Sedition. -The House of Repre
sentatives &t Washington, says the
Morning Call, seems determined to
revive the the spirit of the sedition
laws of the time of the elder Adams.
Among the additional articles of im
peachment against the President is
the terrible charge that he spoke dis
respectfully of Congress. For this he
is to be hanged, drawn and quartered,
figuratively. If the President can be
punished' for such an offense, so can
every citizen ; and if the liberticides
at Washington succeed in accomplish
ing their purposes, the time is not far
distant when citizens will be, sent to
the bastile for unfavorably criticising
Congressional acts. For what is a
crime in tho case of the President can
be no less a crime in the. case" of an
unofficial chizen. However, as there is
still a shadow of freedom of speech
and opinion left, we shall avail - our
selves of it to give expression to: our
opinion, tnr.t a body more dangerous
to the liberties of the .people more
inimical to our institutions and Gov
ernment n ever existed in this coun:
try than tho present Congress.
WHAT DEjIOCKATS AVI IX DO.
In his speech in Albany Mr. Logan,
in reply to 'Mr. Smith's remarks on
tho Reconstruction measures of Con.
gress, said that Mr. Smith was very
good at finding fault with everything
tho "Union party" had dono ; but ho
does not tell us what ho would do if
ho wero in Congress. Ho wanted to
know of Mr. Smith and the Democrat
ic party how they would reconstruct
tho Union if they had tho power.
Mr. Smith, in reply, noticed this
point of Mr. Logan, but did not han
dle it as fully as ho would have done
if ho had had more time. "We will tell
Mr. Logan what tho Democratic par.
ty will do when they shall have again
attained power.
First, as to Reconstruction. Tho
live military satraps will bo recalled,
and tho army under them will bo dis.
banded thus saving at least $100,
000,000 annually, and removing, to
somo extent, tho iron heel of despot
ism that is now grinding the Southern
people into tho earth. Tho ballot
will be restored to the whites who
have been disfranchised, and the igno
rant, brutal negro, who scarcely
knows his right hand from his left,
will not be permitted longer to vote,
and thus govern white men. He
will remain free, but lie will not
be permitted to exercise the right of
franchise, because he is but littlo bet
ter qualified to do so than the baboon
which inhabits the jungles of Africa.
White men will rule America when
Democrats again control tho Govern
ment. At the close of the war the
Southern States needed but little Re
construction. When the rebellion
collapsed all they needed was to have
thtir State Governments put in mo
tion. ,The States had not ceased to
exist. Their attempts to secede had
failed; and therefore when the war
closed they were still in the Union.
Their rights as States were not de
stroyed, but were simply held in abey
ance; and the moment rebellion
ceased they should have resumed
their former position in the Govern
ment. When Democrats get into
power again the negro bureau will be
abolished thus causing negroes to
support themselves, and thus lifting
an enormous burden from the shoul
ders of the white laborers of the na
tion. When Democrats again rule
the country taxation will be equalized.
A high protective tariff, whose chief
tendency is to enrich the manufactur
er at the expense of the consumer, will
be abrogated, and a tariff for revenue
will take its place. Bondholders, who
now hold property to the amount of
$2,00,000,QOO not taxed, will be com
pelled to pay taxes like other men,
and thus contribute their proportion
to the support of the Government.
Let the Democracv again control the
r O
Government, and the Constitution
will be maintained inviolate. The
powers which the present Rump Con
gress have usurped will be restored
to the several co-ordinate branches of
government from which they have
been wrested. One branch of the
government will not trench upon the
rights and privileges of another. The
Judiciary will be respected, its con
stitutional powers restored, and its ju
dicial decisions will be regarded as
authoritative and final. The Presi
dent will again bo made what the
Constitution makes him the commander-in-chief
of the army and navy of
the United States, and all other mili
tary men will be subordinate to Jiim.
In shprt, the good old Democratic
times this country enjoyed under
Democratic rule will again be inau
gurated. Every man will sit under
his own vine and fig-tree with none
to molest or make him afraid ; and
the Constitution as our fathers made
it will be the supreme law of the
land.
HOSTILITY TO METHODISM.
The Oregonian of a late date con
tains a communication from a writer
signing himself " Methodist , in
which he charges that we are a " bit
ter enemy of the Methodist Church in
Oregon ;" and he asks Methodists not
to vote for Mr. Smith, because, by so
doing, they will vote fcr "Abbott ;"
that is, as wc understand it, they will
endorse what he alleges we have
said against the Methodist Church, in
Oregon.
