Sometimes we hoar men, Demo crals as Avell as Republicans, talk -about the Constitution of the tTnitetl States as though there Avas really such a thing in existence, re spected and revered as such. What fin unfortunate illusion ! It k true, that away "back in 1787, a convention composed o such men as Georgo Washington, Tlufus King, Alexander Hamilton, Robert Morris, Georgo Clymer, Charles Pinckney and James Mad ison, duly elected by the people for that purpose, framed an instru ment known as the Constitution of the United States. That mstru- -ment was submitted to the people of the then thirteen States, and by the legislatures of the respective States ratified and adopted as their Constitution. Since that time, many other States have been add- . cd to the original thirteen, joining the Union under the rights and protections guaranteed by that Constitution. And from the time 8f its first adoption until within a few years past, it was regarded by the people of the United States, not only as the supreme law of the land to which all subsequent haws had t,r conform. Tmfc .is tho. very foundation of this govern ment, and of its free institutions. If Congress, or any State Legisla tures, passed any act which con flicted with it in any manner, our courts invariably held such act to be null and void, and asserted the superiority and dignity of the Con stitution. And during the time of respect for, and obedience to that - instrument, we had wholesome laws, a good government, and a ' i nappy pcopie. But, violation upon violation of, and amendment upon amendment to that instrument, have been per petrated by the party in power, until at last, the old Washington Constitution is treated as a fossil of a past age; and, in its stead, the wish of the President, and of Con. gross, form the only Constitution of the United States, recognized by the party in power. It is no longer a question of any import ance with our Radical rulers, whether any act of Congress, or of a State Legislature, conflicts with the Constitution of the United States. But, if any act ot a State Legislature is in contravention of the expressed wish of the President, or at variance with any act of Con gress, however small, it receives their immediate attention and ex periences the annihilating power of that oligarchy, by courtesy called tho Congress of the United States, Any act which accords with the latter is set down as good and loyal, however much it may violate tho Constitution. And any individual right recognized by that instrument, but the exercise of which, does not suit the President and Congress, the radical leaders 4 denounce astho vague imaginings of rebel brains and as a fit subject for immediate annihilation ; and it is annihilated. This is the elfect of quietly submitting to usuqations and encroachments on the part of Qse persons elected to represent - .and serve the people ; let us rally and yet save ourselves from the thraldon. Take away the foundation of a house, and the honse itself is wrecked. So it is in political ecoiMHBy, Bap the foundation of a government, and all the institu tions resting upon that foundation HU totter and fall. The Constitu tion (jf the United States having been virtually disregarded and cast asido by those to whom its Keeping; had ben intrusted, the free institutions built upon it are a mass of ruins, and upon puch ruins feas grown p m oligarchy and a o despotism more tyranieal than any monarchy in Europe. To talk about the -Constitution of the United States, and of liberty, when Congress arbitrarily takes from the respective States the rights guar anteed to them by that instrument, is sheer folly. It is idle nonsense o talk about liberty when the people in certain portions of the United States, are compelled by Congress to vote in accordance with the wishes of the party in power, or be deprived of the elec tive franchise altogether, and the pliant negroes substituted in their stead, and voted like so many au tomatons in support of that party. Such is the case in the Southern States. Boast of liberty all who wish, but beware ! The encroach ments of Congress have been car ricd to such an extent, and the centralization of power' in that body is so far accomplished, that the chains of despotism are now clankinc: with a horrible distinct ness. In a short time they cannot be severed by the ballot box, or any other pacific power. All we have to say then,in conclusion, is let the people understand the situa tion and act before it is too late. We will endeavor to do our part in brincincr the facts before them. MANHOOD SUFFRAGE. From the Morning Chronicle of the 17 th of August we learn that, at a joint meeting of the Grant and Colfax, and Young Men's Pro gressive Republican. Clubs, held in Georgetown, D. C, on the evening