DALLAS SATURDAY NOV. 8. WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE, The people of Oregon should now tarn their attention to political con cerns. If ours fce a repablicart gov .eminent, thzn the supreme authority refits entirely, with the people, and it is 8 great mistake for the people in general to suppose that the? have nothing to do but to vote for the can didates BOtpjDated by packed conyen- tisns, for the special benefit of the few Jp times like the present, when cor ruption is fharged upon, and proved pgainsi many officers of the govern ment (servants of the people, and raen whose ignorance totally unfits them for business, are placed in high posi tions by rings, and cliques in their operations for personal aggrandise ment, the people should be roused totheir pwn cresent interest, the welfare of posterity, and to the permanent estab JishmeAt of that form of gove rnment Jthey profess so dearly to love. "With the American people, ours is undoubtedly a popular government, Jjut fop present administration is far from being a popular one, and the great question with ,the people seems to le, how shall it be corrected ? Will the party organization which has made so many mistakes, and become so cor rupt, correct its own evils ? If the history of the past furnishes any guide for the future, then it is safe to s;y they will not, and this feeling is deep aoated in the hearts of the people. If the party in power can not correct .the evils of which the people so justly and bitterly complain, can the opposing .party, Democratic so called, be suc cessful in correcting these evils and inspiring that confidence necessary to the establishment of a political party in hiph the ma3sp3 of the people shall eel unshaken safety. Judging from the'popular expression of both parties the answer is in that well known mono syllable no. What then, is the remedy ? Wh&t eight to be done ? We see no escape frqm the present dilemma, save in the organization of a new and third party, who in their desire to do justice, and perfect and perpetuate republican in- Btitutionsshall step in between the two, strike down their power and corruption, 'and standing upon a platform ot pure progressive principle, and invok ing the blessings of high Heaven, d -clair by the Great Eternal this Union ejiall be 'preserved,'nd equal frights established, political prostitutes pun ished, and public plunder stopped. We believe for this change the people are readv, the people ot Cali fornia so expressed themselves in their late election, and the people of Oregon would have so done last month if a third and good man had been in the field as witness the vote polled at the late election. One suggesting we de sire to make. This most desirable ob ject can not be attained by lethargy and procrastination, but if the people pf Oregon will turn their attention now to this thing, use the winter to prepare for our very important spring election, 'a new people's party can be organized upon a basis that will sweep the State, . and drive into oblivion both the pres ent parties who deserve nothing better ; But if the people $haj procrastinate the very thing they agree should be accomplished, until after the conven tions of the two old parties have met, then, as usual, it will De too late. Let the people of each county meet, confer, appoint delegaes to a State convention, put ut a platform of progressive, 'pure principles suited to the ae in which we live, nominate men capable and incorruptible, to fill every office in the Slate and then when the June elec tion shall come, with a 6rm tread, walk over this army of political thieves, and frown down the mass ot corruption that has so long, and still stalks tho streets at noon day with impunity- But a little more than one half of the vote of the State was polled at the la e election.
