"The Constitution is a law for rulers and peo
ple, equally in War aud in peace, and covers with
the shield of its protection all classes of men, at
all times and under all circumstances ; and no
doctrine involving more pernicious consequences
was ever invented by the wit of man than that
any of its provisions can bo suspended during any
of the great exigencies of tho Government. Such
a doctrine leads directly to anarchy and despot
ism, and tie theorv of necessity, on which it si
based, is false." Dtciiiom trf the Suprtmt Cvtf r.l
SOUTHERN RELIEF HILL.
The Orcgonian, some two or three
weeks ago, asserted that a bill passed
"both Houses of Congress, appropri
ating 11,000,000 to feed the whites of
the South." Wc denied this state-
ment, Wc admitted that Senator
Trumbull did move such an appropri
ation, audit passed the Senate; but
such men as spoon-thief Butler, of the
Radical party, killed it in tha llouse.
Our contemporary berates us soundly
for thus denying his assertion using
language which no bawdy-house pimp
and blackguard could excel but does
not furnish a particle of proof in sup
port of his position. The following
is tho bill to which the Orcgonian al
ludes :
Rfolted. That the Secretary of War be and
hereby is empowered and directed to issue sup
plies of food sufficient to prevent starvation and
extreme want to any and all classes of destitute
or helpless persons in those Southern and South
westers States where failure of the crops or other
causes have occasioned wide-spread destitution ;
that the issue be made through the Freed men's
Bureau, unCersoch regulations as the Secretary of
War !shall prescribe ; and that tha Secretary of
War is hereby authorized and directed, through
the CommiskneNr of the Freedmcn's Bureau, to
apply so much as he may deem necessary fi r the
purposes aforesaid of the unexpended moneys
heretofore appropriated to supply Freedmen and
refugees with provisions or rations : provided that
(the expenitore shall aot extend beyond the pres
ent appropriation already made for the Freed -men's
EareiJi.
Xow what does this bill, or more
properly speaking, resolution amount
to ? It simply authorizes the commis
sioner of the "Freedmcn's Bureau to
furnish "destitute or helpless persons,"
living in the South, with "supplies of
food sufficient to prevent starvation."
To a superficial observer all this looks
.very well ; but the action of the Com
missioner is so restricted that the
Government benefactions will practi
cally amount to little or nothing. In
the first place, it is left entirely dis
cretionary with him, whether any
white person shall receive any of
these aforesaid ''supplies of food," at
all. In the next place these rations
must be paid for out of the unexpend
ed moneys which Congress had previ
ously appropriated for the benefit of
"freedmen ;" and in no event can he
expendiri6re 'than what 7ial already
been appropriated for-the Negro Bu
reau. In other language, Congress
has directed a Government officer to
take a little if he thinks best of
ithe food which Government had pro--vided
for the negroes, and give to
some poor, starving white sufferer.
If the money designed to feed, clothe
and educate the negro has not all been
expended and squandered by hungry
officials, he may if he deem it best
throw an occasional bone to a starving
white widow or orphan child. In the
resolution there is not a word about
"11,000,000 to feed the whites of the
i-JSo-aAh" not a word. The whites
jnay active something under this
resolution ; but the probabilities are
that they will .not get a solitary far
thing. Whether they will or not de
pends on the whim or caprice of an
irresponsible Government .official ; and
he js restricted, in his operations, to
tfce eaoneys not yet expended on the
negro. How much of an unexpended
balance is theje ? Who knows ?
There may be a handsome sum, and
there may not be a single jcntj and
the balance, whatever it isf liiust be
chared with the negroes.
We again deny, most emphatically
and unequivocally, that Congress eyer
appropriated $1,000,000 to. feed tho
whites of the South. It is true that
Senator Trumbull made such a motion,
:and it carried in the Senate; but it
was defeated in the House ; and we
opine the Resolution which did finally
pass will prevent but few, very few
-white pers ons from experiencing alt
ihe pangs of actual starvation.
Referring to the sturdy Democra
cy living in the eastern portion of
Linn county, and not satisfied with
villifying us,, the Orcgonian stigma
tizes them as the "stolid hard-shells
of the Forks of the Santiam." This
is not the first time this prurient abo
lition bigot and zealot has defamed
the . Democrats of that part of our
county ; and yet, a truer, nobler,
more hospitable and patriotic people
do not live in Oregon. The hired
scribbler and slanderer hates them be
cause of their old-fashioned, homely
customs and virtues ; and because
they love and reverence the Constitu
tion as it came from the hands of the
fathers. That is all and nothing
more. ; Let him continue to hiss and
ibite. It is not the first time a viper
j&as bitten a file. ' ;
The editor of the State Right Democrat says he
studied the Xew Testament long years ago. ; Pris
oners confined in the Illinois jail long ye'ars ago
were permitted taead the Ncnr ..Testament- Sa
lem Unionist. . ..'..

