the occasion, by Senator Morton, will
undoubtedly be embraced in the platform
of l lid Radical party for 1872. They em

country ; thai they have kept a herd of
cilice holders, and by means ot this latge
surplus revenue, caused corruption
to be practiced openly in every de
partment of the Government, and the
people's hard earnings have been squan
dered. The principal song of the Radical
Presidential campaigner is an abuse of the
Democracy upon issues prior to the war.
while he fails in having any fixed plan
for the future use of the Radical party.
That party once had an object, and though
diabolical as it was. succeeded in accomp
lishing it. and now they have no tun her
principles, but plunder and office. They
stand ready to lake up anything which
may come up for popular favor, and fur
Pake it the moment the sentiment of Un
people is known to be against iluin. As
an illustration we would call the; atten
tion of the reader to the course of the
Administration in the little annexation
scheme, and other measures that Lave be
come unpopular. While they do not give
up their desh cd object, they simply let it
sleep until they sneered in placing them
selves in a fortification on which they
may not be easily dislodged. The entire
term of Grant's administration ha-s been
occupied with a view to retain power,
regardless of the interf'srs of the people.
The Democrats have a fixed pr'urcijre in
view, and have 'he vantage ground. The
address we published last week has set
before the people of the countrv the
shortcomings, extravagance and high
banded rascalities of the party in power,
and most plainly shows the tendency ot
the Administration towards a despotic
and centralized govern men!. While the
Democracy are fijlning the enemy of free
government upon issues of to day. which
are vital to the perpetuation of our once
free and great countrv. the Radicals have
nothing to bolster their cause up before
the people but the vile arid malicious

00. They advocate instead the removal
of those duties which yield liitle revenue
and tax the people heavily to support
favored monopolists. Dor instance, the
Government receives no revenue from
blankets; yet the duties on them of lil.)

country to extort Irom the people S- 25
otj every pair sold in the country over
- -and above what the same goods can be
imported for free of duty. This is a tax
paid by every individual in te United
States, and. while it yields no revenue, is
more burdensome to the people than the
taxes on the t;i and eotf.'e. which produce
'' ?13. 000.000 per annum. Accurate statis

will consume in a ear, of coffee, ;$t;

The Mails-
We have two daily mails into Oregon,
one by way of California, overland, and
the other by way of Salt Lake, yer.strange
to say. our mails are received here in a
budget semi-occasionally. We have a
number of daily papers on our exchange
list, but these arrive, sometimes eight
and ten in one mail, and we frequently
receive two weeklies from the East of the
same date on one day. Why ihis state of
affairs exists we cannot contecture. r-.nd
must conclude that the Postal Agent
either does not understand his business,
or he fails to attend to it. What is the
use ol daily mails if mail matter is not
forwarded by the quickest and shortest
route, and not allowed to lay at distrib
uting offices for the accommodation of
mail contractors. Tt ill Ihe Postal Agent
see where ihis fault lies and make an effort
to correct the growing evil ? There is no
necessity for a daily mail if we are to
have it by steamer once in ten or twelve
days, or allowed lc lay on the line from
California here.
While we are on the subject of mails,
we would call the attention of the Postal
Agent to the fact that the manner ol sup
plying the side offices in this county is
anything but satisfactory. Every office
in the county is supplied by starting out
of Portland, while they could alliae sup
plied from this place in shorter time and
at a much less expense. There is no nec
essity of a mail carrier going to Portland
and back over a distance ot twelve or fif
teen miles where a d stributing oflice is lo
cated within four arid five miles. There
is no sense in such a thing, and as to the
benefit to the people.it would be just as
HCCeptaole to them to have the mail leave
here every Saturday morning as Portland.
Every oHlce in rhis county could be sup
plied i.t one day were 'the different mails
to leave hei e, but now it takes from two
to time days to make the round trip.
There is not a single mail route oiit from
ihis city, while we are not to exceed K
miles from any office in .he county, and
Portland is to most of them over thirty
This is a little piece of favoritism which
costs the Government a large sum ol
money each year, aim is also a great in
convenience to the people. We hope the
present Postal Agent will take sli ps to
correct the abuses inaugurated by his
predecessor, and let the mails for Clack
amas county go out from Oregon City,
the proper place, and not force the peo
ple of this city if they wish to send mad
matter four miles Iroin town to forward
it thii'.een miles to Portland and then
have it come back seventeen.

It is not strange, wi ll these startling

honest, truthful men can be still driven
to the polls atij made to vote t lie Radical
ticket. All this noise about Kit Klux is
designed to divert popular attention Irom

may yet attain their main object by a
shori cut.

