The Second Year- Ye this week commence our second year as editor and proprietor of the ExTKni-itisE. Our success has been beyond our most sanguine expectation, and the paper is on a good basis. It has steadily increased in subscription and advertising and we have no besitency in saying that there is not a paper in Oregon on a better basis. We are thankful to our friends for their liberal support, and hope that we have been de serving of the same, and that others may be added to our list. Within the next, two or three weeks we propose to dress our paper in new type. We shall aim to make the ExTEitruis; an interesting and readable local paper and shall spare no trouble to succeed in that object. We think it the duty of every citizen in the county to support the local paper, but it is only single justice for the members of the political pat ty in whose behalf it is ofighting to give it their aid. We shall not attempt to please everybody. That we have long since learned to be impossible. We propose to make the Estkri'klsu: a free and independent Democratic paper, riot controlled by cliques or aspirants, and ready to condemn wrong and uphold the right. We hope every Democrat in this county will take the paper during the next year, as there are two elections t come off Presidential and Stale within the next fifteen months, and every Dem ocrat needs his local paper. We desire to double our list within the next twelve months. The ExTicni'iiisi: is only 2 .j) per annum, for single subscribers, and to offer an inducement to those who may de sire to send a paper to their friends in ti e Easi, we will make this proposition, to charge $-1 50 where a person subscribes Jor two copies. We hone many of our friends will avail themselves ol this prop osition. We also make this oiler to clubs; Five copies for 12 50, and an extra copy to the getter up of the club ; Ten copies, $22, and an an extra copy to the getter up of the club. This 'makes the '-Kntkkvki.se the cheapest paper in Oregon. We hope our friends will exert themselves to extend the circulation. anJ see that the paper is in every Democratic house this county within the next year. in The Detroit Free 1'rss well remarks that a government of force is the favorite idea of the present dominant party. They lose sight (I the fact that ours is a G government of opinion that it is depend ent uon the popular will lor its very ex- q istence. This is in consequence of their distrust of the intelligence and patriotism of the people. They do not believe in the ability of the masses lor self-government. They have arrived at the old monarchical idea that society is divided into two classes the rulers and the ruhd. They are the rulers and tii3 people are the ruled. If the people will not obey their demands upon them, they must be made to. If the people will not vote the Radical ticket from choice, they must be made to by force. It is this outrageous idea that furnishes an apolegy for the bayonet and force bills which have found saneiion at the hands of Congress. They are ex tended as a means to enable the few to rule over and manage the many. They are based upon the assumption that the people are imeompetent to govern them Belve, and that the strong arm of mil O itary power must be used to protect the government from the v iolence and indis creet action of the people. This is the Kadical idea as embodied in their entire Congressional policy. It assumes that the -leaders of that party know beat what they want, and that the people must acquiesce in that assumption. Thk Om.y Amu'MKvr. The only argu ment we have heard in favor of the " new departure"' doctrine is, that ''slavery is no longer an issue and we may. as well acknowledge the fact." Nobody but an ass desires to make an issue on that part of the infamous amendments. No one wishes to re-establish slavery. 1 hat ques tion has been a dead issue" for the past fdx or eight years. The Democratic party (bas never been the slavery advocate, holding that it was a m ltter which belong ed, to the States as far as the freedom of the negro is concerned, only denounce the outrageous and villianous manner by cvrhich it was accomplished. The idea Gthat Democrats ever proposed to re- enslave the negro again is a Radical hobby to freightea their weak-minded followers. Don't En nous h. The Butler county Democrat, heretofore Yalianuigham's per- sdnal organ, repudiates him in the follow ing emphatic manner : " These new 'Departure Democrats' are sorely in need of straight jackets ; they are snreH" demented gone crazy. Their 'new departure1 has carried them into such deep water that they will all drown, and no one will care much if the waves of oblivion will roll over them forever and forever. Why should these 'new de parture men" now throw a bomb-shell to distract the party. We have been steadiiy gaiuing in all the States since 16C.. We should have swept the country at no dis tant period. This last piece of folly will lose us ten Democrats v, here it will gain U3 one Republican." The I'laindeahr after reviewing the Ohio resolutions i;i the most favorable light possible, in a column and a half ar ticle, conies to the following conclusions, in which we concur : The nomination i f General MeCook for Governor was in character