pudiation of the whole or any part of the

only a milder term for repudiation.

overthrown by rebellion.

With Brief Explanatory Xotcs.

Resoleed, That we are opposed to
sharing with s-rvi!e races the price
less politica.,,heiitflge achieved alom
by white men, and by them transmit
ted to h-, their posterity, as a sacred
trust forever.
Th:3 is a rehash of Democratic
blather on the negro quest ion, foi
more than twenty years before the j
late rebellion. It sprung, Nnsby says,
from the famous " Cussed be Canaan,"
and has been the principal f-toek in
trade of the domit ant party, until cop
perheadism became rampant in active
treason. That " Sacred trust rever''
sounds strangely from such a den,
after the Nation had been almost
stung to death by the serpent in it
I osom ; aud proves eonc'u.-ively that
old sns keSt if not dog?, moy learn new

Resolved, Thnt good fai'h and jus
tice to all dema:ds that the public
debt shall be paid in like currency ax
contracted, and we favor action by
Congress submitting United States
securities to be taxed as other prop
erty. Toe first part of this resolution
blows hot to Pendleton's cold, nnd
may be tiik-n for what it is worth
The lat part is a sop to reconcile the
repudiating wng of the party, finding
general favor with them.
Resolved, Tnat the bur-lens of tax
ation -right t be equal among the
people, a nil shouli be upon property
m-;eail of ihe industry of the country.
as ! present laws provided.
" Equal atrong the people,'1 sound?
first-rate, but w hen they want the tax
on ''properly." instead of industry.
that means Mibstaii'h.lly that the poor
man's farm shall he taxed, but tht
motive power of D nmrracy, in f.ict
he "industry" upon which the prin
cipal tax is Collected, whiskey, is to
lie made free of tax. For one we
can t see it. 1 hose w ho indulge m a
taste for whiskey, or any other Dem
ocratic laxury, ought to pay a tax,
instead of poor fanners.
Resolved, That we protest against
the n C"ntniciion acts id Congress as
unwarranted by the Constitution,
revolutionary in tendency, and in
positive violation of the tailh of the
General Government pledged to the
people of the United States.
As the Democrats have never failed
to raise a howl against every act of a
Union Congress " Unconstitutional!
Unconstitutional!!" This hiss, now
so common, may be classed with the
voice of the ' Species." That "vio
lation of the faith of the General
Government " is the precise expres
sion used once before, and is bor
rowed from the rebel outcry, raised
when the National authorities sought
to relieve the gallant but starving
garrison in Fort Sumpter.
Resolved, That we utterly con
demn the attempts of Congress to
usurp the powers of the Executive
and Judicial departments ot the Gov
ernment as a flagrant outrage upon
the Constitution and the liberties of
the people.
A Union Congress, curbing the
monarchical tastes of A. Johnson are
here referred to, and Andy is sup'
ported in a delicate unsubstantial way,
by men who despise him as heartily
as we do.
Resolved, That we sympathise with
the Insh people, in their efTu ts to se
cure to themselves civil liberty.
This is a bid for Fenian votes, nnd
will be construed in the light of Pies
ident Johnson's treachery, by which
many of them were sent to death, or
hopeless captivity, when their expe
dition to reptiblicauize Canada, was
organized.
Reso'ved That is the duty of the
Federal Government to extend pro
tection h ke to all native and natu
rahz d citizens, both at home and
abroad.
This is eminently tsoutul, and is
eq-ial!y applicable, Nith, South,
hJast. and West; we believe it, and
try to prae i e ;t as w II ; t tome,
and will abroad, when F.ghln g Grant
is installed President, instead of D-Ui
ocratic A. J. who is now retiring
from the position.
Resolved, That we .are in favor of
encom aging a juoirious system of
ruilroait improvements in Oregon, to
develop our vast re-onrceJ, and lor
i his purpose C-oturess should make
liber.il grant? ot aid.

