Hrolrtit, 1,'That we, the democratic party of the Stato of Oregon, are pledged to a" strict construction of the Constitution, the restoration and preservation of the rights of the Stales to regulate their interna! affair?, and especially the elective franchise, free from the control or interference of the General Government ; the protection of Individual rights in accordance with the fundamental laws of the land, includ ing the rights to the writ of habeas corpus, trial nT jury, and freedom from unreasonable search es and seizures. N - lnat we are opposed to every species of corruption in all departments of the . Municipal, State and National Governments. 3. That our motto is, n privileged classes and u privileged eapit.nL 4. That we are in favor of a tariff to raise money only for the necessary expenses of the Federal Government, and not for the benefit of monopolists. 5. That we view with alarm the flagrant and open violations of the Constitution by the party now controlling the General Government, in the passage and enforcement of the Reconstruction and Ku Klox laws, and the corrnmii.n end fraud which characterize their administration of every department of Government, and wo pledge onrsclves to use ail lawful and peaceful iens 10 secure a sneeuy correction of these outrages and usurpations. 6. That the freedom, welfare and rights of the people are superior to tie interests of incor porations, and should be protected against the exactions of oppressive monopolies. 7. That we favor the appropriation of the fund arising Irom the sale of the swamp lands to purposes of internal improvements -and the aid of common schools. 8. That the construction of locks at the Falls of the Willamette is a judicious and effective safeguard of the commerce of the Willamette Valley, and we favor le;is:ai..n to the end that the commerce of the Columbia river may be in like manner benefitted aud.proticied. ". That the thanks of the people of Oregon are due our present Jtate administration for its successful tCnrts in securing to the State the grants of lands wiibh otherwise would have fal len into the" hands of grasping corporations. BUS. SIMPSON. "We notice that this trickster is do ing up '-the duty" for Black Joe "Wil son, lie was the head and tail of Wilson's reception'at Portland and at Salem. He appears not only anxious to have it understood that he was the only "cheeky" friend Wilson had, but that he alone was the only man who could do the dirty work required, no matter how low he had to stoop to perform it. At Salem, during Bur nett and Wilson's discussion, many of his old acquaintances felt a regret that he has not only lost all self-respect, but ill regard for truth and de cency. A resident of Marion county running for the Legislature in Benton county, and acting the clown at large for Black Joe Wilson, is a picture that should disgust the decency and dignity of all classes. What will our Benton county voters say about this walking nuforclosed mortgage of the Railroad King on the first Monday in June next ? Have not tho Republi can party of Benton a suitable resi dent of their own county for the can didature for Representative ? If not, and they must go to Marion county for one, why, iu the name of decency do they not select a man who is above the perpetration o tricks that would disgrace the legitimate occupation of a circus-jester ? We are informed that Mr. Burnett literally "chawed up' Joe Wilson at Brownsville last Saturday. He even astonished his warmest admirers with the force and eloquence' ot his speech and made Joe cower down in one .corner of his.beneh like a whipped cnr. 'The fact is, Mr. Burnett started out in the campaign with the laudable intention of being at all times courte ous, dignified and gentlemanly with his opponent, but finding his efforts in that direction constantly meeting with nothing but clownish buffoonery and coarse insults on the part of Wilson, be sailed into him at Brownsville and administered such a stiDging castiga tionthat "Slippery Joe" was forced to eome back to Albany and lie op for repairs, while Burnett goes on his victorious march Southward.

