A LEFT HANDER.-Yhe Portland CORES
pendent of the Statesman SAYS:
By. the way, we have a prospect of a new
daily paper here Almost anything would
in the back to represent The interests of Port,
land. We want a journal with some vigor
and force, and whose editors can do more
than write up a dog-fght, or compose a
schoolboy essay. A wide-awake Union
journal would slrplant the Oregonian in a
very short time. and, under the present ar
rangement, a Copperhead paper might be
supported.
The Oregonian and its Abolition e~onfrsre
appear to be getting along very acrimonious
ly. Neither one misses an occasion to give
the other a sharp prod. Members of the
Happy Family, you see.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CEN
TRIAL COM MTTEE.

The following named persons were Sc
lected at the last State Convention to serve
as the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, viz:
Lane, James 0'Meara, f. N. Tandy
Douglas, Charles Drain, James Cox Multi
nomah, S. Pennoyer, Jas. B. Stephens
Jackson, j. n. T. Miller, J.. j. e. Duncan
Josephine, b. r. Holsclaw, John McBrierty !;
Marion, John r. Miller, w. II. Watkinds;
Clackamas, Geo. l.. Curry, A. F. Hedges
Benton, John Burnett, j. Friedly Polk,
Benz. Hayden, b. F.. Burch Linn, j. ii.
Douthit, j. NJ. Mcconnell ; Wasco, Isaac
Hare, n. IL. Gates Yamhill, w. T. Newly,
j. Fl. Upton Baker, b.. F. Bonham, w.
II. Park Umatilla, j. Wilson, N. Ford ;
Clatsop, John Adair; Columbia, John Bon
ser, T. II. Drury.
Agreeably to resolution adopted by the
Convention each county is entitled to two
members, who have a vote each, distinct
and separate, in the Committee and in
eases where bat one member was chosen
at the time, or where any county is entire
" unrepresented, or when vacancies IN
any eounty shall occur, the County Com
mittee of the county concerned is autho-
rized to fill the vacancy. Since the Con
~vention adjourned the counties of Grant
and Union have been created and organ
lied. Accordingly the County Commit
tees of these counties have 1t deyolyed
upon them to make the appointments to
ell whatever vacancy exists from their
respective counties. And the County
Committees of Wasco and BaKer, from
which Grant and Union were taken, are
empowered to fill the vacancies in their
counties, respectively. Coos, Curry, and
Tillamook counties, were not represented
in the Convention, but yet the County
COMMITTEES in each of those counties have
authority to. choose two members, respect
lively, for the State Central Committee.
En- other counties, for which full or par
tial appointments were made in the State
Convention. there may now be vacancies
to fill. The Vacancy in Lane caused b,
the removal of Jas. 0'Meara, has beef
regularly filled by the County Committee
by the selection of Ez-Gov Whiteaker
There is a vacancy in Yamhill county
caused by the removal OF j. II. Upton
, and in Clatsop there is a vacancy BIZ fail
ure of the appointment of one of tn
Committeeman in the State Convention
Gen. Adair alone having been appointed
There may be vacancies in other eountie
of which we are not inforped.
We would suggest to- the County Con
mittees in these several counties that th
: vacancies be filled at the earliest practic:
$ BILE day, and that notification of the az
, pointment of the Central Committee men
e bers be transmitted, together with thei
!. Postofiee addresses, to Jas. B. Steren.
the Chairman of the Committee, at Por
land. BY the adoption of this plan, b
e viii be enabled to comm NnIcatA With then
n whenever it shall be necessary upon nas
I tiers devolyed upon the State Centr:
e Committee. 1t is quite important, how
e ever, that the County Committees i
h the various counties where vacancies exis
should speedily proceed to fill sue
vacancy.

ed" States-and this, too, within the
past. two months, when peace reigned
throughout the land, and the military
necessity" absolute sway was certainly no
longer required. He has, in peaceful,
f" loyal States, suspended the habeas cor
pus, and not only in general terms, but
in individual instances where the rights
of the parties concerned we're constitu-
t%ionally and lawfully subject only to the
civil authorities-when the offences for
which they were held came not within
the purview of military power, but we're
such as the law of the land abundantly
provided for. These are the enumera
ton of only a part of his aggressious and
usarpations. The catalogue might be
materially extended. But we think
enough has been presented to convince
Democrats that Mr.. Johuscn's /" policy"
since his elevation to the Presidency, is
SO repuSnant to the Democratic faith
and usage, so antagonistic to and de-
structive of the Constitution, as to pre-
clude them from greeting him as a re-
turned prodigal, or accepting of him as a
standard bearer to whose support they
are justified in rallying.
We claim to know something of the
principles which inspire, and of the mo-
tives which actuate the Democratic party
of Oregon collectively, and we'know, too,
THAT we simply reflect their sentiments
in asserting that they will not receive
again as a worthy leader and approved
apostle of the party, Mr.. Andrew John
son. They have not, ike some who call
themselves Democrats in the Eastern
States, and who have become demoralized
from a greed for power and Office, cast
their old-time principles behind them,
and put on the motley habiliments Of
lpoticy and erpediency, in order to gain Q
Idishonorable success, and to enjoy 8
temporary lease of control. Democracy
in Oregon is not based upon the popular
position of this or that leader. 1t il

