Since the Republican party came into power generally throughout the Uuited States, a eontinuaNmuxmur of discontent has been heard from Demo eratjc lips about the extravagant ex penditures of the Republican party, jand where the Democrats have met .with any success 'whatever, except through prejudice towards tho negro, it has been on the assurance of an eco nomical atlministratson of affairs. jrera ember how the membcrsVf thc last Oregon Legislature went up v fthe Capital, with protestations of econ omy yet warm on their Hps, and enter te injto schemes for enriching their party friends, and how they frittered .away the time given them by the peo ple for party legislation to the neglect of public business of a necessary na ture, I Over the whole land is thjs econom ical cry raised'et how different the . practice. Inew York the people are 'mt .mm 1 oaumg jinaer me ouruensome laxcsn rapose by a Democratic Legislature. .Nearer home the evil of JDcmocratic y' extravagance is even more astonishing. Jn California everything is governed y Democrats, anthe legislative appro priations from the State Treasury has become so lavish that the people are .greatly alarmed at the prospect, and are sending petitions, signed by thou ai(jls, demanding the; legislative body Jo desist from their work of appropiU aiing nioney. A general feeling of in security in that State prevails, and measures for; massing the citizens for self-protection are being seriously con ideref . It is well for the voters to consider he acta of the Democratic leaders 'rather than their words, before they give them their suffrages. The Re publican party not only makes pledges gf an honest and economical appropri ation of public money, but makes good ' ts obligations. I pEMCRATic County Convention. Tho Democrats have held their Con : yention and honored a company of men jrith nominations. We have nothing at present to say of the candidates per sonally, save that their political graves are now dug and the funeral appointed for the Gth of June. The Convention passed a set of res olutions, but we have been wholly un able to obtain a copy of thera, although diligent inquiries have been instituted, Whence we conclude the Convention , is jsither ashamed of what it did, or Is afraid to have their doings published. We have heard, however, that one jesoluiion opposed tho enforcement of "the Fifteenth Amendment, and pledged jthe members of the Convention to im pede the execution of that law by all honorable and peaceable means, or at tho point of the bayonet, if necessary, by which we take it that the Peace Democracy of the North are not yet patisfied. jlut we always consider such resolutions are passed more for the ef fect than as words of meaning. Camp Lyon has been delivered by the military into , tho hands of the pur chasers, W est & Westgate. The pres tnt owner intend to oarry on farming ann rearing 01 sock. Murder Will Out. The Oregon City Enterprise and the Portland Herald are in a crave diffii- culty. The Herald recommends the forming of one great Vigilance Com mittee to prevent Republican imported votejs from exercising their suffrage rights on election day; but, unfortu nately .for this scheme, no Republican importations can be found, and the En terprise man is in trouble because his nice littlescheme of importation hasbeeu discovered. McKinney, as agent, took twenty five men into Clackamas coun ty, and was playing the thing low down until two of the members, more honest thanjjthe leaders, by their sworn affi davit, divulged the whole thing. BIc- Kinney, smarting under the lashes of J this exposure, now assails thfi railroad contractors because they employ white labor instead of Chinamen. The Democrat importers in Yamhill county are brave about their business, and make no effort to conceal the fact that they are corruptly bringing meft into that county for the sake of voting them. They even gobble up steamer passengers; who are direct from Cali fornia. How long will the honest portion of the Democratic party submit to bj led by such corrupt men ? Democratic Stale Ticket. The Democratic State Convention, at Albany, nomrf ated L. F.. G rover, of Salem, for Governor, S. F. Chadwick, of Douglas county, for Secretary of State, L. Flieschner, of Portland, for Stato Treasurer, T. J. Patterson, of Portland, for State Printer, J. II. Slater, of Union county, for Congress, 1$. H. Bonham, of Marion county, for udc of the Third Judicial District, and N.-L. Butler for District Attorney for the Third Judicial District. Bv this ticket it will be seen that a the people on the West Side may just as well give up all hope for Govern ment aid to a railroad, unless they unanimously support the Republican nominees whoever they may be. The Democrats may consider that they have a strong ticket, yet he who heads it belongs to a manufacturing corporation that won't employ Chinese before election, but will cut the pay of white laborers down to China wages; but then the platform may heal all the defects in men. Of course, G rover docs not want Republican votes, for he it was that, in a Senatorial contest not many years since, said that if he could be elected to the Senate only by Republican votes he did want to go. The ticket is one that we think we can easily defeat- at the June election. Since