TIXE PRESIDENT'S COSGBATU
LATIOXS. The following dispatch was received
at Salem, br Senator Nesmith, on
Thursday the 4th instant:
"Washington, June 3, 1868.
ToIheJTon. J. W, Xesmith:.
I ea.nestly congratulate you on the
triumph of correct principles in Ore
gon. --.Andrew Johnson.
Good for President Johnson. He is
coming round to his first love. He
says the principles in issue, on the first
of this month, in Oregon, are "cor
rect," and he congratulates Senator
Nesraith on their triumph. Hence he
is in favor of taxing United States
bonds; against negro suffrage;
against negro equality ; against the
negro bureau ; against the tyrannical
Reconstruction policy of Congress;
in favor of paying the principal of
the public debt in greenbacks, except
the 10-40 Bends, and in favor of a Tar
iff for revenue instead of protection.
These issues were more or less sharply
defined during the canvass and were
voted upon on the first instant John
son says they are "correct" and ot
course they receive his endorsement.
But, says one, you must bea "John
son man." Not a bit of it. We once
took some stock in him; but he "went
back" on the Democratic party just
.when he should have stood firm; and
we do not intend he shall have a
chance to deceive us agaiu. And yet,
in one sense we are a Johnsonite. As
long as he advocates, enforces and de
fends Democratic principles as long
as he does what is right, he shall have
our countenance and support. But he
cannot have our aid as a candidate for
the Presidency. In this senscwe are
not, and expect never to be, a "John
son man."
P. S. Under date of June 8, Presi
dent Johnson telegraphed to Mr. Da
vidson, of Portland, as follows;
I thank yoa fr the good iewi. Oregon hu
done nobly and it III stand with the colnraa of
Suites which in the approaching elections will re
deem the nation from misrule and usurpation.
Again we say good for Johnson,
Oregon he "done nobly ;" and the
States "will redeem the nation from
misrule and usurpation." There is no
doubt in our mind about it at all.
The Radical party expect to carry the
elections with Grant's popularity.
They think the people want a military
man; but never did a party make a
more fatal mistake. The people are
tired and sick of fuss, and feathers,
and glittering stars, and all that sort
of tomfoolery. They want sound, clear
headed statesmen, and they are going
to have them, to- Chase, or men of
his stamp would have polled a heavier
Radical vote than will be cast for Gen.
Crrant.
CAUSES OF DEFEAT.
The leaders of the Radical party of
Oregon, perfectly astonished and be
wildered at the result of the late elec
tion, are busily engaged in assigning
causes for the calamities 'which have
overtaken them and their party. One
aliedges great frauds; another thinks
Logan is solely, to blame; another
Relieves not only that frauds were
perpetrated, but that many "Union
men " were deceived; that they were
made to believe that the Democratic
party are now, and have been, "for
the Union ;" and that thus many Rad
icals were hoodwinked and induced to
yote the Democratic ticket. '
Now, the truth is, they have none
of them given the correct solution.
The true cause is to be found ' in the
fact that many, who, for some years
past have ac ted and voted with the
Radical party, have become convinced
that that party is wrong, corrupt and
rotten ; and they are fleeing from it
like Lot fron Sodom and Gomorrah,
.and are taki ng refuge in the Demo
cratic party. Hundreds and thousands,
not only in Oregon, but . throughout
the entire land, are turning, with
loathing and disgust; from the Radi
cal ranks and casting in their lot with
the good, oil Democratic party that
party under; whose' auspices our peo
ple grew frcm a mere handful to one
of the most powerful nations' on ' the
globe; that party who never once
oppressed a citizen, and who never vi
olated the provisions of the Constitu
tion. Many, who have heretofore act
ed with the Radical party, are against
taxing the -uhite man to support lazy
worthless negroes in. idleness; they
are against taxing the laboring man
to uphold - bondholders ; ; they are
against ne-jro sum-age and negro
equality; aid they very naturally a
ly themselves to the Democratic par.
ty and forsako a party advocating
such odious and disgusting dogmas.
These are some of the causes of the
defeat of the Radicals in Oregon ; and
which will defeat them throughout the
entire country next November.
HOW THE MINISTERS VOTED.
We would bo the last man cause
lessly and needlessly to do anything
to weaken or , impair , the , influence
which ministers of the gospel exert
over tho people. ? But when they do
wrong when they are guilt of glar
ing inconsistencies-when they preach
one thing and practico another they
should bo rebuked.
On more thanono occasion we have
had members of the white-cravat or
der censure us for advocating the elec
tion of men to important offices whoso
private character was not what it
should be; and yet, in all our life, we
have never supported a man whose
private habits are so vile, and low, and
dirty, as are those of David Logan, j
He has been a most notorious debau
chee and inebriate perpetrating acts
of indecency, and profanity, and blas
phemy too outrageous for publication.
His character in this regard is well
known to everybody, not excepting
tho ministers of the gospel. They
are perfectly cognizant of his profani
ty, and blasphemy, and obscenity and
habits of inebriation. And yet, al
most without exception, they marched
up to the polls and voted for him, and
exerted their influence to have others
do likewise. It is sometimes said that
they vote for such a man as a choice
of evils that his opponent is no tet
ter. But in the case under considera
tion this plea will not avail. Every
body who knows Joseph S. Smith
even his bitterest enemies concede
that his private character is singular
ly pure and spotless that he is a
dignified, unostentatious Christian
gentleman. This is conceded by those
ministers who voted against him and
in favor of Logan.
It will doubtless be replied that
they voted for Logan in order to up
hold certain political principles.
Well: what are they? Nigger Suf
frage, Nigger Equality legal, politi
cal and social the tyrannical Recon
struction measures of Congress
the Impeachment of the President
in violation of all decency, and pre
cedent, and law; the quartering
of legions of armed soldiery on the
South; the nigger Bureau an in
stitution enforced at the point of the
bayonet, and which sustains and en-
a
turages niggers in idleness with
money wrung irom tne lianas oi the
white laborers of the North and
West ; corruption and fraud in every
department of Government; against
taxation of U. S. Bonds, and hence
in favor of a privileged aristocracy ,-
in favor of the laboring millions bear
ing the burdens of the opulent and
wealthy ; and in favor of a high pro
tective tariff for the especial benefit
of the New England manufacturer,
instead of simply a tariff for revenue.
Such are some of the principles and
measures for which these ministers
voted when they cast their vote
it Losran. It will be a Ions time ere
these votes will bo forgotten; a long
time ere these ministers rid themselves
of the stink by which they are now
enveloped.
ELECTION RETURNS.
As the official returns have not yet
reached us, we shall rest content this
week. with the statement of a few
prominent facts.
It is now quite certain that Smith's
majority over Logan will be twelve to
fifteen hundred.
Strahn is elected Prosecuting At
torney in the 2nd District. Also it is
reported that Col. Kelsay is elected
Judge by a small majority.
Gibbs is elected Prosecuting At
torney by one majority 1
We believe Judge Powell is elected
Pros. Attorney over Curl by a ma
jority of about fifteen. It is better to
be born lucky than rich.

