Tho fourth plunk in ur series of re forms will not appear until the 24th of this jNntHy for reasons satisfactory to ourselves. The Coming legislature and What They Ought to Io. The Legislature of Oregon is about; to convene and more important duties never devolved upon a Legislature ince the ornnizition bf the State. In the first place, their attention should be culled to the importance of the speedy' passage of a general appro priation bill, which was omitted by the LeuisTature of two years a;o, m cm.se q'ience of. which sin of omission the State has suffered heavily. We do not propose to discuss the point here ns to what man or party was most at fault, bat this we do know, there was laches eomewherc ; the bill ought to have passed before the expiration of the forty days. Ye arc aware that some people con strue the Constitution so as to nr.tke it .say, that our Legislature can remain in session, compel the attendance of its members and legislate for the whole term of two years, or for any length of time they choose beyond the forty days mentioned iin that instrument, : lJut this, in our opinion, is a great mistake ; as fwe jead the Coast i tutfoo . o Oregon you can only compel the attendance of of members for the term of forty day and if they remain together longer, it must be by common consent. N jw, we adoiitby a strained construction of the j Constitution, the Legislature may re main together after the expiration of the forty . days, pass Jaws, and if tho-e laws should be properly signed by the Executive, they would bo valid; hut the idea that ths Legislature can sit for the term of forty days, then each mem ber draw his -one hundred aud 'twenty dollars frnui the Treasury, and then a portion of the members - compel others 't- remain nninst their will fur the bal ance of 'the term of two years, without vf, is simply Ridiculous. The ; mo ment the frty days expires and you pay a member his three dollars per day, that moment he U at liberty to go home and there is no power to retain him. , , The next business of importance is the election of a man to represent the people of Oregon for six years in the Senate of the United States -next to the highest position on1 earth. This great and important work, wo hold, should be performed by the legal voters at the ballot box, but, under our pres ent system, it devolves upon the Legis lature. Now, we are not of those who biok: the people oughiMo ehct a man to represent their interests in a legisla tive tody, and constantly require of him acts inconsistent wjth his feelings, but wc hold the people have a right to demand of their Representatives that they shall act fairly and honestly, and in such a manner as, in their honest judgment, will most beneSt their con Btitucnts. They have a right to' dc J mand that their servants shall not ro beyond the power delegated ; that they shall not act contrary fo special instruc tions, given at the election ; that thoy fehdll not ' act from any consideration moving to themselves alone, and which shall be detrimental to the interests of their constituency; that they shall not be influenced by a direct money cousid oration, or promises of luerative.ofDces. They have a right to demand, when they have delegated the power to one of their, servants to support a certain class of men and measures, that they ! shall not support another and different class. What we desire is that the will of the people shall not be thwarted by the wicked acts of unscrupulous dema gogues, but that their expressed will, at tin I allot box, shall be carried out, un less they shall otherwise indicate by petitii o directed to their servaute. Let each member, in voting for a man to rapreseot us in the Senate, act from principle, not feeling, and in accordance with the dictates of a good conscience, and then wc shall have no fears of the llectiou of a man who favors universal : v suffrage t or.univemil jiegro suffiage. v There at6 other very important mat -tew, prominent among which is the re vbloQt in many particulars; of our codd of 'laws, both civil aud criminal, or the j total abolition of tho whole code and j tho substitution of a better one in fits pJaco ; and then our general laws need Attention, oiir common school flaw, road Jaw, and the law permitting: the sale of spirituous liquors should bo revised, amended and so construed tjiat all per sws of ordinary mind can junderstand what is meant aud intended by the law maker. - Another important question is, shall any move bo tnado looking to an appro priation for the purpose of erecting a Capitol for, the State.' We think it high time ' this important tuovo was made; the htate is much in need of a Capitid building. Large rents are pjaid at every session of our -Legislature, sitting of