Some very considerate friends of Col. Nesmith conceived the idea of having him nominated by the Inde pendent Convention which met at Sa lem on the loth ult. The proposition was favorably received by the Inde pendents, and Col. Nesmith telegraph- ed to from Salem on the 13th, to know whether he would accept such nomi- • nation. The following was his an- swer: W asiiixgtox , April 14th, 1874. I respectfully decline any nomination for Congress. j. w. N esmith . We are further authorized, says the AVir.«, to state that C’ol.

If Democrats adhere to Democratic principles and do their duty in the canvass and at the polls, as they are sure to do, Radicalism will be routed at every point. / The ••Oregon Mnzeppa.” The 7?< '»ton J)eniacral, since it passed under the control of J. Avery and his clique, makes serious pretensions for the reputation ac quired by the Mazeppa, Police Gazette, etc., and well does it suc ceed. In reply to our article, in which we passed upon his political course, and in no instance referred to his private character, he indulges in a most slanderous, untruthful and li belous article, which entitles his or gan to the front rank among the aforesaid journals, and brand the author as a mangy cur and gutter snipe, of whom no notice should be taken. Not satisfied with beslob bering us with his tilth, he seeks to cast foul aspersions upon the fair name of other gentlemen, who by no means have anvthing to do with the T imes . This course is an old dodge to shirk the truthful ness of our assertions, and evinces the fact that our remarks tit him exactlv. We are averse to making the T imes a personal organ, and we also consider our space too valuable to waste with his history. A Matter ot' Kecortl.

Nesmith will accompany him and show him and his corrupt crowd up at every place where Wd Hiatus shall presume to speak. ('<>1. Nes mith will answer the Laudaulct Hero, whenever he makes a speech, whether the latter gives his consent or not. A knowledge of this fact will undoubtedly keep Williams from coming, however much he may otherwise be inclined to do so. Years ago, in war times, the Re publican voters of Applegate con ceived that matters were not parti san enough, and circulated a peti tion to the Countv Court that the polling-place be removed from the store of K. Kubli, who was a Dem ocrat, to Benedict's place, the pro prietor of which wils of the oppo site faith. The petition received twelve signers. Meanwhile a re monstrance was circulated, which Angora <áoa<M a NticcesM in Oregon. received twenty-nine signatures.

So much for the “ Democratic steal. Having proven a defaulter, no demo cratic paper attempts to justify him or extenuate his offense. < hk the other hand, the Ring paper that has the shamelessness to refer to Ladd’s politics, in the hope of making some party capital mit of his offense, is defending the ('ustom-house thieves with the feeding of one who has a personal interest in their crime. Ladd's defalcation, large as it is, is but a drop in the bucket, compared with what the Ring has stolen in the coiDtruction of the Custom house.
