P02 THE DEMOCBATIO G02T
GEESSMEN. ;
Congress conveues in less than two
weeks, and, although the Radical cle
ment in that bo3y Is largely iu-'thc
ascendency, yet the democratic mcui
bers owa it to tlicir constituency and
toihe country at large to urge the
adoption of such measures as will
best subserve the interests of the peo
ple. While it is probable that but
little can be accomplished in the way
of reform in that corrupt body, yet
our Democratic representatives
should place the party upon the rec
ord and show to the country ; the po
sition which the National Democratic
party assumes upon the vital ques
tions of the day. , . '
Just before the adjournment of the
last Congress this subject "was urged
upon the Democratic members, but
the multifarious measures then pond
ing so entirely absorbed the attention
of that body that it was found impos
sible to accomplish the desired ob
ject. The Democrats of the country
again ask that this thing shall be done
and done quickly. Immediately af
ter the preliminary exercises of open
ing that bodv hhall have been dis-
penscd with, let some Democrat in
troduce a series of resolutions declar
ing that it is the duty of Congress:
1. To provide for the immediate
reduction of direct taxation and of
import duties to a strictly reveaue
standard.
2. To provide for the immediate re
duction of public expenditures in all
the departments of the Government.
3. To abolish all sinecure offices
aud the system of collecting the reve
nue bv secret mlormers and spies.
4. To restore to the people of the
States and their local jrovernnn
the rights originally possessed by
them uuder the Constitution. ,
5. To abolish governmental paper
money and restore the only constitu
tional currency gold ana silver.
C. To reduce the army to a
peace footing, and abolish a system
recently established of employing
military officers in the discharge of
civil duties.
7. To provide against the accumu
lation and retention of large sums of
money in the public treasury, by which
the interests of the people are subor
dinate to novernnient influence aud
made dependent upon the caprice ami
personal views of the head of that de
partment. .. '
8. To prevent the purchase and
sale of the public credit by the Secre
tary of the Treasury at his own op
tion, with no other control than his
individual and personal will.
9. To bring the President and his
Cahinet advisers under the authority
., k
provisions and alike with others
f 1 1- .1 1 1 Z . . 1
ject to its penalties. !
10. To restore to the Southern
States and people peace, prosperity
and contentment, which can only be
accomplished by a cessation of vin
dicative legislation and military inter
ference and a recosrmtion of their
equal right, including self-government
and political equality with the other
States and people of the Union.
11. To revive American commerce.
12. To restore American credit. -
13. To inagnrate American repub
lican simplicity in the adminstration
of public affairs, and, - 4
14. To aid, by proper legal and
constitutional authority, iu the full de- j
veloment ot the agricultural, mineral
a id sommercial resources of the conn
try. .
Democrats demand that this shall
be done. They want no "passive
policy" on the part of their Demo
cratic representatives. They - want
the Radicals either driven to adopt
measures of reform or shown to the
world in their . true colors as public
plunderers, official robbers, and op
pressors of the people. Let them
either come down to the work of re
formation and purification or be
branded as recreant . to , their profes
sions of honesty, and as traitors to
their official trust.. Make them re
form or render them odious.
TEE KU-XLUX ETJMETJGGEEY.
The telegraph tells ns that last
Thursday six "Ku-Kluxers'1 were . ar
rested - in ! North Carolina, charged
with every crime known to the cata
logue. It is more than probable that
these men are members of a band t of
New York thieves and cut-throats
who j recently went down there to
practice their hellish villanies under
cover of the Ku-KIui humbug. And
yet the Southern people are made re
sponsible tor, these crimes and all
through the South at ' this time hun
dreds, yea thousands, of respectable
citizens are dragged from their homes
and taken hundreds of miles to the
State Capital, there to answer before
United States Courts and packed' ju
ries of; carpet-baggers and negroes,
to trumped np charges of private and
political melevolence against them by
the adherents f the party in power,
Our Southern exchanges , are full of
incidents illustrating the brutality of
the proceedings.. Since the days of
Judge Jeffreys, nothing like this in at
rocity has been witnessed. -
- Another Loyajl: Radical. Col-
Gibson,' who was elected State Treas
nrer of' Ohio in 1865,; and swindled
Ihe State out of a million of -dollars,
came home from ' Europe, during the
v.. recent canvass ; and stumped 'the
State ia the interest of the Radical
party, s His friends received him cor
dially, and never thonght of rascality
. and frauds. Jig 'juj ;4dubt' took 'es;
pecial paiBso denounce the Tammany
"lJiB'gr forgetting that herffoaid-' make
a first-rate member of th'aV jorganiza
tion. ' ''
THE RADICAL fcHAEISEES.
