SALEM. TUESDAY, SEPT.., J
WHO IS COHBtPT?
Pbarisecism Is what's the matter
Vith the "personal organ," now. Yes
terday morning, the person who puts
Mr. Corbett's ideas in shape for him,
had much to sny about corrupt means
employed by, Mr. Mitchell to secure
his election. Mr. Corbett through bis
amanuensis made his. face long; made
broad bU phylacteries; held up his
hands; elevated his voice and Went for
"corruption " ,1a . a self right
eous way that was never excelled
by anyliody since ? tho days . of
the original Pharisee. . We do not
know much about the means that Mr.
Mitchell may have employed to secure
his friends, because we have. not been
very much with him, since this cam
paign begunbnt we have an idea tliat
he is qntte as honest and fair as the
average of men who are engaged in
one way or another m this or any for
mer Senatorial contest. Perhaps Mr.
Mitchell would not himself claim to
be more than this. He is not much in
the hypocritic, sanctimonious way.
Few men, we presume, wholly de
cline to use Inducements to gain and
retain supporters. If Mr. Corbett
deprecates such courses, his strikers
here, who are promising all the public
offices iii the btate in case he is elected,
should receive his rebuke. We make
no charges against him ; yet tliere are
things of tl past which cannot but be
remembered. It is well known that
Mr. Corbett either rewarded or at
tempted to reward with office every
member Instrumental in breaking up
tbe caucus and securing his election in
1864. It would seem to be quite pos
sible for ostentation of political p'sty
to develop into Phariseeism.
ABOUT tWlIIPllM IX." '
Mr. Corbett's personal organ
pleased to speak of what tlie States-
Mas says as an effort to "whip in
the Republicans to tbe support of Mr
Mitchell for U. S. Senator. Whether
this conies in tlie shape of an open
charge or insinuation, it is not true.
We have not said one word by way ol
"whipping in" for Mitchell, though
we have urged something both in favor
and in defence of him. The main
point with us is the preservation and
unity of the Republican parly. W
have insisted and do insist that the
Republicans ought to act in concert
that the minority must give way to the
majority ; that a minority which re-
tnses to do this is responsible for a se
rious hurt to the party ; that it must
answer to the party lor whatever dis
organization may follow ; that its con
duct is wrong m wliatever view it is
taken, and utterly indefensible. Tltese
and other things We have urged, for
the good of the Republican party, and
not for tbe benefit of any one man
If by the course we have advised, Mr,
' Corbett should be the successful man
we have no word ot fault to And.
doing light is going to be to the ad
vantage of Mitchell it does not follow,
in our political or moral code, that
men are to be therefore justified in
doing wrong. If we have used any
whip, it is : tbe whip of truth and
justice.
A DAT or two since tlie "personal
organ" denied again, with its usual
recklessness, that Senator Corbett was
elected as tins result of a ;aiunis- Thre
was a eaucui; Corbett was nominated
by a caucus, and he couldn't have been
elected In any other way. There were
nearly thirty men in the caucus. They
voted for a dozen different men alter
Corbett had made it impossible to elect
Oilibs. We could name two. or three
men who obtained nearly enough votes
in that caucus to elect them, in the
joint convention. We are astoulslied
tliat Senator Corbett should permit his
personal organ to make such state
ments when his own friends, if put on
the witness stand, would convict it - of
falsehood. Corbett knows well enough
tliat everything that was done to elect
him was done through Uie agency of a
caucus. Then, caucus was all right;
now caucus don't snit Mr. Corbett. He
prefers, rather than be defeated through
submitting his claims to tbe represen
tatives of the party, to burst the party
into fragments. That is the kind of a
Republican Mr. Corbett is in 1972.
THE faEglfcETHAL CAXPAH.3.
Horace Greeley, who came into tlie
field with 6 much ec'utt as the nom
inee of two Conventions, is now vir
tually out of the Presidential struggle.
No intelligent person expect him to
be elected, dr believes he stands a ghost
of a chance to obtain the prize for
which he has abused himself. The
lieavy pnil of the race is Over ; from
this time forward 'the Republican can
didate will canter over tlie course.
Greeley has brought no strength to the
Democratic party, lie does not even
bring out tlie consolidated strength of
that party. Every election that has
transpired since his rumination lias
proved a disaster, whose blighting ef
fects are telling upon the remainder of