i i the 'Tim honored priciples' as
they have always been opposed to
- Internal Improvements-" and only
as late as ihe measure was pending
which was to give us the magnificent
spectacle of a railroad across the
Continent, Democrats were, as usual,
on the w roug side.
Taken altegether, this squeak of
the Democratic penny whistle, is no
ways alarming to the Union men
w ho have breasted the surges irf trea

flow. The men who issued this
Democratic document, were Dpmo

THE DIABOLICAL
Barba.iltlt-s of the Rebel in the treat
ment of t'nluu Fnioucit.
Republicans have not forgotten the
irrefragable proof of all that wa6
stated ot the rebel ctuelties toward
our men, taken by them prisoners
during the war. The photographs ot
prisoners returned, and published in
the Illustrated Journals of that day,
together with the report of the joint
Committee on the conduct of the war.
is without exaggeration. The follow-
ng is one page only, .relative to the
mass ol evidei ce taken by the com
mittee. We quote:
l The evidence proves, beyond all
manner of doubt, a determination on
the part of the rebel authorit ies, de
liberate! v and persistently practised
for a long time past, to suhj. ct those
of our soldiers who have been so un
fortunate- as to fall in their hands to
i system of treatment which has re
suited in reducing many of those w in
have survived and been permitted to
return to ns to a condition, both
physically and mentally, which no
language we ean use can adequately
describe. Though nearly all the pa
tients now in the Naval Academy
hospital, at Annapolis, and in the
est hospital, in Baltimore, have
under the kindest and most intelli
gent treatment for about three weeks
past, and many ot them for a greater
length of time, still thy present lit
erally the appearance of living skele
tons, many of them being nothing but
kin and bone; some of them are
maimed for life, having been frozen
while exposed to the inclemency of
the winter season on Belle Isle, being
compelled to lie on the bare ground,
without tents or blankets, some of
th- io without ov ercoats or even coats,
with but little fire to mitigate the
severity of the winds and storms to
whii'h they were exposed.
"The tistimony shows that the
general pi ad ice of their captors was
to rob I hem, as soon us I hey were
t:ken prisoners, of til! their money,
valuables, blankets, flint good cloth
ii g, for which 'hvy received nothing
in i xehan-je, except, perhaps, some
old worn-out rebel cl"tl.ig, hardly
better than none at all. Upn their
arrival at II chmou1 tney have been
eonfmed, without blankets or other
eoverin-r, in buildings without fire, or
upon'Belle Isle with, in many cases,
no sh Iter, and iioihers with tiOlh
it. g but old discarded army tents, so
injured by rents and holes as to pre
sent but little barrier to the wind
and slotms; on several occasions, the
witnesses say, they have arisen in the
morning from their resting-places
upon the bare earth, and found sev
eral of their comrades frozen to death
during the night, and that many oth
ere wou'd have met the same fate
had they not walked rapidly back and
f.-rih, during the hours which fchotild
have been devoted to sb-ep, for the
purpose of retaining sufficient warmth
to preserve life.
" In respect to the food furnished
to our men by the rebel am horitie,
the testimony proves that the ration
if each man was insufficient in quan
tity to preserve the health of a child,
even had it been of proper qualify,
which it was not, it consisted u-uaby,
at the most, f two small pieces of
corn bread, made in many instances,
as the witmsses state, of corn and
cobs ground together, and badly pre
pared ar.d cooked; of, at times about
two ounces cf meat, usually of poor
quality, and unlit to be eaten, and ic
casionally a lew black worm-eaten
beans, or something of that kind.
Many of our men were compelled to
sell to their guards, and others, for
what price they could get, such
clothing and blankets ns they were
pei milled to receive of that forward
ed lor their use by our government,
in order to obtain additional food
sufficient to susta'n hfe; thus, by en
deavoring toavoil one privation, re
ducing themselves to the same des
titute condition in respect to clothing
and covering that they were in be
fore they nceived any from our govs
eminent. When they became sick
und diseased in consequence of this
exposure and privation, and were ad
milted into the hospitals, their treat
ment was little, if any. improved as
to food, though they, doubtless, snl
fered less from exposure- to cold than
before. Their food still remained in--uffieient
in quantity and altogether
unfit in quality. Their diseases and
wounds diil not, receive the treatment
which the commonest dictates of hu
manity would have prompted.
" In addition to this insufll -ient
supply of food, clothing and shelter,
our soldiers, while prisoners, have
been subjected to the most cruel
treatment from those placed over
them. They have been abtjed and
B laineful y i resiti d on almost every
o,port nni-y. Many have been uie-r
cilessly shot and killed when they
filled to comply with all the demands
-f their jail-rs. sometimes for violat
ing' rules of which I hey had nut been
informed. Crowded in great num
bers in building-, they have been
fired at and kl led by the sentinel
mitside when I hey appeared at the
windows tor the purpose of obtaining
a little fnsh air. One man, whose
comrade in 1 he sei vice, in battle and
in eapthity , had been so fortunate as
to w among those released from fur
flier torments, was shot dead s he
was waving with his hand a last adieu
to his fiiend; and in other instances
of equally U' provoked murder are
disclosed by the testimony."
Is it possible to conceive of demons
exceeding the treatment which, in a
few months, could reduce able bodied
men to more than skeletons? And

