THE " KEY DEPAPTURE" AGAIN.
Walla Walla, W. 1 ?
Aug. 30, 1871.
Editor State Kiyhtt Democrat: " ' -
I have witnesaej w.jth no - little in
terest and iom anxiety the discussion
going on through the Domocratio
press of Oregon on the subject of the
so-talled 'New Departure." i
Having resided for a period of six
teen years in the Willamette Valley,
and participated in .the struggles of
. ft a-k a a . B a . a m
toe Democracy in us dart Lours, ana
knowing full well the political integ
rity of those who oppose the Ohio
propositions in 7our BttctwtJfir
ing that they atooa shoulder to ishoul
der, without a waver, while the dark
wave of Radicalism swept over the
land, I naturally feel solicitude in the
result of the controversy. My De
mocracy goes just this far: .Should
those propositions fail to find a lodg
ment in the national platform, I am
for the Democracy; Should they be
endorsed, I am no less content until
the matter is settled by the adoption
of National Platform. Discussion
ia proper. Discussion in the right
spirit can do no harm, and it is by a
full interchange of ideas that satist'ae
tory conclusions must flow, if at all.
I propose, therefore, in a spirit that
shall stir op no ill blood or beget any
ill-tempered speech, to give my own
reasons for acquiescing in the Ohio
propositions the chain of thought
that induced me to believe that the
same was the true position for the
Democracy at the present crisis of
political affairs. I saw, or thought I
could see, three separate and distinct
groups of facts that should be consid
ered with relation to themselves and
to each other. The first of these I
arranged and classified thus :
1. The several amendments of the
past ten years effect radical changes
in the original form of government,
and are intamonsin character and were
passed by imposition, brute force and
shameless fraud.
2. The radical party are alone re
sponsible lor their passage. ,
3. They were each declared ratified
by tbe requisite number of States,
and as a consequence declared to be
part and parcel of the original Con
stitution, and are therefore not at this
time before the people of the various
Slates for ratification or rejection.
4. That one method, at least, , of
reaching improper and impolitic
amendments is by action of Congress
in
tne mMie prescribed, ana ratified
by three-tourtua of the States repeal
ing tne same.
6. That it is at least thought impos
sible by the best legal m.nus to have
adjudication by the Supreme Court
of tbe Utbted States upon the legality
of their adoption.
' 6. That there is no other peaceable
manner of reaching them.
If, then, the amendments are de
clared ratified, and there is no other
method of reaching them save by
congressional action or revolution
good or bad, as they may be, they
must be endured until the wisdom of
the fsture shall remove them from the
statutes of the land. No amount of
discuusion no .complaining, however
great, will, reach the case. If you
present a proposition looking to their
repeal, you concede at once that they
are laws ; and this, as I understand it,
is all that Mr. Vallandigham proposed
at any time to do. No endorsement
whatever, but simply an acceptance
thereof as laws. - No endorsement
whatever of the mean but a recogni
tion of an accomplished fact. ;
The second group of facta are as
follows:' , f
1. The Democratic party have ever
regarded strict construction of the
fundamental law of the land as a car
dinal doctrine in their political creed.
2. The Democratic party has ever
been, and now is, a party of .law and
order. : 1
3. The Democratic party has ever
been opposed to revolution within our
own territorial limits. , .
: 4. The Democratic party has al
ways favored tbe correction of error
ana the" redress of wrong in a legiti
mate way only.: ,
These facts are all akin to one an
other, and each and every one of tbem,
or at least tne Greater number, show
if admitted as facts, that the Democ
racy are onalterrbly committed to the
acceptance of Jaw as such, or the re
moval ot objectionable law in a legal
way oniy. revolution, men. is out 01
the question. Adjudication by the
Supreme Court is thought impossible,
There is then but ? one legitimate
coarse lett. .Agitation looking to re
peal. To agitate there must be an is
sue. And how is that issue to ba
formed. By a declaration ' of some
sort put forth in the platform ot
the . party, and by such . declaration
you at once concede the ground of
Mr. Vallandigham, viz., that:,': the
amendments are laws. it tney are
pot- why oner to repeal, and if they
are laws, would it not be manly: to
concede the fact and meet it accord
ingly. ' :;-V :' "-'
' Admittingthen for the sake of pass
ing rapidly over the question that
agitation will be necessary, and that
this cannot be Bad save by th't pre
sentation of an issue, ia it politic or
even necessary to make tne issue now.
Here I present my third group! of
facts.'- ' ::' :; )"'-' a-- -vv
1. That no amount of discussion
will change the fact that the amend
ments have been declared adopted.
That discussion at this time of
the policy and correctness of, or ne
cessity for, the amendments, can only
keep alive tbe passions engendered by
a state of war and shut out to a great
extent tbe presentation of tbe Living
and paramount issues of the hoar
issues upon which the radical party
must necessarily be overthrown. ; :?
3. That the opponents of Democ
racy are anxious to avoid thecs same
living issues. ,
rv I I Ml I I

