The Oregon union. (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1863, 1863-02-28

endorsed its sentiments. Had the elec-
tions gone in favor Of Abolitionism, they
would still continue to endorse it. They
would continue to swear it was "just their
sentiments" The miserable Canaille are
now ready to swallow their puke on that
occasion-to take back into their foul and
filthy stomachs the torrents Of scurrility
and unmerited abuse spewn forth by them
upon men whom they knew in their hearts
were always right. What dependence
can be placed upon men who will thus sac
rifce truth, honor and principle, and who
do violence to their own consciences and
convictions, for the sake, of being on the
winning side ? What right have such
men as will endorse the above Infamous
sentiments from the Salem paper-and
they all endorsed it at the time-to claim
that they are "Seymour Democrats ?''-
The devil has more just grounds for
claiming to be an "angel of light"

pers published i'll Oregon and elsewhere as much
in s'aid and comfort of the enemy" in the pres
ent war as any that have been excluded from the
mails. It viii be remembered, that during Mr..
Buchanan's administration order was issued
to all postmasters to arrest all incendiary mat
ter found in the mails.
TThis is an infamous lie. Never was
any such order issued by Democratic ad-
ministration.-ED. UNIoN.]
By this order all postmasters are authorized
to open and search all suspected packages and
destroy the contents, if by them deemed of in
cendiary character. This order, made under a
Democratic administration, is applicable to the
present time, and we have no doubt if postmas-
ters in Oregon take the responsibility of arrest
ing reasonable and incendiary matter in their
offices, that the Postmaster General will con-
slider the proceeding regular and proper."-Sa-
lem Vampire, March Sd, 1862.
The above was not onl y an endorsement
Of the outrageous and arbitrary acts of the
Abolition Administration in its raid against
free press, but direct encouragement
to the lowest menial tools of the Admin
istration, to act without orders, and Ro B
the mails.
The Linn County "Union" Convention,
was held at Albany March goth, 1862,
Joseph Hamilton Chairman, and S. E.
Church Secretary, A. Osborne Assistant
Secretary. Bush's Monkey Captain John, -
7. A. Riggs, c. Fl. Barber, DR.. S. A. Smith
and J. F. Backenstow reported, among
others, the following resolutions, which
will put the mark of the tyrant's tool up
on their broWs SO long as they live.
4th. That we approve of the test oaths re-
quired by our Government before granting any
bounty to any person, believing as we do that
every loyal citizen will gladly avail himself of
the privilege of swearing allegiance to his
country.
9th. That we approve of the course of our
Government in stopping from the mails the dis
loyal journals of Oregon, believing that the
Oregon Democrat, Oregon Union and Jackson
riNe Gazette aiming at the overthrow of our
Government, and the recognition of the South
ern Confederacy.
Have not the tools, toadies and lick
spittles of tyranny, who enunciated these
sentiments, clear and undisputed right
and title to claim kindred with Governor
Seymour? Are they not "sweet scented"
"Seymour Democrats ?''
