It will be remembered that the last National Democratic Platform contained one or two planks from the Democratic platform of Oregon which had been laid down just previously. And gentlemen who have traveled in the Atlantic States and conversed with Democrats of differ ent States, have been astonished at the encomiums which the Oregon Democracy have received from the Democrats of all sestionsf the Union. They assert that the Democracy of this State have preserv ed from polution more purely the tradi tions ot the nartythan have those of any other State? This is true. Living in the free mountain air and breathing the un contamina&d breezes of tho Pacific, we think and speak as freemen on all ques tions at issue. On the finance question th Democracy of Oregon has planted itself re it never can be moved and where it isalestincd to win a crowning victory. It has planted itself on National equity, and where we venture to predict tho next National Democratic Convention will stand. Greedy scoundrels who wish mh the neonle. for the bondholder of double what lie can legally claim, will warmly interpose their stupid plea of dis honesty, for above and beyond the hoarse croaking of thes ignoble rascals, will be heard the grand cry of an oppressed and over taxed nation in behalf of the enforce ment of National equity. .' G(5d is with us who will falter? Justice, who withstand? Onward then for hearth and altar, Right and native land." O Iisrepkesentatioxs. There are cer tain degrees of truth and honesty which 9re necessary for a paper to maintain to entitled it to confidence in its statements. The Oregonian does not appear to make any pretensions in this way. at least, so we should jndge from its continual mis- Q representations and forgeries. Some time since that paper copied, or pretended to. some extracts from the Corvallis Union, and charged the authorship on Mr. Slater. When caught in its forgery, it asserts that I)emocratsGstated that Mr. Slater was the editor of the I'nion when it was suppress ed. He told one falsehood to get out of the first. The name of the editor of the C'uouatthe time it was suppressed is at ! the head of that paper, and if the editor j of'tbe Oaegonian had rot wished to com- ! mit a willful) forgery, he could have readi-! y ascertained that Mr. Slater was not the j author of the extracts nnbUshed. ! Pervirsioii. The Radical party has been noted for the adroitness which it possesses in the perversion of words used in ordinary con versation. For instance, during the war, the word "loyalty was made by them to express adherence to the most unconstitu tional dogmas and procedures. To be loyal in the Radical acceptation of the form, a man had to forswear fealty to the great written law of the Constitution and give his adhesion to the unwarranted us urpations of the Executive as well as to treasonable enactments of a Rump Con gress. And now. on this finance question, we find the same perversion of the word honesty. According to the Radical theory j a man to be honest must support that party in its endeavor io rob the peo ple through its high tariffs and excessive taxation, in order to give the bondholder double the amount he ever loaned the Government. The Democratic party, which proposes to pay the last farthing of the honest indebtedness of the Govern ment, but not one farthing more, is stig matized by the Radicals as dishonest. An "equitable adjustment," which, is but synonymy of an " honest adjustment," is termed by them robbery. Josh Billings, the greatest of living American philoso phers, has classed in one of his esi-ays, honenty as one of the lost arts. So far as the Radical party is concerned, this is lit erally true. What they call honesty, is no more tho genuine article than was their much-vaunted "loyalty." They have perverted the, meaning of these terms the better to hide their own rascallity and treason. BougUt and Solsl. It is a, terrible state of public affairs when men openly require written obliga- j tions from aspirants'to office to the effect that they will advance the Interests of this or that individual ; but it is worse when the public mind has become so corrupt that the men can be found who will open ly and shamelessly sell themselves i'cr a nnminnlinn. Vet sneh nnrrhases and , , t -, - T1 i i . sales were completed m 1 ortland last week between Ben. Ilolladay and the Re- publican nominees. The railroad "rant provides that the terminus shall be in the j , rwnand. and in order to comnlv with the requirements of the act. Mr. Ilol laday conceived the brilliant idea that tne countv must be consolidated with the ' city