With .this wo ought to win, and can Win, Without it, we will ba busted fc-M usual, i' '.i A WOBD OF WABNINUI Wo avail oursolf of this number : ef the Dkuocbat to utter a few time Jy words of warning to the people of ' Oregon in view of the Congressional campaign whioli will be fairly opened before the issue of our noxt number. . The Pernooratio Convention whioh ' meets in Portlaud ou Tuesday next, , will, of oourso, place beforo the coun try a platform of principles and a candidate for Congress in full eympa ' ; thy with the principles then and there ',' enunciated, Principles ncvor change. Different expedients may bo resorted to from time to time to carry out the principles,' but the principle, never thelcss, is the same. Tlio principles that actuated our forefathers in adopt- ing our federal system of government : in 1789 are to day, and have ever been - the principles of the Democratic party as expounded by Jefferson and ad hered to by all subsequent Democrat ic administrations of our general government. And so long as those principles were carried out in the ad ministration of our federal govern ment, so long were wo at peace at borne and respected abroad j. our gov ernment wasotjly felt in its beneficence like the gcntlo dews of Heaven, it full alike upon all nourished and pro . , teoted all alike; no special legislation for the interest of capital as against labor ; no oxotnptiou by federal legis lation of the taxation of any species of private proporty; no protective tariffs to rob the consumer for the benefit of the Urmnulaoturer, and no interference by the powers at Wash ington in the local state government, nor was thero over, during any Demo cratio administration, any effort on the part of Congress to encroach upon or diminish or circumsoribe tlio sov ereign powers of a State. It is idlo to say that all these ques tions are obsolete They nro as dear to the patriotio heart to-day as they Were in the first Congress that assem bled under tho Constitution in 178!), when, among othors, the Oth and 10th amendments, wore proposed, to-wit: IX "Tho enumeration in tho cou atitution of cortain rights, shall not bo oonstrucd to deny or disparngo others retained by the people" And X "The powor not dolegated to tho United States by tho Constitution aor prohibited by it to tho States, aro reserved to tho States respectively. or to tho people The Republican party havo not yot completed tho woik they boI out to accomplish, nor will they ooniplcto it until they havo rendered overy State In the Union as poworloss for tho purposes of local government as ib any county in any Stnto. Look at the strides already made to supercede by fedoral authority all Stato gov ernments. In 18G8, in their National platform, they declared that "the question of suffrage rightfully belong ed to tho States," and iuluss than six months passed an amendment to the Constitution, through Congress taking this sovereign right nway from the State and lodging it in Congress, and then Congress coerces certain States to adopt the fifteenth amuuduicut, by denying them any representation in Congress, upon their failure or refusal to ratify the fiftoonth amendment. Wo worn the people to pUuo no Tolianeo in nny promises made by tho Republican platform of Thursday next. They will denounce nionopo- j lies. Mid you all know how they build them up and subeiduio them, and tax you to pay tho subsidies. They will cry. out against Chinese iuiiniyration and you all know that the last sessiou of Congress increased the Chinese Mail Steamship subsidy from fuUO,. 000, to 61,000,000, aud you oertainly have not forgotten that it is ouly about three years sinco that the U. S. Senate passed a bill by a largo major ity, changing our naturalization laws foaa to allow Chinese and all othor inferior races 'immigrating to this country, to beceme citizem entitled to the right of suffi age; and were only induced to reconsider tho Yolo by whioh the bill passed, ae was stated by leading radicals, that its passage Blight lose them the vote of the lJa eifio States, in the Presidential con test of 1872;" not that tho bill was an utraye npon American citizenship; not that a radioal Congress was not willing to fasten this humiliation npon us if iuconld have done so, and still have held on to power, but it took counsel of iis fears; let these fears pass away, lot thern be firmly seated in power and then Chinese are ad milled to citizenship! J ! We expeot p seo them on Thurs day next come down in the dust of humility beforo the farmers, cringe and fawn and promise to favor all their i'ntereBts the only friends the farmers have. No doubi if they thought it would secure thorn a tri umph