The beginning of the end is at hand end vwe feel like throwing up our hat and crjing out hnzzah; we are emerg ing from the -dark, war shadows into the broad lijght of peace and prosper ity. Five years ago an active war pcased, an now we are about to return to specie payments. In fact, some of jhe principal cities have already com paenced paying out silver change. The financial qunstion is solved by time, and it only remains for the national debt to -be paid when tho workiof the Union Republican party shall have beep ac complished, j Before then the party must hold together apd remain in pow er. The indications now are that this will be an easy j matter, for the last prop but one has been knocked from under the platform .of our opponents. They cannot harp loDger on the kind of mon ey that shall be used in the redemption of our bonds, for a paper dollar is worth as much as one of gold. The only thing now remaining to them is the dangerous doctrine' of ' repudiation, which is advocated by a part of the pemocrats alone. With the present state cf our finances j it will not be a difficult matter to fund ; our 4etjt in securities, bearing a small rate of interest. When this ehall be dob4, re can pee our way out,of onr troubles and shall rest content, and this will certainly -come to pass if the Republican party shall observe its usual Yjgilance an4 retain officers of its owq phoosiiigat tbehead of governmenjaj a2airg. Precinct Convention. Republi ' pans in the various precincts will bear ip . mind that their primary meetings 'yynM be held on Saturday next for the i purpose ' of sending delegates to the 'County Convention,1 to be held on the 2QtT of Ifarch. We urge every Re publican rotor to attend the primaries fand Jielp to send the best men to the County Convention. The business to be transacted by that body is the choos ' ing of elpyen delegates to attend the State nominating "Convention, to be held in Portland on the 7th of April next, v From the Oregoniap we, learn that the proapect of building, a plank road fjrom that city-to the Tualatin Plains is 4 being agitated. The same measure was immenced in 1850, but failed after ho road had-bcen completed afi3tanpe gf three milps up thp canyon. T Importation As far back as the election of Uu chanan, in 185G, a pernicious usage sprang up in political circles that wa desire to condemn. It is the prac tice of hiring men to go from one coun ty, where they are not needed; to the other doubtful counties for the purpose of voting at the State and county elec tion. The practice is commonly known under the'name of importation of vot ers, and was first resorted to by the Deniocratidparty, and, as far as we 1 know and we think we are posted the thing has entirely been confined to that political organization. - In I860 this county was sought to be carried by that method of gerry mandering, but failed simply because the importation was not large enough. At the last election it was tried again, and now this year the same game is being put up if correct information has been imparted, and, in fact, some members of the Democratic party coldly admit that such is the ease. Now such resorts are wrong and cor rupting, and have a tendency to ulti mately overthrow our Government. Happily the best men in the opposition party, utterly refuse to endorse such ac tions, and always condemn any who en gage in the scheme. Hence, of a ne cessity, the baser members ' carry on their work secretly. To cover up their tracks more' effect ually they are charging importation into this county upon the Republican party. They believe in the old dodge of "stop thief." We take this opportunity to say we know of no person who has been in duced to come into Polk county for the purpose of voting, nor do we know of any parties who haye sought to pro cure such voters: Such a course, in the very nature of things, is impossi ble, even if Republicans were never so willing. In the first place, Republi cans have not the money to spend in such illegitimate enterprises ; in the second, if they had thataooey they could not get tho men, for the. party is made up of steady, sober citizens, who will not go ityM&p n a county three months larboard and whwkjpmoncy. On the other hand it is not from such reasons that Republicans refuse to en gage in such devices, but from princi pie and their high sense of political honor. And we believe there are many Dera ocratsJof the' same mind, who, when the day of election comes, will rebuke their party associates for such7 conduct by 'voting the Republican ticket. We expect that the Democrats will deny the charge of importation, and if they do, we will ask why ft is that the great manufacturing corporation in Sa lem has established such a large wood yard in the, bottoms above Eola ? And why was the same thing done two years ago ? The company now has, in its yard, over a hundred cords of the wood prepared at that cutting. It is not legitimate financial management to have a three year's, stock of wpod on hand for the purpose of rotting down in the pile. Nor would a legitimate business necessitate the company to send to Scio, in Linn tounty, to get men of the right political party. The course left for Republicans to pursue, inasmuph as we cannot rely upon the honest portion of the Demo cratic party for help, is to sec that every man comes out to the polls and votes, not only for his political opin ions, but against this nefarious impor tation scheme. With a full vote of the Republican; party we stand . a good chance of defeating our opponents. If we are worsted, we have the conscious ness of knowing that we have done right. ; iNSTRUCTED.--The Benton county DemoOTiey have instructed their dele gates Ithe State Convention to sup port J.J. Avery for the nomination of Governor. We suppose that Lane county wilj Instruct for Wniteaer, Marion for 0roverjLd Multnomah for Chapman perhaps Polk won't instruct because Nesmith and Hayden are both candidates. 