THE UAM.Es JADE WINCES.
The Democrat's lance-thrust penetrat.
ed a tender spot In Harvey Scott's mental
organitm. This man with a reptilian
tongue and a heart filled only with male
volent bitterness,after having basely sland
ered over half of the sixty five millions of
his countrymen and being righteously and
justly denounced by the Democrat for
his ci line, like a kicked cur.puts on a meek
look ot humility and prates about belrf
Subjected to much vituperation by demc
Cratc papers. Does the ex-collector of
customs suppose that he can slander and
Tillify half the people of the country with
at being called to account for it ? No sir,
Republicans as well as democrats are con
demning this brutal assault. Scott says
the editor of the Democrat gets his poll
tics innocently. Of course he does. That
Scott gets his politics innocently admits of
grave doubts on every hand. His bitter
warfare on the whisky element some
years ago, followed by a very sudden
somersault to its dcfenfc.caused people to
think that the change, instead of being an
innocent one, was a very costly one. His
abrupt change from his free trade views to
a monopolistic tariff was never regarded
as an innocent one. That Terry was a
democrat, we do not deny. That he was a
bad, dangerous element in society, no one
will dispute. Every one knows that the
democratic party has bad, dangerous men
in !t,and that the republican party has bad,
dangerous men in It. That the democratic
party has such men in it, needs no further
proof than the fact that Terry was a dem
ocrat. That the republican party has its
bad men, dirty slanderers, foul-mouthed
detainers and villifiers of decent people,
needs no further proof than the one cold
fact that Scott is a republican. But can
any democrat be found who is so mean
and despicable as to charge that Scott, with
all his misdeeds, faults, defects in charact
er, is a representative of the methods, in
tentions and purposes of the republican
,arty ? We opine not. Has Scott forgot
ten the corruption and briberies practiced
by his political party in Portland in 187 ?
How he trembled as an aspen leaf when
he contemplated the threatened prosecu
tion of these bribers by Gibbs, U S district
attorney, before Deady ? How in trepida
tion of spirit and fear of an impending
crisis, he wrote the following letter to
Mitchell to induce that gentleman to help
scare Deady off the bench in order that
these bribers might not be prosecuted :
Portland, Feb. 16th, 1874.
My Dkar Sir i You will see that I
have been and still am making It warm for
Deady. I believe that if you and-other
friends of our cause at Washington would
acquaint Butler, and other members of the
house with these tremendous facts, Deady
would be impeached. You know that the
Oregonian is constantly attacking Butler :
and you know also that Deady is editor f
the Oregonian. Now if all these facts were
properly made use of wecould scare Deady,
at least. What do you think about it ? All
our friends here hope that something will
be done to rid the bench of this "fleshliest
Incubus." Please show this to Mr Holla
day. Respectfully,
II. W. Scott.
Scott was then editor of the Bulletin and
W Lair Hill of the Oregenian. The latter
paper did what It could to prosecute the
bribers, while the former threw everything
In the way of those who were prosecuting.
And this letter writer is the man who now
sets himself up as a censor of the conduct
of decent people. A more fearful lie was
never breathed by human lips than when
Pcott said that a murderer, a bully,a duel
list, "an exceedingly Infamous man," was,
throughout his career, an embodiment of
the character of the democratic party of
our day. To say this of Jefferson, Randolph,
Madison, Pinckncy, Monroe, Jackson,Cal
houn, Cass, VanBuren, Pierce, Buchanan,
Douglas, Breckinridge, Tllden, Seymour,
McClellaii, Hancock, Cleveland, Bayard
nd hosts of other able, honest, patriotic
citizens whose characteristics cover more
than seven-eights of the pages of legisla
tion by the national government, Isto write
down the author of such saying as one of
the dirtiest dispensers ol slan ders In the
country. This ghoul In human garb has
never been known to let any piomincnt
democrat escape the nasty virus of his
fangs, and at last with overpowe ring bit
terness and party prejudice and party hate
he seeks to accomplish at one fell stroke
what he has long tried to do by piece-meal.
But the great name of the democratic par
ty is Invulnerable against his pigmy at-tack.
"DKVOCsUTlO BLUSTER."
When the governor of Mississippi said
he would prosecute Sullivan and Kilrain
for prise fighting, the Statesman and Ore
goniait, following the example of the lead
ing eastern republican papers, made sport
of Ills threat by calling; it "democratic
bluster" and other choice terms taken from
their peculiar vocabulary of billingsgate.
The governor meant, however, that the
crime should be duly punished. John L.
has been tried, found guilty and given 12
months in the penitentiary. This "demo
cratic bluster" proves a terrifying reality
to John L. and a veritable boomerang to I
the Statesman, Oregonian and other or- I
gans. These papers would sell the political (
capital they made for a song to be sung
next summer. I
It is now said a special session of congres;
will be called to meet in November. 1