of tlic lGth of August, the follow ing resolution, among other equally loyal ones, was unanimously adopt ed, viz : Resolved, That we condemn the action of every colored man in the States of Virginia and lennessee who voted the Conservative ticket at the last election, thereby endors ing the principles of Democracy, and placing in power over them their old slave-masters. At the time the Radicals were fastening negro suffrage on the people, they solemnly declared that it was done solely for the" purpose of securincc the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion upon a permanently loyal basis, and loudly disclaimed any intention of using the negroes for partizan purposes, saying, that when en franchised they should vote just as they pleased. But now we hear a different tune. So long as the negroes vot ed the Radical ticket it was all right, and they were permitted to exercise their newly acquired right without complaint or hmderance from their radical masters, but so soon as they vote for conservative men, and with the liberal party, it is all wrong, and the policy of frightening and coercing them into the radical ranks is immediately adopted. This shows the true object the Republican party had in view when it conferred the elective fran chise upon the negro race. It was not for the jnirposc of securing the permanent loyal reconstruction of the Southern States ; it was not for the purpose of doing the country any good ; it was not for the bene fit of the black race that that party did thus ; but it was intended solely for the benefit of the Republican party, by securing a sufficient num ber of tractable voters to keep it in power. A great national evil lias been brought into exist ence by the party in power, for selfish partizan purposes. Letter op Hon. George II. Wiltjams. It ancars that the Editor of tho Oregonieui has be come somewhat FATIGUED OI1 the China question, and has accepted the assitance of the Hon. Gentle man whose name heads this article. This fact appears from a communi cation from Mr. Williams on tho subject of the Republican amend ments to the treaty with China, which appears in the Oregonian of the 7th inst. The letter is a very interesting one, but having been absent from home the greater por tion of the week, and very busv. we cannot now give it that notice which it merits ; but will do so next week. ' The late Secretary of.War,Mr. Rawlings, died in Washington on the Cth. His funeral took place on Thursday. COURTESY READ IT AND THINK. This week we publish a commu nication from JVstin Ciiexowetii, who is a thinking, honest, hard working man, being a carpenter by trade. He is a gentleman without1 political aspirations, and in politics, has nothing but the welfare of this country and its people at heart,and aside from that, cares but little, if any, for party success. Heretofore he has been an active member of the Republican party, but he now leaves that party, and joins the Democratic, for reasons which he ably gives in his commu nication. He has become fully satisfied that the Republican party lias arrayed itself in favor of the bond-holder and capitalist, and against the la boring classes ; and, in favor of the Chinese and against the industrial whites, and he is not the man to fight against his own race, for the O CD ' benefit of the Chinese, or the Re publican party. It is a well known fact that the Republican party espoused the cause of the negro with fervency, and, being in power, have invested him with all the rights enjoyed by the whites, for political purposes, and nothing else. That party lias now espoused the cause of the Chi nese with the same fervency, and undoubtedly intend to carry it to the same extent of its negro polie, and for the same purposes. Mr. Ciienowetii is a sensible man, and a patriot, and will not lend his influence and assistance to any such nefarious schemes. Let every patriot and honest man of Clackamas county read it, and think well before giving any fur- thcr assistance to the party which works so zealously for mongrcliza tion. FRA1D 'T WOULDN'T HOLD OUT. A passenger on the Little Miami Railroad Lightning Express re lates that one night a tall negro, in droll alarm about the shortening of his through ticket, accosted him as follows : " Look here, boss, I wants to ax you a question. I's a good way from home, and wants to know if Is on the right track ?" "Where do you want to go, un cle?" we asked. "To Fort Gibson, way down in Arkinsaw, sah. Xow, boss, I's ig norant, and wants to know if Ps on the right kear for Cincernati." We assured our negro friend he was all right for Cincinnati, when he broke loose as follows : "Look here, boss, I doesn't know nothin' when I'm away from home cleah fact, sah. When I started out from Washington City I had a powerful long string of dese heah" exhibiting that portion of his through ticket which had not been taken up, " Ebcry now and then a gentleman comes round and tars off' a little piece. Tell you, sah, it's git ten mighty short. 