last Monday, when near the mouth of Yam

sunk, had not the Union, which was near
by, came to her assistance, and hauled her
ashore. The extent Of the damage is not

How LIKE BRoTHERs.-To illus
.-~I4 L~~L--~4~ Of tlrU Democratic"
platform in New York, made by Dean
Richmond and his trencher men. we ex-
tract the following from the New York
Express. 1t says:
The difference between the resolutions of
the Democratic State Convention and of this
the Republican, is so narrow, SO slight
that it is scarcely worth talking about.
Both endorse Andrew johnson, cheerfullv,
as President,-not feigningly or hypocriti-
cally. as in Massachusetts. Both approve
his reconstruction policy as wise and just.
Both endorse his policy in the restoration of
full and complete control of tho local affairs
to tho Southern people. Both are kindly to
the South, and both free from the spite and
vengeance of the Charles Summer and Thad.
Stevens portion of the Republican party.
Well, certainly, every Democrat ought
to be delighted to learn that a Demo-
cratic platform is free from the spite and
Vengeance of the Sumner and Thad.
Stevens ilk. It looks as though some
'body's lamb had lain down with some
body else's lion-the lamb inside of the
lion, however. IF New York "Democ-
racy' were not labelled, Horace Greeley
might mistake it for his own progeny.

ABOLITION "JrsTIcE."-At the last torn
of the Circuit Court for Douglas county,
Judge Stratton presiding, Charles jackson,
a crazy Irishman, was sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary for riding off with
a horse belonging toa citizen. lie has been
since sent to the Lunatic Asylum. At the
same term a sane Yankee Abolitionist,
named Rogers, was let go free on charges of
robbery or larceny, and embezzlement, of
which he was well known to have been gull
ty. But Rogers was a Clerk in the Land
Office, and loyal" and Stratton knows
how to treat such cases. lie once let an
Abolition mail robber go free on a writ OF
-habeas corpus, and soon after sent a boy OF
sixteen to the penitentiary for ten years for
stealing a horse from a man who promised
to vote for him for Judge. Stratton dis
pcnses with justice in his Court.

An Appeal to Connecticut.

The State of Connecticut contains some
thing over AGO, LAT people of all ages, sexes
and conditions. Of this number 16 belong
to the Indian race-s,627 TO the African.
The Indian has disappeared almost abso-
lutely, and We presume the 10 will be swal-
lowed up in another generation, The col
0rcd people form n large and thrifty eommu-
nifty, and are scattered over the State. Of
their number, 2.2Sl are men of age to vote,
and. from all we can learn possessed of suf-
fcient understanding, certainly as much as
the 1925 Germans, $40 Frenchmen and a
good portion of the s. ,445 Irishmen who are
entitled, by reason of their color. to q suf-
frage that is not given to q class of people
peculiarly and emphatically American, but
rather darker in lesh.tint, Connecticut
alone, among the New England States,
makes this distinction. 1t is the last relic
of the blue-law system, and we rejoice in
the hope that it viii soon be abolished. Il
1t necessary to address any argument to our
friends ON this subject?
The above is from a late New York
Tribune. We ask our German and Irish
adopted citizens particularly to reflect
upon it. They are insultingly told sub
stantially that, in all else save /" fesh-tint,"
the negroes are their equals. The solid,
thicker skull is nothing; the much
smaller brain is nothing; the fiat, soft
nose the great thick lips the receding
forehead aud chin the woolly covering
to the head the %protruding heel; that
intolerable bodily stench-all these, by
which the Great Creator unalterably
marked the negro, are nothing,-it is
the I" fesh-tint" alone which makes the
difference between the Germans and Irish
on one side, and the negro on the other

THE WRIGHT MURDER.-The st. Louis
Dispatch asserts that Gov. Fletcher u
thorized the infamous Col. Babcoke to
commit the murder of Judge Wright and
his four sons, in Phelps county, Missouri,

murderers. We hope Justice
