As proof, we have but to instance the case of a wealthy capitalist, who having succeeded in securing the support of the Kxecntive .and Congress of the United States to aid in his seltish schemes, came here to Ore gon ami thought it, therefore, an easy task to control the political sentiment of her people. "(Jrover i a very good man," said he pend ing the last State canvass, " but he can't be Governor of Oregon." He endeavored to cany his edict into execution, but failed. " T will spend a million of dollars rather Gthan have Kelly go to the Senate," he again asservated, but, neverthe less, Kelly went there and took the seat vacated bv Williams.the niiant Q" - 1 tool. There has been only one or ganization where this capitalist has ever had any potency, and that has been the Republican party. Wc now learn by private advices frym Portland, that his power has finally departed there, and that as a consequence, Ichabod will have to be written upon the walls of the Ducal palace. In the last State canvass, the capitalist had but to declare his will as to persons who should receive nominations in the Republican nominating con ventions in order to secure such selections Now, all this is eh ting ed. The Republicans of Multno mah county have resolved to dis pense with his arbitrary dictation. fhey have determined with an unanimity which cannot fail ol o success, to control their own nomi nations, ar,d tljey have already set the party machinery t) effectually in operation to secure that result, that the capitalist sees already that his power has departed. iiom what we learn, wc under stand that the capitalist aforesaid had determined not to allow any Corbctt men to be nominated tor the Legislature, probably for the reason that that gentleman could not be used so pliantly as WjUhpiis. lie also, had decreed that Sajn Par rish?ati aspirant for the Sheriffalty, should riQt be nominated. The friend, therefore, qf Corbctt and Parrish are united in their opera tions, and as they constitute more than nine-tenths of the Multnomah Republicans, they can only be beaten "in tlie primaries by such notorious corruption as will vitiate the nominations, alienate the sup port of the masses of the party and thereby utterly defeat at the polls the ticket so nominated. Tht only alternateive left, therefore, to this arrogant capitalist by the Re publicans of Multnomah, is either defeat at the primaries or defeat at the polls. They have determined to control their own nominations, and if they are beaten bv fraud, they will punish fraud with their ballots at the polls. Thus it will be seen that this arrogant aud self instituted dictator of Oregon poli tics has come to grief in the house of his friends. lie is in a dtlema and must of necessity bestride one of its horns. This situation to one who, like Jove, has heretofore dic tated tilings by a simple nod, must be most humilating, and no doubt in his impotent rage lie could truthfully exclaim with Mother Goose : Lord, Lord. see such :i boy as I. Here forced to eat ibis humble, pie, We have all along believed that this late woul sooner or later over take this arrogant dictator. Such late has ever been deservedly meted out to such inflated bombasts by the free people of Oregon. Per haps this fate has been somewhat accelerated by the coalition formed by the capitalist with an organ grinder, who has had the fortune ! to carrv defeat to anv and every party with which he has ever acted. At any rate, it has already over- taken him, for which all good citi- zens may well rejoice. Fair Warn in tr. Many of our readers are aware by what outrageous means the Radicals curried this county two years ago. The same kind of business will again be attempted, in fact it is known thai only by intimidation uuu mien?, ii-gewiei- wan a in e use t r ! ,.n.l it ...... v. ... l . f 1 money will the Radicals have the slightest show to carry the county. In order to protect the laborers in their rights ami guard the will of the people, the last Leg islature passed th following bill : An Act to prevent frauds in elections.

The BuUil'ui says that the Locks will be constructed out of the sub sidy given the Company and that they wiil have a balance on hand after the completion of the work of 100.00'b We hardly think so. The original contract lot. amounted to S210.0UU. besides the Company had to perform a portion of the work, which was estimated to cost ai least S7o.0!)0 more. This would be just SlOO.UOi) more than the subsidy given the Company realized them. They received State bonds to the sum of $200.0(10, but they were sold for $ls;.000. The con tractors failed at this figure, and the Com pany has been compelled to take the work off their Lands. It is now estimated that the work will cost at least UiO.liU:). and not one dollar less. The Company has expended up to the present time about $l0t) 000. and their expenses arc now about tfOOil per day. It is cal culated with the present, force that the Company will bit able to complete the work by the first of January. 1ST:.. Taking the cost from this estimite. and it wilt cost another SlfcU.tV.H), m ik'mg two hun dred and eighty thousand dollars. This does not include many of the outside ex penses attached to the works. It is t-hn-ply the cost of labor, cement, and powder. If the Company can complete the work for $3tKI.00v), it will take $113,000 ol their own funds, and not leave a balance of the Stale money of $100.00!) on hand ibit it is estimated by good and compe tent iilil.fiw thnf It 1.