with the fust and second resolutions, nil was no doubt mado from motives of policy. I', may be necessary, in order to carry Ohio, to re sort to trimming of this character : but our reading of the political history of our country has taught us that an open, manly appeal to the people to defend their rights, always meets a ready response and rallies to the cause a positive strength which commands success ; while a struggle for flower, based upon undefined principles, create no enthusiasm and generally meets with the defeat it merits. The Albany Democrat, Eugene Guard, lloeeburg PUmdeaier and East Portland Democratic Era ccnie out emphatic in condemnation of the Ohio platform. We have not seen the views of the Mercury, and olher Democratic papers of the State on this subject, excepting th.? Herald, which accepts the situation" anj ;3 tllns lar the ouly Democratic paper in Oregon fvhich has. How it was Done Sir John Ptose, of Canada, an astute, prompt, and energetic public man, says the Patriot, appeared here suddenly last winter, and in a quiet and thoroughly practical way, soon sounded the shallow depths of this Administration. He talked to the President, to Mr. Fish, to Mr. Bout well, and to others, each in the vein best adapted to his peculiarity, and discovered exactly what could be accomplished in the way of a negotiation. Of course, he professed an earnest desire for peace ; a deep affection for the United States : a profound admiration for everybody in power, and particularly for "Ili.s Excel lency"' in the White House, and his Secre tary of State. The bargain was made then and there, and before Sir John left Washington, he had the satisfaction of knowing that the llih Commission was agreed upon, and the terms substantially defined on boih sides. He was offered the place of Comissioner, but declined, and was substituted by Sir John MacDonald. It he did not actually promise to place Mr. IJoutwell's new loan on the English market, he certainly encouraged an idea, which, like some other great expectations, has failed. Sir John Rose went to England, and the High Comissioners. whom everbody has seen or heard of, came here. They were appointed for an object, and it has been attained. I nstead of carping at them. thee gentlemen are entitled to every credit, as sharp-witted, able, keen, and well-bred diplomatists, who upon our own soil, with every prejudice against them, representing a bad cause, and with the gravest embarrassments to confront, con quered every obstacle, and achieved a success which may be described as mar vellous. It is rue their adversaries were feeble and comparatively inexperienced; but even with this disadvantage, there stood the unanimous rejection of the Johnson-Clarendon Treaty ; the fulminatiou of Mr. Saiueer; the -new departure" of Mr. Motley ; the peppery despatches of Mr. Fish, and the distinct, broad, and belliger ent committals of the President, in two successive annual messages, and one of them not four months old, when the Com missioners arrived. These were grave and imposing ob stacles, but they did not deter the cour ageous Commissioners. They proceeded calmly and calculatingly. in less than ten days they knew the history cf every man in public life, his strength, (if he had any.) his weakness, and everything about him. All officials that might be' useful, directly or indirectly, were noted, and outsiders of every description came within the category ol observation of painstaking agents and workers. Society in all its re cesses was explored and utilized, and emissaries of all shades ol poliiics were scattered through the highways and by ways to gather informal ion anil to concili ate opinion. The press was specially con sidered as a power, and the utmost pains taken far and near, to secure its influence, or at least its neutrality. This explana tion may serve to open the eyes of those who have not been able to understand the course oi newpapers in various localities. The ablest counsel in various cities were employed on their own terms, and Wash ington would have been flooded with opmions as is opinions'' had they been needed. Not a point was neglected by which their object could be promoted, however trilling or indifferent it might seem to be. It is to be said of the British Commis- si'UK'is. that their sagacity ami untiring j industry deserved success. They Itborel tor it most zealously, from the first to the last moment. Their pioceedings were daily tratimitted to the Foreign Office, no matter what might be the engagement, be fore they sat down to dinner, so that the evening could be free for society, where every hour was pi ofitably employed, un consciously to those wiio were charmed with the presence of nobility, good breed ing, and affable manners. Our English friends meant business when they came here, and business was never fr'-,"u ten in j me most convival moment, or with the j most lnngn.hcatit guest. Tliey win. and they did win here in came to our own t.apital. carrying off such i prize as Croat Britain, in her grandest aspirations, never .'ee.cu oj pun. 1.W i reaty greatest diplomatic achievement cenlurv. is of the this Tiie Radical Banditti- Here is the way the tax-payers of Louis iana are swindled by their Radical rulers. The debt, of the State iti li-(.;," was about $.",000,)00. It is now $10.