THE EUGENE CITY GUARD.
SATURDAY. DEO, O. 1Q70.
EUGENE CITY". OREGON.
From trie History of Two Par-tie.
During the late political campaign
Republicau speakers were wont to ask
"What measure ot national import
anoe has the Democracy advocated
during tho past twenty-five years ?"
and then follow the question by a
parade of questions settled and muas
ares advocated and accomplished by
the Republican party. What has been
done during Republican auministra
tions mav be referred to without
sbamo by thoso who value party moro
than tbe country ; but if there is a pure pat
riot in America who can review tbe acts of
that party without shame, we must admit
that we cannot sympathize with him, though
we rejoice when tbe country prospers, nod
feel grateful to any party or administration
that advances the material interests of all the
people; yet we find bat little la the history
of Republican administrations that elicits
joy or demands our gratitude. IJut without
moralizing, let us review tue history of De
mocracy and Radicalism in tbe United
States. It is, or has been, the boast of Rad
icals that tbey built tbe transcontinental
railways ; that they saved the Union ; that
tbey gave tbe poople the homestead and
pre-emption laws and abolished slavery.
Suppose that these things were done under
Republican administrations, we know that
all the people have foil tbe influence of these
great achievements. The Republican party
was In power and grunted millions of acres
of public lands to companies to build tho Pa
cific railroads and branches, and also donated
millions of money, or loaned it, to tbe sain $
companies for the same purpose ; und if it is
any credit to any party to build up great
monopolies at tho expenso of all tbe people,
then the Republican party can fairly claim
it; (or it Is a well known fact that either the
bonds, some 800,000,000 loum-d to those
companies, or the lunus grunted were sulli
cient to construct and equip the rouds. Then
all the honor there was in building those
roads Is offset by the fact t hut either mill
ions of acres of tbe people's lands, or mill
ions of dollars of tbe people's money were
uselessly squandered to gratify the greed and
hush the clamor of public plunderers, soul
less monopolies, and "Credit Mobilurists."
When tho people cume to rejoice over the
comjietion of those roads, "riatun came a
so;" and when we consider bow uiuuy homes
for poor people have beeo squandorud how
tbe price of what is left is double J, how long
and how much we are to be taxed to pay in
torest ou the sixty millions of bonds loaned,
we feel ashamed for tbe country and willing
that such doubtful honors muy rest on the
Republican party, rut her than ou the De
mocracy ; yet we know that all have to beur
the burden alike ; tbero is no distinction of
party as regards tho price of lauds nud mode
and measure of taxation.
That the Republicau party saved tho Un
ion admits of an explanation not more cied
itable to tbe party than tbe building of rail
roads.
If there bad been no Republican party
with its f'luatical leaders denouncing the
Constitution as a "league with death and a
covenant with hell," with its "personal lib
erty bills" io many States dcfyir.g and uul!i
fylng the Constitution, decisions of tho Su
preme Court and laws of Congress, there
could have been no pretext for secession and
would have been no disuuion. So the ques
tion stands to day, if there had been no Radical-Abolition
party bent on revolution aud
preaching an "irrepressible conflict," there
would have been no cause for saving the Lo
ion, or for us bearing billions of a public
debt to be transferred from generation to
generation and continuity gnawing at the vi
tall of our Institutions until it is paid or our
institutions are overpowered and swept Into
oblivion by the power of the "money
chancers" of the world. Hut has the Union
been saved T If we are to credit the boast
ini of Radical orators it bos been. Uut if
we heed the blustering harangues of Ulaine,
Morton, (Jar Geld aud their ilk, or the milita
17 proclamations of Grant, the opiuions" ol
his Attorney (Jeuerals, and the military or
ders of his Secretary of War and General ol
the Army, then we reulize that the Union
has not been saved or else ut w dangers
threaten it every year, or at every general
election.
As to enacting the homestead aud pre
emption laws and their utility, tbere might
be a question. Rut suppose these act were
intended to benefit tilt people, bow have
they been limited, thwarted, and converted
iuto curses instead blessings? Wa venture
to say that (be homestead law hits beeu the
occasion of iu n fraud and perjury Ibao any
one act ever parsed by Congress. 'I he in
ducement was offered, and it was embraced
by greedy cephalitis and ready tools to rob
honest people of cheap bomes; and under the
provisions ot thut act the records of laud of
fices have become a registry of fa'? oaths
This is degrading the public morals, if noth
ing worse. Nor is this alt; for along lines
of railroads on half of the land i given to
tbe rosds, and homesu-adi are reducej one
half io quantity and douUlid in price. Thus
tbe poor nan's poverty is doubled, while tlie .
monopolist's wealth is duplicated. So il the
IVpoblican party has been kind to the poor
man it has beeo oiorj than genrous to the
wealthy.