ALBANY. OREGON, FRIDAY; SEPTEMBER 8,
4. that by removing from the com
iny political campaign, the' issuea
growing out of a state of war. you at
a single blow demolish the major por
tion of the arguments of radical ora
tors and throw them at once upon the
defensive where the liberty-destroying,
constitutional death-dealing of
their party is at once exposed and
held up to publio condemnation.
,'If then the Democracy are not re
quired to make issues for the benefit
of their ' political foes and . furuisn
weapons to ' be used against them
selves. When failing so to do, they
Yield no principle, they simply ex
hibit a high order of political sagacity
in placing themselves in a condition lo
fight' one political battle upon equal
Kerms with aq over.i)oofidotit foe, .'V
' i I therefore concluded, however
much I might detest the amendments,
there was no use to continue an agita
tion of a subject that could do no
good, aud thereby jeopardize my own
prospect of success. If the Democ
racy cannot prevail upon the living
issues of the day that , party cannot
prevail at all, and if so favorable an
opportunity ' of success be thrown
away are we not recreant to the prin
ciples of the fathers, and exhibit a
lack of patriotism in ordor that we
may , show our utter detestation for
laws, the operation of which we can
not avoid. If defeat is to be pur
chased at tbe price of a useless agita
tion, I submit that tbe compensation
is in no way commensurate with the
terrible efi'ect and character of the
thing bought. Walla Walla.

An old journal of a young lady in
Virginia bad come to light, in which
is transcribed a letter, written in 17C2
showing that the "father of bis coun

deal like other young men:
"I mast tell you of our frolic after
we went to our room. We took it
into our beads to want to eat: veil,
we bad large dish of bacon and
beef; after that a bowl of aago cream,
aud after that an apple pie. Wbile
we were eating this in came Mr.

spite of ail the reuaLan.e I could
make, and then cousin Molly. Han

apple pie, and then got out. After
this we took it into our beads to
want to eat some oysters. We got
up, put on our wrappers and eut
down into the cellar to get tbem.
Do you think. Mr. Washington did
not follow us and scars us just to

