OKFI-JIAL TAJ'S!! OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY.
OrDjoa City, Oregon ,
Friday
: : : July 19, 1872.
FOIl PRIIDEXT,
t AGE GREELEY,
OF NEW YORK.
For Vice President,
B. PRATZ BROWN;
o" inssocm.
Presidential "Electors,
GEO. It. IIKI.IH, of Linn County.
X. II. GATES, of Wasco County.
I. V. LAVE, of Douk'.vs County.
The Plain Is-aic.
The nomination of Horace Gree
ley by the Baltimore Democratic
Convention has, for the present
canvass, retired all political ques
tions of lesser import, such as
.questions of tariff and fmance,and
lias brought forward as the only
issue now before the country the
stability and permanancy of Re
publican institutions. Four years
ago a man was put into the
Presidential chair who has devel
cpedjinto a iirst-chisa military ty
rant, lie has demanded, and a ser
vile Congress Ikis granted him
nowers to hold free Stales in mili-
A.
tary subjection, and surrounded
the ballot-box oi'a free people with
the minions of the Administrations
and the bayonets of the Federal
army. This power gran led to him,
lias been unscrupulous!" used to
perpetuate his domination. Added,
also, to the military force which
Grant has used lor his persona!
benelit, the Treasury ot the Feder
al Government has been robbed for
party purposes. Money collected
from the people has been Melied
from the Treasury and placed in
hands of Grant's tools, and has
been scattered among the people j
to bribe their suffrage and corrupt
.and control elections. Attorney
General "Williams brought some of
it, at the last election, into this
State, as the circulation of countless
pieces of coin fresh from the mint,
immediately following the election,
well attests. e
Such being the tyranny ami cor
ruption of the Grant Administra
tion, Liberal Republicans and Dem
Gocrats, have wisely concluded that
the lirst and great thing to be at
tended to, was the removal of the
tyrant and corruptionist from the
Executive office. And this is the
right policy. It is idle to talk of
voting on questions of tariff, while
votes are swayed by the bayonet,
or of getting a fair expression ot
the people on finance, so long as
the tools of the President use the
money ot the Treasurv to corrupt
elections. The great question be
fore the people is, the removal of
the tyrant now ruling at Washing
ton. The people understand this,
and hence are rallymging under
the standard of Greeley by myriad,
without reference to previous polit
ical predilections, for the perpetua
tion of the Government. This is
now the only issue.
We hear of large numbers oi
Republicans in this county who
propose to vote for Horace Greeley
and Gratz Brown. The tide of re- I
tiintl i; Kottinnr m iml wo livr-iliot
CD ") " I" '
that Oregon will roil up a large !
majority for the people. A perfect !
revolution in political circles is I
i
taking place in the East, and the j
peeqde are octet mmcd to try a
change. Let Oregon cast her vote
on the side of reform ami honesty.
The Radicals are in hopes that
the Democracy would have anoth
er Convention and bring out an
other ticket. The wish is farther
of the thought. It is a fair light
lietween the two tickets now in the
lield, an el the Radicals will find the
people on the side of truth, hones
ty 5nel justice, and against corrup
tion and gift-taking in high places.

The Oregon ia?i calls our atten
tion to the fact that Hoi-ace Greeley
once favored the passage of laws ;
placing the South virtually under
military subjection. If we concecd
the fact, we are compelled, in jus
tice, that such support, if ever given,
was the result of false impressions,
and we point, as an honor to the
heart of the old farmer, to the fact j
that after he had travelled through j
i
the South and saw the true state of i
affairs, he was unsparing in his
condemnation of such a course.
e respectfully ask the Oregonian j
if these facts do not rellect credit
on the old farmer of Chappaqua?
And, in this connection, we want
to remind the Oregonian, that there
was once another man who once
visited the South since the war,
in order to ascertain its condition.
j This man was U. S. Grant, and he
reported to President Johnson, in
December, 1805, that "there is
such universal acquiescence in the
General Government throughout
the portions of the country visited
by me (Virginia, Xorth Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia,) that
the mere presence of a military
force, ir it tout regard to number is
suaicient to maintain order," and
that " the good of the country re-
. , , , , . . , .
omres t nnr 1 !w Tnrco t-cnt. in t in m. !
, ., ..
terior where there are many freed
men, stoidd oil be vhile troojts"
for good reasons which he cogently
urged. Now, after learning these
facts and expressing these broad
assertions what sort of an oninion
must be formed ot Grant, who has
since demanded plenty of troops,
and black cues at that, in that very
portion of the South for the mere
purpose of instigating trouble, that
he might reap personal benelit
therefrom. We respectfully ask
the Oregoidajt if those facts do
not rellect discredit on the tyrant
of the White House?

