TnE Davenport DEnocRAr complains that
MIR. E-bert Dodge. sent out by the Mer-
chants Exchange, Of this city, for the pur-
pose of procuring statistics of the grain OPP

the trade of Davenport. The omission, il il
occurred, was. no doubt, insdvertent.-St

We should prefer to view the matter in
that light too, but circumstances will not
admit Of it. II is not tho omission alone Of
which our merchants complain, but Mr..
Dodge, after having been Furnished with the

them 10 the credit Of Rock Island, . point At
which he failed to get scarcely any returns

Of st. Louis that Rock Island shipped 7s7.>
l76 bushels Of wheat when il is well
known fact that not enough wheat is msr-
keted in that place to keep her flour mill
running proprietors depending upon the
Davenport market. lie also informs ST.

DOL bushels Of onions, when he must have
known, if he knew anything abou, the
matter at all, that no. . bushcl oi
onions was shipped from that point

Jefferson Davis.

Very few days elapse without some news
by telegraph, in relation to Jefferson Davis
and his affairs and doings. Nearly every
dispatch contains some new rumor or report
concerning this illustrious prisoner of the
malice and malignity of the radical rump
Congress. Incarcerated, as Mr.. Davis was,
for heading a people who-right or wrong
thought they were struggling against oppres-
sion tyranny and despotsm, for the rights
and privileges supposes to be guaranteed by
the trainers of the Constitution. 1t is no
wonder that his name should appear frequent
ly, and prominently in the eastern kilograms.
One thing strikes us as very singular, that is
the fact, that Horace Greedy, the avowed
father of Aboliiionism, should appear so Off
ciOus in the defense of Jefferson Davis. Alb
olitionism and puritan intermeddling must
be considered by the future unbiased hstori-
an, as the prime cause of the late unhappy
war. Mr.. Davis has been the victim of
ficndish inhumanity for two long years, and
denied the rights and privileges accorded the
culprit accused of the most Infamous offence.
at the istigation Of the Jacobins, who have
~ th"S lIiivhi AuHtiOl4tu lht ulldlI6 Vi gov
ernment He was denied his legal rights
Believing this was, and is, a government of
law it is no wonder that Horace Greedy ap-
peared as one of the bondsmen of the dis
tingushed prisoner. BY what species Of
legerdemain the ofFenses of large body of
people is transferred and charged to the ac-
count OF Mr.. Davis, we are unable to deter
mine. All are equally guilty, or none. All
should be punished, Or all should escape
punishment. We cannot see how men can.
under our laws, commit ofienses by proxy.
We naturally conclude that the radical party
fear something which they are unwilling
should appear to the public inspection. DO
they fear that the man whom they. without
a shadow of law, have incarcerated for two
years without effort at trial will be more
highly esteemed than they? DO they fear
that Davis will visit their sins upon their
guilty heads, for past enormities and efforts
to overthrow liberty and the rights of man

it is the settled policy and uualterable
purpose of the radical party, to mongrel-
ize the American people, to revolution.
izo our social and political fabric, break
down the barriers between caste and col
or. The consequence is self evident.
Weakness and degeneracy will as surely
follow, as the night succeeds the day
Our Sister republic Of Mexico, ought to
teach US an instructive national lesson.
The result of the effort to equalize the
races, must inevitably be the deteriora-
ton Of the superior race as all history
shows. If such be the deplorable conse.
quences Of radical policy, the quicker
the voice of condemnation is heard from
the American people, the greater will be
the assurance ofpermanance in our re,
publican institutions. The people should
trust them not A party false to every
pledge they have heretofore made, are
not to be trusted even in pledge to the
colored man. They are not to be trusted
in their announcements of love of country,
and affection for republicanism. They
can only be trusted where the benefits
inure to themselves and then only where
the power will be retained by them even
at the cost Of the destruction of constitu.
tional liberty.

worthy of the source from which it omanated
into effect. No useless fears need be enter
tanned upon that score, however, for if the
order is not carried out, he will simply fail
to play out the role of his nature, for good and
sufficient reasons. That Juarez could sully
his great record is o matter of impossibiity
for there is nothing placed to his credit which
any act could mar, for like all of the
former Mexican rulers and Mexican people
generally as well might you try to extract
blood from turnip as to expect mercy or
magnanimity from Juarez, now that he has

Secretary Seward has already sent a protest

Beautiful Extracts.

In The Oregonidn Of a recent date we find
a republication of few extracts from the
Bullion, torn from their connection in such
manner as to give its readers no eoncep-
ton whatever of the necessity which COM
PEELED their writing nor Of the relief to their
seeming harshness by the immediate context
The same liberty taken with the Oregonian
wonld not be very palatable, we rather i'm
agine A great many extracts can be had from
that delectable sheet that would bring the
crimson blush to the check of more har-
dened radical than the Oregoniaa man.
His senseless twaddle for the past four
months would disgrace even the billings-gate
of pot house. Will our very ckasst, mod
est and uaassuming friend of the Oyegoniaa
put himself to the trouble--and he is GER
tainly industrious--to look over his erudite
illusions against the Herald, and make the
dmende and save us tho space necessarily
required in disgracing our columns with his
balderdash. lie will, no doubt, be convinc-
ed OF the truth of that old maxim, that the
devil should never rebuke sim"
When the Oregoniaa desires to copy from
the Bullion it is but sheer justice that such
extracts should be given as are not likely to
misead The Ore7oaian will do well to re-
member this. We have written nothing
that we desire to change, and regret the use
Of no language, for which we are are respon-
sible. This courtesy we extend to all from
whom we copy. Certainly this should be
the governing principle of the craft.

Booths Diary.

Much has besn said concerning the sup
preston of the diary kept by Booth in re-
lation TO the assassination of Abraham Lin
coin. What led to our thoughts upon the
subject was the charge made by Butler Of
Massachusetts,, against Bingham, who assist
ed in the prosecution ofthe parties accused of
the conspiracy Butler seems to think that
Mrs. Surratt was condemned without suffi-
cient evidence Of guilt.
Mrs. Surrat might have been cognizant Of
the intended abduction OF Mr.. Lincoln. and
possessed no knowledge whatever, of the as
sassination. Should she have engaged in
and assisted a combination, the avowed OBJ
Ject OF which was to abduct and imprison
and not to Stay, it would seem that common
sense would teach that for no other crime
or olfense could she be called upon to ans
wer A change by others in the avowed
original object of such combination, to assas-
sinaton, would. fix no guilt upon her, with
out knowledge of, or acqucscence in, such
change on her part. This we understand
to be the idea advanced by Mr.. Butler. We
certainly think that in that particular be was
right. Hence the crime against law and
justice when that portion of the diary of
Booth relating to the change in the original
intention ofhis co-consprators, was suppress
ed and refused admissions before the military
commission. We understand that it is a
principle, well settled in criminal law, that
where admission Of a party are introduced in
evidence, in order to establish guilt, all of the
admissions, both favorable and uniavorable,
must be taken together A portion advanta
geous to the prosecution cannot be admitted
and that which is advantageous be reject
ed. All, or none, is the rule. That this very
wise and prudent rule was violated, We have
the testimony of both Bingham aud Butler
Now. what was portion of that diary sup
