Throwing off on tlic Orcgoiiian.
At the time that the Oregon City Man
ufacturing Company substituted China
men for white laborers, the Oregonian
persisted in charging that the proprietors
and managers of this factory were Demo
crats. Everybody here knew that this
was not so. but outsiders did not, and that
paper, by means of such misrepresenta
tions, appeared to make a point. But
the Republicans of this county were too ob
tuse to profit by the deception their organ
Lad practiced u the community and
elected R. Jacob, the President and Man
aging Agent of the Company, a delegate
to the Republican State Convention.
This was very unkind in the Republicans
of this ceunty for it raiseo a doubt as to
veracity of their organ.
Proclivities for Lying.
The proclivities of the Oregon Statesman
for lying are very forcibly set forth in its
issue of the 25th ult. In speaking of Mr.
Slater, the Democratic nominee for Con
gress, it makes three assertions which are
'known -to be false to a great majority of
"the people of Oregon. The fhst of these
assertions is, that Mr. S. was publishing a
paper at Albany which was so vile as to
be suppressed by the " Government." Mr.
Slater 'never published a paper in Albany,
and never was connected with one that
was suppressed. The next, t that he wa3
educated at Obertin College, Ohio. Mr.
Slater never was in the State of Ohio in
bis life. This is." all that the Statesman
could find to say against Mr. Slater, and
the statements-made are false in toto.
Accei'Tv. Mr. Fleischner, the Eemo-
cratic nominee for State Treasurer, not be
ing present at the Convention, immediately
after he received the news of his nomina
tion, "sent the following telegram to his
brother at Albany :
Poktlaxd, March 21, 1S70.

OUR. STA5DARD EEAUEItS.
We had only time last week to insert
the -names of our standaid-bearers and
the platform on which tbey were placed.
We now propose to give our readers a
short sketch of the respective candidates.
HOX. JAMKS II. SLATER,
the nominee tor .Congress, has been a citi
zen of this State since 1S32. He resided
in Benton counfy from that time until 1SC3.
On bis arrival he commenced teaching a
countrv school near Crrvallis, during
which time he finished reading law," and
was admitted to . practice , we -believe, in
1853. He was a member of the Legisla
ture of 1857 and also of the first session
of the State Legislature of 1859. His
abilities and high moral character won
for him the esteem and confidence of all
parties. Afterwards he engaged in pub
lishing a Democratic paper at Corrallis,
which was the leading organ of the party
in the State. In 1862 he sold out the pa
per and moved on a farm near Corvallis,
where he remained until 18G3, and then
he went to Auburn, Baker county, where
he engaged in mining and the practice of
law. He soon gained a reputation among
his fellow-citizens that gave him a posi
tion at the bar second to no attorney in
the State, and he retired from mining in
18C.5 and removed to La Grande, Union
county, where he engaged in his profes
sion and where he now resides. He was
elected prosecuting attorney in the fifth
Judicial District in 1SGG, which office he
filled with credit to himself. At the last
Presidential election he was one of the
electors, and through his energies, as much
as any other man, we gained the victory.
He was the unanimous choice of the party
for his present position, ttere not being a
name placed in opposition to his iu the
Convention. He is an able and elociucnt
speaker, and the party which has put him
forth to carry them to a triumph in June
next, could not have entrusted its destinies
and interests to abler aDd better hands,
nox. i F. CKOVEK,
the nominee for Governor, is one of Ore
gon's earliest pioneers, and his name is a
household word in our State. His abilities
are known to all our citizens. He was j
the first Representative from Oregon in
the Lower House of Congress, and had he
become recreant to his party, would have
been elected U. S. Senator in lSGO. He
is a firm Democrat, and all his interests
are identified with Oregon, her success
and prosperity. He is just the man for
the place, after it has been so fouly pros
tituted by the present incumbent, and on
his taking charge of the interests of the
people, their rights will be looked after
and our heavy State taxes and expendi
tures reduced. He will guard their rights
and not squander their means in disor
ganizing legislative bodies for the benefit
of State bor.d speculators. He is a man
with sufficient means to be above the
temptations of official bribery, and the
people can rest assured that ability, in
tegrity and economy will rule in the De
partment of State after September next.
