The New Y ork Sun of July 13, In speak
ing of the com ing election in Ohio, says:
“ If the abuse oi patronage, the em ploy
m ent of m oney, effective organization,
and desperate effort were sufficient in
themselves to carry Ohio for the Republi
cans, they m ight count upon a certain
victory in October. They w ill have all
these advantages, and superadded to them
the material aid which comes from an
open support of their ticket by the A dm in
istration.
“ The President has become reconciled
to the resolution of the Republican Con
vention, which m ildly com m en ded‘ the
observance o f^ V ashing ton's exam ple in
retiring at the close of a second Presiden
tial term ,’ and In the same breath declar
ed Grant, ‘ entitled to the gratitude of his
countrym en’ as a ‘ capable and Judicious
statesm an!’ Whatever degree of b. tterness
m ay exist in the one was well sugared in
the other, so that no bad taste was left in
the mouth of our Long Branch President.
Besides this, not a deprecatory word was
uttered In regard to the third term. Grant
has been assured, too, by Delano and oth
er Christian statesmen who run the ma
chine in Ohio, that the resolution which
most concerned him was only intended to
relieve the party of a vexatious issue got
ten up by their opponents, and was in fact
b u t‘ agood enough Morgan until after the
elections.’
“ The explanations being satisfactory, a
general order was issued for the office hol
ders to fall into line, and the Repulican
Executive Committee at Washington sent
out their circulars through Postmaster
Edmunds, telling them p la in ly ,‘ W e hope
you may be willing to send to the com
mittee (20) twenty dollars, to be at their
disposal by the 14tli day of the com ing
(July) m onth.’ Of course, this demand
will be obeyed, although It is in the teeth
of an executive order made by the Presi
dent, and a similar declaration to Con
gress in a formal message. The contra-
*Hction will not affect the forced assess
ment in the least, and a large sum of m on
ey will be raised, some of which will stick
to patriotic hands in Washington on the
way to Ohio, that made it a business to
take a share of all such contributions.
The Administration, therefore, assumes
the responsibility of the campaign in Ohio,
which is to a great extent to be directed
from the capital by a resident com m ittee
of five officeholders, with B. R. Cowen,
Assistant secretary to Delano and confed
erate of the Indian Ring, to give moral
■weight to the operations.
“ The plain and the real question then
before the people o f Ohio, which over-sha-
iows all others, is shall Grantism, with
ts enormities, corruption, extravagance,
obberies, demoralizing effects and des
tructive tendencies, be approved and sus-
,ained, or be rejected and condem ned?
The Republicans have declared the ad
ministration of Qen. Grant to be a ‘ distin
guished success.’ They have invited a
•ontest on that issue, and they are likely
o be accommodated to the fullest extent
before next October.
“ While their platform is thus bold, lhe
party leaders and organs are already
shrinking from their own act, and secret
ly organizing Know N othing lodges of the
old pattern,in the hope of diverting atten
tion from the subjects which concern eve
ry m an’s fireside, and raising a false issue
on the basis of sectarian prejudice. In
fact, it is now manifest from the manner
in which this Ohio resolution has been
repeated in otherstates, w ithoutapretext
to justify it, that there is a concerted
m ovem ent to transform what is left of the
Republican party into a proscriptive
Know Nothing organization.
“ Outside of Ohio, more than inside the
State, an outcry lias been raised in regard
to the currency plank of the Democratic
platform, which differs from the Republi
can in being outspoken and m anly, while
the other is sneaking ¡ind mean. Both are
equally b id in this respect, and they rep
resent a division of opinion which is only
too prevalent through the South and
West. This is the natural result of the
wretched financial policy of the Republi
cans for (lie last nine years, during which
time they tinkered with the currency in
such a wtiy as to make the problem of re
suming specie payments slow and difficult
even under the most favoring circum
stances.
“ The Republican leaders in Ohio are
more responsible than any others, for the
present condition of the public finances.
