Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to con tinue tho subscription. 2. If subscribers wish thcie paper discontinued, publishers may continue to send them until nil charges are paid. 3. If subscribers more to other places without informing the publisher, and tho paper is sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. Notice should always be given of the removal. 4. If subscribers negteet or refuse to take their papers from the t ffice or place to which they are sent, they are held responsible until they settle Vills andgive not ice to discontinue. i. The Courts have decided that refusing to take a paper from tho office, or removing and leaving it uncalled for, is prima facto evidence of fraud. THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION. The Radical papers just now arc laboring to show that the recent Dem ocratic victory in California docs not amount to much; that it was occa sioned by a division in tho Radical ranks; and that California will, with out anv doubt, sro for radicalism at the next election. All this effort is perfectly natural. It is of a piece with the boy who whistled to keep up his courage. Our neighbor of the Journal is no exception. He is full of excuses and explanations,' and prophecies, and threatnings. He has no doubt that to-day California is "soundly loyal," alias soundiv Radical, notwithstand ing the fact that every democratic candidate on the State ticket is elec ted, and also a majority of members of the Legislature are Democrats. One of the assertions which he makes is, that the Democracy of California were careful to say nothing in their platform antagonistic to the princi ples of the republican party. Let us examine this position a few moments. The platform of the California Dem ocratic party, adopted the 19th of June last, and on which every Demo cratic candidate fairly and squarely placed himself prior to the election, contains sixteen Resolutions, embrac ing as many separate and distinct is sues. The third resolution declares that " we regard the course of Con gress in what are known as the recon struction measures of that bodv, as harsh, illiberal and oppressive, and more likely to result in a hollow truce than in enduring peace." Will the Journal prete nd that this plank is not antagonistic to some of the pet meas ures of the Radicals ? One of the principles or dogmas of the Radical party is, that the seceded or Southern States, having been com pletely conquered, arc now wholly at the mercy of the conquerors; that they have no rights except the inesti" mable one of being hung ; tltat they are now out of the Union, and that hence it is the dutv and right of Con gress to regard them as Territories, or conquered provinces, subject to be dealt with in such manner as their masters may see proper to adopt. One of the resolutions in the platform of the Democracy of California de clares that this scheme of reducing a portion of the United States to Terri tories, and stripping them of the rights enjoyed from the foundation of the Government, is absolutely opposed to the dearest provisions of the feder al Constitution, and to any sound idea of practical statesmanship ; that it is dangerous as a precedent and thor oughly antagonistic to those princi ples of reserved rights and local self government, which underlie our Re publican system. Does the Journal pretend that this plank is not antago nistic to the reconstruction measures of his party ? Again : The Radical party aro now boldly fit vo ring negro suffrage, and indeed negro equality legally, po litically and socially. Gorham advo cated this doctrine in his letters and speeches during the late canvass; so did all the Radical candidates on the State ticket. But, in direct antago nism to this, the Democratic platform declares that it is " impracticable to maintain republican institutions based upon the suffrages of negroes ; " and that the doctrines avowed by the Rad ical leaders, of indiscriminate suf frage regardless of race, color or qual ification, if carried into practice, would end in the degradation of the white race, and the speedy destruc tion of the Government. Again : The Radical party, not only of California but of the Union, are against the taxing of the U. S. Bonds. They hold that about one- third of the entire taxable property of the Union should be exempt from taxation for county, town, municipal or federal purposes. They believe that the bond-holder should remain free from taxation ; that the toiling, working millions should pay their own taxes and his, also. But the Cal ifornia Democratic platform holds .this is all, wrong ; and that all taxa .tion should bo equal and uniform. We might spin out this article in definite! j, showing conclusively that .the California Democracy did enunci .ate principles, in their platform, that jire fintagOEistie to those held by the Republican p irty ; but it is