THE GRAND SECRETARY OF THE "oLD GUARD"
coNFEssEs HIS GUILT.

THE GRAND SECRETARY OF THE GOLD GUARD"
coaFEssEs HIS GUILT.
Tom Cation, for a long time the leading
Democratic lawyer in Marion county, told the
editor of this paper, in the presence of the
Clerk of the Court and others, that he (Caton)
was the man that organized the s'Old Guard"
society in Polk county that the object of
that society was to resist the arrest of persons
by the United States authorities; or, 10 other
words, that they, the Old Guard would not
allow their men to be arrested by the military
for hauling down the American flag, rejoicing
over the murder OF President Lincoln, etc.
Caton further said that they were prepared to
resist the United States authorities in this
matter, and that If another such an arrest as
thatiof Fulkerson had been made, they would
have resisted.-Oregon Statesman.
Voters of Oregon, the proof of Democratic
conspiracy in Oregon, in behalf of treason, is
full, conclusive and overwhelming.
II you are not ready yet to be represented
in Congress and 10 the Executive and Legis-
lative branches OF the State Government, by
convicted traitors, you must not vote for the
Democratic capdidates for they were impi-
Gated in the treason confessed by Tom Cation,
the Grand Secretary of the "Olds Gusrd."--

Incre.s.d Esll Tae..ltles.

We areVlc@-cl to observe hat Nj
Robinson. OF jefferson county. hAN
introduced in the House. a memorial
PRAYING for a scini-wcekly mail
service on Route No. lj.4o1. from
this place to Victoria. We hope it
will receive that consideration its i'm
portance demands. \ growing ne
cessity requires this Improvement
in our facilities for steam commune
cation. 1t has always appeared to us
an oversight Of the Postal Depart
ment that The overland tri-wcekly
mail service should terminate at this
point, and nothing better than a
weekly mail be afforded to the many
thriving business points on the
Sound, which but await the aid of
capital snd industry to develop their
many resources. The establishment
of a scmi-weekly mail, is step to-
wares the achievement of this object.
The memorial should receive an
unanimous support in the Assembly,
and aided by the cordial cooperation
of the people on the Sound cannot
fail of success.
A semi-weckly mail need not cost
much more than our present weekly.
A tirst-class boat can easily make two
trips a week. The extra cost Of run.
ming would be comparatively tritie,
which we believe would be amply
compensation by the increased trade.
Another important measure inau-
gurated in the House, by Mr. Long
mire, is a memorial asking for post
route from some convenient point on
the Sound, through some one of the
many practicable passes in the Cas-
cade mountains to Walla Walla, or
other eligible point in the Eastern
part of the Territory. This also
should be backed by the voice of
the people. Let no sectional jeal-
ousies debar the success which is in
evitable with united and harmonious
action.
These, and other important meas
urcs of like character, have engaged
legislative action the greater part of
the week. The session this far has
been remarkably harmonious. We
trust it may remain SO throughout,
and result in much practical good.

Mr.. Edrdgc thought the word

liable to misconstruction that it
might be applied to lady walters in

out a license.
Mr.. Knapp moved to strike out the
Objectionable word.
Mr.. McGilvra thought no possible
mi,conception could arise, and
thought the language plainly indi-
Gated the meaning of the Legislators.
Mr.. Simmons said, if the word
"waitcr' was stricken out, by the
amendment, the bill might just as
well not become law. lie there
fore opposed the amendment, as also
the proposition to reduce the cost OF
license from three to one hundred
uOIIdIS per quarter.
Mr.. Eldridge said the bill didn't
affect his county, but he wanted to
see laws framed in proper language.
The law should Enthusiastically indi.
cate the intention of the Legislature.
He maintained that the word wait

thought he must have eaten pickles

The pre.iden. as Chief Executive.

1t is commended by the radicals that
The President of the United States is
merely an executive officer; that it is
simply his duty to execute the laws pass
cd by Congress; and that whom he has
recommended any particular measure to
Congress and the Congress has acted
upon it or refused to act, there the duty
of the President ceases. In other words,
it is commended that the President has 40
right to pursue any policy that Congress
has not approved.
We believe thai this position, Is. Ia
the main, correct However if the re.
commentator of the President DO disre'
garded by the Congress, IL is certainly
his right, as well DIS that of every private
citizen, to labor for the election of Con-
gress that will carry out ais views. The
PresideLs Of the United states is certain
identified t. his opinio-s as to the course
thu will best promote the interests OF
the country. If he eIteftains the opln-
inn that the measures adopted by the
majority in Congress arc detrimental 10
tbe welfare Of the nation at large, II can
NOT be denied that it is duty, not simply
to recommend different couiao, out TO
exert whichever personal or official innu-
ence he can TO have his recommendation
regarded. If one set OF men will not re
gard it, he is not to De blamed for seeking
the election of men who Will.
But, it is true that the President IS a.,
executive officer, and that 1t is his duty
TO enforce the laws. Aud, i'll the presen'
excited political contest, notwithstaud
ing the President is daily denounced 10y
his enemies Us an "usurper,' aud as
claiming prerogatiyes that do not legA.-
ly pertain to his office, conservative men
should not lose sight of the fact that he
is merely laboring TO discharge the duties
imposed upon him by lac IL striving %
procure the admission OF the Southern
delegates TO seas in Congress, the Presl
dent IS acting III his executive c Yacity.
Even if his individual opinions wore adj
verse to the admission Of .Aa Southern
representatives, while The constitution
and the laws remain as they are, he has
no option, but must in obedience to his
official oath, do all that he eau to secure
their admission. 1t is the members Of
Congress who are law.breakers; not
President JOHNSON.
The reason of this is Obvious The
Constitution of the Uuited States is the
supreme law of the land. " That law
provides that each State shall have at
least one representative ill the lover
branch of Congress and that no State
shall, without its consent, be deprived If
its equal Suffrage in the Senate By the
exclusion of ten States from represent,
hon entirely, both ofthese provisions of
the supreme law.are violated. Ii is there
fore the duty of the President, in his
executive capacity, 10 see that the con
stitutian is obeyed by the Immediate
admission of members of Congress from