'Fraid it ain't gwine to hold out until I gets through." This last remark created quite a laugh, in which the negro joined heartily. We find the above in the Orego ?i?mofthe 4th inst. The joke is a good one, but the cream of it con sists in the fact that out of just such material as this old darkey the Radicals have made thousands of voters for the benefit of that party ; and not only so, but in or der to secure their enlightened and entire support to the Radical cause, have elected some of them to Con gress, and to other important of fices. F riends,! it is hardly right for you to hug and kiss your ebony brethren until you get their votes and then laugh at their ignorance an ignorance too, which shows that they are entirely unfit to have the elective franchise. California Election. The re ports from the California election are very meager, but the State has most assuredly gone Democratic, tor the following reasons : 1st, The Loyal Union Telegraph Company is so very tardy in report ing the result, and this would not have been the case, had the Repub lican party gained the day. 2d, So far as heard from the re sult is a Democratic triumph. Among the emigrants coming to Oregon this summer, is one fel low named Shubert, told of by the Idaho papers, who was so diabolic al and mean that he quarrelled with his wife and drove off leav ing her, with her two daughters, his step-daugiitcrs, on tne plains. The people of Idaho cared for them. Unionist, OF BANCROFT LIBRARY. To my Uara-!Iand I ISix tlircn in Toil. Some persons, of those who dif fer irom my ideas oi party polity, will probably allege that I magnify the importance of the event in heralding through the medium of a newspaper a change of party al legiance in an indiv idual of my hum ble sphere. My reason- for doing so is the hope of exerting some in fluence on the minds of others, and inducing them to go and do like wise. Under our system of gov ernment the people will always re main divided in- two leading par ties of nearly equal prominence; the legislation and administration for the time being subject to the almost entire control of only one. At this particular time the two great parties are the Republican and the Democratic. The working men of the nation, by coalition aiid co operation, can insure success to either one, and . control its action while in power. Governed by this idea let us inquire which of these parties as now organized and act ing is most- favorable to us as a class. We will ibid the Republi can party unequivocally committed to a demand for cheap labor, and high protection for certain kinds of manufacture. It holds within its ranks the chief monopolists of the country, and aids by its action the centralization of wealth in their hands. On the other side, we find the Democratic party, in favor of free-trade, or a tariff for revenue purposes only, and advocating oth er measures which tend to counter act the domination of the capitalist over the laboring classes. Thc Republican party of to-day is standing in the shoes of the pro tectionists of years past, v.' ho clam ored for protection in manufactures against the pauper labor of Eu rope, as they said. Such a system is doubtless "a nice arrangement for the capital ist, but I am unable to perceive where the benefit to the laborer comes in. By its legislation by its administration of the laws by the utterance of its press, by the speeches and acts of its leading men, the Republican party would now place us all to labor, along side the most degraded class of Chinamen creatures of human form merely, that have been taught in the stern school of necessity to be content with boiled rice or cuttle-fish broth for food, and noth ing better than a pig-sty for shel ter, and then snecringlv tell us that if we cannot thus cope with them on equal terms we only deserve to starve. Had its minions the pow er, they, might i with as much rea son, -with as much propriety, with as much justice, yoke us to the plow with the horse or ox, and when the days work was ended turn us out to the same provender and shelter as that commonly given to animals of draught. I entreat you! my fellows in thankless hope less toil, to forego your favoritism for any particular measure of minor importance, forget associations of the past; correct mistaken notions of party fealty; and absolve your selves at once and forever, from an organization founded on principles so entirely innimical to "our wel fare. Let us leave insignificant issues (used only as a blind-fold for us) to the discussion of dema gogues and