ADVSCEGRATi3.
The democracy ostensibly appears
to be greatly alarmed at the condition
.of the country, and the probable
success of the Republican party in
the co:niiir Presidential contest.
Their organs are full of prognostica
tions and speculations, in regard to
the terrible disasters that will surely
overtake the liepnblic, should the
Republicans come again into full con
trol of the government. They point
out in detail what they claim to be
the rocks upon which the great ship
of State will surely be wrecked, and
the couctry sent to the "Deninilion
bow wons" should its helm he en
trusted to Republican statesman.
They volunteer volumes unasked for
advice, as to who should, and who
ought not to be the standard bearers
of the Republican party, and oven
go so far as to dictate what the na
tional policy of that party shall be
in the event of success. It seems to
be the only aim of the Democratic
party to find fault with and keep up
a great noise and fuss in the rear of
the Republican party, like a boy
whistling while passing through a
gra'v'O yard to keep its coinage up.
It has no national policy of its own,
yet it attempts to make the musses
believe that it is a party of great and
noble purposes, patriotic motives and
statesman like abilities. But we ask
in all candor, what has this party of
great pretentions accomplished for
the country, or even attempted dur
ing the past twenty years, that com
mends itself to the good sense and
sound judgment of any one unbiased
by party ties and associations?
What scheme has it originated for
the amelioration of humanity? What
orifcnized effort has it put forth for
the"evelopment of the country?
Wjisfl, means has it used to strengthen
tlnj iiatioual faith, or establish nation-alcre5jt-?
What has it done towards
restoring the nation's wasted energies-?
- What has i done towards
aiding thj government in collecting
its revenues in the South ? What
has it taught in regard to enfran
chisement of. tic colored race?
Not oneif wtnany things which
patriotism and sound policy would
seem to have dictated has this party
undertaken, much less advised. Like
sleuth hounds, it has constantly dog
ged the Republican party, and hung
like an incubus on the wheels of pro
grew. It has preyed upon the body
politic, and spoil has been its watch
word. It has advocated States rights
as against national sovereignty. It
has condoned fraud and apologized
for traitor.. It opposed resumption
both in Congress and in its press,
with the best talent the party con
tained. It has given aid and com
fort to the enemies of the government
that it had sworn to protect. It has
cried retrenchment and reform, and
at the same time recklessly squander
ed the public funds. It has tried to
milify the laws, by refusing to appro
priate the necessary money to meet
the current expenses of the govern
ment, and then appeals to the intelli
gence of the country for sanction
and support. All this, and more,
has. in the language of one of its
party organs, been its " beautiful
avocation" for the last quarter of a
cent nry.
The Republican party do not need
advice, from such a source, and it is
amply able and capable of taking
care of itself and the country. It is
our opinion that the Republican party
will not ask, nor receive advice from
the party which is so largely con
trolled by the Sage of Cypher Alley
and his counselors. We can assure
the democracy of this one thing,
that the nominee of the Chicago con
vention, whoever he may be, will be
elected in November next.
CGRVALLIS AND YAQUI?SA BAY WAGCN
RCAD.
We desire to call our readers' at
tention to the copy printed below of
the order made by the county com
missioners at. their last meeting.
It is plain that there will be this
summer a very large traffic along
this load from visitors, in addition to
the increasing travel bv settlement of
the district served by the road.
The strong feeling now shared by
so many of the residents of the val
ley, that the time is ridly approach
ing when the Bay will be developed
as nature demands and the absolute
needs of the valley require, will in
duce many people to pay a visit of
curiosity I hi year.
It is for Benton county, and espec
ially for the residents along the road,
anl at Newport, to put the road into
such a condition that a good team
may travel from end to end of it
within, say ten hours.
We have no doubt that this will
be done if our friends will support
the superintendents of the work as
the case demands, with liberal aid in
money, labor, and food supplies.
It is intended to commence the
work by the first of May, it is hoped
that by that time all the arrange
ments will he made so that a consid
erable number of men may be set at
work and the repairs pushed vigor
ously through. Let us all help, for
all are interested.
