Last week Jan. ii. Ctfwan,X. B.
Montague, R. X. Irvine,; Wra. M.
Smith, oiul several other active Dem
ocrats of Xebanoii lrecinet, got up a
recanting paper and circulated it lor
signatures among those Democrats in
that section who liqil signed the
"Tax-Paver"" call, recalling their
. names, from that bogus, cayuso in
strument and repledging their al
legiance and devotion to the Demo
cratic partv. In that section of the
couily all save two or three men
promptly signed the recanting paper,
end as copies of it are being circu
lated j by active Democrats in other
localities, it is most probable that
many of those Democrats who have
been "sniped'.' and humbugged into
the Tax-Payers' movement will be
induced to return to their time-
ihonored party.
We herewith append the recanting
"document, with ft list of names of
those Democrats who haw signed it.
It is a manly, open, frank avowal qn
.the part of our Democratic friends
that they had been misled and dc-
, ceived into signing the "Cay use"
call. "Vie are proud ' to see our
friends so promptly discard this dis
organizing movement and acknowl
edge their firm and unwavering al
legiance to the grand old Democratic
Jmrty. Let every Democrat who has
signed the TaxPayfls' humbug pa
per read this document, and if he
, has not already signed a retraction
of his name let him seek the first op
portunity of doing so:
We the undersigned, citizens and
Tax-Payers of Linn county, having
been led to believe that a certain
paper presented to us for signature,
purporting to be a call for a conven
tion to nominate a "lieform ticket"
was gotten up in good faith for the
aole purpose indicated, but finding
that said movement was a ruse of our
ancient enemy to disorganize and
disrupt Jhe 'Democratic party, hereby
take mo earnest opportunity to ill
chum further adhesion to a partici
pation in snid movement,- Believing
' that if there ia any wrong in the
Democratic household the Democrats
are tho propor persons to remedy it

DEATH Of tllAltl.KS NUlUNEH.
Yesterday, in the Senate, Senator
Sumner had a slight attack, affecting,
the nerves of the heart, buf, when be
returned home was sufficiently well
to entertain bis friends at dinner, a'
the closo.of which he made allusion
to tho condition of his Heart. Be
tween 9 and 10 v. it. he was taken so
sick as to require the attendance of a
physiciun. An hour or more after,
be had a second attack of his old dis
ease nmjlna peelvrii. Several of his
nearest personal friends were sent for
and remained with him during the
night. He passed a quiet n'ght under
a subcutitnoouBinjcetionof morphine.
This morning at 9 o'clock ho was
sleeping under the effects of it with
out material change. Surgeon-General
Barnes and Drs. Johnson and
Lincoln wero at Unit hour in consul
tation at the residoneo of the Senator.
At 12:15 Sumner was fsstfailiug. In
addition' to his physicians, Senator
Schurz and Representatives Tierce,
Goorgo F.'and K. R. Hoar, are with
him. Dr. Brown Sequard bus been
telegraphed fur, and is on his way to
this city. At 2 P. M. Senator Sum
ner was still sleeping, though at inter
vals he would awaken, at which times
he was iu grout ptin. Ho is perfect
ly conscious when awake and knows
all his friends, occasionally rallying'
to an effort of Buying a few words to
them.
8 P. M. Senator Sumnor has just
died, Dispatch of March 11.

The Democratic State Convention,
will in cot at the Court House, in this
city, on next Wednesday, the 18th
int. to nominnto a full Stato tiokot
and enuntjiato a Platform ol Principles
for the ensuing campaign. Wo have
no adviA lo give that Convention. It
will be composed of representative
men of the Domooi ocy of tho State
men fully competent to look out for
tho wollaro and shape the destinies of
the great Domooratlo party of Oregon.
By wisdom in eouneil and harmony
in action on the part of this Conveu
lion we may surely expect a victory
in the Juno election.
And uovr comes the news trembling
over the wires that Van Polt, a sa-
loouist in New Vienna, Ohio', bus
boon converted by the crusading fe
males of that vilhigo, and it ,1s now
Mr. Van Pelt's delight to Jiluco him
self iu the center of a circle of women
and relate how he formerly slung oufj
bud whiskey at 10 cents a glass;
meanwhile his admirers have rusted
him the sum of 8150 00 in cash, which
in more money than Mr. Van Pelt
ever had before and he is as happy as
a Sunday school scholar.
' It is reported in certain quarlors
that tho boy stood on the burning
deck, wueiica all but him hud fled. It
may bo well, however, for the peoplo
to accept this statement only alter
carchil scrutiny, ns there is reason to
leur that it is merely a i use on the
part of the railroad monopoly, and in
tonded to divert public patroungc from
ocean routes oftravcl.
Asm now the President may be
presumed to be happy. He has r ign-
ed the new salary-grub law which re
peals all increase of saluries but his
own. Re does not sctn 16 appreci
ate, the fact that the infamy of the old
measure, which was spread out over