proper. Knowing that the Radicals of Multnomah county were obliged to comply with his demands, he positively refused to furnish them any money to carry the election if they nominated any one who had not signed the agreement !o support this proposition and also George II. Williams for U. S. Senator. The agree ment was presented for his signature to a Front street merchant, who indignantly spurned the proposition. There were those found, however, who were ready to sell themselves to Ben. Ilolladay and of these the Radical ticket of Multnomah county is composed. It now remains to be seen "whether the free white voters of that county will endorse the sale thus en tered into by these parties. If they do, they deserve no better name than slaves, unworthy to bear the name of freemen. . oo Not our Fm:lt. It is painfully amusing to witness the protestation of offended honesty made by the Radical scoundrels over the proposi tion contained in the eighth resolution of the Democratic platform. They profess to see in this demand for equity a dishon est purpose. Heaven bless their honest hearts! Is equity dishonest? Will an equitable adjustment of the bonded debt abate one jot or tittle of its amount if it be valid and not fraudulent? Nobody will make such foolish assertion.':. Then why this terrible outcry? Is it because they are aware that the bonded debt would lose some of its gigantic proportion if equity was rneeted out between the bond holder and the tax-payer? This must be the case. But (his is not the fault of the Democratic party. Why then should it be blamed rather than the terms of a fraudulent contract, which, if adhered to. would wring from the people more than double what equity and justice would de mand? True as rre;ielxiug. In ninety-nine cases out of one hundred it will be found to hold true, that tho men who blab the loudest about the dishonest proposition in the eighth resolution of the j Democratic platform, are men whose past records for honesty and fair dealing will not bear the; closest inspection. Take them as you meet them and when they iDveigh against that resolution and hold up their hands in holy horror, just go back over their record and you will not fail once in a hundred times in finding out that their rebuking a seeming dishonesty is the selfsame old trick of Satan rebuk ing sin. Lank County Democratic Ticket. The Democratic county convention, which met in Eugene Citv last Saturday1", nominated the following ticket: State Senator, A. W. Patterson ; Representatives, John Whileaker. G. B. Dorris and J. F. Amis : Judge. J. M. Thompson ; Sheriff. I. N. Poindexter; Clerk, J. I. Graves, Jr.; Treasurer. II. Dent ; Assessor. W. Thomp son : Superintendent, of Public School's. T. G. Hendricks ; Conmissioners. Geo. Riuehart. J. C. Royal: Surveyor, J. W. Skaggs ; Coioner. Sam. MeCullum 'A Fnvn. The Oregonian says that the bill published sometime since to enforce j titteentn amonuuu-i... a. .. a,u. uej -lst Nveok Pnb5Lshc1 onc takoa roni tI,at paper, and ought to be authorative.

He was in full aflilliation with Gen. Wool, who quoted him repeatedly in his correspondence with the Government in relation to the war o-enerally and these claims particularly. Wool, as is. welt known, took an early op portunity to. place himself in antagonism to our.' people, and was their inveterate enemy, classing them as " murderers and plunderers of the public treasury." be cause of their energy in defending them selves from the attacks of hostile Indians. Wool was probably influenced more by Palmer than any other person in his wanton and outrageous assault upon the character of our people. Here is a speci men of Palmer's style of correspondence with Wool, beinar an extract of a letter from him to Wool, dated at Columbia Barracks (Fort Vancouver) W. T., Nov. 1st. 1855 : Tae future will prove that this war has been forced upon the Indians against their will, and that too. by a set of reddens vagabonds, for pecuuiary and political ob jects, and sanctioned by a numerous popu lation who regard the treasury of the Lnueu States a legitimate sv.ljed of plunder. In the same tone he wrote to the Com missioner of Indian Affairs' at Washing ton. It is true that Palmer was turned out of office that of Superintendent of Indian Afiairs and that Wool was -'shelved " at Troy, N. Y., but that was small re dress for the prejudice they had created against, the interests and character of the citizens of Oregon. And now this same man Palmer is presented to the voters of this State to receive their support for the highest oflice in their gift. There is a good deal of ice in this.