Til CI II l OL'UTII I'LASiK, Wo were at a loss for Homo time to boo the exact point to bo attained by the Radicals in their terrific howl against repudiation. Had there boon a repudiation plank ia the Albany Platform the problem would have been of easy solution. But such ia not the cane. Then why is it that ev er niuco tho opening of tho campaign every Radical orator and editor has been diligently eng getl in manufac turing and promulgating tho prepoa terous falsehood ? Tho 4th Resolution of tho Portland Platform furnishes an answer in these words: "That tho national honor requires tho payment of tho public indebtedness in tho ut most good faith to all creditors at homo or abroad, not only according to the letter, but (he spirit if the law under which it vm contracted." Hero then, wo have, in a Binglo par agraph, a key-note to tho wholo pro gramme of tho Radical campaign : It was conceived in duplicity, was born in mendacity, and ia having its being iu the hlimo and corruption of a mer ccnary horde of public plunderers. It ia a fitting preludo to tho infamous design of a corrupt party striving to maintain its supremacy iu bo unwor thy a manuer. Bv diverting tho at tention of tho people of this Slate froni the letter and ?jirit of that 4lh resolution, by tho specious cry of re pudiation, tho Radicals had hoped to march on to vietorv bv tho assistance of tho votes that could only thus be obtained from the honest, honorable government. Tho system is a gratui- iaud hard-fisted yeomanry of tho State, ty to private speculators of twenty By charging repudiation upon the millions avear--an amount that can Democratic partv the Radicals had bo made to cancel the entire public ; hoped to add the name of Oregon to debt according to Secretary Bout- j the list of States whoso voice and vote well's estimate, in less than thirty-four would favor tho payment of tho bond years, cd debt in pAd coin of tho United If Congress would only care less for ; States, or, in the language of their monopolies than for tho interest of ;4tl; resolution, "according to the spir tho whole people, it would wipe out na-; it of the contract."

The National Banks - constitute a part, ond a prominent part, cf tho mo nopoly system inaugurated and sought to bo perpetuated in tho country by the Republican party. It has al ready grown into a power so gigantic that it has obtained absolute control of Congress and can therefore over ride the popular will and defy popu laf sentiment. It is said that a major ity of the members of Congress arc interested directly or indirectly, in National Banks, tho maintainanco of which is a perpetual war upon tho rights of tho people. Tho Washington correspondence of tho New York Herald of April 30th ays: "Tho strength of tho national bank interest is beginning to develop itself, esnocially in tho House. Members from tho .West boast that no measure can go through that is inimi cal to the banks. The same is also true of the Southern members." There is no doubt but that this national bank interest, already no strong, will continue to grow stronger. It is already strong enough to inter dict any measure that threatens to im pair the least of iis vast privileges. If in its infancy, it is so powerful, what may wo not reasonbly fear from it when it shall have reached a more mature age ? The bank circulation should bo ex changed for government paper.

Therefore wo will was ever so strong, still, there is not 'admonish our Radical friends of tho .the gold with which to do it ; there- evils that beset their paths; of the al- tsaejwswa . i i s J1ETKOPOLITAN LOGIC. In our article of last week, in which wo endcuvorod to show that tho 8th resolution does not mean repudiation of any part of tho public debt, wo have touched up tho sensitive nature of tho Oreyouian' to such an extent that it has becomo uuballanccd and been compelled to resort to that der nier resource unmeaning invectives and bungling efforts at humor to cov er up its stupidity. When a journal that professes respectability answers any given proposition by exclaiming "sago conclusions," it confesses its in ability to reply by argument. When that journal asks "how does tho Demo crat propose to get rid of tho semi annual interest exct'T t by repudiating tho principal ?" as an answer to the plain language of tho resolution that the Democratic party propose to pay tho principal uud thus stop tho inter est its obtuHencss is only equalled by its cfl'ronttry. And when that paper insists that urging tho payment of tho priucipal and interest according to the terms tf tho contract is repudiation, wo can only say what Goldsmith said of tho village pedagoguo : "In arguing to t'.iu ur."ii, oimip I hi. nkill. For rven lliou-li a-Mini-lio 1 bo could wrj;ue t'll." "The fanciful division" of Unit 8th resolution is another thorn in tho side of our ucrobutic cotcmporary, aud be trays the illy-concealed chagrin, with which his heart is fostering, at tho fu tile efforts it has made to fasten upon tho Democratic party its pet theory of repudiation. While thero was uny difference Ix'tween Democratic jour nals, the Ori-twiinii was daily patting one side on the back and taunting tho other to e ngage iu controversy. When that failed it turned and now assails us as a repudiationist. That journal is bound to admit, if a truthful ad mission can by any possibility lo ex torted from it, that we have earnestly and consistently opposed repudiation during the campaign. An I when wo, in answer to tho continued clamor of the Oretjnuian, make that resolution sustain and interpret itself ajfiiiil re pudiation, wo are gravely told that our position is undignified and that we are to be a laughing stock for everyldy. And this is the logic of a metropolitan daily journal, that arrogates to itself brains, c insistency and respectability. When we how by the resolution itse-lf that it means payment according to the tt-rnii of the contract the Oreymiau re plies : "Why lias not the convention so declared?'' Let us apply this same style of logic to the assertion of that journal, that the resolution means re pudiation, and would it not have reason to complain of unfairness? Wo arc gla l that it has opened its batteries upon i4. Wo would rejoice were it a foeumn more worthy of our ?teel.