the campaign.
It Is evident tliat tlie country U sat
isfied with tbe Republican party, or,
at all events, it prefers 'to trust that
party to any other.. It believes that
the cries of tbe Administration's op
ponents are baseless, and give no rea
son for change. Hence the people
stand by Grant, and lesolve to re -elect
him. Doubting souk, Who did not be.
neve that the Republican party could
go safely through this campaign, now
their mistake. Presumably, when
a free people steadily support a party,
that party It worthy. It is a verdict
from which no appeal can be taken,
A whiter iu Corbett's personal
organ, over tlie signature of "Fair
Play," charges that Mr. Mitchell, in
1869, assembled with seventeen of his
friends, after be had been defeated In
caucus, and counseled with tliem to
defeat Glbbs; that he continued to
bus advice tbem till all the Republi
can members, or within on of all, bad
agreed to go for Corbett. We are au
thorized by members of that Legisla
ture who were Intimate friends of
Mitchell, and who constantly bad his
confidence, to pronounce the ttate
inenf of FatruPTay, fan Infamous
falsehood. There was no such meet
ing of seventeen or any other number
at any time for any snch purpose.
Mr. Mitchell did not counsel seventeen
or any other number to withhold their
votes from Mr. Glbbs. On the con
trary bo counselled W to vote for
' Glbbs.; The story of "Fair Play" Is
wholly an Invention.
' TnE Albany Democrat is piping for
Corbett; every other Democratic news
paper pipes for Corbett. Why Sim
ply because Corbett advises a course
that will disorganize and destroy the
Republican pSrty. ; Democrats know
tlie effect which . .' Ms course will
liave if he .succeeds,; aud, bonce they
pat Corbett on tlie back and ay "Bully
for Corbett !" '
Alt UTEKUBDLEB.
The Sacramento Union ha been for
over four years a pestilent disorganiter,
i It contributed what it could, toward
! the defeat of the Republican party and
; the election of H. II. Uaigtit !h 18G8.
; It istiow arrayed against two of the
regular Republican candidates for Con
gress, In Califorjiia, and counselling
Republicans to Vote tor the hybrid can
, didates. It is arrogant, unscrupulous
and defiant of the jwrty to which it pro
; fesses So belong. - Being what It is and
haviug done What it lias, it is entirely
in keeping with its past record wheu
it assnmes the character of an Inter-
meddler in the Oregon Senatorial elec
tion and advises Oregon Republicans
to pay no heed to the will ot the major
ity fif tbe Republican party, but to go
with what it understands to be Cor
bett's policy an alliance of a few Re-
publicans with tlie Democrats to secure
his election.
Evidently, the Union has founded
the article to which we refer, upon
all?
what somebody has written it from Or
egon. Tlie spirit of the article is oppo
sition to railroad corporations. In de
tails it is full of absurd errors as to facts.
It snarls and snaps viciously right and
left as if it were in the midst of a vlru
lent attack ot rabies, and makes itself
immensely ridiculous to all Oregon
readers by its ignorance of the Oregon
situation, and especially so by institu
ting a comparison between Corbett's
and Mitchell's intellectual calibre.
sums up the comparison with: 4,Cor.
belt is infinitely his suiK-rior." We
can scarcely imagine whence such
conclusion could have come, except
from Corbett's own immeasurable van
ity which towers conspicuously above
every other trait and which is precise
ly in Inverse ratio to his futelkctna
littleness. Wc have not liitliertocarecl
to institute any comparisons between
tin: two men in regard to ability; where
the two men are known, it would be
work of supererogation; contrast is the
onlv thing tlMit would do. Let tin
lawyers and literary men and legisla
tors of Oregon sjieak and say whether
the Union is truthful when it calls Mr.
Mitchell a "small lawyer." Iu intel
lectual calibre, he is among the fii-st in
the State, while we may meet a thous
and men on the street before we lincl
the ".equal" in intellectual feebleness
of the man whom tlie Union so be
slavers with praise.
But we particularly wish to call at
tention to tlie Union's concluding sug
gestion. It says: "But if Corbett
can't le re-elected then let us hope
that there is truth in the report from
Washington that Attorney-General
Williams Is to be successful as a com
promise candidate." Lest this allu
sion might lead some pertous to think
tliat Judge Williams could under some
possible circumstance sympathize with
Corbett's present disorganizing atti
tude, we will here give an extract from
a letter written by him at Washington,
August 17th, 1S62, to a member of tlie