- Indeed, it is the cool est thing ever done by any party, not to give it any other signification. We think it rather too soon for Palmer to be en dorsed ; he must wait a while and find a few more passes through the .mountains to profitable gold diggings and lucrative traffic with the Indians and miners, in which way he indicates that he has been of service in the past. Perhaps so, and certain iy more to be commended than his official service. We apprehend that the people will allow him to continue the performance of the duties of private life. 3 Pkokahly Ri Moit Only. We have very little faith in the statement that an oppo sition is to be started against the North Pacific Transportation Company, on the routes from San Francisco north. In the first place, there is no demand for any more or better accomodations than we find in the Ilolladay line at present ; secondly, there is neither freight nor business for the steamers and coasters now employed ; and lastly, as Mr. I loll a day's inteeests have become so much identified with the development of our State during the pat two years, the public here would very probably stand by his interests if there were forty in opposition to him. Oregon ian. When a paper becomes corrupt enough to sell itself, there is no limit for its efforts to serve its master. The Oregonian hav ing sold out to Ilolladay 's interests for his influence to carry the State election, is not satisfied with its services in behalf of his railroad interests, but now goes for sustaining him in one of the gr-atest out rages and swindles ever perpetrated on the people of Oregon. The above extract is fab e in loto, ami is only published for the benefit of the impostor and to the detriment of the people of Oregon. In answer to the first proposition contained in. the above extract, we say that there is a demand for better facilities for franspor- tation ; it is the higjr rates of freight that this monopoly charges that keeps our farmers from realizing a reasonable re muneration for his products: secondly.it is well known that the old tubs now run ning between San Francisco and Portland, pay for themselves in two or three trips and they com.' up loaded with freight and passengers, and always return with a full freight end passenger list, which would be doubled if the prices were not so exor bitant ; thirdly, the only interest he has m anifested to develop our State has been for his own pecuniary benefit. To him and his associates we owe the loss of a targe share of (ravel to and from Idaho, because they could travel other routes so much cheaper, and Portland has lost more in this way than he has expended on the railroad. lie is constructing a railroad through this valley, for which the people of Oregon contributed both land and money, and in which they expected to retain an interest, but he has ' frozen " them all out and now ., controls the entire thing himself, and .should he complete the road, it will only aid him to complely place the people of Oregon at his mercy. by connecting the interests of the railroad with the steamers, thus precluding the possibility of a successful competition. The people of Oregon are nurshing a serpant that will m due time fclmg them with its poisonous pangs. Great Enehgy: From the Radical pa pers that belong to Geo. II. Williams, we are led to the belief that this individual is very industrious at present. He has been in the Senate nearly six years, and never has done anything 'worth mention ing. But now he is very busy in sending telegrams and letters, stating what is go ing to hi done. We may expect his en ergy to continue until after the election, when it will subside again into making Radical speeches. This dodge will not win. He is too well known. In TiouLK.--The editor of the Oregonian appears to be wandering at the cause of the citv election going Republican here l:Kt A!-,nl-i Tn rcHi.f him from h ' '.,,.. , . . . i ! quandary, we will inform him that it was t done by those who had learned not to re-' rrr.i ,:, o-.i i. : contributed largely to this class of educa tion. - Satisfied ? v The City Kli-ctiun. In the local column will bo found the result of the city election, hold in this city last Monday. The Radicals elected their entire ticket. The whole number of votes polled was 230, r. hich is 40 more then were cast last year, and the Radical candidate was elected last Monday by 27 majority, and one year ago by 2G. showing that in proportion to the vote the Democracy gained more than the Radi cals since the last election. We had no feeling in this matter, and would have been satisfied if we could