look on tuis t lection with a degree
of ir. IrlV:v.'n-r, us upon its results

that then is bat a representative to
elect this time', but whichever party
eh rts th" I!epj-i tentative, will in all
probability ek-t the State ticket and
the 1 agi.-lalure next Spring. It
therefore becomes a very important
m.tf.t-.-r t the Democracy of Oregon
-ure of success this fall, and
mu tUe enemy of the pres-
thus di
i-vju of victory in the campaign next
Spring.
That our success is not only likely,
but alnio.st assured, provided the
JIV invention ynes the people the
proper nomin: r,is but little doubted;
but our d feat is euuallv sure with a
man in whom the people have no con-
Helenee and who can not get their

It, therefore, be-
c-iue, the Convention to weigh care
fully f f.c f-tivngfiiand claims of every
a-pirunt, and p?ace in nomination the

The platiorm should be positively
Democratic in all its parts. We do
not want a lo;.;g 1'st of words by
whieh to decviive the peojdc, but
plabi, and emphatic utterances on
the pi-e.ft-.t issues, r.ist issues have
not hi::,1 to do vjth the present or fu
ture. The i'Ia;.i'orm should lie em-
jjhii:c
in its condemnation of the
ncMi-.-s iiud wanton extravagance
of t heOAd lainist i-at ion ; a eondetuna-ti-iu
of the act of Congress and sanc
tioned by the Tresideut, of what is
known as the 'Tiack Salary Steal;"
a positive opposition to all monopo
lies by w hich our people have been
robbed of their hard earnings and by
whjeh they have been deprived of
their 1. in. led domain; opposition to
the further importation of "Chinese
heathens," and in favor of the nbro

of the j-resent i-Mies for the fall elec

Will Experience Teach Us Nothing t
If a party will not learn by past
experiences and be guarded in the
future against making similar mis-
takes which brought ruin and defeat
upon them in the past, they must be
regarded as fools. For the past two
Presidential elections the Democracy
cause they were not men who had
any right to claim their support,
never having been Democrats. There
can hardlv be anv doubt that if the
i x:...i fv,.m,tHm la.l i.nT.. -
" - I
nated a straight Democrat, but that
he would have received a much larg- I
er vote than did Horace Greek-v. j
Oregon was lost bv an overwhelming j
majority becuse Democrats did not j
vt.. fr l.im. Thev would not vote
for a man who had not the lirst priu
ciple of Democracy in his composi
tion. In this they were correct.
While we supported him we did so
under solemn protest, simply on the
ground of party obligation and alle
giance to the Convention. On no
other ground. The masses were not
in this condition, and they refused
to vote at all. He did not get any
former llepubliean vote that would
11UL nae neen iitn iu anv Oilier
j. .. i ..: i .i
iaets snouia oe a warning 10 me ue
mocracy in the future. There is an
ellbrt being made in certain quarters
to nominate a man whose record as a
Democrat is anything but acceptable
to a large majority of the party. It
is true for the past four years he has
done good service. We are willing
to give him credit for it ; but are not
willing to place him at the head of
the party. He should commence
lower down and work his way up.
If the Convention should nominate
a man who has a good record as a
Democrat, every Democrat in the
State will vote for him, and it will
have a great tendency to close up the
broken ranks of last fall. That elec
tion had the effect of loosening party
ties, and should a man who has not a
clear record as a partisan be placed
in nomination, he will not effect a
a consolidation of the broken ranks.
Nothing but a true and tried Demo
crat can accomplish this. Let us
carefully consider these facts as they
are, and not show to the world that
we cannot profit by past experience.
Let us not be Greeleyized again in
Oregon.
Fbom Yamhill. By private letter
from McOlinnvillc, we learn that the
farmers are all busy harvesting, and
that it w ill be hard to get out any
thing like a general attendance at
the primaries. The writer says that
'"there is but little talk in his section
in regard to the probable nominee,
but that Yamhill will do her duty
f-jr whoever he may lie, if he is a re
liable Democrat and honest man.
The people of this county want the
Hon. Jas. II. Slater, but will willing
ly submit to the action of the -convention.
Ho is the choice of the
largest portion of the Democrats of
Yamhill."
No Opinion. The St. Louis Time
says Grant never favored, the increas

say that the subject was one upon
which the President could have no
opinion of his own with propriety?