There Ls ! no end to Radical hypocricy. "The iLock Swindle." The above three words constitute the entire stock and trade of the Radical press, and it would be hard to tell what these poor fellows liOt'L n .1 '.i.f w ! 1 wiuu 111 C V1UI1U iui lis ' I v C li l KJ write about had not the last Legis lature given the subsidy to the west side. They are in great agony over the 75,000 allowed the Canal and Lock Company over the 1. T. Company, and it is the burden of their song. They tell us that thev are ia favor of the great work, yet did not want the "e-chool fund robbed," and in the same breath they find any amount of fault with the Legislature because it did not give $125,000 to the P. T. Company out of the same fund. They exhibit great consistency in the matter. We are quoted by them as good Democratic authori ty for opposing the preference shown the Lock Company in this matter. We certainly ivcre oppos ed to giving the subsidy to the west side, even had it been the same as the P. T. Company pro posed to construct the works at, for the reason that we thought, and still think, it would have bene fitted our county more by having the works on the Oregon City side, and for this reason only. The dif ference of -s75,000 is nothing in the opinion of any one who will examine the circumstances and ad ditional cost of constructing the work on the west side. The work could have been done on this side for about two-thirds of what it will cost to do it on the west side, but would not be near as complete and durable. When it is finished on the west side, there will be no further trouble for the present gen eration in the matter. They could never have been constructed on , - - 1 t his side as securely ana permit nently as on the west side. Hut we have diverged from our purpose. The Radicals who are constantly howling about this tnat- ! ter claim it to have been exch.sive- 1 j ly a .Democrat ict measure, ! for the beneHt of Democrats i o v i fie or- ' let us see how this stands. initial owners of the franchise were: Mayor Goldsmith, Republican ; 1 .

So much for the charge of partizan favoritism. Xow we come to the matter as to how the bill w.as passed and bv whom. It i is a matter ol recort that without the aid ot the five Republican votes in the Legisla ture which voted at different times for the bill, it would never have become a law. The first amend ment offered by a Democrat, Mr. Carlile of Benton, was voted down by 21 for and 22 against, live Rad icals voting against it. The next amendment was voted down by a vote of 20 for and 23 against four Radicals voting against the pro posed amendment. The third amendment, a vital and important one, proposed by 3ir. Carlile, to insert "gross" instead of "net re ceipts," was voted down by a vote of 22 against 21), three Radicals voting against the proposed amend ment. Thus it will be seen that these live Radicals held the balance of power during the whole time of the consideration of the bill, and they were known to be cr:-d to cote j'or it ir,ctecer tlii' cotos ice re riot'uxd. These are facts well known to the Radicals at Salem at the time. This shows that if there has been a wrong committed, the Radicals are responsible for their share, and also, that Dave Thompson, Dr. Loryea and other Radicals got their peti tion of the ! " &7o, oOO swindle." The question J now is not who did this, as far as j we are concerned, but will the j work be completed. The extra j $75,000 is nothing when compared .!... t....,., , ! tu U1U UVUCLlls uv v"uuutl.v ,P i t if mo hn a n f .n 1 receive Irom it. and as lar as tne : . r .. 1 e ,t , 1 ... ::i . . . 1 . 1 4 ,.:si peo'tie lire cuuccuicu, w 111 l l 7 - i j cheerltilly acquiesce in the measure since the P.

Polk County Correspondence. Daixas, April 22d, 1872. Ewxoit ENrsRi'KisK : 1 h ive though; that a few items from oar enterprising town might be interesting to your many readers. District Court met here to day with numerous members of the bar in attendance, but the docket being light, its session will not be long. This shows a healthy Sentiment of morality for our county, and one that suits the tax-paying community very well. No word of fault can be heard against the excellent- man agement of our county finances. When the Democracy assumed control here, they found the county in debt, bii lgcs and roads out of repair and county orders Sfliin away down below pir, with a burdensome tax of 17 mills on the dollar. Now under Democratic rule, taxes are only 12. roads aud bridges in safe con dition, the county free from dibt, money tn our tteasury and county orders ca-hed on presentation. The Radicals recognize this unanswerable logic and they will be beaten more th in one hundred votes on the day of election. Pursuant to no' ice given by tbe Demo cratic Club ot this place. Hons. J.