We like to accommodate a friend. We are particularly anxious to accom modate a very dear friend like the Or egoriian by believeing all that be say. When that paper of May 4th reached us, we found among other things dished up for that day, the following tit-bit j Mr. Slater's new dodgo is to " pay" the nation at debt ly inuiint grtrnbuckt tnowjh U mtel tht WIImI.K AMOflHT. Of course the italics and small cap's are ours. In keeping with the spirit of accommodation claimed in the first part of tms paragraph, we gave this quota tion the fullest credit. It indicated the position of tho Democratic party everywhere. It indicated tho position of the Dkmocrat on the vital eighth resolution. It indicated what the posi tion of every Democratic nominee in the State ought to be. And we were glad to find that it indicated Mr. Slater's position; particularly so, inasmuch as an attempt had been made to make him appear to endorse the nonsen sical anil preposterous " gold stand ard" theory, or tho Fay platform (which is the gold standard theory run to seed.) But, as if to show how unstable are all things human, only two days from the time the above ex tract mode its appearance, the Oregon ian came to hand with another refer ence to Mr. Slater's position, to-wit (wo quote from the issue of May Cth). ll'j still explains "equitabls adjustment mean tbat Ihe gold valuu of ihe bonds at ihe time llr-y wcrv sold by the liuveranment shatl be at' crrtainc'J. ami tni-y shall lie settled or paid on that bans. The turplu. or "bonus. he calls it, is of eoiir'e lo be rejected or repudiated. Now this overtaxes our credulity, The Oregonian, making a single speech the subject of its comments, assigns to Mr. Slater two directly opposite positions upon tho name question and all within tho space of two days We hope tho Orcgonian will not be of fended if we most respectfully, yet firmly, decline to bestow upon both oi these statements our full and implicit belief. WASTED, S50 MAJORITY. The Democratic State ticket wants a majority of 350 votes, in Linn coun 'ty and that majority it expects to get. If every Democrat does his duty it will get it. We must not be contented with a respectable majority. We want one that isoverwhelniing. Linn ought to give the largest majority that is giv en in the State, on either, side, and she will most certainly do so. The Radicals concede ns 200. Bat by nearly doubling that Lumber, we shall teach them how to estimate majorities in the future. We send greeting to our friends in all parts of the State nd confidently assure them that Linn will more than stand Marion off this year. - - Thb Oregonian of the 5th instant, speaking of the 8th resolution of the Democratic platform,' eays: "It is singular, indeed, that any difference of opinion should arise as to the in terpretation of a document that in terprets . itself." ' Now this exactly what we have been thinking and urg ing for some time; and we are very much pleased at this manifestation of returning rearon on the part of the Oregonian. Before the campaign ia oyer it will require considerable argu ment, no doubt, to convince that pa per, that there -was any reasonable ground for more than one opinion about the meaning of the immortal 8th resolution,' anxl the man who will dare insinuate that equitable adjust ment could be tortured to mean repu diation will be looked at as unfit to run at large, and pointed out as ' a proper subject for the ' issuance of a eommampn de lunatic? inqiiirendo. . .. Remember, You can have the Dem ocrat until after .election tor twenty-five eente. "'. - " ' 3 fore let them be paid in "lawful mon ey." Tho absence of gold should not impose upon the peo; le any such dire necessity as the repeated yayment of the jrincijal by tho continued ay ment of the interest. most inevitable destruction that such a course of conduct will bring upon their heads, and urgo upon them to forsake their serpentine ways and walk in the uprightness of their manhood in the future. Tne Democrat. aUcmpl'ng to argue against repudiation, is by its own arguiueut committed t j tbe odious doctrine. It siys that the seini-anuu- al interest is one of tbe "enormous expenses of Kadieal tnal-adniinirtration. Then, cf courne, it would cut off this "expen c" at oi cc. l.iLtiu tbe out-ei of bis argument thut paper thus con victs itself of what it calls in am. her article " shameless robbery." Oreyouian:' That may be good metropolitan logic, but it won't stand the wear and tear of every day use. Does the Oregoni an mean to say that repudiation is the only means by which the expense of the semi-annual interest can be cut off? Any individual owing an inter est bearing note, can save himself tho expense consequent upon the payment of interest by paying the principal of the note. We hope the Oregonian can see the point. We shall certa nly do our best to make the matter so plain that even that paper can see it. The whole question can be summed up in a few words. The Government pays now in the course of a few years, in semi-annual gold coin interest, (just what the 8th resolution so complains of) a sum equal to the entire principal ot the debt. And there is a prospect that this process, under Radical rule, will be many times repeated. The Dem cratic party proposes to pay this prin cipal. This "lawful money" does not draw interest, and government will save its hundred and odd millions every year, that is now exacted from the . tax imvers to pay interest. It . A V as, . will thus save, in interest, enough in a few years, to redeem the greenbaoks. Tf tpa nrA told that inflation of the currency will cause its depreciation we answer that it will not, if the prop osition of the Republican party that the yalue of the paper money depeno.3 upon the confidence that people have in the ability . of the Government to redeem it, be true. 11, AIX TALK! The Orrjt.nitm of the Sih intimates, bv implication, that our protest against its endorsement of tho Fay construction of tho 8th resolution of the Albany platform, was not made in tlue time. In our issue of April 1st, tho first opportunity that wc had to express ourselves on the subject, we made use ef the following language : "It (the platform) embodies no such a proposition as repudiation, and such a charge made against the Democracy of Oregon is slanderous and false." This was our first utterance aud our first oppoitunity for an utterance. This Significant. Palmer. Wilson. El kins, Hirse-h, Boise, Kebsay, Gibbs and Powell all of them State and District nominees of the Republican party, were whilom Democrats. Souie great change has come over the spirit of their dreams !