The Concord, (N.H.) .People, ' one
of those staunch Democratic papers
of the "Old Granate State," says that
the Radical newspapers nro apparent
ly insane with delight over the arrest
ot Mr. Tweed, aud in the excess of
their joy they take no pains to conceal
the motives by which they are inspir
ed The do not rejoice that a crimi
nal is likely to bo brought to justice,
that it public robber is to be compell
ed to disgorge a portion of his ill got
ten plunder nothing of the kind.
They rejoice, rather, that the leader
of Tammany is disgraced, that a
heretofore prominent Democrat is pro
ceeded against for official robbery. t
They are not pleased at the prospect
of: putting an end to the operations of
dishonest officials, but rather that Dem
ocratic officials have been dishonest,
and that their dishonesty has been
made known. They rejoice in the ex
istence of corruption and dishonesty
in fact, so that Democrats shall , be
made to baro the blame. And that is
the full measure of all this anxious
solicitude of the Radicals, for public
weal! '.' ' !: ' " '..','
The Democracy everywhere desire
the prosecution and punishment of
thieves and robbers, whether official
or otherwise, and not because thev
arc Radicals or Democrats, but be
cause they are thieves and robbers,
For this reason the Democrats of Xew
York, are moving against the Tam
many leaders, (for they are Democrats
chiefly, who are moving earnestly in
this matter, though the Radical papers
carefully avoid stating this fact,) and
while they are thus moving, the (x of-
jyfeo head of the Radical party persist
in keeping a branded windier at the
head of the JW? York Custom House,
and through him controls the man
agement of the party machinery in
the State! With this fact staring the
people in the face, with what grace
can the Radicals continue their outcry
against the Tammany Democracy?
'We have no word of aology to
offer for any Democrat who defrauds
the people. When he does that, he
ceases to be a Democrat, and becomes
a thief. If the leaders of Tammany
have stolen their millions from the
city treasury, they should be made to
disgorge the Jast dollar, and should be j
punisned as criminal into the bargain. J
but wlule we would see impartial jus-;
tice dealt out to them, we would see .
thieves ana corruptions eiseu here j
punished. While the men who have j
misappropriated millions of dollars in ;
the city ot s evr 1 ork arc being call- j Portland Los a new sausago facto
ed to an account, we wish to see those ! ry and the dogs are all stampeding
who liave misappropriated A undreds j
, of milUons from the I ederal treasury
sub-!,,... r
' I l .. i. . - - mi i
aiaw ur"uS'-lo juswee. i nea-nouiiu- ;
ing fact stands out betore the people
of this country, upon the authority ofj
the becretary of the Treasury him-1
self, that since the close of the late j
war, the Federal Government has j
drawn from the people by taxation !
the immense sum of 54,00,U0J,ot;0 j
almost Jice billion dollars ! Enough,
and more than enough to have wiped
out the entire national debt, besides j
paying every cent of the legitimate
expenditures of the government ; and
yet the debt remains, and the outrag
eous burden of taxation continues,
that a Radical President may indulge
in the luxury of a mahogany barn, a
la Tweed, and thousands of corrupt
officials and swindling contractors, all
over the land, may continue to pile up
immense fortunes at the expense of
an oppressed people-
Great is Radicalism, and great is
the virtue of the Radical party. '
DESPOTISM nr THE SOUTH.
A gentleman of this city has just
received a letter irom his brother ivho
is a resident of Lancaster county, in
the northern part of Sonth Carolina
the district which is now under Mar
tial law from which we are permitted
to make the following extract : .
"Our political condition in the upper
part of this State is simply terrible.
There are nine counties (Lancaster in
cluded), under Martial law. Grant
has sent his soldiers here for the pur
pose of arresting and punishing the
Ku-Klux; but the truth is these nine
counties are known to have Demo
cratic majorities, and his object is to
send enough of these Democratic vo
ters to the Penitentiary from each
county to give the Radical carpet-bag
gers the majority. This is, or will be
the programme in nearly all the South
ern States, but are there not enough
honest men in his ' own party to de
nounce such villanous frauds npon his
part and defeat his election ' to the
high office which he is now prostitut
ing to snch base uses?'' ; , t
Radical Thievery, Admitted.
The Oregonian virtually admits that
it believes from $5,000 to $7,000 of
the five' per cent, proceeds of the sale
of public lands, that accrued, during
the i Wood's administration, were
stolen by ; that precious pair 1 of vil
lains now comprising the majority of
the Utah Gang" Woods and,' May;
and that paper ; is terribly ,' exercised
with fear about the consequences to
its party in the coming State election,
should this villainous transaction be
looked into by the proper authorities.
The. Oregonian may rest assured that
the matter will be thoroughly investi
gated ind that the people of Oregon
shall' have the facts before them at as
early a: day as possible. . . ., ?