Men of ButlerV. type are now its ruling

Swinging Round tuk Circle. Grant
and his keeper, .Morton, took a "swing
around the circle" recently, to Indi ina
and other western Slates. Our Radical
friends were very free with their dirtv
abuse of Johnson for doing a similar act,
bat we have not seen any disapproval in
ibeir columns of Grant's courW.
An Independent View-
The New York Herald of a recent date
thus expresses its views in relation to the
Democratic Address published in our last
issue. Tt is a sensible article, well wortb
reading, as the views expressed are truth
ful and to the point :
It is simply an address to the people of
the United States, signed by the fourteen
Democratic Senators and ninety tour
uepresentatives ol Congress, expressing
their views on the legislation and polic
ot the Radical party and the conduct ol
the hdmin srratioii, and defining in general
terms the -position of ihe Democratic parly
in reply to the charges made against it by
ihe Radicals. 'Ihe s-ddress has the merit
of brevity, which is an improvement upon
such political manifestoes generally,
though it might have been more forcible
and explicit. The Democratic Congress
men thought, probably, it would be best
to leave the wotk of miking a platform
to the National Convention, and intended
this movement- as only preliminary. In
view of ihe chit n ires that ruav lake idace
between the present time anil next spring.
and the necessi ly of harmonizing the party
in the different sections of the country on
a general Course of policy, it was deemed
prudent, no doubt, to wait the upshot ol
events. The Dem cratic Congressmen
act upon tin' principle that "sufficient tor
the day is the evil thereof.''
We do nut see. however, as some of the
Radical 'newspapers pretend, that this
comparative ueg.'tive action of the Demo
cratic leaders implies tear of meeting
sq rarely die issues determined by and
since the war. The language of the ad
dress does not admit ot such inference.
"No indignation can b
too stern unci no scorn loo severe lor the
assertions by unscrupulous Radical lead
ers that the great 'Democratic and Con
servative p 4i t y of the Union, hr'.s or can
have sympathy with disorders or violence
in any part ol the country or in the de
privation ol any man of Ids rights tinder
the constitution. It. is to protect arid per
petuate the rights which every freeman
cherishes, to revive in all hearts the leel
ing ot Iriendsnip. alfection and harmony
which are ihe best guarantees ol law and
order, and to throw around ilie humblest
eition. wherever he may be. the protect
ing ;egis of those safeguards of personal
'liberty which the lundanieiital laws of the
html assure, that we invoke the aid of ail
good men m ihe work ol peace ami fecoti
cilli ttiou."' So tar. ihen. the Democratic
leaders in Congress, l epi eseiiting all sec
tions of ihe country, are committed to
carry "out the a'lnendtnents to the Constitu
liou and to OrdorCe the laws made to that
end.
lint the address is fvtinly denuneialurv
ol R iilieal legislation and policy and of
t: e Con option and extravagance of the
Radical party since it has been in pjiwer.
Here the Democrats have ample ground
to stand upon, antl if they know how to
m ike use ol the lads that, lie iioadeast
belore them they can "break down the
dominant pa'rty. whether General Grant
can succeed or not in the Presidential
race oi 1.S72. Apart trout the necessary
expenditures to prosecute the war lor the
preservation of the Union, the Radical:;
have squandered during the ten years
they have been in 'power an incredible
sum of teoiiex'. Noihing like the reckless
extravagance was ever known m the his
lory of 'nations before, and now, six years
alter peace litis been restored, ihe current
expenditure of the Govenifnent. inriepeud
ctil of the int'U-est on the debt, is nearly
three limes greater than in 1SG0, when tin
Radicals first came into power. "In live
years ot peace follow ing the war.' as the
Congressional Democratic address says,
"the Radical administrations have expend
ed twelve hundred mil. ions for ordinary
purposes alone, being within two hundred
millions ol the aggregate amount spent
hr the same purposes, in war and peace,
during the seventy one years preceding
June MO. 17(11, not including in either case
the sum paid upon principal or inteie-t ot
the pubic debt" Rut itnit- is not all.
Hundreds ol millions ot acres of the pub
lie muds the most precious inhei iiauce oi
the people hive been lavished upon
railroad and other grasping corporations
without anything like an equivalent, and
io enrich the paitisans ol the government.
'Ihe most burdensome ssstem ot taxation
is kept up and an army of officeholders
employed in older th.it the aduuuis ration
and parly may have a gorged treasury,
the greatest amount ol patronage and
abundant means for jobs ot all kinds.
This, in bi ief. is the appaiing financial
history of ten years of Kadic.il rule.
A more serious charge, if possible, on
winch tlu-i address of I tie Deuiocra s ar
raigns the Radicals, is the proscriptive,
coercive and centralizing policy which
threatens t'i subvert ihe liberties of Ihe
peojde and to turn this tree and happy
country over io the government of the
worl. We have become so accustomed
to military title since the war commenced
t ti.it the people appear to have lost that
vigilance with which they lormerly
guarded their liberties. Federal bayon
ets at the polls i i hy;l Stales and in
times of jeace would have created the
greatest alarm with our lb re fa 'hers. ?)ii
no pretence would this have bt en toler
ated in former linn s, yet we see that now.
Ihe tedeial government, under ihe Radi
cals, is hist march ng to a centralized
despotism. 1 he coei eive bill just passed
by Congress and signed by the President,
under the pretext o! Kti Kiux disoiderx
in the South, is the severest, blow to lib
er y ever struek in this country, it places
the whole population of a va?J seciioh.
innocent as well a guilty, at the mercy
of one mm and his nr. i addons. It is the
government of the .-word. There is no
nece.-sity lorthat. 'I he industry prosper

