said by inspiration long before Harvey's dtscor

poses and uses. - Now we know not only that "life

Many disorders that pervadd the human frame,
have their houe in it, thrive and grow in it. The
celebrated Dr. J, C. Ayer, of Lowell, has had re-r
gard to thU important fact in making a' Remedy
tocura'the3e disorders. HU Extract of Sarsa
parilla purges out the imparities of the blood and
induces a beahhy action in it that expels disease.
This looks reasonable, and it U true, for we know!!
by pnrxmn'experience. ' Seldom as w. take any

PUBLIC SPEAKING.
A list of appointments for public
debate 'between J. S. Smith and I)a
vid Lojan may be, found elsewhere.
They peak in Albany next Friday,
Ry a private letter from Salem wo
learn that Mr. Smith has been con
siderably indisposed, but his health
is now improving. We doubt not
tho Court House will be crowded and
that we shall have exciting times.
THE COr NT Y TICKET.
We refer the reader, to the oiuci.it
account of the proceedings of the
Linn County Democratic -Convention
held last Saturday in Albany, The
Convention, after organizing and.
adopting a Platform, proceeded tc
nominate five candidates for Repre
sentatives, as follows:
Dr. W. F. Alexander, John Bryant,
R. D. Johnson, Thos. Stites, J. T.
Crooks. Dr. Alexander is an old res
ident of Oregon and Linn county
having crossed tho plains in 1852.
Whether viewed as a neighbor physi
cian or friend, he is ono of our best citi
zens being very frank, manly, and
prompted by generous and noble im
pulses. His democracy is of tho
hard-shell kind unfaltering and un
compromising. John Bryant is a firmer living in
Scio precinct, eight miles from the
town of Scio. He is unknown to us
personally ; but he is represented to
us as possessing good, sound practic
al sense, and as being a very worthy
citizen.
R. D. Johnson is also a good citi
zen, by occupation a lumberman liv
incr in Sweet Home precinct.
Thomas Stites lives lives in Harris-
burgh precinct occupation, school
teacher, one of the most useful and
laborious in which man .can engage.
He is a young man of good habits and
more than ordinary ability.
J. T Crooks is Irom Syracuse pre
cinct. He is a good fanner and is one
of our best citizens. He was a mem
ber of the Constitutional Convention,
and has also served as a member of
the Legislature.
S. A, Johns was nominated Jot
County Judge. He lives in Browns
ville. We are told that he is a law
yer, and that he has served as Count v
Judge one or two terms in Missouri.
George R. Helm i candidate for
County Clerk. As everybody in Linn
county knows Mr. Helm it is unnec
essary to say much concerning him.
He has been raised principally in Linn
county. He has here been educated,
and here attained an enviable reputa
tion as a member of the legal frater
nity. As a member of the Legisla.
ture he achieved a State notoriety,
being regarded as among the leaders,
on the Democratic side of that body.
He will speak for himself on the
stump during the ensuing campaign.
Robert Irvine was nominated for
Sheriff. He is from Scio precinct, and
is. a good farmer and stock-raier.
He is represented to us as an honest,
hard-working good fellow.
J. W. Mack is candidate for School
Superintendent. He lives in Lebanon
precinct. He has taught school here
tofore, but is now engaged in mercan
tile pursuits.
. For Treasurer, James Shields was
nominated. He lives in Scio, and is
engaged in mercantile pursuits. He
was a member of the Constitutional
Convention, and is an honest, worthy
citizen. One thing that commends
him to the kindly regards of the vot
ers of Linn county is the fact that he
is badly maimed for life by an unfor
tunate accident.
For Co. Commissioners, the Con
vention nominated 3Ir. 31. S. Bassett
and Mr. C. P. Burkhart. The former
is a worthy mechauic of Brownsville ;
the latter an old resident and substan
tial farmer of Albany precinct. -
A. P. Nye was nominated for As
sessor. He is a good farmer of Sweet
Home precinct, and is represented as
a man of good sound judgment.
Mr. Averill is a candidate for sur
veyor. He lives in Brownsville, and
bears a good reputation as a citizen.
He- has acted as Surveyor of Linn
county and gi ves general satisfaction.
Dr. W. Lister of Albany precinct
was nominated for Coroner, ne au
thorizes and requests us to state that
he will not permit his name to be used
as a candidate for that office ; and for
this reason his name does not appear
among the ' list of candidates ! in an
other place. V ;
Democrats ! The ticket, entirely
composed of men of your own selec.
tion, in the recognized and usual man
ner, is now fairly before "you ; so also
is the nlatfonh On which thev have

are worthy of your most cheerful and
hearty support. Let every man in
Linn county who is a foe to misrule
and prospective anarchy every oppo

