m S t ; jO, it ; a u 21 g p at lit au. ' " DALLAS, SATURDAY JAN. 11. A Sensible View Tiie leader of Feb. 17th n 4emos the iate Democratic) conference At Columbus, Ohio, which conference 1 was Jed and controlled by Pendleton, Valiatidighaai and Col. McCook. VaU landighani declared that the Demo cratic party must " restore the old fed ,eral Republic as our fathers made it." -The Sui remarks, do the great lights ,4t Democracy see no further than this ?" and goes on to argue that the Republican ; party will not be fools ,uoagh to re-nominate Gen. Grant for President In 1872, but that they will put forth a strong man ; and that if .the Democracy win, they must draw to , their ranks a large number of Republic .cans; that it can only be accomplished by rery-judicious i management; that those' men who seem disposed to leave the Republican party ana join with the Democracy, are a respectable class of men, and taen of progress, and not fos silized, politicians who mope about in grave yards ; and that they are a class ,of men who will not be satisfied to take a ack feat in any organization into vhich they may go; and the editor Tery strongly intimates to his party that in order to achieve success, they must . not only discard such men as Vallandigham and Pendleton, but must ,ee)ect some of the Republicans who are willing to come into their ranks as their .standard bearers. This is plain talk, and means Chase for President. We like .the Sun's conservatism and frank ess. The truth is, Jthe.Su displays aoro ingenuity and wisdom in politics than all the other Democratic papers in New York ;,but the Sun will find that - if it undertakes to steal the radicalism of the Republican partjv.to wit, univer sal suffrage, and incorporate that into the Democratic creed, it will overshoot the mark, and Democracy will find itself In a still worse dilemma than they would be to stand upon the Ohio plntfortn, which is peaceable secession sod slavery. We labored with the Union party daring the war to prevent the success of that damnable heresy, secession, and nre have remained with that party ince,$ war, aiidqriojr is change of name, and to some .eent, principles, and still remain, but pot to endorse that other and equally great policul hereti cal poliey of establishing African citi zenship and suffrage, thereby opening Xhe doors and extending a special invi tation to all Africa ; the greatest mass of superstition and ignorance on the globe, to ewarm into our midst, who will, with the countless Asiatics who Are already in sight; overrun our coun try, spread heathanism and idolatry jbroadcast in the land, degrade and destroy our moral powers, mix op with our posterity; and send us finally into the condition in which we now behold Mexico and many portions of South America. We agree with the Sun, there must be revolutions in polities in this Government, and that quickly, or we shall be compelled to go down in the morning of life, and be counted among the things that were ; and we suggest to the Sun that the following reforms rust bo made in order to perpetuity an4 to get rid of thoe miserable relics of monarchy that have so long lingered about bur wosslbe' Republican institu tions: We must establish by funda mental law that ours is a national Gov ' ernment u by Jthe ' whole , people-not a confederation of Governments ; we mast extend the ballot, confine it strictly to oar own race ; we must abolish all lifieoCicea and establish short tenures ; we must . allow, the people to vote di rectly for President and Vice president pf the United States ; the people must Jake away from the President large portions of hjs appointing power ; the people must declare that there shall be no uniting of State and Church i a, this Government, and no more squandering of the public moneys; and they must introduce into their criminal code, heavy penalties to be visited upon any person or. persons who shall give, or offer to give, any money or valuable thing to. the President of the United States during hi? continuance in office; and also upon any Presideut who shall, during his official term, give, or offer to give, any money or valuable thing Detongtng 10 ine uovernmenc, io cy person or persons whatsoever, or shall bestow, or offer to bestow upon his father, grandfather brother, sister, un cle, brother in-law, sister in-law, first, second or third cousin, any office of trust or profit. Stand upon these grounds, Mr. Sum and we are with you THE CHRISTIAN MI.BNGEB. The Messenger of Feb. 4th has an answer to the Republican of Jan. 28th, which we would recommend to all who have an interest in the subject matter therein contained, and after full consideration, tell us who will, what you think of the reasoning. The Mcs senger says, 4The REPUBLICAN dashes off a few questions from memory to show us that Jesus is called God. We fail to see in any single quotation, or all of them taken together, that such, is the fact," We are very sorry the Messenger lis so. skeptical, and immersed in the fogs of modern theology, that it cannot see and believe that Jesus Christ is called God ; and in order that the edi tor may have proof in its character irre fragable, we quote : And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me; John 12th, 45." " Phillip saith unto him, Lord show us the father and it sofficeth us. Jesus sail h unto him, have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip ? he that hath seen me hath seen the father; and how sayest thou then, show us the father? 