L., the sneezer was burnt in cfiigy, on Tuesday evening- after the election, by the Democracy of La Grande. They intended in this way to, express their disgust and disappro bation of the recent treasonable, action of tho Governor. They think lie il a conspirator against the State, and as such he deserves the condemnation he js everywhere receiving at the hauds of the people. Some of the Radicals, "of the baser sort," threat ened to' shoot Democrats if they sht Jd burn the Governor in efligy ; but' they didn't shoot; their courage oozed out at their linger ends. It is well they did not. AVc think that there are other and better ways of manifesting, disgust and contempt for a public man; nevertheless it is per fectly lawful to burn George L. Woods, ora-ay other public man, in effigy.? It is custom which was much in vogue hen the Kansas-Nebraska bill vas pendiifg. Senator Douglas once stated in a public speech that he ha l traveled nearly all the way from Vashington to Chicago by the light of his oivu effigies; and there was very little of figure of speech in his hiuii. iricnu oi ins, nowcv- or, ever proposed to shoot anybody because they were engaged in burn ing him in effigy. The Democratic party never was proscriptive or intol erant. They don't propose to gag others, nor do they intend to be gag ged themselves. They intend to ex press their disapprobation of Govern or Woods' infamous and treasonable conduct ; and if they choose to burn him in effigy, and any of his admirers, or "defenders, or lickspittles dare to in terfere, we give them notice that they Will do so at their peril. Woods holds his; seat by fraud anyway; he is, therefore, no more the rightful Govern or of Oregon tham the; King of the Fejeo Islands. We shall ever be of the 'opinion that the Legislature did wrong in not overhauling the election returns; and ejecting him from office and .putting Col. Kellcy in his place. ' Nominally the Democratic party is in the ascendency in Oregon ; but really they .are met at every step they take by a hold, unscrupulous, and unprin cipled mau with his vetoes, and con spiracies, and treasonable plots against rthem sad the State! We will not say rthat, if.au outraged people, instead of '.burning a pair of old breeches stuffed with straw, should hang the Govern .or himielf, they would do right ; but wcdo say that, for much smaller of fences agultt ihe Slate than those he has perpetrated agalext Oregon, many -a ruler of -the Gid WrM his lost his -crown and his head.

Heaven on earth, -i I I H I 1 irmirrr VKUY IMTXIIOTIC. Everybody knows that the leaders of the Radicals claim to be very pa triotic. If judged only by their pro fessions one would suppose that they would sacrifice nil they had, and cren life itself, for the good of their country. But the fifteen Radical members of the Oregon Legislature, who resigned their seats because, as they allcdgc, they did not receive any pay after the expiration of forty days, have told the country by their actions, that all they , are willing to sacrifice for their country is just exactly i.x dollars' worth ! Only that much and nothing inoi J ! A huge sum indeed 1 These same members have also told, by their actions, how much they mte Oregon. Let us see: By not remain ing in their scats for twelve or twenty hours longer, they prevented the pas sago of an 'appropriation bill. If no appropriation bill bo passed for the next two years, afout $000,000 of piiblic money will bo poured into tho vaults of the State Treasury ; but not a dollar can be legally withdrawn. The efleet will be that the Governor, and other State officials, will specu late, through others of course, with these State funds. They will buy up State Warrants at a big discount, and in various other ways they will shave the people with money that has been furnished by tho people themselves. They can make all the' way from $75,000 to $100,00.0, with these public monies during the next two years; and the people will lose that much -at least ; and just that much these fifteen resigning members hate Oregou. But these same resixnintr cntie- men not only hale Oregon as a State, to this amount, but they hate some of her citizens with an intensity that is appalling. We allude to tho in sane. By resigning, theso gentry de feated the appropriation bill ; and this, sooner or later, will causo Dr. Hawthorne to turn the Insane out a a v -W . into the cola worm again. It is un possible for him to keop them a great while without pay, and he will be compelled to turn them loose upon community again. An honorable man would sooner be guilty of maltreating a good aud pure woman than of abus ing and maltreating those so unfortu nate as tho insane. But these craven, heartless members, led on by an un principled, and unscrupulous Execu tive who, if posiible, is more lost to every feeling , of humanity than his miserable dupes, care nothing for the Insane. The actions of these honora lie members prove that they really hate them. If a father, being perfect Iy able, were to desert his young and helpless children; if he should make no provision for their support would not the world say that he hated them, and that he was a sort of human mon ster? The Insane of this State are the wards of the State; and to neglect to make suitable provision for them is as criminal as it would be for a pa rent to make no provision for the sup port of his helpless and innocent off spring. But our nolle Governor, and his fif teen honorable Radical dupes, not only hate Oregon and her wards, but their acts prorc that they love those whose hands are stained with crime ; we allude to penitentiary convicts. It costs -something to run the peniten tiary ; and this is particularly true rel ative to the erection of the new peni tentiary building had in coKtempla tion. But a bill, eutalning appro priations for these two objects, was defeated by the action of the ; Gorer nor -and -his fifteen dupes .'aforesaid, and :soone'r or laterj the: dread necesi- sity will be upon the Superintendent, of turning all his prisoners loose into the world to prey upon society again ; because n9e supposes that he will long advanee the means wherewith to defray the current expenses of the penitentiary; r What a delightful con dition of society we arc liable to have ere long ! the - idiotic and5 insane wandering, houseless and homeless, hither and thither, and the red-handed inmates of the penitentiary roaming at large again, stealing, forging, counterfeiting, rioting ; and murder ing ! If this state bf things shall hap pen let the people remember , that ; it is the result of the conspiracy U perpe trated, by the Governor and the fif teen Radicals whom he inveigled into it. : " ."