Constitutional 1 liberty every foe to
nigger suffrage and nigger equality so

General Government work for the
success of the ticket, "and it' will be
elected by a majority of at least Four .
CIItCUIT COUUT. ,
Tho Circuit Court for Linn county, at tho
time wo writo this (Wednesday morning),
is still in session, Two cine of unusual In
tcrcst hitvo lccn ndjudUutcK AVe alludoto
tho Stnte r. S, Montgomery, nnd Samuel L.
Donny va. Tim's Monteithv The latter ttnn
a suit for damages, forthoalledgodHcduction
of plaintiffs daughter, Josephine Denny
Wo took Voluminous notes of tho evidence in
this easo j but much of it is of such a natufo
as to render it unfit for publication ilia Dem
ocratic journal. If our dearly beloved frinnds
of tho Salem Unionist and Oictonitt desire
to publish it wo will furnish it to them, pro.
vided they pay us for our services, As they
love sensation stuff as they aro professedly
In tho "interests of God and humanity;" as
they were switt witnesses against Montgom
ery cro ho had had atrial consigning him to
tho hottest place in tho lower regions in ad
vance j they ought now, ono would suppose,,
eagerly to accept our generous offer. They
would have it believed that they are tho cspo
cial champions of the injured and unfortu
nate ; and that nono but Democrats aro ever
guilty of licentious practices. Jf they will
publish tho evidence in tho caso under con
sideration, they will see, and their duped
readers will see, that their conclusions arc
slightly erroneous. It wa in ovidnco that
the defendant, on a certain occasion, debauch
ed and seduced tho said daughter of the
plain tiff, under exceedingly Aggravated cir
cumstances ; and that a child, which was
produced in Court, now Koine flvo or six
months old, was tho fruit of this illicit in
tercourse. All these, and many other ma
terial allegations, were denied by defendant,
not only in tho usual form, but under the so
lemnities of an oath. He was ably defended
by ingenious, learned and eloquent counsel ;
in fact they made a most defperato fight;
but without avail. Tbe jury, after a patient
hearing, retired, and returned a verdict of
guilty, and awarded eighteen hundred dollurt
damages. It is duo to justice to state, also,
that tho cane was prosecuted with more than
usual vigor aud ability. Judge Strong, of
Portland, particularly, won gulden opinions
by the skill, energy, and profound legal lore
he displayed on the occasion. His address
to tbe jury is considered a moded of genuine
eloquence, and as among the bust of forensic
efforts ever made in Linn county.
Asa matter of course, in a trial like tbo
one under consideration, where audi inter
ests are invuhed, a large number of witness
e generally appear cm tbe witness. stand.
We dcire particularly to direct public at
tention to a witness fur tho defence by the
name of Howard. He U a married man ;
yet be aworc, in substance, that bo himself
bad had carnal knowledge of Mis Penny
months before the ailed ged deduction by the
defendant ; thus unbluhingly confessing
that he himself is guilty of one of the black
est crimes in the criminal catalogue. But
the counel for plaintiff proved by Sheriff
Smith, Judge Geary, A. X. Arnold, Wil
liam Parrih, Jjeph Nixon, Jeremiah
Driggs, It. M. Powers, Win, Heed, John
Long, S. Althouse, William N'cwhouso
and Dr. Wrn. Lister each and all sub
stantial citizens that th wirnes, How
ard, was unworthy of credence, and that his
character fur truth and veracity is uch that
they could not Ix-lieve him underoath. IIuw
ard is regarded in this community as an un
scrupulous, unmitigated liar, and hnnce his
testimony had but little weight with thejury.
The defence also introduced several witness
es to impeach Miss Denny; among them were
Mrs. Griffin, Mrs. C. C. Godley, Mrs. Bentlcy
Mrs. Lister, Mrs. Duniway and Mrs. Uriggs.
The two firitt-named ladies testified that, in
their judgment, a "woman who would do
such a thing would lie." Tho other ladies
did not even testify this much ; while Mrs.
Lister testified that Miss P.'s character, for
truth and veracity, was good, for anything
she knew to tho contrary.
The trial of S. 3Iontgomery, for man
slaughter, took place last Tuesday. Wc
