OFFICIAL PAPER' FOU"CI.ACKAM AS COUNTY.
Oregon City, Oregon ,
Friday : : : June 30, 1871.
Making Faces-
The New York Herald was the origina
tor of the Ohio 'Departure,' a'nd nominated
Gen. Sherrr.nir. -on the platform. Now,
ihce its platform has been adopted and
"Sherman refuses to accept the position, it
is making faces at the Democracy for al
lowing itself so be tooled into this fatal
'error. From a late issue of that paper
we take the following :
The nomination of General George W.
McCook, who fought nobly for the Union
and who has a good war record, for Gov
'ernor of Ohio. 'shows thafthe Democracy
of that State has no sympathy with re
bellion. Whatever may be said of the
"onytTsion of Vail indigham and others
hbhad opposed the war. no one e in
'vloubt the sent unents or misinterpret the
'conduct of Gen. McCook.- who fought
the rebels and lor the Union. lie is. then,
the representative mm of the reunited
Democracy of v)hio, anil the copperhead
faction of that State lias ceased to exist,
or, at least, it has become powerless. The
resolutions adopted as .the platform of the
party cover the ground as to the constitu
tional amendments. We recognize" the
Convention said, '-as accomplished facts
the three amendments to the constitutor)
oi'ecently declared adopted, and consider
Abe same as no longer political issues be
fore the country." True the Convention
denounced the 'extraordinary means by
which these wore brought about." but
does not go behind that tact to deny the
binding obligations of the amendments.
In I tie second resolution the Convention
was more explicit even ; for while de
m mding that there should be no laumdin
arian interpretation of the constitution,
as now amended, to enlarge the powers
of the government beyond what is strictly
expressed ii? the amendments, it pledgt-s
(the Democratic party "to a full, faithful
.n absolute execution and enforcement
'of the constitution as it now is. so as to
secure equal rights to all persons under
it, without distinction of race, color or
condition."' So far. then, as the platform
and the nominee for Governor of the
Ohio Democracy go, nothing more could
be desired to satisiy the most ardent
Union man or the greatest enthusiast for
the equality and rights of all men,
Whether white or black.
This is, indeed, a ' right about face"
or the unterrified and a wet blanket Irom
Vbe Northern Democracy to the Southern
Ku-Klux Klans. It requires the party, in
a single bound, to clear the back track on
the road which they have been ten years
fighting and travelling toward "the last
ditch,'' which is the river Jordan.
This is a surrender, indeed, not only of
the army of Sedan, but ot Metz, Strars
tuirg and the whole Democratic Rhine
frontier to the borders of Switzerland.
Djes it own the ro.id to a great Demo
cratic victory ? Mr. John Qincy Adams
(a chips off the old block) says yes. The
fuedicine men of the Tammany Wigwam,
in their diamonds, war paint and feathers.
Fay yes. "Jerry IJlack.M the right hand
man of Old Buck on State sovereignty,
and all the Eonrbons of Pennsylvania, in
State Convention, say yes. And their
brethern of Ohio after a hard fight on the
question, say yes. And the same echo
comes up from the Confederate crossroads
bf Kentucky, and from the graveyard ol
Hood's army of Nashville, and even from
Appomattox Court House. Very good.
But still this is not a surrender? It is. in
fact; but, according to Democratic con
struction, it is only a change of base,
from the Chickahominy to Turkey Island
Bend, like that of "Gner.rt McClelian.
The party accepts these amendments, but
Teserves the right, of interpretation.
That's something, but not much. It is
like that good old Democrat who believed
in temperance principles, but was opposed
to their enforcement. It is like the honest
Dutchman who got down from his hor.-e
eo get on better. It is. however, following
the example of IVIissier at Sebastopool.
who said. "If we can't get ii at, the fro tit
door we will try the back window," lor
we are bound to got in.
C action. It is the custom with some
men, who are not possessed with moral
courage to resist a wrong to counsel si
lence for fear that circumstances may oc
cur by which a certain policy, obnoxious
and wrong, may become the general senti
ment of ti party, and be engrafted into the
pirty platform, for fear that a record may
be made against such a wrong. This is
particularly the case in this "new departure'-'
question. Men say "you had better
pay as little as possible against it, as the
National Convention may adopt this
very platform and then the record will be
brought against you.'' Our record h s
already been made up. and for the last
ten years we have fought the very idea
embCdied in the "new departure," which
record we do not propose to go back up
on. Men may change, but true principles
never do, and we have never yet seen the
time when we were compelled to "go back
on our record." We would rather fali by
- I
that record than have success on L Ise
and dangerous professions. It is better
to be right and consistent than to have the
Presidency. This is our motto and those
who do not endorse it. are at perfect lib
erty to accept any and till of the discarded
Iladical usurpations they may see fit.

