AlIODEL BEFOB5IEO.
Mr. J. H. Smith, of Harrisburg, has
taken the stump in this conuty in
the interest of the Republicans, or, as
it is miscalled, tho Independent
ticket. Had Mr. Smith remained
quiet as certainly, became him, his
name would not have nppoared in
these columns during this canvass.
We recognize tho right of any pri
vate citizon to change his party re
lations without subjecting himself to
uufrWdly public criticism. But
when a man assumes to make public
speeches for tho purpose of prose
lyting others to his belief, ha be
comes a legitimate object of public
romark, and it is not only tho right,
but tho absolute duty of a journal to
discuss his claims to public confi
dence. We are reliably informod that, in
his speech at Harrisbufg on last
Saturday and at Brownsville, oa Mon
day, Mr. Smith declared that hs had
espoused the Independent causo be
cause he was convinced that the
Democratic party had become cor
rupt. He also intimated, or stated
distinctly, that ho was offered, tho
nomination for Congress by the late
Democratic State Convention, but de
clined to occopt because ho could
not consent to run on the ticket
with Govornor Grovor. Whether
Mr. Smith made his statement pub
licly or not we do not personally
know, but that ho has so stated in
private conversation on inoro than
one occasion we aro prepared to
prove. Now if Mr. Smith will name
a half d6zcn delegates, who atten
ded the State Convontibn which met
recently at Albany, who would havo
supportod him for any position on
the ticket under any consideration
ho will astonish his most intiuiato
acquaintances. . The truth is his
name was novor mentioned among
tho delegates - excopta whou ho was
referred to as a chronic aspirant for
position who was likoly to bolt, and
the general expression was "he's a
dead weight, lot him go." That Mr.
Smith sought, the nomination for
Congress is susceptible of oasy proof.
His eflorts in that direction provoked
only dorision, of which all but him-
iclf wore conscious. Mr. Smith
speaks of tho "ingratitude of the
Democratic party" and hojds himself
and others up as men whnes- worth
has been underestimated and whose
o'aims havo been slighted. The peo
ple understand this kind of demagogs
urn. Democracy is in dobt to no
man, and if thoro be any who sup
pose they can run up a bill against
tho party by adhoiing to its princi
pies, lot them be undeceived. Dem
ocracy is patriotism; it is the lovo of
personal freedom; it is honor in its
broadest souse; it is adherence to the
honored principles of oui-Jforefathors,
and attachment to tho constitution
which was born of their faith in God
and their love of liberty., Democra
cy ia freo government personified,
and it claims the iiervieo of its vota
ries in con.'idonition of i's borjodcent
return to each and all alike.
And Mr. Smith is vain enough (o
claim that tho Democratic party is in
debt to somebody. Ho cstimatos his
principles in 'dollars and cents, and
then weighs othors ill his own bal
hmco, Lot him be assured that ho
will moot his roward. His now Ito
puhlican fliitlcrors will'spurn him as
soon as ho coasos to servo theni and
ha will gravitato to his native level.
We havo rofraiuod from speaking
harshly of Mr. Smith in this article
Not becauao ho does not merit sovore
criticism; not beciuiRO ho is not vul
nerable, He is fearfully liitblo on
both counts, but wo tnthor choose
to speak of hi in in connection wilh
his pronent political summersault.
Lot him bo assured, however, that,
should occasion require it, the iiiiiinus
of his disaffection to tho Democratic
party, aud his ingratitude to honmod
men whom he is now seeking to tra
duce and injuFO, shall be spread bo
foro tho public in all 'its ugly do

FACTS FOB THE fEOr-LE. . ;
Bektoh County; May 27th, 1874.
Editor Democrat: t
Tho canvass in this county is wax
ing hotter and hotter and as it pro
gresses, Avery's Folly, sometimes
called the "Movement" and again,
by way of distinction the "Indepen
dent movement," becomes more ap
parent. ' What was at first but dimly
out-lined, now becomos palpable,
and as the aims and objects of the
"movement" becomomoro manifest,
tho rank and file who gave it respect
ability, abandon it in utter disgust.
