"For years anil even decades it ha ;been the usual custom at every recur ring election ibr Democrats to claim and .demand the nomination of farmers and laboring men for office, and that such candidates were mote worthy of suj port from that one circumstance. Re. publicans have disregarded this favor ite hobby of Democrats, but have rath er chosen to select Jmen for office who gre the roost suitable for the places by reason of Abilities, honesty, &c., re gardless of any particular trade, occu Ration or calling; and because Repub licans had a desire to nominate men because of their fitness for the place. Democratic ward politicuffis have never failed to make an attempt to create a feeling of caste -and prejudice' among the laboring classes. Following the old and well defined policy the Republican party fyavc, this year, nominated a farmer and a work ingman for Governor. His opponent, on the other hand, is one of the bloat id monopolists and aristocrats, who, all his life, has been supported in ease and Juxury by the hard earnings of the poor laboring man. Not men alone have supported him, but the poor, poverty-pinched factory girl basjeen com - pel led to contribute her mite to keep Jiis hands soft and white. : -These two men are presented for the suffrages of the people; now let these men who .so often have clamored for laboring men for j office, come forward and support, honest Jo. Palmer, the farmer, or forever hold their peace Now is the timoj to make good their icanhingg, for the issue between labor and bloated manufactures was never : more direct or stronger drawn. We will see this time whe'ther the cry for laboring men for office is real or only fk sham to patch votes, w ; .fhe remarks wc made about six jreeks ago concerning the importation of voters into this county, hy some ol the leading Democrats in Salerri,is causiag that clique to writhe in pain to this day. The "association of gentle men so-called," who - conduct the Qrover organ at Salem, devote a whole polurnn-to one of the persons engaged jn the publication of thi paper, which is more advertising than wo over had jor the same money invested. Kggs in Boston sell for 29 and SO cents per dozen, and butter from 30 to v pt cents pound, The Dally Ma i. Under date of March 12th, Senator Williams writes from; Washington City to the Oreyomdn, as follows : t i ; ."I write this to avoid misconception as to the mails on the west side of the river. Contracts to carry the mail from Portland to Corvallis have been let aa heretofore, becaus under the publish ed advertisements ;the law required the lettings to be in that form. I have just hud an interview, how ever, vith the ;Postmastcr GeneVal upon the subject and ho has "now agreed to add to; the service so as to provide a daily mail from Portland via llillsboro, Forest! Grove, , Lafayette, Amity, and Dallas to Coivallis to commence on the lt of July, when, the. present lettings take e0ect. Arrangements to that end will be made without delay, and all concerned may regard that as a settled matter." This is the information for which we of the west side of the river have. long wtfited, and we can be only better satis fied when- we? hear. the rumbling of car wheels, j There is nothing except a railroad tbat can can bring out the good points cf a country better than a $aily stage line. ; KlCven years ago before the Oregon and California daily lino of stages was put on, the west side ot the river was the chief part of Oregon and the couu ties east of the river were scarce ly heard of, but; the daily mail line opened up the vast resources of that couutry to the outside world till it Jj-js become a thriving section, having a railroad, while this sido of the river, with natural advantages in every way equal, his lain dormant. Wo bave just as much farming laud, and in some particulars, better than the counties J east of the river, and our water powers re superior. - V o have been dead on our feet while our! neighbors have pros pered simply because they have better facilities ! for communication. With this daily line thcicountry iu the inte rior will be open for the easy inspec tion of strangers, j and our opportuni ties for improvement will be eorrcs- pondingly enlarged. FitroiiTENED Again. The .Cana dian government .has again been in a great flutter of Excitement, and the lispatches have been burdened with the details of another Fenian raid; It now turds' out that nothing of the kind was ''contemplated,! but. that 'a' few hun dred Fenians left New York last week and went to Chicago to attend a Con gress of the brotherhood. Now, while we would like'to see the British Gov ernment punished for the many sins committed - against our Government, we do not want to see any warlike ex peditions go from jthc United States un less the whole Government iscngngrd. Wc are one of thoso who think that when an Irishman comes to this coun try and takes the oath of naturalizition ho is not an Irishman any longer, but is. one of us an American citizen and has nothing to do with the rebell ions and wars of foreign, countries, c.x cept as our Government is engaged. These Fenian rajds from the United States into Canada are wrong, and cal culated to involvej our