ate our oysters. W slept iu tbe

Richest Woxas a tbb World. A
New Orleans correspondent gives an
account of an interview with 'Mrs.
General Gaines: '
Mrs. Gaines was introduced to onr
party and at once entered into a
lively conversation, Bhe doing most
of the talking. - She looks young,
and is lively and in tei eating, but
said she was sixty-four years old.
No one would think it from her ap
pearance She said that eibce the law
suit was decided' in her favor, she
bad received a great number of offers
from gentlemen who bad suddenly
fallen in love with her, ' Tbey all
wanted to better their condition, so
d d she, and therefore she declined
to accept. ;.: She aaid that General
Gaines waa the very best man that
ever lived, and that be never did an
11 . a.
evu aeea, ana never thought one,
and that there were none : left like
him. She had been on to see Gen,
Grant and tbe members' of his cabi
net, and, had, learned them to respect
her rights, and tbey bad given her
what she asked.' , And now she waa
here to attend to some more lau suits.
She was very racy in' her converaa
tion, and relates a great variety of
anecdotes, some quite amusing, and
you ill feel inclined to laugh, but it
is certain that she will laugh the
loudest and longest of any one. It
is said that she ia now the richest wo
man in the world. She says she has
now established her rights in the
courts, and is going to work to :im
prove the condition of women by es
taDURDing colleges, in which women
are to be taught the same branches as
men Her plan U to endow a college
with pnmary schools.
These is now growing in the town
of WaUortb, in this State, a tame
cherry tree measuring, eighteen feet
in circumference, from which thirty
bushels of cherries have been gather
ed this year.-. It ia believed that this
cherry tree can not ta beaten for size
and prodoctivenesa by any tree of
the kind is the world. ' '
, -WHITE HANDS. , ; -
This ia not the story of a king, bnt
of an humble peasant girl ; tbe scene
is not laid in a camp, but in a village
at a time when Bonaparte's wars had
not given' to the simple name of Ber
nadotte (little Bernard), tbe historic
glow which still surround it
. A man and his wife had an only
daughter, and tbey were so proud of
her that she nau scarcely come into
the world when they began to think
of her marriage. . The man, laboring
with the greatest perseverance, aought
to accumulate for her one of those at
tractive dowries which fascinate rich
young bachelors; the wife seconded
bia effort ao courageously, ' grubbing
in the ground aU day and stitching ail
night, constantly preparing tne pnae a
outfit, that she fell sick, and died, not
being willing to call in 'v the. doctor,
that she might save the cost of the
remedies. .?'?? V V"r
Father Hugh, left alone with his
daughter, was only the more anxious
to have a son-in-law some sturdy la
borer possessing a competence, one
who would insure both the prosperity
of his bouse and the happiness of his
daughter. . - - -
When she got to be eighteen yeara
of age there was no lack of suitors.
Father Hugh owed to his avarice the
reputation of a man in easy circum
stances, one who bad cleverly turned
bis pennies to account by making
short loans at a rate of interest not
-sanctioned by the code; but all young
men wishing to marry took very good
care not to reproach him with an in
fraction of the statute; the sin would
remain with the father-in-law and the
profits with the grandchildren ; so
they rubbed their Lands and repeated
the universal proverb : "Tis an ill
wind that blows nobody good."
Bernadotte, worthy of ber sire in
economy and activity, trudged to tows
every forenoon to sell her chickens,
eggs and fruit She frequently en
countered young Micontet, the plow
man, who would drive up bis oxen
to the end of the furrow by the road
side and keep them standing a long
time to bid tbe young girl gooi morn
ing, and chat with her about the rain,
and the fine weather, and tbe chick
ens, and tbe cows, and tbe growing
corn, and the beans that were about
drying. Bernadotte, no matter what
might be ber haste to get married, al
ways had a few moments to spare for
her talkative friend, and even after
leaving him to go back repeatedly to
answer, as far as he could make ber
hear them, tbe iat kind words which
be always sent after ber over tbe
hedge.
- Arrived at the market place, the
first customer whom Beruadotte usu
ally found there was tbe young baker,
Casterez. who. under the pretext of
examining ber egg and fruit,' pro
longed tbe conversation a full hour,
praising the bright feathers of tbe
chickens, their remarkable plumpness,
and bestowing a thousand compli
ments on the clever housekeeper, who
knew hpw to get them into such nice
condition. Pawing from words to
acts, he would bargain for the entire
lot, appear perfectly satisfied with tbe
price, aud carry the basket off to his
shop, where the fair merchant always
found some refreshment ana a couple
of nice tarts garnished with sweet
meats. '
Bernadotte, on returning home from
market lightened of her load, passed
before the bhop of tbe hair-dresser,
Firmin, a young dandy as frizzled and
smoothly shaved as the little ' Saint
Jo'un in the procession of . the ' Fete
Dieu. M. Firmin bad just completed
bis tour through France, aa stated on
a handseme sign in big letters, adorn
ed with a pair of scissors and a razor,
after tbe fashion of a heraldic shield
stamped with a double device. 11
" Heighl ,I Bernadotte," exclaimed
the artist io barber, "have you any eggs
to sell me. to-day Y". . ...
Bernadotte nodded affirmatively.-
She had been careful, to conceal a doz
en from the wholesale buyer, Caster
ez, purposely to have some left tor Al.
Firmin. rrudence ia tbe mother of
certainty. , Micoutet was undoubted
ly very attentive, Casterez very devo
ted, but M. Firmin was no less, agree
able, and nobody knew what might
happen. . . : ' ' '. ':
The eggs were accordingly handed to
M. Firmin, who found their freshness
quite worthy of her who brought
them.1 Far from attempting to abate
the price; he added to the money he
cave her a small flask of lavender wa
ter or a cake of scented soap.; He
wanted to know how Father Hugh
was, and all about Braquette, the cow
whose excellent milk maintained the
rosy bne of the milker's cheeks, ' and
about the sheep providing the ; wool
with which to knit those pretty stock
ings so snugly fitting those little' feet
M. Firmin in his tour through France
had become very' impertinent;' his
presumption might have offended this
young rustic, had not her interests ob
liged Tier to dissimulate and to be
somewhat tolerant ' He asked her to
bring him eggs the ' next day, ' butter
every time she emptied her. churn;
and, notwithstanding his impertinence,
a fault in young, men which young
girls often complain of to satisfy their
consciences, Bernadotte found the
hair-dresser quite as agreeable as he
was attentive; '
' -. Micontet, the plowman, daily in the
field, no matter what, might: oe the
state of the weather, and at the earli