A list is being prepared of those
who will be called on for labor; many
persons can give time who are not
able to donate money. Others can
give a few days if they receive pay
for additional days. Many of our
friends can give Hour, bacon, beans,
coffee ami other supplies for the
road narties. Due notice will be
published of the times and places
where supplies will he received.
A subscription list will be opened,
and any who may not be personally
visited will very much oblige by
sending their contributions to the
Gazutte office.
Thursday Morning, March 4, 1880.
In the matter ot an appropriation for bridge,
and improvements upon the county road
leading from the hill near James Robin
son's residence (old King place) to Elk
City.
Whereas, a petition signed by a great
number of the tax-payers of Benton county,
Oregon, has been presented to the court,
pra3'iug the court to grant an appropriation
to rebuild bridges and improve said public
highway. And it appearing to the court
that it is necessary that new bridges should
be built and old ones rebuilt and repaired,
and said road improved, between the follow
ing points on said road, to-wit: Commenc
ing at east base of Keyes' hill and extending
to Newport.
It is therefore ordered by the court that
there be and is appropriated the sum of five
hundred dollars, for the purpose of building
and repairing bridges and improvements of
said public highway, upon the following con
ditions : That there be raised and expended
upon said road by thi je interested or will
ing to contribute thereto, the sum of one
thousand dollars, or its equivalent ; said
sums to be expended under the direction and
supervisorship of Wallis Nash, Jas. Edwards
and Hugh Herron, who are hereby appointed
superintendendants of said work. The sum
to be paid for work by money and labor, 10
hours per day, is 1.50 per day without
board, aud 1.25 per day with board, and
market rates to be allowed for supplies
furnished. Said superintendants to keep a
strict account of the labor performed, and
by whom, and of supplies furnished, and by
whom, and the price thereof.
Said work aforesaid to be commenced on
or about the 1st day of May, and completed
on or before the 10th day of June, 1880.

VAQUINA BAY.
Editou Gazette- Advices from
San Francisco, dated Feb. 21st, says
Mr. R. D. Hume, owner ot the steam
ship Alex. Duncan, has repaired and
furnished with new machinery the
steamship Varuna, and intends run
ning her to Yaquina and Alsea when
the Duncan is otherwise employed.
The Varuna will, if a pilot can be ob
tained, enter Alsea bay and examine
that place with a view to establishing
a salmon cannery on that stream. If
the people of Alsea are so fortunate
as to be thus favored, a business will
follow which in the near future must
open a trade with upper Alsea valley.
Alsea bay is the natural outlet for
the produce of Alsea valley. Every
encouragement should be given Mr.
Hume, who, once identified with the
interests of Alsea, will aid greatly in
its development.
Mr. II. thinks avorably of rnnnibg
the Duncan fortnightly between Port
land and Yaquina. This will give
pleasure seekers from the metropolis
a fine chance t" visit Oregon's famous
watering place. Tne time will be
but two days, only one of which will
be on the ocean. Persons tired of
Ilwaco, Unity, Olatsop and oilier
places of resort, will greatly appreci
ate this proposition, and we feel con
fident Mr. Hume will find it much to
his advantage. People of Portland
visiting Yaquina in years past usually
expressed themselves as much pleas
ed, and only regretted the tedious
stage ride between Corvallis and
Pioneer. The Duncan will be well
patronized through the summer sea
son. Try it, Mr. Hume, by all means.
Corvaliis, March 5. Rialto.
NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY.
We are reliably informed that a survey
ing party of the Oregon Railway Company,
limited, will lie placed in the held next
Mouday to survey a proposed narrow gau;e
railway from Corvallis southward via Junc
tion or Long Tom to the east side of the
valley, and there connect with that compa
ny's road to be built from Silverton via Leb
anon to south "f Brownsville. Arrange
ments are now being made with the Yaquina
Bay Euilrod Company to build its road from
the summit of the coast range instead of
from Corvallis, in return for an obligation
of the Oregon Railway Company to connect
its road from Junction to Corvailis with the
Yaquina Bay Railway at the summit. The
latter company has conlidence in Yaquina
Bay being a large foreign port of shipment
for the grain of the Willamette valley, but
the Oregon Railway Company, limited, are
not so sanguine of this, still they are wil
ling to give the Yaquina Bay i ail way all
the assistance in their power by hauling
freight from Lane and Linn counties to its
terminus, at the summit, and if no good
port of shipment is found at the Bay that
freight will be carried northwards to Port
land via King's valley and Dallas, on the
present Dayton & Sheridan Railway, an ex
tension of which, at or near Dallas, will
certainly be made this year. - Additional
iron can be obtained and is offered by the
Pacific Rolling Mills Company to be deliv
ered before Autcust next at Corvallis to make
this narrow gauge extension southward
from that city, which is only a distance of
thirty miles, so that 1,500 tons of iron will
complete that connection this fall. Bee.
