VERY PATRIOTIC.

even life itself, for the good of their
country. But the fifteen Radical
members of the Oregon Legislature,
who resigned their seats because, as
they allcdge, they did not receive any
pay after the expiration of forty days,
have told the country by their actions,
that all they arc willing TO sacrifice
for their country is just exactly six
dollars worth Only that much and
nothing mofSl a huge sum indeed |
These same members have also told,
by their actions, how much they hate
Oregon. Let us see BY not remain
ing in their seats for twelve or twenty
hours longer, they prevented the pas
sage of an appropriation bill. If no
appropriation bin be passed for the
next two years, about 100000 of
public money will be poured into tho
vaults ofthe State Treasury; but not
dollar can be legally withdrawn
The effect will be that the Governor,
and other State officials, will spccu-
late, through others of course, with
these State funds. They will buy up
State Warrants ut big discount, and
in various other ways they will shave
the people with money that has been
furnished by the people themselves
They can make all the way from
$75, 900 to 100000, with these public
monies during the next two years ;
and the people will lose that much -at
least and just that much these fifteen
resigning members hate Oregon.
But these same resigning gentle
men not only hate Oregon as State,
10 this amount, but they hate some
of her citizens with an intensity that
is appalling. We allude to the in
sane. BY resigning, these gentry de-
feated the appropriation bill and
this, sooner or later, will cause DIR.
Hawthorne to turn the Insane out
into the cold world again. 1t is inn
possible for him to keep them q great
while without pay, and he will be
compelled to turn them loose upon
community again. An honorable man
would sooner be guilty of maltrcating
a 1rna1 and Uura xrou,au fban af .hus
ing and maltreating those so unfortu-
nate as the insane. But these craven,
heartlcss members,-led on by an un.
principlcd and INSCRIPTIONS Execu.
tive-who, if possible, is more lost to
every feeling Of humanity than his
miserable dupes, care nothing for the
Insane. The actions of these honord
bic members prove that they really
hate them. If father, being perfect
Iy able, were to desert his young and
helpless children ;-if he should make
no provision for their support-would
not the world say that he hated them
and that he was a sort of human mon
ster? The Insane Of this State arC
the wards of the State; and to neglect
to make suitable provision for them i,
as criminal as it would be for a pa
rent to make no provision for the sup
port of bis helpless and innocent of
spring
But our noble Governor, and his fif
teen honorable Radical dupes, not
only hate Oregon and her wards, but
their acts prove that they lore those
whose hands are stained with crime
we allude to the Penitentiary convicts
1t costs something to run the peniten
tiary and this is particularly true rel
atiEe to the erection of the new pcni
tentiary buildings had in coRtempla
ton. But bill, containing appro
priations for these two objects, wa,
defeated by the action of the Cover
nor and his fifteen dupes aforesaid
and sooner or later, the dread neces
sity will be upon the Superintendent
of turning all his prisoners loose int
the world to prey upon society again
because No enc supposes that he vii
/ long advance the means where with tc
defray the current expenses of the
/ penitentiary What delightful con
dition of society we are liable to have
ere long l-thc idiotie and insane
wandering, houseless and homeless
hither and thither, and the red-handet
inmates of the penitentiary roaming
at large again, stealing, forging
counterfeitlng, rioting and murder
ingi If this state of things shall hap
pen, let the people remember that il
is the result of the conspiracy perpe
trated by the Governor and the fit
teen Radicals whom he inveigled into
it.
