man calculation than that the Disuniting
Black Republican party intend to pei
petuate themselves in power
A review of the whole field presents
no very encouraging hope to dislodge
them from their strongly fortified po-
sition, unless there is change in tactics.
A large majority of tho American people
are opposed to, and have quite enough Of
Black Republican rule, and would gladly
return to tho simple bchoof of old time
democracy, il rcsolutc and unqualified
resolve were adopted to restore the Gov
ernment upon its original basis The
greatest obstacle to be encountered in re-
placing the Union upon its original foun-
datlon may be traced to the "rolicy" ef-
forts of the democratic party.
The friends of contraism simultaneous
with the late civil conflict, assailed the
doctrine OF State Rights as " damnable
political heresy," and tho consequent
disastrous arrangement produced by the
late civil war presented an inviting OPP
portuuity to test It's practical effects.
We care not what May have been man 5
proclivities, or what party he may have
advocated during the war, if he is not n
political demagogue, an unscrupulous Of
fee seeker, blind fanatic, or bereft of
reason, he is u democrat, and to insure
an united adherence aud cooperation with
the democracy, 1t is only necessary to
take bold and unainching stand upon
the principles enunciated in the resolu-
tions Of 9S-9. II was under tho in
spring influence Of these resolutions that
the democracy organized, and oycrthrew
the Federal hosts Of Capitalization in the
year 1900, and elevated Thomas Jefferson
to the Presidency. These Resolutions
have been adopted, affirmed aud reafIirm-
ed by the democracy and every other
National party in all their meetings, con
yentons and administrations. They
were even prominently Incorporated into
the platform that nominated Abraham
lincoln, and placed in power the black
republican party in 1860; and during
this periol of sixty years, the American

If the Resolutions OF 9S-9 arc errone

lie that has given attention TO Amer

to confess that policy, not principle ha
been the controlling genius of both pc
iiiioal parties Of the country. aud ha
we'll nigh resulted in total ruin and bank
ruptcy. As to the Black Rcpublica
party. It's policy has been treachery an
corruption throughout, ruinous and dc
grading to the people, designed to culm
nate in the elevation Of the negro to
perfect equality with themselves in ever
particular. We should interpose no oil
lection to the beauties and blessings {
negro equality, if it were TO be exclr
siycly enjoyed by the Black Repub lica
party, or those Of their members wh
desire it. But as it is to be foisted upo
the democracy and their white friend
everywhere, We should denounee and re
sist it at all hazards, and to the last ex
tremity as an abhorrent violation Of Law
both human aud divine.
The time is at hand that we shoul
unmask all political hypocrites, and ever
man who claims the virtues Of demo
crat must openly and defiantly assault tn
negro equality monster, and all other kind
of enormities Of the Disuniting Loyalt
party. Some apparently well-meanin
and intelligent men contend that it is e.

: order to secure the corporation of th
conservative element We think it muc
safer, and far more noble and honorabl
to allow this conservative element to II
main just where it is, that a few MOI
turns of the "loyal" screw may brin
them to their senses.
Besides, we know that large maiorit
of the voters of Oregon desire, and vi
demand the redemption of our State VI
on the ancient principles Of democrac.
Such at least are the convictions of
