RAEEY DEMOCRATS !
There will be a meeting of the Democ-
aey of Albany at the Court House, next
hursday evening, at 7 o'clock, to nouii-
.ate candidates for city offices.
.VltO IS THE GOVERNMENT T
A late St Louis Democrat, ly ing before
is, contains the following i
'Is And v Jcbnscn the Oorernmcr t? ITe claims
be, and Ids party claim it for hin. We think
ley will tin i that the people govern in this coun-
exemsr.13 their powvr thronsi ther repre-
entatives in Congresit, and tiiit tho President is
it the Executive, to execute the lairs cnctd by
ie people s representatives."
The St. Louis Democrat is now an in
enseiy xtaaicai paper it is Dlacs as
1 T1T1 . 1 ,
Badical
rebus, and has been for the last six or
ght years. It scouts the theory now
hat the President is the Government
et, when Lincoln was President when
ie was imprisoning Democrats bv the
undredsfora mere difTeretce of cpm
;n as to the best policy to be pursued,
us same immaculate sheet claimed that
incoln was the Government ! All the
epnblicans, of any note, throughout the
ountry, took the same position. But now
hese same men, hypocrites and knaves
hat they are, turn round and, with an
nconsistency eminently characteristic of
hem, repudiate the doctrine they so re-
ently and lustily advocated.
If, when Lincoln was clothed with
reater than imperial power, it was trea-
on to deny that he was the Government
is no les3 treason now to deny that
lonor and power to his successor; and when
hese liumps these Jacobins these dis-
mionistB do so, they simply stultify them-
eives in me estimation or all honorable
uen.
But it is not true that Lincoln was, or
hat Johnson is the Government. The
Government of this country, before the
far, consisted of the Constitution and of
he laws made in accordance with its
revisions. These are the locomotive
he President is simply the engineer to
uide. These are the ship the Pres
ent is the helmsman whose duty it is to
ruide the ship, in accordance with the
hart cf the fathers, over the storm-
ossed ocean, into a secure haven. For
suming and defending this position four
ears ago we were denounced as a traitor,
nd were threatened with imprisonment
n one of Lincoln's numerous bastile3.
The St. Loui3 Democrat says that
ohnson claims to be the Government,
nd that his friends back him up in this
rrogant assumption. Tkis 13 simply a
alsehood of the first water. No Demo-
rat of any standing anywhere no Job n-
on man oi any sense tafce3 any such
rround.
The Romp-Radical-Mongrel party-is'
nost assuredly guilty of mere palpable
nd glaring inconsistencies more mean-;
ess and corruption more fiendishness
nd hate more villainy and crime than
ny party that has heretofore existed, not
ven excepting that bloodthirsty party to
vhich the French Revolution gave birth.
hey advocate a doctrine to-day with
errible vehemence, and to-morrow utter-
y repudiate and discard it. They learn-
d this base trick of Lincoln. lie said
e had no right, nor no inclination, to in-
erfere with slavery where it existed.
iTet in a short time he interfered with it
ret in the District of Columbia, and
econdly in the States by issuing his
Emancipation Proclamation. Ten days,
icwever, before he issued it, he told a
ot of preachers, who had callc 1 ca him,
hat it would do no more gool than the
ope's bull against the comet. He di-
ected Mr. Seward to say to cur Minister
t the Court of St. James, that whether
he rebellion succeeded or failed, the re-
ult, so far as the Confederate States were
oncerned, would be the same their
ights as to person and property would be
he same in the one case as the other, ana
rould be most rigidly observed and re-
pected by the federal government. Yet,
a a few months afterwards Lincoln sanc-
ioned acts of confiscation, spoliation, dev
astation, plunder, rapine and pillage of
he most atrocious character. lie was
ubbed by his party "honest old Abe,"
ut no more dishonest politician ever ap-
earcd in the tide of time. lie was a
ead and shoulders above Tallyrand in al
he essential elements of deep duplicity
nd profound villainy and dishonesty
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, has
I;ot religion, says the Union Democrat.
Vt least the papers state that he has
professed religion," and attached him-
elf to some Puritanical Church of that
date. All the churches of the land and
11 his professions of Christianity will not
Iter our opinion of him in the least, or
pake him a better man. His shielding
l.imself within the portals cf a church
.'ill not save him from the contempt and
bhorrence in which he i3 hell by all who
o not believe in Boston morality and
lassachusetts politics. lie has been a
jader among those who have' brought
pon the county its present calamities,
nd as long as the memory of the last six
ears lives in the hearts of the people his
ame will be detested and abhorred.