' Habbisbgbg, March 9, 1874-. .
Editor Democrgl:' ' '
It is to be observed through tire
columns of your paper, that reflects
the sentiments of the people, that
there is a settled determination to se
lect good men and true, to fill the
various offices, county and State, in
the approaching contest. -There is
td be observed, also, in connection
with this popular movement, a kind
of spasmodic manifestation, that fre
quently presages tho dissolution of
organized bodies, accompanied with
the expiring agony of the "Tax-Payers'
Ticket." This desperate cry may
and should xcite pity, but no alarm,
for they cannot and will not disturb
the live nnd healthy functions of the
body politic. The reflections of
"Old Obediuh," together with your
cemmenta in the last issue of the
DEifocnAT, exhibits in a clear light
"The Tax-payers' Ticket," so that all
truo Democrats may see and shun
contact or affiliation with this cast-off
political excrescence.
Whilst the people are entertaining
the present anxious and deliberate so
licitude to procure honest and capa
ble men to execute official trust, it
may be that the relative importance
attached to each may not be correct
ly approciuted. It is a gratifying fact
that all the aspirants for office in
Linn county identified with the De
mocracy are distinguished for their
competency and integrity. Hence
the people are not likely to suffer for
the unfitness of their" official selec
tions so far as the county is concern
ed. But grave errors might be com
mitted .in choosing our Stato officers.
For Home of the most important
measures that have ever touched the
interests of the poople of Oregon
will likely bo in issue before our next
Legislature and subjected to some
decisive action of that body, also,
one measure at lonst is likely to claim
the attention and demand some ac
tion of our National Legislature.
I allude to tho improvement of the
Willamette river. The people of
this State have far greater interests
at stake in this project than any
other that is before tliem or likely to
be in the next century.
It is the uniform opinion of all
competent judges, that the Willom-
otto river is susceptible m improve
ment to that degree that will render
it navigable to Springfield, nearly,
or quite tho year round. But to suc
cessfully accomplish this great enter
prise it must be presented to the
people, its feasibility and ' ultimate
advantage made apparent. Thus
much obtained, provision must bo
made to prosecute the work. , A con
siderable sum of monoy will be need
ed, and the people are abundantly
ablo to provide it without involving
themselves in any pecuniary embar
rassment. But wo are entitled to
aid from tho gonoral Government,
and beliovo if the magnitude of our
interests in all its relations wore cor
rectly presentod to Congress some'
substantial assistance might bo had.
Liberal appropriations have' beon
made upon insignificant water coursos
in the Atlantic States not assessing
one tithe the commercial importance
of our Groat Willumotto. How ex
ceeding careful tho people should be
in choosing a man to represent them
at Washington. He should be a man
of acknowledged ability and estab
lished integrity, thoroughly acquaint
ed with the wants of the poople and
directly identified with tlioir interosU.
But notwithstanding the merit of
our claim upon Congress to aid us
in the improvement of the Willam
ette, we need not certainly expect
any material assistance from that
quarter. Then the question comes
up, how and from whence must wo
look for a positive assurance to raise
the requisite funds to do tho work,
Various methods on suggestion.
The preferable ono that now occurs
to the writer is for the next Legisla
ture, by and with the consent of tho
people in the sovorul river counties,
to enact a law to levy a tux on the
assessable property of these counties.
Boforo this is attempted to be dono,
many preliminary steps should bo
taken to got the matter well iu hand
with tho peoplo. The cost of tho
contemplated improvement of the
river Would probably approximate
two hundred and fifty thousand dol
larscertainly quite a large sum of
monoy, but triltiug compared with
the vast interosts that would ulti
mately ensue. If judiciously taken
and applied the people can pay it
and nover feel it. The eitixons of
Allmuy, Harrisburgand Kugenomiule
a present to Bou. Holladny of one
hundred and ton thousand dollars
for his cohrtoous condescension to
locate his railroad in their respective
cities, just where he wanted it.
Taking this instance as an indication
for the interest felt in public im
provements tliero will be no difficul
ty in raising tho money to improve
our river.'
I lielieve it Would 1 pertinent and
profitable fur the forthesming State
Convention to take aoine huutory
steps in this sulnoct, set it in motion,
give it shape and direction.
Iliis communication is prowtrtet
rather lengthy thoreforo will desist
further addition at presold, hoping
these crude tlioughta, with what
other have snid, will call forth in
vestigation that will directly load to
the consummation of tbo most im
portant enterprise that baa ever been
identified witn Oregon intvreatH
tho improvement of tho Willametto