"Unfortunate Expression."
Last Monday's Journal is consider
ably exercised about sundry "unfortu
nate expressions'' which it allcdges
have appeared in tho Democrat. It
thinks it is very naughty and sinful in
us to say of Marion county that it is the
Gibralter the cesspool the stinkpot
-of abolitionism in Oregon; to call
the fat boy of tho Orcgonian a great,
overgrown, lubberly fanatic and to
stigmatize the Unionist editor as Sa
tan or an adversary.
The last Journal is very pious, in
deed; but , the reason of it is that it
was edited by Rev. J. F. Damon.
He is the daddy of all tho pious arti
cles it contains. Ho occupies two
thirds of a column in trying to prove
that the editor of the Democrat does
"not always practice tho precepts or
obey tho instructions of Christ ;" and
finally winds up by charging that wo
are a "veritable antichrist."
Who authorized Rev. Damon to sit
in judgment on us? We don't bo-
long to his church, nor eat hash at hla
house. He denies the right in us to
use "unfortunate expressions." What
right has hr to charge that we are
"a veritable antichrist ?" Who gave
him the right to apply such language
terns ? lie affects to believe it is very
sin Atl in us to call anv one a liar; vet
ho again and again says that the spirit
ualist lied "deliberate! v lied" cn
cerning the contents of sacred his
tory. Wouldn't it be well for Rev.
Damon to pluck the beam out of
his own eye before he attempts to
pick the mote out of our eye ?
Rev. Damon is exceedingly nice
and we like a nice man. Like the In.
dian's tree, he is so straight in morals
that he leans backwards. He is over-
righteous. .He is wise beyond what is
written. He strains at a gnat andswal
lows a camel ; and if he be not careful
his fate will be that of Dick Smith, who
swallowed a house but got choked
with its chimney. We suppose that
our Reverend brother has read his
New Testament a little; indeed, we
Have no doubt he has from the manner
in which he flings scraps of it at us
If he will turn to the 23d chapter of
Matthew he will there learn that qur
Savior handled certain mean men
without gloves. He charged the
Pharisees with being most consummate
hypocrites. They were like whited
sepulchres, which were full of dead
men's bones and all uncleanness.
He called them "blind guides'1
"fools" "serpents" a "generation of
vipers." Had Rev. Damon heard al
this his eensitivv mrrtcs would have
leen dreadfully shocked ; and he would
doubtless have regarded it as proof
positive that ho who uttered it W38
actuated by an improper spirit.
We believe in calling things by
right names. The Savior of the
world did so, and wc have a right to
follow his example. To illustrate
The editor of the "Unionist" recent
lv asserted that we had the "blood o
Union men on our skirts" that is
that we are guilty of murder. Now
as this is utterly false, in every as
pect in which it can be viewed, we
pronounced it a lie, and the man who
uttered it a libeller and liar. We di
so because there is no other word in
the English language which so fully
expresses our meaning. We care
nothing about being called a "Coppery
head" or even a "traitor" for they
now simply mean one who, in some
things, opposed old Abe ; besides, we
had those delightful terms applied to
us so frequently during the war that
they now sound really musical. We
love them, and we hope our conten
poraries will continue to employ them
"muchly' But when a man charges
us with murder he lies, and we shal
be very apt to tell him so -just as we
did McPherson. He lied, and as he
repeated it, he lied deliberately and
wilfully, and was therefore actuated
by the spirit of the devil. It is a mat
ter of but little consequence to us
that he belongs to a church.
man who , deliberately and persist
ently lies on us, as he has done, we
de-uot fellowship, nor recognize as a
brother. If the Rev. Damon does,
his views of the scriptures and of
duty differ very essentially from those
we entertain.
This much we have thought proper
to say on the several points involved
and in self-defense.. We . shall proba
bly never discuss them again. In con
clusion we will venture to give our
Rev. Damon a little advice. He had
better stick to preaching and building
big houses, and let us alone. He
would do well to preach Christ and
him crucified -nothing more and
nothing less, just as Paul did and
not dabble in politics. He should re
member that he has dropped , the
"stick" and ceased pulling the "devils
tail," and that he is now engaged in a.
nobler calling, and he should comport
himself accordingly. He has ceased
to wander around like a vagabond
over the earth he has ceased being
intemperate (except' he will smoke
like a Turk)-r-he has ceased many of
his little aberrations from the right
way ; ' now. - let him attend to $ his
preaching, .and we will attend to our
printing and "editing Let him re
member that it is Love's Labor Lost
"or him to try to alter our style, or to
teach us morals or religion ; for in
these things wo permit no dictation
from any ono whatever ; besides, even
f we would, wo could no more change
our modo of thinking and style of
writing than a coon can chango his
rings, or a nigger his scent and skin.