1IOX. S. V. CUADWICK,
the nominee lor Secretary of State, is a
citizen of Roscburg. Donglas county, an
able lawyer and a gentleman of high
character. He was one of the Democratic
electors in the last Presidential campaign,
and did'noble service tor the party. Mr.
C. is eminently qualified for the position
for which he has been chosen, and while
there were other names before the Conven
tion, good and compentent. we doubt if
there could have been a better selection
made for the position. He is an able and
eloquent speaker, and his voice, added to
the two first named gentlemen's will give
us a power of strength in the canvass.
- MR. LOUIS FLEISCHXEH,
Ihs nominee for State Treasurer, is a citi
zen of Portland. He has been a success
ful merchant in Oregon for a long time,
and is known throughout the State for his
energy, industry and gentlemanly worth.
Xo man in Oregon stands higher in the
opinions of those with whom he has had
business dealings than Mr. F. He came
to this State poor ; by industry and legiti
mate bnsiness enterprises, he has acquired
a comfortable fortune. He is a firm and
uncompromising Democrat, and his nomi
nation was almost the unanimous voice of
the Convention. . He will use his best
abilities for the success of the whole ticket.
MU. TnOMAS PATTERSOX,
the nominee for State Printer, is the busi
ness manager and one of the proprietors
of the Oregon Herald. While there was
some contest for this nomination, his selec
tion is a good one and gives general satis
faction. Mr. Patterson is not a printer,
and while we hold that tbi3 office should
be given to a practical mechanic, he rep
presents the interests and is a partner in
an office which employs printers. We
cannot see any difference between the
proprietor of a paper who is not a printer
or one who is a printer but does not work
at -the trade. If one can claim it on the
ground of having learned the trade, the
other can have just as nvich, or more, be
cause he is giving employment to more
printers than any other two printing of-
fices in the State outside of Portland. The
qnestion of his not being located at the
. i Tl
seat of government, is only an excuse to
find fault. If the printer must come from
the capital, all that would be necessary for
a person elected once, would be to move to
Salem and claim the position forever. Since
we have been a State, there has not been
x paper printed at Salem by the public
printer half the time, and at present the
State organ is printed at McMinnville,
Yamhill county, by one who is not a
printer. We consider Mr. Patterson amply
qualified to employ, as others have done,
competent persons to do the printing sat
isfactorily for the people and the nomina
tion a good one.
Space will not allow ns to further do
tail, and we cloe by saying that the on-
lire ticket is one which every Democrat
can feel a pride in, and for which they
can cheerfully work for success. There
never haa been an' f.bler or better set of
candidates put. before the people for fheir
suffrage, and, standing; upon the princi
ples of truth, justice and equity to all
whether rich or poor ?will he triumph
antly elected by the honest people of our
State on the first Monday in next June.

Ratification Meeting in Portland. c
The Democracy of Portland had a rous
ing ratification meeting in that city last
Monday evening. Oro Fino Theater was
crotrded long before the time arrived for
the commencement of speaking, and hun
dreds were forced to go away for want of
room to get into the building. The meet
ing was organized by the election of Hon.
J. L. Scoggin, as Chairman. Hon. Jas
II. Slater, nominee for Congress was then
introduced, who delivered a masterly
speech of two hours length. He com-'
pletely vindicated the Democracy from
the charges of the Radicals, and showed
conclusively that the platform adopted at
Albany contained nothing but justice and
equity to all parties the people as well
as the bondholders of the nation. He
proved that at least one half of our pres
ent great national debt was a fraud on
the country,, and that the taxpayers are
now paying six per cent, interest on this
enormous amount of pretended debt ;
that the resolution by C-ingress to pay
the debt in coin which was contracted in
currency, was a fraud on the people and
an outrage on the consumer, who has to
bear the burdens of taxation ; that it was
the duty of Congress to protect the masses
and not enact class legislation for the
benefit and exclusive moneyed inferesis
of the country ; that the Republicans
was the only repudiation party in the
Union they have repudiated their con
tracts with the nation, with the widows
and orphans, and never kept faith in any
of their public pledges. The speech was
received with applause and was an able
effort for the commencement of the great
l - 4 . 1 r . . , - .
