said that the election was only preadmonition
Of what was to come in the November contest,
and thatit was virtually the signing of the death
warrant Of the corrupt and despotic party that
ruled the country amid blood and crime, for the
past eight years. Samuel Merritt, Esq.,, was
then called for, and addressed the democracy In
an able and effective manner, when Mr.. Howard
being called again took the stand. After DWELL

that the meeting adjourn by giving three loud

the United States, and you can rely that they
came with hearty good will. OF all ratification

party in Idaho.
The business portion of Boise City still re-
mains, in a measure, dull, and money, as is usu.
ally the case, very scarce. During the hot sum-
mer months the travel and trade decreases, and
it is only when communication is shut off from
the lower countries, and during the time the
Legislature is in session, that this place can be
said to be in the bloom of prosperity then all
the vacant houses are occupied, and rents are
enormous. The crops look very favorable, and
! some think harvest will commence In two weeks
more. Farm hands will be not over pleanty this
season, and farmers say that they will have to
pay So per day for working men. notice that
Reese's Standard Flour and fresh Walla Walla
cured hams and bacon are commanding first
prices in this market; also, that the most of the
butter shipped to this place bears the Walla

toes, arrived from Walla Wslls the past week.

BOISE CRY. June 7. 1863.

BOISE CITY, l. T., June Z, 1868,
EDIroR STATESMAN The glorious news of the
radical defeat in Oregon was hailed with every
demonstration of joy by the "white men" of
Boise City, night before and last night. On
Friday evening, the stage bringing the result of
the vote cast east of the Cascades, arrived at
about seven o'clock, when anvils were brought
out and salute Of thirteen guns were fred in
front of the Democrat office. So far, so good.
But on yesterday evening, when the news was
received of the total overthrow of the disciples
of Stevens and Sumner, and the redemption of
the State from the rule of the desructionists, it
was then the enthusiasm knew no bounds
Fifteen minutes after the stage arrived, extras
were to be seen upon the streets giving In full
the news as it came, and also calling jolli6ca-
tion meeting, to be held on Main street, Anvils
were then brought out and the hills that SUR
round the city were made to echo and reec bo
with the thunder tones that broke out clear and
sharp upon the still air, making known "to the
world and the rest of mankind" that the dawn.
ing OF the light had commenced, and that one
more Of the States that go to make up the bond
Of Union had spoken out in voice unmistaka-
BILE, "down with the tyrAnts down with the
Oond-holding and monied aristocracy who are

Down with the despots, and in favor of equal
rights and equal taxation p Those very same
reports had another significance, and the radicals
trembled when they heard them. They were
the "writiug upon the wall, the first gun that
will be taken up and answered from the West to
the East, and from the North and South back
again, of the defeat Of Grant aud final and com
pIste overthrow of mougrelisu in America, and
were as so many clods dropped upon the cofin
of departed guilt, at the burial next November.

BLAsPHEMY-The speech of Thad Ste
vens, in the impeachment trial, has been
highly commended by the radical press. We
admit that there is no accounting for tastes,
but we ask our radical friends-those of
them who have Eot lost all respect for re,
vealed relgiOn-what they think of the fol-
lowing extract:
"Baser than the betrayal by Judas Iscarot,
who betrayed only single individual, Johnson
saci6ced whole nation and the holest of prn-
ciples. In order to build up a party upon which
be was to rely, it became necessary for him to
proclaim entirely new principles and new pol
icy, and to bring about him an entirely new set
of politicians, as loose men enough already in the
republican party, could not be found to carry
him into power. Corruption, therefore, became a
necessity that corruption was to be wrought
by perverting the means, which the republicans
bad placed in his hands and which be had sworn
solemnly to execute according to their principles"
1t may be in accordance with radical ideas
to refer to the Saviour as "single individ-
ual," and desertion from that party may be
a more heinous offence than the betrayal of
the Saviour; but if So it must be in accord
ance with some new revelation.

