DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
ADOPTED AT THE STATE ColVKSTIoa AT DALLES
. cur apuil 10, 1S72.
Rrolced,. That we, the Democrat ie party
of the lre of OraiMn. a Tf r.l.! 'fA tn m .' .i.r
construction of the Constitution, the restoration
and preservation of the rights of the States to
reirulate their internal affairs, and esneeiallv
the elective franchise, free imm the control or
interference of the General Uorernment ; the
protection of individual rishts ia accordance
witli tK fifnit,Mfltt l-ina of L. I -. ... I Sn.t..
iag the rijehts to the writ of habeas tt.rj. trial
ly jury, and frredum from unreasonable search
et and seizures. ' V
2. That i are opposed to every apeciet of
rorruvtioB in U depaitments of the Municipal,
f?LaU and National Uovernuiencs. '
H. Tnat our motto is, no privileged classes
aa4 no privileged eapitaL '
4. That we are. in favor of a tariff to raise
money only for the necers-try expenses of the
Federal tiortmtnent, and not for the bencCt of
monopolists. ' -
4. That we'vicw -with alarm the flagrant and
open violations o tl:e Constitution by the party
now controlling the General Goremment, in the
pasue and euforcement of the Rceitnstrartion
iind Ku Klux laws, and the corruption and
fraud which eliaractcrize their administration of
every-department of Government, and we pledge
ourselves to use all lawful and peaceful oiejns
to secure a speedy correction of these outrages
and usurpations.
6. That the freedom, welfare and rights of
the people are superior to the interests of in cor.
porations, and should be protected against the
exaction of oppressive monopolies.
7. That we favor the appropriation of the
fond arising Imm 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 tlie Willamette is a judicious and effective
safeguard "f he commerce of the Willamette
Valley, and we favor legislation to the end that
the commerce of the Columbia river'may be in
like wanner benefitted and protected.
9. That the thanks of the people of Oregon
are due oar present State administration for its
ruccessful efforts in scenring to the State the
grants nf lands whi ;h otherwise would have fal
len into the hands of grasping corporations.
The Oregonuin has for the past
week been wielding the party club
with great vehemence over the heads
of the Radicals in Multnomah connty,
lnt the power of that paper is felt so
more in its party, as is well sei
stood that its control" and C '.nioti
lias been transferred to Mr. Hoi!ac!ay.
Its war-cry finds no more an echoing
shout from the Republicans, aud its
power for good or evil is limited
to ' meagre: influence which its
master's money exerts upon the mer
cenary brigade of whom Old Flax
tyake is the head and Jimmy O'Meara
the tail. Vale, Oregonian! , -
Disgraceful. A Good Templar
writes from Salem to the Portland
Herald as follows : -
'It seems that Wilson had learned
in Oregon City that by. reason of his
rell kuown intemperate habits the
siudents and teachers of the Willam
ette University were dissatitfied with
his nomination., This caused the
Judge to squirm, and to make an ef
fort to set things to rights abont the
Iostixoie. He at, once imposed him
self upon Professor Gatch, one of the
principles of the Univerity, to obtain
that gentleman's consent to deliver
-'-.. it' b'is meaningless , harrancues to
tu'jitudents of tbu Institute--and af
ter having whisked jjp at, the Opera
Saloon several tunes, as can be proven,
he repaked to the University and
commenced bis barrangue in his nsual
uncouth niyle. After he had finished
vomit, or the sow to hex wallow."-
Such proceedings as thgse are certain
ly very cheeky, but nevertheless they
arc true, and cannot te .uccssiuliy

whom his lumpen -'enco has inspired

government and civil service reform,
lie is now the recognized head of that

party ho believe that the time has
come wheu political ofiieenccs of the
past should be pardoned; when all citi
zens sV :tld be protected in the rights
guaranteed them by the Constitution;
when a reform in the civil service
should be effected which will relieve
political action from the influence of
official patronage; when the rights of
local self-government, the fouudation
of American freedonif should be re
asserted, and encroachments of feder
al power checked; when corruption of
every nature in official channels should
be .ceded out, and our country re
turned to that purity which character
ized it before the p-esent Radical
party destroyed its character abroad
"A - i . ! j at home.
Tbpt ue Uincinna'.i ticket will com
mand the respect .rul sY.pport ot a
large class of those who have here
tofore acted with the Radical party
there can be no question. The New
York Tribune of which Mr. Greeley
has been the editor for so many years
past lias so long moulded the public
sentiment of the Republican party
has virtually been the political Bible of
that party for years past that it is
nothing more than reasonable to pre
sume that many of its followers in the
past wiK continue their adherence to
iu fortunes .in the future. Aside
from the soiJier element and the fed
eral ofEce-hoiders, Greeley unques
tionably can command a greater
amount of support in his party than
can the renegade Democrat, Ulysses;
and the negro voters of the South,
whom Greeley's pen was more instru
mental in emancipating lhan was
Grant's sword, will almost unanimous
ly flock to the standard of the fo.'iuer.
and thus manifest their ratitude to
him who was battling for" their free -
dom for years before Grant was even
r,onr.i ofomu .ri,;. n,iA- t.,vrA
or his little circle of rumsoaked com-
panion-s in the village lap-rooni.