have acknowl edged it an honorable defeat. But such is not the case. No honest man can feel otherwise but ashamed and humiliated at the manner this result was obtained, be he Democrat or Republican. Men who had not resided in the city t n days, and others who are known not to belong within he city, and even some who had not residal in the county for years, came up to the polls and before high heaven t ok the oath that they were citizens of this city perjured themselves in order to carry the election. These are sad facts, known to the Radical as well as Demo crats. .Some, who have claims to respec tability, attempted ' to get others to take the oath, but, be it said to their credit, they had not yet descended so low in the sca!e of human depravity as to wilfully swear a falsehood. Over thirty illegal votes were polled by the Radicals, most of which were sworn in. The railroad hands, who have n t now nor ever did have a residence in the city, were furnish ed tickets by their masters and ordered to vote. By this means the Radicals carried the election, and it is more to their shame than credit. Honest people are disgusted at these outrages and will no longer act with a party so criminally guilty before God and man. There is a lesson to be learned in this, which should prove of value on the first Monday in June. It is shown by their action that perjury will not prevent them from voting. Let every poll in the coun ty be guarded well on the day of election and see that none but legal voters vote. i The Democracy iciZbave a fair expression of the legal voters at all hazard, let come what may, and those who shall attempt to defeat that expression, had better be care ful how they make attempt with a people who know their rights, and know ing them, dare to maintain. We are willing (o abide the deeisioj of the legal voters, whether it be for or against us, but never to one that is made by perjured interlopers, who are hired to defeat the wili of the legitimate citizens. Let hon est Republicans consider to what degree of infamay their leaders have come and forsake them as they would a convicted felon. Freemen of Clackamas county, will you endorse this infamy at the elec tion on the CUiof June? Wilt you de clare to the world that you are in favor ol a party w hich carries elections by Mich means? If not, east your votes against it and consign the perpetrators of such outrages to the pit of everlasting damna tion int.) which they have placed them selves by their false oaths. Scoundrel ism lrosrrcsslii'r. As was predicted in this paper some time ago, that. IJolladsy and Williams would discharge all Democrats wo: king on the road or remove them into other counties just prior to the election. Last Monday a large number of hands were discharged from work on the road in Mult nomah county, and on the following day an advertisement appeared for one hun dred men to work on the road in this county. A person with any sense what ever can see what the results of this move would be. These men, thrown out of em ployment in Multnomah county, would, as Ilolladay expects, avail themselves of the opportunity thus readily presented, and by this means they would be removed from where their votes would cotint on any county ticket. Could men be guilty of a more high-handed outrage than is at tempted in this move against the people of Oregon? They are doing this to defeat the legitimate voters of Oregon, for their own aggrandizement. Will honest m?n support a party so venal and corrupt as tins led and controlled by Williams and Holladay? Will they record their votes as slaves to these scoundrels who are do ing all in their power to defeat the legal voters of this State? If you are not slaves to these men. place your votes against these attempted outrages and show them that the people of Oregon ure yet freemen. They are aiming to enslave you and your posterity, and if you further trust them you deserve no better fate. Who is this Ben. Ilolladay that seeks to thus control you and your interests ? An intinerant money shark, who lias robbed you through one of the greatest monopo lies on tho Pacific coast, by high freights and passage, and now he attempts to con- trol your political interests as he has your commercial. If you will countenance such open and barefaced rascality, you do not deserve the name of freemen. " Look well and calmly on these matters before you cast your votes on the first Monday of next June. Sheriff Myers' Ilcport. The following report was made to the County Court this week by Sheriff Myers. We shall have occasion to speak of this report in our next issue.