But if the Republican part j ha b.en mu
nificent, if It has ben liberal towards the
people and railfcaJ. il it has gWeii away
170,000.000 acres ef public lands to mua.ip-
olic-s, w my U peruiitteJ to a-k Low tttt(
party obtained the I mds ! What Jwrtfi
rarciasid thtm? Under what aJo :ii:alra ,
tion were thep acquired f Tbe answer comes
that Democratic administrations secured
Florida, Louisiana, Texas and all tbe vast
region from tbe Gulf of Mexico and tbe Mis
sissippi river to Mexico, the Pacific ocearr
and British America.
All tbo vast area of public lands given to
railroads west of the Mississippi river was
acquired by Democratic administrations; snd
while tbe Republican party boasts of its lib
eralityprofligacy rutber we can truthful
ly say that if tbe Democratic party had not
Secured these lands by wise and statesman
like foresight, the Radical party could not
bave been so liberal. Tbe Democratic par
ty, while it acquired land enough for em
pires, wis liberal enough to provide for com
mon schools, to aid occasional improvements,
grant lands to soldiers and to those who
came with Lewis and Clark to take posses
sion of Oregon, and to donate lauds to act
ual settlers in Oregon during a limited time;
besides holding tbe public lauds . subject to
sale at a price the poorest might be able to
pay, and thus secure a borne aud a home
stead ; tbe Democratic party put tbe lands
into market, the Republican party has
withdrawn them io many cases to force the
people 10 truckle to railroad nabobs. Tbe
Republican party abolished slavery by ecci
deut or by fraud. Now, if by accident, was
tbe accident evidence of Radical statesman
ship? If by fruud, is that fraud evidence of
Republican wisdom? Oue or' tbe other of
these means is a plain maitor of fact, accord
ing to tbe professions of Radicalism. Tbe
war was prosecuted, tbey said, "to save tho
Union,' and not to disturb the institution of
Slavery, and if slavery was abolished by the
war it was an accident; if it was not. then il
must have beeu by Iruud, becauxe il was
abolished in the oue way or the other per
haps by the 15th Amendment, which was
fraudulently ratiGed. So tho credit, at least,
is not honorable to either the wisdom or vir
tue of the party that claims it. To sum np,
tbe matter stands thus. Tbe Democratic
party extendnd our domain from tin Missis
sippi to the 1'ueific Oceau und added more
thai) a billion und two hundred millions ol
acres to our territory, gave oue thirty-sixth
of nil that to support common schools, gave
soldiers lund warrants and gave the seniors
ol Oregon donations of land, giwe flee hun
dred thousand ucres to eueb now State for
"internal improvements," put nil the survey
ed laniN into market at a nominal price, then
estililished our boundaries and left tbo peo
ple iii repose ; )eace end plenty prevailed,
tuxation.lor the general government was uu
known, titer were 110 more lauds to purchase,
no more worlds to conquer. Tho United
States were uomnlelu us to territory, im
provements were springing up everywhere,
population wus rapidly increasing und the
"star of empire" was moving went wurd with
out noise or confusiou, und if the Democrat
ic party advanced io great national ideas or
propped no great naliuii.il measures, it was
because it bad no excuse for revolution, and
without revolution there existed iiocuiish for
a change; we wuru free, untaxed nud pros
perous; to rest, to prosper und grow, was ull
that we had to do. We had grown from a
few colonies to the greatest republic the
world had known, and was it a ilitrucu to us
as a people, il we reposed a while upon our
laurels 1 it is true we did not dj wlml Rad
icalism has done. We did not condemn I ho
Constitution, we did not inaugurate ret-'ilu-tiou,
wu did not plunder tho people, we did
not squander the grout empire ol lands we
had ucqiurcd, we did not halve the. poor
mmi's properly to double tho wealth of our
monopolies, wu had no Credit Mobilier, we
bad no fraudulent conuilutioiml uiih'mI
uieiits, we had uo bayonets to protect usurp
ers and tyrants, wo bud no military necessi
ties and iu short we had not aud have not
much in common with Radicalism. We can
point to the past with pride; not so with (he
Radical party; for their war we have a uution
ul debt; for the abolition of slavery we bave
bayonet rule in the South; for the i'acidc
railroads we have lands shut nut from the
market nud recollections of the Credit Mo
bilier. So far, good and ill have been very
badly mixed by that party.
For every blessing conferred a long train
ol abuses lollowed. The negroes were set free
but therelor the whiles have beeo enslaved,
and for years to coma they are to be hewers
of wood and drawers of water for tho capi
talist of the world.