-1 1;.7(53. in cluding the -'accruing debt," which con sists of indorsements on railroad, ship canal and other jobs. If we compare the population and wealth cf Louisiana with thos3 of the State of New York, this debt, would represent with us the enormous sum of 8800,000 COO. Suppose our debt had been run tip from its present propor tions to the figure just named, how long would wo suffer the rule of the men who did it without flying to arms? Would we not even Kti-Klux them and glory in the f j!i(,i t!ie respectable citizens of Louisiana i ne ci eamres wlo nave lmnover n re nhi icallv described by a New 1 Orleans correspondent of the SnriiWieid 7V publican, the leading Radical paper in Massachusetts : A more contemptible, disreputable, low down, oppressive government than that of Lousisina never before polluted human records. It has not a decent aspect or re deeming feature, and as revolutions do not move backward, I see no prospect of favorable change at present. I have faith hi my people sufficiently strong to believe that if the body of men called a Legisla ture, just adjourned in this State, had done to the people of Massachusetts what they did to Louisiana, they would never left Boston alive. Gr.An to liKAU it. The Mercury of the 10th inst. says : The Exteuviuse says the I&rahl is the only paper that endorses the Ohio plat form. This is a mistake. The Benton Democrat very emphatically endorsed Yallandighanfs views, while the Mercury fore shadowed its aversion over a month since to making the amendments an issue ia our platforms. We hope our friends who are so anxious to give Yallandigham the credit of this 'New Departure" will make the correc tion and give "credit to whom credit is due." It was the editor of the Mercunj who took the forward step, and Ohio fol lowed his counsel. It is something to be proud of that Oregon has the man who advanced the idea for th Ohio platform. It is needless to say that the editor of the Mercury got his start in Yamhill. All great men get their start there. With a very few exceptions, we find the Democrats who are willing to accept the Ohio platform are of the kind who have voted the Radical ticket for eight years out of the last ten, and who now expect to get an office should the Democ racy get into Dower. The Vallandighaifc Resolutions. "We are in receipt of Democratic papers from the east, and as a general rule, we find them a unit against the new depar ture.'' The Ottumwa Democrat thus speaks its opinion : These resolutions are farmiliarly known throughout the country as the Demo cratic New Departure.'' In other words, it is a new set of principles and a new policy which the Democracy is expected to embrace. We cannot subscribe to this " New De parture." Keud over the resolutions carefully and you must either come to the conclusion that they are false and hypocritical in their tone or else they virtually acknowl edge that Democracy has been wrong all the time and Radicalism right all the time. We are quite familiar with the reply which trimmers and time-servers will be ready to greet us. Our ears have become weary during the last few months with this well learned but idiotic expression " We must no longer fight " accomplished facts, but make the battle on living issues.' The enemies of Democracy could not have invented a catch-word which has been fraught with more evil. If the code of morality is to be so changed that when Evil accomplishes its purpose, we are no longer to fight that Wrong, but accept it as accomplished and cease all opposition to its influences, then may we b gin to believe that the time has come w hen the Devil is turned loose for a little season." Wrong is wrong ! what was right tan years ago is right now, and w hat was wrong then should be condemned now! Men may change, but principles are immortal J Vallajdigham may be ready to write himself down a demagogue but the doc trines of Democracy are imperishable ! He may construct a platform to suit his easy conscience but Democrats are under no obligations to swallow; on the con trary their honesty forbids them to wander after strange gods or endorse false philos ophy. Speaking in behalf ol the true Jefler soniau Democracy of the country we say that no matter who recommends or favors this ' New Departure" we will not ac cept any of the infamous Amendments as part and parcel of the Constitution. They were forced upon the country through fraud and crammed down our throats by Grant's bayonets. Cur Conventions have heretofore dt tionary acts and uoncced these revolu our conventions then were right. We shall neither go back on our sol emn assertions, or give the Radicals room to say : " You acknowledge that you lied then are you sure that you are in earnest now 1" Don't Endorse It. The East Portland Era has the follow ing sensible remarks in relation to the Ohio Platform,, which we most heartily endorse : We never have believed and can never be made to admit that the three iccent (so called) amendments to do not in anv respect u the Constitution te.r or i,v;di;'ii Ihv original lieary and eh-1 racier of the Federal Government. However anions the mode of adoption, we admit that these amendments are a part of the law of the hu . an 1 must, be obeyed until altered, ai : : mded or repealed ; 'but wo cannot, go b;ck upon our record and now say thai all out former opposition to their adoption was simply fae ions. The Fifteen Ih Amendments sti uck a fatal blow at the great cardinal Democratic doctrine of State Rights, which we have always be lieved to be "the original th-ory and char acter of the Federal Government' and we are not prepared to give up the idea and ignore its truth. We have never counseled nullification mr secession, but hold to the doctrine that the people of the Government have the right to alter, amend or even change the form ot government at pleasure, provided always that such al teration or modification shall be made in accordance with the fundamental com pact. '1 he fourth resolution in the Ohio plat form ''declares opposition to the attempts at centralization by the General Govern ment." tte. How this resolution can be reconciled with the first, which says the "last three amendments to the Constitu tion are no longer political issues before the people." is not quite clear to us. We have seen no other attempt by the Gener al (Jo c ruiiHjiL unlesss the Adiiiimlration is the General Government, to centralize power other than in the amendments "re cently declared adopted.'' The fifth resolution repudiate; the doc trine that any law or legislative policy of any party is a finality, and declares the right of the people to alter or repeal them." Just so. And because it is so, we have the right to demand die repeal or modification of the Fifteenth Amendment, or any other amendment or law which revolutionizes '-the original theory and character oi the Federal Government."

COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, The Ku Klnx Committee. It will be remembered that Congress at the last session appointed a Joiut Com mittee of the two Houses to investigate, during vacation, the condition of things at the South and report at its next session. Of course the Radicals have a majority of the Committee and can control its mode of procedure. It was generally under stood that the Committee would divide up in sub-Committees and visit those por tions of the South which were reported to be disturbed. This was the only fair mode of proceeding and therefore it was just the mode the Radical members did not adopt. In the Washington Patriot of the 22d instant we notice the proceedings of the Committee : Mr. Bavard offered a resolution to this effect : That the true object and intent with which this joint committee was ap pointed was to ascertain, by personal ex amination and the testimony of witnesses taken at their respective localities, the true condition of affairs in the States lately in insurrection, and that any report to be made to Congress should bo based upon knowledge and information so obtained. This fair and frank proposition predica ted upon the action of Congress, was voted down by a strict party division, 12 Republicans to 7 Democrats. Mr. Voorhees proposed that the legal rules of evidence which prevails in the courts of the United States should govern the committee and the sub-committees in their investigations. The Republicans refused, by the same vote, to be governed by such rules of evidence as are universally recognized, but claimed the right to make their own regulations, and to fake testimony as they Gleemed most expedient for party purposes. Mr- Yan Trump then offered a resolu tion declaring that mere rumor, and what is known as hearsay testimony in the courts, should be excluded. This motion was defeated, as the others had been, because the Radicals rely en tirely upon fabricated reports and rumors to make up their catalogue of "outrages" for political consumption. These illustrations will serve to show the spirit which animates the majority, alter their refusal to go South, and their appointment of a committee to sit here and manufacture testimony, a.-: iast Winter, by summoning the was done very ruf- fians and vagabt who committed i the only crimes which had disfigured cer tain localities in North Carolina. Hence, it is easy to loresliudow what course this sub-committee will pursue, which his taken a recess lo the 1st of June, when Mr. Scott and las associates will repeat the discreditable proceedings which are already embodied in a report remarkable only for the absence of eander, common justice and truthfultiess. This crusade against ten millions of wdtite men "our Southern brethern,' as they are hypocritically called in some quarters is organized with an animus of hostility, and with a design to misrepre sent. Hence, they are denied the com mon rules of justice, and are to be tried by a jury of part isans, expressly packed to convict. y Fri.m Following are the two resolution-, iu full passed by the Montgomery county (Ohio) Convention, and which are generally known as the new departure' They are enough to sickea any honest Democrat : First That agreeing to disagree in all respects as to the past, we cordially u:iit.j upon the li ing issues of the day, and hereby invite all men of the Republican party who believe new upon the present issues, as we believe, to co-.perale fully and actively with us upon the basis of perfect equality with every member of the IVmucratio party.

