Timely Warning.
Dr. J. A. Chapman, Chairman
of the Democratic State Central
Committee has issued the follow

Oregon :

- The Democratic judges of election every

and closely examine and inspect all new
comers and strangers presenting them
selves to vole, taking note of the name

To the Voters of Clackamas County !
The Uatlical cantlulatos for the
various county offices have inade
tlicir appointments to "speak" to
the people of this county at the
various scliool houses and churches
in the county. This is in accord
ance with a practice winch has
sprung into existence by a set of
professional office hunters, and who
seldom have anything else to do.
They go around with the professed
purpose to "address" the people,
when they are really engaged in
the humiliating and disgusting
practice of begging votes. The
idea of such a set of men as com
pose the Kadtcal ticket of this
county presuming that they have
the talent necessary to inform or
learn the masses anything which
they do not know, is simply sup
posing that the people are a set of
asses, and that they are their mas
ters. It is not safe to entrust the
people's affairs in men's hands who
are professional office-seekers, and
such are all who have no settled
occupation.
The Democracy, while they
have as good, and probably better
speakers on their ticket, as far as
this county is concerned, were
willing to let the people select their
own servants as between the two
tickets, but the Radicals, having
nothing else to do, propose to
spend two or three weeks boring
the voters and try to coax: them to
their support. "Whether there will
be any Democratic candidate can
vass with these wise Solomons or
not, we are at present unable to
say. There will be some one to
watch them. But the majority of
the candidates on the Democratic
ticket are men of industrous habits,
employed in gaining a legitimate
living, and if they are elected, they
will be able to discharge their res
pective duties in a practical and
economical way, not having to
plunder the people for lost time
and money wasded in traveling
over the county asking for their
votes. The liadiculs have traveled
over this county before, and the
people ought to know that
whatever they may say is for the
purpose of duping them into vot
ing their ticket. Ami they have
violated every pledge made before
the election as soon as they got
into office, and to-day, Clackamas
county stands as a monument of
the maladministration.
There was a general disposition
on the part of a mnjority of both
tickets to allow the people to select
their svrvnnts this year without
this useless expense anl waste of
time, but a couple of candidates on
the liadical ticket Messrs. Paquet
and Bavrin have forced others to
go out with them. These two loy
al chaps, ready to serve the people
one at $3 per day for forty days,
and the other for all he can make
out of the office, have nothing else
to do, and have been laying around
in the first place to secure their
nominations; and now to be elect
ed, .and when they are (which nev
er will be) will make the people
pay for the time they have spent
and that with interest. Mr. Paquet
has done hardly anything else for
the past two years but intrigue for
his nomination, and we ak the
people of this county what can
they expect of him if he is elected ?
Wilt he not make them pay for
the time he has thus spent ? How
different with his opponent, who is
to-day working like an honest man
to gain a living for himself and
those dependent upon his labor.
Which in best calculated to do
justice to the the people if elected?
Certaintainly not the one who has
spent his time in hunting t he office.
This is the- case with the others.
While the Radical candidate for
Sheriff has been all over the coun
ty coaxing people to vote for him
and fabricating falsehoods, (such
as none but a political preacher
can), his opponent has been at
home attending to his sick family
and his legitimate business.
The Representatives on the
Democratic ticket are all, with the
exception of the Senator, farmers,
who are willing to serve the peo
ple in that capacity honestly and
voters of this county know how to
votc witbont beinS instructed by
such tallcnt as composes the Radi
cal ticket, and the only may we
can account for their impudence in
presuming that they are able to
learn the people anything is, that
they regard, them as a set of fools,
.
subject to being gulled into any
thing a set of pot-house politicians
may tell them. "We have a higher
opinion of the intelligence of the
people, and believe that they will,
on the 3rd of June, tell these self
constituted instructors that thty
have no use for them in office, and
will elect men as show by their in
dustry and integrity lo be most
worthy of their confidence and
trust.
How Greeley Takes.
We find the following views of
Mr. Voorhees, in the telegraph dis
patches, as expressed in Congress
on the Pith inst. They will meet
the hearty endorsement of every
Democrat :
Alter the expiration of the morning
hour, Voorhees rose to apersonal explana
tion in regard to a newspaper paragraph,
stating that he did not know w hether to
support Greeley or not. He declared he
did not halt or hesitate in the matter.
