Oregon vs. Ohio Platfoim
While some of our Democratic co
laborers have flopped over on the Ohio
platform, we feel it our duty to protest
ajrainst any such innovations upon pittv
principles as are set 'forth in that mongrel
instrument. We have yielded a willing
acquiescence to all oiir State or National
pla' forms, and should We ever be over
Tuletl in this Putter l.y a legally called
TSlatji. or National 'Convention, whic'i are
the --supreme guides fur party papers, we
will submit. But 'the platform of ih
Ohip State Convention has no obligatory
foVcP on us whatever. We are bound!
untjL our next Stale Convention meets by
the platform of principles adopted at
Albany. Much. 1870. and to them we
owe all 'giance and not to Mr. Vallandig
bam Or ihe-Ohio Convention. On,- plat
form is emphatically opposed io anv such
deception, and is avowed and honest, in
Itskteolara-Motis. While we value the
polrie"al sagacity of such men as 'composed
theOtiio Convention, we t.i!! give them
ntvinote weight in pirty mhiters titan we
!o k tfiose inen ho cntnposed the Oregon
and New Hampshire Conventions.
Neither oMhese States, nor did any ol
the States which marched to triumph last
lall.Ree fit to go back on their oll-i epea'ed
declarations. While the Ohio platform is
adojpted tor the purpose of success, (to
get the negro vote) it will fail in accomp
lishing jhe end. The white men will re
pudiate such dishonest dcmagngisni. and
defeat, a most humiliating one. will be
the result. The amendments accented in
"these resolutions are wrong, and h ive be
come mil! stones to the neck of the Radi
cal party, and while honest men are feek
ingto find a party opposed to I hem. and
just as they are about to swamp the orig
inators, we find the Democracy, through
men too ambitious for power and place,
taking the very club which has brok'-n
the Radical party's head. We maintain
that it is the duty of every Democratic
q paper of this State to adhere to the princi
ples of the party as set forth in our State
platform. They Lave nothing to do with
the Ohio platform, and in order to remind
our erring brethern of the press, we here
produce tour sections of our platform,
and hope they will care'uily study them
and itot repudiate their own action and
eagerly seek to endorse a platform antag
onistic to the one adopted by our rnvn
State for their support :
3. That the s called reconstruction
measures attempted to be carried out bv
the present party in power is a rielartous
fccheme. revolutionary in design, treasona
ble in exee-turon. one which it actptiest-ed
in as a rightful exercise of authority will
establish a most dangerous precedent and
imperil the safety ;hh1 prosperity of our
form of government, and that the present
Senators in the Congress of the L'nited
States from this State m supporting those
measures have misrepresented the wishes
and outraged the sentiments of the peo
ple of Oregon.
i: .Tti at the Systematic efforts made by
O that party to extend to the African. tV
Indian, and the Chinaman all the civil and
political rights and privileges enjoyed by
the" w hite race-, evinces a !e?iju on the
part of its leaders to destroy the high esti
mate piaceu upon mat iniuinaoie Heritage
and render despotism less objectionable
aud more easy ol accomplishment.
"5. That the ratiliea'ion of the recently
proposed amendment to t he Cons-i: u i ion

May 31. 1871.
Editor ExTEPttisE. While all sections
of our State are setting forth their advant
ages to new comers. I have not. seen any
mention made of this locality. Avhich is a
most favored place. I believe it is gener
ally admitted that the land is as -good here,
if not better, than in any part of the
county, with an abundance of the very
best of spring wafer. There is ti sawmill
in a central location, where building lum
ber -can be had at eight dollars per thou
sand feet. We expect to have a flouring
mill in operation by next tall. At present
Foster's, eight wiles from here, is tin
nearest mill. Owing to the settlers being
so far apart, and the sparcity of popula
tion, schooling advantages are not asgooe
as might be desired. Much credit is due
'O Mi. F. Revenue, the oldest resident of
this locality for the sp!r' he h is man fest
ed in contributing largely for building
school houses and sustaining a school. As
to the society. I d ubi whether there is a
more peacable community any where in
the Slate. As to politics, we are as nearly
one sitled as ihe handle of a jug. Out of
2( votes polled last June. 21 were for the
Democratic ticket, and I am sorry to re
cord it. that out of i bis number, not to
exceed six support Democratic newspa
pers. It is through the liberal support
given Ihe tit-publican papers that that,
party has obtained such an influence in
the country. They scatter their papr.se
and Radical speeches just before the elec
tion promiscuously around the country,
which has a gieat influence with many
who are floating upon the surface, with
but little patriotism and no fixed princi
ples. They read ami swallow anything
presented to them, without investigation
or thought, as to the truth or falsity of the
declarations of the partisan press. I be
lieve, by a thorough canvass, the number
of your subscriber might be doubled in
this locality. While we would most desire
Democrats to settle among us. yet true to
the teachings ami practice of the Democ
iacy. we never have and never will pro
scribe a man on account ot his political or
religious fait-h.
To those seeldng a home, who may see
this letter 1 woutd say. come and look at
this part ol the -country before settling
elsewhere. Tti ere are Some good chances
for Government hinds yet. which are un
occupied. There are also some settlers
here who are unable to s.ock 'heir farms
or io Carry on farming to an advantage,
who have but little improvements, who
can be bought oui for a un til sum. The
Sandy and Cascade Wagon Road tains di
rectly through this settlement, which is
twenty miles from Oregon City and twenty
six from Portland, and with double the
populaiio.u . our school facilities and coun
ty roads coti'd be made as good as any
person might, desire. In c inclusion. I
would ask persons who are seeking homes
to give this sec'iou a favorable considera
tion, and i am sa'.islied they will agree
wiili me that it is a good place to locate
for a permanent home.

