.AUGUST 1, lS'JW
ROW Kit RXVIII
The "political editor" of tho Al
bany Roister exhibit signs of detf
peration. He is evidently labor'
tinder a "perturbed stale of mind."
Whether it will result in an elopement
with a school marm, ' change of
eitmc bigamy, and, culminate finally
in his election to a sent in vho United
Stales Senate, or a celt in thelnstna
Asylum, remains to be seen certain
it is, something is "uboat to be did,1
vt has already been done by this grave
"political editor of the Register.
Tins foregoing is sufficient for those
who read laxt week's Register to an
ticipato tis ia the article in that paper
to which we refer, under the cap'
tion of "What Assumption," the "po
litical editor" of the Register makes a
bold and dashing charge npon "the
defenders of the Democratic party;
directing the whole force of his assault
upon the devoted heads of the Jfer-
tfirv and De mc but. Like tbo mad
bull, ho 6hnts bis eyes ; Don Quixotic
like, he cuts and lashes the air with
his sword, be strikes out right and
left, front and rear, with a degree of
reckless fury and desperation truly
alarminz not to his foes, bat to hie
friends. The article to which we re
fer should bo read to he (not under
stood, but) appreciated. Ia the first
forty lines of the editorial referred
to there is sot a full stop. How this
political editor (?) could hold bis
areata so long we cannot understand
Nor is there in the first forty lines
'after the first two, a sentence or word
not : cniled from the fish monger or
be classic precincts of the Five Points,
that once upon a time was regarded a
scab even upon the New York body
politic
For the benefit of such of our read
era as do not the Register, we will
quote a few lines from this model ed
itorial of our contemporary, and then
"perhaps' inJalge ourselves in some
comments, treating it at the same
time as thongh his meaning not his
words were lucid and bis language
chaste. Here it is: "A party whose
history U identified with the darkest
treachery and most revolting acts of
blood ; whose love of human slavery
led.it to seek the nation's life in iu
defense; whose long satalogno of
crimes against God and humanity, ex
tending over a period of more that 40
years, rendered its existence a mildew
and a enrse to itself, as well as those
"whom by misrepresentation and de
ception and fraud it sought to serve."
We will not do the "political editor")
of the Register the injustice to sup
pose bim capable of knowing anything,
or responsible for what he writes, ex
cept that be must implicitly obey the
mandates of his political masters; bot
the reader will readily understand
that it is much easier to make a naked
declaration, if the consci enco is suffi
ciently flexible, than it is 1 o slate facti
and to prove them. The arst of these
naked declarations quoted above is
"a party whose history is identified
:th the darkest- treachery and most
svofttw-cts of blood." No facts
are here stated si to time, place,
or circumstances. It was certainly
not a Democratic administration in
power after the 4th ot March, 1861,
that gars from day to day the South
Carolina commissioners assurance that
Fort Sumpter would not be reinforced
without first giving them notice of
the fact and gave this friendly as
surance" after tlte fleet was dispatched.
Ibis . was treachery. 'It was n t a
Democratic administration, who in
Angnst, 1861, informed the Govern
x-t .
raents of England and France that!
"whether or not tho United States
Government succeeded in overcom
ing the opposition to its authority in
the South the institutions of those
Slates would not bo changed. If this
opposition was overcome those States
would still be States - of the
Union, with their local governments
institutions unchanged, if not tbey
-ironld be members of another confed
trtucjP But the sequel shows this
was treachery. It was not a Demo
cratic cabinet officer who enter
tained at his home in Washington, in
the early part of 1862, an ex-Senator
""-with whom be had formerly served, i
S Tti when he left for his home in the
r u:a t,: " .1 . i - j
mai ant itit uiui uuu djjccu, ill
less than an hour signed a warrant ior
bis arrest and incarceration in a mili
tary bastile. This too was treachery.
It was not a Democratic I President
who declared be had no right to in
terfere with the institution of slavery
in the South and then issued a procla
tnation declaring the slaves all free.
i This, too', "was treachery. : All these
acts of treachery and we have not
told the half were committed in high
e places, and we could filt one page of
our paper with similar acts by subor
dinates if it were necessary, but this
will suffice for once. . rU:i .?-i w.
One comment now upoa "another
part of the quotation above and, we
will dismiss the subject for . the pres
ent. It IS ''whose love ot slavery
' led it to seek the nation's life in its
defences". ;"Itwas not the Democratic
party or any of its prominent men
j who said, the Ctmstitution of the
United States .is a league wkb bell
and covenant with the devil, bat it
. the Democratic party who de-
t3i mined that the rights of all, iortbr
South, East or West ebonld be pro
tected "under that thanor of liberty
and human rights, bequeathed us by
wise heads and honest heart; this
brought on the conflict. The Democ
racy never sought the "nation's life."
The Democracy had preserved it lor
seventy years and it was never en
dangered until the Republican parly
ame into power and it will be in
danger as long as that party remains
in power.