TLe past few years of our political his tory, says the San Francisco Examiner Lave been marked by an increase of par tisan spirit which caused a disruption in the ranks of the Republican party. Thu great civilians who shaped its principles and who Lave been regarded by tLe peo ble as its founders are in revolt against the Administration they placed in pow er. Tbe st'engih of organization and the patronage of the Government are now wielded to insure the renomiDation of General Grant, and be has secured it to a moral certainly. The distinguished, men who, under the name of Liberal Re publicans, intend holding a Convention in Cincinnati to name a Presidential candi date and adopt a platform have broken olf their political relations with tLe Rad icals in favor of the Administration. Tho debates in the United Stales Senate bavo pi iced Iheir reasons for so doing beforo th people. They hare arraigned General Grant's Administration for its ursurpatlona of power for axtravagance, for nepotism, for abuses existing in tbe various depart ments, and for tbe impolicy of departing from the w holesome principle of one term lor the Presidential office. A bitter parti san warelan h.is been waged aguinst the leaders of the Liberal Republicans, but there are so few faults in their career thut they are almost unassailable by truthful aigumen'. A powerful press support! the Senators in their efforts for civil re form and bringing the Government back lo an economical administration. Sumner, ScLitrz, Fenton, Tipton and Trumbull, who would not yield their judgment on public affairs and obey mandates of the leaders ol tbe Administration wing, bavo beea read out of the party they did s. much to render popular. Sumner, who had been the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations for many years, was displaced from his responsible position because be could not endorse the flagrant us irpatiou of power on the part o! tho Prerident in attempting to annex San Domingo. TrnmbuiU .vas ostracised be causft. when Andrew Johnson was on tri al for impeachment, be nseil his powerful influence against the pe.-pel ration of wrong to S'ibserre political animositie. Both these sre.temen, when the time for iiuportfMit action arrived, exhibited by their conduct that they preferred the in terests of their country to securing parti san advantage by tbe commission of a wrong or even of deeds of doubtful le gality. The other Senators now in oppo sition to th Administration enjoy the r. -speed of tbo people for the stand they have taken on national affairs. The out cries of a subsidized press calling such men as Schurz. Feoton and Tipton sore heads, nnd trying to malign their m ti re, is such poor argument that, it is reading iu their favor sun.mg tbe masses. And thes9 minority Senators bare the most powerful organs in their favor. The Tribune and .S?.m. iu New York, daily rervl by a half mil Ion of readers, are io favor of the Cincinnati Convention, and several other able journals are on the same rode, proving that this movement has taken a strong hold oc the popular heart. The prejudices of the past few yearn 2-iin.st the Democratic party are rapidly dying out. The principles for which ft has ever contended will be adopted at Cincinnati by the Liberal Republicans. Time ha proved that the preservation of our form of government, as shaped bv i'.s founders, can only be preserved bv a re turn to Democratic doctrines. We havo gained a great moral victory when a great party divides on political issues and its intelligent leaders boldly adopt the prin ciples to wiia-ii we have adhered in storm arid sunshine. Our country has had its severe trials in the past, but we are men aced with a grea'o-r danger than any wo have yet confronted. It i. that inten.it party spirit is tending to gtve us a cen tralized form of froternment in which tho Chief Executive. V .verci-i ng doubtful powers by the subserviency of the parti sans surrounding him. will become as ab solute ;s a dictator. General Grant may, if elected another term, attempt to acquire San Domingo or other territory with as iiitle regard to thi wishes of Congress as he did before tho expedition under Ren Wade which prov ed a failure. He may again have an op portunity to put on the Supreme Bench justices whoso opinions are as agreeable to him. although not to the people, as were those of Strong and Bradly. and thus by Presidential action insure judicial decisions according to bis own view; or he may keep in the revenue depart ments young officers tor whom be has a personal attachment although they prac tice extortion on the commerce of our great seaports. In the election of LSf;3 a a slight variation in the vote of a few Slates would have caused bis defeat. In lST'i it can be accomnlished. and in our opinion by makin; nomination. a regular Democratic -Bi STKi)." The Radicals are busted" in Marion county and gone to piece.

Mr st Gkt rr Okk.

A Democrat, tv shrewd politician, took John Burnett aside at Oregon City, tho next morning alter his discussion there,, and advised that, for his own sake, he oti-ht to do one of two things : Ruber break off the present arrangement for joint discussion and go it alone, or retire from the canvass altogether and go home. The above little information is from tho Salem Statesman, and, we believe, is the muSt comp!eto falsehood so far told by - Radical paper. Wc dare the States, iU! ?nia to the proof of its assertion.