in his anxiety to aee daylight and Ber
nadotte, became so worn out by ' this
way of living that he resolved to get
back both his sleep and his nsual tran
quility. He betook himself ; to the
house of the father of her who had
robbed him of his repose; and cap' in
hand, with downcast eyes and a stam
mering voice, spoke to him a long
time about Bernadotte, praising ter
vigorous arms,, made lor . wort, and
the good health apparent in every form

"Casterez, the baker!" replied Fa
ther Hugh, in a reflective mood. "By
our lady, there is always bread on', a

added BernaotU -t ' r
"I will find ont, my ' child, what the
baker means before deciding." .: '
, "His meaning, father, .is plain
enough.' He buy a every morning all
that I take to town', and without hig
gling about the price, please you. If
I were to ask him double, he would
not make the slightest objection." .
' "Without higgling about the price!"
repeated Father Hugh, who did not
do business after that fashion. ' That
young fellow is very much smitten 1
We will look into the matter, Berna
dotte ; and if his granary and his purse
are as well stocked .with flour and
cash as his heart seems to be with
love, we will try to .make some ar
rangement" 1 , : '
Father Hugh strode off to town to
see the baker, who, delighted with
this proceeding, showed himself deep
ly enamored. : :'' n: i'-' . '.. '
"Which of , the two P exclaimed
Father Hugh to himself. Tbe thing
works well. , We will set them to
competing; goods in demand increaea
in value." . . v.t
He returned home and, communi
cating the baker's sentiments to bis
daughter, promised her to decide
quickly which of the two it would be
best for her to marry.
, "The - baker , ia a very' nice young
man," added Bernadotte, the same as
sbe bad aaid of tbe plowman Mi
contet, "but there is another, the hair
dresser, Frimin. He buys something
of me every day', and keepa me an
hour talking about his tour through
France, the yarn my stockings are
made of, and my good milch cow. He
assnrea me that be has never seen any
one more engaging than she whom be
has tbe pleasure of looking at when he
looks at me." ?
"The compliments of a barber I" in
terposed Father Hugh. "Everybody
knows what they are worth! No
matter, the affair progresses; competi
tion among three makes the profit all
the greater 1 We will aee the hair
dresser, my dear, and find out what to
expect from his admiration." '
Hugh again returned to town, where
he had an interview with M. Firmin ;
and as he knew that the larger the
company of buyers the more active the
bidding, be invited each of the com
petitors to come to his house the fol
lowing Sunday after mass. 1 4 ,
"Humph P he muttered to himself,
as be canvassed the situation ; "the
plowman courts my daughter,' but
without neglecting his work or spend
ing a farthing; the baker is doing tbe
same thing, loittering about the market-place,
and spending his money to
win tbe saleswoman; the barber over
whelms Bernadotte with fulsome
complaints and trifling present s.
There is no hurry; things , can - be
cleared up and the characters of these
gallants tested to make them solve
my riddles." : : -
; When the day came - Beruadotte
made herself look aa beautiful as the
virgin queen of a May-day .festival;
she put on her best starched muslin
cap, calico petticoat, red cotton hand
kerchief and znoroco shoes, and wait
ed the appearance of her three suitors,
whom, on presenting , themselves, the
lather, welcomed in these terms: ,
You' three wish to provide a hus
band for my ' daughter, and ' you all
cherish the same , object! As custom
obliges her to reject two in the selec
tion of one,- she must, proceed, cau
tiously in this ever, uncertain ' lottery.

