V COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
' :
What Is Going on at the Capital.
The Legislature has convened ntm
liarmoniotislv or:Hnzld hy the election
cf Fay President of the Senate. nnd
Hayden Speaker of the House. This
speedy orjranititlon looks verv much
like business. Of course the all ah.
sorbin topic is who phall he Senator?
OoP Kelly ia there and looks as thouih
"he thought his chance favorahle, at
lea-tj ex-Congressman Stout is there
also, but quite ill so much so that h
is not able to make his appraranc'.
Fay and Whitoaker are considered out
of the way, beinjr members. Ex-Senator
Xestnith is talked of by some as
beinjjthe ablest man in the party, and
there is no doubt of the correctness of
this position. Senator Williams is on
liand, and it is very hard to conclude
from appearances alone, whether or not
he expects to be re elected by a Demo
cratic Legislature, who but two years
ago politely requested him to resign.
TheJJoo. Mr Mitchell is also at Sa
lem, but is a man of too much sense
to expect on election under the circum
stances; and Mr. Ilolladay is there,
and the Statesman seems ela'ed over
the fact that Ilolladay hay actually be
come a resident of Salem for a few
days. Yes, Benjamin is there with his
one hundred thoutaod dollars, and he
has a right to be; and we have suf
ficient information to believe that he
also has an inexhaustible quantity of
Freoch "brandy. Now. Mr. Ilolladay
has a right to have all this and more,
if he wants it, so that he docs not inter
fere with the rihfs of any one else;
and he has a riuht to occupy the man
sion erected by cx-Secretary May, and
if he ha obtained Ihhvc. a right to coo
vert that magnificent parlor into a hfgh
toned Senatorial 'redeye" saloon ; he
has a right to pay out his money to
whom he pteases for legitimate pur
poses, but, ia our judgment, all, this
will not effect the election of Unit d
States Senator As to who will be' the
neifiil ni:in is nnlv cnniectnra hut
. . ",1, t r u
we are content with the proof we have J
that neither a secessionist nor a univer
suSrageist can receive the sanction of
that body; and it is high time that the
people began to wake up to this all im
portant subject, for the time is coming
and now is, when men of influence pro
claim, on the comers of the streets in
every city throughout the land, that
the extension of the elective franchi-e
to all races of men, irrespective of col
or, means not universal suffrage, but is
intended to disfranchise the poor and
to establish a mouied monopoly, that
will finally reduce the poor laborer and
his posterity to abject clavery. We
raise, this early, our warnfng voice
gainst this growing evil. Ask Sum-
oer, Trumbull, I'htliip?, ureeley, and
host of universal suffragists in Oregon
and they will all tell you the proper
qualification should be "intelligence
and property." And what does this
Jast phrase mean? . It means that if a
man is in the possession of wealth he
has plenty of intelligence, so the thing
is simmered down to money. We stand
today as we ever intend to stand, an
outspoken advocate of the rights of the
great mass of the people, the laboring
nan, the poor as well the rich. It is
most alarming when we mark the grow
tag opinion in our midst that the peo-l
pla are incompetent to govern them
selves. When that oninion shall ner-
- 1
ade tho minds of a majority of the
American people, then the last hope of
man on earth to establish Republi
canism permanently will have been for
ever bfet. The sovereigns of the pres
cnt day end generation must act, and
act quickly in reference to our political
evils, which are rapidly growing Into
monsters, or we shall be compelled to
hand down to our posterity, Republi
can institutions, 11 tottering wreck.
Iet th Truth Appear and Justice be
Done, Tnongh the Heavens Fall.
' it is carious to kruow how many dif
ferent ways men will turn to shirk re
f ponsibility and evade the real truth.