in this election they would, and wp shall not be surprised if thoy do, declare for "freo trade and farmers' rights." But of what avail ? WTho is the voter in Oregon that does not know' that such a promiso will be mado only to be broken ? A protec tion tariff is as much a fixture in the radical party as are greenbacks lor the tax ridden laboring man, and gold for the non-taxed bondholder. No doubt thoy will deny eyor having been opposed to opening the falls of Willamette river' to froe navigation, but yon liave not forgotten the de nunciation heaped upon a Democratic legislature by the radicals in the lost campaign, for what they were in their classic style plcaBcd to call that enter prise, "tho lock and dani swindle." And another thing our friends, both Democrats and Republicans of the Willamette, have not and will not soon forget it is, that tho "lock and dam swindle" has brought them cheap transportation. ' ' 11 lli:l'i;UM AN PliATPOBM. In this paper will be found what we regard a vary good Democratic plat form, as far as it goes, that may or may not, as tho convention at Port land on Tuesday next detormino, bo taken into consideration by that au gust body. Not wishing to seem partial in bestowing gratuitous labor, wo now propose to give our radical friends who hold their convention iiu this city on Thursday a platform. In this it will be seen wo havo departed from the rule observed in construct ing the Democratic platform. In that wo used the saino timber always used by the parly in such instances. In this we shall use what the practice ani policy of tho the Republican party would indicate tho timber to bo and build it accordingly. Hero it is: 1st. Our Federal Union was foi mod for tho benefit of tho general govern ment. - l!ud..Tho several States can oxer- oiso no powers not delegated to them by tho general government. 3rd. That nil the States not in hnr- mony with tho administration Washington in its political sentiments should bo reconstructed by Congress, and, if need bo, Congress should dis franchise enough Democrats in such ohstinato States to enable the Repub licans therein to bring such Stales into harmony with tho aduiistration at Washington. 4ili. Wo approve of a protective tariff. Our manufacturing C8tnblish uients of Bait and iron, cotton and woolen fabrics are thereby enabled to exact from our pooplo better p'iicos for tho products of their establish lishnienls,nnd also enables them to pay our members of Congress largor sums to voto for protection, 6th. As all other needed railroads are either built or properly subsidized for building, except the Portland Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad, wo aro opposed to granting aid to said road for tho reason that Kastorn Oregon persists in boing Demooratie, and for that reason should enjoy no such facili ties, and there is great danger that tho completion of said road would facili tate tho settlement of Idaho to that dogreo that it would soon apply for admission as a Stato and beyond a doubt would bo Democratic, Cth. Inasmuch as tho Republican party hold the three Pacific States by a frail tennro, we aro in favor of en couraging Chinese immigration and enfranchising them, being assured that they would then volu tlio Repub lican ticket and our future and lasting power be assured, 7th. youthful indiscretions com mitted beforo tlio i!7th year of their ago should not bo remembered against thoso nl'lorward ntlainiii!' hiirh iilaoos in our party. Wo fully torgivo "our now Senator" his early indiscretions and attribute all to a "perturbed slate of mind." 8ih. Too high a moral standard should not bo set up by which to judge our public men. Living in Washington is expensive mid federal ofliuera generally, and everywhere. must livo high to maintain the digni ty of their several stations. Ropubli- in olllcers are taxed hidi to oarrv the elections in the different Stales and salaries must be hili, and if even iheli the exchequer ol soiuu should lan snore ami piiiino minis uo taken to supply tho deficit, the necessity of tho occasion should be deemed a valid ami sullieienl exouse. Oih Wo approve of the administra tion of President tlrant in 1st. 1 lis financial abilities havmg, since first in augurated, accumulated a fortune equal to our favorite shoddies and secured so large an increase of his salary, and 2nd. In Ins edict to tlio people of some of tho Southern Status to ''let politics alone" ho hopo lie will ho have it apply to all, theu wo need hold no contentious, nor write ami publish platforms takinir piiitlonn, Hinf lus PLATFORM. We are not a delegate to tho Dem ooratio State Convention, and hence van have no voice in making np the platform