show the impolicy and injustice of such
;i dangerous measure. Disorders there

Many of these disorders have been fo

high handed and autocratic policy of the
government must be nudes stood by the
con-ervative people of the North I hey

so as to secure their vote in the coining
Presidential election. It looks as if rlje
Radicals are r.-ady to create another civil
war rather than lose their power. Sti.I.
we think they will overreach themselves
and th a1 their very coercive and despotic
policy may defeat the object they have in
view. This pretended Kii-Kiux legisla
tion will give the Democrats a great ad
vantage, if I hey know hjw to use if. They
Could have no better plank in their plat
form, and no better i-stie on which to go
belore the people. The old saying that
whom the 'rods would destroy they first
m tke m id"' seems to be applicable just
now to the Radical party. It is evident
from the whole tenor of 'he Democ atic
Congressional manifesto that the leaders
know what they are about, and that they
are going to make the despotic and coer
cive policy of their opponents a promi
hem issue hereatter.

Our Royal Family.
The Chicago Tribune-gives a list of the
royal family of Great Britain with the
various amounts paid for their support
and the maintenance of their State, which
foots up a total of $1.730 .Ml). The tri
bune goes on to say that in spite of our
deep sympathy with John Cull, because
ot the taxation w ith which he is burdened
to support a family of princelings, we
nave a royal family of corporations lor
which we are taxed much more heavily
than any people in the world are taxtd to
maintain roya'ty. Here are some items
from the taxes collected in 1S7G :
Tax collec'ed on salt S 5.250 000
Recehed by the Government .. .1 .323.000
Paid over to salt companies S3 J7.U0U
Tax collected 'on pig iron. . . ..$2(.()00'.000
Received by the government. . l.oOO.ooO
Paid to pig iron companies. .SIS. 400 000
Thus, as the Tribaii show?, our two
salt com uinies cost us more than twice as
much as the British royal family costs
John Bull, -wl'tle a few Penrisy lvania Iron
companies cost us as much annually as is
paid to support the royal families of
Prussia. Holland, Belgium. Italy, Austria,
Havana, Russia and Greece.
A Bill ok Exrhxsi-:. As was predicted,
the treaty of the "'High Commission is
simply a bill of expense to the United
States, and will result, instead ol a benefit
to the American tjoveniinnt, to the in
terest of England. The New York Iltruld
has the following on this subject :
Notwithstanding the secrecy 'hat the
members of the Joint High Commission
have professed in regard to the points of
ihe treaty they have negotiated, there re
mains no doubt that it provides for the re
cognition ot the c'aims ot Englishmen for
damages during our civil war ; that a
money compensation is to tie given lor the
useof rhe Canadian ll-hing grounds inshore,
that the navigation of the. St. Lawrence is
to be free to our vessels, ami the naviga
iton id' the Canadian 'canals bound only to
a pa meiit ot toils. Our demands tor in
demnity for the depredations ol the Ala
bama are conceded. Englishmen in this
country who suffered by our civil war are
to be indemnified, and our fishermen are
Io have the privilege of the inshore fi-h
lies on the p.inieni of a certain sum ;is
coinpeusa-ion theielor by the United
Slates. As the damages to English are es
timated at some twenty million dollars
more than our estimate of datniges by the
Alabama, il can be easily seen that we are
not likely to m ike much by our bargain,
and as we seem to be the tarty to ihe
treaty that has to pay the most money il is
iiucointortabl y evident that h; wing gone
lor wool we have come back shorn.

says that ,t was not in the power of the
Radicals: to defeat the lock bill on the
west side of the river. This is another one
ol its errors. It was welt known that had
that bill beer, amended in a single instance
in the Lower House, it would never have
become a law. as the Senate would have
refused to concur in any amendment, and
the other bills to which it was count c:ed
as a rider, would have come up and been
defeated. Which would have been the
death knell of the bill. This .Messrs.

