Salem, Oct. 10, ISC 8.
In my editorial article in last week's
issue, entitled In-&ttc,csof Jem
tcrs? i an error so flagrant tltat I
feel compelled to notice it. Of .Mr.
Stout I am made to say tltat he is
from" a count y tltat tras previously
largely Democratic? vlicrcaa it
should be " largely Radical"
Governor Woods gave a soiree last
Friday evening, which was t.
tended by the elite and polite, not only
of Salem, but of the State. Whatever
may be said of the Executive of the
.State, as to politic?, all concede that,
in asocial aspect, he is a nt?il nr.
:bane gentleman. On the eveniu re
ferred to he and his lady presided
with a tact and grace that made all
-present feel at ease, and as if they
-were more than welcome. Such re
ception.? are beneficial in this"; that
they serve to soften down political
animosities and asperities, and make
those of opposite political views think
better of each other than they have
done heretofore.
The wife cf Dr. M'Afee died yester
day verv suddenlv? nn'l cinri .
jife that foul pl.iv has had something
to do with her sudden exit.
According to the " loir telegraph
i.he Xew York World advices "the
Democracy to withdraw Sevmottrand
-
Blair and to put Chase and Adam.,
or somebody else, on the ticket in--stead.
I do not know how much
truth there is in these reports ; but I
Taise my voice against anv such move-
ment. Its moral effects would be dis
.astroos and suicidal, and would en
sure certain defeat to the Democratic
party. Let us stand by our principles
.and our standard-bearers ; and if we
must tjo down let us go down togeth
er. A bill introduced by Mr. Stitcs, of
JLinn county, relating to Common
Schools, passed the House to-day, af
ter a warm debate. It repeals the
iron-clad oath of the school law now
in the statute book ; it fixes the lenirth
of a school quarter; and it provides
for the levying of a four mill tar.
What will 'be its fate in the Seuate I
cannot tell, b it think it will pa?g. It
was "quite ably defended, in the House,
by several members not least among
whom were Stitesand Johnson of Linn
county.
1. have before me a Prospectus of
-.an agricultural weekly paper entitled
the " Willamette Farmer? a new
-candidate for public favor. I deem
the field in which it proposes to la
bor so important that I shall quote
largely from the Prospectus. It says:
At a meeting of the Oregon State Agricultural
-Society, held at thuir Annual Fair, 18C3, the fol
lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Betoltcd, That taii Society do publish an Ag
tleultaral Weekly paper, under ita own eoDtrol
anrl tiinorrjtlnn milinn St. Ae,.B. .V - " .
Tnesday of next March, at $2 50, ja U. S. coin,
per annuia, payable in advance.
" Retohed. That a Committee of three be ap
pointed, whose duty it shall be t' secure tha edit
ing and publishing of gaid paper ; and with power
to obtain funds for that purpose, from the funda
of the Society, or loan on the faith cf the same, if
found necessary
, In conformity w.th the foregoing the un ler'ign
ei were appointed a Committee on Publication.
This prospectus is issued in accordance with
the foregoing resolutions. It i conceded that
sundry attempts have been made to publish an
Agricultural journal in Oregon; and that, from
causes not necessary here to enumerate, tbey prov
ed abortive. In consequence of thest. faihirra m
impression i3 abroad that an Agricultural journal
Acannot yet be Busts ined in Oregon. But the pub
io will readily see, by the foregoing Regulations,
that the Agricultural Society of this State have
made such arrangeiirsuts a3 to prevent a failure in
the., future. Its regular publication and perma
nency are secured )eyond all contingencies. Such
being the case,. Tfo call on every farmer, every
Mechanic, every Laborer, every Professional man,
in short, all who have the good of the Northern
Pacific Coast at heart; of every yocation anu call
ing, to subscribe for the " Willamette Faiimek."
It will be issued weekly, of about 24 by 3J
inches size, on good white paper; and will be de
TOted to Agriculture, Education, Commerce, Min
eralogy, and the M..chanle Arts ; and to the high
est and best matr al interests of the people gen
erally. Its great a tci will beta elevate, and en
noble, and aid the hone?t laboring classes of the
ntire PaciSc Coast, but particularly those of Ore
on and Washington Territory.
Our nobis State is unsurpassed in all the ele
ments of material flatness and prosperity. We
have a mild, healthful, and equable -climate ; we
have a fertile soil, yielding large rMurns to the
husbandman, aud s ich an event as a total failure
0f erops here is atsohtely unknown. Nitore baa
cmocvaf
dealt bountifully with hi ; and the duty Is devolv
ed upon us to develop the unsurpassed resources
of)ur land. Let every one wh can, conic for
ward, and aid the Agricultural Society of Oregon
in this laudable "uudcrtakiug ; and while thus
lending belplng hand to a worthy object they
will also bencGt thciasclves.
If the Committee meet with iuRieientonc.'wrat;e
inent by tho 1st day of January, next, the first
msoiKr of tho Farmer will be istucd at that
time.