POLITICAL DISCTJSSIOff, The Court JIouso was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, last Friday night, on iho occasion of the political discussion between the rival candi dates for Congress. "Wilson, the Radical candidate, opened tho discus sion with a hanangue which would have been quite appropriate during bloody days of the "late onpleasant ness," but was wholly out of plaeo in these "piping times ot peace," when reason, logic and argument should wield tho sceptre of power. About the only sensible remark ho made was that he did not propose to discuss tho Hadical platform. It showed thafho had sufficient decency left to withhold him from carving into that cftluviu reeking thing. Ho floated off into tho usual liadleal channel and at tempted to preach a funeral sermon for tho Democratic parly. It was a mournful attempt at a joke, and was received in dead silence. Ho growled savagely at Linn county for giving such a heavy majority against him two years ago. and attempted to get even on our citizens by charging them with disloyalty during the rebellion, and vindicitively asserted that " the rebel howl would still brimr every one of them to their feet." His whole sale abuse of the rrav-haired, vener able pioneers of Old Linn will be hurled back upon him with crushing and overwhelming force when the Ides of June shall have rolled around. Let him remember, that J'onrtein hun dred l)rrnoeratic voter. of Llmi will avenge this insult at the polls. His speech was characterized throughout by fustain, bombast and all the other characteristics of a bully and braggart, stamping him as a low fellow, titter to "do the grand' in a country eircus than to represent an intelligent constituency in the Cou gress of the nation. ilr. Burnett followed "Joe. the Jester," in a speech of one hour and a quarter in length, completely refuting his empty utterances and placing him in an attitude of utter humiliation be fore the audience. 3lr. Burnett's gentlemanly and courteous behavior toward his opponent was in such di rect contrast to the buffoonery and dis courtesy of Wilson toward him, that he won the respect of even the most violent Iladical partisans; and as he warmed up in the discussion his argu- boldlv assert that all efforts in behalf own dehMt ami scarcely recoered laud last wcck. immediately after!

BUE5ETT OH EALLB0AD G2ASTS. 1 will be remembered by those who were present at the Burnett Wilson discussion here last Friday night that Joe Wilson 'charged Bur nett with having said at Portland that he wa3 opposed to any further grants to railroads, and it will also be recol lected that Mr. Burnett denied havinrr so stated. Now here is what tho JJulle tin, an acknowledged anti-Burnett or gan, says, and it exactly corroborates what Mr. Burnett stated he-re : He said ConjjreHS had given them grants upon grants of land without let or hindrance, until even their own President, uen. Orant, was compelled to recommend that no more land grants be made. Me said tue Democratic party was in favor of progress. That during jenerson's term more territory had been acquired than was ever before or since acquired by any President. Fie referred to lliomas iienton as hav ing done more for Oregon than any other man. His party, he continued, was not opposed to railroads, but was opposed to corporations using the money derived from the sale of public lands granted to them by Cbngress for the purpose of buying votes. This statement, coming from a Rad ical organ, puts Mr. Burnett right be fore the people and gives the lie di rect to Wilson's -charges. , The Salem Statesman, in alluding exultingly to McCully's Lock and Dam affidavit, says "it can furnish plenty more of the same sort no trouble at all." It is scarcely neces sary for a gentleruen of so great fer tility of expedients as the Statesman editor has shown himself to be pos sessed of in years past to make such an assertion as the above. No one doubts his ability and willingness to furnish affidavits in any cause which might redound to hia pleasure 'or profit. As an "afiidaviter" the States man editor would undoubtedly be an eminent success. The Oregonian has dug np a natu ral curiosity. It's a Radical federal office holder away down in "Var mount" who has resigned because there is a deficit in his accounts. As this is the only instance in the history of that party jm record .the Oregonian is ex cusable for going into ' ecstasies over the-dnatter. The editor of that pa per, from his official standpoint, doesn't see how his Vermont brother could do such an unheard of thing as resign! THE NHY IN TH2 riEL. Our readers M'ill perceive that for the first time in sis years tho liadieals of Linn county, have nominated a strict party ticket and design making a fight upon tho strength and num bers of their own voters. For six years past they have tried "oayusing and fusing with recalcitrant Demo crats, with nothing biit'overwhehning defeat following their efl'tuts; and now, utterly disgusted with that poli cy, they have at last fallen buck upon their own resources and aro deter mined to fight it out on party lines, " if it takes all summer." It now behooves tho Democratic hosts of Old Linn to fall in lino and go to work. While there is no doubt of the result, so lar as nu actual ma jority for our whole ticket is concern ed, vet there are other motives to im pel us to united and vigorous efforts. Since the enemy have decided to draw arty lines wo should thow them ex actly where they stand in the count in what a hopelens minority they aro laboring. We should inlliet upon them such a crushing defeat that they will never again h.ivo the temerity to hold a convention or offer a ticket for tho people's suffrages. The honor of our party in the coun ty is also at stake in this contest. We have in ' years past enjoyed the proud prestige of being thu banner county of Oregon Democracy. Wo must preserve our record. Two years ago we avo an average majority of of votes. With vigilant care, earnest labor and united action we can this year give a round three, hun dred majority for the whole ticket. The enemy, hopeless of electing their entire ticket, will resort U their old dodge of making a united effort;" in behalf of sonic one of the number ! at tho expense of the remainder. ! They will trade, barter, yea, hmj vote.-! J in behalf of the one upon whom they have already selected to make the light. ! No means will be spared, no efforts neglectel to aecomp.'n ms election. Passion will be appealed to, preju-! dice will be stirred up, lies will be crculated against his Democratic op- poncnt, in the hope' of weakening the ucoide'4 confidence in his fitnos ca - peopic . comiutiuu jn ms i.iu., c.i pacity and integrity. Yet we have sufficient confidence in the sterling Democracy of the voters of Linn to ,r:ltion M to lurt.V.r deter them from Iuak-,r, another effort to train the as- cetn:ei'.cv. A Frrnxti Com i'.m ment. The Yreka (Cat.) Cuion pays our candi date for Congress the following neat and appropriate compliment: The. Orenon Democracy have nominated a candidate for Congress, who cannot I fail to make a good run. We refer to ' Hon. John Burnett, present County Judge of Benton cour.ty, who has grown up irom a boy in Oregon and and money and fled for parts im is supposed to be familiar with all tier j known. If we had never beforo be wants and requirements. Certainly, . licved in the cxhdeuce of a hell this no State in the Union requires as much act would satisfy us that there mnst from the 1- ederal Government, in the i way of favorable legislation, as Ore gon. So far, the has had one real earnest hard worker for her benefit the late Lansing Stout, who "should have died hereafter."