Legislature. He says :
"I have nothing to ask, except that
the Republicans of the Legislature
will harmonize, meet in caucus nomi
nate the man the majority prefers, and
all join in ills election. I do not wish
tbe nomination for myself.
I liave received information that an
effort is on foot to induce some ot the
Republicans to join with t)ie Demo
crats and defeat our caucus nominee.
I hope that no Republican will listen
to any such suggestion."
That is Judge Williams' position as
a consistent, true Republican. It is
not, however, the position of the pes
tilent disorganizer and habitual bolter.
the Union ; nor is it the position of
Mr. Corbett. Let Republicans say
which is right.
A PARALLEL CAKE.
The "personal organ" has referred
to the State Central Committee as be
ing composed of a majority of Corbett
men. We don't know whether that is
true or not but if it is, what of it ?
They were not appointed with any
reference to the Senatorial election,
aud they have nothing to do with it,
any more than the same number of
other private members of the party
But in this connection let us present a
supposed case for the consideration of
Republicans in general. The Com
mittee met the other night to repre
sent the Republican party and to de
termine tchat should be done and how
it should be done. As Is nearly al
ways the case in evety association of
men there were differences of opinion
upon the matters under consideration"
One raau urged one thing; another
urged a different thing. Aow sup
pose that any two or three of them
had set up their dictum that things
should be done precisely their way, or
they would not act with tlie Commit
tee ; and should defend such course
with the argument that each man of
the Committee must be permitted to
enjoy his own individual opinion and
to act upon it we want to know how
the Committee could have continued to
act as a Committee, or how it could
have represented the Republican par
ty. Instead of doing anything of that
sort, however,the Committeemen came
together, (just like a caucus or conven
tion) exchanged views, each man pro
fessing his . willingness to sub
mit to the judgment of tlie
majority, " and thus determina
tions were arrived at, without the least
trouble, and such as wc believe will be
for the good of the party. Does any
body say that tlie Committee did not
do exactly as it should liave done
" Does any good Republican rebel and
say he wont stand it? If so, what good
Republican stands ready to defend
such rebellion t Why should not the
Republican members of the Legislature
who represent the party In tlie choice of
Senator, go about the matter in the
same. way the committee adopted? We
opine that If a minority ot tlie commit
tee had refused to settle matters by
a majority vote, tliat majority would
have claimed tbe right to act. notwith
standing, and that such majority would
have been sustained by the Republi
cans of the State. ' The same judgment
will apply to the proceedings of the
Republicansi u the Legislature in all
matters of a party character.
The Mllwaukle Sentinel says: "The
canvass in Indiana Is progressing with
decided warmth. Probably In most
parts of the State as good work was
never done before. Recent advices
are highly encouraging. Tippecanoe
county says she will give Grant an in
creased majority ; Wayne county will,
as usual, stand in the front rank ; Cass
county has many Democrats who will
not support Greeley; Bartholomew
county claims that she holds but three
"Liberals" all told, and similar re
ports are coming up from all parts of
the State. Indiana will be carried for
Grant."
The Republican candidates for
Presidential Electors, in pursuance of
arrangements made by the State Cen
tral Committee, will each canvass his
own district, aud will see tliat there be
held at least one mass meeting in each
count-, between uowand tlie Novem
ber election.
The exact meaning of the position
taken by Mr. Corbett and his hired
men in the "personal organ" is that a
small minority ot Republicans in the
Legislature has a better right to say
who shall be Senator than has a large
majority. ' Thirty-five of the forty-
three members have said I hat the prop
er way to choose a candidate is to go
into a caucus of Republicans, nomin
ate him and then in good faith elect
him, when they go into joint conven
tion. Mr. Corbett with eiijht men
(that is the proportion of caucus and
anti-caucus men at present) declines to
submit to that majority and defies tlie
will of the party. To go into caucus
or not to gi even if it be admitted to
be merely a question of policy belongs
to tlie party to decide. How can eight
men justly claim the right to decide it