were prevented, by urgent business matters,
from attending; hence wo will only stato
a few facts. A jury was impanncled with
out much difficulty; the witnesses, fur and
against, were examined ; the case was sub
mitted to thejury about 10 o'clock p. u.,nnd
in an hour or so thereafter they returned a
verdict of "no guilty." He was most vig
orously prosecuted by J. Quinn Thornton
and P. C. Sullivan. They went after him.
Wc question if two better, more ingenious
and eloquent legal gentlemen could be found
in the State to attend to tho prosecution.
They did everything mortal men could do,
under the circumstances, o convict Mont
gomery. On tho other hand ho was ably de
fended. Those who heard bis junior counsel
describe the effort as being thrillingly elo
quent ; while that of his senior counsel, , be
ing devoted mainly to the law and the evi
dence, was Hevcrely analytical and logical.
Some days ago two radical papers in Salem
alluded to Montgomery's case in such a way
as to prejudge it and prejudice public opin
ion against him. They charged that a "great
crime had been committed" by Montgomery;
that a "life had been sacrificed;" that ho
was "an incarnate fiend," Ac, and other
radical papers throughout tho Stato kindly
added that he was a prominent Democrat.-
Would it not bo well for these radical villifi
ers fo learn a lesson on this subject? This
thing of charging that the Democracy, as a
class, or party, are more addicted to the per
petration of. crime than radicals, has gone
far enough. We, for one, intend to warm
the wax in the ears of somo of the leaders,
ere the campaign shall have closed, if they
continue to prefer these foul charges against
the Democratic party. The truth is that a
more rotten party politically, morally and
legally considered never existed since the
creation of tlfe world. They violate; the
most solemn pledges ; they, steal millions
from the public treasury ; some of their rep
resentative men practice duplicity and utter
falsehoods in erder to compass the ruin of a
manly opponent ; they trample upon all IaW
that stands in their way ; they set a premium
upon villainy by sending those most deeply
dyed as ambassadors to foreign courts ; they
send the soldier to war by the machinery of
the draft, and compass the ruin of his wife
and daughters while he is fighting . for., his
country, or slowly wasting, away by disease
in an army hospital ; they trample upon- all
tbe safeguards of the Constitution, and only
follow its provisions when it will serve as a
cloak to cover up' their outrageous villainies.
ROTTENNESS OV THE It AD I
CALM.
Tholladicals claim that they are In
"tho interests of God and morality,"
They claim that they uro intelligent,
refined, pure, and abovomean actions;
and they charge that the Democratic
party generally are ignorant, impure,
profane, vulgar, impious and great
guzzlers of intoxicating beverages.---Let
Us examine these points a little.
The leading Mongrel editor of Ore
gon is a low-bred, vulgar, inebriate
importation "from the dens of infamy
of San Francisco," Thad. ' Sevens
has a negro wench for a concubine.
Ikn. Hutler stole money ami other
valuables while in command at New
OrleauH suflcient to make him a mil
lionaire. Horace Greeley in religion
in an infidel. General Grant hax been
oflleially proved to bo a dissembler
and liar, aud lJutlerU hunting up tes
timony to show that he is a drunkard.
It can be proved that, while on this
coast, ho drank so much as to cause
him to have an attack of (Miriam tre
witf, and rather than bo court-martialed
for his drunkenness he resigned
his position in the army ami went
home. Sumner, the great stickler for
"manhood millrage," has so little vir
ility left in him that his gay, buxom
wife, not being willing to live with a
nonentity, forsook him and tied to
Europe. Wc hope she will have bet
ter luck next time. And last, but not
least, Senator Yates of Illinois ho
who during the war, wa loud-mouth-ed
in urging on the party "in tho in
terests of God and morality "he
who, while traveling up and down the
Mississippi on Sanitary Excursions,
had a beautiful married woman the
wife of a major on his staff we say
this Senator Yates is a most inveter