dirt-eaters, and in our party associations for the future, be governed by the one leading idea of self-protection until wc ob tain some better recognition of our rights as a class. It is less impor tant for us to study now the com bination of circumstances under which Gen. Butler, as military commandant of the City of New Orleans, came to be the possessor of so many silver spoons, than to consider earnestly how we may honestly become possessed of nec essary food and clothing for our selves and families, and the means of schooling for our children. Less important too, is it for us to know with what color of horses General Grant prefers to ride or drive in state, than it is to anticipate wheth er our children shall be enabled to walk with the . color of well-fed, well-housed health in their faces. And still less important is it that we should speculate on the proba bilities of General Grant's favorite marc having died with arsenic or oats only, in her stomach, than to consider whether wc ourselves are in the way of death in the poor house under the dole of a purse proud aristocracy. JUSTIN CIIEXOWETII. Linn County Annual Fair. Wc acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary ticket to the Linn County Annual Fair, to be held at Albany from Sejtember 28th to October 1st, inclusive. The Linn county farmers are alive to their true interests. Agricultural Fairs generally beget a commendable spirit of emulation among farmers and mechanics that is not only an advantage to themselves, but a great benefit to the State. Senator Fessendcn died on the morning of the 8th, in Portland, Me. He was sensible till the hour of his death, and passed a comfort able night until 3 o'clock a. m. Telegraphic Clippings. . We clip the following items of news lroin iaiu teiegrapiuu uis patches : - . i i a j ! . I : 1 : Senator Grimes of Iowa, has sent in hi resignation to Gov. Merrill, to take effect December 15th. A Xew York dispatch of Sept. bin. says: vov. lionman iias ap pointed delegates to the Southern Convention at Louisville, October 12th. Among those appointed are Horatio Seymour, Horace Greeley, Wm. C. Rryant and other dis tinguished citizens. Three companies of militia, that hate been doing duty in the neigh borhood of Lebanon, Ky., for the past four or five weeks, returned to Louisville on the Gth. They have been relieved by a company of thirty-five or forty mounted men, from Midway. Xews from along the Arkansas and White rivers says the cotton crop is splendid. The bales open finely. Along the Mississippi for 200 miles below here, the drouth has cut the crop off. Col.. Lyman Internal Revenue Collector for Dost on, and Sheridan Shook, Internal Revenue Collector in Xew York district, have both been arrested and held to bail on charges of fraud in office. It is stated that General Sheri dan will act as Secretary of War ad interim. The name of G. W. Dodge, present Chief Engineer of the Union Pacfic Railroad at Prom ontory, is mentioned in connection with the succession of the office. A Xew York special says that Rigelow and Geo. Wilkes are tltc principal candidates for the Chin ese Mission. The friends of each are very confident. Rigelow has almost entirely changed the edito rial staff of the limes. Others of the old firm arc expected to resign this week. The Englishman who paddled his canoe up the Rhine, down the Danube and Volga, has started on a similar journey from Xew York to Xew Orleans. He goes by riv er and canal to Philadelphia,- Ral timore and Washington ; thence to Pittsburg and down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. A dispatch from St. George, on the 8th, we learn that Major Powell, with the Colorado Explor ing Expedition, reached the mouth of the Rio Virgin, on the 30th, hav ing made a successful trip. Xoth ing nccccssary to the success of the explorations was lost, but every thing was with the last boat. Major Powelf passed through St. George on Sunday last, on his way to Salt Lake, going east from there. A destructive fire occurred at Uniontown, Grand Ronde valley on the night of Sunday last, resul ting in the entire loss of the store of L. Myer fcCo.; also, a livery stable owned by Judge Argirsingcr, be sides several buildings belonging to John liratton. Great efforts were made by the citizens to save the property ; but as the wind was blowing a perfect gale, all ef forts were useless. Estimates of entire loss amount to $40,000. It is not yet known how the lire origin ated. Another catastrophe occurred in a Pennsylvania ccal mine, on the Gth by fire, resulting in the loss of several lives, and damage to the works amounting to $80,000 or $100,000 not counting losses from stoppage. The following par ticulars came by telegraph : The mine had been involved in a strike for three months, but