Who organized this "movement"
in Benton county, and for what pur
pose was it organized? Let voters of
both the Bcpublican and Democratic
parties, stop and ponder on this
question before finally Committing
themselves to its support. It was
mainly and chiefly organized by Mr.
J, C, Avery as Head centre, assisted
by malcontents in each party who
havo not been trusted by eithor party
for fifteen years. The chief hadja two
fold purpose in its organization.
First The venting; of his pent-up
malice against tho Democratic party
and its candidates, and their defeat,
if possible. This programme was
conditional. If the Democratic State
Convcution had nominated a ticket
accoptible to tho Hond Centre, every
body knows the movement would
havo vanished, "like, tho basoleas
fabric of a vision." Second If, by
any possibility the movement should
eloct any part of the County tickfit,
such persons were to be installed inl
otlice, as would be tho subservient
instrumontB of tho head Centro him
self, as well as his satellites. ' The
subordinates wero to perform such
services, and to execute such orders
as might be assigned to thorn by tho
Head Centre. In other words, the
movement was to bo a personal or
ganization, wielded for the benefit
ikjid aggrandizement of four or five
men, in this County, and to gratify'
the spito and malico of one. It is
utterly without principlo, a hetero
geneous mass of discordant'disorgan
ization, thrown together by -accident,
avorico, rovongi and ambition carry
ing tho seductive motto of Reform to
deludo and docoivo those who, aro
uuacquaiutod with its interior work
ings. But tho mask is now lifted
and has been for somo time. The
Gorgon features of tho movemont
have abashed somo of its early ad
mirerers and made others disown it
altogether.
Ono peculiar protonso of the move
ment, is its pretended purity. "As
sume a virtue, n you navo it not, is
its motto? It nrraigns both of tho
old parties, as well as' individuals in
each, on tho ground of corruption.
But who composo the ' movemont?
Upon what moat doth this, Caesar
feed?'" Nearly all of its loaders in
this county, have actually appeared
at Salem during each session of tho
Legislature, for many years past, and
lobbied for various Bchcmes of ques
tionable propnoty. In every State
during the two or three decades last
past somo one individual has achiev
ed tho "bad eminence of Chief of tho
lobby," Oregon is no oxeoption.
Our " chief " residos in this county
and ho is withal " a bright and
shining light" in tho movement.

commenced a suit for divorce, but
too lato to have service by publica

personal service could not be had. In
the meantime, news of Brown's
death was received, and about as
well authenticated as the death of
any one in obscuro life. Before
leaving Grant County, in the fall of

Leijan-on-, Ogn,, May 27, 1871.
Editor Democrat :
I wish to inform the voters of Linn
county,tlirough your paper, of a lit
tle deception that is being carried on
in this vicinity and through a portion
of, the forks of the Santium by one
Barllott Curl, who says that "over"
man has his price.!' lie js traveling
Hiroiigh this vicinity buying young
horses, but puts in most of his time
in reporting Linn county thirty or
thirty-five thousand dollars iu debt,
and Democratic' officials every whore
corrupt. Last tall, while at Salem
he visited Gov. (Jrovcr and tho Peni
tentiary and reported, on his return,
that Grover was one ot tho best
Governors that the Slate had ever
had. He now abuses him for the
samo acts that ho formerly praised
him for. I now wish to show up a
little of Mr. Curl's past career. lie
was eleotod to tho Legislature from
this county on tho "Uayuse" ticket, in
1800, by promising such staunch Dem
ocrats as Rohorl Cary, ot Scio pre
oinet, Unit ho would not veto for E.