14th, 8th and 9th." I and my father are one ; lUth, 30th." For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the Government shall be upon his shoulder : and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor,' The mighty God, The everlasting father, The prince of peace; Isaiah 9th, 6th." " The voice of bim that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God ; 40th, 3d." " Thus saith the Lord the king of Israel, and Iris redeemer the Lord of hosts; I ri the first, and I am the lat and beside me "there it no God ; 44th, 6th." For thy maker ts thioe husband ; the Lord of hosts is his name ; and thy redeemer the holy one of Israel : The God of the whole earth shall he be called ; 54th, 5th." If Jesus : Christ was not the redeemer ypoken of by the prophets, who should come into the world and suffer, that men might be saved, and if he was not God, who had taken upon himself hu man nature, and who appeared in the world in the form of man, in order to accommodate himself to the under standings of, men, so as to accomplish the plan of salvation ; and if he was neither God nor man, tell us who he was, and what was his nature and cha racter. He must have been a being created at a time certain, or his exist ence must have been co extensive with that of God himself. If created, when, and where? If not created, then he must be self-existent from eternity; and it the latter, then he is a God; and if the lather spoken of in the Rible is another and separate God, then there are two Gods instead of one. We come to these conclusions from our reading of the Bible, not only as a law book, but to ascertain the way of life and sal vation. We have in our library three hundred volumes of law books, promi nent among which, and more valuable than all to us, is the Bible. There is another "theory contended for in the Messenger .which we cannot find laid down. Uj ".'the I Bible, and that Jsjhis: that ' Water baptism is essentia J to a man's salvation, and that immersion only is baptism. This to us is as ab surd as that other theory, taught to Christendom, that to Peter was deliv ered the keys of the kingdom, and that Peter delivered them to the Pope, who nQwlholdi thenj, with power to let in whomsoever he pleases and to excom municate' , whoever offends ; and this power, it is claimed, carries with it add establishes the doctrine of infallibility. aeenenasnaaaBsaBfJaBBsMMSaWaVMN " Pendleton, Hendricks, Blair. The New York Sun says : Mr Pendleton is an aspirant for the Democratic nomination for the Pre sidency in 1872, and is jealous of the rising popularity of Mr. Hendricks in the WeBt. He doubtless believes that the iotro luction of the name of Hen dricks into the Convention of 1868 was one of the main causes of his defeat in that body; aud therefore Pendleton is plotting to prevent the nomination of Hendricks in 1872. It is believed in some well-informed quarters that this was one of the principal reasons for holding the recent Columbus Confer ence, with the attempted restoration of the old red sandstone epoch of Demo, cratic doctrines, in which Hendricks has ceased to put his trust. ' Gen. Frank Blair's speech, wherein ho received the obnoxious eeottmfnta of the Broadhnad letter, may perhaps have been intended to operate in the same direction, though we rather think not. Blair mv be quite willing to hate Hendricks ruled off the course WtioV orthodox on old issues, but he is not likely to prefer pendleton to himself as the trrio exponent of the Democratic faith; and he may well think that if the candidate for the Vice-Presidency in 1864 had the right to demand the first place on the ticket in 1868, so the nominee for the Vice-Presidency in 1868 may insist upon carrying the standard of the party in 1872. However, we are of opinion that ere the next Democratic Convention meets, the rank and file of the Democracy will teach all aspirants to the nomination that the red sandstone epoch, and fos silized politicians generally, are quite out of date in this progressive age. They have had their day, and in the estimation of the living men of the time, they are laid away forever." So far as we are concerned, it would make little difference wh'ich of the three gentleman whoee name heads the above article was elected, provided either must be, but we should think it unmiV takable evidence of declining strength in this Government, if such men could receive the majority of the votes of a free and, intelligent people, in a Re public like ours. Pendleton is a selfish partisan, who cares for no man or party except for the purpose of selfaggraii dizement; cold, thankless in disposition, he would sacrifice friends, principle and patriotism in crder to place himself in power, He was the greatest and most able advocate of the traitor, and the principle of peaceable secession in Con gress during the war. He ia a man of great powers of mind, of great erudu tioo, and, consequently, he stands to day among the most dangerous of American Statesmcu that could ponsibly be chosen to fill the Presidential chair. Hendricks is a man of large statue, but without brains, and ifelected, would be compelled, like his last two illustri ous predecessors, to be used as an in strument to (Carry out the designs of winked and unscrupulous dtgogpes; and we think, for this reason alooa, he stands the best chance to rwciye the nomination of either of the trio.' Blair belongs to snake kingdom, and is all things to all men, ,while his eye spar kles and bis face wears a sunny suile. his fangs are loaded with poison ; he has alwajs believed, together with the balance of the Blair family, hat to his Satanic Majesty, that old serpent, was delegated originally the power , to male or unmake men. - He has traversed the whole political line, from the meanest abolitionist, to the dirtiest red mouth secessionist, and to day he stands a wreck and wretch in the minds pf good men, completely stripped of all that is good or comely, will soon disappear from the political arena, unhoaoed and unsung, and will finally go down to hold sweet converse with him, whose faithful servant he is. SENATOR WILLIAMS, We sed by late dispatches, that Sen ator Williams will soon report his joint resolution in respect to the 