A Correct View-
We lake the following letter from the
San Francisco Examiner of a recent date.
It is a true expose of the position in
which the "new departure" will place the
Democracy at the next Presidential elec
tion, should this departure be adopted.
While we desire success as much as any
mail, We do not wish it at such a sacrifice
of principle. The letter speak's the senti
ments of every true and honest Democrat,
and we hope it'wili be thoroughly read. It
is signed "K."
An important question arises for the
consideration of the Convention about to
assemble in Sacramento. Shall we adopt
the Vallandigham platform? Or. in other
words, shall we accept and indorse the
amendments which the Radicals claim
to have incorporated into the Constitution?
I think not. and for the following reasons:
1. We thereby virtually accept and in
dorse Chinese suffrage. These "so called
amendments have deprived the States cf
all power ot regulating suffrage, and de
clare that all persons shall be admitted to
the bal lot 'box without regard to race, na
tionality or color. That makes voters tit
once of all negroes; it makes voters of all
Chinamen born on our soil, and it
maktvi voters of ail Chinamen that come
here, provided the' get naturalized. The
word "while" in our naturalization laws
is the only barrier between the Chinaman
and the ballot-box. a .id that barrier c -n
be removed at any time by fifteen minutes
work in each Inmse of Congress. Our
bands ate tied, and Chinese suffrage is
lumping over 113 suspended by a single
thread, which is liable to be severed ataiv
time by the action of our beautiful Judi
cal Congress. Are Democrats in favor of
amendments which have brought Chinese
suffrage so near us? Having carried the
Stale so gloriously against the Fifteenth
Amendment two years ago, are we now
prepared to attempt to carry the St ate or
that amendment? Is anything to be gain
ed by this exhibition of ground and loft y
tumbling : Can the sturdy Democratic j
masses be made to see 1 he propriety of
this little joker game in politics.
2. We thereby virtually consent to the
permanent establishment of negro rule and
its consequent baib irism in the extreme
Southern States. There are to-day in the
Legislature of one of the Southern States
eighty negroes, seven'y four of whom, it is
aiid. can neither read nor write, m iking
laws to govern American white men !
Tins disgusting spectacle needs no com
ment. It is the direct result, of Radical
interference in Southern affairs. If the
Southern people were allowed to manage
their own aff.rrs in their own way they
would soon find a remedy for these evils.
All they ask is to be let alone. And when
they turn to us Northern Democrats and
entreat us to shield them from further
R tdicai interference, shall we ay to them:
No. we can not help you. Moreover, we
shall not try to help you. We have en
dorsed the Abolition measures, and here
after intend to assist the Abolitionists in
keeping you beneath the heel of the negro'."
Shall we talk in this way to the South
ern people-? Shall we act iu thin way to
ward them? "And if we thus abandon
them, how can we expect them to show
any zeal in behalf of our party? How
can we have the cheek to call upon the
thousands of Southern men and friends of
the South in this State to vole our ticket ?
3. We thereby virtually acknowledge
that the Radicals are wiser than we. We
virtually say to the Radicals : "Yon have
been right during these years past, and
we have been wrong. We. therefore,
abandon our errors and now come over
and join you.'-"
Can the Democritic party afford to
make any such acknowledgment? Will
not every Radical chuckle over it and call
it a Democratic surrender? And will not
everv Democrat, when thus taunted, hang
his head iu silence and shame ? And if we
concede that the Radicals have been right,
in the past, will not the people jump to
the conclusion that the Radicals will be
right in the future? Will not this course
on our part amount, to a practical recom
mendation to the people to vote with the
Radicals hereafter?
-L We thereby virtually acknowledge
that the Radical; are stronger than we.
And not only stronger than we are now.
but stronger than we ever have been or
ever expect to be. thereby acknow l
edge that the Radicals are tire only parly
that for the past seventy years has been
able to affect, any alterations in the funda
mental law of the land, ard that there is
no prospect of counterbalancing these by
miking further Alterations in the future.
Such a concession is un-American.- It is
the peculiar excellence of our institutions
that they afford means n! remedying any
and every existing evil, and tor us t,
confess that the acts of Radicals cannot be
wiped out. is to confess that American free
govern m nt is a failure. Besides, ho party
can afford to coneed. its inferiority to the
enemy, if it exuec's to continue the ii.
No party can raliy t's followers if it
rht.
in-
scribes the words of surrender on its ban
ner. Said the bey who lelt a conscious
ness o! inferiority. "If I cannot whip
yout big brother. I can make up faces at
your sif ter.'' The Democra-i ; parly, if it
adopts these ameiidmen s. wi'l be obliged
o co tent i s.df with making tip faces at
he em my.
Gentlemen of the Convention ! it may
be possible that Radicalism has inOieied
wounds upon the country that can never
bo healed, but do not advoitise I he fact
do not advertise your inability to cope
with the foe. You are not called upon to
announce your hostility to thoe amend
ments in express terms, but. for heaven's
sake, do not indorse them. Allude to n.i
tional matters in such general terms that
all Democrats can indorse the platform.
There are some of us to whom it is a la
bor of love to fight Abolitionism, from
Alpha to Omega, from the foundation