With this almost certain prospect of
the utter demoralization and hopeless
division of the Republican party, a
Democratic victory will not only be
be possible, but will amount to a cer-
tainty, provided that a National Con
vention is held and a ticket nominat
ed whir-h will command the respect
and support of the entire Democratic
partv. The National Democratic Cen-1
tral Com-nittee was to have convened
in New York City on Wednesday
last, the 8th inst., when it was fully
understood that a call would be made
for a . National Democratic Conven
tion. With a platform of genuine,
progressive, aggressive Democratic
principles, and standard bearers of
tried party integrity and acknowled
statesmanship, wisdom and ability,
the prospect for a Democratic victory
is of the most flattering nature. As
the Republicans took advantage of
our party disruption in 18C0, thus se- j
curing a victory when they were much
less in numbers in proportion to the
opposition than we are to-day, so
can we gain an easyvictory over
the two wings of the disrupted Rad
ical party , of to-day if we but
stand by our colors and allow no
internal dissensions to disturb our
harmony and no false departures to
lure us from our true allegiance. Let
the National Democratic Committee
give us a National , Convention, let
that Convention give us a Democratic
ticket, and we will sweep the country
in November like a mighty whirlwind
and once more restore our Govern
ment to its pristine purity and glory.
HIS LAST CLERICAL EXHORTATION.
Our intensely moral and eminently
clerical neighbor of the Register, de
spairing of firing the slothful souls of
his Ground Hogs to deeds of valor by
any of the arts usually resorted to in
such case, in a fit; of desperation wild
ly turns his 6m 't t :n in' the direction
ot the Democ- j v .; " Ana and. impe
riously corrzl h UH-iH o go for the
Marmots of hi j vr: l.onsehold. ' He
evidently wants our folks to prod 'em
up, with the vain hope that a few vig
orous kicks from the gentlemen com
prising our county ticket may have
the efi'ect to rouse the Ground Hogs
to at least a little spasmodic angry re
sistance. . ,Tis an empty hope, my no
ble and valliant Bombastes Furioso!
Your Ground Hogs have been kicked,
eaf&d, beaten, and scourged through
this county year after year by the
! Democratic champi-ns, until their
i spir-t is aj.l gone and' they have, only
sufficient vitality and Ambition left to
follow the instincts of the most iuani
mata of animato creatures live upon
the scanty provender which falls, with
in their reach. ! j .
Vw admire the vigilance and do
termination whilo we pity the igno
rance of our Bombastic- friend over
the way. He is too recent a carpet
bagger from the land of uusophibti
catcd Suckers to bo able to under
stand or eft'eut anything with the peo
ple of this enlightened country. lie
has yet to learn many things in regard
to his now theatre ot action, the prin.
cipal one of which is that there in no
regular Republican organization in
this county and no Ufa or ambition in
the few guerrillas and bushrangers
who claim to represent the opposi
tion to the Democratic party. IIo
might as well attempt to elevate him
self upon iho topmost pinnaclo of our
elegant court house by grasping him-J
self at the seat o! his pantaloons as to
attempt to infuse life and vitality into
the slumbering corpus of Radicalism in
this county. It is dead beyond a hope
of resurrection, and wo earnestly con
jure our clerical friend to preach its
final funeral, chant the doxolcgy over
its decayed carcass, and let its sun
blcp.chetl bones rest quietly upon the
battle field upon which it was slaiu
many years ago. Brother Van, please
to arise and line out that old familiar
hymn: "Hark from the tomb a dole
ful soundah ! "
GOT. GE0VER AT ALBANY,
The largest audience of the cam
paign greeted Gov. drover's appear
ance at the Court House, in this city,
last Wednesday evening. The Gov
ernor, although still bearing traces of
his recent indisposition, spoke fur
nearly two hours, in that clear, logical,
convincing manner which h.-w ren
dered him a. formidable thorn in the
side of Oregon Radicalism and a
correspondingly popul.tr champion of
Democracy. He reviewed the recent
Stato administrations of !ilbs and
Woods the two Radical Governors
who intervened between the last and
the present Democratic administra
tions showing up their negligence,
their delinquencies, their extrava
gances and their rascalities in a truth
ful and glaring manner, placing the
Radical party of this State upon a rec
ord which for shameless disgrace lias
scarcely any parallel. lie stated that
upon the advent to power of the pres
ent State Administration the Indem
nity School Lands, the University
Lands and the iO.'.OOO acre of lauds
for internal improvements wcr! all
yet unseclectcd (save 170,000 seres
selected under Glbbs' administration).
