OREGON CITY, OREGON FRIDAY, DECEMBER S,
Letter from JohnQnincy Adams.
Quixcy, October 13. 1870
lion, j as. M. Iveitli, President of
the Convention :
Dear Sir Presuming that my
tied a red desire to withdraw from
the candidacy would, have insured
the disniisal of my name from the
midst of the convention at Fitcli-
burg, the nomination announced
by you in your favor of this date,
which I have.the honor to acknowl
edge, wasamewhat unexpected to
me. . Differing in that respect from
my eloquent competitor, 1 have for
three years past wished very much,
to be Governor of Massachusetts,
but having failed to discover the
reciprocity of sentiment among
a majority of my fellow citizens,
which is so desirable in such cases,
I thought it would be wise for the
democracy to select a more attrac
tive candidate. Rut the Conven
tion having apparently detected a
value in my services, which had
escaped my observation, it would
be arrogating an absurd import
ance to my individual preferences
to persist in an obstinate and un
gracious refusal of so small a sac
rifice, to a body of citizens from
whom I have accepted such flat
tering favors. I therefore under
take the duties imposed. The
only real claim of the republican
party, of late, to public confidence,
is by a parade of trophies, with
out head, or system, or principles,
it isjield together only by the life
of decay corruption. Its system
of taxation is the most burden
some, and the least democratic in
the world ; its currency is the rob
beiy of the poor, while its vaunt
ed reduction of the debt lias only
been accomplished by a cruel tax
ation, which doubles the burden
by taking two dollars from the
people for each one dollar paid to
the public creditor. This scheme j
of imposts is - deliberately and
craftily organized in the interests
of associated capital alone, and is
as certainly, if not as palpably, a
violation of every principle of
equal democratic government as
was the cogxatu policy of the same
partj, by which two hundred mil
lions of acres of the people's home
stead lands have been given away
to railroad corporations. This
cunningly devised scheme will this
year take five or six hundred mil
iions of-dollars- from the people,
and pay it over to the capitalists
who own your mines ana miiisana
furnaces and salt works, to allevi
ate their unprofitable labors, as
if the tax was openly levied and
the bounty as avowedly paid.
Under the same system our ocean
shipping is broken up and our
shipyards are closed, and the farm
ing lands of Xew England no
longer fetches the cost of the build
ings upon it. And that its con--cious
merit in affording protec
tion to the American laborer from
the pauper labor of Europe may
be apparent to the meanest capa
city, almost the only article which
it admits duty free is an unlimited
supply of cheap Chinese, imported
to suit capitalists. The democracy,
on the contrary, accepting the past
and frankly recurring to the prin
ciples of Jefferson, hold out the
hand to all who long for reform,
and press forward to redeem the
future. To that end they call on
men who are for a moderate and
equal tariff, conceived in no inter
est less universal than that ot the
whole people, on all who know
that a depreciated currency is a
tmrse to every one out utter per
dition to the poor and on those
men who sec how corruption is
sapping the foundation of the
Government, to maintain by their
votes the truly democratic meas
ures of Hard "Money, a Revenue
Tariff, and a radical reduction and
reform in the Civil Service. In
State affairs the success of the de
mocracy would mean the absolute
cessation of grants of public funds
or credit to local or partial uses.
The sturdy beggars who infest the
State House need no longer doubt
whether the Executive can be
screwed up to forbid their plans of
plunder. Democratic economy
will not mean a crowded lobby and
a swelling debt. Special legisla
tion shall no longer draw out the
sessions of your Legislature to
midsummer; and the democracy
dare trust the people to buy their
food and drink, ua watched by an
odious andjexpensvie corps of infor
mers. Above all', sir, the demo
cracy intend to try for a new
Union, under what a radical Sena
tor of the United States has called
that "decayed and worm-eaten be
quest of the fathers of the Repub
lic" the Constitution of the
United States. And in success,
the democratic party at least, will
"vi, mien y iorgei mar, a uovern-
ment, no matter wdiat title it mav
assume, is truly democratic onlv
m so iar as the guiding will of
most permits the free develope-
ments of each in every attitude of
independent manhood. V cry truly,
Your obedient servant.
John Q. Adams.
Hurrah for West Virginia.
' " " -
The Democratic triumph in
v cii v irgmia is cotinrmed, savs
the 72rami7ier. Twenty-tivo cotm
ties heard from with large Demo
cratic gams. The Legislature is
Dmoci atic, insuring a Democrcatic
Senaton The last dispatch does
not mention members of Congress,
but no doubt Democrats are elected
in all the Districts. In this, we
have made a clean sweep in that
Radical-ridden fragment of the
Old Dominion. This is the most
significant election since the war.
One-half of the white men of that
State are disfranchised under its
reconstructed ' Constitution, and
had no voice in the election. All
the negroes, for the first time, were
admitted to the polls. Notwith
standing this, the Democrats have
carried everthing before them.
Two years ago the radicals elected
all three Con fjressmen, and 40 or
50 members of the House of Dele
gates. Grants majority over Sey
mour was 8,485. Now, with the
assistance of the negro vote, this
"trooly loil" State has repudiated
Grant and his party. The enfran
chisement of the non-voting whites
being one of the issues in the can-
vass, Ave take it for granted that
their disabilities w ill be removed.
When this is done the radicals will
no longer have an abiding place in
Yv est irginia. W ho says the
work does not go bravely on ?
Indiana, West Virginia and Penn
sylvania on the popular vote these
are tne latest accessions to ueino
cracy. Next will come Nevada,
and then the gaeat Empire State
will speak out. Yes, Democracy
is dead very dead, but somehow it
has mighty capacities for resurrec
tion. Iy news of a later date than the
above, we learn that all three of
the Congressmen have been elected,
and that the Democratic State
majority is 8,000. The ball is
rolling, and can' be stopped.