Robert Toombs, a confederate of
some note, in a letter to a Democrat
ic convention in Ohio, shows the tran
quil stite of his mind, by using the
following impudent langu ige. " I re
gret nothing in the past, but the dead,
and the failure." As he writes to
men of his own political kidney, and
in profound sympatly with him in
any regrets he tr ny experience, ol
coutse he has no nation to conceal or
dissemble.
The regrets of such men, are not
usually dear, and in this instance are
unusually cheap. Of course Toombs
and men of his class, were foremost
in urging an appeal from ballot to
bullet, (ihey generally kept out of
range however) but now that their
a e . t . -
otieu i, compels a return to ancient
forms, and the supremacy of the bal
lot is restored, he remembers with a
Rpa-m of regret, the dead who mirht
be useful in hoisting him again into
favor. For desolated homes and the
anguish of sriik.-n ones wh' mourn
without hope, till death will bring re
lease, this magnanimous scion of the
rebel aristocracy, has not even a cheap
regret. The taxes which burden an
impoverished people, he probably
never thought cf. When the men
were lost, the cause was last, so he
has something to remind, and he sig
nifies the depth of his sorro, by
regret. He regrets the failure not
tne rebellion! Not he. Though the
attempt to destroy our free Com
monwealth, had more infernal ma
lignity in it, than was ever imagined
out of hell, Toombs and men ot like
mind, have nothing but regret, that
this gigartic conspiracy against tin
life of the Repuhl.e, failed. For tin-
folly and wickedness of himself, and
other leaders, there is no suspicion of
regret. For the infamy of this trea
son against humanity, an infamy up
on which the blackness of Judas
Iscariot or Benedict Arnold can 1. ..vi
no stain, this unreconstructed rebel
has no blushes. While-we hear such
words from one of those who are re
sponsible for all the horrors of the
rebellion, its hard sacrifices, and life
long sorrow, we are tempted to lor
get the divine words of charity spo.

time before the icbel assassin's bullet

Oswego, April 11th, 1363.
Ed. Enterprise :
This has been a good day for the Union
cause in this precinct. According to ap
pointment. Gov. Gibbs made a very fair
and just address to the voters of our pre
cinct, in support of the. great Union party
and its Grand National principles, and to
judge by the oft repeated rounds of ap
plause his speech was understood and
appreciated by the assembled crowd
which was made up of Union men and
Democrats. Mr. Iteed came in when the '
Governor was about through. but declined
to speak until evening. So wi:h cheers
tor the Union and Grant we dispersed un
til evening, wheu we listened to u very
candid speech from Mr. Reed.
Hut he was in the situation of the
man who hired the cooper to make him a
park barrel. Who. when he called for
staves to make it. found none, and then
called for timber for hoops and the head
i ig and found none of that. So all the
Juoper could, do was to make the bumj
liolv which was all the component parts
of a barrel the man possessed. So wiih
our Democratic orator, he failed to make
out a case entirely, and alter he had closed
the Gov. was called lor, and. amidst deaf
ening applause, took the stand, and in his
clear and lucid manner, supplied the ma
terial and made the barrel complete, except
the "bung hole"' which the other had
made belore (out of nothing.)
But, to speak to the j o at ; both parties
heard, and I presume think they under
stood, both speakers, and the result will
be. that on the first Monday in June, we
will elect the Governor and all our Union
State and county ticket, for ice have got
the maie-ial and the mechanics who can
make and maintain a good and honest
government ; who will give fair play for
all good things the people of our be
loved State desire, and under whose rule
we can march on to our manilest great
ness, wealth, and happiness.
The Union men of Oswego are a unit
for the cause, in this corner of" Clackamas
county, and are alive, up, and doing.
We are not looking for a Railroad, but
the Tualatin River is clear of drift and
the steamer Onicard makes her first trip
on Monday. UJtli inst.. to liillsboro. whei e
large amounts of freight are in wailing for
her. Success we say to the Oiuc.ird and
her Captain Jo. Kellogg, "l'erseverence
commands success." and surely in this case.
Capt. Ed. and his crew have fairly won
ihe honor of opening the Tualatin River
to commerce and travel. Lxiox.

