THE CONSTITUTION.
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.

Horatio Seymour, Horace Greeley,
Wm. C. Rryant and other dis
tinguished citizens.
Three companies of militia, that
hate been doing duty in the neigh

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

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

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

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.

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.