Thus all of these vast tracts of laud, j
which should have been years ago se-1
lected and disposed of and the money
i PlaceJ at interest, had been entirely
i neglectcl until our present IK-tno- j
icatic Administration took charce of;
aSFu irs. Now, in leas than two years
j of Democratic rule, these lands have

J a,,tce'-
He next paiJ Ji refpects to that
great Radical Ogre, the Swamp Land
act, and showed conclusively that it
was a wisc and been-cnt measure,
anJ tnc OD,y one which will insnre
the drainage and cultivation of the
erstwhile useless and worthless swamp
and overflowed lands surroundiL'.l the
myriads of lakes and water con. scs
throughout our State. He said tlu
by this act alone the State would re
alize one million dollars, which the
Democracy stood pledged to appro
priate to internal improvements and
the public school fund.
The Lock Bill next received the at
tention ot the speaker ; and we hare
seldom heard a subject so well venti
lated, so tully explained and so ably
defended as was this measure, at his
hands. He refuted all the Radical
clap-trap about the "school .fund
swindle" of the Lock Bill by showing
conclusively that the money was not.
taken from the school fund, but from
the grant of internal improvements.
He showed that the completion of
those Locks and the opening ot the
Willamette to free navigation was the
salvation of the commercial interests
ot this valley, and was a measure
which should embalm the proprietors
and champions of that measure in the
hearts of Oregon's sons and daugh
ters for generations yet to come.
Our limited space forbids further
mention of the many excellent points
which his remarks contained. His
auditors listened with wrapped atten
tion throughout his entire speech, and
retired from the meeting with ample
food for future digestion.
. The Salem Statesman literally
crawls on . its belly in its abject at
tempts to coax the disgusted Repub
licans of Marion county to support the
Bpurious ticket of a faction of Radi
cals in that county. That paper ex
hibits a piteous spectacle to the pub
lio gaze, and still the outraged and de

PETVILEGK AND RESTRICTIONS 01
RAILROAD CORPORATION.
. IlAitnisDCKa, May 1st, 1872.
Editor Democrat:
The incipient progress ot railroad
enterprise in our State has already
led to much local inquiry and fcpecu
lation concerning the general bene
fits to be derived from the roud. I
propose rather to extend than to at
tempt to answer the general inquiry.
We are aware that railroad build
ing is of recent origin. Its compli
cated bearings on commerce and pub
lic locomotion are only in a state of
early development. The powers and
privileges granted by individual
States, as well as by Congress, to
corporations have the guarantees on
ly of a short experience, and the one
or the other of the contracting par
ties may defeat or disparage the per
manent benefits of these Hues of
trade by either giving or reserving
too much. If the aggressive power
of capital is artfully used by corpo
rations to build up an arbitrary mo
nopoly it becomes a source of danger
to all the domestic interests of the
country. The problem of command
ing and nourishing capital under due
restrictions, so as to promote the
largest general interests of society,
and yet return liberal profits to tho
holder, is now demanding the most
active solution of American states
men and financiers.
Whether our own Stato has con
ceded any privilege to the It. R. Co.
which has worked a detriment to the
domestic welfare of the 'people, or
yet threatens to unduly restrain our
policy of free commerce and rival
trade, is now a gravo question of
State economy which should be seri
ously exatuiued by tho people of Or
egon. Kxperieuco tibows that mo
nopolies aro exacting and arbitrary
unless held iu check by legal boun
dary. But as a corporatn body can
more easily concentrate and barroou
ize its members for the execution of
its plans, advautngo is often taken of
tho sloth or incoherent action of the
masses in making themselves safe by
legal provisions. As labor and capi
tal are co-relative or mutual in all
their active relations, the great task
now is to harmonize tho two upon
the true medium of reciprocal inter
est. If capital exacts an onerous
tribute from labor, then labor is dis
couraged and weakened in proportion
to th extortions of capital, and the
public interest thus sacrificed for the
promotion of individual aggrandtzc-
merit.
While I profess to know but littlo
about the extent and terms of legal
instruments of surety between the It.
It. Co. and this State. I do presume
to know that the first and highest
proviuce of any State is to well and
truly protect the interests of the
State, as such. All must l accesso
ry or secondary to the general good.
These legal lines b twixt contracting
parties should be clearly drawn and !