I) hi ( n nnr nresonr. sii-nrrrii 1 1 vs-nc
t ao.. no i
followed by Judge L. L. McArtbur,
.
Of
Baker county, nominee for Judge of the
Fifth Judicial District. The Judge is an
able and pleasing speaker, and reviewed
the tyranny and injustice of the Repub
lican party for the past ten years in an
effective style. tlon. R. A. Price, of
Baker City, was then introduced. He
showed by his argument that Congress
and the Republican party were guilty of
fraud and corruption by attempting to
force the people to pay the present debt
in any other way tha i by the terms of the
contract ; that the present stagnation in
all of our industrial enterprises was due
to the fact that there is no money to carry
on legitimate business avocations ; that
the bondholder has all Ihe means in
his hands, and to him we are continually
pouring out our substance ; that there
were 30.000 people out of employment in
Chicago, 25,000 in Boston. 100,000 in Xew
York and 30,000 in Philadelphia, all
owing to our present empoverished con
dition. He concluded that the laboring
classes would ere long compel the bond
holder to take what is equity, and if he i
not willing, give him nothing that labor
and the industries of our country could
not long stand under its heavy burdens.
Col. Jas. K. Kelly was the next speaker.
The Col. was evidently at home before
the large crowd, on taking the floor was
received with rounds of applause. He
stated that the platlorm adopted by the
Democracy and the candidates placed in
nomination, met his hearty endorsement,
and that the eighth resolution contained
the very substance of justice and right ;
that there was no justice to pay any ob
ligations in any other manner than as
provided by term? of the contract ; that
the interest and bonus given the bond
holder had fully paid for every cent he
invested ; that there was no justice to pay
the bondholders contrary to the terms of
the contract, and thereby augment the
national debt double what the people had
ever agreed to pay, or for which they had
received no consideration; that the interest
on this non-contracted debt had paid the
principal of the actual debt. He con
clusively proved that the party in power
were aiming to establish " not only a
moneyed aristocracy in this country, but
also a landed one. His arguments were
able, conclusive and could not fail to con
vince any honest mind of the enormity of
the crimes of tne Radical parly against
the laboring people of our 'tax-riaden
country. The meeting was a grand suc
cess, and the ticket is heartily endorsed
by all Democrats and honest voters.
Very Nice. Our friend Brown, of the
Albany Democrat, gets off the following
good hit "after his defeat at the Conven
tion : -
The subscriber is beaten, kerfhimmixcd.
cork-screwed, squelched, done for. waxed,
annihilated; and if no one enjoys the
thing any better than he does, may Heaven
pity them ! Man that is born of woman is
of few days and short of votes. He Com
eth forth as candidate for State Printer,
and whilo his hopes and prospects are
brilliant, and the beacon ot success seems
' lo PU,ne ongniiy across um paiu. some
other fellow steps in and nips his aspira-
itions in the bud. Our readers will bear
with us while we turn aside to drap a tear
on the coffin of our dead hopes, and heave
a sigh over what might have been" if 8
votes had been east in a different direc
tion. But while we bitterly mourn over
our blarstcd hopes, we fully realize the
cheering fact that many others have trav
ersed the gloomy vale before and legions
will come after us. To the chastening
rod we meekly bow, feeling that our loss
is PJs eternal ain. Selah ! ....
During this week, the greater pcrtion of
our time ha3 been occupied in the Circuit
Court, hence we could-write but little for
the paper. Mr. Xoltner, however, came
to our relief, and whatever extra merit the
paper may be entitled to this week, is
due to him.