At every step in our radicalism we have
jtt; lest, lost, end yet the radical pa
pers of our party have invariably eo
idiavcroed to present tome petty excuse
tt ccrer op the real eoe. There ii but
otic substantial reason, and! that is, thi
infernal suffrage question ; this is the
great mistake of our party, and the
great misfortune has been, that every
step we took was the pretext for anoth
er, until we have swallowed all Africa ;
and now we have but one jother divis
ion of the globe to tako in, on which
esidea to-day hundreds of millions of
educated, intelligent -human beings,
and then the wretched work will be
completed. In all this wild career we
have stood by the ship of State, and
endeavored, as best we could, to pump
the ingushing waters from' her leaking
hull, while it was pierced on the one
side dy secessionists and by universal
suffrageists on the other.
But, thanks to the God of nations,
that while by the operatians of fools
ml designing men she has been stead
ily sinking, despite the eff rts of coo
servatives, until her guards are at the
water's edge ; her flags are still flying,
whose proud stars apd stripes remain a
terror, and yet the hope of civilized
man. And if now we can stop, retrace
our steps, and defend her against her
enemies and establish her ways, then, as
a party, there will be heaped upon us
loud praises and everlasting blessings
by millions yet unborn. j Still, in the
face of all these blating truths, men
willsieep 00 in their folly against their
better judgment, and attempt to form a
covering to hide, the sin. But of all
the excuses which we have heard, one
proclaimed, at the Capital in public
places, not long since, in onr hearing,
seemed the most unkind. It was that
our late Governor having been identi
fied with the transaction of the resig
nation of the Republican members of
the Legislature of 18G8, our party had
lust heavily in the last election.
Now, in all candor, we do not believe
that a single vote was lost to tho Re
publican party in consequence of the
resignation of those members, or of
Governor Wood's connection with it
It is too late now to attempt to make a
scape-g at of our late worthy Governor
on whose back shall be packed the sins
of a whole political organization. It
my be he has made mistakes, but if
b ; has it is but human to err, and the
great wrongs that hawe been committed
n 1.1.1
by others ought not now to be charged
upon him. No, we would rather invoke
the gods to create within us a heart
kind enough to forgive the few wrongs,
if any he has committad, aud to give
us the moral courage to ttand by his
noble deeds, dressed in onr armor,
ready for the fight.
Monroe Doctrine.
It was announced from Paris some
days since that President Grant had
.instructed Minister Washburne to re
cognize the French Republic, and to
convey the congratulations of the Gov
ernment to the French authorities on
the successful establishment of a Re
public. As yet we have seen no ad
vices from Washington confirming this
Paris news, and wo hope the President
has not officially recognized the new
French Government before it has been
demonstrated that there is power or
ability to maintain a Republic on the
ruins of the old monarchy. We re
garded Grant's position in the Cuban
recognition question as being very
statesmanlike and think the same train
of reasoning would apply in this case,
and especially as we were on the most
friendly terms with Prussia.
The1 European powers seem to regard
the establishment of a French Republie
with jealousy and evince a disposition
to lend' aid to Prussia rather than in
terfere in behalf of France to bring
ajout peace. The recognition on the
part of the United States would, in
honor, bind the Government to lend
aid "to France, but just at the present
juncture of affairs we can ill afford to
engage in a Jbreign war. We are of
those who firmly believe in the Monroe
doctrine, to compel European powers
to leave us of- America alone; and wo
are in favor of the rule applying both
ways, and let Europeans take care of
themselves. We know that abstractly
it u a fine thing to encourage republics,
but we are of the opinion that practi
cally we should hesitate with expres
sions of recogeitioo until such time as
the new formed republio exhibits the
ability to maintain itielf, and establish
a Lovernment that its elemct b of
The Resultant Man ot America
A writer in the Technologic discuss
es the question of immigration with
its bearings on the character of the
American peojle fifty years hence,
lie does not examine the question from
'a point of abstract right to come to
this country ofof the assumed theory
that we must welcome every foreigner,
but he considers what influence this in
flux of outsiders will have on the man
ners, customs, &c , of the native popu
lation. The writer maintains that the num
ber of immigrants should not be great
er than can be absorbed or assimilated
with the native population. This, he
h ilds, has never yet taken place. Ro
tables he shows that up to 1850, the
nativity of the immigrants correspond
ed more nearly with that of th oiigi
al settlers, and thus favored the contin
ued homogenuous character of the peo
ple. Latterly the per cent, of Germans
have been, greater than formerly, but
the small number have been unable to
impress any of their ideas or manners
upon the great mass of the people, but
they, on the other hand, have come to
think and act as original natives.
