Elsewhere we publish the official
proclamation ol His Excellency, the
, Governor, calling the special Con
gressional election for October 25th.
We don't think a better or more con
venient time in the year could have
been selected. By that date harvest
will be over, the grain marketed or
stored- and the farmers afforded an
opportunity to exercise the right of
suffrage without neglecting their
. most important affairs.'
As yet no steps have been taken
by either of the political parties for
a crystalization of their forces or the
nomination of a candidate; but all
this will come about in good time.
There can be no successful denial
of the fact that the voting population
of Oregon is to-day, as it has been
for years, Democratic in sentiment
by a good round majority; and, with
the growing strength of the Demo
cratic party throughout the whole
country, every chango of the moon
between now and the October elec
tion ought to augment our party
strength and render our success
more certain. This result will be
inevitable with the exercise of a rea
son able degree of caution and judg
ment in our nominating convention
and throughout the campaign. The
local questions, which too often di
vide and distract our party in a State
and county campaign,, cannot figure
in such a contest as is now before us.
The fight will T)e made mainly on
nntional issues, and, so far as the
Democracy are concerned, we doubt
not on a platform embodying those
grand old principles which ore the
foundniinn n1 aT cuj.
Republican form of Government.
That platform must uphold the
constitution of the ' fathers ; must
defend the ' rights of the Slufoe
and the . liberties, of , the people
against Presidential interference and
bayonet intimidation; must denounce
the Civil Rights Bill and all otter
Radical villainies having for their ob
ject the enforcement of social equal
ity among the black and white races;
must condemn Congressional law
lesfmens and official corruptions;
must give Grant a vigorous kick on
his third-term bump, and demand
that he shall keep his hands off Of
Louisiana and other sovereign States
of this American Confederation ;
must favor the old Democratic doc
trine of opposition to high protective
... tariffs which increase the burdens of
the poor man for the enrichment of
the capitalist and have doprossed our
coinmorce and almost destroyed ship
. building in the land. Of course
many other things may be uttered in
the platform, but those are to our
mind some of the essential elements
of a Democratic declaration of prin
ciples and policies, and they ought
to be enunoutted as often as we have
the opportunity oflerod by an Au
thorized assemblage of the party's
representatives. ' " : f, '",
But platform . ia uotliiug iu a
campaign without a candidate to
stand up for it and champion ' and
defend its utterances with ability,
, consistency and honor. , pf course
no difference what sort of a platform
we may make, the Kadicul papers
will assail it and the Iladical candi
date may be expected to tare around