D. Baker for U. S. Senator. Well
ho did not voto for Baker, until the
last two ballots,. when "his prico" was
brought to bear., Ho was again nom
inated on tho Union Republican tick
et in 1802, for Stato Senator, and was
electod, as tho county was then large
ly Republican, and he worked and
acted with thnt party during tho ses
sion of 1802, but that Fall he quit the
Republicans, for some reason, and
eamo back into the Democratic ranks.
Ha was elected as a delegate from
Santiam prcoinct to attohd the Dem
ocratic Convention which, was held
in Albany in 1801, for the purpose of
nominating a county ticket, and while
in Albany ho was solicited by Walter
Motilicth, in behalf of the Republi
can party, to resign his seat in tho
Senate Instead of doing this ho
came to mo and other Democrats say
ing that ho stood whoro ho did when
elected but the party had left him and
asked us what ho should do. I had
not hclpud to elect him aud told him
to wait .until after election'. The
county again went Republican but
ho did not resign, In organizing the
Scnato in 1804 ho voted for Mitohcll
for President of tho Senate,' whethor
it was' from choico or "prico" ho aud
.Mitchell ourtninly know. Ho has
lived part of tho time, in Linn and
pant in Grant counties for tho last
four years, and, says ho was instru
mental in gutting up the Independent
party in Grant county, whore ha is
nowa candidate for tho Legislature.
Now why is ho hero with plenty of
money using all his energy and iutlu
enco against the Dcinocratio party,
hut will not stake his money on Linn
enmity being thirty, thousand-dollars
iu debt. It is plain to bo teen by a
of his neighbor's pood name
Thoso reflections were prompted eloao observer that he is workine in-
by reading in last Saturday's Albany dirootty tor the Miteholl-Keuublican
Jttyhtcr a communication over the
signature of William Cooper, datod
at Sweet Homo, on tho ltith inst., in
which be professes to give to the pub
lic what he ahoim concerning Dr.
Hcndrix's domestic relations, Jtr,
Cooper Bays; "In October, 1800, Mr,

Not long after I moved to Cnnybu

only necessary to give the name of
tho author.
FURTHER REMINISCENCES.
( Mr. James O'Meara, editor-in-chief
of the Portland King organ, the Bul
letin, makes our article of last week,
referring to J, C. Avery, a text for
severa columns of light reading,
mado up of perverted facts, wholo
eloth lies 'and frothy rhotoric. Mr
O'Meara rnshes to tho rescue of Mr.
Avery, which is yery natural. No
ono is surprisej to see these two
worthies working hand in hand to
destroy the Democratic party. Both
have greivancca t,1 redress. For
many years they sought to secure po;
sitions by a sham advocacy of the
principles of the Democratic party.
Iu obedience to theiaw of gravitation
they invariably sank out ef sight
when brought in competition with
men of ability and honesty of pur
pose. In its defence of Mr. Avery
the Bulletin ilcclares that "Mr, J. C.
Avery wos orfe of Delazon Smith's
strongest and most influential sup
portcrj, and so was he his trusted and
confidential friend ntitil the close of
that noted man's life; while Grover
continued, down to the last, Delazon
Smith's foe and maligner and perse
cutor!" Thcro is not a man in Oregon who
is conversant with the history of the
times to which this extract refers who
will not testify that every letter and
syllable of this is a base, willful lie.
Avery pursued Delazon Smith with
all the yttnom of his Vindictive na
ture. " Who does not remember the in
famous bargain by which the appro
priation for tho Territorial Universi
ty was squandered? Avery was one
of the chief agents in that infamy,
while Delazon Smith fought it with
all the power of his mighty eloquence.
By tho removal of tho Territorial
University to Jackson county, Avery
secured the State Capital on his town
site. Jackson county had but j'ust
been organized. The University was
located at Corvallis and a part of the
munificent appropriation mado by
Congress for its construction had al
ready been expended at that place.