The Foster Route-
Clackamas Co. June oth 1871.
Editoh Entekhrisk. Sir. In your
paper ttf May 2irh I noticed an item in
relation to the practicability of the Har
low pass in the Cascade mountains as the
best and most direct route for a railroad
from Salt Lake to the Willamette valley.
In every respect yort were correct. By
consulting the map you will see that it is
almost a direct line from the west foot of
the Dine mountains, here the em grant
road enters Hie Uniailla valley, to 1. Fos
ter's in Clackamas C'JunH. where ihe san.e
road en ei - th Willamette valley. Oregon
City is lbti miles west ami 1 miles f.outh
of the point where the Emigrant roa 1
enters the valley, near the ie.-eiv.Miou at
ihe foot of the Ilbie mountains. 15y to I
lowing the base line which pusses through
the most i'-vcl ami best portion ol 'the up
pe country, there would be but link
d.flicul'y in finding a good route for a
railroad, nearly on a straight line to
this valley, saving over halt Ihe tii.star.ee
that would be required io find a raiiroad
line on the Columbia river route. So far
as crossing the Cascade range there will
be but little trouble in finding a route of
easy grade for a railroad. I hope that
the railroad men will look to this mailer,
for by so doing I am s..re they will find
a gieat saving of money and lime.
Your friend and ob'i si rv'.. B.
Sensible. 1'tie Roseburg Pujiwhaler. in
s,,eakiug of Mr. Valhtndigham's mongrel
relations, says the following.
We have an abiding confidence that the
Democrats in every State will as-ume a
bold and undisguised position in favor of
ih Cons iut'ion ami against the atrocious
u-nrption o the present Federal Govern
ment. Il I his be done, success is already
assured, it. on the contrary, they should
uquiesce in the nsurptions. which are
based npori the fraudulent Fourteen! h and
r ifieentli Amendmen's. because they are
clothed in the garb o. laws, w'pii a mental
reservation thai they will lie nullified when
the power to do su is acquired, ihe peo
ple will have no confidence in their pro
fessions and defeat will he the inevitable
consequence. The mass of the people
have no interest in a struggle merely for
the spoils of office, but are almost, of ac
cord in dcmanduif that the Government,
shall be restorwl to its original form and
purity of administration.
As far as heard iroin the Iltrniil is the
only Democratic paper in Oregon Hint has
accepted 'fie situation and taken to its bo
som the Ohio mongrel platform. From a
conversation which we recently hail wiih
another editor, whose Democracy the
IIernl'1 questions, we infer that it will have
another supporter in the 'New Departure.";
1'his will make the Democratic pi ess of
Or. gon stand ticn for the "situation." ami
n'nf against it. While these nine mav be
lOintry patters, and the other two fhe
organs of the party." we apprehend that
the nine will tie taken as better reflecting
the sentiments oT the Democracy of this
Stase ihan the two who have taken a de
parture after strange and dangerous gods.
What is the Reason. We receive the
Washington St-tnl tr-l. published at
Olympia. marked regularly with an x.
The Enterprise is mailed regularly for
that paper, and if it does not reach the o!
I fice the fault, is not w'nh us. Where does
it go to? This is the question we would
like 'O have answered.
An exchange says that, the Radical
hobby is to steal all they can. tioi.es: I y if