DEATH OV KX-VICB PRKHIDKNT JOHJf
L. OHKiaHnHIIIMK.
The telograpb brings the sad intol
ligence of the death of Hon. Jno. C.
Breckenridge, at his home in Lex
ington, Kentucky, last Monday. It
seems that he has been in poor health
for some time, and on Wednesday of
lost week his physicians Dr. Hayes
of Philadelphia and Dr. Sayres of
New .' Tork performod a difficult
surgical operation which it was hoped
would afford hiin at least temporary
relief; but the hope was vain, and he
gradually sank away until death re
lieved him from all pain. .His phy
sioians attribute his illness to a blow
received from a fragment of a shell
during the war.
John C. Breckenridge was born
near Lexington, Kentucky, January
16th, 1821, and was consequently 64
years old last January. Ho was ed
ucated at Center College, Kentucky;
spent a few months at Princeton Col
lege also; studied law at the Tran
sylvania Institute, and was admitted
to the bar, in his native town,' Lox
ington. He emigrated to Burling
ton, Iowa, wherOj however he only
resided for a short time, returning to
Lexington, whero he has since re
sided and practiced law with eminent
success when not absent in the pub
lic service. He served as Major of
Infantry in the War with Mexico,
and while in that country distin
guished himself as the counsel of
Major General Pillow during the fa
mous court-martial. On his return
from Mexico he was elected to the
Kentucky Legislature, and was a
Representative in Congress from the
Ashland district from 1851 to 1855.
During bis Administration, although
Mr. Breckenridge was only 32 years
old, President Fierce tendered him
the highly important and responsible
mission to Spain, but family affairs
compelled him to decline the honor.
He was elected Vice President of the
United States in 185C, on the ticket
with James Buchanan, and cutored
upon the discharge of the duties of
his office in March, 1875, as Presi
dent of the United States Senate
Immediately after his term as Vico
President expired the Democracy
of his native State elected him to
the United States Senate where he
took bis seat in 1851 as the successor
of the vecerable Kentucky Nestor,
John J. Crittenden, In 1800 he was
nominated by the Democratic party
as candidato for PresidentGen,
Joseph Lane of this State being as
Bociuted with him on the ticket as a
candidate, for Vina Prid?i:t bat
owing to the unfortunate division in
the party, was defeated and Lincoln
chosen. Owing to his devotion to
and open championship of Secession
he was expelled from his seat in the
U. S... Senate on the 4th of Decem
ber, 18G1, and casting his fortunes
with his native South, be immediate
ly joined the Confederate cause and
served throughout the War as a brave,
valorous and distinguished General.
Since the War he has remained at
his old home, practicing law when
his health would ponnit and trying
to build up for his older days a por
tion of that competence which was
swept away by tho tide and fortunes
of war.
Mr. Breckonridgo is one ot the
few prominent spirits in the later
history of our oountry whose publio
conduct has nevor doviated from the
strict rulo of consistency. Ho may
have erred in some things and who
that is human liasnot? But when the
weeds of mourning and clouds of
desolation of the late war shall have
been forever swallowed up by a true
spirit of oonoiliatiou and couoord
which is' surely dawning upon our
common country, theu will the life
and character of the brave and man
ly Breckeuridgo bo pointed to as a
model for ambitious and aspiring
youth, and his history be accorded a
bright pngo on tho scroll of honora
ble fame.., ; ..
, A noble statesman, a brilliant ora
tor, a brave soldier ami a puro man
has gone to his last sleep, and as
sorrowing fiieud lay him to rest in
the green valloy uf his "Old Ken
tucky Home," beside tho graves t-f
his ancestors, u common pooplo of
one common country should for one
little- day forget sectional strife and
join together ill a fervent "iwmiVs-
CtSl tli JHKt." . .
Akd now the nows comes that tho
Kadicul officials at Washington city
have sent word to their satraps in
Oregon to nominate a Grander for
Congress. We will hot a barrel of
bjlogna sausage that the Itopubli
cans can't snipe any Graugor of
aouke to accept the nomination on
that lay-out. Poor Hiram Smith and
Judge Tohnan were laid out that
way, and they can t ostch auothor
victim with that sort of chaff.

I THE IMPORTANCE OP HOME MANC-
fACTOnlES.
Wo have frequently urged upon
our citizens the benefit as well as the
necessity of building up, patronizing
and fostering home industries and lo
cal manufacturing enterprises. There
is no doubt of the fact that Oregon
has the best natural resources for
such enterprise of any region on the
globe. Hero we have, besides the
precious metals, coal, lead iron and
timber to an unexplored and un
known extent, and almost natural
water powers unlimited. Our State
is fast filling up with a class of la
borers and mechanics whose very
numbers must reduce labor to a
scope and figure commensurate with
the most limited means and resources
of persons desiring to engage in
Manufacturing enterprises.
But the only way to indce the es
tablishment of now enterprises is to
encourage, foster and strengthen
tnoso already inaugurated in our
midst. Among the more important
manufactories of Oregon are woolen
mills, of which those at Oregon City,
at Salem, and at Brownsville in this
county aro established enterprises,
and, if properly patronized, must con
tinue to bo among the most import
ant auxilliaries to our State's posperi
ty. The recent history of tho one at
Brownsville fully illustrates the im
portance of local encouragement to
render these institutions successful.
Two years ago three practical opera
tives, entirely destitute of means,
took charge of these mills, the citi
zens of Brownsville advancing suffi
cient capital for purchase of wool
and taking as security a lien on the
goods manufactured; and the result
was that the business was so success
ful as to induce leading citizens and
capitalists of that place to purchase
these mills, organize a joint stock
company, materially increase the cap
ital of the concern and prepare to enter
into the business on a greatly enlarged
plan. The names of the incorporators
need only be given to impress our citi
zen swith the stability and magnitude
of the enterprise in which they are en
gaged. They are Messrs. J. M Moy
er, Wm. Cochran, H. L. Brown, O-l
P. Coshow, H. Powell, D. Dalgleish,
F. P. Croft, T. Kay oud Hugh Din
widdie. This institution will uso only Ore
gon wool and employ only white la
bor two distinguishing and com
mendable features in a home manu
facturing enterprise, and should
commend it to the special favor of
0 firs pltMMMu to learn
that two or three of our Albany mer
chants are very sensibly selling
Brownsville woolen goods exclusive
ly, and it is exported that others will
enter into tho same line of trade at
an early day. This is as it should
be and is a flatteaing indication of
the good sense and publio spirit
which animates our business men.

