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. Nesmith wat elected by. a
majority of about two thousand. The
tlepublican party did not carry their
candidate,Hiram but Smith was com
pelled to tote the Republican party.