be excused if she asks eight days to
decide what kind of a noose she will
put around ber neck, t Come ' back
here next Sunday, my friends, in your
best attire; I am a little particular in
the interest of my dear Bernadotte,
and I have always felt somewhat su
perstitious in the matter of tidiness.
Von must not; be surprised if you see
me give my daughter to the 'one who
shall show the whitest hands.'"
4 Father Hugh uttered' these last
words with marked- emphasis. u '
Micoutet was almost ready to die
with grief; working in the fields had
made his hands drier than so much
pumicestone. 'The baker and the
barber, on the contrary, always work
ing in batter, or. soap, had hands as
soft aa, the , satin folds of , a ; duchess'
gown., .. ... . ': ;.::;.; ; . .
The poor rustio felt that he was set
aside regarding ' the forthcoming
struggle, aa calculated for ' only ' city
gallantB. The .- latter, animated by
equally weu-iounded hopes, spent the
week jn getting their hands in proper
condition,' using unguents of the
mdst mollifying character and they
became as xragrant and aa white as
possible, which stimulated their pride
to the highest degree.
Micontet had not even the courage
to wash his hands in the brook, so in
ferior did he, regard, himself to these
town gentry. vf His grandfather Simon,
! perfectly familiar with the world ever
' since he had stumped throujrV it: on
bis old crutches, tad who was covert-'.
"Mioouttt, my boy" said Ke hand

they were whiter than the blossom of
the dog-rose. ,Tbe hair-dresser then
displayed his, and they looked as fresh
a a lily Just in bloom. It now came
Micoutet turn. Firmin and Cas
terez began to laugh aa he' . drew bis
huge bands from his jjockets ? and
held them forth, when Father Hugh
uttered a cry of admiration; for tbey
were filled with bright and , beautiful

candidates returned to their shops
with their ears hanging lower than

invited tbem to their wedding, and
tbey bad wit enough to go, as towns
men scarcely neglect to eniov what
is good in the dwelling of a disdained
peasant' The happy couple, happy aa