A telegram from Lexington Ken

Breckenridge took place day before
yesterday, and was attended by an
immense throng of people anxious to
pay tho last sad honors to the mem
ory of a great and good man. The

ernor Leslie, wore present in a body,
also Senators Stevenson and Mc
Creory and many other distinguished
persons. The funeral was conducted
by the Knights Templar, of which
Order Gen. Breckenridge was an
exemplary member. No such out
pouring of people has been witnessed

what is more gratifying, no distinc

HeKKNZISS AND BABBISBUBO CAKAL.
Harbisburo, May 17th, 1875.
Editor Democrat:
The more we consider .the pecu
liarities of Oregon, the more firmly
are we convinced of the superlative
advantages that begin to unfold
themselves and must eventuate some
where in the future in a grand exhi
bition of physical energy and beauty
distinguishing the people of the
Willamette Valley as tho most pro
gressive, independent and happy on
the Western continent. We have
all the primary and essential condi
tions, when quickened by the trans
forming touch of practical science, to
warrant these conclusions. There
is a fixed law ia nature that every
given result must undergo a season
of preparation before reaching the
acme of the design oftentimes ap
parently encountering, but in the
end proves to have been necessary
agencies in the development of the
design, We are led to these reflec
tions by noticing tho feeble and ap
parently pointless opposition to the
McKenzie and Harrisburg Canal.
Our people, being conssious of the
unrivalled resources of the Upper
Willamette Valley and surrounding
region and the bright future that
beckons them to action, determined
to open a canal from Spores' Ferry
on the McKenzie river to Harrisburg
on the Willamette, expecting the aid
and cooperation of the people in this
vioinity, and especially along the line
of the canal, but to our surprise no
sooner was the enterprise inaugurated
than B. B. Cochran appeared in a
public communication, without hope
of fee or reward, as the volunteer cham
pion of an imaginary canal from Mc
Kenzie to Albany, savagely criticizing
the acts and motives of the people of
Harrisburg, alleging that they had
neither the ability or intention to
build the canal. Through the same
medium, though we trust with a dif
ferent and better spirit, we repelled
the Boft impeachment by a single
statement of facts, believing he was
laboring under an innocent delusion,
thinking so soon as he should dis
cover his mistake he would withdraw
the charge, but much to bur aston
ishment and regret he confronts us
again with a rehash of his old dish
with some extra spice stirred into tho
reviling compound. Now, wo do not
propose to notice his last effort with
the view of meeting any argument or
reason, for it has neither. It is point
less, ridiculous and silly. But refer
to it in part for the purpose of im
parting to our esteemed friend some
useful information that ho stands
wofully in need of, and must have
before he can ise to a correct and
intelligent investigation of the canal
question. In part to apprise the
people interested of some important
facts connected with the subject.
Mr. C. in his lost, starts out by
supposing us a venal tool in tho
"canine" paws of the people of Har
risburg to suppress all "oppisition to
the Harrisburg canal and its special
interests." We have only to say
what we did in that respect was free
and voluntary, without aid or solici
tation from any person living. For
tho act we disclaim any merit or cen
sure from friend or foe. In this con
nection he proudly testifies to the
vital importance of the enterprise,
then with graceless deliberation reit
erates his baseless assertion that our
lotter indicates that the people of
Harrisburg don t want the canal
built by any company. If there is a
word in the entire letter that will
bear that interpretation, our language
has betrayed us. Every sentiment of
our oonvictions rise up in revolt
against it, and thus it is with the en
tire people of Harrisburg. It is with
decided reluctance that we give to
tho publio the cause that prompts
him to supposo we mean to do noth
ing. Iu his first letter he indicated
that the leveling we did was the
actual surveyed line of the canal,
and procoodod to coiumont upon the
injudicious section of the line. Be
lieving it to be a strategic sally to
conceal some of the ugly outlines of
his position, and Laving no desire
to expose his ignorance or doception,
we simply stated that the leveling ac
complished everything intended,
that the route is foasible. In his
last, he assumes the same position
and invests it with such significance
that it is certain that he believes that
the line of levels is the actual sur
veyed line of the canal.' This scorns
so unreasonable when applied to a
man of his prominence, experience
and mental calibre, we -dare not as
sume the responsibility of its truth
without the corroboration of his own
language. Hoar him, "But I said
this much to show your readears that
the Harrisburg Company did not
mean anything whon they done this
leveling, for they started within threo
rods of the head of the mill slough
