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. m K!