Rut it is hardly fair to send him
to State Prison ! He forged a note
for seven thousand dollars, and de
frauded the State of that amount.
Simply this and nothing more
that is, hothing more has been
heard from to this date.
Once upon a time, in the back
woods of Michagan, a young sister
of the church, before marriage, be
came the mother of a child. A
church meeting was called, the ob
ject being to try and to turn out
from church care and protection,
the poor girl who had been taken
in and done for by a brother of
the same church. The offense was
clearly proven against her. Before
a meeting of the church the
mother and babe were brought.
On being asked if she had any
thing to say why she should not be

from which the church rescued her,

A Calcitm Light for the Democracy.
When the Abolitionists first ap
peared in this country the instinct
of self-preservation prompted the
people to silence them, aiid if they
had not been deluded by Demo
cratic politicians into the belief
that they were foolish and vision
ary "fanatics," that 'only needed
to be let alone to die out, alto
get her, the masses, no doubt,
would have utterly exterminated
them. As they were restrained,
however, they showed their utter
contempt and abhorence of Garri
son and his traitorous gang, and
under the lead of Dan. Sickles,
Dick Busteedi Captain Rhinders,
&c, pelted them with rotten eggs,
and broke up their filthy and ac
cursed gatherings in this and other
cities. Rut amazing and disgust-
ing transformation! getting into
power through fraud unp'aralleled
in human annals, this once despised
Abolitian gang have ruled the
country for the years past, and
though they have trampled on all
law, human and divine, and paid
no more regard to even the organ
ic law itself, framed by Washing
ton and the men of IV 70, than
those of Confucius there have
been but two instances where there
was sufficient sense and manhood
in tne iSortnern states to resist
these lawless villains. In 1S03,
when they attempted to tear the
laboring men of the' North from
their families and hurl them on the
bayonets and cannon of the South,
to work out their beastly and
accursed crimes of amalgamation
with negroes, there was, thank
God, sufficient manhood left in the
Democratic masses to resist this
impious and hellish work, and if
they had not ceased their gross
and brutal disregard of State laws
and personal liberty, and accom
plish their objects through fraud
and trickery, their leaders, no
doubt, would have suffered a fear
ful though just penalty for their
audacious crimes. And now we
have another instance of Demo
cratic sense and manliness at Day
ton, Ohio, where, when it was
found that the Abolitian leaders
were to vote the six hundred bro
ken down soldiers in a military
asylum the miserable victims as
well as tools of the villains and
thus, despite the rulings of the Su
preme Court of that State, cheat
the Democratic candidate out of
his election, the Democratic Coun
ty Committee gave notice that
they would forcibly resist the
scoundrels at the polls. And this
was sufficient to stop their villainy
just as the manly and patriotic re
sistance of a score or two of brave
men in 18G3 stopped the draft, and
just as courage and manliness al
ways will intimidate cowards and
villains. JT. 1. I)ay liooJc.