WHAT THE DEStOCttATIC PAB--TY
W11.I. BO IYUEI IS r "
, , ' . POWER. - .
a. it wui limit tbe annual taxes to
$250,000,000, and out of this moder
ate revenue will apply $230,000,000
toward the extinction of the public
debt; whereas the federal taxes for
the last fiscal year amounted to the
enormous sum of $411,1255,447.
- IX. It will revise and reform the
system of taxation so that this dimin
ished annual burden of $250,000,030
will be equitably-distribute. Tbe
present - system not only overloads
tbe faithful horse, but ties some of the
load to his legs, puts a part upon his
head, makes him drag a portion bv
his. tail, obstructing hla".J'reedom . of
movement and causing him the ut
most annoyance.- The Democratic
party will withdraw every pound of
the load from his limbs and extrem
ities and collect it upon his back,
where be can carry- it with greatest
ease. - It will, moreover, take good
care that taxes find their way into the
public treasury, and not into pockets
of greedy, grasping monopolists. ,
IIL The "Domocratio party will
rectify - the abuses of the ' present
banking system; extinguisihng mo
nopoly by making the business free
to all who comply with the conditions,'
stopping tbe interest on government
bonds while in pledge to secure bank
circulation, and guarding against a
redundant currency by compelling
the banks to redeem their notes in
specie. " . X :C
IV. It will revive our prostrate
ahipping interest' and' restore to
American citizens their former share
in the profits of navigation, by free
trade in ships and repeal of duties on
all articles used in their construction.
V. It will extend and complete tbe
system of universal suffrage by abol
ishing the term of residence now re
quired by naturalisation, and, giving
intelligent white immicrrants the same
advantages enjoyed by our colored
population; There Is no reason why
a thrifty " .German who emigrates to
Texas and buys a farm should not at
once be as favored a citizen aa the
South Carolina negro emigrates to
Texas in the same year and is em
ployed bjr the German as a laborer.
V L The Demoratio party ; will
faithfully fulfill all the obligations
created by the publio debt in ,their
letter and spirit and ' will secure to
disabled soldiers the full amount of
their pension without allowing dol
lar to be deducted for the fees ol
agents. ' f -,
VII. It will repeal all' laws" which
permit the federal government Or any
of its officers, to : interfere with elec
tions in the States. ,;,,,,, ;
Vn. It would make it a high mis
demeanor.' punishable bv dismissal
from the service, for any officer of the
army or navy, to aid in the suppres
sion of domestio violence in a sute
unless the state authorities have made
a previoua application ; to the Presi
dent for such assistance in conformi
ty to the constitution ; or to interfere
for enforcing any federal law unless a
federal judge snail - have previously
certified that the execution of the laws
is resisted by a combination too pow-
enui to oe overcome by the marshal
ana ms posse. ,- s uo--;
, IX. The Democratic party will re
move all the political : disabilities and
disquauhoations imposed for partici
pation in the late civil war.
' X. It. will recognize the binding
force of the three new amendments to
the constitution so long as they,' are
held to be valid by the supreme court
Here are no flourish' no bun
combe, no vague, cloudy theories
which cannot be reduced to practice.
If there is any southern citizens who
does not think this list; of , measures
would bring relief from and redress of
present evils and grievances, we can
not respect his judgment And if, on
ues,
he he forfeits all claim to b ocr
ed a candid opponent . .

ried couples have not yet learned. '
When Jonathan Trumbull was Gov
ernor of Connecticut, s gentleman
called at his house one day, request
ing a private interview. He said:
. "I have called upon a very un
pleasant errand, sir, and want your
advice. My wife and I do not live
happily together, and I am thinking
of getting a divotce. Ykat C you
advise,' air? , ' -.
The Governor sat a few r..:nta
in thought, then, turning to his vis
itor, said: . "How did you treat Mrs.
W when you were courting her?
And how did you feel toward her at
the time of your marriage f"
Squire W replied: I treated
her as kindly as I could, fo& I loved
her dearly at that time. ;
Well, air. aaid the Governor,
"go home and court her now, just aa
you did then, and love her as when
you married her. Do thia in the
(ear of God for one year, and then,
tell me the result 4 .
The Governor then said: "Let ua
pray." They then bowed their heads
in prayer and aeparatad.;
. ;, When a year had , passed away,
Squire W - called again to see the
Governor, and aaid: f'l have called
to thank you for the food advice you
gave me, and to telf you that my
wife and I are as happy as when first
we were, married. ' t cannot be grate
