The Republican will continue to advocate the priuciples upon which the Union paTfy organized. No party, however pure when it springs into life, can long survive by pursuing a course which tends directly to sap the very foundation of the gevcrumeut under which it lives. Political parties, long in power, are v.eiy apt co become cor 'rapt. This seems to be but the natu ral tendency of man. ' Tho democratic party remained' in powr until its leaders became so cor xupt a3 to believe that no other party would be ableto grow up and super: sede them; and, most naturally, con cluded that, to that particular orgnniz i tion belonged this Union; and, operat ing upon that idea, they pursued, against the will of the people, a radi cal course, carrying everything to ex tremes; for instance, on the question of the status of the African, they un dertook to establish as a fact that the black man had : no rights which the white man wasbound to respect. Thi. was radicalism, which, io this age as in all others, has and ought to proven failure, for if successful it would result in the enslavement of that race through all time. The just and unalterable laws of God would never permit it. Again, upon the question of gov ernment, the leaders of that party be came corrupt and undertook for a sc ries of years to establish the very doc trine which the framcrs of the Consti tutiou labored so hard and long to over throw, viz : ''State Supremacy." Thi. also was radicalism ; extreme measures, going beyond right and reason. They also adopted other radical measures which wc might name, but deem it un- Tnr(siiirv hnrt TIort f ur tnfnenrra more than all others combined, , led brother, against brother to deadly com bat, brought on the great and bloody civil war io the United States, involved our country in an enormous debt, and has left, bleeching upon our own soil, the tbanea,:f two -million patriots, America's roud sons; and to-day, in consequence thereof, the cries of hun "dreds of thousands of widowed moth ers, and a million fatherless children are ascending up, and have reached the ears of the God of Sabaoth all this and more is the legitimate result of radcalism. But the time came and is past; brother has imbued his hands in brother's blood, our country thrown al most into a state of bankruptcy, the sturdy yeomanry of the country the back-bone of society law and order ore' groaning under heavy burdens of taxation, and all in consequence of the radicalism of the leaders of the old t of the people were all the time disposed to do and act righ. And now, in 1870. and in view of all the circumstances the political world, and especially the "minds of the American people. And why? Simply because sensible men and women think they can too plainly read; the future by the past, and sec the end. from the beginning. The great Union party came to the rescue when - tho .iron ; hand of treason : was stretched , forth had already grasped and was about to tear unceremoniously from their places theTeryhearf strings struction. And to-day her proud flag waves in glonous triumph over every hill top in the land, and traitors wince before its stirs and stripes; but, with all this, it is'true, as we have said, the great body of the people, who alone are sovereign here, are depressed in spirit, and for the very same reason (hat has caused all of our trouble, the radicalism' of the party in power, t But the objector .may ask, how is it if the people alone are sovereign, "as you say, they srjler "or permit these, great wrongs f Wo answer, it is for the rea son that the present generation have not performed , their whole duty oncf do ie those things which the progress pf eyeiiti have demanded, iu order to transmit to our posterity untarnished the f rue and pure principles of this, the best form of uovcrnmeot. as intended by the Constitution, under which man e er l.ved; and our sin ol omission con sists iu this, we have permitted our servants, the representatives of the people, to spend their time, sinco the termination of the war, and ;even be fore, legislating concerning matters of minor importance, and leaving untouch ed the more-weightier matters of the law. It became, long since, apparent to the Amcvicau people, citizens of the United States, that there lingered about our institutions, many relics of that monarchial government from which we came, gome of which we shall name, fully aware that by giving our views we shall stir the souls of men against us who are now holding position, .by virtue of the very principle wc shall have occasion to deuounce; we hold it to be the duty of every sovereign of this country to do and say thitt which, in his honest judgment, will be pro ductive of. the greatest amount of good to society and will tend to the perpetu ity of tho Government in its best form; and we shall say what we think best, irrespective of love of friends or fear of enemies, and leave the great body of the people to judge of the correct ness and soundness of our course. The greatest pride we have is, in feeling that wc have credit by honest men and women of being sincere in whatever we attempt to promulgate or soy upon po litical subjects. We hold first, then, that it is but a relic of monarchy, that by virtue of a provision in the great charter of our liberties, the sovereigns of this country are deprived the privi lege of going to the polls and voting directly for or against any amendment to the Constitution of "the United States, and that, too, uutrammelled whenever or however proposed. There is no valid rcasou why a pro vision of this character, or a principle like thii, should longer remain with us; and if wc, as a -people, have come to that point, when the groat majority, not the minority, agree that the princi ple is absolutely wrong, why not, like men and sovereigns, rise up and com mand it (."one. Y ho is tlu're but will acknowledge, in hi3 heart,, that from this principle springs no good to the. great mass of the people, and results in nofjing but evil continually, bene ficial only to political demagogues, who wish to take advantage of the system to carry their own measures, for their own aggrandizement, to thwart the will of the people and perpetuate factions, and minorities in power? ' All this is dangerous and rerugnant to republican institutions. And what argument enn be made in its favor? Let those who are wedded to it and oppose