We have interviewed the Presi
dent of the Yaquina Bay road, who
says there are no negotiations pend
ing with the Oregon Railway Com
pany, limited, in regard to the above
matters. One would suppose from
the tone of the above article, that
our people did not know what was
for their own interest. The idea of
hauling freight from Corvallis to
Junction, and across the coast range,
diagonally northward to a point
where the present line of the Yaquina
road is located, making a distance of
15 miles, when it can be taken to the
summit via Yaquina railroad, in one
third that distance, is altogether too
transparent. Its preposterous in the
extreme, and will not he believed by
our readers for one moment, that
the present management of the Ya
quina road woidd enter into any
such scheme. They are too good bus
iness men to entertain for one . mo
ment such a proposition. We want
it distinctly understood that the Ya
quina railroad is to be built on the
nearest, shortest and most practicable
route from Corvallis to the sea. And
that much to be hoped for object will
be attained, just as soon as consist
cut, taking into consideration obsta
cles to be surmounted and difficulties
to be overcome. But our readers
must bear in mind that railroads arc
not built in a day. Compose your
souls, therefore, in patience, and in
the near future i'o will see this en
terprise an accomplished fact.

Plcgville,
(Wich is in the State uv Injeany,)
Febrooarv 4. 1880.
I hevent felt so good az I do now sence I
married a farm in Noo Jersey, over 40 yeers
ago. That wuz a event in my checkered ca
reer wich I never shel fergit. That "event
give me piomise uv a long life uv eeze unal
loyed by labor, but like other promises it
waz broke. When that widder diskivered
that I wood not eithe hold the plow or drive,
but prefered the sweet content uv the vil
lage tavern, she crooelly druv me forth into
the cold world, sence wich time 1 hev shift
ed about az best I cood, wich is bad enuff.
Ther is no free lunches at the Cornere.
I come to Plugville the minit I heerd that
a dozen uv niggers, wich bed got the nosheu
uv leevin ther nateral home.1 in the sunny
South, perposed to settle here. I felt it my
dooty to aid the strugglin whites uv this
seeksbun to repel this invashun, that Inje
any shood be taved from the horrors uv n.g
ger dominachen. Cood Injeany redoose em
to ther normal condishen uv servitood, we
shood welcome em, but, when they come ez
free meu it is altogether too disgustin.
There wuz four famiiifs uv em that got ofi
at the stashen. Wat did they do ? They
hedn't bin in town a hour afore they wuz in
quirin for work and they all got work to do
among a parsel uv Qu -kers that live just
outside the village. There wuz some Cabins
fitted up for em ; and they went to work
jist ez nateral ez tho they bed bin yoost to it
all their lives. Still the Dimocrisy wuz not
alarmed, fonjit didn't know the volcano it
waz sleepin over.
The postmaster ( A'ich is a troo Dimikrat)
wuz the first to sound the alarm. He divul
ged the stoopenjus fact that them niggers
wuz a martin letters to other niggers in the
South, aud he promptly opened one uv em.
His uust feers wuz realized. The niggers
wuz writin to ther friends, savin that they
wuz beein paid reglar f ir ther work, and
wuzut at ail afeerd uv bein mo?es.id, ami
urged em all wich cood git away to come to
wunst. Ther wuz a eggscifement among the Di
mocrisy wieh bafie's descripshen. Suppose
200 niggers shood come into this county and
all vote the Republikin tikkit ! It wood
change the polittikle complexion uv the
county, and possibly the state. The imme
giashen must be stopped to wunse aud Ii)e
any saved.
