The Issues-
The important issues which have boon
decided by the States m which have re
cently been elections held Connecticut.
New York and Oregon have a great and
important signification, which the Radi
cals cannot disguise. Tie issue in all
these State? was made on national ques
tions, and New York, in which the Radi
cal endorsed the administration of Grant
- as also in this State and Connecticut, the
great Km id re State, cast a majority against
the administration which we believe ba.'--never
been equaled, and thus stands
O pleifgVd against his policy by over 88.00!)
majority. In this State the administration
vn condemned by the Democracy, while
it was endorsed by the Radicals, ard with
a combination of money i:nd other influ
ences brought to bear, the party which
endorsed it was defeated bv over 400 ma
jority more than the President was two
years ago. The administration was fairly
- on trial in all these States, and the defeat
of the Radicals pledges them against the
infamous course of the party in power.
It cannot be said in our own State that.

while t'.ey made the issue directly against
the national administration. One thing in
this canvass was also observable, and that,
is. that the Democracy made their gains
among the farmers or producing classes
of the States tunned. In our State the
Radicals trained in all the towns, where
money could have an influence, while the
Democracy gained among the honest
farming population. In Multnomah county,
which is mainly Portland, gave them

on former elections, while the precincts

e state-
ments to show that the producers, labor
ers and mechanics are disgusted with the
Radical rule, and that it is perrnanent.and
will do to rely on in 1872. In New York
the gains were of tally great among the
firming population, and, to quote from the
.il 7-. " ..- 111 .
Cincinnati Enquirer, " What is the cause
of bus astonishing revolution, where, as ; solemnly resolved to resist the exercise of

only four farmers out of fifty-three voted j tl)at Slatt. ,,y orC(. j wat tlit-m to un

dissatisfaction with the administration of
the Republican party. It is like an ad

Against a British Ministry a vo'e of a
want of confidence. It is produced bv
high and oppressive taxes by tyrannical
legislation. It is a vote against high tariffs
and income faxes against further pre
scriptive legislation toward the South
against the negro equality doctrines now
iu vogue aid practiced by the Govern
ment against its pusillanimous foreign
O policy against its protection to the bond
holder, national banker end Yankee man
ufacturer. For the same reasons that the
farmers in New York have changed, we
.believe they will change in all the States
which vote this fall."
The result of these election?, as we have
slid, is the verdict of the people. It
leaves the Democracy consolidated, in-vigorateiPa-jti
confident, and will inspire
them to like results throughout the land.
To the Radicals it bring chagrin at d a
future full of doubt and despair. They
are the signals of a revolution which will
q assuredly overwhelm them. Let the De
mocracy take courage, and be of good
cheer, for the prospects of an overwhelm
ing victory are before them.
Too Much Concerned.
A person reading the Radical papers of
ihis State and thuir allies of California,
would suppose that the late election was
n most magnificent Radical Victory. They
Lave been in power so long that they can
.tt6t realize their defeat, and are engaged
very busily iru rn aking a U. S. Senator to
succeed Geo. JTI, Williams. Now. jve would
most respectfully suggest to these Radical
meddlers, that on the Cth inst. there wa
aa election in Oregon, which resulted in
the election of a Democratic Legislature.
(16 majority on joint ballot), and that this
body will elect a Democrat, whether it '
will meet their approval or not. The
Radicals ha(t! had things their own way
for the past eight years in Oregon, but the
tables have changed and the Democracv
propose to have things their way for an
unlimited period, eo ihey need give tluni
fcelves no concern as to who the next U.
8. Senator will -be. The Democracy will
.attend to that matter. Your funeral look