Tho Territorial Capital was at Salem
and Avery traded the University to
Jackson county for influence to secure
the removal of the Capital to his town
site. The bargain was consummated;
the University went to J-ickson coun
ty where tho reminder of the appro
priation was eqtiandcfbil. The Capi
tol went to Corvallis to reaain s
brief week, when the Legislature,
then in session, removed it back to
Snlem. It was pending the considera
tion of tho bill to remove the Uni
versity to Jackson county, which, if
passed, secured the romov3l of the
Capital to Corvallis, that Delazon
Smith made tho famous speech which
no old Oregonian will ever forget.
lie arraigned Avery as the chief con
spirator iu the movement and plead
that tho University fund might bo
spared that the children' of the then
scarcely settled Territory might enjoy
its benefits. He plead in vain. Av
ery had laid his hand upon the Uni
versity fund and it had vanished. Re
ferring to this Mr. Smith said:
"One great difference between my
Democracy and that of the gentleman
from Benton is this: He grows rich
jpon his while I prow poor in the
defence of mine. lie renards no ob
ject worthy of notice unless it turns
to golfl in his grasp. X am impover
ished by advocatinz that which my-
judgement dictates to bo right."
Lot J. C. Avery and James O'Meara
koep their lips olosed in regard to
Delazon Smith. Ho held no senti
ment in common with their kind. No
mercenary motive, no selfish intrigue
ever cast its dark shadow over his
magnanimous soul. His very nature
revolted at the thought of association
with such men as O'Meara and Avery.
It' the Bulletin is capable of a sense of
shame let it cease traducing tho mem
ory of the honored dead by coupling
his name with that ot the dishonored
living.

The persistency with which the
Bulletin reiterates the infamous false
hood, of its own invention, that the
editor of this paper rejoiced over
the hanging of Mrs. Surratt, in the
Tory face of the fact that we. have
produced irrefutable proof that the
stotement is wholly and absolutely
false, has called forth another letter
ubon this subject. The writer, Hon.
J. H. Turner, is n high-minded, hon
orable and reliable gentleman and a
practicing attorney at Pendloton
Umatilla county, and was with tho
editor of this paper, on the way to
Oregon, wlien the nevfs of tho hang
ing of Mrs. Surratt reached us as
was also Geo. Humphrey, Sr., Geot
Humphrey Jr., and Dr. W. Q. Stew
art, now residents of this city.
The letter ff om Mr. Turner Bhould
have the greater weight with the pub
lic as he is not supporting tho Demo
cratic ticket, but is an ardent cham
pion of the Independent movement.
We herewith submit the letter to
the careful perusal of a candid pub
lic, and ask them to judge whether
a journal which would fulminate such
a base fie as this of the Bulletin, in
regard to oiirself, is entitled to credit
in any statement affecting ike char
acter or antecedents of any one.
Pendleton, Ogn., May 18thl874.
M. V. Brown, Esq:
Deab Sir:- I see a statement in the
Bulletin of the 10th instant, in which
you are charged with having been a
Loyal Leaguer, Ac, and having re
joiced in Iowa, at the hanging of
Mrs. Surratt.
Surely, the maitthat makes a state
ment of this kind must be lost to ev-'
ery sense of truth or-virtue must
ever regard it ns a disgrace to tell
the truth. On the 3d day of July,
1805, you and I, in company with
our families, and many others, cross
ed tne ooutn "latte, in our "prairie
schooners," on our way to this coun
try. From the 4th to the 10th, we
were on the Cache La Poudre River,
we lay over on tne 4th and nad a
kind of one horse celebration, fish
ing, &c. The news of the hangini
of Mrs. Surratt did not reach us till
about the 10th of August. I was
traveling with you at tho time and
know that you wore not in the Stato
of Iowa, I know furthermore, that
you wore not a Loyal Leaguer.
There was not to exceed two or three
Republicans in the train one a gen
tleman by tho name of Dawson, and
the others I do not recollect. Nei
ther did you rejoice over the liangin"
of Mrs. Surratt, but, like every one
in the train most heartily condemned

" lETTER FHOSI DR. DAWNB.