Government. Equitable Adjustment. We havG heard many Democrats hereabouts denying, within jthe past week, that "equitable adjustment," as recited in the 8th rcsolutionj of the Albany plat form, means repudiation ; but when such men as Beriuh Brown regard it as such, Jas. O'Mera declares open war fare against it, Hon, Jas. D. Fay says it means repudiation and supports the measure for that reason, and Ainsworth, and Ladd, the banker, gives "equitable adjustment" the cold shoulder, wo conclude that there is something radi cally wrong. Talk as you please, gen tlemen, there is no bargain and sale with these men, and wc can arrive at no other conclusion than that repudia tion is what is meant by "equitable ad justment." I . A variety of events conspiro to rufilo the feelings of the Salem importers. Hcsidcs the castigation that wo gave them a few weeks ago, the high water of last week washed off the wood cut i in the Willamette river bottom, by their imported wood choppers. They lost heavily. - j ." "The best laid schemes o mice and men, Uani; alt actoii.' Three million ushels of wheat is in store in Milwaukee, Wis, - Interpretations. r The -Democratic prcsa of this State h is as many difiercnt interpretations of the meaning of ''equitable adjustment" as thero are papers. As political curl- ositicsu we make a few quotations : ', : This 'equitable adjustment! means just this : It means to investigate and ascertain just how much is due the bondholder for his principal and inter- t, and then pay that amount aud no n ore. "But if, for instance, bond h lder has p'id four hundred dollors in coin lor one thousand dollars in grocn- iekp, and with these greenbacks' -he' purchased ia"-thousand. dollar bond, and iw claiuiii under the sanction ot the iJepublicah party, that the thousand dollars and t lie interest thereon should hi paid in' coin,, pay him back ; his fuur hundred dollars irr coin, together with hjwful interest thereon, but no more, Cf. C. hiiterprisc. The Albany Democrat answers this itiou by taying: " 1 Why not iav him back with interest ie greenbacks with which -ho bought lie puna ( v nac uusine nave we to iuq'uire when and' how. ho bceamo pos si.ised ofi the bond .? Sunposo an indi vidual purchased 8-,000 in greenbacks 40 cents, find with fcl.(KM) bought a bund, retaining the remainder of the fllrst transaction iu his keeping, would tiere not be just as much rather, just a little r fail iic.ss in compelling him to s irrender, his rcmuming $1,000" in greenbacks upon the payment of $100 m.coin as lhtie would be in 'compelling si; surtfiider of .the bund upon the pa yment of the s.tme sum " May you no: with tqual propriety' compel him to viinqui.-h-hU ij'-l.WO ih lfgul tenders ly p'.-iyii'ig hita the 8100 that he gave them "i We hold that "equitable adjustn.crtt" iaus and cmt nieafi nothing l(Ut'v--rnt of the tcht !ionat!, f iifb, cjtial ', according to ,ur State and National Platform of two 'years go. Whatso ever h more or less than this, is more ojr less th;in Orthodox' Democracy.- yjteu Pxss. . The platform of two years ago ?ince aloptodtho Pendleton scheme, which i:. to pay in greenbacks. The Ilerall supposes that a thou s md dollar bond has been bought for four 'hundred dollars, and thus pro ceeds with the arumcut ; In order to arrive at rsn tfjuifabl ad j istuient of this ease, if will be n ces s iry to confess the four hundred dol lars, and th,n luro whjt interest, at eisutract r;itts, due at date of settle ment. , When this is done, it i known how much the Government wy meet oa that bond. Then find out how much lias been paid, j In doing this wo esti mate the tutcrcftt paid on the six hun dred dollars, ichich wtu never received ly the Government, and deduct that from the amount due' on "tie four hun dred dollars actually received. If, by t ids calculation," a ha'anee is shown iu tivor of the bondholder, lt him re ceive it in good, hard, Democratic gold coin. On the otlttr hand, however, if i be found that the bond has been t.wre than intifjhd by the interest paid on the hix liundred which was never ceived by the Government, then' the bondholder should pay the amount I aek to the Government, together with interest on the 'surplus from, date of payment of the bond in act. This is equitable adjustment.' The Jacksonville yew it thus endors es the above from the lloaht :) We! ape also glad to know that Hon. . ". II. Slater, our candidate for Con t ress, with an honesty and frankness which will commend , him to the warm est support .of., his party, has placed himself squarely upon the is?:u3 pre tinted In the Sth resolution, as under tood and explained in the letter of Mr. 