stone to the cornice. Do not throttle us.
Do not tie our hands. If others prefer to
discharge pop guns at the branches f the
Abolition tree do not prevent us lrom en
deavoring to lay the axe at the root.
Joe Hooker on Grant
Gen. Joe IIookeT when recently in
Oswego was interviewed by a reporter
for the raU'idbiin. The account says :
"In the course of conversation this
morning he frankly expressed ins opinion
of President Grant, 'lie tried.' said the
General, -to get control of the Grand
Army of the Republic, but we blocked
him. It is my absolute conviction that
were you to walk the length of Broad w.iv.
yon could not meet a man less qualified
for the Presidency than Grant. We of the
army know him better than the people at
large.
"When his adjutant. Gen. Rawlins was
alive, the President seemed to be efficient
and successful, but when Rawlins died.
Grant s bottom fell out. He is now in his
uornial condition.'
What are his chances for re-election.
General?' inquired one of the gentlemen!
General Hooker T am no politician :
declined going to conventions, etc.. in
lJ-t-S. chiefly because I regarded Grant
unfitted for the office of President ; but
from observation. I now think, candidlv
and without prejudice, that Grant cannJt
carry a half dozen States. He is very
Cheap.' '
Tbe two
new departure"' organs are
I having a fine time fightin? each other.
Business Enterprise-
F ont the Democratic Ei a J
The lack of enterprise displayed by
Portlanders is growing to an axiom
Nowhere vitbin her limits do you find
factories or anything of a binding nature
to insure ils future prosperity. Having
facilities within a short distance (Oregon
City) from whence to obtain water to turn
a thousand it necessary wheels of man
ufactories, and at no great expense con
sidering what otht-r cities have done for
their future preservation, the capitalists
sit supinely down and wait. The tiine
has arrived when our moneyed men must
be up and doing, and instead of attempt
ing to kill the goose that L13S the golden ;
egg, should seek to preserve the same. ,
The locks and canal to be built by appro
l,riation ;tl Oregon City will, within the
course of two years, be completed, throw
ing open the Willamette river to free nav- ;
igation. Already is a company contem
plating constructing a canal from the
Tualatin river, by way of Oswego, to the
Willamette river, thus giving a nearer
and more "pr-rciicable outlet to the Wil
lamette river for steamers engaged in the
carrying trade on the Tualatin. The rail
road runs through several counties, and
by the end of this year will be so far com
pleted as to run through till the giaiu
growing counties on the east side of the
Willamette river. Our citizens have not
as yet moved i:i any enterprise calculated
to .cheapen the storage and handling of
the grain that will flnv through these
channels to market. The compeii'ion be
tween the railroad and steamboat com
pany is not of such a nature as to cause
t-iiher to lose, but lias lessened transoi ta-
lion so much as causes to the tanners
shipping grain to market to meet with a
handsome ivm.iueiMtinu. which up to two
years ago has been met with a loss.
What is required is the construction of a
grain elevator for the reception and ship
ment of grain in bulk. When the grain
elevator at Vallejo. California, was under
contemplaiioa of erection, a, very great
and serious objection was put forward
that grain shipped in bulk would not
stand a sea Voyage by way of the Horn :
and even after the elevator was built and
the first ship loaded, the underwriters re
fused to insure for some time, but after
the telegram was received staling that
the vessel had arrived in Liverpool with
cargo in a perfect and sound condition."
thin and not until then were the ship
ments made in bulk with any degree of
confidence as to the result by shippers.
'1 he consequence has been that during the
last season many vessels loaded at Vallejo,
ai.d close observers think thai moie ships
will be loaded at Vallejo the coming sea
son than in San Franei-co. Here on the
east side we have good foundations along
the water front above the highest Hood
upon which to erect grain elevators, lac
tones, etc.. and it behooves those owning
land to offer inducements to p irties who
may de.-ire the erection of any man nf ac
tor e or improvements of any n i ure cal
culated to increase the business prosperity
ot the city, and place it beyond the pos
sibility of having its prosperity blighted
by the building of rival towns or cities.
That "Ii "'. Some of our friends ask us
what we propose to do should the National
Convention adopt a platform with the
new departure" in it In the first place
we have no fears of any' such result, as
the "new departure" policy will be as
dead as dead can be immediately af.er the
fall elections. The tricksters who adopted
it for success, will find that the people, es
pecially Democrats are not easily deceive.!
Besides, in the event that. Hie "new de
parture" element succeeds in the National
Convention, the nominee will be either
Hancock or Sherman, and with such a
platform and candidates, there eerbuniy
remains no differen.se between the Radicals
and the Democracy. While the "new de
parture" may at present be popular, it
will be qnally unpopular, after it meets
with the defeat: in store for it this fall.
Time will show these erring brethren
where they have committed a great wrong,
and learn tl.em a lesson which they will
nal forget at the next National Convention.
With a "new departure" platform and
Sherman or II menek as the candidate the
Democracy have no candidate in the field,
and we think there will be found enough
honest white men who will place another
name before the people to be voted for.
And of course, the Democracy will be de
feated again by the work of its supposed
friends.