I himself, and may be considered a very
roper man, bpth in politics and religion.
f they are satisfied, we are.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
"We clip the subjoined from the New
York Tribune: I '' I; ' .
!,We cherish no ill-feelini toward this prisoner ;
while, on tho other hand, he is a stranger to Ais,
whom we have never been tempted to love or bd-
mire. .That he nas p ayed an impottom pari
makes no difference in onr view. He is just
man, after nil, and in pood part the creature of cir
cumstances, as most men are. That some have
wanted to hang him, "on a sour apple tree,' whdo
others have done likehonor,'isqniteiromateml.
But we do feel that the government of our country
is disffrneinst itself bv its treatment of this prison
er that it njrht to have bronjrht him to triallnng
since, and let him know his fate that it is playing
shabby, shnfflin part with regard to nim that
it should either retract it charge of assassination
or hare him indieied and tried thereon according
to law that keeping him in prison untried, and
not even attempting to hrint; his pas to issue, is
diffusing an impression at the South that the gov
ernment dare nnt try him for fear of damaging de
velopments and a discomfiting verdiet, -
The Tribune tries to throw all the blame
arising from Jeff. Davis long imprison
ment upon "the ffovernment " by which
is meant President Johnson. Now, Mr
Johnson is no especial favorite of ours,
but tho Tribune must know that the
President is not justly censurable in this
matter. Mr. Davis is in the hands of the
judiciary. He is to be tried before a
civil tribunal, of which Chief Justice
Chase" is the head, according to the laws
and Constitution of his couutry. Presi
dent Johnson has nothing to do with the
retention of Davis. It is Chief Justice
Chase that is responsible for the delay.
The pardoning power is lodged in the
hands of the Executive ; and he could
therefore, pardon Davis and set him free )
but he has no more to do with determin
ing when he shall be tried, and before
whom, than a Sheriff has in determining
these questions relative to a man, charged
with murder, in his custody.
The Tribune editor says he cherishes no
ill-feeling towards Davis. If this be true
Mr. Greeley is an exception among Rump j
leaders. They have leen howling for thej
blood of Davis for years past. This is
one of the themes on which they have de
lighted to dwell, and with which they
have incited to deeds of lawlessness, ra
pine and blood ; and a bastard muse has
expressed the wish that Davis might be
hanged on "a ''sour-apple tree." One hun
dred thousand dollars were ofiered and
paid for his capture, so that the popular
clamor for his blood might be appeased.
The Tribune says that Davis is oniy a
man, "and in good part the creature of
circumstances." This Js pre-eminently
true. It is true that he was President of i
the Confederacy ; but he was placed in
that position by the people with far great
er unanimity than was our dearly-beloved
"martyred President" in his Presidential
chair j and about the second year of the
war he was supported by nearly every
man, woman and child in the South.
Davi3 was but the mouth-piece through
which the Confederate States spoke the
organ through whom they acted. No man
in the tide cf time not even Napoleon
Bonaparte excepted was ever more the
'creature of cicuat.nce3,' than Jeff.
Davis. If he ought to be hunz on a
sour-apple tree," so should Lee, Beaure
gard, Johnson, the Generals Hill, and in
deed all the men in the entire Southern
Confederacy, If Davis is guilty of trea
son, so are they, and if he should pay the
penalty due the crime of treason, so
should all those by whom he was upheld
and sustained.
It is a disgrace to the age and to our
country that Mr. Davis long ere this, has
not been tried. Mr. Chase is disgracing
himself by his treatment of Davis. He
should have brought him to trial long ago,
and "let him know his fate." Chase is
"playing a shabby, shufSing, cowardly
part with regard to him." The charjre of
assassination of "old Abe" should wither
be retracted, or Chase should have him
indicted and "tried thereon according to
law."
Either let him be set at liberty or hung
on a "sour-apple tree," on the highest
psak of Mount Gilboa.
Impeachment. Mr. Bingham, one of
the Ohio Congressmen, went so far in a
recent speech as to say that if he was re
elected :
"So help me God, I will neither give
sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eye
lids, until I shall have drawn bills of im
peachment against Andrew Johnson."
"Wendell Phillips is also out on the
same thing, says the New York Day
Book, and he is usually only about six
weeks ahead of hi3 party. A few weeks
ago the impeachment of President John
son was only hinted, now it is openly
avowed. But the question will arise, can
a Congress composed of only a portion of
the States impeach a President? "Will
Mr. Johnson consent to be set aside by a
Northern Congress ? And if the Men
grels try it, won't it make a muss amono:
the five-twenties ? and the seven-thirties?
and the eight-forties ? and the nine-fifties?
etc., etc. The question will be, "How
are you, bondholders ?" "How are you

Scandalous. The teachers of th
negro schools in Richmond, says the
Philadelphia Evening Herald, who are
loyalists of the Radical stamp, are abus
ing and maligning. the President in the
most slanderous terms, and one of the
copies which most frequently grace the
slates and writing books of their ne"ro
pupil is, "Andrew Johnson is a traitor.'