New NoKTiiWi.sr.--Ve have received
the first two ntunbc'.s of this paper, pub

The paper presents a very neat ami credi

edited wuh considerable, ability. V. hile
we have no sympathy with the objects of
the paper, (woman suffrage) we neverthe
less wish it success as we believe it will
have a tendency to instruct women in
their other duties, and disgust them with
politics. There are not enough strong
minded New England women in this
country who Wish to wear the apparel
that belongs to the s ronger sex. and as a
general ihing. the franchise quest 'on is
looked upon by the women with greater
disapproval than it is by a few weak
minded men. We have heard of two or
three men (supposed to be) in this place,
who ure in favor of woman's suffrage, but
have thus lav tailed to liud a woman wtio
desires it.

the Xallon, condematory of the so-called
Ku-KIux Act. designed to cooler imperial
powers on Grant and enable him to con
trol the Southern elections. The Xal'um
was not alone in its protests against that
outrage upon free 'government. Other
Republican papers spoke in the same
tone, and among them the X. Y. Evening
JW in the following emphatic style :
In oilier words, every constitutional re
striction upon the power of the Executive
is w ithdrawn, and instead of the Constitu
tion and its checks, the nation is left to
the voluntary torbearatice and sound
judgment of the President as the sole
salt-guard tor its liberties. If he should
choose at any time to declare the City of
New Yolk or Washington in rebellion,
antl to take possession of 'it with the army,
under martial law. that is. under the will
of himself l-.s commander-in-chief, the
people must choose between submission
and armed resistance to the enforcement
id' an act of Congress. 'Xhnt is to any. it

No republic Is justified in thus surren
dering its liberties. The success of such a
measure i more to be dreaded than its
utter failure. The : estoi tit ion of order by
such means would be a greater calamity
lo the c juntr'y than the. promotion of dis
order by it. For it would establisn a
precedent by which any political party
hereatter. on obtaining the control of
Congress and the Executive, might en
trench itself and i s President in absolute
power and leave the people no remedy
against absoiuteism and centralik ttiotiisui

valley papers published a repot t that Mr
M. II. Abbott, of the B-'d Hock Democrat.
was soon togive'-.rp that paper and re
move to Montana to take charge of a
paper there. 'Ihe last is.-tie of Mr. Ab
bott's paper emphatically denies this
story. We think, as a rule, it is always
best for papers to wait in announcing
such impcrtant changes n'ttil they appear
in the paper which the party interested
publishes, as a report of this kind cannot
be ot any benefit lo the ptibbc. while it
does an injury to the paper. The las!

fluteringly ol his success, both past and

The (Minority) report did. however,
propose to have the locks let to the low
est bidder, but it was undoubtedly the
impression of the majoiity .of the Legis
lature that this was done by the P. T.
Company simply for the purpose of pre
venting the locks from getting into the
hinds of parties-who would build them,
which would destroy the monopoly they
had over the commerce on the upper Wil
lamette river, which it was supposed that
they were desirous of retaining. Herald.
There was no reason to suppose any thing
of the kind. The P. T. Company were
ready to file their bonds to accept the
provisions of the west side lock bill be
fore it was acted upon, if there vas any
fear entertained that they would not con
struct the locks. We last week gave a
plain statement of facts, and are willing
to let the matter rest with the people.
Rut. in conclusion, why was the bill in
troduced in the Senate for a v.'ts't side
lock "pocketed"' and a new one substi
tuted? The first provided for $130,000
subsidy ; the last $200,00;), and yet the
provisions of both bills were alike with
et'i exception of the amouut of subsidy.
If the Herald is so innocent in its knuwl.
edge of the west side scheme, we will
state that it was done at the instigation of
D. P. Thompson. T- sq., ot ti is county, who
declared "that I propose to form the best
combinations I can to get the greatest
amount of the school lands."-' lie had
made combinations which justified hita
claiming SwO.UOO'fnoi1 e than he asked in
the commencement of the session, and got
it. There is a dark picttue hidden in this
bill, which its friends had better letslitm
ber. Keeping out the Clackamas mem
bers, and passing Ren. lloliaday's subsidy
bill are not all the crimes for which the
w est side lock foil is responsible.