unneces sary to pursue this subject longer. iriiini l i I What wo havo already adduced on this point, is proof positive. The Journal might as well acknowledge, first as last, that tho battle in Califor nia was one of principle; that tho is sues were fairly and fully stated, and u,:uuic reasuiM") UUJ lluuinu,u party were victorious, is because many men, belonging to tho Radical party, have renounced their treason- Wo and destructive heresies and ranged themselves under tho Demo- t.. j!.. ...1 V cratio banner This revolution is not confined to California. A herever elections havebcen held, the same phe- nomena are observable. Montana for merly Radical, recently elected Kav- anaugh, the Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress, by a large ma- jority. Maine, though she is still Radical, yet the Democracy have re- Uuced tho lormcr Hailical majorities about sixteen thousand. So it will be r;cuturo lM h,u imparted to it au un everywhere. Tho conservative por- wuu(C(l impetus ; and it i, montly due to tion of the Radical party are surfeited tho establishment of State and County with negro equality ; they aro amaz- ed at the corruption, rottenness and tyranny of their party, and many of them are deserting it as rats flee from a sinking ship. We rejoice to see them coming. It is a harbinger of better davs. Most cordiallv do we welcome them. Thev have enacted m the prodigal long enough; they have spent our common substance in ri otous living long enough; and now that thev are coming back to the out spread arms of tho Democracy, we are in favor of killiuir the fatted calf and having a good time generally. Come on, brethren; tho bars are still down; the fold is not yet quite full, there is vet room left for a few more us have a jolly, good time together. DEMOCRACY VS. RADICALISM. We clip the following from tho Salem Unionist: Sheriff Smith of Linn ccuntr U malinr rul!io speeches. Perhaps he is expUinin? t the ."jio lav frajon war ni uriiuriucut ix so large. If that U hU "theme, the people will lutea with J aeep imere.i. Sheriff Smith is not explaining to tho people thc reasons why his delinquent tax list is so large. But we will. The total delinquent tax of Linn county, at present, is S12.558,S9 When Mr. Smith came into office, thc total delinquent tax was $0,003,04. This amount, subtracted from thc present . i ji- tt ecrinr I ujui uciiui ucui ui. ltiil.i cj.cm.jii. n i he amount ofdelinouent tax which ha., 1 ' C 1 I ' I accrued since the present sheriff came into office. Of this amount about $800 have 11 i.iJIM l eopie cxcia.i aioiii!uujcnt iu uic County Exhibit leavin- 65.0ai.05 M tut iiAtnni ifolinmiont Hr f.,r rl,t, sheriff should beheld responsible: anJ he ha3 nearly a year to collect it in before j settlement. We will guarantee that thc delinquent tax cf Linn county will be as closely collected up, by that time, as the nature of the case will admit. Instead of beinjr censured, Mr. Smith is descrv- c - , . mg of praise for collecting as much as " 0 I ie has of the delinquent tax; and indeed Judge Geary did recently remark, in I open court, that Sheriff S. was one of the best tax collectors this county has ever . , . -i.i had-an encomium very justly merited. Democratic officers generally do tho clean thing. It is tho Radicals who run coun- tics, and States, and the nation in debt beyond all ability to pay; who go out . . , 1 0 ot otace leaving larije delinquent tax- w taiku .tit vt swt'Jvt', u 1 1 v iij . t invii lists for their Democratic successors to claims to thc ancient landmarks and al collect: who filch and steal from the low it to fall into thc hands ot the c?:o- public crib till their eyes and paunches I stand out with fatness. o party in the - tide of time has ever appeared that was so corrupt, so foul, so rotten as is the Radical party. Once in a while, some officer, under Democratic Administra- money; but where one dollar was thus filched from the public treasury, one thousand dollars have been stolen by the n . , . , . . . . lumicai narpies, thieves ana scounUrets wno have held the reins ot government during the last six years. The people are beginning to understand these facts ; and hence we seer State after State rang ing themselves under the banners of the Democracy again. DEMOCRATIC MEETING I There will be a Mass Meeting of thc Democracy of Benton County, at Corval- lis, on Saturday, the 28th day of Septem- ber, at which time the revolutionary poli- ey of Congress Will be fully discussed. AH persons who would assist in pre- serving civil and religious liberty; in the advancement of the Federal Constitution as the supreme law of the land : in dc- t . . , ' government, and in favor of equal taxa- tion, are cordially invited to participate. Judge Hayden, Judge Strong and oth er Democratic speakers are expected to be present and address the meeting. , John Burnett, Ch'mn. Dem. Co. Com. Fun' at the State Faie.