The Oregonian says :
The neighborhood of the Cornucopia
saloon, coiner of Alder and Second streets
was thrown into great excitement by the
deliberate shooting of a man named Kelly
by Zed Wilson. Kelly is one ot the men
who attempted, some three years ago. to
rob Ada Phillips' house cn Third street,
and who was arrested in the act, tried,
convicted, and sent to the penitentiary for
two years. In some manner (we do nol
remember how) Wilson was connected
with the exposure of the intended rob
bery, and his evidence went far to convict
the robbers. Kelly, not. long since, com
pleted his term in the penitent ia rv and re
turned to this city. It is said that Wilson
has for some days been acting as if afraid
of Kelly, and l hat he lias been known to
follow him about, as if keeping wa'ch of
him : or to gel a chance to do the deed he
perpetrated last evening. A little before
ItJ o'clock. Wilson went into the saloon,
corner of Ahlet and Second streets, p issed
through a side door into a gambling room
in the rear of the building adjoining the
saloon. Kelly was sitting or standi ig in
this room. Wilson entered and immedi
ately fired upon Kelly two shots. One of
them, at least, took effect in the head.
Kelly died in a few hours after he was
shot.

no fears as to our couree in this matter.
We have fortgl t the Radicals single-handed
and alone in Oregon, when it was any

when an -Improved Radical Discovery"
is attempted to be fastened on the Dem

in lighting for Ihe principles we have up
held during the past ten years. Though
the whole country were to accept what
we consider wrong, we are not prepared
to surrender. Our past record will be a

man are said to be cool to each other. A
Washington correspondent of tbe Cincin
nati Commercial writes as follows :
"Grant and Sherman have nol been the
best of friends for several months. For
outside appearances, they have always
had a show of cordiality to prevent re
mark, bitt it is known to the inner circle
that there is not a particle of love between
them. Some say they have had an open
rupture. At any rate, considering that
Grant is the author of the Ku-Klux move
ment iu Congress, that lie recommended it
in a message, and thought itof importance
enough to issue a proclamation, tiie fact
that Sherman attacks iind ridicules it as
unnecessary and mischievous, will not
help him in Grant's good opinion."
The Oregouian has the following ':
We hear from all directions that the

file late rains have, been very advanta
geous to late sowed grain, and a fine crop
is anticipated. The Columbia bottom
lands have suffered greatly from the flood
and the greater part 61 the Vegetable crop
has been destroyed. A large part of the
supplies of this city are usually received
from that part of the country, and the
crop being thus a failure, we shall have
to draw upon the Upper Willamette Val
ley for potatoes, onions, turnips, cabb iges.
etc., articles not. generally brought in
large" pi-amities from that direction. Vege
tables will bear a goo3 price next fall,
and the interior fanners would do well to
take care of their crops and promote the
yield by all available means. This city
is now buying potatoes and many kiuds of
vegetables from Ja lit" rnia.
What is the Dhtkhknce ? The now
Democratic platforms denounce the "Kn.
Klux"' and "Bayonet election" bills. The
Radicals as a. general thing, denounce
these same measures, and we apprehend,
in consequence of the unpopularity of
these Radical acts, they will not be en
forced so as to become obnoxious until
after the next Presidential election, and
the people will fail to see where (he dif
ference lies between the Democracy and
j the Radicals. Hence, the honest Repub
licans will fail to see what there is to be
gained by .supporting the Democratic
nominations.
The Democratic Convention, which met
at Sacramento on the 2Jih inst. nominated
II. II. Ilaight by acclamation for Gov
