fe are pleased to know tthat soma
of the sentiojents so long held dear by
us, have advocates in' the United States
geuate. - Senator, Cole has offered a
resolution directing the Judiciary
Committee to inquire into the espcdi
cdcj of amending the Constitution so
as tQ. provide for the election of
President, Vice president and United
States Senators by the" people, which
resolution was adopted.
This would be ehaking off som? of
the relics of.inonarchy which .disgrace
republican institutions.' The people of
this country, as we have often before
said,' must do this thing and more.
We must go further ap4 abolish life
offices; take from the President kiqgly
prerogatives 5 strip him of 4us. gigantic
appointing power : allow no more
aBjen4taenf3Xi7.thf ppnstitutioir, ex
cept by a direct reference . to the
people ; establish forever the sovereign
ty of -the people p "put an end to the
arbitraryrule of monopolies apej class
lpgislaiiofl. make all offices elective by
thefceople, and fill those offices with
honest men. When these thing?, right
persbt $ha be dorie,: and acknowledged,
then, indeed, may we 'talk of true
reform in the Government. ,
Politicians and political newspaper
meo talk of the president as being
the """head of the Government. This
ideajfalftcrotii, and in perfect keeping
with ttjaV other glUy practice of our
divines kneeling down in their5 pulpits
and imploring the Almighty to give
ps good rulers, The truth is the
American people ought opt to recognize
any rulers r .pi. he,. President-as the
head of the Governmeo!, The idea :s
mooarchicaU The experiment to estab
lish' pure republican ism in this country
will never succeed, until those ideas
are abandoned ,and the people shall fully
understand that they alone are the rul
ers in this Government, and that all
their agents and ofijeers are their
serrants; not their rulers, s They must
eradicate the whole idea from the
mind, and stop teaching their children
the absurd and ridiculous notions of
rulers and masters.
The Mercury says
There was a time when it was an
honor. and a distinction to be known as
a member ot the State Legislature,
but the last Legislature of Oregon
robbed the position of all its former
respect -$ 4 .
lne above needs no addition or
comment, .
Wet stated - last week that the
President jo his annual message did
pot disclose what the policy of the
incoming administration would be.
We now see it hinted through the
press, that he will renew his San
Domingo fight" with Congress, and
demand retraction on the part of that
body, so that he can carry out his
contract with Baez. Some of the
administration organs however claim
that Grapt has given up the fight, and
does not intend to renew it ; but if that
position be correct, which we do not
believe, what explanation have they for
the unauthorized conduct of Grant in
expending millions of the people's
pionej .accomplish an act of tyranny
which shocked the feasibilities of the
christian world 7 How will he repair
that injury, and how account for
that mistake ?' Let his idol worshipers
answer. ., ,r.
As Wi ,ExpECTJi. Some of the
r.e-eating Radical papers are opptsing
Sumner's resolution to blot out the
memory of a war with brothers, The
resolution in substance is this;
Whihkas, National unity and
good will among fellow citizens cao be
assured only through the oblivion of
past differences, as it is contrary to the
usage of civilized nations , to perpetuate
the memory pf civil war; therefore, be
it
,Jt8Qlvedt That the names of battles
With fellow citizens shall not be eon tin
ued in the Arpiy Register nor . placed
on the regimeqta) colors of the United
IStates. '
We shall see who will oppose this
principle, and what spirit hall dictate
it
Subscribe for the Republican.
The Oregotyan says :
" Forney's, press' pays this; high
tribute to Geo. S. Boutwell, Secretary
pf the Treasury :
Most earnestly do we hope that Mr.
Ioutwell will not consi'ht to leava his
post as Secretary of; tho Treasury, even
for so teuipVmg a priz-V a3 that of
Senator in Congress. II is fame could
not be increased in that envied arena.
Ho is identified with the most perfect
system of finance in the world5 and
with as perfect an administration 'of
his great office as any of his illustrious
predecessors, not excepting Alexander
Hamilton. .
That is true, and Forney's press
pays this high tribute to Grant also :
lie is to-day" possessor of Imperial
now or. He can make or unmake
States or statesmen. lie can
chau-ro
policies as tie has crushed parties.
Can the Oregonian eudorso that
also ?
The Statesman and Oregon Ian seem
to be troubled about the designation of
the KepuiiliCaS as the litigant organ
for Polk County, and jsceni .to wonder
how it is that the Messenger has no
yc&ted. rights. as a litigant organ. ..We
could enliuhten the journals upon that
subject if we thought our duty required
it without pay, but as we are not thusly
impressed, we decline fur the present.