The canventiou, wishing t. acknowledge
their obligations to Mf. Ilolladay for his
colonization operations, declared in . favor
of the re-election of Senator Williams to
the. United States Senate. But, unfortun
ately for "that party, the convention, in its
anxiety to serve Ben. Ilolladay, has put a
ticket in the field which is sure to suc
cumb to the Democracy on the Gth of next
June, for they have been very unfortunate
in their selections.- . We have not time in
the present issue to go into details in re
gard to their blinded operations, but will
merely refer to two instances at the pres
ent, and give particulars hereafter. In
their great anxiety to get a legislative
ticket that would go for Senator Williams,
if elected, they insulted and slaughtered
three good men who were very popular
with the people, and would have added
great strength to the ticket if they had
been nominated. It was done in this
way: The Hon. W. W. Buck, an intelli
gent and respected citizen, who has resid
ed in this community for a long time, and
done much for the 'Republican party,
was put , in nomination for County
Judge, but only received two
votes. Mr. Buck has filled this office in
this county to the satisfaction of the entire
community, and with honor to himself,

. , , . -I..- t , ,
llollauay ana v unaas legislative iicicet
is not only an insult, but ar outrage. For
the- same reason, Mr. X. W. Randall, a
worthy and popular gentleman, failed to
get the nomination for sheriff. Mr. Rams
by, a worthy gentleman living on the Mol
alla, had been requested by soma of his
party friends to run for the office of sher
iff, but it appears th.it the convention dis
covered that Mr. Ramsby's religious views
were objectionable to the Republican par
ty, and he was laid on the shelf, and Mr.
Warner, an Englishman, whose religion
consists in part, at. least, of lcyalty to the
Republican party, and to the iniquitous
colonization schemes of Ilolladay and
Williams, was nominated for sheriff. If
the honest men in the Republican party
will endorse and vote for the men nomin
ated by a convention put up iu this way.
and for such purposes, we are much mis
taken. Proceed In j

Letter from Salem.
SALJiM, Mareh 23, 1870.
Mr. Editor : The good people of ihe
capital are just now on the qui ilea about
politics to the exvlusiDti of ether topics.
Judging from the friendly recognitions
one receives on the street a person would
suppose that every third man was seeking
some office ; and I presume that could
the secret hope be made apparent, it
would be found to be the case.
The Democrats are waiting in full trust
of the delegates now assembled at Al
bany, to hoar of the selection which they
shall make for our standard bearers in
the cominsr contest : while the Radicals j
are in a fearful expectancy, wiih a premo
nition that the days of their .misrule and
malfearvance are to be cut tbort.
If the people are true to their own in
terests, how appropriate will be the ap
plication to the Radical party of the pass
age of Laiah. " .Hell irom . beneath, is
uToved for thee, to meet thee at thy com-
No hope of good can be entertained of
that party, for tbey have proved them
selves to be so utterly debauched, that he
would be a fool, who would continue to
look for good from that sourcf.
It is to be hoped that special care will
be taken in the nomination of candidates
for the State Legislature, for there needs
to bo an immense labor done in cleaning
out the augean stables of Radical legisla
tion, both in the matter of commission,
and that of omission. More than one
that falls under the latter category. We
want a law by whichj if a man high in
office be proved guilty of malfeasance, he
may be ousted from that office.
Then we need laws for the better pro
tection of health, against the vendinz of
poisonous compounds as beverages, un
der names of brandy, whisky, rum, etc.,
and under this head also ought to be in
cluded patent medicines, which have
grown to be a pest and a scourge. Also
ST want is, of
3 of drus:-
ludttlent
need of
a law fo give the people assurance of
competency and honesty in drinks .
There is .at the present time niuchcon,
plaint on this head, among physicians or
this town. But though the complaint i3
heard here more especially, the trouble U
tell in otner parts as well. We know- rr
we
use lor illustration because jt Ahl
occur in this : town, w here the nhrsirian
not
wrote Tincture of Toln. but the tender of
drills read Tinctureoof Lobelia, and in
sisted on puttinfpip. and was only prevent
ed by the fitmness of the man who car
ried the prescription, and who, though
a farmer, knew more of drugs than the
druggist. Such points should becuanl.i
by law. for they closely touch peopled
Jives. Yours. I "BOGGS & CO.
