Working Men's Protective Society.
0 Last week we published some- resolu
tions adopted by the Working Men' Asso
ciation of Portland, and this week we
Copy from the Herald and publish the
Cor.s'.itution and.platform of this associa
tion 5 to which we would invito particular
Attention.
The Oregonlan prctend3 to see this
organization a Democratic movement, and
therefore declines the publication of the
resolutions, Constitution and platform.
But we care not whether this society is
Democratic, Republican, mixed or neutral
in its politics ; the principles it enunciates
arc correct, and the movement is a good
one, and well calculated to accomplish
a great public beneflt, if properly pur
sued. "Within the last few years this govern
ment, has degene-ated into a bond-holdei's
moneyed Aristocracy and an Oligarch ;
and the legislation of the Oligarchy called
by courtesy, a Congress, has been shaped
expressly and almost exclusively for the
benefit of these Aristocrats. And it is
hardly necessary. to add that such legisla
tion has been unjust and oppressive to
the producing classes ; for such is always
the result in like cases. Cut to be more
explicit. The bond-holders liave been
made exempt from taxation on their bonds
for Slate, County and municipal purposes,
and at the same time the laboring and
producing classes have been oppressively
taxed for the benefit of these bond
holders for the purpose of paj ing them
their principal and interest in coin. Ye,
the soldier, who fought in the Lnion
army, as it was called ; or his widow, if
the soldier died in the army ; or the poor
person who performs manual labor for
the government, has to take greenbacks
for his pay, and is denounced as disloyal
if he complains and demurs to the depre
ciated currency. Coin for the wealthy
and greenbacks for the poor to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer, is
now the doctrine and practical operations 1
of our Radical rulers.
The effect of thio is to concentrate the
wealth of the country, and place it un
der the control of a few favored person;-.
It is a well known fact that an Aristocracy
growing out of the contraction of wealth
in a few individuals, is the first step to
wards the formation of a monarcl'y, and
that a Monarchical form of government first
manifests itself and begins to take shape
by the government granting to these fa
vored lew exemptions and privileges not
allowed to the other and poorer classes of
men.
Unfortunately for this country this
granting of exemptions and exclusive
privileges to the favored few has already
taken place as before shown.
O
IkQce we say that it is hiirU time for
the workup men to look out for them
selves and for the interests of their poster
ity, by combining and'ehecking this rapid
movement towars favoritism and a Mon
archy, and then endeavor to re-mould this
government into a Republican form.
In a Democratic form of Government
the majority has the acknowledged right to
govern. The working men form the ma
jority in this country, and can rule it if
they wish to a will net unitedly and
harmoniously.
Then in the name of Liberty, justice
and right, we bid these working men God
speed, and sincerely hope to see Working
Mens Associations spring tin throughout.
0 q the entire country ; and that tjey may
work harmoniously and for the general
public good and produce those great re
sults which will surely be the cllect of
such united action.

PIERCK.
The last sigkness of ex-President Tierce
commenced in a mild form, about five
Veks ago, at Hampton Beach. It was
not at first considered to be a dangerous
illness ; but .he grew worse rapidly, and
ia a few days way taken to his home in
Concord. His family physician, Dr. C. P.
Gage, was summoned, and he found Mr.
Pierce suffering from abdominal dropsy,
attended with alarming symptoms. Vig
orous treatment resulted in temporary re
lief. About two weeks before he died
hiccups set in seriously, and continued at
intervals for about ten day3. The drop
sical difficulty had been again relieved,
but when it set in the third time the sys
tem did not seem to respond to medical
appliances. This physical condition, join
ed with inability to take much nourish
ment, caused -Mr. Pierce to commence
sinking, and he continued gradually to
fail nnty death.
He was conscious to the last, and had
sufficient strength to converse to within
two hours of his decease. lie conversed
frequently during his sickness upon pub
lic and national matters, and expressed a
deep interest in and anxiety for the wel
fareof the country, lie talked freely of
the public men with whom he was associ
ated in political life ; and spoke person
ally of his former Cabinet members, and
of many oilier statesmen and representa
tive men in different parts of the coun
trv. As death approached his waning
strength did not permit him to converse,
but to all appearance his bodily pain had
left him. He lay quietly upon his bed.
a calm, happy and resigned expression
suffusing his countenance. At about five
o'clock he looked around the room for
the last time, his eyes resting for a mo
ment on those in attendance upon him ;
and then, as calmly and sweetly as a child
would sink to its rest, he closed his eyes
in his last sleep and pas.-ed away. He
died at the residence of Mr. Willard Will
iams, where he had made it his home
while in Concord, for many years past.
