A large and enthusiastic audience
assembled at the Court House, on
Saturday last to hear GeneralJ. W,
Nesmith and C. O. Curl, Esq., discuss
the political issues of the day. lion
II. L. Brown was Called to the chair.

lie had gone south to meet the Hon
G. IL Williams, but that gentleman
had declined to divide the time ; with
him. This he thought proper, as
that great embodiment of eloqueuce,
honesty and judicial lore received
$0,000 per annum for his inestimable
services, and as this money was wrung
from, the pockets of the poor tax-pay
ers,it M-aa but justice to them that
he should occupy all the time, in order
to earn his money. Mr. Nesmith was
speaking for nothing, and fighting the
battle alone. Want of space prevents
us from giving a full report of his
speech, and we are compelled to be
content with a brief synopsis. The
speaker then proccded to analyze the
Republican platform. He did this out
of charity to that party, as their stump
peakers had declinod to refer to it. In
reviewing the second resolution, con
cerning our economical (?) Administra
lion, he showed that $80,000,000 wero
annually 6tolen from the people, after
allowing all that Radicals claim as
necessary expenses of tho Govern
ment, He referred to those Radi
cals who had formed the brain and
statesmanship of the party, but had
now deserted it, because they could
no longer remain in an organization
that was thus robbing a tax-ridden
people in every conceivable channel

Congress, and the leaders of the par
ty, were constantly refusing to give
it to the South. He exploded their
"railroad aid' plank, showing by
Grant's message and the recent ac
tion of Congress that the Executive
and the Legislative branches of the
Government opposed any further
grants, and cited the bill granting
right of way to tho Salt Lake and
Columbia river road which got only a
strip of land one hundred feet wide.
He proved that Democrats were not
opposed to railroads. Mr. Xesmi;h
then reviewed the tariff question, in
masterly manner. This was a them

King, his sixty-thousand-acre-monopolists,

these lands.
It is a fact patent to all who have
had the opportunity of reading any
ox our btate papers during the past
year or two, that the Board of Land
Commissioners passed a rule at the
commencement of their labors, that
all settlers having claimed and im
proved land that came within the de
scription of swamp or overflowed,
should not be molested, and not one
single settler has lost an acre or a
dollar by the Swamp Bill. We defy
the Begialer, or any other paper, to

lions of our best citizens denied the
exercise of that heaven-born boon the
elective franchise.
C. G. Curl, Esq., followod in a brief,
but excellent speech, referring to our
State politics in a masterly; manner,
then devoting his attention to national
issues, whioh he handled in Tiis uaua
happy stylo. He cloarly showed that

Gov. Grover III. A correspon
dent, writing from Roseburg, under
date of May 20th, states that Govern
or Grover had been for several days
confined to his bed by a fever, and
was compelled to abandon tho can
vass in the southern counties. Ho was,
however, improving, and is doubtless
traveling again by this time. Tho
writer speaks in the highest terms of
the Democratic speakers who have
visited that town, and says a lasting
impression has been made, and the
people have become convinced that
the Radical party is one mass of cor
ruption, unworthy tho support of al
honest men. Gov. Grover's arguments
were clear, ooncise and logical, so pal
pable that a child could understand
them. G. II. Williams elicited no en
thusiasm whatever, and Gazlev and
Kelsay wore making abortive attem pts

He said lands if these lands belonged
to the school fund, no power could

would have this enterprise completed
by a private corporation, without the
f-ayment of one dollar. He made
several happy allusions to the swamp
land bill, exhibiting the benefit to be
derived from its workinc. Tho
speaker then noticed the "Temper
ance" plank of the Radical platform,
snowing that its tendency was only
to make the vendors of liquors more
respectable and responsible. In il
lustration he supposed that, in con
forraity to the practical logic of that
resolution a respectable man. a r.
cation was from J. C. Snodgrass.
We have in our possession a letter
from Mr. Snodgrass, saying that a
"viciously exaggerated interpreta
tion has been placed upon " his, re

a statement that is a "malicious tale."
His letter contains these words:

Misrepresentation. Tho Orenonian
of Friday last has this:
"Mr. Burnett in one of hit nm-orU,-

irisnmen like this."
Mr. Burnett, in a speech we heard
him make a few weeks ago, said the
people of the South, who had been
deprived of their suffrages, of repre
sentation, and their liberty, and yet
taxed most onerously, felt like over
throwing the carpet-baggers in their
midst and reestablishing law and
justice. That it wan isolated cases
of resistance to outrage that had
given rise, in p.ixt. to the. howl of
"Ku Klux ;" and bW said in this re
spect the people of the "puth stood
iu the same attitude to their Jocal
governments as Fenians did toward
their native land. Then he adde
that in that sense, he teat a Fenian.
-TKotuzvl Falskuood. The Ore
ffonian of the 21st asserts that, upon
an alleged statement made by Jo,
leal, all white laborers were to be
discharged from the Locks on the 5th
of June, and their places filled by
Chinamen. V e have seen Mr. Teal
and he informs as that this is willfully
and shamefully false. The Company
has been advertising for the past six
weeks for more men, and Mr. Teal
remarked that, unless white men could
be found soon, in sufficient numbers
to complete the locks within the spe
cified time. Chinamen would have to
De resorted to. Thus falls to th
ground another Radical roorback, got
up by unscrupulous demagogues for
"o jjurpusu vi causning votes.
SPEAKING! AT LEfiAKOir.
Not Profanity. Mr. Nesmith,
in his speech at the Court House, said
he had Deen accused by the Radical
press of using profane language in
his speeches. He desired it distinct
ly .understood that when bo used the
word "dam" he referred to that "ob
struction in the Wallamet whereby a
too precipitous flow of the protoxide
of hydrogen over the basaltic forma
tion was, prevented." Any whipper-
snapper Radical reporter who failed
to make this explanation, he should
consider a "Lock and Dam swindle."
As our clerical brother of the Itegwter
was present, ne doubtless now "knows
bow it is himself. " "