Whoever believed in Greeley's high pro
tective tariff principles might support him.
he would not. lie proceeded to review
Greeley's political history, criticizing in
bitter language the stand taken by him
during tin; war. urging its prosecution by
Lincoln, his advocacy ol confiscation and
other extreme measures towards the
South, and at a comparatively recent date,
of Ku Klux. He also cited Greeley's ad
vocacy of a law to place the election:! in
the State of New Vot k under Federal
control, and iu contingencies, under mili
tary control. Such a man was not tit to re
ceive his vote for President. He said
that Greeley urged the South to rebellion,
and then howled like a wild beast lor
blood. He declared that Grint had
done more for the South than Greeley
ever had arid cited the rescue of Generals
Lee and Johnston from arrest as pro
posed by Johnson and Stanton, as a case
in point.
Roseville suggested that Voorhees had
recently been in conference with Grant.
Voorhees said that he had not been at
the White House for three years, and
sneh a statement, was calumny. It had
been so reported several mouths ago.
Will Explain. 3tr. Holladay's
boss carpenter, the Radical candi
date for State Senator, we are in
formed, proposes to go around the
county to learn the people what
they don't know. We presume lie
proposes to tell them what great
good he did for his people while
he was a member of the Washing
ton Territory Legislature, and also
what he will do for that people if
he is elected to the Senate from
this county. Ik ing that he is only
a carpet-bagger here, and has no
other interests to subserve but to
obey the dictates and commands
of his employer, we apprehend the
people of Clackamas county will
vote to allow him to stay at home
and attend to the repairing of
steamboats for ATr. IloIIaday in
stead of taking him away from
"his work where he gets -sf 50 per
day and only give him ;Z to go to
Salem. lie can serve his employer
better at home, and the Interests
of the county will be better repre
sented by a man who is identified
with the prosperity of this county,
and not owned by the Railroad
Kimr.
Lord BanTn, the great four
eyed American statesman who has
a "very tender feeling" for matters
and things, is out on the stump
getting off that speech he was so
pfegnate with. It is to be hoped
that lie feels better. It has been a
terrible burden to him, for the
past year, as it is that length of
time since he commenced to think
the people of thi county were
bound to require his great services
in the halls of the Legislature. He
may think so, but the voters will
tell him that he had better not
trust himself so far from home
without fcthe care of a "tender"
protector. lie will look under
those ornaments he wears on his
nose after the election instead of
over them, as ho now does. His
imaginations and ideas will have a
downward tendanoy, instead of
upwards. Such as him the people
can dispense with, and not be the
losers bv it.
The Ticket. Air. IloIIaday has
presented the following ticket to
he ratified on the yd of June by
the voters and tax-payers of Alult
nomah county : State Senator J.
X. Dolph ; Representatives J. D.
Biles, (Secretary of his Steamboat
Company), J. B. Congle, S. Ilirsch
and J. F. Caples ; Sheriff J. AI.
Cay wood ; Clerk W. II. Harris;
Assessor John Dolan ; Commis
sioners S. J. AlcCormiek ami C.
S. Silvers ; Treasurer Wm. Alas
ters ; School Superintendent T.
L. Eliot ; Coroner T. J. Dyer ;
Surveyor C. W. Barrage.
Judge AEeFadden was nominated
by the Democracy of AVashington
Territory for Congress. Xo better
selection could have been made,
and he will beat the "silvery toned
j orator."
Gibbs on the Stump.
AVe feoiiee posters up for Gov.
Gibbs to speak. We presume he
is taking this opportunity to tell
the people hov he was treated by
an "honest" Radical Legislature
when he was defeated for the U".
S. Senate ; and it will be in order,
while he is howling about the cor
ruption of the Democracy, to tell
his hearers what it cost the State
for mush-paddle parades and
sinches while he was Commander-in-Chief
of the Oregon malitia;
and there is a vaue impression in
the minds of the people that a "se
cret service fund" of $15,000 was
given him to use during his admin
istration, which there has been no
account made of. He will un
doubtedly tell why he did not ac
quire the title to the school and
other lands which belong to the
State, while he was Governor.
It will take all the time this ex
Radical Governor can "expect an
audience to listen to him, to explain
his shortcomings as such officer.
