April 18, 187S. « *| r i THK SPECIAL , ELECTION-THE PROBABLE RESILT. t w » t fi - A special election for Congress mau to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Judge Wilson will be held in this State some time during the coming fall, Each party will have a candidate in the field, and already are the merits and claims, and availability of va rious aspirants being discussed. The Republican managers are evincing considerable trepidation already. They know that upon a fair vote, the Democracy have a large majoritp of the votes of the State; and 'that if they cannot ma nipulate Portland they stand no sort of show in the race, less in deed than they did upon a fair vote last Juue a year. In addi tion to the usual questions going to make up the the theme of dis- cussion in our campaigns, the Re publican party will be coufronted with the salary steal, the Chinese influx and the Louisiana infamy. The salary steal they will have to face squarely; that will admit of no species of shuffling or evasion. The Chinese question they will attempt to evade,by resorting to the usual subterfuges of the dem agogue, They cannot escape it, however, for the Burlingame treaty» was a Republican measure and was ratified by a Republican Senate. This treaty opened up the floodgates of Coolie importa tion and lenha stiinuloun to Chi nese immigration such as, in a few jihort years, promises to over whelm us. In this State a Dem ocratic Legislature, in 1868, passed a Chinese embargo act. This was vetoed by a Republican Governor. Since that time a Republican Con gress has passed a law forbidding the enactment of anv statute in any State which shall in any way discriminate against the China man. This act was approved by a Republican President and leaves thaStates manacled and power less at the feet of the barbarian hordes which annually rush to these s’noreA And this Chinese question is every day beconing more serious and alarming. Hard times pineb the p< or of this coast. Beggary and want stare multi tudes in the face, while the rat- • eating Chinaman crowds himself into all the avenues of employ ment. The want of the times is the repeal by CongresB of the in famous Chinese protection act, leaving each State free and un trammelled to deal with such questions as affect its internal poW ity in its own way. This repeal can never be secured until the po litical complexion of Congress is changed. Let Oregon be true to her own interests, trim to herself and true to the whole country by electing a Democrat to Congress this fall. Great and needed re forms depend upon the reforma tion of our National Legislature. Our State can contribute much toward exempting herself from Congressional thralldom by her fiat this fall. Taking a calm and unimpas sioned survey of the whole field, it is not difficult to forecast with ^certainty the complete triumph of the Democracy in the coming * X.
