o Q The Unionist has discovered a
" clerical artist" up in Polk. He
lias an amazing talent, and has drawn
n remarkable picture, and it is possi
ble he may abandon the practice of

The President and the rebels
have come to a new understanding.
The Southern States are to be kept
q out of Congress until they are re
stored to the rebels. This is the issue
) -resented in the National Intelligent
err, in an editorial which reads very
much like Jerry D'ack, though com
mon fame attributes it to the facile pen
of the Secretary of State.
A democratic leader was called
on to make a Bpeec h at Oswego, iu
this county, a few days Kgo. His
hpeccli wasritf enough to suit the
most fastidious, and so pointed as to
t-xpress the whole democratic doc
trine in a few words. He said :
"D n the nigger ! D n the
republicans !" 'J hat speech was the
very essence of all the democratic
editorials that have been written for
vhe last fifteen ) ears.
The whole column of Calchas"

are beirfg exposed. In every instance,
when his statements have been coup

The Death Struggles of 'Dcmocra-cy.7'
Every careful observer of current
events must know that the Demo
cratic party of this nation is in the
iast agonies of an ignominious death,
and that it will soon follow the "Lost
Ctsuse,"i with whoso fortunes it is
identified, to the grave' prepared for
it by ... an . outraged .loyAl SBiitimeui
Already some of its most sagacious
leaders see the handwriting on the 1
wall, and advising the paityto. save
the pieces. The Nej York Herald
foreseeing the inevitable defeat of its
Presidential ticket next fall, advises
that . no candidates be nominated,
but i that the Democracy allow the
Presidential election to go by default,
and that they save as much from the
wreck, as possible, and secure as
many members of Congress as can
be elected upon local issues.
It is not probable that this whole
some advice will be taken. From
present appearances the . Democratic
leaders will make one more terrible
effort to regain power. To accom
plish this, no stone will be left un
turned. The leaders are utlerly un ;
! scrupulous, and will adopt any meas
ure, or advocate any policy, which
will secure votes, and place Demo
crats in ofiioe. To accomplish this
object they are now making a des
perate effort to unite every element
of opposition against the Union party.
This is a task which requires tact,
strategy, and an utter abandonment
of any distinctive line of policy or
priuciple. .
Bat it is evident that the , Demo
cratic leaders have deterroined to
fight the great battle of 1 SOS upon
this plan; and by conciliating every
faction, and securing every shade of
opposition they hope to regain power;
hence they have presented us the re.
markable spectacle of a party asking
for the suffrages of a free people,
upon no distinctive line of policy
whatever. It is altogether a nega
tive party, united upon no ques
tion except hatred of the negro.
Upon this sublime platform it takes
its stand, for the great national fight
of 18G3. It opposes the Congressional
plan for the reconstruction of the
rebel States, but will not suggest any
other, for the simple reason that its
leaders know that no other plan could
be suggested, which would meet the.
approval of the various shades of op
p s'tlo 1; and they are too sagacious
to encumber it with any positive dec
laration of principles.
Upon the Gnancial question the
party is not united. The Eastern
Democrats, under the lead of Sey
mour, advocate the payment of the
national debt according to the terms
of the contract; Western Democrats
are divided between Pendleton, who
is in favor of swamping the debt with
a flood of greenbacks, and Brick
Pomeroy, who advocates open, un
disguised repudiation.
Upon the question of State Sover
eignty there is an equal diversity ,of
opinio.!. Some, including all the
more intelligent classes, are inclined
to accept the situation, and repudiate
the ' time honored principles," siuce
they have been weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting. Others,
including that large class who never
learn any thing till men of intelligence
have forgotten it, are still claiming
for the " time honored principles.
Indeed there is no national ques
tion upon which they can all agree.
They may therefore be properly
characterized as a band of political
IshmaeHtes, who oppose every thing,
advance nothing, and hope to float
into office upon the cross currents of
noncommittal opposition. Their
game: is success at any price. Yhat
is principle to men who ton!y 'desire
success for the sake of the loaves and
fishes of office? Such small details
as principles can be settled after suc
cess is secured. What else could in
duce them to seriously entertain the
idea of nominating for President,
Salmon P. Chase, an original aboli
tionist, a member of Lincoln's cabinet,
and the inventor of greenbacks?
What else could induce them to
coquette with Grant, and Sherman,
and Thomas, and Sheridan, the
very men who over threw the " time
honored principles," aud whom they
denounced as tyrants, thieves, but
chers, cut-throats, and hirelings, and
whose efforts to save the Union, they
declared a failure. What else could
induce them to try to cover up their
own tracks, and repudiate their own
history as a party. .
The truth is the Democratic party
is in the agonies of death. Already
the death dew has settled upon its
brow, and it is now making one last
convulsive effort to slay the ravages
of the grim monster. But its efforts
are in vain; the loyal people cf this
nation have placed the pale signet
upon its brow. ' Democracy has com
mitted the unpardonable sin, by at
tempting to destroy the government.
.Gea. Grant, aa the standard bearer
of the true nnd loyar masses ef the
nation, will sweep tb cosnt ry from