COURTESY" OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA.
The Democratic Party.
The rise and progjvssof the Democrat
party in this country, says an exchange
its vicitndes and success, its triumph over
apparently insurmountable obstacles, and
its present formidable proportions nd
flittering prospects, constitute 'a part 'or
our political history that is both gratifying
and remarkable. Parties by the score
havetuteily vanished out of existence, and
are almost forgotten. They "were founded
on mere temporary issues. The Democratic
party has lived and will live. It is found
e.l on vital principles-fidelity to the su
preme law of the laud and the rights of
the States.
To these as another has elofpienHy faid.
it owes its greatness in the past, it's -pros
ects for the future. Driven from powet
by a revolution which no human Avisdom
j.iuld have done more than postpotie for
a brief season, it retained its organization
and its influence in the midst of political
and social convulsions which threatened
to up root and destroy the Government it
self. Hopelessly in the minority, with
both purse and sword in the possession of
reckless and fanatical enemies the dem
ocracy as a party never des -rted I heir
standard never uferly hist heart. Neith
er the clamors of war nor the terrorism of
triumphant factioifs ; neither fie persecu
tion of hereditary foes nor th. treachery
of former friends, were able to shake the
allegiance .if the masses in these eternal
trut hs which are not ol rt d iy. Inn lor all
time They knew in what ihey believed,
and no amount ot fl ittery on the one
hand, or i tit initiation on Ihe other, availed
to change their creed. Faith less fixed,
determination less firm, would have sealed
their doom long ago: but the Democratic
party has drawn from that faith and deter
mination a vitality which n i blunders or
defeat can quench, a vigor which neither
age nor adversity can overcome. It has
survived the v.ar ; survived the changes
which the War produced, and stands to
day with unbroked front, banners full high
advanced ami as ready to light as in years
gone by. w hen the very name of Democra
cy was a synonym of victoty. Our 6ppo
nents have pronounced the party dead
and buried a hundred times, ar.d sung 7e
D,-i.nns over the corpse which they fondly
hoped was beyond the reach of resurrec
tion, but again the canonize, bones have
burst their cerements, and Ihe uneasy
ghost strode forth clad in complete Eteel
as of yore.
The Democratic party "h still a living
example of ihe eloquent truth that princi
ples founded in right ami justice, though
trodden under Soot and forgotten for a
little while, cat! never die ; and that an
honest and intelligent people, however
mislead by prejudice Mid passim, will
sooner or later abandon iheir false gods
and worship at the shrine of constitutional
lrt-edom--liberty regulated and controlled
by righteous and impartial law.
II the Ohio pl.itlorin does not mean an
honest acceptance of the "situation." it is
a fraud upon the people, and in that event
nothing but a complete defeat should be
its reward. Let Democrats say what they
mean, ami we propose to interpret the
platform adopted in Ohio from what sip
pears on its lace. We detest the dishon
est and cowardly plan of "let us get into
power and we will correct all errois after
wauls, on any platform." It the people
will not elect Democrats on an open
avowal of their principics.it. is criminal
for them io tneei with suc-'.-.-s o:i ceitain
declarations and then, after they have
gained power, to act contrary to such pro
l ss io us. We want no such success. We
desire to be hom st with li e people ami
use no decep' ioii lor party success. 1 1
p iliticians desire to act otherwise, we ate
against Hi in. We want no office tor mere
spoils; il is a mailer of principle wuh us.

Ayer's Cathartic Pills,
For the relief and
cure of all derange
ments in the stom
ach, liver, and bow
els. They are a mild
aperient, and. aa
excellent purgative.
Being .purely vege
table, they contain
no mercury or mine
ral whatever. Much
serious sickness 'and
suffering is prevent
ed by their timelv
use; and every family should have them on bstnd
for their protection and relief, when retiuired.
Long experience has proved them to be the saf
est, 'surest, and best of sill the rills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
tlse blood is puritied, the corruptions of the sys
tem expelled, obstructions removed, and. the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by Ayrr'n J'ill, and
stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease
is changed into health, the value of which change,
w hen reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar cositing
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so
that thev are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, ordiet, or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, iiow to use them as a Family l'hysi'c,
ami for the following complaints, wliich these
1'ills rapidly cure:
For 2S.vi'i'.i or Bntlf g-owtioii, I.itlonn
n's. lAum tior ami .. of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stbm
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For J.ivironitlint and its various syrrip"
toms, ili4u fia';eSiit iie, Mick llta
ill-lie. JTiiiiiiilictt or ttrrrn MickiiewM, Ilil
iuu Colic anil ESiiiou iTvr, they should
be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the obstructions which
cause it.
For IS.ytsntPr.r or liiirrlicra, but one
mild dose" is generally required.
For tS2s'iJisi;it!nn. oiit, ravel, lsli
;iftion of tin' Eleart. I'ain iit the
Misle. ESack and X.oiii, they shoultl be contin.
uously taken, as reijuired, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints dissippear.
For lroj.r and Iropical Siwelllnjrn,
they should be taken in large and frequent dose9
to produce the effect of a drastic purge'.
For fHiiraioii, a large tlose should bo
taken, ;is it produces the desired effect by sym-O
pathy.
As a T) inner I'M, take one or two Villa to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious derangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, ohen finds that a dose of these
l'ills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect bu the digestive
apparatus.

t lis original
gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, foiling hair checked,
and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Xothing can restore
the liair where the follicles are de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; hut such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair'
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIK DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
