LAW OF NEWSPAPERS'.
1. 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

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.

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

DEMOCRATIC MEETING I

simple justice to credit the great mass of
thc people in both parties and sections of

their compatriots with almost idolatrous
devotion. Knowing this, tho leaders of
centralization institute a cautious, skill

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. Rut,

conquerable desire, and determination to
"save thc Union, submitted to unlimi

continued, and still continues to be en

P. S. A few of tho sensitive fastidi

Pro Bono Publico as an obscene object of

propriety of presenting him with a new
coat of " tar and feathers." Pro Bono
Publico has been much agitated thereat

paper tells of a merchant of that city who
returned home the other morning earlier
than usual, and found thc house in dark

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

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