We have received a card from John
B. Fulton of New York, who pretends
to possess knowledge in a specific
branch of the legal profession, unknown
to anyone else. We can assure Mr.
Fulton that we have been sufficiently
bilked by New Yorkers already, and
his card will not be published unless
the money is sent to us in advance at
our advertising rates. ;
It is whispered that llulladay, the
bilk, has sloped. The only concern we
feel in tho matter is the fear that the
rumor is not true, it would be a bless
too great to come upon this people so
soon and so su'ldcn.
The President has declared that he
will fill the Territorial offices by the
appointment of residents from the Ter
ritories. That rule is correct if not
abused, but we predict it will amount to
nothingand is made for bumkum, Grant
will not adhere to it in good faith. The
only change vjsablc will be this, ap
plicants who ascertain in advance that
by becoming residents they ciq obtain
a certain office from Grant, will of
course, move directly there and at once
fall in love with the climate and
people, and receive thoir commisssions
Banks has offered resolutions fixing
the salary of the President at fifty
thousand dollars per year; that his
term of office bo six years, and hold
but one term, and that he shall be
elected by the people. This is all
right except the six years term, four
years is long enough, and tho fifty
thcusaud dollars salary is wrong, the
present salary is large enough, and it
onjiht not at any rate to be raised sj as
to apply to Grant, he has made money
enough already. But on the whole we
are satisfied tc fee a disposition to move
in the right din-ction in the House as
well as the Senate. We shall see if the
radical Grantites will endorse these
reTorms. Let our administration bre th
em show their hand. Are you willing
to dispose ot Grant in 1870 'I Arc you
willing to adopt the ono term system
from this time out? Are youwilling
that the people should elect the Presi
dent, Vice President and Senators ?
Are you willing to abolish life offices,
apd will you consent that Grant shall
not be crowned JSmpiror in 1870.
The State Riyhta Democrat comes to us
this week dressed in morning for tho
death of one of Albany's best citizens.Mr.
N.II. Craqor.we feel like mourning with
those that mourn on this occasion, we
were acquainted with this Honorable
gentleman personally. He was a kind
heaned husband and father, his genial
disposition made him a good and com
panionable friend he was a good citizen,
and an honest man, and a inen.ber
of the most important and honorable
profession known to civilization ; and
a greater tribute than all else., he ranked
high in that profession, We sincerely

We notice in the dispatches that S.
A. Clark .of Salem, the well known
u quill " and literateur, is in Salt Lako
City. Am Mr. Clark went East with
poetical aspirations rankling in his bo
som, we suppose that he premeditates a
Pacific " Don Juan," and has gone to
the city of the. Saints in order to study
the joys and sorrows of lirighuui's ha
rem. We wait anxiously for the de
nouement. We clip the above from the Bulletin.
We hope that Clarke's ' poetical asper
ations " may be realized, and that he
may become f ully acquainted with and
installed iuto all the joys of Brigham's
harem, and receive a grant for a life
tenure so that he shall go no more out
forevjr.
It has been decided by an investiga
ting committeo for that purpose, that
the destruction of tho Oregon City
Mills by fire was not the work of in
cendiarism, but the result of spontane
ous combustion in consequence of some
imflamable matter deposited in the
building.
It seems that the Bulletin at Portland
has uudergone a change and it is said
that Scott the former editor of the
Ore'ifonian is editor in chief. Tho
paper docs not state that fact or that
O'Mcara has been kicked out, let that
be as it miy tho paper seems improved
in tone, and we welcome it under its
new arrangement as among the best
of our exchanges.
WIS Mil: I AW I'UL,
Not many days since an old sub
scriber to the Repuiilican returned his
paper. with the following written there
on,
Il'l r f "ill
v lien I want your paper 1 will s
let you know." Now we feel awful
for the sufferings of this poor fellow,
for we venture that he will bi rrow the
Uki'CHUCAN, and read every issue as
carefully as he has done snce it was
founded. There is no great loss, it is
said, without some small gain. We do
recollect that the individual ever paid
us a cent for the paper.

The Commercial Reporter at Ciu
ciunati, publishes an article, purporting
to come from one of Grant's army of
military appointees, whieh undertakes
this early, to prove that Grant ought
to be perpetuated in office a third term
at least if not lor life. This is the li
gitimate results of the theory upon which
grant was elected to his si eo.ul term,
and we have no doubt but tint his wor
shipers will insist that herbal, continue
to govern thi penph.