Now we challenge any man, or set
of men, in Oregon or elsewhere, to
show a sentence or paragraph, from
us, condemning the religious tenets of
the Methodist Church, or in opposi
tion to them. . We have condemned
some things done by some of the
members of the Methodist church;
but we have not opposed the church
doctrines. During the last ten or fif
teen years it has been the custoraof
some of the preachers of that church,
as well as others,1 to prostitute their
pulpits, and to desecrate the Sabbath,
by preaching politics instead of the
gospel ; and this we have opposed
and denounced as anti-scriptural and
extremely irreligious.' And this we
shall continue to do ; but, we repeat
no man can 'show a line we have
written against the creed- of the
Methodist church.
IIOXDB AND IIONDIIOLDEItri.
Senator Corbctt wo see recently de
livered a speech in tho Senate on Sen
ator Sherman's bill for funding tho na
tional debt. Ho opposed tho pay
ment of bonds in greenbacks, and
regarded it as a "copperhead" scheme
of repudiation. Ho is thus in perfect
accord with tho fourth resolution of
tho Radical platform adopted last
month at Salem.
Corbett, Williams, Mallory, Logan,
Gov. Woods, and all, tho lesser lights
of Radicalism in Oregon, aro now
fully committed to the policy of pay
ing the national debt in gold. What
care they for tho laboring man ? They
would havo him keep at work, day
and nightj in order to raiso money
wherewith to pay tho bondholder his
interest and principal as it hhall bo
come due. Their pet is tho bondhold
er and the niggers; and their policy is
to have the laboring man support them
both. It matters not that tho bond
holder got his bonds for greenbacks
only costing him thirty to forty
cents on the dollar. It matters not
that the bondholder has already re
ceived, in gold interest, as much as he
originally gave for his bonds. It mat
ters not that the laborer is ground
down to tho very earth by taxation;
it matters not that, in many places in the
States, he is actually in want for the
commonest necessaries of life, being
out of employment and starvation
staring him in the face; it matters
not that his wife and children are in
circumstances of destitution. The
leaders of the Radical party in Ore
gon say that the bondholder is sacred ;
his money shall be gold, gold ta
ken from the honest laborer. Logan,
Corbett and Co. not only say that the
bondholder fchall be paid in gold in
terest and principal but he shall not
pay anything for the support of the
government; his bonds shall not be
taxed. He may have $100,000 worth
of bonds, on which he receives inter
est in gold semi-annually ; yet not one
cent of taxes docs he pay on this large
amount. It is all exempt from taxa
tion, and Logan, and Corbett, and
Williams, each and all nay this is
right, and just and proper.
What say you, Voters? Are you
willing longer to submit to these
things? Are you willing longer to
pay, not only your own taxes, but
those of the bondholder? Arc you
willing to pay the bondholder gold
for his principal as well as gold in
terest on his bonds ? If you are, vote
for Logan. That's the plank he stands
on; and if you send him to Congress
he'll vote it clear through and no mis
take. Hut if you are against paying
gold for the principal of tho bond
holder's bonds if you would have
his bonds liquidated in greenbacks, as
they all should be except the 10-40
bonds then you will vote for J. S.
Smith. That's what Smith believes
in, and what is advocated by the Dem
ocratic party of Oregon.
Down with the bondholders!
Let their bonds be $axed !
Pay them their principal in green
backs! Give tho poor man a chance
for his life ! He was drafted and sent
to the army to fight, while the bond
holder staid at home; and it is rank
injustice now to make that same poor
soldier continue to support the bond
holders by refusing to tax their bonds.
Logan says gold for the bondhold
ers and rags for the people. Smith
says if rags are good enough for the
people they aro good enough for the
bondholder. So say we, and so say
the Democratic party of Oregon.
Call for the National Democratic
Convention.
. Tho National Democratic Committee,
by virtue of the authority conferred upon
them by the last National Democratic
Convention, at a meeting held this day at
Washington, D. C., voted to hold the next
Convention for the purpose of nominating
candidates for President and Vico Prcsi
dent of the United States, on the 4th day
of July, 1808, at 12 o'clock M., in tho
city of New York. , ' .
Tho basis of representation, as fixed by
the last National Democratic Convention,
is double tho number of Senators and
Representatives in Congress of each State
under tho last apportionment.
Each State is invited to send delegates
accordingly.