The laily Portland Xetes, of the
22d ult., has a very sensible and well-
written editorial upon the subject of
the tariff and transportation, and we
agree with the editor .of that paper
when he says that the present ia a
"most favorable time for - the exarai
nation and appreciation of facts that
relate to the tariff." . The editorial re
ferred to is devoted exclusively to one
article that of . railroad, iron the
rails and iron incidentally used in the
construction and operation 'of rail
roads in the United. States. This
class of iron is subjected to a duty of
$14 per ton.. One hundred tone of
rails are necessary to lay one mile of
track, and within the three years last
past there wero 19,641 miles of rail
road track laid in the United States.
Thus it will be seen that by reason of
this tariff of f 14 per ton on the iron
the increased cost of constructing
these roada for rails alone was about
832,000,000, to say nothing of all the
iron incidentally used in their con
structiou, which it is estimated will
qnadruple that amount. This will
make it 12S,OC0,00O which is drawn
from the people of the United States
and put into the pockets of the iron
mongers for railroad iron alone. Let
ns apply these figure to the railroads
in our'own State. We have now, ssy
250 miles of railroad in operation In
Oregon. The increased cost of con
struction, by reason of this tariff on
the rails, is 350,000, and this sum
quadrupled by all the other incidents
we mean iron for all other railroad
uses and we have thetnug little sum
of $1,400,000 to come ont of the
pockets of the Oregon railroad pat
rons to make up this excess of cost of
construction over what it would have
been under the free trade system.
But we hare been speaking of rail
road iron only, and that is bnt a drop
in the ocean compared to all the other
iron used in the United States. It
will be borne in mind that the duty
on railroad iron is -a great deal less
than on other iron, which Is taxed
from $20 to $30 per ton. It will
readily be seen that this tax upon iron
is enormoo, and npon whom does
the burden fall? The agriculturist
and laborer pay the whole of ill For
whose benefit? To enrich the lords
of the iron mountains; not that this
bonus ia necessary to keep the furna
ce and forges in operation, becaase
they must and will be kept going to
supply our vast and increasing de
mand for iron, ' and that immutable
law of trade sopply and demand
will govern the price.
But the iron interest is not the only
moneyed monopoly the government is
fostering by excessive taxation, levied,
by way of import duties, npon the
agricultural and laboring, classes of
this country; Erery fabric,: from the
coarsest to the finest; worn npon our
bodies trimmings and ornaments; the
shoes, boots and stockings . npon our
feet; the ware and cutlery ' upon oar
tables, and much that is placed there
on for oar consumption; all, every
thing we have, as con gamers, comes
to ns at an enhanced cost of front 23
to 100 per cent, by reason of this pro
tection, which government throws
around the moncred interest of ,our
country at the expense of the coo-
m. " i 't
euiui f A v vv eseavv sv. v m , svu
burdened for the past twelve years,
and it is time to more seriously con
sider this subject. " We have but to
examine to appreciate the extent of
the burdens we bear for the benefit of
capital. If we refuse to nnderstand
it and to apply the remedy we de
serve to suffer. . .,'

As they approach their political
graveyard many of our Republican
contemporaries are; whittling lustily
to keep their courage tip.: The Mull
et in thinks Mr. Nesmith can be beaten
by tho Republican party in the race,
and says: "But if he should be elected
we wouldn't deem it so disastrous to
the "Republican party after all."
That's characteristic, hold on with
one hand good Lord, good devil
you don't know whose bands you may
fall into.
Tho Albany Register seems to think
that since Dr. Chapman's apostasy
the Democratic party' "has no head."
With a sufficiency of body and soul,
neighbor, and the heads that wilt sp
pear around the polls on the 13th of
October with Democratic tickets tn
their hands, we think we can get
along. We havo long since been '. con'
vinced that a central head In human
shape waa a necessity in. the Repnbli
can ranks; and whatever that head
thinks, the rank and file must think ; and
whatever it speaks the rank and file
must reiterate; if this central head
says bigamy is no crime, but a virtue,
the lesser fry must re-echo the senti
ment under tho pains and penalties
ot being branded a Democrat!
With the Democratic party the rale
is essentially different. The masses
of the Democracy tolerate no head to
do their thinking or dictate their
speech. They are generally able to
give reason for the faith that ia in
them, and independent enough to act
opon their honest convictions.
'POUTlCAi. APATHY."
Such is the caption of an article in
the Orryonian ot the 15th instant, and
it says this is manifest in both political
parties in the East as well as in Ore
gon. If the Democratic party is as
dead as most radical journals would
like to have it appear, any degreo of
apathy in that party should not be
wondered at. jwe think we can ac
count for the apparent apathy in the
Republican party. It is not that
those npon whom the present work
devolves are idle; bnt it is that
time is required in which to do the
woi k just in band. Look at the nam
ber of States to elect representatives
to Congress some of them Governors,
and the lime necessary to consult the
administration at Washington to as
certain who "will be acceptable." To
suppose the radical party in any State
would think of nominating a candiate
for Governor or Congress without
first knowing that such nomination
would "prove acceptable to f the ad
ministration at Washington," would
bo equivalent to supposing the radical
party in tho several States had as
sumed to control their owe State pol
itics according to their own taste and
independent of federal dictation. Do
this, radical friends, at your peril, and
the edict from Washington will be
thrust under your noses to "attend
to yonr own business and let politics
alone." Why, yoo would be called a
Democrat the next week, and if you
will consult the Register of this city
of last week, you will see tbero is
nothing so loathsome. !
