valuable forests, coal fields, and rich
mineral deposits, will be called into
requisition, to add to our wealth, and
make an enlarged industry profitable.
Our streams will be lined with manu-
factories, and an enlarged commerce
will make this road o source of great
wealth to Oregon in aiding to develop
its resources Favorable arrangements
are made with capitalists ut the East,
but they demand that the people of
Oregon shall themselves take an inter
est in the enterprise, and lend it a rea-
sonable amount of aid aud as We
have already mentioned, the contrac-
tors, A. J. Cook & CO., are willing to
give every purchaser of stock a writ
ten guarantee to redeem the same in
two years. time, If the holder thereof
desires. The question will naturally
arise in every mind: "Why do we get
worcestershire stock issued to us by
paying ten cents on the dollar 2" that
is to say, why do we receive n c%ertifi-
cate that we have fully paid fora share
of the common stock, calling on it's
face for one hundred dollars, by pay
ing onc-tenth of that sum? The an
swer is very simple and plain. The
Company has borrowed %nine-tenths OF
the cost of the road at the East, and
each share of tho common stock, or
the property of the Company which
it represents, is therefore mortgagcd
for ninc.tenths of its value. The stock
holder therefore buys it subject to the
mortgage, and there is only ten dollars
due thereon, or in other words there
is a credit of ninety dollars on each
share, represented by the bonds the
Company issues, and the stock,
holder purchases, knowing that the
stock is pledged for 90 per cent.
of its value, and for 7 per cent. inter.
est per annum thereon.

THE NATIONAL FINANCES.

The radical leaders have a good deal
to say-some of them do-about the
National Finances; but, when all
summed up and expressed in few
words, it amounts simply to this, viz
/. To hold that the law provides
that the bonds shall be paid in gold ;
or, falling in this, then,
2. To bring into disrepute and drive
out of existence the legal tender notes,
so that there will be nothing but coin
to pay with, and thus accomplish the
same thing in an indirect way. Or,
failing in this, then,
8. To fund the whole debt in gold
bonds upon q pretended necessity ola
longer time, and q reduced rate of in
tcrest.
4. As auxiliary to the foregoing
measures, to contract the currency
and make the debt as burdcnsome as
possible.
This is what the radicals are trying
to do, and will do unless hurled out
place and power by an indignant peo-
pie.
In opposition to this the Democracy
hold that the law provides that all
the bonds, except the lo.4o's, may be
redeemed with greenbacks a. par
BY order of the Government, the fol
lowing words are engraved on the
back of every legal tender note issued
under the act of Feb'y 25, 1862.
This Is . legal tender for all debts, public aud
private. except duties on imports and Interest on
the public debt, and IL exchangeabls for United
States six per cent. twenty years bonds, redeema-
bic at tho pleasure Of the United States after ave
years"
Again, on the back of each note IS
sued under the act of July II, 1862,
is the following:
"Thi note l. a legal tender for NIL debts public
aud private. except duties on imports aud interest
on the public debt, aud Is receivable in payment
for all loans made to the United States"
The Democracy hold, that as the
bondholdcrs purchased their bonds
with greenbacks, OF par, when green.
backs were worth only 40 to so cents
on the dollar and as they receive
their interest in gold; and as they
have, in this manner, actually receiv-
ed already as much as they originally
paid for their bonds, it would be the
rankest injustice to the people to can
eel the principal of the bonds with
gold. The bondholders have already
been amply reimbursed for their out.
lay. Besides, if rags are good enough
for the farmer, the laborer and the
mechanic, they should be good enough
for the bondholder.
Democrats would wipe out the
$3o0,0oo,OOo National currency, by
issuing grcenbacks sufficient to cancel
the bonds deposited as security thus
giving a better currency, and reliev.
ing the people of the heavy burden
of paying $2o,ooo,ooo gold interest
annually.
Democrats, though strenuous advo'
Gates of the hard money currency, op'
pose the further contraction of the
currency at the present time. Gould
the Democracy have had their way
the people would have nothing but
hard money now. But the country
has been flooded with currency by
the Radical party, and a condition o
things has thus been inaugurated
which it will take years and years tc
modify essentially.
Let the people decide which is the
better policy.

DOWN WITH THE CONsTITU.
TION.

We have repeatedly charged that
the Radical party, in many of their
measures, are acting outside of the
Constitution. In support of this
charge we call attention to the sub
Joined from Thaddeus Stevens, which
he delivered a short time since in the
House when the Alabama bill was un-
der consideration:
81 am often reminded by gentlemen around me
some very wise and some otherWise-that I have
said more than once that all this is outside Of the
Constitution. He is otherwise who thinks that
assertion is not true. This very proceeding shows
that this House believes that it is acting not ac-
eOrding to the forms Of the Constitution, which
found no such cases of lapsed territory to be form
ed into communities and brought into the nation.
When West Virginia was introduced land I first
made that declaratiOnO it was admitted by q ma
joElty Of the House, on the ground that it had gone
through with the forms Of Constitution in acquir-
ing the consent of both States, while one had ceas-
ed TO exist long before, and the other one existed
in Ohio. And I voted for the admission of that
State, but l was not going to make either a fool or
aknaEe Of myself, and TO say that / voted for il
under the Constitution, or that I did not know
what l was voting for. held then, as | hold now,
tn4t having conquered That territory from another
power "a power recognized as an independent bel
ligerent by al the sovereign nations Of the EARTH,
by ourselves as well as others. we had right to
treat It as such, and to take It in or keep it out, az
We pleased. I said then that the Constitution had
nothing to do with it,
Stevens knows, and has the candor
to acknowledge, that they are all act.
ing outside the federal Constitution.
He justiies his action, not on the
ground of its constitutionality, but on
the ground that the South is conquer
ed territory, and that hence we have
''a right to take it in or keep it out, as
we please"