New England and the Middle States,
with a population of 40 to 150 per
I square mile, is about occupied and of
fers but Httlc inducements to the set
tler. It is evident then that the ex
panding West has furnished the field
for immigration, and with the occupy
tlon of its lands and the development
of its resources, this fie'd must be lim
ited in its area, and the population of
the United States assume more the sta
tionary character of Europe. This
event, the writer thinks, will happen
thirty or forty years hence, assuming
the rate of increase to be in that time
what it has btcnr for the last forty
years, when our population will num
ber a hundred million s , composed
of descendants of many nationalities,
but blended into a race characteristic
of the American citizen for centuries
to come. Any influx of foreigners af
ter that time cannot be numerous
etough eo but that they will be absorb
ed and almost lost among the native
population.
It is evident then, that so far as the
labor question is concerned, Europe
must cease to supply any consi lerable
portion of our demands, and all ranks
of society must be recruited from our
own teeming millions. Even the com
ing of Asiatics at that time will be dis
couraged, and now, as far as the mere
question of labor is concerned, their
advent can never seriously effect us,
for the manners, custorrs and language
being so different from those of the
United States that no trace of them
will ever be engrafted on our political
or social faerie.
Out opinion, however, is that we can
never, with entire safety to ourselves,
treat these Asiatics in any other man
ner than as aliens, for to make citizens
and voters of tlicni would be like hand
ling the dead coal we might not get
burned, but 0 r hands would be soiled
hy the handling.
We have perused the Message .-of
Gov. Woods and we think it an able
one, and heartily concur in most of his
special recommendations. Tho Ju
diciary ought to be reconstructed, our
school law, road law, and many other
of our general laws, as we have hereto
fore shown, are in a bad condition, and
deserve special attention. '
And our new Governor has been in
augurated. and with it we suppose will
come the inauguration of a new order
of things. The peoplo will be relieved
of the large and oppressive burdens of
taxation, a law will be passed, in ao
cordance with tho State Constitution,
to remove all negroes and mufattoes
from the State, and if there is no ad
joining State or Territory whose laws
will receive them, then they roust
be driven to the West and into that
place where the devil drove the swine ;
laws will be enacted which will tax the
Chinaman out of the State, by biudiog
upon his back a burden which we our
selves refuse to bear, and all this upon
the principle that the Constitution of
Oregon is paramount to the laws of
Congress, because the General Govern
ment has no powers except those spe
cially delegated to it by the States, and
the State of Oregon has not delegated
to Congress the power to tay whether
or not neirroest slialJ come ,to this State
and be citizens, and consequently re
tains that power herself. :TLo flag is
waving to-day in triumph over the hall
of the State Capitol, while in those halls
and under that flag is convened the
Representatives of, a brave and free
people. How long this can be said in
truth, Heaven can ouly divine, for to
day this great Government hangs upon
a thread between the two extremes if
tho now contending parties in tho Uni
ted States, and it remains only to bo
seen whether either of the ex Irenes
shall succeed ; for if they do, then our
hope is lost and our efforts vain, and we
shall fall amid the crash of governments
now so eminent.
The Bulletin man calls uprn us in
plaintive tones not to ask' him to cor.
robiate anything wo may say. Now,
Jimmy, we want you should distinctly
understand that we never call upon in
fants or educated fools to corroborate
anything we might say ; and especially
yuu, Jimmy, for, in common with all
others, we never did believe a word
you said, excc;t we knew-its truth
from other sources. We often feel the
force of the advice given by our pa
ternal ancestor, to the effect that, in all
our dealings with mankind, we would
find it better todcal with ten knaves than
one fool, and especially if he was edu
cated. Now, M r O'Meara, hadn't you
better stop throwing dirt at us and at
tend to that little fight you hare with
the doctor.