one way, while thirty-five desire to de
cide it tlie other? How can it be de
cided upon fair or just terms unless it
le submitted to all, and then the voice
ot the majority be taken for the law of
One of Corbett's hired men claims in
Corbett's riersoiial organ tliat two-
thirds of the Republicans of Oregon
are in favor ot Corbett. We are sur
prised that the hired man did not cite
hi proof ot this, the fact that his master
has much trouble to keep eight of the
forty-three Republican members out of
caucus where the Senator believes he
would be unable to get over one-third
of all the members. It is true, thi
wouldn't be verv conclusive proof, but
it would be fully asgood us the staple
otthe Dersonal organ's argument. How
many are for Corbett oi how many are
for Mitchell, is not the question. How
many are tor preserving and cement
ing the party; linw many are for giv
ing to tlie Republican party the choice
of Senator; or on the other ham', how
manv are in favor ot a small minority
ruling or 'ruining the party; how many
are willing to a- tliat the eliotce or a
majority shall not be elected these
and Mmilar ones are the questions that
are going before tie Republican party
ot Oregon, and the members and all
others interested will have to answer
them.
A FAIAK AS.M MPTIOJI.
Senator Corbett's personal orgnn in
dulges iu the extravagant and utterly
foundatioiiless assumption that a ma
ority of the Republicans ot Oregon
ire in favor of Corbett's re -election, st
talks about this Senatorial struggle as
a "contest between the people of Ore
gon and a would-be monopoly,"' etc.,
meaning thereby that the people are for
Corbett, and against Mitchell. oth-
insr could be wider of the truth. The
iissumptiou is absurdly ridiculous
Proof is better than assertion; and the
proof lies In the fact that though Cor
bett has been for nearly six years "set
ting up" things for his own re-election,
tlie Republican members of this LegU
lature are, by a veiy large majority
against him, and he :is compelled ei
ther to fall back upon Democratic votes
to elect him, or retire from the contest
If the hired man ol the personal organ
means that Corbett is the choice of the
Democracy, we fail to see how tliat
fact can recommend him to tlie Repub
licans of the State.
Mr. Corbett and his hired men claim
tliat a majority of the Republicans ot
Multnomah county are tor him. Again,
tlie proof is that every member of the
Multnomah delegation is tor Mitchell.
The tact is, also that, Corbett's frien ls
made a direct issue for him in tlie Re
publican primaries last spring; rod
that his vote was tlie most inconsider
able both relatively and in point of
actual votes cast for his delegates, ever
cast in Multnomah county lor many
years, for any candidate of respectable
standing in tlie Republican party. Cor
bett was beaten more than five to one.
It has been said by Corbett aud his
friends that they were beaten by im
ported votes. There is no show of
foundation for this ; for Mr. Corbett's
vote did not amount to one-quarter of
tbe usual vote cast in the Republican
primaries. Half or more of the votes
cast tor Mitchell's delegates might be
knocked off from the account and lie
would still have two votes or more to
one vote for Corbett. Tlie sum total
of Corbett's vote lias often been exceed
ed by the votes cast in Portland lor
each of tlie two rival candidate tor
the nominatioii to petty city offices
These are facts which can be sustained
by the published figures.
Again: The representatives who fa
vor a t aucns and the settlement within
tlie party ot the rival claims of comiet-
itors. are receiving the most indubita
ble evidence that I heir constituents sus
tain and approve their position. We
have yet to hear of any one of them be
ing rebuked by their constituent. On
the contrary, we do know tliat they are
receiving dozens upon dozens of letters
expressing the strongest hope that they
will stand firmly by tlie party organi
zation and its usages. How many of
Corbett's supporters can say as much?
Xecd we speak of the address from
Lane county ?
This argument of Corbett's that the
people are for him, is iu no way sup
ported. If they were for him, it is pre
sumable that tbe representatives wouljjl
be for him, also. There is uo more
ground for belief that the Mitchell rep
resentatives are falsely representing
their constituents than tliat the Corbett
men are flolnir it. Tlie highest possi
ble evidence of what the' masses of tbe
Republicans want, iu this behalf, is
what their representatives say, who are
just fresh from the eople.
Corbett's strikers are much exercis
ed lest a Senator may be chosen who
will be"in tlie Interest of corporations