It says : " Howevrr much tfco ItcpnUtpann may lo ulatn- nJ for reflgnlnj, Ihimocrat" can nortr iuecei- fully fharge the dofcot or tho approprlatum im 10 tbum." Why not? pray tell. It Is admit ted by all, we believe, that tho ap propriation bill should have passed. Everybody admits that no money can be lawfully drawn from the Treasury until one has passed.' Everybody ad mits that the State owes styidry -individual quite largo sums of money; and as timo progresses, the State will owe still more ; and that theso debts ought, in honor and justice, to be promptly cancelled. All this is ad mitted on all sides. .Now, whose fault is it that the appropriation bill did not pass? Wo say that the rea son why this important bill failed to pass was because fifteen members of the Radical party resigned, and thus broke the quorum. , Does, anybody deny this? If they will, wo can plaster the progf positive on their backs, so thatjio who runs can read. Bat, say sonic, the Legislature ought to have passed this bill earlier in the session. Well : perhaps it would have been better to have passed it before the forty days expired. But wo think not; because several bills were pend ing which, if they had become laws, would require a greater or less appro priation to put their provisions into execution. It i customary in all leg islative bodies State and National to pass the appropriation bill at the very beet of the session for this very reason ; and when the Legislature o Oregon put off tho passage of an ap propriation bill till nearly the last end of the session, they only followed wel established precedents, and what the exigencies of the case imperiously de manded.- Tho Unionirt says "it was not the intention of the Legislature to adjourn on Monday or even Tuesday," aud urges this in justification of the action of the immortal Fifteen Kadical mem bers. May we be permitted to in quire how the editor knows so much, aud so positively, about the M intention of the Legislature ? A joint Resolu tion had passed that they would ad journ, tine die, on Monday ; and we know, from the asscveratious of scorc-9 of members, that such was their inten tion. What motive could any Demo cratic member have in prolonging the session beyond that time ? Were not they working without pay and board ing themselves as well as the Radi cals ? Most certainly ; and there was every inducement to make them adjourn at the timo specified; and they would have surely done so had not tho immortal Fifteen resigned, and thus left the House without a quorum. AH the reasons we have yet seen urged in defence, or extenuation, of the action of the Radical Fifteen, are unsound and sophistical in the ex treme. There is no use in arguing or talking; the truth of the matter is that those Radicals who resigned, to gether with the Governor, arc con spirators against the State of Oregon ; and we do not intend to permit any pettifogging, on their part, to extri cate them from tho unenviable-position in which they have placed them selves.

ILETTEIl I U03I IIOX.T. J.STITE8 IlABatsocRo, Oregon, Not. 1G, 1868. Editor Stat R!jht$ Vtmocratt Being a member of the Legislature, I deem it a duty to myself, and those whom I have tho honor, in part, to represent, to an swer some of tho false charges which arc made in the ''address to the people of Oro gon,' by tho seceding Republican members of that body.1- 1 They proceed, in their "address," to make many charges against the Democratic major ity in the Senate, which every candid man knows to be false, and which do not require a refutation from me, as the Democratic members of that body are fully able to de. fend themselves against the vituperative at tacks of a radieal conclave. But being a member of the House, I cannot, in honor to myself, allow such false statements as are made ftgaiast the Democratic majority in the House, go before the people undisputed. The seccders dwell at great length, (with much confidence of making a point) upon the. fact that the Committee on Credentials, appointed on the temporary organization of the House, reported that Bcnsal of Benton was entitled to a seat, and on tbo seats being contested, it was declared that Mr. Bellinger was entitled to it. Now, in tho estimation of all fair-minded men, sueh an objoetion must necessarily be held untenable and hard ly deserving a passing notice. What aro the facts in the case ? Upon whit grounds, and for what reason, did the Committee o'n Cre dentials report Mr. Bensal entitled to a seat? Simply upon the grounds and for the reason that he had in his possession a certificate of election, and' upon no other grounds what ever. But a certificate of election is not ab solute proof that its owner is entitled to a seat, tor if it wero' so considered no roan could obtain a seat by contesting, although palpable fraud had been used in the election. Mr, Bellinger notified the Committee on Credentials that when the House was fully organised and prepared to act upon the "qualification" of its own members," he would contest the right of Mr. Bcnsal to a seat in tho House. The Committee was not empowered to sit in j udgment upon the claims of Mr. Bellinger to a seat j were not author ized to admit the testimony before them, which Mr. Bellinger, in pursuance of tho provisions of law, had taken before the prop er authorities in his county. The duty of the Committee was simply to ing." It is true that a majority have "1 "c,Mfi ",0 . Js - - 7 7, 7 Tt v T " mcDt rccenl,J inaugurated by, Ihemer!