Salem. Oreson, May 23, 1874.
The Orenanian has
a corespondent who sails under 1 the
name oi "jimouuiw.
too cowardly to attack a man m his
own name, has een proper to make
various misrepresentations about me.
"Timbnctoo" claims' to hail from Al
bany, though I am Wormed, that he
J' . , - A ert Li,1oa lint.h
lives olsewucre, , x;
his name and place of residence. IS o
wonder, for certainly no sane man
would attach his name to a bundle of
such unmitigated falsehoods. I write
this explanation, not for thoso who
know me personally, but for those
with whom I am not intimately ac
quainted. Dr. Geary and Hon J.
Ouinn Thornton have pronounced
"Timbuctoo" a liar, so far as his
charges concerning a sermon 1
preached in Dr. Geary's church and
my o.-thography are concerned.
Surely tho testimony of Dr. Geary
and Mr. Thornton is worth more
than "Timbuctoo's."
Again, he Charged that my weu
cal lectures were borrowed copies
from Hammond. Dr. A. P. Millef ,
who was a member of the class and
graduated at the close of the term,,
in a letter published irl the State
Riohts JJEeocrat, pronounces .iuio u
lie. These lectures are in manu
script and can be examined at any
time; nnd I affirm that they Were not
copies from Hammond or any one
else. Of course, I am not foolish
enoucrh to claim cbsohtte originality.
Nobodv but an inflated gassomoter
like "Timbuctoo," would do mat.
He i3 pre-eminently original in mis
representation and lying.
If my lectures were borrowed, is it
not strange that the Faculty never
found it out? is it true mat mat,
Faculty could be imposed upon for a
whole term? Surely this would be
saying very little for their ability as
medical men.
"Timbuctoo" says they p jposed to
promote me to a more important

OF NEW t
THE COUNTY CANVAS'S.
Tho candidates on tho respective
county tickets close their canvass of
tho county in this city on to-morrow.
Thus far the canvass has been an un
interrupted triumphal march for the
Democracy. Tho indications are
that at least 300 majority will be giv
en for the Stato ticket, and the coun
ty ticket will not be far behind. Let
every true Democrat do his duty from
this until tho polls close on eloction
day, and a glorious victory will be
achiovod.
Fnir.sDLV Notice. The reporter for
the Walla Walla Utatennan who was
proscut when the candidates for
Stato offices spoko'at Weston, Uma
tilla county, mado the following
(complimentary notice of the editor
of this paper: t
Your reporter had the the pleas
ure of clasping hands with Mart.
Brown, Democratic candidate for
Stato Printer, who was present in a
dual capacity; electioneering, and
watching out for the interests jf the
State Rkiuts Democrat, and from all
nmicaiuncos succeeded admirably.
Mart, iu adilition to being a practical
printer, is a warm-hearted, jovial fel
low, and if elected Stato Printer
wilt mako an efficient officer.
Tho Bulktia is mntio in its efforts
tojclect Tolman and secure the re
moval of W. H. Watkinds. The
editor dislikes tho prospect of com
ing under Bill's wholesome discip
line.
Voters of Oregon, if you wish to
give Ben Hollad.ty a bill of sale of
your State, voto for Tolman.
Goo. D. Collin, accused of the
crime of incest at Woodburn a few
dayssiucehad his trial at that place
last Saturday. After hearing all the
testimony in the case, Justice Smith,
before whom tlic trial was had, held
him to answer in .the sum of $.1,000
for the crime of rape. Not being
able to furnish tho required bonds he
was taken back to Salem and lodged
in the County Jail.
Messrs. Thompson and Le Grentz,
miners at Coquille, have invented a
machine for beach mining. They
oluim tor their new machine the merit
0 1 being able to save ninety per cent
of the gold visible in the black sand.