We thought after the treatment he
received at the hands of his party
that he would at least cease to do
the dirty work, but we find that
the appointment of Lr. S. Prosecut
ing Attorney has healed up the
wound, and he is maw prepared to
do any amount of dirty slinging
against the Democracy required of
him. It takes very little to heal
some men's wounded feelings.
This is the case with our friend,
Gov. Gibbs.
Will they Tell. We suppose
the object the Radical candidates
have in going about the county to
"inform" the people, is to tell them
how they have managed the county
.affairs so well as to bring county
orders down to ninety cents this
year. Like two years ago, we
presume they will be fortified
with statements showing a most
economical and laudible adminis
tration of affairs and be ready to
prove anything that the people
may desire to be humbugged with.
They are re-lie-lde chaps when
they are hunting after votts, and
we hope our readers will take what
they
;as' with due allowance.
Some of these fellows humbugged
the people of this county two
years ago and we hope they have
their eyes open by this time.
At this writ in r, Peter, the great
statesman from Caneinah precinct,
is enlightening the people of this
county with his brilliant intellect.
The lirst place selected by him to
unbosom his patriotism to catch a
vote to place him in office, was
Butte Creek. We sympathise
with the dear people of that sec
tion. They are undoubtedly now
prepared to vote understanding!,
and we are charitable enough to
think they will all conclude that
he is better fitted to chop cord
wood than he is to take care of the
records of the count', Peter has
been waiting two years with his
speech, and we have no doubt he
feels eonsiderabl v relieved since he
mi
got it off, and we know the people
who were bored by him yesterday
also feel relieved.
Tkauixo. AVe are informed
that the Radical candidates for
office arc playing caeh other.
Each individual is working for
himself, and is ready to agree to
swap off for ether candidates. We
counsel Democrats not to take the
bait. A"ote your whole ticket, and
let the Radicals alone. They have
no hope of electing a single man
on their ticket, and hope to get
enough "swaps" to get in on.
Spurn all such dishonest and cow
ardly propositions.
Foul Play. Two weeks ago
last Tuesday, we mailed at this
place a lot of posters to Forest
Grove, addressed to a prominent
gentleman of that place, and on
last Friday, nearly two weeks, the
posters had not reached their des
ignation. Probably some loyal
postmaster "nipped" them and put
them out of the way. It is a dirty
trick, whoever did it.
By private letter, we learn that
Hon. J. H. Slater will arrive at Le
Grande alxout the 21st inst. Ho
will probably canvass a portion of
the State before the election. Air,
Slater's abilities will be a tower of
strength to the party, and we hope
he will speak at a number
of the most prominent points in
the State.
The two great American orators
and statesman Peter Paquet and
Lord Barrin. They both belong
to the Radical party and live in
Clackamas county. Strange the
world has this long gone around
and these great lights of inteb
lect never been heard of.
Speech of Hon. Geo. 11. Helm.
Hon. LL Geo. Helm, addressed a
large audience in this city last
Thursday evening. He gave a
complete and truthful history of
the various corrupt and dishonest
acts of the Radical party while
they were in power in this State,
and showed conclusively that the
cry set up by the Radicals against
the Democracy is only a dodge to
hide their own infamy. He stated
that the Radical charge that the
last Legislature increased the sala
ry of State officers was false, and
there was no truth in it. The
Legislature did create the office of
Assistant Treasurer and provided
his compensation, and also gave
additional assistance to the Secre
tary of State, and provided for his
salary, but the salary of those offi
cers remains the same. While our
Radical friends howl so much
about the unlawful increase of
salaries, he said that while Judge
Boise and Judge Wilson both
were on the Supreme Bench, they
had stated that their salaries
could be legally increased, ami
they did all in their power to
have a bill pass, which would in
crease their salaries. This shows
the consistency of these mounta
banks and pettifogers. They were
very anxious to have their salaries
raised, and had the Democracy
done so, it would have been highly
proper, and while they were on the
Supreme Bench, they would have
held the law constitutional. He
showed plainly where the most
barefaced robbery had been com
mitted tinder Woods' administra
tion, and also charged the Radi
cals with hiring a man to watch
the State Treasury while the funds
of the State were deposited in
Portland. For watching an empty
safe, a bill was presented for 800,
which the Investigating Committee
very properly rejected, along with
Woods' $800 carriage hire, and
private book-case account. His
speech was interesting throughout ,
and listened to with marked atten
tion by the large crowd present.