our Supreme Court, aud for Library room3, and thus it will go on year after year, until we have paid put money enough to satisfy one-half the expense of building a Capitol, and yet it will take none the less to erect the buildiug. All the money paid for rents is lost. ; Another great inducement for mak ing the move immediately is, it would be a jrrcat ornament to tho State, and would contribute much toward influ encing men of enterprise to come here, invest money, and assist us in building up the State, and developing its great resources. We hope the coming Leg isVurc will not hesitate on this ques tion, but move forward at. once and in- augurate the initiatory P- ltathcr Cheeky. James O'Meara, after advocating for inontbs and during tho last political campaign in Oregon all the radical mt asurcs of the Republican party, now comes out and claims to bo a better Democrat than anybody ;! at the same time, whining like a whipped spaniel, says : The class of Democrats of whom we speak know that the effort of the Herald and the interior Democratic ress to class the I'uUetui with the Re publican press is futile,! because it is without foundation. Thfy know that this paper has given expression to no principle or policy which has not the authority or sanction of the foremost Democratic journals of the Hast such organs as the Ronton post, the New York- World, the" Washington Union, the Chicago Times, the Louisville Out' rier-Jourwit, tho Maysvillo (Ky.) Eagle, the Viekburg Times, the St. Louis Tones, the Cbattauooga Time, nnd others we miht name. Yet the BnVelin is not a Democratic orgMti ; neither is it a Republican organ. It is just what' we promised it should "be an independent paper, tievotcd to no particular pnrty." At theabove startling announcement, that the Democratic parly of the na tion arc pledged to the doctrine of uni versal npgro suffrage, end that the edi tor of the Bulletin is in perfect har mony therewith, the Democracy of Or egon will be taken by surprise, and the Oretonian will be satisfied that the Dallas Republican is not teuding to modern Democracy. We arc somewhat surprised oursolves and thiuk it lament able, if true, as proved by O'Meara, that there is no difference between Re publicans and Democrats on the ques tion of universal suffrage, that both parties advocate th.it principle in the Eastern and Southern States, and arc vying for, the negro vote, and that the Dallas Republican alone is opposing that, principle. So much the more glory for us, knowing that we are right, and that we 'are advocating the sentiments of three fourths of the people of. Oregon.' The Corvallis, Gazette attempts to an swer, our article, opposing that most patent relic of monarchy, life offices. We deem it unnecessary to reply to &s answer, moro than to give his own ar gument in a few words, which is, that while it is true that jthe principle of life offices in this Government have an appearance of a relic of monarchy, yet it is the bulwark if Republicanism. We submit tho case to the jury -the people. The Oregonian seems to think that a Democratic Legislature should return Mr. Williams to the J?enate. Query Docs the' editor of that pa per iuteud to bring his "Mercenary Brigade' under Captain Bailey,' to bear? ' f An agency ibr Koopujuoscliap & Co., tho importer of (Jlunese, has been cstaUIshcd iu BoatonJ A C'ouiteoiu A11uIoil 1 Thero is a paper published in Polk, coituty which is continually assailing Senator f WilliaWs because ho is com mitted to the doctrine. of. suffrage with-) out distinction! of color, and which is declaring Jin every-issue that no man committed to fcuch doctrine can ever be elected to the Senate from - Oregon ' ennn nnnnr l n ovnrp ivctiA Aa. '. Yet- the same paper in every issue de votes a good deal of space to the advo cacy of Judgei. RoisoV claims and fit nes for the Senate. We fear the writ er has not read the feceut letters of Ju(1i;e Boise on negro suffrage. lie is as firmly committed to the doctrine as is Senator Williams, and, we aro glad to believe, is quite as good a "Radical. Oregoiuun. ' Wc remark :i Thero is a paper pub lished tu Multnomah county, edited by one Harvey Scott, which has been for the last' four years on all sides of the suffrage question, and which refuses to state whether or not it endorses the principle andpil:cy of the late natural ization bill, anj the present position of which is so niixed, on the question of universal tuffrage, tliat no man under stands what it is. It is continually harping concerning the great and ao kuowledged ability of Senator ? Will iams, and what he hss done for Oregon ; and labors hard to prove that Williams is in favor of suffrage without "distinc tion ff colorf and tint he is opposed to suffrage without "distinction of col- or. r.d the editor fear that wc have not read Judge Boise's letter on negro suffrage, and is glad to believe that Boi?e Is quite as radical on that ques tion as Willi jhh. Now, .as to the ability of Senator Williams, we have nothing disparaging to say. Wo think Mr. William n man of ability, but a to the extraordinary pirt of it wc fail to see, as does the ed itor above n tmed. We think the Sen ate of the I'uitcd -.States' contain mnnv greater mind", and men, too, who think the position of Williamson the suffrage question is very silly, and tho great things he has done for Oregon we should like to have the piper aforesaid point out. If to secure a daily mail on the west thh; of the; Willamette river, from Portland to Corvallis, as a consid eralion for taking from u our land grant, which would have enabled us to have bad the benefit of a railroad in stead of a daily mail, and inviting al Africa to come here and be made ci t i- Kens, and securing a fat office for; the editor of the Oregonian constitute a j great man, then Williams is great Aud as to the allusion to Judge Boise wo have to say, that the editor of the aforesaid pnpor may I know just what j Judge Boise's political sentiments are, we do not profess to know nor is it any of our ' business to know; but wc will say that if he is as radical on the ques tion of suffrage as Mr. Williams, we have never heard hini so declare, either in public or private; and further, that wc have read his letter on ihat subject, and do not so understand him. And again we tell the gentleman who edits tho aforesaid paper' that, if his version of the letter referred lo is correct, and if Boise is as foolitdity radical on that question as William!, we shall oppose him as strongly as wc do Mr Williams. And wo might as well say to the gen tleman who has been the special favor ite of his immaculate Senator, that we shall steadily oppose any roan who fa vors universal suffrage, or universal negro suffrage, or universal manhood suffrage, or any other kind of suffrage which extends that privilege to oppo site races, The truth is, Williams is a go between. He will not declare in fa vor of universal suffrage, as do' the courageous radicals, and yet he endorses the principle; ho endorsed the princi ple when ho voted for the Fifteenth Amendment; he undertook to oppose it when he voted to extend-the ballot to native Africans, the most ignorant people on the globe, and to exclude the educated and intelligent Chiucso. We might also say, for tho benefit of the aforesaid gentleman, that the radicals Nof Polk do Dot endorse. Mr.- Williams, because he opposed Mr. Sumner, and the conservatives hate hisf course. Tho Oregonian roaiarks that no man save Napoleon : III over surrendered on army of 100,000 men. That paper must not forget that this ia an age of progress, nnd henco it muat not express any astonishment at suctu natters. uorses aro reasonaoio tnev orsJ satisfied with a bit. " ; . ENDOaSKMENT 0 F S U M N K It It k P U - d i at ion or Williams. Below we give the 8th aud 9th resolutions of the Iowa Republican State platform, adopt cd Aug. 17tb, 1870 : T 8. Resolved, That the Republican party of Iowa welcomes to our shores j all human beings ot every nation, irre- - . - r . T ectivc of race 0r C0OTt voluntarily .. .1 seeking a home in our midst ; nnd that all the rights and privileges which we. as citizens, deman 1 for ourselves, we will freely accord to them. 9. Resolved, That we are in favor ot amending our Naturalization Laws by striking out the word "white' from the same, wherever it occurs. Does tho Oregonian endorse the above 1 if not should it not go to the Democracy ? And who now is leading the party to defeat in the opinion of the Oregonian? This is the legitimate result of the principles of the Fifteenth Amendment fruits of ladicalism. Progression, gentlemen ; for you know opposition to universal suffrage is retro- rration. Whos riaht now, Sumner or Williams? ANOTHER KxAMPLK OF O'MeARA'S Truisms. The Bulletin of the Cth thus comments upon the course of the Republican: - "The leading articles in the Dallas Republican so closely resemble the edi torials of the Herald as to caue the conjecture that they have the same common paternity. I he same silly abuse of Ben. Ilolladay, Senator Will iams and the Bulletin editor, aud the same absurd opposition to a railroad through Southern Oregon, character izes the two sets of articles." Now, Mr. Bulletin, you know when vou sav we arc onno-iu-r a railroad through Southern Oregon, you pro claim an unblushing falsehood ; and if there is anything in your conjectures, respecting the common paternity of the leading articles iu the llerall aud Re publican, havco't you got the thing reversed, Mr. Bulle tin-?