-~~~~~~~~-@OS--~~~~~o~~l~
RADICAL ABUsE.-Dead Duck Foruey is one OF
the most violent be is the vlest of the radical
quill drivers who are now engaged in denounc-
ing Judge Chase, and the seven republican SEN
ators who refused to convict President Johnson,
without reference to the law or evidence. We
append the following as a specimen of the style
10 which Forney assails those who refuse to
carry out radical edicts:
"Chief Justice Chase is still devoting himself
to the corruption Of Senators, iu the interest OF
johnson. He yesterday dined the two Virginia
Senators because they were considered doubtful,
and recently closeted himself for three hours
with Senator Anthony, after dining him at his
house, and endeavored to overwhelm him with
legal assurances that the President ought not to
be convicted. he has devoted himself to this
shameless course with Senators ever since the
trial opened, and is doing nearly all the dirty
work of Johnson. His main assistant in this
disgraceful task is that soulless shadow Evarts,
who sold his political position to johnson for a
fee, and who is earning his price by lobbying
with Senators for acquittal. The managers yes
terday bad it under consideration to arrest him
for this unprofessonal and criminal conduct but
we're informed, while in deliberation, that be had
left town. General Sickles has recently learned
that be was removed from the Department OF
the Carolnas by Johnson at the express demand
of Chase. We can now begin to see how, be-
tween Johnson and Mr.. Chase, JEFF. Davis has
escaped"

NOVEL MoDEoF ELECTIoNEERING.-Geo.
Wilkes, one of the meanest of the radical
pack now engaged in assailing Judge Chase,

ing gentlemen TO take dinner with him, and
alter teasting them with the good things of
life, then attempting to win them over to the
support OF his political aspirations. Man
is said 10 be an initiative animal, and it is on
this principle, we presume, that one of our
citizens, who is thought to have "Congress
on the BRAIN" is in the habit of button
hOlelng his country friends, and dragging
them home to dine, and at the same time
never emitting to inquire, "What my chances

SOUTHERN STATEs.-The Southern States
which have not yet held elections on the
ratification Of the new constitutions, under
the reconstruction laws, are Virginia, Missis-
siPpi, and Texas. In Mississippi, the cons
vention has adjourned and the constitution
is about to be submitted to the people. In
Texas, convention. was to meet on the lst
June, and most likely would remain in ses-
sion several months. 1t is scarce likely that
Texas will be "reconstructed' in time to take
part In the Presidential election. The policy
of the radicals is to rush these States in under
negro control, and use the black element in
carrying them for the radical ticket. In
view of recent events, the plan is scarcely
likely to succeed

INrrMIpAr1oN. = Thad Stevens, in the
House of Representative, not unfrequently
carries his points by r5sOrting to intimida-
ton. In the Senate he tried the same system
of intimidation, but fortunately for the coun-
try, he there found men superior to the tao
tics of the prize ring. We quote from
Stevens speech
And now this offspring of assassination
turns upon the Senate who have thus rebuked
him in a constitutional manner, and bids them
defiance. How can be escape the just vengeance
of toe law Wretched man, standing at bay
surrounded by Gordon of living men, each with
the ak of an executioner uplifted for his just
punishment. Every Senator now trying him,
except such as had already adopted bis policy
voted for this same resolution, prououncing his
solemn doom. Will any one of them vote for
his acquittal on the ground ofits uncoustitution.
ality ? l know that Senators wonld venture to
do any necessary act if indorsed by an honost
conscience and an enlightened public opinion {;
but neither for the sake of the President, nor of
any one else, would one of them suffer himself
to be tortured on the gibbet of everlasting OBJ
loquy. How long and dark would be track Of
infamy which must mark his name and that Of
his posterity ?"
Imagine such language as this addressed
to Webster, Calhoun, Clay, and think
what the response would have been to SO
great an insult. Grave Senators compared
to "executioners," and told that a conscien-
tious discharge of duty is to expose them "to
be tortured on the gibbet of everlasting OBJ
loquy w In the face of even this denuncia-
ton, Fesseudeu, Trumbull, Grimes, Fowler,
Henderson, Ross, and Van Winkle, dared to
vote in accordance with the law and the evi.
dence, and acquitted the President. And for
so doing, according to this high priest of rad
icalism, their names are to be held in abhor-
renee. Doubtless this is Thad's opinion,
but unless we are greatly mistaken, the very
act which the radicals hold as infamous,
will be regarded 10 all time to come as their
crowning glory. Had they voted differently,
they could have read in the fate of the
English regicides the sure penalty for their
great crimes.