Mr, Sherman as chairman of thatcom m it-
tee, and guiding the majority of the Sen
ate, represented the system of which Jay
Cooke & Co., and that class of speculators,
were the authors. It was but an imitation
of John Law’s scheme one hundred and
s i't y years ago, and inet with the same
fate as his bubble did, which spread ruin
am ong tens of thousands of victims.
“ The platform of the Ohio Democracy Is
bad in this respect, but it binds nobody
and does not com m it the party at large to
its folly. W iien a national convention
meets next year, it will be time enough to
consider that question and pronounce up
on it with authority. Meanwhile, the
practical issues which com e home to eve
ry voter, have got to be discussed and de
termined. No clam or and no false pre
tences can keep them down.
“ The artifices now em ployed to evade
this responsibility shall not be allowed to
succeed. The country is suffering as it nev
er has done before. Commerce, manufac
tures, trade, industry, enterprise, are ail
paralized. The causes of this m ighty re
vulsion are distinctly traceable to the m is
rule and venality of the Republican party,
which has had absolute control o f the
whole Governmen t since 1861. W hile m il
lions of the public revenues are stolen eve
ry year by the com plicity of officials sworn
to guard them, and dishonesty is the rule
throughout the public service, the people
are not on ly ground down to support this
rascality, but they are im poverished by
the system which at the same time swells

the volume of taxation. Real estate,
! among the last to suffer in times of fluc-
j tnation, is not spared in the sweeping de
preciation.
“ Thieves in office and great Rings swar-
\ m ing about the W hite House and the de-
; partrnents, and ruling in the public conn-
i cils, alone grow rich and powerful In the
midst of general suffering. These facts are
visible to every eye, and what Ohio has
nowr to decide is, whether a party and an
Adm inistration that are answerable for
them shall receive the popular» sanction,
or whether the country shall have a
change. Platforms are of sm all accoun t in
the presence o f such a crisis. If the curren
cy plank is wrong, it has no value besides
the m om entous matters which appeal to
m illions of unemployed laboring men,
mechanics, and farmers, to their ill-fed
wives and children and their em pty pock
ets. The first duty of Ohio is to repudiate
Grantism, to lead the way for reform, to
make sure of an honest and capable Presi
dent, and then to prepare for the respon
sibilities which justly attend success.”

The San Francisco Exam iner speaking
of the relation between the Democratic
party and our foreign population, says
that the party has been since its founda
tion as a distinct political organization
by Thomas Jcflerson, the firm and un
flinching friend o f the foreigner who has
cast his lot upon Am erican soil. History
proves this.
To the Democracy are the foreigners re
siding here indebted prim arily for the
elective franchise which they enjoy on
such easy-term*. In 1798, when the coun.
try was governed by the anti-Democratic
party, w hich had the Executive and both
Houses o f Congress, was repealed the nat
uralization law’ which had been enacted
under W ashington’s
Adm inistration,
which set the lim itation of preparatory
residence for aliens at five years, made a
fourteen years’ habitancy a pre-quisite to
the conferment of citzenship. To a large
class o f Immigrants this was equivalent to
a total prohibition, their age rendering
im probable their surviving that term,—
The party then in power also authorized
the President to order to leave the coun
try any foreigner whose presence within
its confines he may deem prejudicial to
the public welfare.
To cap the climax of this proscriptive
legislation, it was enacted that if any per
son in the press or in a popular assem b
lage, criticised or censured the course of
the Adm inistration or the personal char
acters o f its member*, severe penalties of
fine and im prisonm ent would be inflicted
upon the culprits who should be prosecut
ed before the Federal tribunals.
This last mentioned act was what was
known as the Sedition law, and it was by
no means a mete brutem fulm en, but on
tiie contrary, a very rigorously enforced
statute. Tn every part of the land prose
cutions were instituted to carry out its
provisions. In the State of Vermont there
■was a Democratic paper conducted by a
gentleman o f Irish birth, Matthew Lyon,
who was apprehended under this law,
convicted and fined one thousand dollars
and imprisoned until the fine was paid.