The Railroad subsidy sy.atem, It is true,
built up the lailrond system of the country,
but it also corrupted Congress and State
legislatures and (lie pure louiitain of legisla
tion llim roiled may uever become clear
again. While the Homestead luw gave the
people opportunity to secure homes, itolTer
ed inducements ai d rewards for perjury that
bave been accepted and embraced to a lear
lul extent.
The territory of the Union is all under
one Hag, but not under one law, military
rule in the South is not the law of the land,
though it may be il Radicalism is to be per
petuated. Radicalism assumes virtue that it
has nut, and powers Dot limited bv law, rea

Oregon' Electoral Vote,
, On Monday last before the crnvass
of the vote of this State for presiden
tiul electors was begun tbo following
protest was filed with tho Governor:
To Hit ExulUncy L. F. Grover, Governor
of Oregon : We, lbs undersigned citizens
of and legal voters in tbe State of Oregon,
do hereby protest against tbe issuance ot a
certificate of election to John W. Watts, a
candidate for Presidential Elector, at tbe
lute election, held ou the 7th day of Novem
ber, 1870, for the reason that on that day,
and until about the 13th orl-iib of the same
month, be was a Postmaster, duly appointed
and qualified as such by the proper authori
ties of the United States ; and, iberelore, in
eligible as an Elector, uoder section 1 of Ar
ticle 2 of the ConBtitutioo of tbe United
States. We ckim and insist that the votes
cost for tbo said J. W. Watts at that election
amounted to nothing, the same as if they
Lad never been cast ; and, be being ineligi
ble to tbe said office of Elector, it is tbe duly
of the proper canvassing officers to give tbe
certificate of election to tbe three qualified
candidates having the highest number of
votes.
This protest was signed by James
K. Kelly, W. W. Thayer, J. S. White,
J. II. Hecd.W. F. Trimble, J. C. Ains
worth, C. B. Bellinger, J. N. T. Mil
ler, W. II. Eflinger, B. Jennings, B.J
B. Acker, A. D. Shelby, T. Patterson,
11. B. Thompson, Geo. L. Curry, John
F. Miller, Wot. Strong, J. T. Miller.
The matter came up belore tho
Governor on tho 5th, Senator Kelly
opening the opposition to the issue of
.1 certificate to Watts. Gen. Odell
filed a couuter protest which was
read and the argument proceeded
with. It appears to have been con
clusively shown that no certificate
could bo issued to Watts; that the lie
vised Statutes specially fix the time
when these electors shall bo appoint
ed, using tho language of tho Consti
tution is tho guide. Section 131,
page 21, under the head, "Tho Presi
dent," and with marginal note, "Time
of appointing Electors," says :
"Except in case of a Presidential
election prior to tho ordinary period,
as specified in sections 117 lo 149 in
clusive, when the ollices ot President
and Vico President both become va
cant, the electors of President and
Vice President shall 1o appointed in
each State, on tho Tuesday next after
tho first Monday in November, in
every fourth year succeeding every
election of a President and Vice Pres
ident. So certificates of election were is
sued to Messrs. Odd!, Cartwrightand
Cronin.
A dispatch to the writer from a
Republican in Salem on Wedm sday
evening says tlio Republican electors
refused to recognize Mr. Cronin as a
qualified elector, whereupon ho de
clared their places vacant and jro
coeded to appoint men to fill tho va
cancies. This being done tho vote
was cast, two appearing for Hayes
and one for Tildcn. The Republican
electors also met und declared ft va
cancy in tho board and elected Watts
to fill such vacancy and cast their
votes for Hayes.
We believe that Governor Grover
did right, and that tho vote of Mr.
Croniu will bo counted for Mr. Til
den.
In disoussing this question tho San
Frauoisuo Examiner ot a recent dato
says :
Tho Uadic.il journals endeavor to
dispose ot a certain important propo
sition, with reference to tho qualifica
tions of Presidential Electors, very
summarily. They manilest a levity in
its consideration not calculated to
command public confidence.
Tho tacts eliciting these remarks aro
as follows: One Mr. Watts, who was
a postmaster in Oregon, aud oue Mr.
Sollace, who was a postmaster in Ver
mont, were candidates at the late elec
tiou1 lor tho position ot Presidential
Electors, aud chosen as such by the
Radicals iu thetr respective States. It
is true that both of them have, since
their election, resigned their ottioos
held under the United Slates Govern
ment, but have not, by that step, ac
quired the capacity to hold the Stale
ollico of Presidential Elector.