Lebasos, March 10, 1874.
Editor Democrat :
, In your last issue is found a corres
pondence from Lebanon dated 8d,
inst, over the cognomen of "Old Obe
diah," in which ia found a deliberation
of the rise and prayers ofthe.Tax-p!iy-ers
or Independent party now agita
ting the country.
In this eorrespondence are found as
sertions which, if true, would have a
direful effect upon the movement, and
several persons have already had their
names enrolled on a -Remonstrance
setting forth tliat they were beguiled
in the matter by designing politicians
of the Republican party who were en
deavoring totrap Dcmorats and there
by use them for their own aggrandize
ment, and that Luther Elkins, D. W.
eqt. jo XuBqiy jo uoqio pu pJCsg
Oregonian persuasion" were the
prime movers in this matter having
secretly schemed this "new departure."
Rut, as I said, they were assertions.
I profess to know sufficient of the
movement to be able with proof to
deny those charge's; and will say to th
voters of Linn county that Luther El
kins, D. W. Ballard and ulhefToTAl
bany had no hand in getting up this
movement; but that those allegations,
made with out foundation, are only
electioneering, schemes, asserted and
reported to bias the minds of the com
munity 'and thwart the desires of the
laboring voters of the county, by the
office seeker and their co-workers.
Sufficient proof denouncing the
charges of "Old Obediah," will beat
hand in duo time, setting the matter
all right if required. Query; would
ask where did commence this great
movement and demand from the peo
pie? Wo would, hero answer thaU
from the great revolution in politics
by the laboring class, rising in opposi
tion to monopolies and political trick
sters, Congressional salary grabs and
ring leaders in parties, the honest tax
payers of tho middle and Western
States arose in mass, irrespective of
parties, and by their votes denounced
this oppression. California, on this
coast, followed in the wake, electing
their officials and from Ihenco Oregon
caught tho sprit of purification and
sounded tho tosin of alarm which
is first heard in noble Douglas county
afterwards in Polk,' Benton, Lane,
Wasco, Washington, Yamhill, and
iollowed by Old Linn and still the
spirit of resistance to demagogulsm
will speed on until Oregon, ou the first
Monday of June next, will place in
position, in both County and Slittc,
officials made and elected by the peo
plo. The move is one of revolution,
desired hy the peoplo, gotten up by
no party, and cannot bo claimed by
either Republicans or Democrats, be
cause of high taxes brought on by ex
travagant enactments, iu raising sal
aries, toes and porquisites, un warrant
ell by those who haye to boar tho bur
dun and are not allowed to impose.
Tho extremes qf both parlies
Democratic! and Republican will
fall in line and full tiokots will be
forthcoming, and thejr wanted gains
will bavo lo come from tho Indepen
dent voters, Mipen whom they will
work with strategy, not only in raising
false rumors, but endeavoring to en
graft dcsiipiing good resolutions, imi
tating as near as possible any and all
resolutions and wants made and de
sired by tho peoplo.

Clevelano, March 7. -The interest
in the temperanco movement is in