They have alto satisfied themselves
by their now method of boiling the
sand they oan catch all tho invisible
gold, and, what is better save all the
quicksilver.
Amity fumes over a late sensation.
Ono of hor citizens eloped with his
niece to the teaming surf and sound
ing billows at YaquiDa, for. the pur
pose ot joining hands in marriage.
the law was too strict. Disappoint
edly they returned home. Tho dogs
of war are howling, and the popu
lace clamor for the uufortunale lover's
scalp.
Corvallis fidgets over a smoulder
ing shameful sensation. The vile
wretch who attempted to take liber
ties with a little child eoven years ot
aj;e, was detected bv a hurV and
driven oft. The child's father amused
himself during the remainder of the
day by making a foot-ball out of the
degraded villian.
It is said that at the Spencer Inde
pendent precinct meeting on Thurs
day, near Eugene City, there were thir
teen candidates and one man who
was not a candidate present. They
mado halt hour speeches to him; at
the close of the sixth hour he was a
raving m.iniao.
The
In, I
man, tried last week at
alia Walla for the murder of Jas.
Coriglo, a Scotchman, near that place
4ast fall, was convicted of murder in
the first degree, and Saturday last
tvas set for the sentence, which, nder
the law, could only be that of death.
A man by the name of Jesse Cary
living at Port Orford, met with a se
vere accident last week. He v,-as
felling a tree, and in the decent it
caught him, crushing his leg in a hor
rible manner.
Vote for the man wlw fur twentv
three years has stood 'firm in the
Democratic faith. That maa is L.

Read our HI r.JZTT MP Com-
' vj uts, r"""" addressed tl
chair Theory and Practice which
is true. Certainly this was on ac-
counO! my aniury iu uu n, iui ,u ,
not to be supposed that the Faculty
were actuated by any other motive'.
Dr. A. P. Miller says my lectures
"were inferior to none delivered dur
ing the course," and that "the class
often said they would be glad to have
more lectures from me and fewer
from others, speaking disparagingly
of none."
Now, is it rjossiMe that I eould do
this without a medisal education ? If
so, 1 am certainly a rare individual
or medical schools are a humbug.-
do -not claim an illustrious ancestry
no king s blood runs through my
veins mine was an humble origin
I belong to the family of Adam, that
is all, and I freely admit that 1 was
created the inferior ot many m in
tellectual capacity.
"Timbuctoo" admits thnt I am in
ferior in mental capacity. How, then,
did I acquire my knowledge of med
ical science? I will tell you; for
well now I remember tho years spent
in the acquisition .of this knowledge:
I was a student for two years in
in the otlice of Dr. Stephen Cook,
when I attended a course of lectures
at Richmond, Virginia, at the close
of which I entered the army, whero
I remained until the surrender of
Lee's armv. In 1800 I attended a
course of lectures in the Medical
School of Louisiana, lackinsr five
weeks. I was culled away on ac
count of the sickness of my wife,
which proved fatal, thus preventing
my return, and, of cotirso, my grad
uation. Tho degree of M. D. was
soon after conferred on me by tho
Oglethorpe University. Wheii the
question arose about my diploma, I
sent io.-it, and received 'on the 21at
the receipts from the express office,
showing that it was started on the 7th
nit. I handed thiB roceipt to Col. Wm.
Thompson, of the Mercury, and he
mentioned the fact in the daily of
the atld. .
I received the degree of A. M. at
Mountain Home Vnivorsity. The
Trustees considered me worthy, and
they were the proper persons to de
cide. Now, I have furnished a plain state
ment of all the facts. In Oregon I
expected to live and die, trusting to
prove niyselt worthy a place among
the living and the dead.
Now let Jhis scoundrel cease to
disgrace the dark name of "Timbuc
too" by letting it longer stand as ijis
representative, and assign his own
name, which he bus kp,,i. nnn,ninj
because be knew it would be the refu
tation ot all he might say.