Tho Constitution of the United
S'ates is so explicit, as to tho disquali
fication of Watts and Sollace to act
as Presidential Electors, that we quote
it without further comment.
"Article 11 Svotion 1 of the Constitution
rvads as follow : Kacli State shall amount,
in aneh manner aa the Legislature may mrwt,
a nuiulvr of Klti-tors, niu.tl to the whole
number of Senators' and KeprvsonUttvea to
w hieh the SUte may I entitled iu the Con
(nw; but no Senator or Kepresw-ntative, or
pernou holding an orhYe of trtwt or profit
under the 1'uito.l States shall be appoint!
an Hector."
Tho provision of tho Constitution,
aboM iiuoted, suggest that the Presi
dential Electors are to be ajtMiinted
in some manner by the St.V.e Govern
ment, All of the States, except the
new one, Colorado, we believe, now
elect them by popular vote. Ccnse
queetlv, at the lime of their flection,
a Electors, they mnt occupy the
lime status that they would be com
pelled to be in whin njfHinh by
the States, it that were tho rule. The j
Constitution is explicit on this point. 1

of appointment prescribed in tho Con
stitution. Any postmaster, was as
utterly ineligible, that is not capable
of being elected, as Presidential Elec
tor on the da he was voted for if still
postmaster, as he would have been to
be apmutted as such Elector under
any authority in his State, as provided
in tbe Constituion.
It follows, therefore, as a necessary
conclusion, from the premises, that
Messrs. atts and sollace cannot nil
the oflico of Presidential Elector in
their respective States. At the time
they were votal for, to occupy 6uoh
position, they were no more compe
tent to do so than a dead man. The
votes cant for them were simply
thrown away, and whatever candidate,
in opposition to either ot them, re
ceived the bigheHt vote must be de
clared theElector lrom Oregon and
Vermont.
This is a case for which no If
anv State in tbe Union provide.
stat Jles of all ot the States,
lieve, declare to tbe e licet thai
poraon lawfully chosen to the ofneo'
of Presidential Elector dies, resigns,
or is legally removed before the occa
sion occurs tor him to discbarge the
duties ot his office, a vacancy is there
by crei.tid, which can be filled as pro-
viuea uy 1110 icgisiaiion 01 uiu m.-vciai
States. Uut where a person is voted
for who is ineligible at the time of the
election, though ho recoives a clear
majority of all the votes cast, he can
not bo declared elected, and bis ina
bility to qualify cannot create a vacan
cy. The candidate who is eligible,
who has received the next highest
number of voles though that may
not be a majority is in that case
elected.
This is tho constilu'.ional provision on
tho subject under discussion, and we
believe that when tho case comes un
der tho consideration of tho Supreme
Court of the United States, as it seems
most probable now it is likely to do,
notwithstanding a majority of its
metn'oers aro Radical in their views,
that body will decide that a man ut
terly iuooiupetHit lo be elected to of
fice at tho very date ho was elected,
although tho result ot tho clcctiou was
not instantly officially proclaimed,
could not qualify himself for such of
lico by any act subsequent to bis eleo
tiou thereto. Such are the sugges
tions ot a common sense interpetation
of tho Constitution, aud law is alleged
to be the perfection of human reason.
LoulMiann.
Tho infamous returning board of
Louisiana completed its villainous
work on tho Cth inst by declaring the
Haves and Wheeler electors, the Had
ical candidates for State offices and
tour Radical candidates for Congress
to be elected. This they accomplish
ed by throwing out betweon seven
and nino thousand votes. But the
end is not yet. The American peo
plo bave a respect ilia? reaches to rev
erence for the verdict of the ballot.
Oi.ce made, it b always acquiescod in.
To bo suro, each party recoguizes the
fact that there are few elcctious that
aro not tainted by fraud ou both
sides, but they also seo that these
frauds usually balauce themselves; that
they are not large enough lo alter the
result, and that they are usually com
mitted by raeu who are candidates
for minor offices, and aro seldom
countenanced by tho men who aro at
the bead of either organisation. So it
is in Louisiana. It may be that some
Democrats bave committed frauds or
been guilty of intimidation, though
there is no pre of of it, but it must be
evident that tLis could not possibly
have given Tilden this immense ma
jority, for it is an immense majority on
0 small a vote. Brt when a la-turning
Board assumes to throw out part
of one parish and take tho rest, it is
evideot that the whole principle of
elections is destroved. There might
as well be no elections at a!L The
census reports would furnish the rela
tive proportions of the white and
black populations, aud no ballots
whatever need be cast. The elec
tions in Louisiana hare actually been
decided in just this way. Imagine
this principle applied to every Staie
in the Union. It would result in an
archy and civil war. There is 00
