ForJTicAL.--The Democratic State
Central Committee has met and fixed
their convention on the 9th of Septem
ber at Portland and have recommended
their primaries and county conventions
to be held on the same days recommen
ded by the Kepublicana. The people
now have a chance to nominate and
elact some honest capable man for
Congfess, and if they will make the ef
fort by commencing in the primaries
and see to it, that none but men of thrir
choice is selected as delegates to the
county of State Conventions, instructed
to vote for a certain man or class of
men, they will succeed,
otherwise they will be cheated. If
the people of both the present political
parties will pursue this course we shall
have a good man to represent us in
Congress no matter which party win,
but if the people arc cheated in their
nominations and political demagogues
succeed, then the plain duty of the
people will be, to call a convention at
dnce, nominate and elect a man of their
Own choice, without reference to party
name or ties.
Tin-; duty of tiii: i'i;opi,n
The Republican ?tate Central Com
mittee have called a convention to meet
at Albany for the purpose of nominat
ing a candidate for Congress, and if
the people desire to put some on in
the field of their own choice, a man
on whom they can rely, an honest capa
ble teab, and a man whose name they
know; they must turn out generally
and attend the primaries. If they stay
at homo and permit office seekers to
ehoose for them, they will put a bad
man in the field. The only security
for the feople, is for every voter to at
tend the primaries and send such men
to the county Contentions, as will be
inre to send good mcu to the State con
tention, with instructions to vote for no
mab ttcept he is known to bo one of
the people, not for a demagogue and
political office seeker whobjr his mam
moth (bump Jof self esteem is removed
far from the people, but one who is a
practicle substancial man, a solid sober
mnh, Oot a drunkard, not a thief, a
gambler, a trickster or mercenary man.
The people have plenty of good men
in their midst from whom they cau
select, fake a man who abhors clicks
and rings and who stands square upon
his independence and is of strict In
tegrity, and you are safe; otherwise
you Will be cheated, defrauded, deceiv
ed and disgraced by your servant, while
ut midnight, he eits in secret conclave
with his brothers in crime, spending
your substance reveling in the halls of
your national capitol, wjuaudering your
money without your consent in rioting,
Oebauchery aud general profligacy j
ami when you shall complain of his
tyranny, be will laugh at your calamity
nnd tnock when your (car cometh.

Cisco, radical, don't like Governor
Hooth because fcooth refuses to be run
by the railroad ring, it, don't like the
Republican Platform or the candidates,
because they are antirailroad. Wilson
said w bile making the last canvass in
Oregon that he wowld, if he could, give
every foot of vacant land in Oregon
to railroad raon opolies, and the Grant
itcs screamed until they were hoarse.
What will they do m the coming con
vention' and ca-nvass on that subject.?
11()V MHA(ili
Hot a short time ago, when the
Union party began to degenerate by
its radicalism and change of name, and
when its leader become druuk by cor
ruption and political debauchery, and
opened the floodgates of naturalization
and citizenship ttr all A friia and invited
that horde of barbarions to come here
and assist us in the great experiment
of self-governient, and actually exten
ded the elective franchise to tho?e of
that race who were here, the great rna
jority of the little politietans,whiifcta and
demagogues of that party of, "progress
never goes backward," together with a
majority of its members all said: We
don't think its right, we are sure the
principle is wrong, we agree with you,
it should never have been done, and
we would not stand it at ail, if Senator
Williams hadn't declared it necessary
to create a loyal element in the l?oath.
but now the thing has become a ''fixed
fact" and we might as well anjuiesce
because we can't change it, b;caue
they argued, to denounce what our
immaculate Congress has done, and
what has been sanctioned most solemnly
by our Republican President, wou'd
be equivalent to a disbaadment
of this glorious party of progress, that
is destined to rule or ruin during the
next quarter of a century.
The Inst Congress committed another
blunder, in magnitude but sunll its
true, compared with the first, in the
passagt? of the ialnry bill, which also
was cheerfully acquiesced in and
figncd by the Prrvdeut, but the howl
now goes up from even the worshipers
of Grant that, this law was passed by a
band of thieves, and they cry on every
corner of the street for its repeal, and
the apologists of our modern ca?sar
whisper, he is willing it should be re
pealed, alt hut Ai salary. The very
soil of America to-day, wears a hideous
blush, for the infamy of her degenerate
sons. Why is it that the first and
greater wrong was patiently born, and
the last and lesser one so violently de
nounced? the answer is ready; because
tho political villiani who perpetrated
both, found in the former ease,their ex
periment was not too great for the
gullibility of the masses of their wor
shipers, while in the latter, they soon
discovered the elephant was too large
and hence their howl. If the righteous
are scarcely saved, where will the sin
ner and the ungodly appear.
I NTI'CRITY.
The perpetuity of our institutions
depends on the integrity and intelli
gence of our people. If we, the people,
are the custodians of the government,
aud if those we elect or appoint to of
fico are but our hired servants, it is our
privilege and our duty to watch them in
all their public acts with "eternal vigi
lance," lest they go wrong and imperil
out interests and our liberties.
If We nominate, elect, and appoint
only honest and capable men to office,
there can be no danger, and wo may
rest assured that our lemocatic ltepub
jic will continue to r'ne and shine Rut
if, on the contrary, wo permit notorious
thieves and swindlers to have the man
agement of affairs, we may foresee,
with certainty, the day of our doom.
When such bad, ambitious men as Ren
Rutler arc permitted to take the helm
of our great Republican ship, we may
know our ruin is near; and when wo
permit such tricksters as Rarnum tho
fchowmauto be elected to Congress, we
may Iianr our heads in humiliation,
8him and despair The former Was
eut to New Orleans during the war
to render such services as were re--
quired, and,, efficient measures
effected hk purposes. He stumped
Iho country in tho interest of the Un
ion. He has been amply hoiorcd and
amply remunerated for his sor vices.
We owe him nothing. He aspiras ta
the leadership in Congress Weak mem
bcrs would make him their bell-wether.
. He sees an opportnnity to make a nice
grab on Unelo Sam's greenbacks, and
avails himself of it, carrying with him
others of similar cast of mind and
moral obliquity. Tire Nation- eried outf
"Thief, thief 1" but be only laughed
at reproaches.
It is but a few years ago that th e
ambitious showman from Connecticut at
tempted to break into Congress. He
failed, though another fellow of the
samo name, his competitor, succeeded.
If oje was only a blatant trickster,
the other was worthless as a legislator.
The State gained nothing from his
services, and tho Ration, wo presume,
paid his salary.
A few years ago an indtlstrious tailor
became an alderman in the vill?go in
which he lived. Reinga fluent speaker
and successful debater, he was elected
to Congress Ry accident he became
President, to fill a vacancy. His will
fulness and obstinacy wero the cause of
a costly trial for impeachment, ending
iu its failure, and he served out his
term and then subsided.
An energetic shovel-maker, of Massa.
chusetts, made considerable money, and
because of this was invited to become
a legislator, which he was foolish
enough to accept. Seeing only the in
terest of the shovel-maker, instead of
the interests tf the nation, ho " went
in" for self-agrandizcment, and be

a man if he gain the whole world, or
ten millions of dollars, by coriupting
members of Congress, and lose Lis own
life?" Recause one is a goal soldier
tailor, shoemaker, showman, or h-vel-m?ker,
it does not follow that he will
make a good statesman. Here "w where
Americans lack discrimination. We
krify sucr,s?; no matter what in nor