Editor Slate lliylitt Democrats
On Saturday, the 11th inst., Messrs. Smith
and Logan addressed tho citizcni of Benton
county upon tho politicalissucsof tho day, in
thin city. Tho Court Houso is tho largest and
most available publio building wo havo for
such occasions j and long befuro tho hour for
discussion arrived, all tho scats, bar, and
ory plaeo where a person could ttand, - wero
occupied. Thcro wero still large numbers
of persons on tho outsido who wero unabloto
get near enough to even hear tho speakers.
I nover saw an audience wore deeply in.
tercsted every eve was turned to tho speak
ers, and their every movement wa clearly
noted. Mr. Lognn had tho opening of ono
hour and a half, Mr. Smith to occupy tho
samo tinio in a reply, and Iogiin then to OC'
euny fifteen minute in a rejoinder.
V hen Mr. Logan was introduced, tho look
of satiafnetion upon thocountcnnnccsnt soma
of tho more thorough Radical M as apparent:
wiiiic uouoi nuu evuit'iii unoiitonoHH was ao
pitted upon the elongated visages of some of
our local ltadicnl place-hunter, either an to
tho po.titioiiH tho speaker would nsKuino, or
an to his ability to cope successfully with tho
i'cinocrauo canmuuio.
As his lino of argument began to bo de
veloped, and a objections and difficulties in
numerable. aluiONt, rose up in hii way, re
quiring continual evasions, and upon some
very important subjects, entire silence, it be
come entirely manifest that ho hnd fullcn far
below the expectations or his friends, and
hnd not in the least disturbed the euuuriimitv
of the Democrats. Tho llndicnls here expect
ed him to tiudcrtuko t. prove that negro suf-
irago was ngnt ana proper, una mat it ought
to bo accepted by tho pnople everywhere,
but that ho individually wu oppose" to it.
Hut instead of putting it upon broad and
comprehensive principles which all could un
derstand, ?lr. Iogun confined it, to some ex
tent, to tin mean and KelUMi purposes of
Kadicalixm that is to say, whenever and
wherever, in Mr. Logan's opinion, it may
bo necesnnry to enfranchise a few nejiHws,
or ono million, or more, for the purpose of
overcoming tho white vote of tho country,
lor partuutt purfwisc, tnen ir. Logan lavors
and justifies it. While clearly committing
himself Ut this negro infamy, thus far ami
for tlce pun lie, ho did not tell us ho was
o!p,eii to it umu-r all other circumstances,
lie did not icll us bo v;n opjxjM-d 'to it in
Oregon, or in the Territories, or in tho Dis
trict of Columbia ; but he did inform us that
ho justified it in tho latter placo became un-
urv crimes ana ouenees. as no avcrrca. itau
been committed there.
Upon tho great question of finance Mr.
Lognn was as dumb as the barn which is
ftiippofted to le banging cm TaraSi walls.
ot a word of promiHo ii the weary and over-
taxed laborer of the country fell from his lips!
no couiu promise no nope in xue miure lor
lighter taxation or better times financially.
According to Mr. Lojran the laboring men of
the country have nothing tu hope for in the
future but to labor and pay taxes, and pay
taxes and labor, and to bequeath the amu
legacy to their children's children, even to
the fourth generation. This is not a t.leaant
Iiicture ti look ujont but it is all that Mr.
gan had to offer. And taxation to bo in-
creaod from jear to year to maintain n large
t.tudtng army in the South, whow butmens
it is to drive the whites from the p-lls at tho
point of the hayou?t, and to maintain the
ri'jhta of the "wards ot the nation," to gov
ern. These wpre substantially Mr. Ii23ufn po
sitions on logical o puences clearly dcducible
therefrom, and no wonder Ita licatim began
to Xtif restless and uneny whn he bad con
cluded. This was not manifested by an ac
tual demonntr&tion, but by the dijntified
look depicted in the cauntenance of every
Radical present. They wero not perhaps
displeased entirelv with nil of Mr. lagan's
positions, but with the fact that their causo
bad Wen prewmted to the eple by their
chosen champion, and lost. Mr. Lognn at
down amidt a labored effort at enthuiam
anion got a few Radical office holders up in ono
corner.
When Mr. Smith arose to reply, tho Radi
cal candidate for District Attorney, from
f -our county, who occupied a neat inside tho
ar, ucetneo! to be cowering like ho expected
a thunderbolt would be launched at him di
rectly ; but as 3Ir. Smith paid no attention
whatever to him, nor did not recognize his
ftresence, tho aspiring attorney seemed to
eel better.