Shooting Affray. A shoot ing affray occurred at Salem last Wednesday after noon. The way we get the story is as fol lows : Sam Clarke, editor of the talesmen. had said something in his paper which did not meet the approbation of Vv 11. Walking, Siiperituendep.t of the Peniten tiary, and he- met Clarke aril atiempUd to cowhide him, but Clarke drew a kni.e una n at Kins shot at him three or four times, missing him almost entirely only one ball feuehinor the skin on his back. Clarke was taken home in a carriage more freightened than hurt. We consider Mr. Watkin's attack on Mr. Clarke unjusti fiable and disgraceful. Mr. Clarke is much the inferior of Mr. Watkms in strength and if he had offended or said anything which he did not like, should have taken Clarke across his knee and gave him a fatherly spanking. On the olher hand. Clarke has been guilty of a most systim ttic and dirty attack on Sir. Wr. and the Democratic par! v. which is beneath the dignity of a man. and only i excusable in such narrow-minded itidivid- j u lis as Sam Clarke. Mr. Watkir.s was ar- j rested ai d placed under bonds in the sum ! SI.):K). A haaring of the case is to be had to-day. STATE NEWS. The Ellendale Woolen Mill Company offer the remnants of their property saved lrom the fire for sale. A State Temperance Convention, the call for which was published iti our col umns some time ago, will meet at Salem on the Kith inst. In a cave near Wilbur. Douglas county, the bones of two human beings were found last week. Tue skulls were almost perfect, the other bones very much de cayed. The Statesman says that A. A. McCulIy. President of the P. T. Company, states that the boats of that line will carry pas sengers attending the Temperance" Con vention from any point on the river at half fare, going and returning. The camp meeting of the Methodist Church was closed at Dixie last Sunday evening. It is stated that there were up wards of one thousand persons on the g round to witness the closing exercises. The same paper says : We are inform ed that Judge Poise intends to withdraw his demurrer to the contest for the Judge ship in this District, and permit Ponham to take by default as the easiest way to wiud up his official relations. This in sures that Donh am will be Judge. There are reasons why this stop is preferable to a resignation. Judge Poise is arranin to enter on the practice of law in tliis city, and will do much better financially than to continue in office. The BuUdin say3 that Postal Agent Under vood, who has been dangerously ill at Eugene. City for some time past, is again able to attend to business, and ar rived in this city on Wednesday evening. We learn from him that a mail route has jnst been awarded special service, to be gin on Monday next by Mr. Jesse D. Carr, lrom Dalles, by the way of Bridgeport' LewUville, King's Valley and Philomath to Alsea Valley. This route has long been needed, and will supply a large set tlement of people who have very pa tiently awaited the tedious details neces sary to bring it about. Better late than never. The people on this route have tad no mail facilities for the past year. On the 10th inst. the Grand Lodge ol Free and Accepted Masons of Oregon will convene at Salem. A telegram from Roseburg has the fol lowing, under date of the 11th inst : There was a terrible affray this morn ing about 10 o'clock, between Thomas and Henry Gale ot the Ensign, and Win. Thompson, editor of the Plaindeakr. It occurred in front of the postofiice. It is impossible yet to tell who shot first. The quarrel arose out of some newspapei article. Thompson is shot in three places through the lace and neck and through the shoulder and his side grazed by i bullet. Thomas Gale is shot through th breast. The wound is dangerous if no fatal. Henry Gale is beaten over tue head with a revolver and badly hurt. The wounds of Thompson and Thomas Gale are dangerous. It is said by every one that saw the affray that Thomas Gale shot first. A Salem dispatch of the Rth inst. says : While Linden Wright and his two sons, aged 12 and 14. were fording the Santiam river at Wood's Ferry, near Marion Sta tion in a wagon yesterday evening, the double-tree became detached, the wagon was carried k-to deep water by the rapid current and both boys were drowned, Mr Wright himself "barely escaped a watery grave. The notorious convict, She.ltz, with a 20 pound shackle on, ran pest the guards this evening and made his escape into the woods on the south side of the prison. An alarm was given, and the people from the city went out and now have the strip of woods surrounded. It is hardly possi ble for him to make good his escape a re ward of 8100 is offered for his capture. The following letter cxp ams us tself: Wim.AMF.rrio OttruAUi). June 1,1871. Mr. A. R.