The Democratic Press.
The general expression of the Dem
ocratic press of Oregon is, that a
thorough and tried Democrat should
be nominated by the coming State
Convention. None of them have the
least inclination to see anything but
a true party man nominated, one who
can and has ever maintained the con
fidence of the party. "With such a
candidate, they think success is
sure; with any other they regard
our chances as doubtful in the ex
treme, and as one of them expresses
it, "we shall be busted." Let the
Convention but act on these gener
ally expressed views of the party or
gans and they are the wishes and
desires of the Democratic voters

wise, we shall meet with that defeat
that has ever awaited us when Con-.

"

Pl-ie
who can rally every Democratic vote
to his support, and one for whom
the masses will he artily work. With
out a united effort on the part of the
people, we shall be defeated. Eery
voter must do his duty, and with a
proper nominee, they will. There
never was a better opportunity for
success; yet an injudicious nomina
tion on the part of the Convention,
will completely blast this promising
and certain triumph. Let us have
an honest and tried Democrat, one
i who has always been such, and our
victory is sure this fall, and in oi.r
general election next Spring success
will perch upon the Democratic ban
n -r. This is no time for foolishness.
We must act as becomes honest and
rational men if we would Lave suc
cess, and in no other w ay do we de
serve it.
A Circat Instate.
There are many remarkable instan
ces in this country, says the San
Francisco Examiner, of the rapid
ris of great fortunes from Mn.ill be
ginnings. We do not refer to the
gains of speculation, the lncky turns
in the stock market, but to the accu
mulation of wealth, coming from the
exercise of virtuous human qualities,
thrift, prudence, energy, foresight,
and honest and sedulous attention
to the busineess of one's legitimate
vocation. Such means as have ena
bled the Asters and Stewarts to rank
among the richest men of the world.
We have seen it stated that the estate
of William B. Astor, of New York,
is worth the almost incalculable
sum of two hundred millions of dol
lars. When John Jacob Astor, the
father of William B., died in 1S.J5, his
estate, was appraised at about twenty -rive
millions of dollars. If in less
than fortv vears it has multiplied
eight-fold, what will it be half a cen
tury hence, if it is managed with the
sa:ne talent and ability? It will ex
ceed the fabulous wealth of the Hot )is
childs. The father of William B.
Astor came to this country just after
the American Revolution from Ger
many. He was so poor that he had
to " sell himself," as it was called, to
get money to pay his passage over.
In less than a century he and his son
have collected together this extra
ordinary amount of property. Astoi
obtained his first considerable start
i i the fur trade, at the mouth of the
Columbia river, in Oregon. He es
tablished the settlement of Astoria.
It is said that his agents in the pur
chase of furs iroin the Indians assur
ed the savages that one of their ieet
weighed just a pound, and that the
natives would pile on the beavers
until the scaie descended. He was
a close, avaricious man, who did little
for piivate chanty, lixing up his
property in such a manner that it
coiiid iie kept together by his son
and successor. In this respect he
differed from his wealthy rival, Steph
en Girard, of Philadelphia, who pos
sessed nearly the same amount oi
fortune, and gave a largo portion oi
it away in private charity, which was
shamefully misapplied, particularly
for the orphan asylum in Philadel
phia. It is worthy of note that those
who have acquired the greatest for
tunes in the United States have been
men oi foreign birth, such as Astor
the German, Girard the Frenchman,
and Stew aid th j Irishman. The As-
tars own over six hundred dwellings,
and if it w ere possible that the estate
suould continue to go on in that wav
ier several generations it would even
tually embrace a large portion of
.New York, whoso citizens would live
and do business by their permission.
Luckily, under the will of old John
Jacob, the trst expires with the
third generation; that is, with Win.
B. Astor 's eidest son. At his death
the estate will be divided among all
the heirs, of whom there are already
twenty -live. Fifty years from now we
presume there will be two hundred.
The Issl-e. The Lynchburg 2'eies
figures up the issues in the Virginia
campaign as follows: "White or
Black" that is the issue, we repeat,
and the only issue with which true
aud wise men will deal; all other mat
ters are out of the question. To this
and to this alone, let us address our
selves. The fight is for the suprem
acy of the white man ! Railroads to
the rear!
The Back-pay Fcnd. General
Spinner is waiting td hear from
scores of Congressmen who have
caused it to be announced in the lo
cal papers in their respective Dis
tricts that they have returned their
back-pay to the Treasury, when in
fact the records of his office fail to
show anything of the kind. All the
amounts received are promptly turn