re sumed work on Thursday and was producing 450 tons of coal per day. All who have been down say it is very hot, and loud calls fail to elicit an answer. The only hope for two hundred men in the mine is that they may have shut them selves in a remote part of the works! entirely away from the draft. Several hundred men with tools were taken with the idea of driving a gang-way from the neighborhood into the Avandale works, but it must be solid rock cuttings. This would probably not relieve the imprisoned men in time. The dis tance to be cut is variously estima ted at from twenty to sixty feet, and the time required from two to three days. Since receiving the above, we have further particulars to the 8th, showing that the entire company of miners were reached on that day, through the shafl,and all were dead. Railroad enterprises in Califor nia are quite successful this year. At noon on the Tth inst. the first through train from Alameda ar rived at Stockton; it was composed of three coaches, with a fair com plement of passengers. A large number of ladies and gentlemen were assembled at the depot to meet the train on its arrival. Pas sengers speak in high praise of the condition of the road. San Fran cisco morning papers, of same day were received by the same train. now to isir.i. i'ickn. From Iho Willamette Farmer. Having heard much about kil ling fern, and had much experience in doing the same, I propose to give the readers of the Farmer a receipt for killing fern, which, if applied as I direct, I will warrant to kill, or 'no pay,' and those who have been cultivating fern for so many years, will do well to try it, instead of trying so many superfi cial ways, such as keeping it eaten off by sheep one summer, or keep ing it cut down one summer with a share harrow or fern cutter, or rolling it over with a heavy rol ler while it is young, or as Rev. Mr. 1 ., of Lane county, proposes to do, " whip it to death "in the month of June with hazel switches," (which, if not an effectual way, would give ennfloyment to many of the idle boys in the fern regions.) J laving seen all tiiese modes oi killing fern tried, except the lat ter, and know them to be failures, I will give my way, which has nev er failed. Plow your grounds ten inches deep, then raise a crop ; next plow twelve inches deep, and sow to grain again ; then plow the ground fourteen inches ; this depth will bring vou below the bed or horizontal roots, leaving only an occasional sap or center root run ning down into the earth, from which it will take many years to form another such cluster or bed ofrootsasis found to be nourished by one single sap root. These hor izontal roots lie deeper in some soils than in others; in some cases ten inches plowing will kill them ; in others, fourteen to six teen inches will be required ; and while you are thus killing the fern, you are putting your land in the best of order, and each year reaping a fine crop. Suppose the farmer succeeds in killing the fern on twenty acres each year, he will ml J reap as much from that twenty acres as from thirty or forty acres cultivated in ordinary way, and in a few years have his farm in a good state cultivation; and, if once plow ed to the depth mentioned, he will never live long enough to see it cov ered again with fern. I have proved this mode of kil ling fern, in three instances; once on the farm belonging to Hon. E. X. Cooke, in the Waldo Hills, a a few acres of which I plowed twelve inches deep, once, ten years since and the fern has not made its appearance since ; and again twenty acres one mile east of Sa lem, plowed ten, twelve, fourteen inches, which has completely sub dued the fern, leaving the ground in a high state of cultivation. If any of the readers of the Farmer have an easier and cheaper way of killing fern, I would like to hear from them, as I have ten more acres to kill this fall and next spring. E. C. ADAIR. The Unionist furnishes the fol lowing important item : On Tuesday, Dr. Carpenter's daughte r, at her own selection, sub mitted to a surgical operation both severe and painful. !6hc had two of her toes, one from each foot, taken oil" at the joint where the metartus and phalanx are joined. The deformity necessitating this operation was caused by wearing a pair of tight shoes about four years ago. About a year since the tendons that caused the toes to contract were severed, and splints applied to straighten them, but without accomplishing the object. The Dr. regrets very much that the operation had to be performed, and he desires the easy reported as a warning to parents. Persons while young at least should wear shoes large enough to allow the feet to grow along with the other parts of the body. SIA Kill 121). At the M. E. Church, Sept. 7th in Ore City by licv. J. F.