President Pierce formerly attended the
South Congregational Church in Concord,
but a few years since he joined St. Funis
Episcopal Church, of which he was a com
municant. He left a handsome property,
which, it is understood, he devised by
wilj.
1MPOKTANT EVENT.
At about 9 o'clock yesterday morning,
the steamship Moses Taylor left her dock,
and steamed over to the Railroad wharf at
East Portland, with Ben. llolladay and a
number of invited guests on board. She
had on nea' ly 200 tons of 4 T': rail for the
track of the Oregon Central Railroad.
which is being constructed through the
Willamette valley by Ben. llolladcy &
Co.
soon alter the vessel was " made
fast' the first iron rail was run out and
placed in position, by order of John F.
Kidder, constructing engineer of the road,
and spiked down by L. A. Doherfy. The
latter person was a foreman on the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad, end is engaged in a
similar position, we believe, on the Ore
gon Central. As soon as the spike was
driven a salute was fired by an artillery
piece on Ihe bank of the river a few hun
dred yards away. Among the persons we
noticed Pen. llolladay, the contractor,
Hon. I R, Moores, President, and a num-
bcr of well known citizens from this city
and abrjad. When our reporter left
(Hi o'clock) they had several hundred
feet of track laid and a hand car running
off the iron. The gnage will be the same
as that of the Pacific Railroad, 4 feet S.J
inches. This guage is found by the expe
rience of railroad men to be the most re
liable and durable now in use. The New
York and Erie Railroad has a six foot
gauge, while some in New England have
a seven foot one. It is telievcd that
4 feet S5 inches will bo the gauge on all
future roads, and some companies in the
Eastern States are altering theirs to this
standard. So that eventually all the rail
roads in the United States will have a uni
form gauge. The track laid yesterday is
for the purpose, we suppose, of transport
ing the iron and rolling stock to the main
trunk. It is probable the laying of the
regular track will commence on Saturday
next. Thus has commenced one of the
most important operations in the history
of this State for the benefit of Portland
and the country at largo. AVe have not
learned whether any formal celebration
of this evcDt has been fixed or decided
upon. At all events, an impetus has
been, and will be, given to ever thing
connected with the prosperity of Oregon
and her people. We congratulate Mr.
llolladay on the successful inauguration
of his enterprise. Portland Herald.

The regular meeting of the Association
was held on Thursday last, at the usual
time and place, when the following draft
of a Constitution and Platform was re
ported bv the committee on Resolutions :
COX.STITCTIOX AXD PLATFORM OF THK W0KK
IXG MEN'S ASSOCIATION OF PORTLAND.
We. the undersigned, do set forth the
following as the rrineiple.s of the Work
ingmen's Association of East Portia id.
and while we do not con'emplate a politi
cal party organization, we do-hope to pro
duce an'entire conceit of action wiihthe
votaries ot labor, in whatever vocation,
and joining with the efforts of the toiling
maises to arrest and roll back the crush
ing wrongs of perverted government and
oppressive laws : Therefore,, in subscrib
ing to the following Resolutions, we
pledge to them our united, earnest and
hearty support :
Resolved, That laborers in all depart
ments of useful industry are suffering from
a system of monetai y laws, which were
enacted during the late war, as measures,
it is assumed, " necessary to the life of
the nation,' and which now sought to
be perpetuated in the interest of the bond
holders and bankers, as a means to sub
vert the government of our fathers, and
establish on itr. ruins an empire, in w hich
all political power shall be Centralized ;
to restrain and oppress the rights of labor
and subordii ate its votaries to the nce l
less demands of aggregated wealth and
su p erci 11 io us a n t h o r i t y .
Resolved, That the national banking
system, being inimical to the spirit of lib
erty and subversive of the principles of
justice, ana wnnour wan ant in u:e con
stitution of the I nited btates, and wrong
fully increasing ihe burdens of the wealth
producing classes of millions of dollars
annually, justice, the aspirations of honest
industry, and the spirit of imperiled liber
ty demand its immediate repeal.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
continuation or creation of banks Vy ei. It
er State or National authority, with the
privilege of making, issuing, or putting
into circulation any notes, bills, or other
papers of any other bank to circulate as
money.
Resolved, That high rates of interest
are oppressive ; and "laws that make no
distinction in the rates of interest upon
currency and coin, are unequal and un
just. Resolved. That the revenue laws of the
United States shold be altered so that
they may afford just protection to labor as
well as capital.