TWO PICIVRES.
Mr. Corbett's new organ, the Demo
cratic Mercury, says :
'Mr. Corbett is a man whose integ
rity has never lieen attacked by even
bis bitterest enemies."
1 hat sounds first-rate; but there is
evidently a mistake somewhere. Tlie
last Legislature. overwhelmingly
Democratic, by II. J. R. No. 13.
charged Senator Corbett with having
"misrepresented the people of Ore
gon ;"of having palpably violated the
Constitution of the United States
with having voted to "overthrow ami
subvert civil liberty :" with having
consigned the citizens of several State
to an "odious and despotic military
dictatorship unknown to our Constitu
tion;" with having "betrayed and
misrepresented the people ot thi
State ;" with having been "actuated
by unworthy partisan motives," etc..
etc. And that Legislature havin
piled np these and similar charges In-
volvinsr the additional, n-;ivc charge of
a violation of his olHcial oath, solemn
ly demanded of Corbett that he resign
his office. It seems to us that we cm
remember an instance in which tlie
Senators integrity was attacked and
rather severely, too.
If anything were wanted to identi
ty Senator Corbett with political dis
organized of every shade, it would be
found in the fact that the whole crowd
of this class is supporting him. A
paper called the "Pantagrajih." pub
lished at Roseburg, a professed Repub
lican sheet, quotes approvingly from
tlie speech delivered at Eugene City,
by Judge Shaft tick, one of the Greeley
electors, against the enforcement of
party usage, and applies the strictures
of that habitual bolter and disorganize
(and now Democratic candidate) to
those Republicans in the Legislature
who believe in adhering to party rules
and maintaining their party organiza
tion. Last week Mr. Corbett liad ex-
Governor Whiteaker iu his caucus as
a political nracie ; and now, his lieu
tenant who joins the business of edit
ing the Pautngmph to his duties in
the Land Office at Roseburg. quotes
Greeley elector to sustain and justify
Mr. Corbett. It is easy to see where
all this tends. Corbett, Whiteake
and Shattuck all in the same boat to
gether !
A paragraph in Mr. Corbett's per
sonal organ insinuates Uhe hired man
has not the manliness to make the
charge direct.) that Mr. Mitchell has
said "Wliatever is Ben Holladay's pol
itics is my polit ics, and whatever Ben
Holladay wants, I want." This lie
was first started among the pious and
self-righteous strikers now at work,
here, for Corbett. It has already been
crammed down the throat, of one of
these strikers; but though he, the in
ventor, was made to retract, the lie
now appears in the "personal organ."
A candidate for the United States Sen
ate wiio puts np his hired men to ut
ter such falsehoods as this, is iu far
greater danger of losing his position
among gentlemen, than of being elect
ed to the Senate.
Even the Mountaineer which has
never hail any very strong partizan bi
as but which now supports Grant, dis
apiwoves ol Corbett's proposed alliance
with tlie Democracy, and expresses its
preference for Mr. Mitchell. It says
of tlie latter: "Our choice is Mr. Mitch
ell, because he is a scholar and a states
man, and the peer of any man in the
United States Senate, lie lias the ed
ucation aud ability, with sufficient am
bition, to become one of the. most
jK oininent statesmen in these United
States aud we hope he will be elected."
Last evening a special edition of the
Mercury, (Democratic) published obvi
ously in the iuterest of Mr. Corbett,
and probably at his expense, made its
appearance. Is anything further need
ed to identify Mr. Carbett's Senatorial
interests, virtually with the Democrat
ic party? Why does this new "per
sonal organ" plead for Corbett and
urge its party to support him ? Sim
ply to disrupt the Republican party.
Senator Corbett's personal organ
of yesteiday has a correspondence un
der the head ot "Corbett and Mitchell
Contrasted," some portions of which
sound remarkably like Corbett's speech
at the Opera IIoue, tlie other night.