When the Hadieals of the Illinois
Legislature elected him United States
Senator, thev knew he was an ignoble
sot. Democrats told them so their
own senses told them so; yet they
eleeted him and thereby endorsed him
with all his filth and debauchery.
We might very properly in this
connexion, refer to the former habits
of Hon. David Logan, now the promi
nent standard bearvr of tho Uadieal
party of Oregon. Uut, for the pre,
ent wo forbear, and ho far from saying
anything against his private habits,
we will btate, that we are informed
that, for several months past, they
have been unexceptionable ko far as
temperance and sobriety are concern
ed. Wo most devoutly hope he will
not'fall during the pending campaign.
It is no pleasure to us to sec even a
political opponent making a beast and
fool of himself. He is the most tal
ented and eloquent man in the Kadi
cal ranks in Oregon. We know the
stock he pprang from in Illinois, and
we cheerfully testify that there is no
better in that great State. We hope
he will not again fall, and thus blast
the hopes of his friends as Dick? Yati?s
has done those who elevated him to
the position he now occupies.
Thus it will be Keen that notwith
standing the great pretensions of the
Kadical party to superior morality,
intelligfcnce and virtue, that many, of
their chiefrepresentative men arc no
ted for their immorality, vice and li
centiousness. . .
Lebanon Radicalism.
Lebanox, March 28, 18G8.
Editor State Rights Democrat:, . 1
Among tho many interesting communi
cations that appear in tho Democrat from
different portions of the Stato we see
none of recent date originating in the loy
al townof Lebanon, which in times past
was so conspicuous for its literary, contri
butions and pithy local items.' The inter
rogatory is frequently propounded of lato
fVwhy is it thus ?" It j is said ; that
"Probono Publico" has run away, . and
"Observer" is running for office- so it
devolves upon another to make good
the delinquency. ? f
The political caldron in this vicinity
has boiled vehemently! as kept up by the
contending .fires of the opposito parties.
The ebullition is a little abated at this
time, as the "unterrified"'at this motneut
of writing has withdrawn its fuel and
concentrated its cotnbinei forces in the
city ot Albany to place in the Democratic
crucible the great mass of .aspiring metal
to be tested by the fiery ordeal of, public
opinion, jor percharice the wriggling
treachery of a County Convention. ' We
are entirely satisfied the Convention of
this day wilf present a ticket . that will
receive the endorsement and hearty supr
port of every man in Linn Couuty that
has the self-respect and moral courage to
declare he loves, and will live under nono
other than the white man's government;
We are hot 'apprised when, but suppose
the African sympathizers will soon as
semble in Convention to ascertain; who
can be found among them who has the
hardihbod to shoulder llic niggcr,and the
impudence to ask white men to vote
them Into Africa. Wo have attended
several of tho "loyal" freelovc Grant
Clubs at this place and and have never
witnessed or heard of such an outburst
of brotherly or sisterly love for every
race, caste aud colorf'coppcrlieada ex
cepted. Tho ladies arc admitted as mem
bers in full fellowship in this mongrel
conclave wo will not impugn their mo
tives of question the propriety of them
becoming members, for it is owing to their
refining taste, virtuous and humanizing
influence that the grosser paMsions of tho
ruder sex are restrained. JJut wc seri
ously believe that ladies should reflect
much and hesitate - long before they give
their names and influence to uu organiza
tion wIiokc avowed object is to degrade
their father, brothers and bu-bands
to a political level with the black,
brutal, buck nier, entailing upn them
selves an intolerable train of social hor
rors. They do not discern tho revolting
objects it mut develono if not arrested.
This political uud social monstrosity of
nijrgcr equality is so ingeniously pronccu
ted by those that command a l.tre share
of confidence that the innocent and un
reasoning arc made ho voluntury vota
ries of a hideous delusion, that were their
eyes opened they would turn away with
frightful misjnvinj's.
Tho principal leader and speaker of
the loyal uuiou club of Lebauon claim to
bo ministers cf tho Gospel and we have
listened to their disgusting platitudes of
mirjzer equality with astonishment; exert
iog the utmost efforts of the mind to dis
cover tho reaori why seemingly sensibte
white men seek the degradation of the
African uicr. We cannot sec it -but
when wc take into conideratton the ac
tual relation that some of them muni feci
for the American citizens of African
. 1 t ta
scent, tueir iooumi urtvciiugs ore par
tially explained.
To insure success in diffusin: this nig
ger alloy into our political and social sys
terns they seek to agitate and intcmify
the heated paion engendered by the lato
civil war, iojitead of uniting with the
democracy in applying the all healing
balm of the Constitution to the festering
wound inflicted upon the body politic
by the vidence of party and sectional
strife. As an evidence of this, a certain
loyal political preacher at the last mcet
iug of the loyal club in Ibanon, in the
course of a political harangue, said that
Uooth committed a greater crime in a
safcsinating Lincoln than did the Jess in
crucifying the Savior. This infamous
assertion nccdi no comment; it shows
the prostituted debasement and the dom
ineering malignity ofits authot. He is a
tetchcr of a public school He claims to
have a eoramiioo from Heaven to preach
Christ and him crucified to ave a lot
world, yet he exhorts the people in the
house of God that they owe a higher de
gree of adoration tj the name f Abra
ham Lincoln, au iufi Jel tyrant that wa
murdered in a theatre, than the IViuceof
l'eace that- Lid down hut life to give
peace and happiness to Adam's race. The
name of this rantinsr, cauting, hypo
critical whaugdudle flunkey that has sold
himself to abolitionism is J. IJ. C.
He i.4 thu p noified so that whenever
he obtrudes his noxious presence all chris
tian people that love to honor and rever
ence the name of their Divine Master
may split his rott:u hide with the lash of
contempt.
If this loyal union party would confine
the public teachings of radical mongrel
im to their political meetings there would
be less reason for condemnation. Hut no
place seems to them inappropriate. We
had au illustration of this fact a few days
ago at one of their school exhibitions at
the Santiatu Academy. Heretofore it
has been the practice at their exhibitious
for oue or two of the big boys to spread
themselves on partizati politics. This
year a different programme was present
ed. A political essay was fabricated
clothed in that offensive ful-omeutss pecu
liar to mongrel ideas, and read from the
stage by a nice young lady ; and it called
forth such & coufuion of compliments
that she i-cemcd much cmbarrafsed if
not actually hurt. Wo felt to pity her.
and hope she will not again be betrayed
into a similar predicament. Hut we feel
nothing but derision..for those that would
attempt to screen themselves by making
an innocent girl the medium through
which to squirt their political venom.
This occurred the first evening of the
entertainment. The second evening just
before the opening of the exercises, the
'llev. teacher came forward and severely
reprimanded the authors of the disorder
ly conduct the previous eveniug. He
declared he had been in public life for
twenty years, constantly participating in