This enterprise is one in which every
farmer, and mechanic, and labor
er in ftet all who have the best in
terests of Oregon at heart should
feel a lively intercut. It is one that
should bo liberally encouraged ; and
we hope that the just expectations of
the publishing Committee, in this re
gard, will be handsomely realized.
Salem, October 20,
The House to-day passed the bill
familiarly known as the "Chinese
Hill;" a bill to tax tho Chinese pop
ulation $10 per month. I think it
will pass, the Senate without difaculty.
To-day, also, the House parsed Cl.
Chapman's bill, by a vote of 42 to 2,
providing fr a powerful steam tug
upon the Columbia bar, and to regu
late the fees fr pilotage and towage.
This is one of the most important
measures which has engaged the at
tention of the legislature, and when
fully in operation, will result -in in
calculable good to all the industrial
classes of Oregon.
Salkm, Oct. 21, 1SC3.
An evening session was held on
yesterday evening, and tho S. J. II.
Xo. 10, recognizing the east-side
Oregon Central llailroad as the one
entitled to the land grant of Congress,
came up for consideration. Mr. (I ray
moved that the House concur with
the Senate in the adoption of the reso
lution. On this motion, an 1 on sun

ensued, in which 3Iesr. Chapman,
Gray, CJazley, Cox, Waymire, Smith

So this vexed question is settled for
the present.
As I am about mailing this ietter I
learn that the Governor has vetoed
the bill providing that the Legislature
shall elect a Superintendent of the
penitentiary. I know not what rea
son he has given for refusing to ign
the bill ; but I am satisfied that the
true reason is that he does not want
to be deprived of the appointing pow
er himself True to the party he rep
resents, he is in f ivor of centralization