THE KEPl'BLH'AX PREVI.
Leaving out of the count the Demo-cratie-Greeley
newspapers of the
State, the only respectalbe jontialop
porting the demoralizing and anti-Republican
course of Senator Corbett, is
the Senator's own personal organ.
We have heretofore iesented some
extracts from nearly all tlie Republi
can journals, urging the members of
the Legislature to ob-ierve the party
usage by going into caucus ami sub
mitting to the decision pf the majority.
u the matter of tlie elettioti of an U.
S. Senator, vt ithout exception, they
have firmly and earnestly urged this
is the only fair way of deciding the
laims of Republican aspirants ; ns the
only way of assuring the integrity
and success of the party. The Jack
sonville Sentinel of this week expresses
the following emphatic opinions of
the matter :
The Republicans bong in the ma
jority, which fact wa known to flic
Republican masses lrig be tore the
election took place, eleited tln-ir Sena
tors and Kepresentativn with the lull
understanding that upon them would
devolve the duty of i hooding our next
IT. S. Senator. A tmiinrif v ot the vot
ers of this State, confiding in the good
judgment and wisdom of the Republi
can members ot the Legislature, gave
tliem their hearty snpport. Every
Republican in the Statti knows tliat he
voted with the express- UDilerttaudirig
that tlie wish ot a majority ot the Jie
ixihliraus elected to tlie Legislature
lioulu govern the votes and actions ot
all the members of the party npon the
Senatorial question, so, too. does ev
ery N-nator and Representative know
that tip was elected with that nntler-
stauding.
Kverv aspirant has an Undisputed
right to lay his claims before the party
and urge his own nomination ; but at
ter tlie convention is over and the nom
ination made, no true Republican will
rehire to supnrt the regular nominee.
Acitlicr will any Honest Republican
oppose tin1 holding of a convention for
the purpose of making tlie nomina
tion, for to oppose such a proceeding
is nothing short ot violating an implied
agreement that was entered into iu
good faith by ever3 Republican voter
on tlie .id ot -inne last.
Whoever opposes thi course opposes
tliat which is I nraiiil honorable, and
it he be a 'iepnbliean. bctravs the p ir-
ty that has given him support. It is
to lie hoped that no Republican that
has received the support of his party
will prove himself so ungrateful. If
tliere should be such he must tie brand
ed as one loving self better than prin
ciple siK'cess more than honor. It
cannot, be claimed with any show of
sincerity on the part of him who sets
it up that a Republican who opposes
the caucus system, and who is not
nominated by the Republican party in
caucus, i-i the choice of the people of
the State- if he should lie elected by re
ceiving enough Republican votes
which, if added to the whole number
of Democratic votes would give him a
ma jority of the votes of both Houses
of the legislature. For if we admit
the affirmative of the above proposition
to lie true, then any Republican, by
making secret, concessions to trie Dem
ocratic nictntiers of the Legislature,
when they are in the minority, and
tampering with tlie political honesty
of the Republican members, ean secure
to him.'!t'.-iii election in opposition to
the wish of a majority of tlie party in
the ascendancy, and hence in oposi
tion to the will of the people of the
State.
The question to In; decided within
the next five days is, shall the major
ity of the Republicans, ami with them
a majority of the people of the State,
elect a :eiiator of their own choosing?
If we cannot do this, then our hard
earned victory has ultiinated iu defeat,
and no one is satislied save a few
who expect a large revvanl for
their treason. The jlitii"il aspirant
who does not feel himself honorably
bound to abide the decision ot hi iar-
tv had better leave it and go to the op-
po-ition, where may find a more ge
nial ctime.