is not at all probable that the living Dejn-

The result of our late e lection has givvn
the Democracy of other States much cause
for rejoicing. It was not only a victory
for us in Oregon, but its influence will be
felt ltrongb:ti. the nation. It was a vic
tory on principles that cannot die and on
which the Oregon Democracy has taken
the lead. Here is what the Sonoma (Cab)
Democrat says of our triumph :
The campaign in Oiegon is over, and
again the Democracy have carried the
State, electing their whole ticket. In ad
dition, the Democracy have a good work;
ing majority in both branches of the Leg
istatuie. thus securing the election of a
sound Democrat to the United States Sen
ate. This is doubly gratifying from the
fact that it shelves Senator Williams, one
ot the most ribald and reckless tools of
radical cespoti-m in ll:at oouy. me iree
white men of Oregon will soon rid them
selves of this blatant fanatic, whose rabid
inou'hings have brought disgrace and
shame upon the Slate. Like Couness. he
will -ink into utter obscurity, only too
glad to claim the charity cf silence. The
Pacific coast is still cursed with the pesti
lential presence in the Senate of a Stew
art arul a Nye men who-e groveling
worship of the nejrro nod Chinaman, and
bitter hatred of the down-trodden South
nus made their very names abhorred by
the masses of those they pretend to repre
sent. Couness lias fallen ; Williams is
doomed ; Cole's days are numbered.
Stewart and Nye must soon conn under
the Democratic guMoiioe. The Congres
sional teas's. so far as they are concerned,
will sjori be over. The handwriting is on
the wall.
All honor to the gallant Democracy of
Oregon. They have won a glorious vic
tory. The battle was fought out in inJullv
on-both sides. The Democratic platlorm
was a bold and explicit declaration of the
true principles of ivo-' white government
one of the very best since tin war. In
vain the dry bi.nes of the rebellion weie
hurled Mgulnst it. in vain the ghosts of
Andersonviile were conjured up in vaiir
the cry of repudiation rent the air. The
people stood firm and unshaken. The
grand truths of Democracy, and li.e black
and bloody record of fanaticism, settled
the bmdne.-s for Radicalism. Truth and
error grappled, and the right- triumphed.
The result will carry joy and gladness to
States that are prostrate and bleeding in
the foils cf the Wa.dniijrton despots, ll
will give fresh hope, and strengthen the
hands of the feeble, 'and stimulate the I
strong and true to renewed exertions. J
Noble old Connecticut has spoken : the !
lanp:re Slate lias thundered back her glad
shout of Democratic triumph; and now
the gallant men of Oregon proclaim nguin
their abiding faith in the Democratic party
and ils well-tried principles.
A Deliberate Falsehood.

conventions in the
Stale of Oregon have
prevent that. That is all that is necessary
to secure the exercise of the franchise by
the black men of Oregon.-' The honora
ble (?) Senator here made a solemn de
claration, and that was a deliberate and
willful falsehood. He knew at the time
that he uttered it. that no 'convention
had solemnly resolved to resist the elec
tive franchise of the black men.'' We
believe that such a resolve should have
been made and sternly carried out and no
one allowed to vote but white men. The
Radicals have no power to force this in
famy down the throats of the people of
Oregon. If is a blessing to the people of
this State that the term of a Senator who
will deliberately tell a falsehood is soon
to be ended, and a man of integrity and
honor will fill his place.
Wiiat Should have Ken Demo.
The f'orowing extract from the Sonoma
Democrat, relative to the enforcement of
ihn so-called fifteenth amendment, meets
our hearty endorsement, and is just what
ought to have been done at our late elec

s -.'ailed, an act of revolution and us

manner have given her as et to the trea

State will assert and maintain her rights
at all hazards. Revoiutmn on the pa t of
an infamous Congress, should he resisted
ny the Stales. That paper says ;
Wo do not believe in recognizing the

State and county ofbVials to see to it thai
in no instance is our State Constitutition

Oregon versus California.
The California papers miss no oppor
tunity of discouraging immigration to
Oregon. We take the iollowing from the
Sacramento Record of a recent date 4
A few days ago the Union published
an article to the eiiect that a German col
onization society's agent had concluded
to purchase land in Oregon, rather than
here, because it was held too hiprh by
speculators in this State. Chas. S. Capp.
manager of the Imm;graion Union, writes
to the JhilMin. -in reference to this subject,
and shows that tne Union's statement is
as inaccuiate and worthless a.s usual.
.Mr. Capp gives the following useful infor
mation about the relative estimation in
which Oregon and California lands are
held :
There were several German editors from
the East in this city within the past few
rnontl.s. one or more of whom went to Or
egon and Washington Territory with Gov
ernor Salomon's parly. The telegrams
from Oregon lately stated that the agents
of a German colony had made a large
purchase of hind near Eugene City. D.
Klintworth. the a:ent of the vAllgemeine
Washington Territory and Oregon and
passed through this city a Tew days ago
on his return to Chicago. While here he
vi.-ited Napa. Anderson's Valley. Ilea'ds
burg. and the Russian River Vullej in
company with W. li. Martin, the Geneial
Agent of the California Immigrant Union,
lb then suited that he had not only made
no purchase of land in Oregon, but thai
he was prepared o report-that the induce
ments o tiered to emigrants by California
were vastly superior to those north of us.
and would recommend his countrymen
to come to California and settle in this
Sia'e. The expense, ol clearing off th"
timber trom many of the Oregon lards he
Considered so heavy as to cvei balance all
the advantage of their super hr cheapness,
and as most of the Oregon produce has to
come to California for a market, he beliov-
ed the lai.ds obtainable ii
Siate bet tor
for settlers such as would be likely to ae-
company him. than :ny he saw in his
I northern trip. One. German colony now
in Oregon at first, bought lands in Wash
inguui. wbit.'.i were heavily timbered, but.
di.-conrageil bv the expense of clearing
them, ananuonea mem
ami purchased
tueir present location be. ween Portland
and Salem We have every reason to
know, therefore, that Mr. Klintworth will
advise the settlement of his countrymen
in California somewhere north of Sin
Francisco, and expect his reiurn here,
with a portion of Ids friends, within the
next ('J days. Who the other German ed
itors represent, we are not advised."'
The assertion of the Sacramento Union
is true, as large tracts ot land have been
purchased in Lane county for a German
settlement, the statement to the contrary
by this Chas. S. Capp- notwithstanding,
and negotiations for oilier lands have been
made. We believe that any man who may
visit Oregon connot but be impressed
favorably wi,h the superior advantages
we possess over California. To the ob
jection t;Kat our produce has to go to Cali
fornia for a rii.ukst. we cam assure our
neighbor that that will not continue much
rer.

