civil Right bill, " expressly provides that nothing iu this tfet shall bo construed as interfering with the right of any State to regulate suffrage." A careful review of the proceedings of Congress shows that this clause was stricken ; out, and the bill as published in the Eastern journals does uot contain it. furthermore, Mr. Bing ham, a Radical member of Congress, and a warm supporter oT tbe measure,' said, in a late speech : " What was proposed by the first division of the first section ot the bill was simply to strike down, by Con gressional enactment,' every State Consti tution ia the land.',' Certainly Mr. Bing ham would not claim this power for the first section, if the last section "expressly provided that nothing iu this Act shall be construed as interfering with the right of any State," etc.' The twelfth section is a myth, a base forgery, for the more com pletely bewildering the minds of the peo ple as to the ulterior objects and designs of the party now in power,; ; ; CREST-FALLEN. Since : 3Iallory's ap pearance here, Mast Monday; the faces of the Abolitionists have become so eionga ted; that X is 'witb difficulty tlieir own children and families canlrecognize them. What tidings could Mallory have, brought them" from' the North ? '' Certainly, not flattering, or why 'this sadness?

This originates in the arbitrary measures and offensive interference of agents or others between planter and free linen. These agents exercise tlto wildest latitude over ju dicial fttrtcti&aff, and the effect produced is bitterness and untagouism between whites and the freedinen, nud a growing prejudice ajraiast the Government by planters, and expectations on tho part of the freedinen that can never lw realized. The report says opposition has been met on tho nouth bank f Trent river, in a settlement with exclu sively freedinen population, 4,000 in num ber, whose condition is truly deplorable. The llev.

In one instance he imprisoned six children ten years old for playing in the streets on the Sabbath. He imposed a fine of sixty dollars ou an aj;ed freedman for having told another freedman that he was about to be arretted ly Fits. This poor old man not having the money to ray the fine, was im prisoned til! the uext dnV. when his son paid the fine, with three dollars additional jail fees. A tax was imposed, which Superin tendent Fitz says goes to the support of the bureau, and is imposed on owners of oaeh hut, for ground rtVt- If occupants fail to pay this tax promptly, they are either turned into the streets or iniprionet.

I I'hiladilphia, May If Tho Academy of Mus:.e was crowded to night by an enthusi astic nudienco to hear Senators Iloolittle nnd Cowan on national issues. Hoolittle d.-hires that the mnn who denies the Union of the States under" the Constitution, ishimaelfa disunionist. lie referred to the many calum nies that had ben rais(?d against the person al charucter of tlie President, and exprcsstsl the firm belief that no man living was more assiduously nnd conscientiously engaged in the discharge of his duty to his country than Andrew Johnson. He illustrated the policy of President Lincoln, to show the policy of President Johnson was not a new one, but that it -was. in obedience to the Wishes of the Union party, instead of the President proving false to the men who were leading the Union party, and were preventing its grand objects and intentions the restoration of the Union and enforcement of the laws. Cowan followed in an argument in de fense of sustaining laws by virtue of wlich the rebellion had been Crushed. The Pffcsi- dents plan of reconstruction relies alone up on the authority of the Constitution and the laws of the land. It the Southern people had not forgotten their allegienee to the Con stitution, there would have been no rebellion. II was opposed to any. amendment to the Constitution. CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, May 10. The Presideut ve toed the Colorado bill on the grounds of in.' sufficient population. In the Senate. Fessenden gave notice that he would, on next Monday, call up tho Con stitutional amendment proposition proposed by the reconstruction committee, as passed ly the House, ami pre? it to an early vote. Mr. Trumbull reported a bill for holding V. S. Courts in llichuiond instead of Norfolk, which passed. In the House Wilson obtained an order for printing a substitute for the enabling act, re ported bt tho reconstruction committee, tbe material difference being that any State by establishins nn equal and just system of suf irage may Imve as Kcpresentatives aannt- teJ before the final act of the other States on the Constitutional amendment. Tbe House also passed a bill to ntnend the organie acts of the Territories of Montana, Washington, Idaho, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. The bill prohibits legislative as semblies from passiog special acts conferring separate jumers, but authorize them to pass general laws for that purpose. The 9th sec tion provides that within the Territories, aforesaid, there shall be no denial of the elective franchise to the citizens of the Unit ed States, because of race or color : and all peroas shall be emiarshefore the law. The 10th section gives the Territorial Secretary tbe same pay as tbe Governor, while per forming duties asliovernor. The House refused to stritomt section 9, aye G ; noes 7 : and passed the bill as above nves V'j : nee 41; Washington, May 17.

What it Mea.vs. The real objc:t of the Civil Ilights Bill,, which the Radicals passed over the President's veto, is thus given by Mr. Bingbam,Radtcal member of Congress from Ohio. It means to "strike down by Congressional enactment every State Consti tution in the land and every State statute that makes a discrimination on account of race or color." It means to place the negro, by Congressional enactment, upon an equal ity with the while man. This is what it means fellow-citiiens, as we have the au thority of Mr. Ringhatn for stating, and the Abolition candidates in Oregon are now call ing upon you to approve the infamous Rill ! Read and ponder upon what Bingham says : What was proposed by the first division of the first section of the bill was simply to strike down by Congressional enactment every State Constitution in tho land and every State statute that made a discrimina tion on account of race or color. There was scarcely a State of the Union that did not by its Constitution or law, make some discrim ination on account of race or color between citizens of the United States in regard to civil rights : and this bill would subject the Governor of tho state of Ohio to a fine and imprisonment, if he did not not disobey the Constitution of that State which declared that no one should be elected to office (and therefore no one should be commissioned to office) in that Stale, save white eitizens of the tnited states. . 3Iali.ory a PisunioN'ist. While Mallory was speaking, Mr. Fay asked him the ques- r r J tion, ii ne were in i on;ross, bou uiasc aau Seward were tho candidates for President, and Chase was to receive the electoral vote of 17 of the Northern States, and Seward tbe other 19, including the entire Southern States, and thereby havine a majority of the electoral votes, whom he would be in favor of declaring President, to which Mr. M. re plied, Mr. Chase. This is the true position of the Abolition party. If a majority of the .Northern Mates elect, they care nothing tor tho balance of the. country.