Resolved, 1 hat the claim ot the bond-
iloi(i0rs that the bonds which were bought
with greenbacks, and the principal of
which is by law payable in currency,
should, nevertheless, be paid hi gold, is
unjust and extortionate.
Resolved, That the exemption from tax
of bonds and securities is a violation of
just principles of revenue laws.
Resolved, That voluntary associations
of white working men and women are en
titled, at the hands of legislation. State
and National, to the same privileges as as
sociated capital, and it is but reasonable
to demand their practical recognition.
. Resolved, 1 hat m the spirit of equality
working men and women, citizens of the
Cnited States, sharing the burdens of the
tariff, and taxation, are entitled to the
same protection at least, against imported
panpe. convict and coolie labor of China,
which is afforded the home manufacturer
against articles manufactured with cheap
labor abroad.
Resolved. That we recognize the wis
dom and justice of State legislation pro
motive ot the settlement of the country,
and the filling up of the avenues of labor
and useful industry with white men and
women of Europe or America, who, if not
already, may become citizens of the Uni
ted States, and commingle with us in po
litical and social relations, to the exclu
sion of races of people with whom we can
neveiassimilate, we therefore condemn
the importation of Chinamen as being con
trary to enlightened public policy, and
tending to imperil the prosperity of the
States and liberties of the people and
manifestly unjust to the laboring classes.
Resolved, That it is a duty which should
be exercised with pleasure, to guard with
vigilant care the delicate and sacred rights
of the daughter.? of toil, who are engaged
in various industrial pursuits, and solicit
their hearty co-operation in our efforts to
vindicate the rights of the laboring class
es while we pledge them in return our in
dividual and undivided support.
Resolved, That religion, morality and
knowledge being neces.-ary to success,
schools and other means of education
should be encouraged, such as Labor Cj
ions, Mechanics'Institutes, etc.
Resolved, That we concur with the La
bor Congress -That as labor is the foun
dation and cause of national prosperity,
it is both the c.uty and interest of the gov
ernment to foster and protect it its im
portance, therefore, demands the creation
of an Kxecutive Department of the (lov
ernment at Washington, to be denomina
ted the Department of Labor, which shall
aid in protecting it.
Resolved, That political equality amoncr
white men is a cardinal principle ; we
therefore urge full restoration of civil
and political rights to every American
citizen, except such as have been convic
ted of felony.
Resolved, That we appreciate the val
ue to man of that division of the day
which allows eight hours for work, eight
hours for sleep and refreshments, and
eight hours for the improvement of the
mind.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
accumulation in the Treasury, whether
State or National, of large amounts of
coin, tts revenue drawn from the business
and hard earnings of the people, to lie
idle and unproductive 5 or to become the
subject of gambling speculations in bonds,
warrants and other securities.
Resolved, That the power in the State
to declare the right of suffrage, and qual
ification for office, held by the Stales sev
eral! v. at the formation of the Constitu
tion of the United States, and incorpora
ted therein, and ever since so exercised,
isa indispensable to wise legislation and
the due protection of the lives, liberties
and happiness of the people. We are,
therefore, unalterably opposed to the
proposed 1.3th Amendment to the Consti
tution of the United Statrs, w hereby this
sacred and paramount right the right of
suffrage is to be regulated by Congress,
controlled hy people and States whose in
terests are foreign to our own.
Resolved. That we are opposed to a
landed aristocracy, and unqualifiedly fa
vor the disposition of the public lands to
actual settlers in limited quantities, upon
the moit liberal terms.

Another Bis
SAviss3e i Pi ogress!
From the Portland Commercial.
The public will remember that three or
four months since the Federal authorities
fonnd an old law which empowered them
to turn out the civilians who bad been
appointed Indian Agents and supplant
them by military officers. Col. Hudson
was sent to Oregon to take the place of
Supt. A. II. Meacham, and Captains and
Lieutenants were detailed for the Indian
Reservations. This seemed to " smash
the slate"' of a certain ring, and one of
our Senators hurried post-haste to Wash
ington, to save what fragments he could
from this general disaster to the program
me put up a few weeks before. He re
turned, saving Meacham to the Superin
tendency and Den Simpson at the Siletz.
but all the rest had to " walk the plank."
Meacham spent the winter at Washing
ton engaged in seeking an office that
would be worthy of his calibre, and came
back with an appointment that pays about
the same salary as is usually received by
a respectable book keeper, and not quite
so much as the wage3 of a good journey
man printer on a morning newspaper.