Years after a Democratic Congress refund
ed the am ount to Mr. Lyon.
The attitude of the Democratic party to
wards foreigners has been uniform and
consistent since at the beginning of this
century, it came into power. The very
first act o f Tilomas Jefferson’s Adm inis
tration was to repeal the odious Naturali
zation A ct of the opposition and to re
store the short term o f five years’ resi
dence. In course of ti.me the immigra
tion increased to very large proportions,
so much as to alarm the am ¡-Democrats,
whosá hope of ascendancy was rendered
smaller as the immigrants increased nu
merically. The opponents of Democracy
under their various successive party
names, om itted no opportunity of presen
ting the evil effects certain to flow from
tiie liberal laws of naturalization. In
1844 a Native American party was organ
ized in New Y oik and Philadelphia sim
ultaneously. Its m otive was to restrict
the elective franchise tr Americans, or
foreigners resident in the country twenty-
one consecutive years. It was at once suc
cessful in both the cities named. All the
elements of opposition to the Democracy
united under the standard of the new or
ganization.
Alone tiie Democratic party maintain
ed a solid front against the proscription-
ists and prevented them from extending
over the entire land. In 1853 and 1854 near
ly all the old opponents of Democracy
com bined to revive this pioscriptive par
ty and formed the political society com
monly called Know-Nothings. The ob
jects of this éphernereal association are
too well known to need elucidation here.
Its essential element was the overthrow
and destruction of foreign influence in the
United States. For a while it spread fu
riously throughout the country, and in
tiie North and W est obtained m any local
victories; but it met its quie.us at the
hands o f the Democratic party, its only
opponent.
But for tiie sturdy. opposition and in
creasing activity o f the Democracy this
Know Nothing party would have achiev
ed a national triumph, and then encom
passed a total repeal o f the naturalization
laws, thus carrying into effect their
watchword: “ Americans shall rule Am er
ica.” If successful, the foreigner of to-day
would be deigned the privilege of voting
and holding office, and thus the country
would have been deprived Of one of the
greatest sources o f its prosperity through
the consequent discouragement o f im m i
gration.
The present Radical party is the lineal
successor of the native Americans and
Know Nothings. Y et this fact lias not re
pelled from their support a considerable
number o f the foreign born population.—
The Germans especially have not seemed
to attach due weight to the historical
facts which connected the Radical organi
zation with tiie proscriptive parties o f
the past; yet even the Germans aré be
ginning to see more generally how intol
erant and antagonistic to them and other
foreigners is the Radical party.

OUR NEW
TELEGRAPH.
The Walla Walla Union says, during the
week Mr. Platt Burr, the telegraph builder,
lias been in our city, just up from Portland.
While below Mr. Burr chartered the 0 . ¡8.
N. Company’s line from here to Portland
for through dispatches, and after connecting
ii with the line already reaching from Win-
nemucca.to ¡Silver City, will have a continu
ous line from Winntmucca to Portland, with
connections at ¡Silver, Boise, Baker, Union,
La Grande, and probably Pendleton and
Weston, Walla Walla, Wallula, The Dalles
and Cascades. It is also probable that it
will not be long after the completion o f this
new line before there will be branches set
out on either side to such towns as are situ
ated off the route of the line. Throughout
its entire length this line passes through,
and near a succession of the finest valleys for
agricultural and stock raising purposes that
are to be found on this coast or continent,
besides it passes through and near a succes-
inn of the best mining camps on the north
west coast. And ail of this ejuntrv, al
though bearing a heavy population in the
aggregate, is without any, or at least with
only little, telegraphic communication with
the rest of thp world. Thus it will be seen
that this line will be a most useful one, and
it is an absolute necessity to the country
through which it passes. In addition to the
benetit conferred on the people along its
line, it will also be of much utility to the
people of Portland, Western Oregon and the