our posi tion, answer. Here, then, is the prop er place to insert the first plank in our political creed, and the step which we think ought to be taken, by our party, and leave it to the consideration of a refieciing people : Resolved, That the Constitution of tho United States ought to bo to re vised that no amendment to that sacred charter of the liberties of the Ameri can people, shall ever be made or af fected without a direct reference to those who, at the time, shall have a legal right to the elective franchise. We will give what wc think ought to be the second reform next week. We see by Eastern exchanges that Ilolladay & Co., have been sued for twelve million dollars, and the Court is asked to appoint a receiver for their in terusts in the Oregon and California Railroad. This is just what we ex pected. , . w . :'s H If Ben Ilolladay should go into bankruptcy, what would become of James O'Meara? and what would, the people do for a constant adv scr on tl e question of truth ? The Bulletin of tho lGth inst., came back with its reply to our answer on the - railroad question, and its only ar gument is couched in the heading of the article, "An Unworthy Assailant." All rifjht, Mr. Bulletin ; this has been the jplea of every subjugated pretender since the world began. The most brilliant. 'performance of the ; seaon---James O'Meara charging cotemporaries of throwing (rt. The Eugene Journal remarks that the farmer arc now in the midst of their harvesting. The wheat crop is good, and the yield will be greater than it has been for years, Outs will not be so good in this vicinity, : We undcrsand that a few thousand bushels of wheat has been ; contracted for in this county at 75 cents per ' bushel, M -I ? ' : "'- The 'thing is Almost Accomplished I Iu the local column of the Herald of the 4th inst. wo find tho following : "Pursuant to a call of tho President there was a meeting of tho stockhold ers of the Oregon Central Railroad (West Side), held in this city yester day, at 1 o'clock p. m., when "a new I oard of Directors was elected, con sisting of II. II. Towler, S. M. Smith, J. M. Gillmnn; Levi Kates and C. S. Silver. We understand that a protest wns filed by W. T. Newby against the election of this new Hoard, on the ground that the by-laws of the Com pany provided for tho election of Di rectors annually on tho 25th day of May, and that there was a Hoard elect ed conformatory therewith on the 25th of May last." This new "Hoard "will, of course, cor firm the sale1 made by Gaston to Hen Ilolladay of the West Side Kailroad. Hefore the old Hoard went out of of fice, the following resolution was pre sented and acted upon : "Resolved, That for the purpose of paying tho present indebtedness of this company, and carrying on the work of constructing the road, and particularly to place tho first twenty miles of the road in a condition to lay the track as speedily as possible, an aestsment of ten per cent, upon all unpaid subscrib ed capital stock be leviud, pajable at the office of the company in Portland, forthwith." The vote on this resolution stood, nyes J. C. Ainsworth, W. T. Newby; nays J. Gaston nnd J. H. Underwood. Not voting, T. It. Curuelius; so the resolution was lost. Now, wc call attention to the fact, that Gaston, having possession of a targe majority of the stock, could elect whoever ho pleased as Directors; and so the public will be enabled to sec how, by the operations" of one man, their best interests may be trifled with. Now, there pectus to be no dispute but that if the Company would be at the expense of finishing the road-bed,- wc shtTuld have a road immediately. Does any sensible man boltevc, for a moment, that the petty sum of fifty thousand dollars could not be raised for that purpose? We think not. This last transaction looks very eu.'piciou. Where was Mr. Cornelius? Why did ha not put himself upon the record, so thut the people could know where he stood? Let the people of tho West Side remember that the Philadelphia Company stand ready to build our rail road, nnd that somebody is trying to retard its progress. Let us be prepar ed for any emergency. If tlu-re is to be a ct ml ination against the Wist Side on the question of railroads, irrcspect ivc of party, then we say to our mem bers, send a West Side man or let Mr. Corbctt, who is an honest servant of the people and faithful, represent us alone for the next two years in the Senate We have plenty of good and able men on the West Side, and wc have a right, in view of all the facts, to demand that the next Senator shall be from that locality. If the Republi cans can, by any honest-means, succeed in electing a man, then wc have what is known to be among the best materi al, the Hon. It. P. Hoise; and if the Democracy are to send a man from their ranks, still we have the most able and compctcut in the State, and a man of no mean reputation, but that of a national character, and a man who can to-day wield an influence in the Senate unequalcd by none; that man is ex Senator Nesmith. Send him. We desire to call attention to anoth er idea. Ilolladay pretends (or his or gans for him), that he must know the best route on which to locate his West Side road, and consequently he has em ployed Mr. Helden to make surveys and report. Now, Mr. Helden is the very man, as wc understand the matter, who made the survey for the West Side Company, and located tho, route on which all, the grading has been done, and all the money, so wrongfully taken from the people, expended. Will" he report a different route for Mr Ilolladay as the best on which to build a road ? Nonsense I Ilolladay knew just as much about the best route before he sent Helden out as he will ever know; but jie is determined, by the use of his organ, tho Bulletin, in its appeals to the people of Southern Oregon, to go in for men, not measures, (meaning Williams), and by his hum bugs on the West Side to carry the Legislature for any measure he desires. This is our candid opinion. Let the people of the West Side look well to tkctf interests while they can, C;i " " I' it. sack's Cataiuui llKMliDY ' no Patent Medicine humbug gotten up to dupe the ignor ant and credulous, nor is it represented a being brougbt from tho four corners of the corth, carneu tieren tunes acroas tue ureal wescTt or Sabarab, on the backs of fourteen camel, find brought across the Atlantic Ocean on two ships."