on this subject hereafter.
TlIG SlTI'LY OY (iOU) AND THE NA
TIONAL Debt. The N. Y. Journal of
Commerce, in reply to several corre
spondents inquiring the supply of
coined gold and bullion in the coun
try, states it as follows:
Sloclc of pci3 in 1SCU. $2OO,Ofi0.0C0
Home product; six years 239r(tfttt,Gt'0
Imported, six year fe,9 ;3,273
Supply..
..$6ll,g.rj,t'7S
Ki ported, tax years
Leaves etock, June 30, 1SC7 $lSi),lS2,S7!
This simple statement of the sup
ply of coined gold and bullion in the
United States shows how absurd it is
to talk of paying our immense debt
in coin. All we have in our posses,
sion amounts to only one hundred and
ninety million?, while the debt is over
twenty-ftve hundred millions! It is
nonsense, therefore, to talk of paying
the debt in gold it is impossible to
do so ; and the talk of gold payment
is nothing but a cover for making the
debt perpetual and rendering Labor
the (slave of IJondholding Capital.
A Statesman and Patriot. It h
acknowledged on all sides that no man
iu the country is more woHhy of i(s con
fidence, or more capable of administering
its government, thau Iloration Scy m our.
As a statesman of experience and inferg
rity of sagacity and prudence of tried
patriotism and energy ; as a citizen of
pure lile, faithful to christian dufy his
record is without blot. The elevation of
such a man to tho office of Chief Msgis
trate of the Republic, would be a pledge
cf a return to tho Constitutional observ
ance which would revive the nation from
,he complications that now embarrass it,
that depress its interests and jeopardize
the principles upon which its liberties
rest.
The South Carolina, Legislature
consists of twenty white and twelve
negro Senators, and forty-four whites
and eighty negroes in the lower House.
What do you think, reader, after this
experience, of the justice of arresting
American citizens for having said that
" this is a war for the nigger, and not
for the Union?"
DEMOCRATIC fillllII.0.
On last Wednesday night Hons,
Jas. IF. Slater, L. F. O rover and S. P.
Chadvvick, according to announce
ment, addressed tho people at the
Court House in this city each one
occupying about an hour in the deliv
ery of his speech. Mr. SI iter, of Un
ion county, one of the Democratic
candidates for Presidential Klcctor,
"opened the ball," devoting his re
marks exclusively to the subject of
National Finances; and we believe
we echo the sentiment of every Dem
ocrat present when we say that ho
made tho best argument upon that
momentous issue that has been deliv
ered iu Albany during the campaign.
His ideas of the Democratic policy,
as expressed in their platform, were
plainly expressed, easily understood
and convincing iu their feasibility,
while his exposition of tho ruinous
financial policy of the lladicaU was
equally forcible and patent to every
one. Tho views of Mr, S. upon the
financial question a question that
goes home to the hearts, fireside and
jHcit of all classes of Americans
will certainly do good wherever
heard.
31 r. G rover wife the second sixakcr,
and he announced his line of march
to be directly upon the rotten bul
warks of Kadical Reconstruction and
its sure requeue', negro suffrage und
negro domination in the Southern
St.ites. He acquitted himself with
that ability for which he is so justly
celebrated, making telling strokes up
on Jacobinism as promulgated in the
infamous and monstrous I coni ruc
tion acts of Congress. Ho showed
conclusively that President Johnu
was attempting to carry out that just
and rational policy commenced and
imperfectly pursued by Mr. Lincoln,
and that the lladicaU only sought to
change it when they found that by its
workings they could not make their
supremacy in the Government perpet
ual, and their nign of tyranny over
the South complete ami lasting.
Mr. Chadwick closed the meeting
in an able and eloquent summing up
and manipulation of the National lit
publican Platform, showing up to the
gaz? of the audience its glaring in
connivencies an 1 gross misrepresent
ations of t!u; condition of tl.o affair
of our nation at the time of its adop
tion, lie pound hot-hot and shell
into the camp of the cucrny iu fu-h
rapid torrents, that it was impossible
fr us to take notes of hi effort, but
it was a great satisfaction to us to see
how our Uadical friends writhed and
squirmed under his fastty falling luh
and withering hail of facts and argu
ments. "Chad" as he is familiarly
called thinks fast, talks fast, gestic
ulates fast, and knocks the pin from
under the Hadica! platform as fast as
anv one we ever knew. If he don't
wake the snakes" and bring them to
judgment yet in this campaign we
have "muchly missed our gnes.
He is a whole team in himself, and ev
ery one whomissc an opportunity to
hear him speak wilt lose a rich orato
rical treat.
AH three of the speakers were
greeted with rousing cheers at the be
ginning and close of their speeches,
and the Democracy showed that the
late telegraphic abortions from the
East, called dispatches, had not damp.
cried their ardor to any great extent.
FEDCRAX lUXTXiAVAUAIItX,
The total amount of the federal
debt on the first of January, IiH, af
ter deducting cash on hand, as ap
peared from Secretary McCuIloek's
reports was $2,509,125,610. On the
First day of August, 16CH, after de
ducting cash on hand, was $2,523,534,
480. Increase iu seven months $15,
408,930 or more .than $2,200,000 per
month. During the Kame time that
portion of the debt bearing coin inter
est has increased to the amount of
$103,209,700, and the amount of coin
in the Treasury has decreased $25,020,-
335. We are not able to state accu
rately the amount of average monthly
taxation during this period, but it is
about $33,000,000, or in other words
theexpendituresarein around numbers
$35,000,000 per month. Now the aver
age monthly expenditure for interest
on debt and pensions is about $12,500,
000, which leaves for ordinary expen
ses of running the government $22,
500,000. We ask simply that these
amounts may be considered, in order
that tiro economy of the party which
no v makes such expenditures may be
fully appreciated. Take this increase
of debt bearing coin interest almost
$200,000,000, interest in coin $12,000,
000, or in currency about $17,000,000.
Take this decrease of coin on hand,
more than $20,000,000, or valued in
currency more than $35,000,000, or in
other words reckoned in currency,
about $2,500,000 per month increase of
interest on debt, and $0,000,000 per
month loss in cash on hand, and this
on the average for the last seven
months. '
Grant draws $22,000 a year, and
pays no tax. He is a useful citizen.-
He is opposed to the greenback dodge;
wants to bo paid in gold. Is that
honest ?

The Deimeratic paptrsallovcr the coun

Gen. Lee surrendered to Grant in
April. lfet5. At that time the people
were induced to hope for peace and a re
turn to practical government. But since
then the public debt ha increasedthe
Government has borrowed eight hundred
million dollars, and raised by taxation up
on the country the further sum of fifteen
hundred million! The public debt, oa
the 31 Kt of March, 1805, was $2,3G(.9G5.
077 31, and on the 1st day of Augu.it
last was $2,ri:;:,f$S,75G 81, making an
iucrcaso in three years of $2GG,G23,G7!):
47, according to the accounts as publish
ed from the books at Washington. The
amount of money, therefore, expended or
stolen by the party in power in three years,
is $2,310,203,011 17. This is a little more
thau half of the debt of Great Britain
a debt the English never expect to
pay! ,
In tho time of Gen. 'Washington the
annual expenses of the Government were
but'etro mdliou$ aud ten years ago, under
Buchanan, amounted to but $05,000,000.
Economy alone can save any people in
tho high road to posterity. But chrushed
by taxation and debt, as we are to-day,
our salvation can only be secured by an
entire change of men and measures.
Crisis. " " v ' ' ' 1 ;
Choose Ye. If tho people want war,
negro rule and more taxes, Gen.' Grant is
their man for President. If they want a
lasting peace, a white, man's government,
tho currency alike for the Plowholder and
the Bondholder aud a reduction of their
enormous taxes, they will vote fcr the pa
triotic Statesman, Hobatio Seymour.

ment in Louisiana has organized a
Seymour and Blair, club.- Jiadical