I come ji3t in time to give the movement
agio em shnpe and form, and my work here
is the proudest uv my life.
I called a meetin uv the Dimocrasy at
Bonebiaker's grosery, wich is ez like Bas
co.n's ez two peas. It is singler fact that
wherever the Dimocrisy is in the majority
you will find groseries jist like Bascom's and
the proprietor thereof hez allnz the same ob
jejkshun to creditin his patrons wich dis
tingishs that narrer minded citizen.
It wuz a occashnn long to be remembered.
'Squire Papman opened by remarkin that
the emergency demanded vigrus ackshen.
The influx uv degraded niggers into Injeany
wuz sutliin that threatened the state with
untold woes, and he wood resist it to the
death. The Quakers wich harbored em
shood be visited with the wrath uv all rite
minded citizens, and measures shood be ta
ken to not only prevent more comin, but to
cleen out them wich wuz here. He submit
ted the folleriu resolooshen:
Wareas, Four families uv niggers hev, in
the most owdashns manner, left their happy
homes in the South and settled in this coun
ty, bein harbord by evil-disposed persons,
;ind
Wareas, These niggers is stirrin up dis
content among their degraelid race by repre
sentiu to em that they kin get work here and
get regler pay for the same, and
Wareas, It is a dead shoor thing that
these niggers will, every cussed one uv em,
vote Republikin tikkit, and we can't count
em out ez easy ez our brethern no in the
South, therefore, be it
Resolved, That nigger imigrashen is a un
mitigated outrage onto the white citizens uv
Injeany, and that it must be stopped by the
means handiest to us.
Resolved, That ez the nigger is by nacher
slothful and indolent, and will never labor
ceptin under compulshen, we brotest aginst
him comin among us to till our alms-houses
and jails, thu3 imposin additional taxes onto
a already tax-burdened people.
Resolved, That ez the nigger will work for
less wages than a free-born white man, his
comin wil naturally throw the poor but hou,
ist Caucashen out uv employment.
Resolved, That we ra-asscrt the old time
Dimekratic idee that the white man is soo
pcrior to the nigger, and that our dawters
shel never be permmitted to intermarry with
em on no akkount, even ef we hev to kill the
niggers and lock up the gals to prevent it.
Resolved, That we, representin the cap
pytle and intelligence uv Plugville, pledge
ourselves never to submit to the dominashen
uv a inferior race, and therefore will take
measures to remove the four nigger families
jest ariived, ez well ez the two wich wuz
Here afore.
The 'squire hevin invited all present to
take suthin, the resolooshens were yooani
mcusly passed. The takin suthin wuz on
fortnitly, indefinitely postponed, Bonebrake
mildly but firmly refoosin to set out the bot
tle ontil the 'squire showed money, wich he
wuz enable to do.
But the blood uv Plugville wuz up, and
so tritlin a circumstance did not destroy ther
ardor. A Kentucky Dimekrat needs stim
joolatin when he goes nigger huntin the
Ingianian does it from a love uv it.
They formed in persceshun and marched
out to the Quaker settlement and in less time
than it tidies to write these lines the cabins
wuz wrecked and their furntoor, beddin,and
sich yootensils ez they hed, wuz safely hived.
Bonebrake took the plunder for likker, and
we hed, a ginyooine Dimekratic love-feast
that nite. It wuz a okkashun wich infused
new strength into the Dimocrisy uv the
seckshen. Plugville hez set a example to
the state. I am ez happy here ez I wuz in
Kentucky.

P. S, I forget to to menshun that one
nigger wuz killed in the melee, and one nig
ger woman and her two babies froze to death
that nite.
P.S. 2d Mieheal O'Flanagan heznt bin
sober sence he got away with a looking
glass, two saws, and some baby clothin, on
which Bonebrake advanced him a gallon uv
noo whisky. He is lookin for another set
tlement uv immigrants to cleen out. He
sez his motto is, "Ameriky for white Ameri
kins. " Michael is opposed to immigrashun
clean thru. He wants to know "why they
shood lave ther homes?" Why, indeed?