.. 1 '.I f - mi
ac'cu up to wuu every incentive oi
r,,rwl fnitlvnritl wiflo.nt&'ttl-A firifif
We hear some cossin about the now-!
ericas dilemma of our State
in hav
j
ing a moneyed tyranny foisted upon
its commerce. Our people are re
minded that any gteat enterprise is
supervised by wary and skillful busi
ness talent, which will dare appro
priate anything which is not defend
ed by the vigilance and sagacity of
the people through their agents. If
our State has been too liberal or pre
mature in the minority of its experi
ence, let it correct the past; every
State has the right and is in duty
bound to correct its every error and
wrong of whatsoever nature. Leg
islation should keep pace with the
new necessities of interest which
arise from time to time in the pro
gressive tenure of every age. The
people can, through their trusty rep
resentatives, enact, modify or repeal
laws at discretion; can bind or loose,
cut assunder, do anything promotive
St public interest and fidelity. It
nt hI not cavil about and wait for
precedents, but make one. If Mr.
Holladay, or any other man or men,
shall a 're lay an offending hand on
the righit of the State, and thus in
timidate citizens, the Legislature
should cut off that right arm, or both
arms, and mere if needs be, in order
to vindicate th. commercial and do
mestic rights of the masses. Noth
ing on land or water is out of the
compass of legal control. There
need not be a word ot wnining
about this matter. People may
be deceived and err in new experi
ments, but if we choose and tolerate
the grievance the fault becomes large
ly our own. We should m-ke all in
terests homogeneous, and if there is
no law to meet the present crisis,
make one.
If there is intrigue and corruption,
clear the lobbies sweep them of
tbeir parasitic sycophants. If brib
ery is iu the way, punish and sup
press it. If whisky is in the way,
put it out of reach ; keep drunkards
out of office, or, if elected, make
them forfeit their office on conviction
of being drenched with rot-gut, and
thus converted into an idiotic beast
of sale. . Let the people be in ear
nest; let them show their pluck aud
make their metal ring.
Y We . would encourage no undue
jealousy and counter-pulling, but we
should remember that our commer
cial and financial liberties are among
those purchased by increasing vigi
lance. We should not idly condemn
the leech for its greed, nor fire as a
needless agent; neither should we
fail to nourish capital and esteem
lofty enterprise as auxiliaries of our
local progress.
The whole country is now making
the experiment to prove whether the
nower and natronasre of a Renublican
Government may be centered in mo
nopolies and political tings and ad
ministered through tricks and finan
e.iu.1 tie.frerdemflin. . or., whether . the
. - -O ' ' r , " '
people retain and manage the Legis
lative, and executive powers of the
Government.;, Though these several
elements should be interwoven into a
mixed fabric, with alternate features
of predominance, the voice of the
people must ever be revered as the
rightful source of power and execu
tive policy. We would ask that
some competent person of legal eru
dition briefly explain this subject
through some public journal. There
are yet many who want to know just
what the rights and liabilities of the
R. R. Co. are, and what rights are
left to the people. We want to know,
too, whether State and village subsi
dies are common and necessary, or
whether this special practice is a mere
financial piracy and bilk. - The peo
ple desire to understand, so as to do,
as well as exact, what is right.

Clackamas snro for Bnrnett.
OiiEaoN Crrv, May 7, 1872.
Editor Dcmovral :
l'erhaps a word from this city at
present might be of interest to your
Democratic readers. Tho election
for city officers took place yesterday.
Both parties had a full ticket in the
field, utid worked with might and
main for their election. For twelve
years past the Republicans have bad
undisputed sway, dragging the city
into debt to the amount of five or six
thousand dollars, the Democrats not
having a man in the Council. The
election was a complete victory for
the Democrats, with tho exception of
two Councilmen aud the City Treas
urer. The ticket as elected is as fol
lows: Mavor, A. Noltner; Recorder,
S. Diller; Treasurer, C. O. T. Wil
liams; Murshal, S. 1). Richardsou;
Assessor and Collector, 11. S. Kelly;
City Attorney, A. F. Forbes; C'oun
cilioeu, Col. W. L. White, Julirs
Logos, S. W. Moss, Jas. Athev, R.
Catifield (Democrats), Capt. J. D.
Miller and Dr. A. J. Appcrsou (Re
publicans). Mayor Noltner was serenaded at
bis residence last night by the Ore
gon City Bras Band. The Demo
crats are jubilant, us this is the first
time in the lust twelve years that
they have elected a single city officer.
They feel confident beyond a doubt
that this county will give a Demo
cratic majority of from 100 to 150.
The Republicans have given up till
hopes ot electing their county ticket;
they assert openly that their ticket is
the poorest ever offered to the people
of Clackamas county.
Gov. G rover spoke here last Tues
day evening to the large it crowd ever
known to assemble at a political
meeting iu this county.
The Republicans have no leader.
Hon. 1). 1. Thompson arrived home
from Washington Jat week, but as
tl'O Republican party continue to call
him a "Swamp Land Robber," (he
bing the prime mover of tho Lock
Bill), be doesn't feel much like giving
thorn a "lift." Jihilast.