660,000 acres of land appropriated by our con stitution to the school fupd of 'this State, with an amendment which, in effect legalizes the action of oil late Legislature iry appropriating 0200,000 of our school money to erect locks at Oregon City, for the benefit of a few pet individuals, upon the principle that the children ol the poor in the State could better get along without an edu cation, than the rich. could live Without being made richer by donations, from the last Legislature. The truth is, there was no necessity for the resolution at all. Congress had already given its assent, 'and 'if this move bad potheen made by Williams, the ppurts of Ore gon aud of the United States would never have allowed one dollar of the money to have been drawn frofn the school fund ; bnt if, by the manage ment of our Senator, Congress shall pass a resolution which shall have the effept of its giving its assent now, to all of said fpnd- except the 0200,000 already wropgfully taken by wioked hands, then those pretenders, who frave undertaken to Jord it over God's herj. T tage, will have some excuse to come before the Courts and ask, with sancti monious countenance, that this money shall be drawn from the Treasury of the State and given, without recom pense, to satiate the financial thurst of those who, in their selfishness, forget that we are commanded not to lay up treasure on earth where thives break through and steal. Let the people mark well this act of its Senator, and its fruits, If successful. Tit is to be hoped, however, that our Senator, Mr. Corbett who thus far has been faithful to the best interests of .Otegoo, will look well to this taattflr, and see that it does not pass,' by referring the Senate , to our Constitution and the Act of Congress admitting us into the Union, and espe cially sections one and four, which clearly show that the absent required by the Constitution was given at the time of admission, aod consequently that the Act of the Oregon Legisla ture, in attempting to appropriate a portion of our school fund to internal improvements, is absolutely void. Que ry: How much, if anything, does Wil liams get for' bis amendment to the resolution ? THE STATUS OP THE SCHOOL FUND OK POLK COUNTY. Mr. Editor: As there has been somes talk amongst the people of Polk owing to the discoveries made about the minus quantity of the School fund of this couuty, I deem it butf air aod just to make a statement, so that all may be rightly informed in regard to the mat ter, and to the eod that no man or men may be wrongfully accused. Polk county, to-day, h out of pocket in her irreducible School fund 01,63827 with interest payable semi-annually at the rate of ten per centum to this date. The facts are aa follows : In 1864 the Legislature created a board of Land Commissioners, to sell School lands. This Board consisted of the then Gov ernor, Secctary, and State Treasurer, viz: Woods, Cooke, May and I. It. Mores, Clerk and agent for said Board. In the year 1860, the Legislature en acted a law requiring the School Super, intendents of the several counties to re port to the above mentioned Board, iin mediaidly after the , passage of said act of 1&66, the description, quantity and value of, each tract of land in their re spective counties' and to turn over to the said Board the proceeds of all sales heretofore made and all obligations for atony due or to become due for such sales, or for their proceed) loaned out. In pursuance of the said act last men tioned, William Howe, then the Treas urer of Polk County and in posesion of the said fund did on the Cth day of December, 1866, turn ever to the said Board all moneys and notes belonging to aaid fund in this county and took their receipt for the same, amounting in the aggregate to the sum of 08,889 27, in notes and money as fo1 lows, to-wit ; Notes for Ccln and not specified. .....ti7fl 00 Legal Tenders .....2,575 00 Legal Tadrt 1,377 10 Coia 261 17 Total.. , atn t,$$9 27 The Board retained said amount three months and telve days and returned to Mr. Howe the said notes amounting to $7,25100 and retained the currency and coin amounting to 81,638 27. In 1868 the Legislature passed an act requiring said Board to pay over all moneys in their hand or that may rise from the sale of School or Univerity lands, to the County Treasurer in which said lands are located, and the same to be loaned by said Tresaurer as provided for by the said act, " loaning of the ir reducible School fund. The County Treasurer being by the same act crea ted the local agent for aaid Board. In defiance of that lae mentioned law of 1868, the Board which was then un changed and consisted of the same men as aforementioned, neglected and failed to over according to said provision of law of 1868, the said mounts, $1,337 10 Mr. I. R. Moies-answered by saying that they had loaned the same out and that they could not readily produce the notes, and gerhaps it would be impos sible as it in all probability was loaned with other money and to whom and when they could not say. They further informed us that it was a State fund and that is was a "pet theory of people" tnat it was intended by the law to be controlled by the counties. I was, at the time, and am still aware to what extent and in what manner it was and is a State fund, and I think everbody who ean read the law of the land under, stands the same thipg. Rut I do not propose to discuss the law on the sub ject at this time. Ny intention as I stated in the outset, is to place the sub ject properly before the people, so that injustice may not be done toany. There are other things connected with the matter, but tf me fosbids my speaking of them. Any person wishing to assure themselves of the correctness of my statemen, will pleas call at mj office in Dallas, and I will cheerfully produoe the documents for my authority. Respectfully yours. D.