The meeting of the Board of Di
rectors of the Railroad Co., which has
been held this week in this city, end
ed its business at a late hour last
night. : .. . . .
Among the important business trans
actions particularly interesting to Linn
county, was the locating of a main
trunk, certain, through the county,
without designating any particular
route, or points to be touched. -
. Next week I shall commence a gen
eral canvass of the county for the sale
of stock, and for donation to aid the
enterprise. . Both the Company and
contractors are hopeful of an early
completion of the road. Should the
people respond as they ' should, and
to the extent that their interest de
mands, it will not be many months
before the iron horse will be snorting

all sexes, ages and conditions, gath
ered in front of the Court House and
congratulated each other upon tho
great Democratic victory which has
ust been won in our noble State.
The sending up of a sky-rocket was
the signal for the commencement of
active operations. Under tho direc-
ions of Marshal Vining and his effi
cient aids, the crowd was organized
orch-lights and transparencies were
ignited and the procession, headed
by tho Band, speakers, fcc, marched
through several of our principal streets,
finally rendezvousing at tho place
whence they started. Following are

It was the intention of those having
the demonstration in charge, that the
speaking should take place in the
Court House; but finding it would
not hold one-fifth of those in attend
ance, it was subsequently arranged
that the speakers should hold forth in
the open air in a wagon in front of
the Court House. Short speeches
were then made by Messrs. Cranor,
Jones, Conser, Whitney, Helm and
Stone ; and about 10 o'clock the
crowds dispersed.
It is frequently and persistently
charged by the Radicals that Demo
crats always get gloriously drunk and
boisterous on such occasions ; but it
anords us much satislactiou to say
that there was not an intoxicated per
son to be seen on the grounds. Ev
erything passed off pleasantly and in
order. A party who awea by such
men as Logan, and Yates, and Grant
-men whom their friends dare not
deny are most inveterate drunkards
had better cease peddling such slan
ders and falsehoods against the Demo
cratic party. ,