'ay, Col. Kelly also, and most of the leading Democrats of the State, have 5pumed the false .subterfuges usually observed in politics and have followed l he lead of is Herald in this regard. And now comes the Salem Press, iJrover's organ, with the balm that is to heal all differences : We know that there are individual )emocrats in Oregon who havo differ ent plans from that tnentiouee for the ! cttlement or "adjustment" of the flcbt. Wc have no quarrel to make tvith those Democrats who believe in j'shaving" the debt to a gold standard, tnd in "forcible disgorgftnent, though vo by no mean endorse such doctrines: We merely wish it to bo .understood hat tor such notions the responsibility rests upon the individuals who utter hem and not upon the Jcmocranc arty. If' a Democrat honestly be icves in any of these novel schemes et him avuw his belief as often:' and as brcibly as he plf;a?es,and let him, if e can, get his brethren to adopt his kiews, but until they do let him not brim that his creed is the creed of the Democracy. All that wc osk is that heso men shall, .os good partutans, go kvith their brethren as far ns they go, md trust to time to lead them "further. We honestly believe, too, that they bill do to; and that every "repudia- ionist, and every advocate of "tor biblo disgorgcracntj'V&c., iu tho Dcm" ocratic ranks will"keep step" with the national party along the. line marked out by Pendleton. Political Notes. The Salem Press thinks that the 4 equitable adjustment clause in the 8th resolution in the Albany platform is "vague, equivocal and indefinite, and we arc coufident that it could have been much improved if the Conven tion had considered it with somewhat less haste and better temper." That paper wants to throw the wholo resolu tion aside, and take in its stead the platform of two years ago. The Commercial asks why, if the Convention meant what is claimed by the Press, they did not adopt that plat form ? Tho Albany Democrat is also kick ing over tho platform adopted by its pirty. Here is what it says of repudi ation and its effects: Is it not the business of the Govern ment of the United States to inquire who. bought greenbacks, or at what fig ure, or for what purpose? If an indi vidual was fot lunate enough to buy lor $100 a quantity of legal tenders, which, subsequently invented in bonds, became worth $1,UU0, government has no. more rigat to deprive him of the benefits of his transaction than if that transaction had been in dry goods or real estate. The transaction .between the Government aud the purchaser of bonds was a perfectly fair one upon both sides, and there is no law a!id no equity that will at tins late day attempt to violate or evade the terms of the contract. We insist that if the illog ical and unreasoning rule laid down iu the paragraph quoted is to be adopted, that it bo eaaried to its fullest length. We shall then not only ask where the bondholder got the greenbacks with which he bought the bond, but when and how be got the gold with which he bought the greenbacks. A government that would thm fpec ulae in the depreciation of its own currency is not likely to inspire the world with much confidence. A gov ernment that would thus defraud its creditor! and dishonor itself would in evitably survive the respect of honor ble intn and yet not survive above a few generations. Going farther than the above quo ted authority, we fay there never shall be any law or equity to violate the terms of the contract. That paper had better strike out the word "Democrat" from its title at once, and inset t one that more correctly reflects the scnti merits of its editor. Hhc'Orepoiilan thus digs the Herald .upon its financial policy : The Herald complains because the Republican party did not borrow mon y for the war on better terms. Let tho Democratic party get control cf the Government and earry out the proposi tion of the Albany platform, . and it could never obtaina loan on any terms whatever. Tho credit of the Govern ment would be utterly ruined; and. deprived of tho mean of rai-mg mon ey for the emergencies of war, the country would be comph tely disarmed and at the mercy both of internal and foreign foes. ! The same paper says : We have paid during the past year about ninety million dollars of our na tional debt. Bonds amounting to this sum have been purchased by -the Gov ernment and placed in the staking fund, where the interest is paid regu larly upon them, which interest is in turn used for the purchase of more bonds. If wc continue this operation at the same rate as now we shall whol ly extinguish the debt in ten and a half years: But no doubt it will be thought advisable to reduce tho taxes., still fur ther and not pay the debt so rapidly'. In this case we shall be a few more years about it; but tho child is now born who will see the whole debt paid off before he attaius his majority. Tho Oreyonian, speaking of Demo cratic repudiation, says : ' I matters not that Oregon, when compared with the great States, con tains but a small population; if Ore gon .approves this .doctrine it .goes abroad that one of tho States ok the American Union has voted to rcpudi ate tho national debt. Whether this tact would disturb tho national credit or not, it would at least give our State a disgraceful notoriety every where, and this is something wo cannot afford. Democrats recognize this when they protest that they are not rcpuJiators ; and they who "a short time ago led off in. praise of the repudiation resojution now contess that it is odious, by "everv effort they make to belittlo or deuy the doctrine. The Boston' Commercial Bulletin of "April 2d says that tho wool market is very dull this spring, vprices ranging from 40 to 54 cents from the Middle and Western States, and 20 cents tor California clip.