which conveys merchandise to that
portion of the i i'y. A petition nu
merous'v signed was handed into the
Council some weeks since, asking
l hat honorable body to remove the d if
liculty by refilling Front street, or
removing the toil-gate without the
city limits. 1 he communication was
referred to the Committee i-n Streets
and Public Property, who if our ii.for
mat ion be correct, have failed to
make .t report upon the subject
The Bulletin otuht to be aware that
the Council has a "policy" and that
the neglect to repair Front street is
all on account of "policy."' Tie. cir
cumlocution Office has never deemed
.it ''policy'' to fill up the break in the
street, though it happened something
over fifteen months ago. The Cir
cumlocution Officedon't live south of
the toll gate; the Office has no Iron
wotks, r.or stores, nor tenement
houses on the torrid side of th- cre
vasse; hence its "policy1' is, if the
crtrasse will let the Circumlocution
Office alone, the Circumlocution OtTie
will let the crevasse alone. " Polk v'
is a big thing, and the Bulletin ought,
by this time, to know it. What if

John Henry Smith addressed the Dem

This will be news to Oregon City people.
We do not think John Henry is capable
of bringing anybody to the mourners
b. n:h. he usually fails i 1 all public enei

failed once since the war began in making
a Fourth of July oration in Vamhill cour

A AVOKD TO YOUNG LADIES
Iu modera times, the false opinion that
honorable and profitable employment, is
humiliating and degrading to young wo
men, has. to a lamen'ahle ex e i', becanr.e
popuiar in circles of so-called fashionable
society, in the sparsely settled districts of
the country as well as in or.r more dense
ly populated cities, the effect of which is
oo often ruinous upon the minds of young
persons, who are. or ought to be, entering
upon the active duties of life.
It is not unfrequen'ly the case that
young ladies richly endowed with intellect.
bury the talents God has given them;
spending the most valuable portion of
iheir life in gay society, engaging in fool
ish amusements far beneath the dignity of
true womanhood, exerting every nerve to
excel the most fashionable in dress and
outward accomplishments, simply because
the mind has been directed in the wrong
channel. Thev are ashamed to make them
selves useful, because they think public,
or at least fashionable sentiment, condems
it. So they are led to believe that the
lady who can adorn the ball-room by the
most graceful waltz, seat herself at the
Piano with the greatest appearance of
gentility and assume to advantage all the
airs requisite to fashionable society, is de
serving the caresses and admiration of
even the sensible portion of community.
Cut my young friends jou are laboring
under a sad, a fatal mistake. Allow your
selves a moment lor reflection. Throw I
aside the vanities and frivolties of your
daily existence, and permit the pure, the
noble, the beautiful of your nature, to
gain the ascendency; and methinks you
will see that life should have a higher.
nobler aim. Open wide the kitchen door,
see your toil-worn mother, laboring with
unremitting energv from dawn of day.
in til a late hour of night compels her to
seek tnat rest wtnen ner weanea lorm re
quires. Willingly she toils for yon and
you enjoy the liuit ot lier labors ana yel
the very occupation by which your par
ents support your extravagance you would
consider a disgrace to yourself. If a dis
grace to you why not such to them, to
those fond parents who should be dear to
you as life itself. Would yon have them
disgraced that you. who owe all you have
and are to them, might be admired. En
ter with jour mother into tin; i-verv-day
cares o(" life, share lier toils, lighten her
soi rows and increase her joys, afford her
an opportunity to enjoy with you the
society of intelligent, noble minded peo
ple, let her see that the star of youthful
affection is glowing in your heart for her
and she hi return will bestow that mater
nal blessing of which you will then be
worthj. The step of j our father will be
come more elastic and his eye will rest
upon you with a fonder expression of pa
ternal love as he sees you striving to pro
mote his happiness. And thai noble
hearted brother who. in too many i nstances
has been driven by the cold indifference
of his sisters, to seek amusement iu the
various debasing saloons with which our
citit s are infested, perchance maj- be re
claimed by the tender pleadings of a lov
ing sister's gentle heart.
.Strive then impelled by the purest mo
tives that can actnaie the heart of woman,
to rekindle the fire of affection which per
haps has been long smouldering in his
bosom. Let him see that the home of his
youth is the pride of his sis'er. that they
are employing every means their loving
presence, lively imagination and ingenious
ardor can invent, to make that, home at
tractive, and he will be induced by the ar
dent sympathy of his nature to s.-ek with
in his own family circle that happine.-s for
winch fie has so long sought abroad in
vain. lint we would not wish jour sphere
of usefulness to be limi'ed to the home
circle. Neither would we desire you to
laj- aside tlmse accouqd's'aineu's with
which nature and association have endnw
ed you. lor grace and elegance of manner
impart to ihe (rue woman a charm such as
the superficial lady can never posses-.
Having first performed the duties attend
ant upon a home life, look abcul yon and
see if there are no u.e ms bv which you
can advance the interest, of society and
the happiness of your associates. Forget
not the poverty stricken, but be.-tow upon
them a look, a word, an act of kindness.
Teach the uneducated, reclaim the erring
wanderer, and the rich bh-ssings of Him
who despised not labor but went about
doing good, will rcwa d you abundantly
for all the sacrifice you have made.