3ome of these men will bp defeated, and, of course, some of them will feel bad, even very bad. j , j It is said that a little cake dipped in sherry will restore the lost voice of a canary bin. The Fifteenth Amendmeut. Whatever may have been our views of the Fifteenth Amendment a month since, matters not now, for the measure has constitutionally become a part of tho great charter of our liberties. Our duties, as law abiding citizens, will be to support it until such time as it shall be repealed, which is not likely to be the case soon. We are satisfied that such will bo the action of every mem ber of the Republican party, and even a large part of the Democrats will unite with us in the obeyance of th law. A few ill-conditioned fellows, however, will be loud with their usual denunciatory bombast, and perhaps may be so unpolitio as to declare their intention to commit acts of violence, as always has been the case with this mi nority when their party was out of power; yet they will finally be com pelled to eat their own words. Wo have long perceived that the ' a AmcadmcDt would tinally become a law, and now we are glad the thing has come to pass, thus removing another el ement of discord from the sky of poli tics, and allowing our common coun try to quiet down and rest in a more secure peace than has been tho case since the first slavery agitation. L....1 .. . r.i Political Notes. It looks as though the California De mocrats, notwithstanding their preten sions and protestations, ratho like cheap labor. Ac amendment offered to the Marin Railroad bill, to the effect that the employment"; of Chinamen on the job should work a forfeiture of the charter, has been voted down by the Assembly by a vote of forty-two to twenty-four. How is this? The De mocrats could have carried tho amend ment, but they didn't. Is that sort of voting consistent with Democratic pro fessions and pledges to support "white labor?" The Oregop City Enterprise holds with the Albany Democrat that the national debt is not in process of tc duction. The Oregoniaii criticises their position after this style : Well, what is there, then, that is certain? Who knows for certain that mere is any national debt? ,There is the same authority for the statement that the debt is decreasing that there is for the statement that we have any debt at all. U. S. Senator arncr, of Alabama, writes this encouraging letter to the N. Y. Tribune, which speaks well for the Congressional policy of reconstruction : Sir: You are sadly mistaken when you include Alabama among the States which are losing population by reason of the current which is running toward the South-West, and most notably from the States of Virginia and Georgia. Alabama is gaining largely by this ex odus, and there is also a large and steady influx of Northern men and cap ital. The agents of our railroads have been in Virginia for months pastoffer ing SI 50 per day for laborers. : It is safe to assume that Alabama bargained 5,000 in population by eniigratiou dur ing the past year, and her people are now prosperous and generally better contented than at any former period of her history. Much of tins prosperity is due to her prompt admission to her old status in the Union, and to the wise and liberal course of the Republican party in our state. let Congress now act thus i wisely, liberally and generously towards Virginia, and similar results will follow, both materially and politic- The Oregonian supposes that the Democratic State Convention,! soon to assemble at Albany, will pronounce ei ther for payment of the national debt in greenbacks or downright repudiation. Greenbacks, however, nave advanced so nearly to the value of specie that there is no longer anything to be made by paying in greenbacks. Repudiation would seem therefore to be thV last re source of the Democracy. 1 The Statesman of tho 8th speaking of importation says : To-day closes the highly Democratic game of colonization, and the counties of Folk, Renton and lamhill can count up at their leisure the floating debris of Dpmocracy which has lodged along the banks of their creeks and on the breadth of their prairies. If Democracy is al lowed to have sway in Oregon, we may look for corruption ; the ballot will be dishonored; the voice of the people will not be heard. It will be the re peater; the imported voter: the false swearer who will pronounjee the "popu lar verdict," and the rule of the Demo cracy will be synonymous with corrup tion and demoralization. We can think of no more horrible fate for America than to be governed by the miserable advocates of repudiation, hose motto is success however won. , The Sacramento Union of a late date says that' there are four parties in New Hampshire, each having a candidate in the field, the Republican, Democratic, Temperance and Labor, and predicts thai the election of Governor will .be thrown into the Legislature when the Labor party will unite with the Demo crats and defeat the Republicans. - La ter telegraphic reports state that there is no such probability,; that the Demo crats are grertly demoralized, and that Gov. Stearns, Republican, will be elect ed by tho people. In that State to carry an election by the people, the successful candidate must receive a ma bority of all the votes cast. , The elec tion was held in that State on Tuesday las the 8th. Important to Rcsiness Men. The following is the text of a circular issued by the Revenue Commissioner, Feb. 10th. prescribing the manner of cancelling stamps used upon instru ments of writing, aud furnished for publication here, by the Assessor of the District of Oregon : Section 157, of the act of June 80, is as follows : "And be it further en acted; that the Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue be, andhe is hereby, au thorized to prescribe' such method for the cancellation of stamps, as a substit ute for or in addition to the-method now prescribed by law, as he may deem expedient and effectual. And he is further authorized, in his discretion, to make the application of sudi methods imperative upon the manufacturers of proprietary articles, or articles included in fcehedule Crand upoti stamps of a nominal value exceeding twenty five cents. Owing to the extensive frauds com mitted upon the reveduea by the wash ing, restoration and re-use of such in terna'tgrevenue adhesive stamps as have been used and cancelled by the machine known as the ribbon stump, it is here by ordered and prescribed, that, on and after .May 1st, 1870, all adhesive stamps used upon the instruments, documents, writings and papers, mentioned and described in schedule R, Of the Intern al Revenue Law, shall be cincellcusly the person affixing the same, either writing upon each and every staidp, in ink, the initials of his name, and the date (year, mouth and day), upon which the same is attached or ulscd, or by cutting and cancelling the same with, the machine called 'Wheeler's Patent Cancellor or such other ma chine or instrument an may hereafter be designated and prescribed by said Com missions; and that no other method of cancelling such stamps, employed on or after that date, shall, be recognized as legal or sufficient, until otherwise prescribed and ordered."