A Trip to Ochoco Valley,
Editor Stat Myhtt Democrat t
Having recently mndo a trip acroa the
mountains to Crooked river and Ochoco Val
ley, partly for pleasure nnd to ascertain a
more general knowledge of the practicability
of crossing tho mountains at this season of
tho year. Accordingly, I in company with
five others, started from Lebanon on May
15th ult. Wo found about 15 wiles of enow
to croNs over, mot of which was about 3 or
4 fuct deep, but sufficiently packed o that
our horc could, without much laW ' travel
on it. Had t not been for a freah fall of
snow, our journey would have been perform
ed with lens fatigue, but even an it wan, wo
wero happily surprised to find ouraclvca
safely landed on the Kastern ido of tho
mountains by only one day's travel on the
snow.
There can be no trouble anticipated in
driving "took acroa the Mountains from this
timo to tho commencement of next winter.
Tho Wagon Koad Company have by the
management of Mr. John Oilliland entirely
opened the Trail around the fords of tho
Santiam rivor which avoids all ncccKnity in
fording the Santiam river wit'i stock. The
fallen trees have all been cleaned out of tho
road no far n tho anow which estendtt n far
an the Puna. From the melting of the snow
at the present, it will bo nearly all gone by
the middle of the present month, so that
wagon can cros with cao.
Arriving at Camp Polk, we found Capt.
J. A. White. A more enterprising man
Linn county has not produced. He waa liv
ing alone, taking caro of his oxen nnd hornet
which he had brought from Ochoco lait
April, when hi company, who had settled
in Ochoco lat Fall, had left their winter
quartern to return to the Willamette Valley,
The day after our arrival at Camp Polk
wo atartcd fur Ochoco, and in three days
aafely arrived at the settlement.
The house and all their fixture were un
disturbed, there having hen no signa of In
diana or persona aince they left. The gar
den, wheat and oata which they planted the
firat part of last April, was growing fine.
Tho oata and wheat, which had been aowu
on newly ploughed ground, had grown abou1
6 inches high, and indeed tho entire planted
crop bid fair for a god yield, despite tho
frost which had visited it about the 2nd of
April last. On every aide the tali graa
waved in luxuriant grandeur, having nearly
reached It growth. I have never seen a
country ao well act with grass at this, nnd of
such cisy access.
Messrs. Clnypool, Barnes, Burkhart, nnd
Smith erected excellent houses, which bcio
ken that they are in earnest about pcrma
nently locating in that country. From ob
serration I am convinced that about 100 fam
ilic can settle in the valleys of Crooked rir.
cr and Ochoco. One thing especially i
needed in this newly settled country, which
is a mail route running from Albany to the
Mountain House.
Grass is in abundance in the entire coun
try affording one vast grazing plain fyr thou
sands of stock.
We could not find any algns of Indians
having Wn around tho ranches which the
settlers lal ic-tt, ana inieca we were con
vinced that no Indians will lj nJout again in
that country during this season ; but propa
bly they will again make their appearance
next Spring, when by careful means being
taken with tho stock no danger may be an
ticipated. Many settlers are moving at this
time for that country, and soon the entire
country will he settled up. - .
The Mountains can now easily bo crossed
with stock, and in about two or three weeks
wagons can cross handily. Ochoco.
In the last number of the Democrat
we stated that Mr. Mansfield, previ
ous to the election, promised to vote
the Democratic ticket. He denies
that he ever gave such a pledge. Our
statement was based on general ru
mor; and also upon the fact that he
did say, to more than one, that he was
as good a Democrat as ever. As we
always regarded him as a sound Dem
ocrat, up to a short time prior to the
election, and as we cannot see how a
good Democrat can vote for any oth
er ticket save the Democratic and be
as good a Democrat as ever, we felt
justified in making the above asser
tion. Not wishing, however, to place
him in a false attitude in any respect
whatever, we cheerfully give him tho
full benefit of a denial, as above.