We have not space to give any
thing like a fair synopsis of it. It
was one of the ablest speeches de
livered in this city during the cam
paign, and Air. Helm acquitted
himself with credit and honor to
the parly. lie was dignified, log
ical and convincing. Air. Helm is
doing good work for the noble
cause. Let there be crowded
houses wherever he speaks during
the campaign.
Ivlt'cfioa Liitvs.
In order that the Judges of elec
tion mnv understand their duty,
we publish the following bearing
on the qualifications of a legal
voter. The provision of the Con-
stitutioa to which this
re
fers
is.
that he shall
he a citi.en of the
United States and State of Oregon,
and havo resided in the State six
months previous to the election.
The lirst section is as follow :
Section 1. AM persons qualified lo
vote by the Constitution of too State ol
Oregon, in Article II. shall be entitled to
vote at all elections in this State ; I'ro
vi'ht, That all persons, including those
navigating the high seas, or the rivers of
Oregon, soldiers in the service of this
State. r the t'nited Stales, ami students
at tending seminaries of learning, and la
borers on railroads and public woircs.
shall vote bj the county an I precinct
wher they have a bona file residence of
ninety days" duration.
It will be seen that a man must
have a hono fide residence else-
where,or ifhe is working on public
works and has no bonojhle residence
elsewhere, he is entitled to vote in
the count v where he has resided
ninety days prior to the election.
This is easily to be understood by
the Judges, and we hope they will
strictly enforce its provisions. The
oath to be taken by a voter is as
follows :
You do solemnly swear (or aflirm. as
the case may be), "that you are twenty
one years or age ; that you are a citizen
of the United States, (or that you have
declared your intention to become a ci'i
zen conformable to the laws of the United
States) and of tl instate, on the subject
of naturalization ; that yon reside in tins
precinct, and that you have resided six
months in this Statu and ninety days in
the county next preceeding the ejection,
ami that you have not voted at this elec
tion." We hope our Democratic friends
will see that this oath is adminis
tered, to every one attempting to
vote who is not known to be a
legal voter. Let the polls be
watched all day, especially
along the railroad. A word to the
wise is sufficient. Our success on
ly depends en our vigilance on the
day of election. Let Democrats,
therefore, be on the alert from the
time the polls are opened until
closed. Alaxk dawn, the, narqe of
every voter who votes that is not
entitled to do
Ben Hayden will canvass south
ern Oregon. Air. Ilayden is one
of our best speakers and he will
do good work for the cause.
Our Special Washington Letter-
Washington-, April, 27th, 1872.
Editoh Extkprisk : The principal ex
citement here is over the Cincinnati Con
vention and what will be done there. It
is believed that en its action will tiang
the event of Ih coming Presidential con
test. Already some Senators and Repre
sentatives are leaving the city. It is
stated that August Belmont. Chairman o!
the Democratic National Convention and
Montgomery Blair were in Cincinnati al
ready and had been there for the past
week. They will" not be delegates, but it
is presumed have been invited to a con
ference. They are there on their indi
vidual responsibility, and it is well known
they have no authority to pledge the
Democracy. They may suggest what can
didates if nominated might be acceptable
to the Democrats. The Convention is
important, and the assemblage will show
that theie U a large and extensive defec
tion from the number of Grant's support
ers, much larger than any one dreamed of,
when the Liberal movement was inaugu
rated. Before this letter reaches Oregon
City, you will have had the result of thu'
deliberations of this Convention, which
his given .so niut-h annoyance to the
o'Jiceholders.
To day your Representative. Hon. J. II.
Slater, addressed the House on the ques
tion of tiie tariff. The effort displayed
much thought and no ordinary ability.
The people of Oregon will be well please, 1
with this effort, and proud of a Represen
tative who can cope wLb the ablest in
discussions on the lloor of the National
House of Representatives. The speech
was highly commended, and gives the
gentleman a place in that body as a care
ful and thoughtful debater, who under
stands what are the tieces.-ities and the
demands of the people. It will be pub
lished in pamphlet form and distributed
through your State ami elsewhere, and a
careful perusal of the speech will repay
all who shall be sj fortunate as to secure
a copy. It is to be hoped thi pres. of
Oiegou will give copious extracts from it.
