WAR IT siEAss.-The real object Of the
Civil Rights Bill, which the Radicals passed
over the Presidents veto, is thus given by
AIR. Bingham. Radical member of Congress
from Ohio. 1t means to strike down by
Congressional enactment every State Consti-
tution in the land and every State statute
that makes a discrimination ON account of
race or ~celor.h 1t means toplaee the negro,
by Congressional enactment. upon an equal
ity with the white man. This is what it
means fellow citizens, as we have the au-
thority of Mr.. bingham for stating, and the
Abolition candidates in Oregon are now call.
ing upon you to approve the infamous Bill!
Read and ponder upon what Bingham says !:
What was proposed BY the first division of
the first section of the bill was simply to
strike down by Congressional enactment
every State Constitution in the land and
every State statute that made a discrimina-
ton on account of race or color. There was
scarcely a State Of the Union that did not by
its Constitution or law. make some discrim-
ihation on account of race or color between
citizens of the United States in regard to
civil rights and this bill would subject the
Governor of the State of Ohio to a fine and
Imprisonment, if he did not not disobey the
Constitution of that State which declared
that no one should he elected to Office land
therefore nc one should be commissioned to
ofiec1 in that State, save white citizens of
the United States.

A BASE FORGERY. a paragraph
copied from the Oregonian is making the
rounds of the Abolition papers, to the
effect that a twelfth section added to the
Civil Right bill, " expressly provides that
nothing IN this act shall be construed as
interfering with the right of any State to
regulate suffrage" A careful review Of
the proceedings of Congress shows that
this clause was stricken out, and the bill
as published in the Eastern journals does
not contain it. Furthermore, Mr.. Bing-
ham, a Radical member of Congress, and
a warm supporter Of the measure, said. in
a late speech: "What was proposed by
the first division of the frstsection of the
bill was simply to strike down, by Con
gressional enactment, every State Consti-
tuition in the land" Certainly Mr., Bing.
ham would not claim this power for the
first section, if the last section expressly
provided that nothing in this Act shallb be
construed as interfering with the right O
any State" etc. The twelfth section is
myth, a base forgery, for the more com
%pletely bewildering the minds of the PEG
pie as to the Interior objects and designs
of the party now in power.

In the House Wilson obtained an order for

material difference being that any State by
establishing an equal and iustsystcm Of suf-
frage may have its Representatives admit

The House also passed a bill to amend the
organic acts of the Territories of Montana,
W Washington, Idaho, Arizona, Utah and New
Mexico. The bin prohibits legislative as

separate powers, but authorizes them to pass
general laws for thai purpose. The 9th sec.

elective franchise TO the citizens Of the Unit

negroes to vote, it forces negro suffrage

declares that citizenship shall extend only

RADICAL LEGIsLArTON--ETs
REVOLUTIONARY CHARACTER

A few weeks ago the Radical Con-
gress passed over the veto of the Presi-
dent : violently revolutionary measure
known as the Civil Rights Bill. Several
versions of the bill have been placed be-
fore the people, each being presented as
the simon pure, and no one on this coast
can safely state which is the true copy of
the measure as it passed. But ne gather
4 very fair idea Of what the bill really is
in substance from the reported debates
upon it partially given in the late East
ern papers, and from the Veto Message of
the President upon it. That it is a bin
of fniquities. ofoutrages and insults upon
the whites, and particularly upon natural
lied or foreign born citizens, is visible to
every rezder, and that it establishes Ne
gro Equality, politically and socially, in
effect. is equally plain. In its odious fca-
lures against the native born white citi-
zen, ana IN favor Of the negro, the bin is
abominable enough; but it is atrocious in
its operations against the citizen or resi-.
dent alien born, from the enlightened ma.
tons Of Europc-of people of Caucasian
blood-inasmuch as it places them below
the native born negro, and exactly on !
level with the pagan Asiatic or Mongoli
an. In this respectthe measure is found

FAY, MALLORY AND LANES
SKETCHES.

According to previous notice the can
didates for Congress, Hon. JAS. D. Fay.
Democratic candidate, and Rufus Mallory,
Radical candidate, addressed a large au-
dience. in the Court House, in this place.
on last Monday. on the political issues of
the day. Mr.. Fay led in the labors in
an able, eloquent, and efectual appeal to
the voters of Linn county to investigate
the principles Of the party which success
fully, according TO Law. justice and the
Constitution of our country, piloted the
Government, both in times Of peace and
war, from its formation until within the
past FIVE years; and then take a retro
|spcctiyc view of the deeds and a pros
pective examination of the object
of the party who have had the hand
ling of the reins of Government for
|fve years, and showed their inability to
act as agents of the nation by plunging
the country into demoralizing, bloody war
and. fanatical Abolition misrule. Mr..
Fay fairly surpassed and wholly eclipsed
the highest expectations of either party.
in eloquence and ability, as an orator. His
speech was received with heavy and con.
tinued applause. The ready wit of Mr.
FAY had such a stunning effect on the
stupidity of the obtuse Mallory as to SC
IbewIlder the latter that it was impossible
for him, on taking the floor, to express 8
single a idea or convey a sensible
thought in any terms. He leaped from
Congress to johnson, and visa versa, with.

ton from the yawning, gaping, insipic
lduIlards who, ike himself had exhausted
all their strength in trying to discern
which wing of their party would far

MALLORY i DIsUSloNlsT.-Whilc Mallory
was speaking, Mr.. Fay asked him the ques-
ton, If he were in Congress, and Chase and
Seward were tho candidates for President,
and Chase was to receive the electoral vote
of IL of the Northern States, and Seward the
other 10, including the entire Southern
States, and thereby having a majority Of the
electoral votes, whom he would be in favor
of declaring President, to which Mr.. NJ. re.
piled, Mr.. Chase. This is the true position
of the Abolition party. IF a majority of the
Northern States elect, they care nothing fol
the balance of the country. By tins ac-
acknowledgement, Mr.. Mallory brands himscl
as a disunionist of the most radical stamp