Tue ria'uidcakr pays "that those pa pers who are opposed to the 8th reso lution are like rams butting against the wail." So say we, and believe with the I'laindeal r "that although the but ting may be vigorous, we guess the wall can stand it." la very paper which has hitherto attempted to go off of the platform and begun the oirera tion of butting agaiust the 8th resolu tion has come off worsted. This is tw.toriniiH. We admire tho nluck of proposition we have endeavored to the Le vlai,Mt but think that when The Plaindealer of Gth remarks: "It ill becomes any Democratic newspa per to attempt any interpretation of this (the 8th) plank in our platform, other than that which theaConventiou intended; and it is folly and nonsense for Republican journals to charge re pudiation its meaning is apparant not repudiation." We are glad that our Roxebvrg co temporary has raised its voice against that " pestilential abortion," "repudi lion." The debate upon that ill-starred 8th, resolution, as it was originally, reported by the committee on resolu tions, has been tho causa of all the dispute that has grown out of that resolution during the campaign. We are prouet at tins manuesiauon oi sterling Democracy in our Douglas county cotemporary. Inasmuch as every Radical journal in the State is at war with us in our con struction of thr Albany platform, we desire to ask of every. Democrat in the State this question : Will you sup port the platform of your party or do you propose to support a platform made for you by . the Radicals and their sympathizers? Every sane man can see by our last issue, in the article entitled "Coming to the Point," that the platform is a self-sustaining and self-interpreting institution and needs only to be read to be , understood.

We never seriously supposed at tho outset that any one would be guilty of such cabalistic non sense as to attempt to construe equita ble adjustment to mean wholesale robbery. Oca Portland, occasional, corres pondent, Smith, seems to be an un lucky genius. In one of his letters, published in the Democrat of January 21st, he commented on a Spiritual lecturer; whereupon an irate individ ual, who signed after his own proper name, the words " boot and shoo ma ker" let fly at his head a half column of savage and sarcastic literature which ought to have gratified the splentic humor of the writer, even if it did not appall our correspondent. But it did nothing of tho kind, for the ap pearance of Smith in our issue of week before last, is made the occasion for nearly a columnful in the Commercial, which, though not adorned with the signature and avocational menace of tho first attack, nevertheless bears tho unmistakable signs of having the same origin. " Smith," deserves sym pathy. However willing he may be to take up the glove when it is thrown at his feet, he has no alternative but to dodge when a last is thrown at him. We should feel very much humilia ted did the Radical press endorse us in our ideas on the 8th resolution. We are not of that school of politi cians that believe in conforming to the views of the enemy. We have lived too long to expect encouragement fiom our political opponents. We would mistrust our competency to ad vocate Democratic principles did we not receive Radical misrepresentation deserve. Radical censure. an enemy's batteries are silenced and the white flag suspended from its bat tlements, that further hostilities should cease. Wo are aware that prominent journals were at one time giving to the 8th plauk irj our plat form "an interpretation other than that which the convention intended." But they are not doing so now. "Fair play is bonuio piny." Let it be remembered that no Rad ical journal iu this State has ever com- batted the idea of repudiation upon principle, or urged a single reason against its monstrosity during the cau- vass. So far as Radical logic is con cerned, iepudiation may be right.- Why do not these champions of bight r law say something agaiust repudiation outside of mere fault-finding with those who are so silly as to advocate it?

Madame Grundy and Radical edit ors are eternally reporting this thing and that thing about Democratic nom inees. The very name of the Hon. A. J. Thayer is of itself a sufficient guar antee of tho falsity of this silly para graph. Try again.
