WOODS BURNT IX EFFICJY.
From the La Grande Sent met we
learn that our redoubtable Governor
Geo. 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. Let him put
rthat in hu pipe and smoke it. We

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. : " ." ' - -. ; : "

TION1IILI..
A lato number of the Salem Union,'
ivt makes a feeble attempt to justify
the action of tho fifteen Radical
members who resigned. 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. TAMMAS Y-1IALL SWINDLE.

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

they willing to thus violate their oaths ? Why
did they not go homo and thus break a quo
rum, instead of resigning? , If tho session
expires by Constitutional limit at the cod of
forty days, they might have gone homo and
the House could have no authority to . com
pel their attendance." The, truth ia tho
Constitution makes no provision with regard
to the length of a session, but very wisely
leaves that question to tho discretion of the
Legislature,! but limits tho vxY.'per'Jieui 'of
members to $120.

tions that could be conceived, tho substance
of which was, that our present Governor and
Ex-Governor Gibbs merited the contempt
and condemnation of all honorablo men."
Why do not theso Radical " rebels" tell all
about tho resolution and what action 6n the
part of Governor Woods and Gibbs gave rise"