Knowing this, tho leaders of centralization institute a cautious, skill ful and systematic attack upon thc Gov eminent to override, and trample down the Constitutional rights of the people, and to disguise their nefarious designs, and conceal from popular view their ulti mate results, they appealed to the patriot ism of the people, and direct attention to the destruction of the Government by plotting traitors disclaiming any in tentioq to infringe in any way upon thc constitutional rights of the people.

Thus it seems the people are meekly accepting the " situation " assigned them by the mongrel military occupants of the Government.

But it is to be fowled upon the democracy and their white friends everywhere, we should denounce and re sist it at all hazzards, and to tho last ex tremity as an abhorrent violation of law, both human and divine. The tune is at hand that we should unmask all political hypocrites, and every man who claims the virtues of a demo crat must openly and defiantly assault the negroequality monster, and all other kinds of enormities of the Disuniting Loyalty party. Some apparently well-meaning and intelligent mcn contend that it is es sential to success to deal iu policy" iu order to sccuro tho corporation of tho conservative clement. Wc think it much safer, and far more noblo and houorablo to allow this conservative element to re main just where it is, that a few more turns of tho "loyal" screw may bring them to their eeuscs, Besides, wc know that a largo majority of the voters of Oregon desire, and will demand the redemption of our State up on tho ancient principles of democracy. Such at least are thc convictions of a State Rights Ddmocrat. P. S. A few of tho sensitive fastidi ous censors of Lebanon, seem to regard Pro Bono Publico as an obscene object of charity. The offence given to their high toned morals, moves them to consider tho propriety of presenting him with a new coat of " tar and feathers." Pro Bono Publico has been much agitated thereat because," 6inco their chaste and charitable design ha3 been under consideration a startling amount of feathers have left his henroost. Servep Him Right.- A Milwaukee paper tells of a merchant of that city who returned home the other morning earlier than usual, and found thc house in dark ness. His wife explained -that 6he"was watching the street in the moonlight." The planation was satisfactory, and the sen tldman seated himself upon the sofa beside his wife. His foot came in contract with something under the sofa which attracted his attention. He caught hold of what appeared to be a man's boot, and hauled from beneath the sofa one of his bosom friends and near neighbors. In vain the man and his wife protested that thc scheme was devised only to scare him ; he belabored him most soundly with a rattan, and ended by kicking him down the front stairs into the street, minus coat ana hat lice seeker, a blind lunatic, or bereft of you know, for "three or more persons," to I'ariy mtMt vnat they say.'

To DesChutks and Back. Sam Hcadrick, Esq., informs us that on his late expedition to examine thc illamettc and DesChutes Wo iron Road, preparatory to its acceptance by ttie governor on oc- half of the State, he went over the whole lino of the road from J.ebanon, in J, on County, to thc DesChutes river, a dis- tance of 101 miles, and found it to be a good passable wagon road, and has so re ported it. bcvcral companies were met - . m m . crossing tho mountains to seek for homes in some of the fertile valleys beyond. Tho distance from the crossing on tho DesChutes to Canyon City is said to bo 180 miles, or thereabouts. Mr. II, met two men in a light hac. who made the journey from Canyon City to Albany in eighty hours actual travel. As tho distance from Aiua"y t0 tn0 cs- Chutcs crossing is 117 miles; tho whole distance from Albany to Canyon City is about 300 miles j over which an 0 team, two years sinco hauled 5,000 pounds of freight. The road beyond the DesChutes ford has been traversed by teams for a number of years, as it is used by wagons from all the southern counties, after crossing by the several roads Eugene, ITmnoua and Rocue river. As the road has boen properly surveyed aqd measured. wo hope to get a correct table of the disr tanccs beyond tho DpsUhutes.-Hsaietu Record, . -,, I, O. G. T.