MR. MITCHELL'S ACCEPTANCE.
The Committee having waited upon

"Mr. President. Fellow Republi

to say that I cheerfully actpt the nom

ly made by you and and should that

your fellow Republican member now
abs3iit, as I have no doubt it will be,
and should I be called upon to act a

L'Hrhf Council ot tlie nation, although
I siiould approach the peifortusii.ee of
the important duties ot ttiat exaneu

that a spirit of good feeling and-har-mouv,

and integrity of purpose to lielieve
that thov'will yet deem it for Hie best
interests of our whole party to eheer

of tlie majority.
To those Itenuclican members of the
Lenlatre who have given their influ

ent time. I cheerfully accord motives
prompted by judgments looking to the
highest aisl l-st interest oi toe ie
publican party, and the material pros
perity of the whole State. I should
have"! wen gratified with their support
from the first, but I am capable. I trust.
oi'holding in high regard an open, man

an one will ciieernuiv iie-iusce in me
decision of a ni.ijorily. It is within
the party licit all diilerenii's of opinion

Tlx; preservation of harmony in, and
the ierKtuitv of the Republican party
are of infinitely more uiqiortance to
the people of tins State and .Nation
than is tlw personal promotion ol any
livinff man. And it is alone by stand
ing togetluT as a unit, strong and
one mail, tliat the Republicans iu the
present Legislature will tie enabled to
maintain the harmony and promote
the welfare of the Republican iiartv
And I liave full pride in tbe political
integrity, and the faith patrotism ot
every Republican inciulier of tlie pres
ent legislative Asemlilv to oelieve
thattliey will, forgetting their personal
preferences unite as one mail, and
thus Kxnre a complete triumph to the
Republican party of this State in tlie
approacemg senatorial election.
In doieg this you give a migh
tv impulse, an irresistible tim
ulu to that patriotic influence
now pervading the public mind, and
which will continue to increase in
power all over the land until Grant
and Wilson, our present National
Standard Bearers, are triumphantly
elected.
But I did not intend to make
speech. So. again thanking you
sincerely, gratefully for this generous
manifestation ot your confidence aud
esteem. I bid you good night, hoping
and trusting that all your delilicratiniis
.may ! characterized by that true
spirit of concession and harmony so
essential to the preservation of the
unity of tlie Republican party and the
general good of the State anil nation.
On motion of Mr. Mallory the fol
lowing address was unanimously
adopted :
"Pursuant to the Constitution, the
Congress has ly law invidcd the time
and mode of choo-ing Senators to rep
resent tln resjiective States. In com
pliance with the provision of that
law. tlie Legislative Assembly of the
Suite ol Oregon will lie required to
morrow to ca-t its vote for a ierou to
efill that otlice. for six years from the
Ithdiy of March. 17-1. A somewhat
radii-al ditfi reiuv of opinion has exist
ed among the Kepuhlu-au member of
tin- Legislature, as to what is the
be-t and proper course to lie pursued
in selecting a person to be voted
for by the Republican iu their respec
tive " I louses, ,i well a in Joint
Convention, a large majority amoiit
iig to nearly three-foiith of
ail the Republican in the I.cgi
lature,. favoring the ciucu. and
tin- remaining members opposing it.
A lare majority of the Republicans
of the Legislature recognizing the ne
cessity of unity of action to en-iire
Mieces and to av"id defeat, and recog
nizing, also, the fundamental t'octriiie
upon which our government is based,
that majorities niii-t rule, and not un
mindful of the fact that it was through
the use of the party machinery of cau
cuses and conventions, that they were
selected to represent the people iu the
Legislative Halls, met iu raucu pur
suant to the call of it President after
public not ice thereof had been given
in both Houses of the Legislature, on
the 2:ld inst.. aud by a vote of three
fourths ot all the Republican meniN'i-s
of the Legislature, nominated Hon.
John II . Mitchell, to lie voted for a
the. Republic-ill candidate for U. S.
Senator.
It Is now most earnestly hoped that
the nomination will meet the approba
tion and secure the united snpHrt of
all the Republican members of the
Assembly. That a nomination made
by such a majority is tlie best indica
tion ot the choice ot the Republican
parly, cannot with reason he disputed.
Personal preferences ought to lie given
up, and the will of the. majority be
obeyed, it we hone to maintain our
organization or ever achieve success as
a party The contest, has been long
and animated ; but since it i
impossible that all should win.
there is no other ride for settling who
the winner shall !xcilh rin principle or
by precedent, than by the majority
Let this lie done, and we shall demon
strife not only to tlie wily foe who n
most ambitious to compass our defeat.
but more especially to our faithful con
stituency, that we can not only win a
victory but preserve for them its
lruits.'"

delivered last Wednesday evening, lie
there unmistakably denned his position
to lie intensely hostile to the railroad
interests of Rogue River Valley, and
he tliere took occasion to bitterly de
nounce Senator Williams for opposing
his Sagebrush scheme. I think the
Representative of Southern Oregon
will be found voting together on tpie

XEWKPAPERH.TIIAT FIvOP.
The Xaiion, after dicnsing very
thoughtfully the question of jiersonal
jKipularity.' treats ot the more compli
cated question of the popularity of a
journal iu the following language:
It is no more in tin- power of a news
paper than of a public man to carry its
public suddenly round sliarn corners
and up unknown byways. 'Hie woik
of creating conviction, and liabits of
thought in our minds is necessarily a
slow' oue. An able man or an able pa
per mav do it by the labor of long
years; but what it lias taken years to
ilo it will Like years to undo. To at
tempt to induce even the nnxt loyal
and devoted constituency to change an
old isiiitiutl creed or to take up a new
political standpoint iu a few weeks or
few month, is to undertake ene of the
mot dillicult of tasks; and yet on this
task, or something like it, two of our
great newspapers liaveentered. Unless
American society has undergone some
radical change, and human nature it
self a very marked one, we can hardly
doubt what the result will be. The
World is trvikir to persuade Democrats
that Horace Greeley i a wise and no
ble man. aud the Tribune is trying to
persuade Republicans that the Demo
cratic party is an liouest, upngnt auu
thoroughly enlightened organization.
Both may be right; but if they succeed
iu ntirsiiildinir the nubliclhat tliey are.
anil wholly escape the indignation of
their supporters, they will tair netter