The Entc lion. Burr Morris. '
"We copy the following tribute to the (
memory of the late Judgo Morris, from
the Bucyrus (Ohio) Forum. The article
was written by the editor of that paper, on
the reception of the news of h'i3 death :
"Burr Morris was a native of this
State, and for some years a citizen of Bu
cvrus. He was admitted to the bar at
F'mdley, and came to this place and opeu
ed a law office a short time afterward.
He continued in the practice of the law
here until the summer of 1SG3, when he
moved to Albany, Linn county, Oregon,
where he resided until hi? death.
During his residence in Bucyrus he
was twice elected to the office of Prose
cuting Attorney of Crawford county. '"He
was also one of the County School Exam
iners. In the spring of I860 he was
elected County Judge of Linn county,
Oregon, which office he held at the time
of his death. He was a Democrat,
member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and & good Mason.
"Burr Morris was not a brilliant man ;
but he was a good man. He early learn
ed that "there is no excellence without
great labor," and hence he applied him
self in the pursuit of his profession with
untiring industry. "Whatever he did he
did it well. His integrity was unnotted.
Tn his manners he was affable, courteous
and kind. In his morals he was as near
faultless as the most perfect mortal. lu
his party he was sincerely radical, draw
ing his political pabalum from Jefferson,
Madison, and Calhoun. His honesty
made him fiiccessful as a lawyer, and pop
ular as a politician. it h a pure heart
with his feet planted on the rock of truth
and hia glance continually onward, he
merited and received the approbation o
all who knew him ; and ho has left a light
shining in the path his footsteps trod as a
heritage to his friends, an J to young men
who may find profit in his example. Hi:
uoodness of heart manifested itself on al
occasion? to the casual acquaintance by
thewavside: m" the crowded walks o
business ; at the bar even in the politi
cal arena, when he appeared there as
well as ln-the circle ot his most intimate
acquaintances:- His unexpected death i
sincerely lamented by this community
and will be regretted by all who knew
him. -
"Friend, brother, thou art jrone to thy
rest ! May the rose sweetly blossom ami
the willow grow green over thy grave.
"No friend's ermplaint, no kind d-imet ie tear.
Pleased thy pale chost. rr rne'd ihy mournful bier.
By foreign hands thy dym? eyes were closed.
By foTvitrn hands thy decent Ihnhs eonipos'd.
By foreirrn hands thy fcumMe sruve adorned.
By strangers henor'd, and by strangers mourned.'
The Mote and the Beam. Gov
ernor Bullock, of Massachusetts, ays the
New York Sunday Mercury, appointed a
commissioner named J. B. Ham a very
proper name for a man to receive dis
tinction in Massachusetts, where such an
affection is entertained for his ancien
namesake and all the descendants of the
family to examine into the subject of the
employment of children in the factoric
of that State ; and he reports that their
condition-is infinitely worse than anythin
reported of the condition of the darkies
prior to the proclamation of Uncle Abe
and the opening of the felicities of free
dom and gratuitous rations to the darkey.
Occasional glipises of this kind into the
peculiar institutions of Massachusetts
show that woman-whipping and the en
slavement and drudgery of childhood?
and other specimens of New England hu-
manitarianism, are fair samples of the
manner in which their philosophers illus
trate their principles at home. They are
so busy evangelizing the South and ele
vating the darkey, that the elevation of
the white trash who keep her mills in
motion is of no possible censeqnence.
a
"Loyal." We like the great tory
word loyal. It is peculiarly characteris
tic of and appropriate to the party which
claim3 and boasts of it. The tories of our
Revolution were conspicously' loyal, and it
is eminently just and proper and in accord
ance with the "eternal fitness of things,"
that their children should be loyal and
denounce, as their parents did, patriots as
rebels and rebel sympathizers. Every
signer of the Declaration of Independence
was disloyal every tory who villiSed
them was loyal. Every theif and traitor
in the country, from Butler to Avery, is
loyal. Have not the loyalists, with these
facts before them, a right to glory in their
loyalty ?
"Best Government." During the
progress of the late war it was impossible
to approach a knot of loyal gentleman but
our ears were saluted with a pancgyricism
of the "best government the sun ever
shone upon," accompanied with lifted
hands und upturned eyes in holy horror
at the wickedness, blindness and folly of
the Southerners who didn't "see it in that
light j" but now these same loyal gentle
men are shocked at the very idea that
any body should be so wicked as to desire
to have that same "best government" re
stored again.
EUTLER AND GRANT. At the Pitts
burgh Convention theiving Ben. Butler
was lionized, and the name of Grant was
not mentioned. It is intimated that But
ler had threatened if Grant was made a
hero on this occasion, he would instanly
leave the Convention, as he did the
Charleston Convention, after it refused to
nominate Jeff. Davis, for whom he voted
sixty times. Butler can never forgive
Grant for saying that he (B. B.) had
"bottled himself up where he was safe
from the enemy and no service tos the
Federal army !"
The Snake has the Best of it.
Butler says the rattlesnake is no brother
of his. This announcement ia favorable
to the finake.

In 17S2 llamscy propelled a boat by
steam at New York.
In 170 John Fitch of Connecticut
navigated a boat oy a steam engine on the
Dcleware.
In 178 1 Robert Fulton first began to
apply his. attention to steam.
In lbo Oliver Evans, a native of Phil
adelphia, constructed a steam engine to
travel on a turnpike road.
Ihe first steam engine thatcver crossed
the Atlantic was the Savunnah, in the

A Certain Cure. Tho habit of drink

It was tried on a whisky-ist in Milwaukee
not long since, who after drinking all the
liquor' he could hold for two weeks, im
agined he saw snakes, devils, Ben. Butler
and Thad. Stevens, and jumped out of a
four-story window, running a curb stone