Mr. Smith then proceeded to discuss tho
political issues of the day for his allotted
time, in the most ma.sterly and eloquent
manner. By a few pointed and pithy allu
sions to well known historical facts, ho let
the wind out of the Radical bubble. He then
forocceded to state succinctly the Radical fal
acies and tho objections to them with such
distinctness and wcr that I feel convinced
that Mr. Itgan himself must have realized
tho fret, that tho monstrosities and absurdi
ties of Radicalism, even in his hands, and
with his acknowledged ability, aro totally
indefensible. Whether he realized this or
not, a very large majority of tho audience
did, and such will be their verdict nt tho polls.
Mr. Smith discussed the financial question
with an ability that evinced a thorough ac
quaintance wfth tho wholo subject and a
willingness and determination on his part to
bring to the notico of the country proposi
tions which, if adopted, would greatly de
crease tho public burdens, gradually but
surely lessen the interest on tho public debt
and in a short time result in its entire ex
tinction. On this point tho people must hear
him to realize tho power of his arguments.
During tho cntiro time Mr. Smith was
ppcaking the audience listened with almost
breathless attention. So profound was tho
attention that you could have heard a pin
drop on the floor almost at any time during
his address, while above tho breathless et
lenco was tho clear, clarion notes of the
speaker, ringing out tho doom of Radicalism.
Such speeches as Smith delivered here will
tell upon tho questions at issuo at tho polls.

members of tho Cabinet, were such that
he must fill Stanton's placo with an ad in

country , at largo and of. the army. Ho did
not say his purpose was to take the matter
into Court, though he said he was satisfied
if it went into Court it would not stand half
an hour.
Stanbery asked witness to relato what the
President did say at other interviews, but

was recalled simply to answer one question.

lly referenco to Eastern dispatcher it
will be seen that the perjured usurpers
who run tho Hump machine have, at last,
taken the final tcp towards absolute pow
er. Johnson alone Ktood between them
and their wicked purpose. Him they
would have removed Jong since, had they
felt urc of their footing. To do this with
safety, the army must be debauched ; and,
as a necessary preliminary to this, Grant
must be captured. This could only be
done by appeals to his vanity and ambi-
tion. iicncc, tie was put lorwaru urst,
to play the role of Dictator ; and, second
ly, as their caudidate tor the next Presi
dency. Such appeal to a naturally weak
mind, unsupported by any moral princi
ple, had its effect. Grant gave heed to
the tempters, and, after fsotne apparent
struggles, became their pliant, obedient
and unscrupulous tool. Htauding before
the country convicted, upon unimpeacha
ble testimony, as a falsifier of hi plight
ed word, and a dirty trickster in the
bands oi the most abandoned and corrupt
faction that ever disgraced a civilized age
or country, he is a fit leader for the Mon
grel despots. If the dispatches be true,
(J rant is now the Dictator of the entire
country. He has issued orders to tho ar
my oUicers that they are no longer to
obey their and his Constitutional Com
mander-in-Chief, but only uch commands
as he shall give them. Thus it is th&t
our l ederal Union is overthrown and a
central despotism established instead.
It is perhaps well that the nssue is upon
us. We suppose, although there is no
certainty, that the usurpers design to go
through the forms of a Presidential elec
tion. There can be no mistaking, in that
event, the nature of the contest. It is
one of popular liberty against despotism.
Of coarse Johnson will be deposed. He
long ago let his opportunity pass. He
has, as it were, positively submitted to be
fthorn of his power, from time to time,
until now he stands before the country a
helpless and powerlcwi man. His per
sonal quarrel with the usurper can not
be made the quarrel of the JJetnocncy.
The atuc party which choxe the oue
elected the other. They arc, therefore,
reponible, not only fcr the acts of omis
sion, indecision and criminal weakness on
the part of the President, out for all the
tual-admtmotration, corruption and usur
pation on the part of the Hump traitor.
fcince, therefore, it is apparent that the
Radical Directory will get rid of their
President and, in effect, merge the'effice
in themselves, the Democratic party must
make the issue before the people, not of
Johnson against the Hump or of the
Hump against Johnson, but of liberty
and a white man's government agaio&t
despotism and a Mongrel usurpation. In
such a contest, unless the people arc un
fit for ttclf-govcrntnent, there can be no
mistaking the result. The grand old ban
ncr of Democracy will again float in tri
umph from the ramparts of a redeemed
Constitution. rranctxco hxamxntr.