never seen such bad conduct in any pub

disposed to doubt his declaration, because
the disturbers have been educated under
tho progressive discipline of tho "God
and morality party." Wo could expect
nothing better. Ho'said that be had been
threatened with a cowhiding, and we
think' if he did not feel that ho deserved
it he feared its execution, for ho went

to suspend the rules in order that the docu

to aliow tho p iwer of the Court in trying the

ter having stated the preliminary principles
in tho easel
Uutlcr proceeded to review the article of
impi-uclinwMit and concluded by aaying :
Thc fafeguarda of the Contitution ogaint
usurpation are in your haiid ; the interest
and hopea of free institution wait upon your
decision. The Iloune .of Itepresentativea
has done its duty ; they have presented the
facta in a constitutional manner; we have
brought the criminal to your bar and demand
juatice at your hand for hU great crimen.-
Never again, if Andrew Johnaon go quit and
free thia day, can the people of any other
country he tbe - conatitutional checks and
guards to May usurpation of the Executive
power. I peak, therefore, not in the lan
guage of exaggeration, but in word of truth
and Mibernena in aaying that the future po
litical welfare and hbertie of all men hang
trembling on the decision of tbe Senate."
After the conclusion of Kutler'a epeech,
Wilton, on the part of the 3Ianagcra, offered
in evidence certified copies of the oath of of-

GEN. GUV XT AS A DRUNKARD.
.The latest reference we have, seen
in the papers to Gen. 'Grant's habits,
is tho following from a Washington
dispatch sent by a gentleman who is
vouched for by tho National Intelli
gencer, as "the most respectable, and
truth iul source," -from one who
"would .receive credit for veraeity.and
candor anywhere.:' ,
. "Tbo rumors that have prevailed for some time
past, concerning Gon. Grant's hurtful indulgence
In liquors and wines, have been literally sustained
by fixed facts. He has been repeatedly seen and
uoticed j,a;;half intoxicated condition in the
street cars and on the avenue. But on Sunday
last the thing reached its culmination. At about
10 o'clock in the morning he was staggering along
in the lower part of the city, and at about live in
the evening was seen by hundreds as they ' were
coming out of the St Matthew's, church at the
west end. He was nccompanied, as is supposed
by the lookers-on, by Gen. Dent, bis brother-in-law,
and tbe general was in so bad a way that he
could hardly keep his legs in trying to make head
way. v -