Nine months ago, by a majority of near
ten thousand, California proclaimed her
allegiance to a white man government,
and her determination to restore the grand
old Union, overthrown by Radical perfidy.
Under the gallant Huight, the banner of
constitutional liberty was borne to a glo
rious triumph. Wo predicted then that
Oregon, which by gross frauds was made
to give a majority against us, would take
rank this yjar alongside 'of California.
In this we have not been deceived. .Her
gallant, un terrified and noble army of
Democratic patriots have woven lor them
selves a crown of immortal honor.
They have condemned the infamous at
tempt of the Radical Jacobins to strike
down the President. ; y .';
They havo repudiated their wicked pur
pose to place the Southern States under
negro domination.
They have declared that this shall be a
white man's government as well at the
South as at the North.
They have denounced the entiro batch
of legislative monstrosities, sought to be
fastened upon the country by Radical per
fidy and villainy, ;
. They have rejected Grant and Colfax
as unworthy tho confidence of a free peo

amendment to the preamble, the bill pro
vided, as a fundamental condition, that no
chango shall bo made in the Constitution,
denying the right of suffrage to any citizen

added the provision that the Constitution
maybo changed as to time or place or resi

to the right of foreigners to vote, so as to
acquire tho right of citizenship hereafter if
they choose. Mr. Trumbull Jhen withdrew
the report, so as to correct a clerical error

A Republican i;. li. Senator on
General Grant - ,VvV
iu mw ouwb ounaie, Diay Ota
1802, in reply to Mr. Sherman, of Ohio!
speaking of the battle of Pittsburg Land-'
ing, Hev. J as. Harlan, Senator from lows,
said :
- "From all that I can learn on the sub- ft
ject, 1 do not think that General Grant is
tit to command a great army in the field.
"The Iowa troops have been ia, ,
battle repeatedly under command of Gen-
eral Grant. They have no confidence lriT
his capcity or fitness for the position he
now holds. Thev regard Mm as the an-'
thor of the useless slaughter of many ;
hundreds of their brave comrades m 1
crms. It is not necessary, nor is itrighf
to compel them to serve under him. The 1
speech of the Senator from Ohio might. -
' t' it ,i .7
continue him in the field.
"1 understand he has been virtually
suspended, that he now really has no com
mand, that each divsion and army corps
of the Western ' -Department is under the
command of another General, and the
whole under the command of Gentiat
Halleck; that General Grant is Bccoadio,
command ot the whole, which is, ofcourse, '.
i 1 -, uuu aiier uie rec
ord whicii he 'has made. Avt& the only
practical tendency of. that part ef the
spcocn oi the senator lrora Ohio, would
be to induce the President to assign him
an active command, inia l cannot con
sent to have done in the presence of my
couotrymen, maimed end slaughtered, a.
I believe, throust-Ms carelessness or in
competency. I say rliis not on acetnnt f ''
any public or private grievance of a pri
vate nature. If my convictions
.c vurrvut u vruuiu dc a crime lor me to
remain silent, and suffer influences to-,
originate in. the Senate chamber which
may result in restoring a General to activet
commandwhora I, and the people I in.
part represent, deem unworthy of such a
tru-it.
-
"And he shall not with my consent be
continued io command. There is noth
ing in his antecedents to justify a further
trial of his military skill. At Belmonti
he committed an egregious and unpardon
able military blunder, which resulted in
almost annihilating an Iowa regiment..
"At fort Donclson, the right wing- of
our army, which was Boier" his imme
diate command, was defeated and driven,
back several miles from the enemy
wcrks. The battle was restored by Gen
eral Smith, the enemy's works were storm
ed, and thus a victory was finally won
And soon the battle-field of Shiloh, his
army was completely surprised, as I he
lie ve, from all the facts I can procure, CBr,
Sunday, and nothing but the stubborn
bravery of men fighting by regiments and
brigades saved tne army from utter de
struction. The battle was afterwards re
stored and conducted by General Bueli
and other General?, who same on the field;
during the evening ami aight, and our
forces ultimately succeeded in routing the -ci
emy. Now, Mr, with such a reccrd,,
those who continue General Grant in
active command, wilt, in my opinion, carry
on their tkirts the blood of thousands of
thcir slaughtered countrymen. ' With my
convictions, I can neither do it myself"
nor silently permit others to do it." See.