IvcKATiTt'DE."' Certain Democrats of
Clackamas county will recollect 'Col."
Craig, late of the Confederate army. The
Co!, traveled to Salem on the same boa
with us less than one month ago. aid we
recollect wiih what eagar looks he was
erected bv his -brothers" on board. Dur-
ing our stay in Salem wo observed that
the "Col. was very attentively shown
around by the "left wing'' of the rebel
army at the Capital; and onceweheaid
it insinuated that he would probablv in
vest in Willamette cloth before leaving
that city of niarnilicent di.tmces. He
did not meet with such success at all
times, however, as will be seen by the fol
lowing paragraph which we clip from the
State Journal :
The ingratitude of humanity was never
more fully exhibited than in the case of
"Col." Craig, late of the Confederate
army. We understand he brought a note
fiotu some of the 'Jone.' family to Judge
.of this county, recommending him
to the favorable consideration of the De
mocracy. The letter set forth, we learn,
that the "Col.7' was a Simon-pure bed-rock
Democrat, "without variableness or shadow
of turning.'' that he fought and bled un
der the renowned "Gen."' Hubert E. Lee.
and had gone through all the horrors of
the late terrible war, for the "time -honored
principles." In corroboration of his
statements lie Viewed honorable sears re
eehed in the service, and recited with ve
hement eloquence the perils he had en
countered; the Bufferings he had endured ;
how he had been sick and in prison, his
watchings and fastings ; how he had sac
rificed a princely estate in the interest ol
the "Lost Cause.'" Dut somehow or other
the JuJge couldn't see it. and wouldn't
pungle. The Col." then made a series of
visits among the Spec ies," but with the
same success. They had nlentv of tears
to shed over, but no money lo spend on
poor Confederate soldiers" The "Col."
became hugely disgusted, nnd said manv
bitter things against the allies. Some
Union man gave him money to defray his
expenses out of town. He'then departed
invoking terrible anathemas upon the
heads of the "affinities.' How s-harper
than a serpent's tooth is incrnuitude !
We have heard that a littfle man, in the
Southwest part of the county, made severe
exertion iu order to secure a nomination
on the Union ticket, as Sheriff, his on'v
argument, being that if his ciaitr.s we e
disregarded, he would desert, and ro over
to the enemy. As Union men could nt
see it, somebody says he has gone. We
don't publish his name, as he may rep -nt
Any how, he won't carry as much wei --lit