and Radicals at the latent elections
held in the several States. It will
be seen that a very slight change
in the vote will elect the Demo
cratic nominees. These figures are
significant and show a pretty ood
strength in themselves against the
onicc-ho!ders ticket. The Democ
racy alone would have been a
power too strong for Grant, and
united with all lovers of their I
country a most triumphant victory j
will be won against corruption,

Elsewhere we publish, this week,
the vote cast at the last general
elections throughout the various
States in the Union. From these
figures it is pretty safe to calculate
the result of the election this fall.
Those States that gave a Demo

next November, besides a number
which are close, will give the Lib-
cral ticket their electoral vote. The

by the Radicals because the Dem

corruption) 35 ; total, certain for
Greeley and Brown, 59. Taking
these iigures from Grant, and he
will have 173; and adding them
to Gree!e's column, and he will

as to these iigures. Besides, we

take the Iigures of the last elections
held, and we believe there is a
stronger feeling in the land against
the corrupt administration in pow
er than there has ever been before,
and hundreds of thousands through
out the land who have heretofore
supported the Administration, will
cast their votes for the Liberal
ticket this fall. We have given
the figures so that every reader
can make his own calculation from
them. The pro-peels for a com

flattering, and we have no doubt
but what Mr. Greeley will be elect

3Iany thoughtful, conscientious
and patriotic men, says the New
York are now deliberately
considering- wliether they shall 5tii -port
Horace Greeley or contribute
by their votes to insure the re elec
tion of U. S. Grant. Let us there
fore contrast the relative qualities
ami merits of the two candielates :
Greeley is a Republican, and has
always been such; but the ohl
controversies having been disposed
of, he is in perfect agreement with
the Democratic party upon all liv
ing and essential issues of the pres
ent elay.
Grant is an old pro-slavery Dem
ocrat, who turned Republican
when nominated for President by
that part-. He is stolidly hostile
to all the present principles and
objecta.of the Democratic party.
Greeley believes in universal
amnesty and real peace, and in
equal rights to all members, sec
tions,and parts of the Union.
Grant believes in keeping the
South under the heel of the mili
tary, and controlling the Southern
elections by the bayonet.
Greeley has only two brothers
in law and no eo'isins, and does not
think the President ha a right to
ue his patronage as the private
property of his family.
Grant has countless brothers-in-law
and other relations, and has
appointed to oilice- all that he could
lind, regardless "of their lituess.
Greeley believes in the one-term
rule.
Grant holds that he should be re
elected indefinitely.
(Tree-ley desires the reform of the
civil services, so that the ol;ice
holdeis of th country cannot he
employed as machines to secure
the- re-election of a corrupt anel in
competent Executive.
Grant emnloys the
enormous
army of his oflicial
dependents to
pack rem vent ions ami dictate local
nominations in favor of his own re
election, thus connoting and ele-
1
oraving ine peojue.
. 1
. . 1 ,
Greek-y
maintains that, the mili
tary should be entirely subordinate
to the' civil authority, and tli.it the
President has no right to emoloy
Generals as Secretaries.
Grant ke-eps a military court at
the White I louse e-ont rary to hv.v,
employing one General as his uhe-r,
ami two uthers as his secretaries.
Greeley holds that the President j
and all other executive oHics . rs
should it: all cases respect and obey t