Don Piatt is the Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial. In a recent speech he
thus exposes to the atmosphere the
radical party, of which he is a
leader :
"Rut, my friends, as the sun
breeds nuggots in a dead dog, the
sun of our republicanism seems to
have called up from the bogs and
fens and swamps all the vile things
that crawl, and hiss, and fatten on

a period in the history of this or
any other people that foul corrup
tion so poisoned humanity. It is
no longer hidden in dark places, as
if ashamed or afraid. It stalks
abroad in t he noonday sun, making
days itself hideous; While trade is
prostrated, and profits grow lessor
disappear, while taxation grinds
us down, thcives, with brassy faces
and greedy hands, fill our offices and
fatten on the spoils. Rings sur

What Means it?
The Sonoma Democrat, one of
the most fearless and outspoken
Democratic papers, in California, in
its last issue contained the follow
ing truthful article under the above
head
For vcars this great and glorious
Republic ot America has been rut
ed by a despotism more grinding
and outrageous than anr that has
ever existed in the history of man.
1 ror years the people of tins land
have been groaning beneath a
mighty debt, contracted in their
enslavement.

thing that will tend to demoralize
and enslave a once free people.
Taxed great God! whrft are
we not taxed for?
lut the people cannot stand
such a constant drain on their
strength and pockets. They are
beginning to find out how oppres
sive is radical rule, and, as might
have been expected, they are de
termined to throw off" the yoke of
tyranny, and again proclaim them
selves free men.
They have spoken in thunder
tones in many ot the States.
They have fought against money
and the shoddyites, against the
monopolists and high-tariftites
against the dictatorial spirit as dis
played by Grant and his toadies,
against the miserable, unprincipled
mongrels, their poor, dupeu follow
ers .and the ignorant negroes.
Everywhere, noble, gallant de
termined resistance has been made
to further misrule, and in every in
stance a glorious victory has been
seemed, or great advance made in
the right direction.
Now, we hear that the party in
power is enforcing the "Enforce
ment Act" in New York, that
troops have been forwarded to
that State, that whole regiments of
Marshals are being appointed to
take charge of and look after the
polls that the people are to be
intimidated at the coming election,
that a "free ballot" is to be no
longer a recognized right in that
State.
We know that the Grant

that none but the Hateites arc per
mitted to hold office under the pres
ent dynasty; that registrars refuse
to rocognize the right of loyal
soldiers to vote unless they arc
known to be in favor of the Grant
candidate, McClurg.
We know that the almost cer
tain uprising of the people though
out the length and breadth of the
land is enough to cause the traitors
and scoundrels in office to tremble
with fear.
We know that a better day for
the country must and will come,
and that it is now dawnino-. - ,
We know that there is a remedy
for every evil, and to cure the dis
ease the proper remedy must be
administered. v
.We know that Xew York is
Democatic, 'and that there is no
war going on in that State which
is necessary for the Federal Gov
ernment to station troops within
its borders. Now, if these soldiers
are not placed there to enable the
radicals to rule by the bayonet,

Honor versus Itascality.
The correspondence between
President Grant and Secretary
Cox, in reference to the hitter's
resignation of the office of Secre
tary of the Interior, is remarkable
inasmuch as it reveals the strug
gles of an honest man to keep his
department free from the corrupt-;
ing influences of political despera
does, on the one hand, and the un
blushing effrontery of au Execu-,
tive in endeavoring to force a cab--f
inet minister into compliance with
the unjust and outrageous demands -which
would have taxed the sal
aries of his clerks and employees '
for the purpose of carrying on a ,
wicked and fraudulent political."
campaign.
Gen. C ox emerges from tins cor
respondence covered with honor,
leaving the conviction on every
mind that he is a man of principle
and conscious rectitude, while
President -'Grant has gained for
himself the contempt of every '
lover of fair and honest dealing
Mr. Cox goes out of the Cabinet'
because he was too honest and just
to permit his poor clerks to bv
i l
robbed at the behest and for the
benefit of a parcel of nolitic.-ri
speculators; while the President
m forcing and accepting his resig-
nation for this reason, lias proved
that which has Jong been 'charged
upon, him, namely, that his own
personal interests and that of his
party friends overlap every consid-
eration of right and justice for the ;
people.'
But if Grant can stand this, the
people can. To-day is his to
morrow is theirs. "Whom the
gods wish to destroy they first
make mad " and a day of-righto-
,
ous retribution for the President
and his advisers is near at hand.
If they think that honor and pro
bity are no longer needed in the
administration of the Government,
the people do not, and when the
hour of reckoning comes these
nbusers of the trusts confided to
them will be taught the severest
lessons of their lives. Hurled
from the high places which they
have prostituted to their own base
and ignoble purposes, they will