G'jO f'7 " 2,o-i1 13 A Traitor in the Field. We probably should apologize to our readers for devoting any more space to the subject of this article, but as the Radi cals appear to give him a prominence, we feel justified in giving our readers what we have learned about Jasper W. John son. This individual was a delegate in the last Democratic contention, by some unfortunate mistake of the Democracy of Curry county. He now claims that the platform teaches repudiation, which he knows, provided he knows anything, is false. If he had been honest in this be lief, and an honorable man, he would not have participated in the proceedings of that convention after the platform was adopted, which was done the day before the nominations were made, and he re mained in the convention. This excuse of his regarding repudiation is false, as his subsequent actions show most conclusive ly. He obtained a letter from a gentle man at Salem recommending: bun to per sons in Portland as a good canvasser, but he found that better talent than his could be obtained even on tho reserva tions, and that Democrats had no use for bim or his kind. He soon found willing purchasers, however, among thoie who formerly owned him, with this under standing : He was to canvass the State professing to be a Democrat, but opposed to the platform and keep as many Demo crats as possible from voting the ticket at the present election, and to wages a war within its rariKs after the election in behalf of a third party for the Salmon P. Chase movement for the next Presidency. For this service to the Radicals he asked $1, 000. and which we snj pose he received. He has a perfect right to sell himself whenever he can find a purchaser, but he has no right to expect or receive the courtesy due a gentleman when he takes upon himself to play the part of a traitor. This he is attempting to do. and in his bill of sale te included some gentlemen who he said would act with him in his treach ery. It will not be well lor this traitor when these gentlemen learn that he has used their names in connection with a scheme to betray the Democracy. State Printer. The Radicals have attempted to make party capital for their nominee for the of fice of State Printer, on the ground that he is a practical printer. If he were a practical workmen, we see no reason why he shcnld receive the votes or support of the craft " over Mr. Patterson. The lat ter is engaged in publishing a paper that gives employment to eight practical print ers, while the former never has given em ployment to but one, and that has only been since he has resided in Washington City. As the Mongrels appear to be ig norant of the history of their candidate for this office, we will enlighten them on the subject : He does not know the first principles of the trade, and could not hold a situation as compositor in a well regulated weekly newspaper office ; he has not been in the State but about three months for the past three years and more; he has been door-keeper and under clerk at Washington City during that time : he has a person employed in that city who writes letters for him, which are published in the Journal under the head of " editor ial correspondence;" we are informed that since he has resided at Washington he has exercised the right to vote in that District and has thereby forfeited his citizenship in this State. It is understood that he is not qualified to hold the position and was only nominated to fill up a vacancy on the ticket. The apparent sympathy of the Radicals towards the crr.ft are as hypo critical as most of their professions when they desire votes. If their hypocracy neeeds any evidence, we refer them to 1 lit nomination and election of Gordon and McPherson, neither of whom were print ers, it is only an etiort to make votes. -e - .7 a s . II. SI;; I or. e take the following sketch of this gentleman from the Salem Press, of the 4th And in the year 1870. the Democratic State Convention, at albany, nominated Mr. Slater by acclamation for the oflice ol Representative in Congress for the State of Oregon, and by the grace of God will proceed to. and will elect him to fill that high position by an overwhelming majori ty. From the foregoing sketch of Mr. Slater's career, it will be seen that he has been almos'. continuously for a long series of yeais in the faithful service of the Ore gon Democracy, and has been upon the stump since I860 battling for the canse. perhaps more than any other man in the State. The overwhelming majority uni formly cast for the Democracy in Union county, where Mr. Slater has resided for a number of years, bears evidence of his energy and influence in the party. James H. S'a'er in his private character stands as high above suspicion as any man living. As a debator upon the stump, he has but few equals on this coast. He is now, in company with Jo. Wilson his competitor, in the midst of the canvass, and will soon visit this city, when our people will have an opportunity of judging of the qualifi cations of the two candidates, as well as the respective platforms upon which they stand. Upon the stump Mr. Slater in style he is chaste, logical and strong. No fool ish or sickly subterfuge are n s orted to by him or witty anecdotes indulge in to cap tivate or hoo 'w'.nk the people, but with an earnest zeal, moves stiaigiit forward -as a s'r nig min in the discussion of the card inal issue of the day. There is not a man upon the whole ticket more worthy of the full support, of the Democracy than Mr. Slater, and no man can listen to him in public or private discussion upon political qnestions. without feeling impressed with the earnestness of his manner and his laudible energy in the advocacy of his political views. The Radicals are now very busily en gaged to get Democrats r ut of Polk and Yamhill counties. Sam. Clarke went down I to Portland with some, who had been em- j ployed in order to get them out of Polk I county, to work on the Custom House in that city. There is nothing left undone by Williams' fools to secure his re-election and all with the peoples' money. Telegraphic Clippings. New York. 27.