writing the above we received both the State and county platforms, and, although we have no time to give them this week, we can assure our readers that they are characteristic of the Democratic party, and can be made to mean anything. j County Convention. To-day the Republican County Con vention will meet to send delegates to the Republican State nominating Con vention, to be held in the city of Port land, beginning on Thursday the 7th of April. It should be the business of the Convention to select such men as will reflect the will of the people, and will be certain to attend the State Con vention in person. Again every dele gate to this County Convention should return home considering himself oommitteejof one in his precinct, for the purpose of bringing out every Re publican voter to the next primary, and see that none but jgood men, and true, be sent to the County nominating Con vention. We want that convention to be made up of good men, who wil- scrutinize every man's fitness for office, and see that the will of tlie people is respected. We don't want any such farces in our nominating convention as was displayed here last Saturday by some of our political opponents. Kvcry man despises a packed convention, and we must steer clear of such corrupt things. And, besides, the individuals of a party are not bound by the doings of a body that procures the nomination of favorites through fraud. It is said tfrat the number of cattle in Texas has quadrupled within ten j years, or smco too war. W hy Is It f Some person, unknown to us, writ ing from Dallas to the Salem Press, last week, takes issue with us for what we said about the importation of vot- a. r : . "I; ers. iow, we nave nothing to sav further on that subject, save to reassert the position before taken, and if Dem ocrats do not desire to come in and help us put down this fraud upon the resi dents of this county, but still, as in times past, hold that it is right to im port for insuring success, wo will have to fight the wrong alone. We only further give space for the reply of the printers who "were person ally assaulted by the correspondent. Salem, March 21, 1870. Ed. Republican: In the last is sue of the Democratic Press appears a communication from Dallas, over the classic non de plume of "Junius."; The subject matter of tho communication in question; is principally devoted to a charge against the Republican party of Polk, importing voters. With this charge I have nothing to do, and would have paid no attention to the article did not Mr. Rogers' and my own name appear ?n connection with the charge. "Why," asks the enraged writer, 'is it that Mr. Rogers quit the Statesman office to come here, and Mr. Davis, a Democratic printer, put in his place V For the time I will lay aside my Cel tic personality and assume a Yankee "make-up," that I may4e able to an swer "Junius'" charge by propounding a few whys myself, and thus enlighten "Junius' " thick cranium on a subject he feigns to be so ignorant of. Why was it that "a Democratic printer" run the Polk CtAtnty Times three weeks after itsj proprietor had "vamoosed," on the fair promises of Democratic aspir ants for office, that the Democracy of Polk would sustain the paper, and that the "Democratic printer" would be retained that this was not done ? W hy was it that, at a secret meeting held in Mr. L ' a store by the leading De mocracy of Polk some tweuty in num ber on the night of Feb. 19th the "Democratic printer" was importuned to get out a few more issues of the Times on the same terms as th, three preceding ones -fair promises? And why was it he didn't do it? iWhy was it that an inducement of three month's work was offered the aforesaid "Democratic printer" if he would re main, whether the office was sold or not? Whv was ft tho "bemocratic printer" didn't accept so liberal an of for ? Why was it that when the "Dem cratic printer" mildly suggested to the the meeting that he would like to sec who was the responsible mac, no one said I ? Why was it that when the "Democratic printer" saw the patriotic ardor and enthusiasm of leading Dem ocrats, and he thought it a good time to strike for his lack pay, that not a jingle came from the hat that was pass ed round ? Why was it 1 Whyt I have a few other more pertinent whys left, andfif "Junius" again dares impugn my motives, or to insinuate that Mf. Rogers and myself are the tools of! any party, I will out-on-him, and give the citizens of Dallas the rarest bit of (true) gossip they have had for many a day. Be careful, "Ju nius," how you tread on the corns of A Democratic Printer. "Junius' wishes to know "why came here," which inquiry I answer as follows : capo here to take charge of the mcchauical department of Til E Oregon Republican. As to "why the 'Democratic printer' was put in my place," I answer : Mr. D having applied to me, as one of the "craft," for my situation, I used my influence to procure it for him. Politics are not recognized by the "craft" in such cases. I A Republican Printer. A certain boarding-house was very much infested by vermin. A gentle man who slept there one night, told the landlady so in the morning, when she said " La, sir, wo haven't a single bug in tne house." " SSo, ma'ifia," said ho, "they ro all married, and have large iarauies too.