Clackamas County, June 16, lb71;tf The I'aix Killek" may justly be styled the great medicine of the world, for there is no region of the globe into which it has not found its way, and been largely used and 1 lghly pii.ed. Moreover, there is no clime to which it has not proved o be well adept :d for the cure of a considerable quantity of disease ; it is a speedy and safe remedy for burns, scalds, cuts, bruises, wounds" and various other injuries, as well as for dysen tery, diorrheca und bowel complaints gener ally, it is admirably suited for every race of men on the face of the globe. It is a very significant fact, tluvt notwith standing the long period of vear.s th it the " Fain Killer" has been before the world, it has never lost one whit of its popularity' but, on the contrary, the call for' it has steadily increased from its fir.-t ci-coverv and at no previous time has the demand f'.r it been so great, or the quantity made been so large, as it is to-day. Another significant fact is, that nowhere has the I'ain Killer ever been in higher le pute, or been more generally used bvfamilie and individuals, than it bus b ecu here at norae, wuere it was hrst discovered and in troduced. That the I'ain Killer wiil con tinue to be, what we have styled it, thk CHEAT MEIMCINK OF THK WOULD, there CavillOt be the shadow of a doubt.

Ayer's Ague Cure, For IPever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Eernittont Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c, and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or rniasraatia poisons. No one remedy is louder called for by the necessities of the American people Uum a cure and sate cure l'orFever and Ague, such we are how enabled to offer, with a perfect certainty that it will eradicate the disease, and with assur ance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise from its use in any quantify. . That which protects from or prevents this dis order must be r immense service in the com munities where it prevails. I'revention is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis temper, 'i his "Crni:" expels the mia-maiio poison of Fkveu am Acta-; from the system, and prevents the development of the disease, if taken on the llvst approach of its premonitory svmptoms. It is not only the 'nest remedy ever Yet discovered for this class of comj. faints, but kl.-o the choape.vt. The larire quantity we siip plv for a dollar brings it within the. reach of evervbodv; and in bilious districts, where Fevkk ani Aci'E prevails, everybody should have it, and u-o it freely, both for euro und re fection. It is hoped this price will place it within the reach of all the poor as well as the rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any other over discovered for the speedy and certain cure of Intrrmittents is, that it contains no (Jui nine or mineral; consequently it produces no quinism or other injurious eiic'ds whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are left as health-,- as if thev had never had the disease. Fever and A .cue is not alone the consequence of the mia -mat ic poison. A errc-at variety of dis orders arise from its irritation, amorce which are Neuralgia, Klieumatism, Gout, Headache, liiindnoss. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh. Asth ma, l'alpitation, Painful Affection of the spleen, Ilvsteries, I'ain in the Howe's. Co5i-, Paralysis, and derangement of the Stomach, all of which, when orbrinating in this cause, put on the in termittent tvpe', or become periodical. This " Gnu: " expels the poison from the blood, and consequentlv cures them ail alike. It is an in valuable protection to immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the mala rious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to- the infection, that will be ex creted from the system, and cannot accumulate in suilicient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more valuable for protection than cure: and lew will ever suffer from Inter mittents ii" they avail themselves of the protec tion this remedy affords. For Urcr (;ottIninfs, arising from torpid ity of the Liver, it is .an excellent remedy, stim ulating the Liver into healthy activity, and pro ducing many truly remarkable cures, where other 'medicines fall. ritEPAKED BY Dr. J.