embodying the principles of tho party and its future policy. We therefore proposo to make one of our own and to givo this written authori ty to tho Stato Convention to adopt it, or so much thereof as it may deem fit, or none if it so decides; but we fear if the substance of what we have here is not embodied in, that plat form tfiere won't be much Democratic ring about it. Here it is: 1st. That our Federal Constitution is tho written ngroehic'nt by which the several sovereign and co-equal States oonsented to form a fedoral Union, and by which tho Slates so forming this Union agreed to bo bound ; and that such powers as were not by the terms of this Constitution granted to Ihi federal government were reserved to tho States respectively. '2nd. That the purposes of , this Union were to "establish justice, in sure domestio tranquility, provido for the common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the bless ings of liberty," and tho safest means of communicating and treating with foreign powers. 1 . 3rd. That the powors graqled to tho, federal government should be strictly construed, and it should, be fully sustained in the exercise of all the powers delegated to it; and that any attempt on the part of tho general government to exeroise a power not delegated to it in the Constitution, or in a manner not therein prescribed, is an act of usurpation, demanding the unqualified , Condemnation of t the pooplo as tending to the destruction of our federal system and to central ized despotism. 4th. Wo hold it to bo essential to the preservation of the liberties of the citizen, that tho sovcral States shall bo maintained in all their rights, dig nity and equality, as the moBt com petent and reliable administrators of J their own domostio concerns and th surest bulwark against anti-republ can tendencies. (jlh.xThat the only power delegntod to Congress by tho Constitution to imposo taxes upon tho peoplo consists in tlio right to collect revenue for the ourront oxpenses of the governmen and tho payment of tho federal debt. and all other duties imposed fur tho purpose of protecting ono class of la bor at the expense of another aro in violation of tho foderal compact, and subversion of tho rights of tho peo ple. oth. That iustieo to tlio ticonlo as well as tho dictates of common lion esty demand a rigid economy in tho administration of both Stato and fed end government and the speody and impartial arrangmont of .all abuses of publio trust beforo tho cstab lishod tribunals of justice and the great bar of popular judgment, , 7th. Wo are opposed to granting by the genoral government of Bubsi dies to steamship lines to import Chinese slavos to our shores; and wo demand suoh a modification of the Rurliugamo troaty with China as will effectually cut off this stream of Chinoso immigration. 8th, Wo demand of Cougross an additional appropriation for tho re moval of obstructions to tho naviga tion of tho Willametto river, and such aid by appropriation or othcrwiso as will open tho Columbia river to freo navigation, by means of n canal and looks at tho Casoado portage; and the procoods of tho sales of alteruato sections of public lands, as providod for by bill of tho Hon, Jas. H. Sinter, introduced in Congress in aid of tho Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Rail road. 0th. That Clod required man to till tho soil; that agriculturo is tho pri mary interest of tho world, from which all trade ond commorco spring; that wo hail with delight any and all systemlsod organizations favoring ro lief to tlio farmer from tho oppressions of monopoly in tho transportation of j ins proauois ana supplies, ami tlio re lief of his bnrdons in oommon with all others from tho onerous taxation by import duties on nil he consumes. 10th. That for tho best interest of nil, tho Democracy of Wregon, forget ting all past political differences, cor diully invito the co-operation of all opposed to oonnpliou aud consolidation.

In Franco tho storms have dono much damage, and a deficiency of at least ten to twonly per cent may bo relied upon. Tlioro are ac counts of increased prices in many localities, and in Paris flour has ad vanced considerably. Old wheat has entirely disappeared from the market aud new is supplying its place at high er prices. In Hungary the condition of tho crops has beeu greatly over rated, and from the prevalance of cholera and an interference with tlio work of harvesting threatened in Ger many, only an ordinary yield is hoped for. The paper also sums up tho sit ir .ion by saying that with a deficient crop, exhausted stocks and hut gener ally moderate prospects in Europe, low prices seem almost impossible noxt season.