In the absence of inside speculation con
nected with the office, it is all that he
could honestly draw as official compensa
tion, but all his predecessors in the office
set him a precedent whiclj the very ap
pointment gave him license to follow, as
otherwise the office would be an insult to
a man who was politically conspicuous,
and who had spent, so much money in his
necessary travel and expenses at the Fed
eral capital.
The strategic manoeuvre of the' military
not only proved disastrous to Meacham.
but " moved upon the works'- of the Sena
tor, who desires a re-e!ectio:i next year ;
and as he i.s favorite with the Adminis
tration, a partial modification was made
for his special benefit, to the extent of re
tabling Meacham, to carry influence in
the eastern counties, and Ren Simpson,
for the same object, in Ronton county.
In the meantime .Meacham must be finan
cially attended to, as without a ''job"
the office would be a pecuniary insult.
At this point it is proper to go bade a
little in the narrative, ajid remember that
last year Gen. Crook cleaned out the
Snake tribe of Indians to the " bed rock,"
leaving no.v only about four hundred
souls, the majority of whom are squaws
and children ; and these, after being
brought to Camp Harney, and no provi
sion being made for their sustenance,
were allowed to return to the Malheur and
adjacent regions to supply themselves
wi'.h their usual food of fish. game, roots,
etc. This full thev are scattered over an
area of country not les3 than between
two and three hundred miles in extent, to
many parts of which the snow has already
closed communication, and in three or
four weeks will be altogether impassable
till about the middle of next summer.
Well, now', to come bade to Meacham lie
must be provided for, and the immediate,
(and known to be at this .season impossi
ble) removal of these Indians to the Klam
ath Reservation is resolved upon, and an
appropriation of $55,000 is made for the
purpose, to be expended in an outfit ami
farce of attempting to gather them up this
winter.
Rut at this stage another Richmond comes
into the field! The Applegate family are
" some pumpkins" in Ortgon ; and as the
fattier of" Lish" was ousted front his sub
agency at the Klamath Reservation, the
family must be conciliated, or things
might go
about Uinpfpia.
So,
Meacham had to take in a partner; and
the latter is the ex subagent of the Klam
ath. They w ill clear on the speculation
about two-thirds of the sum appropriated
and, eighteen thousand dollars apiece
will mollify their feelings and heal any
rankling that may harbor beneath their
vests. The programme is to get to Camp
Harney this fall, send out a few runners
among the " reconstructed'' Snakes, and
in the meantime winter will close opera
tions, the appropriation will be exhausted,
and the Indians left to enjoy themselves
along the Malheur which, by the way,
is a locality fit for no other human.
Put the story doe. not end here. A
few weeks ago the Senator made a trip to
Grant county, and there he found a great
big cougar m his path an animal that
showed its teeth very savagely at him till
he appeased it by the terms hereinafter
specified, as the lawyers say. Grant
county sustains itself alone upon Camp
Harney ; and if eveiy squaw and pap
poose about the Malheur country is re
moved to somewhere else, there is not the
ghost of au excuse to keep up a three
company post at Harney Lake to make a
market for Grant county. In this dilem
ma the Senator pledged himself that the
camp should not be removed of course,
upon condition that next June they would
elect representatives from that county fa
vorable to his re-election!
Well, as things now stand, every party
interested will be satisfied with the result.
First, the $5.3,001) will be gobbled up by
Meacham and Applegate ; second, the In
dians will not be removed ; third, the post
at Camp Harney will be continued, at
least till after next June election !
We have taken some pains to get at the
bottom of this nefarious transaction ; and
we affirm to the public this fact : they will
see that the above programme, in three
parts, will be carried out to the letter, if
no interftji'ence takes pkee from higher
authority.
J?FThe month of August last was an
eventful one. It witnessed a total eclipse
of the sun ; also had five Sundays, five
Mondays, five Tuesdays, and what else
we are not at present advised.
From the Democratic Press.