(Tree-ley is an honest man, and
his election will brintr hih-toued

Kepublic a new lease of life.
Grant's election will hurry the
nation unon tlie downward road
toward universal corruption and
the final destruction of the liepub
1c. Each of these pictures wili, we
think, be recouizetl as fair and
just. The two men are such .as we.
have ( escribed them. Let the peo
ple examine them well and see
which they will have. If they de
sire to continue Grant and his
camp followers in power, let them
do so intelligently, and because
they like his irincii'!es and practi
cies. And if they approve Horace
Greeley and principles, policy, and
svstem of government which he
represents,t!iey will know how to j
say oy their votes on the Ui ol
J November neatt.
The National Quarterly Ilcvkic, edited
by Edward I. Sears. G5, Bible House.
Nesv York, strongly advocated the elec
tion of Grant in 18C8; but now, in a
lengthy political article, it says, among
other l Lings, that it opposes Grants re
lection: Because if he were even a
honest and free from seih-hness as the
great Washington hi nisei !', we should coti
Mder his iuielligeucejoo limited, his ad

candid person, not banded liv partisan
prejudice, or .some other selliih tee-ling,

this. hat the President must give up

Grant has had a hard time.
In Illinois, which has generally been
concedeil to the Administration parly, a
very favorable charge is apparent in po
litical sentiment. The recent State Coti

It may tie thai 1 snonia reply in writing
but as I have addressed a letter, which
has been pretty widely considered, to th

not be necessary. I can only say now
that I ac.ept your nomination in thegim,,
spirit in which it is offered. Cheers
I am at present in a position which nianv

which is to me an embarrassing one. be
cause it involves the temporary, and I
trust but ihe temporary annoyance of a
misconstruction f my motives on tho

I am confident that lime alone is necessary
lo vindicate my motives to all and to con
vince all. indeed of the patriotism of tha
course I am pursuing and intended to
pursue long before I was assured of so
much co operation and any sympathy.
Cheers The time will come. I hope, iu
good opportunity, when the world will
see that you art; no less Democrats bf
cause you have pursued the course you
have, and that I am no less a Uepublieau
becaue I accept your nomination
Cheers.

continued.

Renewed Laughter. I can say that I

A Wad 3 u stance of 3 Jan's Pcpravity.
Several jears ago there lived within
a few miles of McMinnviile a farmer
with his wife and a large family of etdl
dren. and in addition to this a brother
boarded wi'h him tor some years. That
brother had a wife and child in the Allan
tic Stales, but regardless ot his duly to
them, of his honor or that of those whom
fie .should have been ready to defend at
his own risk, the heartless wretch seduced
and eloped with bis. neice. his brother's
daughter, a girl of about fifteen years.
AH trace of the fugitives was lost, but it
has subsequently ti .inspired that they
went to Douglas county and there lived
in open shame until public yentimenl be
came too warm for fhem, when they mov
ed to Goose Lake. The same couise was
pursued there with a like result, followed
by a flight to California. After some
ears the girl came home. leaving her two
children with their father. She lived some
lime at her parents home but not geidng
on very well has since then been working'
in different parta of the county. Last
week the paramour came here. Putting
up at the hotel he left the two children
and repaired to h'.s bro h -r's (arm. Here
he left word that the children were at ihe
hotel, and if nay one wanted thrm. they
audi 'jo (aid yet Vicm! Before an thing
could be done he bad disappeared, and
the sorrowing grandpareVs have taken
charge of the two little unfortunates, worse
off with both parents living than if they
were orphans indeed- Next day a war
rant was issued and placed in tlie hands
of officer Brown, who used every effort to
C loture the. offender, but failed as he got
h. false cine and went to Albany, before
tfie mistake wis discovered. However, if
such a creature can escape punishment,
it simply shows that iusttce can't be done
