The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1868-10-31

revolutionary action OF the RADICAL
members. The Democratic members
have acted entirely in accordance
with the law. If no provision be
made to take care Of the insane, nor
to defray the various other expenses
of the Government, the blame rests
wholly upon the Radical members
and the Governor. It is well known
that he instigated this revolutionary
movement that he was in their eau
Gus, and that he even wrote out some
of the designations of those who have
resigned. So far from using his influ-
euce TO prevent them from resigning,
and thus elogging the wheels of leg
islation, and inaugurating q jacobini-
cal and revolutionary movement, he is
actually the chief of the eonspirators.
We have said this action on the
part of the Governor and the Radi-
cal members of the House, is rcvolu-
tionary. We mean what We say, and
we desire to impress this fact upon
the public. 1t is an attempt to retain
all the Offices in the hands of the Rad
ical party, and to rob and plunder the
public treasury. 1t is an attempt to
swindle the people. 1t is an attempt
to enrich few unscrupulous advcn-
turers and demagogues, by having
full control of the public monies for
the ensuing two years. Over six hum
dred thousand dollars will flow into
the Golfers of the State within this
time; and if no appropriation be
made ;-ifthe Legislature cannot form
a quorum ;-if they go home without
passing any more laws,-thcn the
Governor, and other State functional
ries will have the free and unrestricted
control of this large sum of money
during this period. They will take
the public money and use it without
let or hindrance. State warrants will
be issued. They will not be cancelled
for want Of an appropriation. What
is there to prevent those having con-
troll of these State funds from using
them for private purposes The pco-
pie pour these public funds into the
treasury; aud these same funds will
be used in buying up State warrants,
at ruinous discount, by these Radi-
cal leeches and vampires. And we
do not pretend to tell how much of
the peoples money they will steal
outright. What will there be to him
der?
In view of these facts-in view of
the fact that the Radicals have inau-
gnrated rcvolution-in view of the
fact that their evident intention is to
rob and plumber the trcasury-in
view of the fact that they will use
these means to opprcss, and tread
down, and enslaye the people-wc ad-
wise all county treasurers to hold fast
to the State funds now in their pos
session until such time IS our State
shall be extricatcd from its periIous
condition by legal and appropriate
legislation. They arc infinitely more
safe with them than they will be in
the hands of the blood-suckers, vam-
pires, anarchists, and revolutionists
who now control the State Offices.
In conclusion we say-if those to
whom the State is indebted do not
receive their money when due, let
them remember that the fault rests
upon the shoulders of the Radical
party headed by Gov. Woods. Radical
members resigned their seats in the
Legislature and thus broke up quo.
rum; and for want of quorum no
appropriations have been made; and
without appropriations no money can
be legally drawn from the treasury
IF the State printer is not paid the
sums to which he is justly entitled
if no provisions are made for keeping
the Insane of our State, and they are
turned out upon the cold charities of
the world as a consequence the
necessary appropriations have not
been made for the safe-keeping of the
convicts in the penitentiary and they
are turned loose to again commit their
depredations and crimes upon COM
munity in consequence no steam
tug shall be built and stationed at the
mouth of the Columbia in order to
establish direct communication with
Europe and thus reduce freights near
ly one-third, and in that proportion
reduce the prices ofnearly every thing
consumed by the people-if the public
money, for the next two years, shall
be used TO enrich set of character
less adventures, and harpies, and
eormorants,-if they steal, and rob,
and plunder the people-let them re-