and thoir attention was called to that
fact, aud tbey refusod to pay any at
tention to it and continued to run
down the bank of tho slough. When
they came to the mill their attention
was called again to the easiest route
for a canal, but this route looked
towards Albany and they refused to
pay any attention to it, so they took
the road that leads to Harrisburg. It I
mado no difference to them as to the
cost for they never expected to do
any more at the canal anyway." It
is the more incredible that any sen
sible wan would rejard the lino of
our preliminary survey as the veri
table line of the canal when the
truth declares that the entire line of
levels from one end to the other fol
towed the center of the county road.
Hod he known that our line of level
ing had nothing to do with the line
of the canal, but was intended to
answer no other purpose than estab
lish the difference in attitude of the
two extremes of the line, it would
have saved him a great deal of worry
and much irrelevant, superfluous
reasoning. He seems to be totally
blind to another important fact, that
the overwhelming advantages that he
attaches to the Brumley route can be
as readily applied to the Harrisburg
line as to the Albany, and we hereby
assure him and oil others whom it
may concern, that if upon a reliable
examination it is found to possess
the advantages claimed for it, it will
undoubtedly be the line of the Mc
Kenzie and Harrisburg Canal. . And
it is fervently hoped that henceforth
our old friend will properly under
stand that preliminary survey,.
Once more he makes another vain
call upon the people of Albany to
investigate his route for a canal to
their city, making statements thereon
that fall to the ground the moment
they come in contact with the touch
of truth. After all the intense in
terest and confidence ho seems to
feel in his pet project, in the throes
of his anxiety he divulges the fact
that he has no reason to supposo
that Albany will build one foot of his
visionary canal or that they want it
all. For with a fondling, beseeching
strain he asks "the most enterprising
people in the most enterprising
town in the Willamette Yalley if
they want his water or the business
it will make." They will tell him
'no" and for these reasons in part:
The Santiam Water Ditch Company,
with a capital stock of $30,000 have
completed a canal that furnishes
15,000 feet' of water per minute at
an expense of $55,000 or $00,000, in
curring a debt of $25,000 or $30,000.
They have sold about 5,000 feet of
water which supplies the present de
mand. No doubt the whole of their
water in time will be in demand but
an amount through the same ditch
can be furnished, limited only by
the Santiam. river. ' Some months
ago they threw upon the market
$30,000 of additional stock, no part
of which has been taken. Thev
have surrounded the business part of
Albany with their canal and branches
and the $o0,000 Btock already taken
ahanrlw 11 o! the capital of tho place
for that kind of investment. Now
if the Santiam Company cannot sell
$30,000 of stock or any part of it in
completed and successful enter
prise, how and when, we ask Mr. C.
and his friends, do you expect to sell
$250,000 of additional stock (the cost
of your canal) in an untried, unde
veloped enterprise of the same char
acter in tho same market and in di
rect competition with the Santiam
Company in the matter of water
power. ( I he vita point of the San
tiam Company.) Further, when ac
cess to the eity of Albany is almost
entirely cut off. There is no hope of
making an amicable arrangement
with them, for their very existence
depends upon keeping you out. On
the contrary you will find all the in
fluence of that company arrayed
against you. Your canal will not
cost less than $250,000, an enterprise,
considering the business, and the
circumstances surrounding it, renders
it impracticable. As an investment
it won't pay, and no wide awake bus
iness man will touch it.
. Our esteeemed friend has labored
much to prove the people of Harris
burg have done nothing nor never
intend to do anything in the direc
tion of the McKenzie and Harrisburg
Canal. To show the tine value of
his statements we assure the publio
that considerably over one hundred
shares have been taken in the city dt
Harrisburg in the canal, and several
of our most wealthy and weighty cit
izens have done but little as yet, but
will invest largely in the enterprise.
For the present the argument is
closed and we submit the case to the
jury. j. F. Hnmtrz.

tho grain-growing States of Europe aro re
ported favorable and abundant harvests
are anticipated. Prices are now at the low
est point, and it would bo unreasonable to
expect any serious decline. With a short
crop in California wo may expect lower
rates of freights to Europe and a corres
ponding advance in wheat here to oompen-
Thla will perhaps hold wheat up to
the present rates, oven it there should be a
small decline in Liverpool.
The wool market soems to promise a lit
tle better than last year, though the ad
vance in rates of freight may swallow up
the margin in Eastern prices. We quote