Radical Corruption as Viewed by a
Itadical.
Our Radical friends will no doubt
attempt to defend the corrup
tion of its party in Oregon, but the
following correspondence from Sa
lem, to the Sacramento Union, is
prettv severe on the Mitchell-Holla-day
corruptionists, and as it is well
understood that the said correspond
ent is none other than Sam. A. Clarke,
one of the original Radicals of this
State, it will no doubt be taktn by
them as the truth. The correspeud
ent after giving the early history of
our Senator, starts with him from
Pennsylvania as follows :
When he lelt t he Kast his numo wus John

A'.o.her Iadcpcndcnt Vicuing.
Tlie ILin-k-E ic, a little jiaper pttb
lished ut Eugene City by the Gale
Iiros. who have always been thor
ough Republicans, an 1 some of them
have held" Federal Ojlic.es, gives the
following view in regard to its
party. It is a rough picture of tlie
ltidical situation, but a true one:
Ol.l " party usages " are on the de
cline. 'I ue Independent Platform is
gaining power day bv dav. The old
stereotyped process ol'l ashing into the
traces ' refractory- members "lias worn
.nit with the people. The bol l threats
.f i itigs, and the stirring eloquence of
jeet -set-king ixilirieil orators, fall
dike iin'iieeded on the public car. Toe
masses have taken unto themselves
t ic rig'it to tnink and act for them
selves, and the uiitramm; led expres
sions of freedom, coining from men
vith the vvelao-e of their brothers at
heart, calls forth the admiration of the
i 'ople, and will w in. W e have readied
that overridden state where men who
leave to political honesty in any de
gree, cease to hold party 'usages (cau
etise.s, in the modern acceptation of the
term) to be jiaramount above justice
and right. Tue free minded voters of
Oregon will no longer submit to dicta
tion from any narrow minded policy
serving committee or convention. Tne
time has come for bold words and bold
actions. Monopolies are crushing-the
.pi ople and subverting the fundamen
tal principles of our IJepublic. O.'iiee
leeches are sucking the flood of the
working man, and it is no time to re
main silent nor to bo making attempts
(it smothering over, or palliating, or
forgetting the crimes of public nu n for
the sake of carrying another election.
Harmony in a floptical party is very
desirable, but we do not vvant it on
terms dictated bv a hard-faced, soulless,
tyrani'-al scoundrel, even though he he
a Unit d Stilt -s Senator. Neither do
we want those terms prescribed by the
coirnpt little faction that used so manv
fjov ei m neiit surveying contracts, anil
so much o! the money Den Ilolladav
extorted from the people of Oregon, to
buy lien Holladay a Senator. When
they attempt to fore ' the party tocarrv
t!ie" cargo of rottenness that "has been
foisted ii j Kin it, true men of the party
become gorged to excess. They can
not, they will not submit to it. We de
mand a candidate for Congress vvho
will stand firmly on the platform that
the people can heartily endorse which
dares to assert that we ha've been de
ceived, outraged and disgraced, and
that we will shake off this incubus,
this barnacle, which was bought and
paid for by Holladay and his Custom
House and Land "Oi'lice servants.
These doers of Holladay 's biddings de
serve to be hurled from the national
positions they are making notorious s.
strong-holds for personal atrtrrandize- !
ment for they are, in no small measure
either, detracting from the strength of
the party they claim to be serving anil
supporting. When aSnrveyor General
becomes so unstable as to be forced to
do wrong through fear of losing his
Kisition, or so corrupt as to barter the
trusts of his office for the suoport of an
unprincipled man to a high position, it
is time that he le removed, and the
power that refuses to disturb him in
the face of such facts, need entertain no
hope of future supvrt from the State
which he thus disregards the interests
of.