Hon. C. G. Curl met a , large aud
enco at Lebanon, on Tuesday last.
His arguments regarding tho Swamp
Land and Lock bills were plain ami
convincing. He showed that two
thirds of the applications for swam
land had come from Rcpublicans.-
He cited that tho IV T. Co's Look
Bill called for $125,000 in coin, and
had it passed, would havo been un
constitutional, being a greater indebt
edness than tho btate could contract
under that instrument. Another
point was the difference in . charging
on "registered tonnage" and "actus
tonnage." By the P. T. Co's bill per

Mr. Curl then passed to the tariff
question, and practically deinonstra
ted iu workings to tho satisfaction of
all present, Tho odious banking sys
tern of tho present Administration
next occupied tho attention of tho
speaker. This was the most odious
aud damnable in its workings of al
tho financial operations of tho Gov
ernment. He bad thus far been dual
iug in national issues of a financial na
ture, which affected tho pockets of the
people, but now ho appealed to their
hearts; to their sense of honor. Ho
pointed to tho Ku Klux and bayonet
laws of the Radical Congress; to the
tendency of the movement to ecu
tralize tho judicial powers of tho Gov
erument ; aud appealed to thw people
to rid tho country of a party which,
amid all the glorious light of liberty,
and in tho broad blazo of Republican,
Christian institutions, had held suvon
millions of the best citizens in the
Union in a degradation aud bondage
more abject and tyrannical, and for
a longer period, than bad ever black
ened the pages of any country on tho
face of the earth, boasting a written
constitution. ' Ho congratulated his
atidienco upon the cheering prospects
all ocr the State, and gave a brilliant
report of that section of tho stato be
bad traversed.
At the conclusion of Mr. Curl's re
marks, A. C. Jones Esq., was called
for. Although he had been shaking
with the chills, his Democracy yet re
mained unshaken. He thought the
Republicans' silence upon national is
sues was Decattse tho honest portion
wm ashamed of its record, and
cited in proof tho action of the head
and brains of the party in tho Eastern
States, led by Sumner, Trumbull,
Schurz and others, who had forever
withdrawn from so corrupt an organi
zation. Grant s " Let us have peace"
had become a mockery in the ears of
the people. Coming .-o State politics,
Mr. Jones asserted tb.it thcro was
only ono man they sought, to defend
that was Sam. May. A thievery
was the ono great principle of their
party, consistency demaaded that they
should defend it in the person of their
May. The Radicals had put broad

candidates on it, but some of thei."
were constantly falling off, and by

Who abb tub Thieves? From tho
records of the State Department it
has been ascertained that, under the
laws of 1870, 121 Radicals have ap
plied for 3,597,018 acres of swamp
land making an average of 28,200.
58 acres to each man. On the other
hand, 147 Democrats have applied
2,084,897 acres making an ave
rage of 14,185.97 to each man
lhus Kepublicana have applied for
1,412,721 acres of Swamp land more
man an tne .Democrats put together;
and, on the average, each Republican
has applied for twice as much as each

Rapil IjrCttKASE The Oregonian,
in preparing tho publio mind for the
astonishing imported vote the Rad
icals propose polling in Portland in
June, estimatima tes the legal voters
of Multnomah at 3,200. This is an
increase of 800 sine'e 1870. At the
usual rate of one voter to seven of
population, this would mako an in
flux into that county in t?o years of
5,000. No such immigration has ar
rived, and this bosh is only p ut iprth
to prepare for a heavy importation of
Holladay's tools. But the honest, le

its citizens from, this outraore. even
though it cost a sacrifice of blood.

Plain Talk. The San Francisco
Examiner is in favor of a straight out
Democratic nomination for President,
and feels sanguine of the division in
the Republican ranks being sufficient
to enaoie me democracy to win.
Tbe trouble is, Greeley expects the
Democrats' support or else he draws
out. If Democrats do not rally to
Greeley, of course Greeley's men will
go tor the Democracy. Those Cin
cinnati soreheads will vote for a Dem
ocrat anyhow, in preference to Grant,
so where's the difference whether
Greeley or a Democrat runs?
Withdrawn. R. A. Gesner, a
Republican of Marion county, who
has for some time advertised himself
as an " Independent" candidate for
Sheriff, has withdrawn, because he
did not want to " aid or seem to aid
any Democrat into offiice." He was
willing to receive Democrat's aid,
until his first love got tho best of him.