7 1 The monthly statement of the
national debt, wears a highly en-j
couraging appearance, la r ebruarj
the principal of the debt was reduced,
during the month, to the extent of
$7485,75 1 r iu the same" period the
treasury paid out ! '$8,'l3i,2I2 more
specie than it received' and yet the
cash on hand was $308,144 more
than at the commencement of the 1
mouth. .The funding process, too, is
progressing finely, $18,701,950 being
changed from temporary to perma.
neut form during the month. - Here
we have something tangible an act
ual payment, during one month, of
nearly eight -millions of the publ ic I
dell. Conld a better answer' be
made, to the dismal Democratic
prophecies concerning the national
finances? . . The government of the
United States is far from bankruptcy.
This . achievement clearly demon
strates that the income and resources
of the treasury exceed the ; demands
upon it; and these demands will grow
less v every , month. Despite the
howlings and hootings of rebels and
copperheads, the national debt is be
ing gradually and certainly diminish
ed. We can and ice tcill pay every
dollar we owe. : The industry and
business of this country are full of
vigor. The spring opens with signs
of unusual .activity. ? Our resources
are inexhaustible; the energies of our
people are without parallel. Pros
perous beyond precedent we must be;
and 'prosperity is tchal pays debts, pri
vate and public.
Hon. Alvin Flanders writes a
long letter to the Transcript on the
status of the claims agaiust the Gov
ernment on account of the Indian war
of 1853 '56.' The question has been
so often discussed that it ought to be
thoroughly understood by all, yet it
seems but few Congressmen know
anything of equity in the case. When
the matter was before Congress for
adjustment, things were very differ
ent from the present. The Demo,
crats had complete control of every
branch of the government, and true
to the instincts of that party, which
has ever been prone to oppose every
thing like equal and exact justice to
all, our claims were cut down more
than fifty per cent, by an arbitrary
man the Third Auditor and his
unjust action was connived at and
sustained by democratic heads of de
partments, aud a democratic Presi
dent. Flanders, in poking at this
nest, has stirred up a lot of old foss
sils whose hatred is intense, but the
Trancrpl says he will work at it
earnestly.
Who fight against impeachment?
The whole rebel army, vanquished
by Grant and Sherman.
The sympathisers with treason in
the North.
All the enemies of the draft.
All the enemies of the National
debt.
All those who rejoiced in the as
sassination af Abraham Lincoln.
All those who gloried ia the treach
ery of Andrew Johnscn.
All the assailants of Grant, Sher
man, Sheridan, Sickles. Geo. II.
Thomas, and other patriots, and every
enemv of liberty in the old world.
We have often referred to the
rapid increase of Brick Pomeroyism
in the Democratic party. This is
evident to the most superficial obs
server. As a further illustration of
the spreading influence of this spirit,
we quote from an acknowledged or
gan of the Democracy at Umatilla,
the following sarcastic hit:
" Who stole a -picture of Gen.
Grant from our sanctum sanctorum
i. e., our ordinary, or office, or what
ever else you choose to call it
whrre we hung it to ease our labors
Who supposes that the editor of
the Press has his sanctum sanctorum,
ordinary or office elsewhere than in
somebody7s privy. His very paper
stinks! That's what he means; and
that's what we say.
The New York democratic
papers speak of the great boss of the

1 The Record learns that Hon. J.
II. Mitchell and Hon. Lansing Stout
will commence a tour through the
valley, delivering addresses on the
subject of the railroad being so rapid
ly constructed on this side of the riv
er, the grading of .which will bo com
pleted to Milwaukie this week. Rail
road meetings will be held in Linn
county by Mr. Douthitt, and Mr.
Chenoweth is agitating the subject in
Benton. An effort will be made to
arouse the public mind on this side
of the river to as earnest effort as
is being made in Washington and
Yamhill counties.
Some people argue that a rail
road through Oregon city would kill
it. Please tell us what Oregon city
has at stake to lose by such an en'
terprise as that. Pailroads never re
tard industriousness and not one ex
ample can be produced, to show that
a place like f this was ever injured by
railroads. The history of railroads
show that men and places, dead to en.
ergy, have been brought to real life
and activity by fhe very sound of
the irou horce rnttling by.
Not long since a dispatch from
the East told us that Congress had
voted against any more aid to rail
roads. A private letter from Wash

tradicts this report. A resolution
was offered in the House, tending to
such a result, but it did not pass
and no action has been taken upon

The New Jersey legislature passed

Comfort for Lawless Traitors.
When the Southern Seccders, and
northern Democrats, were dissema
nating political ideas which were in.
tended to prepare the way for the ful
fillment of their cherished plans, they
were also looking out for their lives
in caso they should fail in their un
dertaking. Just before his final with
drawal from the" United States Sen
ate, John C. Breckinridge made a
speech to the people of Kentucky in
which he said :
44 If, for instance, I should think it
my duty to join in this work of rev
olution, and if it should fall to my lot
to be captured on tlie field of battle,
you canuot try me as a traitor, you
must treat me as a prisoner of war."
Here is an attempt to reconcile
the unquestioned right of revolution
with the absurdities of secession.
The faithless betrayer of his coun
try wanted to show that, though he
should violate, yet he could not be
made amenable to the laws. This is
an exceedingly comfortable doctrine
for a lawless traitor. It prevails too,
just now, to a great extent, in the
minds of their abetters, as is evinced
by the tenderness with which they
woud have the guilty dealt with.
From this position, is not a single
step to that held by those who claim
to be free from all the restraints of
law. Quoth the apostle before he
took up arras, ' if I join in this revo
lution and you capture me, yon can
not try me as a traitor." Answers