When Horace Greely established the
New York Tribune, he offered his large
weekly to clubs at the low rate of one dol
lar a 3 ear, with an extra copy to the get
ter np of the club. Aside from its poli
tics, it contained more matter of interest
to the general reader than could be pro
cured for the same price from any other
source, and for that reason nearly every
postmaster in the rural districts nine
tenths of whom were then Democrats
become an agent to solicit subscriptions
and get up clubs for the paper, and it
very soon had the largest circulation ever
before attained by any newspaper. The
consequence was that it entered into tens
of tho'iSAiids of Democratic families
through the country, to many of which it
was the only source of political informa
tion, and the children of such families,
since grown up to manhood, had their po
litical opinions moulded by its insidious
teachings, which the adults of that day re
garded as too absurd and impracticable
ever to do any "material damage by be
coming the dominant popular sentiment
of the country. They have lived, how
ever, to see their sons adopt as practical
verities what they ridiculed as visionary
abstractions, and they are responsible for
these results, by affording to the plastic
minds of their children no other means of
poli ical instruction. The present gener
ation of voters have been chiefly educated
by the 'Jribunc and kindred cheap news
papers of general circulation, aided by
New England lecturers, school- teachers,
tract peddlers and preachers, who have
derived a huge proportion of their sup
port from Democrats, and this system is
perpetuated through attractive pictorials
and sensational literature, the chief aim
of which is to foster sectional and partizan
prejudices in favor of the Radical party.
It is rare to find a Democrat who would
exclude a publication from his family
merely on account of its party bias, or a
public teacher or preacher on the same
account, and quite as rare to find a Radi
cal who does not apply a political test of
proscription to every medium of iiitolli-
1 "fence or vocation in life. We find Dem-
ociatie papers clubbing with the most
dangerous mid deceptive of these Radical
literary publications, edited by Greeley,
the I'ercbers, the Tiltons anil the Stowes,
for the profit of increasing their own cir
culation. What Radical paper would be
permitted by its party to club with the
La Crosse L'e .nocrat. or any ctie. r paper of
Democratic proclivities ''. We certainly
desire that every voter should have am
ide opportunities of studying the princi-
nli'-j itl hntli noli tb;il ii-irfii5 lint it i-i n
losing game where all the toleration is on
ore side and all the advantages accuer to
the other. If Democrats will contribute
to the dissemination of Radical sophistry,
thej are not justifiable in doing so to the
exclusion of papers devoted to the pro
mulgation ot who'esome Democratic doc
trine. COOS COl'MV.
Having 't returned from a
Imsines.s tour to tlic coast, some
mention may le Iue our readers,
ot the progress and husiness of
that interest mix region of country.
Two easy days' ride from Kose
bunx tne I'oute of tlic proposed
Coos lay Jioad brings the trav
eler to Coos I Jay, and the journey is
necessary to a proper appi eciation
as to the practicability of opening
upcommimication between the val
ley and the navigable waters of the
Bay. And the ad vantages of this
enterprise arc still better under
stood, "when emerging from the
heavy timber that skirts the trail,
one finds himself confronted by
one of the best harbors on the - Pa
cific coast, from which, at the pres
ent time between twenty and thirty
vessels make regular trips to San
Francisco during the entire year.
About the 28th ult., there were
eighteen vessels upon the Pay at
once, and though manv of these
had cleared, and others arrived, on
the .Tt'h instant the number was
not less than fifteen. The produc
tion of coal, and the manufacture
of lumber, which form the basis of
this trade, are steadily increasing,
and the stock of both these articles
that nature lias stored in that re
gion is practically inexaustible.
There is a considerable'amount of
land that can be made available
for agriculture, lving on the Pav,
and the sloughs and streams that
find an outlet into it; but it requires
clearing, and from that task the
Oregonians shrink. There is no
better market iu the world for
everything that can be produced
from the soil, than the few snuall
farmers of Cooslind for their pro
duce. The Copiilie country which
embraces a large amount of arable
land, as well as timber of the iinest
quality iu unlimited quantities, is
separated from the Bay by an isth
mus one mile in width, across which
a horse railroad is now being con
structed. Over this track many
of the surplus products of the Co
quille valley will be taken at a
heavy expense, to market. It is
said that this isthmus is nowhere
more than thirty feet higher than
tifle water, and the idea that a ship
canal will seme day lie cut through
it, connectii.g Coos Bay with the
Coquillc river, is entertained by
men of judgment and foresight.
As the river is navigable without
difficulty for a distance of forty-five
miles, with a soil of inexhaustible
fertility on either side, such com
munication could not fail to be of
great utility. It is probable that
no count- in the State is being
settled more rapidly by enterpris
ing and industrious men than Coos,
and it is quite certain that there is
none in which nature has spread
greater inducments for such as
?.re not ashamed nor afraid of toil.
Jjxf A negro doctor in Georgia pre
scribed for a rheumatic old woman that
she should bury her husband's money un
der a stone in the garden. .She did so,
and although the rheumatism ci Jn't vanish,
the money did.