! "-n o Oregon, we deny in loto.

figures, the title is perfect, and such a
thing as a failure in crops is never known
in Oregon, while the fanner in California
must calculate to have a short or entirely
worthless crop at least every three years.
The certainty of a good crop every year
in Oregon makes up for more than the dif
ference in exporting our produce to a
market and shoui 1 the past advantage
even be continued in favor of California,
it would sfill leave us on the advantageous
ground. Our farming lands are not
heavily timbered, as is asserted in the
above. On the contrary, no Stale in the
Union has a more equal distribution of
its agricultural and timbered lands, and a
farmer can Lave a desired proportion of
timber on his place, with plenty of water,
ami everfhything that may be needed.
That Oregon presents superior induce
ments to persons desiring to purchase
farms, cannot be questioned. Lands can
1 ue 11 a no:T1 l" J per acre, and
j no trouble as to title. The summers are
long, and such a thing as a failure in either
our lrnit or cereai crops is not known,
j The facilities' for market are good, and
schools, churches, and crood roads are
found in every part of this valley. The
valleys of Umpqaa and Rogue river are
equally as favorably adapted for agricul
ture, but at present their facilities for
market are not as good as the Willamette
valley. Time and population will, with
the railroad now in process of construc
tion, soon bring them in close proximity
lo a profitable market. There is yet good
Government land to be had in all these
valley, but. of.ccurse. the best lands are
taken up and owned bv the old settlers.
Our mountains are filled with valuable
coal and iron beds. Gold abounds in
large quantities in a great portion of our
State. Water power for mannfao' uring
purposes is abundant, and everything ":!

Too Dad. The Radical papers of Ore
gon, since the election, seem to be in great
agony as to the sluins of the State on re
pudiation One day they are positive
that the State is pledged to the doctrine
of repudiation, next day they don't think
so. and would loath to make such an
acknowledgement. "Equitable adjust
ment"' is the term used on which the State
was carried for the Democracy. It seems
to trouble these over conscientious Radi
cal editors very sorely, as though they
were the guardians of the nation's honor.
The Radical party for the last ten years
has brought nolhirg but reproach on the
nation, f nd while it wa3 once great and
independent, it has come down to a free
government by name only.
Oct Ao.vix. Senator Williams' friends
in Oregon seem to be doomed to disap
pointment. Imme.iiately after their de
feat in this State, the consolation came
from Washington flat Williams was to go
into the Cabinet, in the place of Attorney
General Hoar. Scarcely had the ink be
came dry which jointed this announce
ment. before another" dispatch comes an
nouncing that the President had appoint
ed a carpet bagger from Georgia, named
Amos Ai-kerman. iVe hope that his Rad
ical friends at Washington will find some
place for him.
Si:rvko them Right. We are informed
that the Radicals had determined to vote
feme of the Indians at Sheridan from the
Yamhill reservation. There were eighteen
of them brought up for this purpose. Af
ter the first one had handed in his ballot,
the white men standing by. determined to
prolect their rights, knocked the re
maining Indians down, which ended that
class of voting at that precinct. It is a
matter of regret that the Indians should
have received the punishment winch
ought to have been inflietrd on the Radi
cals that attempted to vote them.

grace. Glorious Oregon, yon have done

Tirrixo to go hack"' ox it. The Ore
gon Republican goes after the Orrgonian
on its universal suffrage pos'tion. and
claims that that paper does not represent
mote than one-fourth of the Republican
party of Oregon. It says :
Judge IJoie is our neighbor, and from
what w e know of his course on the subject
of negro or universal suffrage, we consider
it far inort consistent than tb.t t of the
Ongoriian for the last four years ; and fur
