Adopted is the State Co:n-ve:ntiox, Portland, Sept. 9, 1S73. . That wo recognize and support the legal and constitutional authority of the Federal government, but insist upon the strict construc tion of the Federal Constitution as necc-ary to the preservation of the inherent rights of the people; that wo oppose centralization a? the most insiduous and dangerous enemy of popular rights, and will -continue to denounce it in every guise in which it may apnoar; that mo several ucparunents oi our government. Legislative Exocutivo and Judicial are inde jendent in their respective spheres under the Constitution, and any attempt by any one of them, to usurp authority, .is destructive of the Constitutional rights andiindependcnce of the others, and should bo rejected as dangerous to civil liberty. . . 2. That justice demands a revision of our tariff laws, wiHi view to secure revenue alone, and not to tax the community in goneral for the benefit of particular "ixterests, and to the detriment of the laboring classes of the com munity. ... . ,, :, That tho wealth of the country is tho pro duct of labor, and that weliearfiily favor such legislation as has for its object tho protection and support of tho producing and laboring classes. -Capital protects itself, whilo labor in in itsnuinorous and diversified forms, needs and must .have, tho fostering care of prudent and skillful legislation, and particularly is this true aUhis time, when tho profits of production are being swallowed up in tho extortionate rates of transportation. 4. That all corporations are subject to legis lative control; those created by Congress sho'd be restricted and controlled by Congress, and those under Stato lawsbosubjectto the control of tho States creating them; and all corpora tions should be so controlled as to prevent thorny from becoming engines of oppression; and also the property of all corporations should be as- , sessed and taxed at the same rates as property of individuals. o. That wo viow with groat apprehension tho wide-spread corruption and dishonesty that lias recently marked our public service, and considering as shameful and iniquitous the re cent act of Congress granting an increase of salaries, we demand an immediate repeal and Ave denounce every member of Congress,Dcm ocrat or Republican, who supported the meas ure, and also tho President of tho Unitod States by whose approval the infamous act became a law. . That tho act of the President in setting up by tho bayonet a government in Louisiana not desired by her people, and having no title whatever to rule them, was a flagrant violation of her rights under tho Federal Constitution. 7. That overy department of the government being in the hands of the Republicans they are justly responsible for the evils and wrongs in Jcgi-dation and administration of which the 'country complains. 5. Wo are opposed to granting by the goneral government of subsidies to steamship linos to import Chinese slaves to our shoros, and wo demand such modification of tholiurlingame treaty with China as will effectually cut off this stream of Chinese immigration. i!. We demand of Congress an additional ap propriation for tho removal of obstructions to the navigation of the Wallamotrivor, and such aid by appropriation or othorwiso as will open tho Columbia river to free navigation, by means of a canal and locks at tho Cascade port age, and tho procoeds of tho side of aUornato sections of tho public lands to aid in tho con struction of tho Portland, Dallos and Sale lake Railroad. 10. That as tho vast oxtent of our coast (em bracing a distance of noarly 1,000 miles in ox tent), is destitute of any placo of resort for ves sels in stress of weather, and vast amounts of property are liable to loss yearly thcroby, together with a great many valuable lives; Therefore bo it resolved, that wo re miro of our Representatives in Congress that thoy uso every honorable offort to secure an appropria tion for the harbor of Port Orford; lirst, asbo ing adapted to an improvement of tho kind, and also for the improvement of all places in the Stato that may contribute to our conimor- "cial prosperity. 11, That the policy of tho general government known as tho " Indian Poaco Policy," uy which Indian tribos have boon encouraged in, and granted immunity for, tho wholesale robbory 'and massacre of holples3 citizons upon frontiers has retarded tho settlement and development of our unoccupied territory ,and has matorialy inj Ared our Stato in our vital intorests; that it i- a wrong, if not a criuio, and ought to bo aband med for a policy of firmnoss and justice. 12. That we most cordially invito all who fa vor retrenchment and reform in every depart ment of tho public servico.and tho restoration of the government to its fornior purity and effi ciency, to assist us by thoir votes and intluoneo in the attainment of objects so important and desirable. sW eod ,Special Election, Monday Octobor 13, 187-J.