' - i .! c- . ,! satisfy the public as to whose interest Governor Burnett, of this State, audi.. . . was born in Missouri. As an elo ,r. . , quent pleader at the Bar, he has but few equals. Sprung from the masses himself, he will be a true represcnta- tive man of the people and a watchful guardian of their interests. Oregon has needed a man for some time who will legislate for her local interests, without attempting to revamp the nation as Williams has attempted to do. May she find such a man in ' the person of John Burnett. We are informed that Ben. Simp son boasts hat he has scared Mrs. Duniway into a discontinuance of the war on Grant. Although we have seen nothing in her paper recently on the subject, we believe she has too much pluck and independence to be fright ened from tho performance of what she deems right by any intimidations of Ben, Simpson "or any other man." If he can direct her actions, the cause which she champions has certiainly no merit which could commend it to the favor of any respectable individ ual. A Richmond ijst the Field, The telegraph informs us that "Flaxbrake" has deserted his post at Washington and is now hurrying on to Oregon as f;st as steam can speed him, to take the stump in behalf of the Radical ticket, Grant has "doubtless informed him that if Oregon is lost to, Radical ism off goes his official head, and so old Kigh Joint is coming home to battle i'or his bread' and butter.

The victorious campaign march of Judgo Burnett is strewn with the ene my's dead on every battle field. At iVownsville, last Saturday, (JcnenJ Joe.

He's the cuss to do it, you better bet, Colfax has commenced declining the nomination for the Presidency. He has begun that dodge too late to beat Grant now. It would have doubtless been a success if he had commenced as soon as he did to de cline himself into the nomination for Vice President A 'Frisco man became disgusted with life And jumped into the Bay, but he weakened on it and calling for help, wa3 fished out.
