NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

Some Radicals in Oregon declare
that they are not in favor of Negro
Suffrage, and they contend that their
party is against it also. But every
act of the Radical party is in favor of
the odious doctrine. Congress has
conferred, and is comforting that right
upon the negroes of the South. Con-
gress-adopted the l4th Amendment to
the Constitution, and that not only
gives negroes the right to vote, but
every person-negroes, Indians, greas-
ers, Cinnamon &c.-born in the Uni
ted States the right of suffrage. All
the leaders of the party arc in favor
of it; and the rank and file are follow
ing hard after them.
We have before us n set Of Rcsolu.
tons recently adopted by the Upper
Iowa Conference" and their first and
second resolutions read thus:
"Resolred. That we believe the time he's come
IN the history OF our c0uuITY Nntn tue Ttgnt OF uni
versal suffrage should be extended to all classes
Of loyal citizens"
HRcsolred. That in tho organization of our civ
II government there should be guaranteed 10 erery
person a perfect equality in national. eipiI and Po-
titieal rights.
There Is not only negro suffrage for
you, but universal suffrage.
The Cincinnati Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, at its
late session in Urbana, Ohio, at which
100 preachers attended, heartily APP
proved the reconstruction acts of Con.
gress, and especially those measures
which aim to make all men equal be,
fore the law" They also approved
the pending amendment" which was
then before the people of Ohio, which
proposes TO strike out the word
"white" from the Constitution of the
State.
a contemporary says 1t gives no
pleasure to any man Of right feelings
to either publish or read such as the
above. It is humiliating, deeply and
painfully humiliating, that such bod.
les of protested Christian ministers
connected, rs they are, with SO large
wealthy and influential n dcnomina
ton, should so far forget themselve,
and the true character of their Office
as ministers, rs TO turn their ecclcsias
teal courts into scmi-political gather
ings. 1t BODIES no good, but evil and
evil only.

SAVE THE STRAw.-We recently
had a conversation with James =.
Hogue, Esq, an intelligent farmer of
Linn county, about the Importance OF
saving oat and wheat straw. 1t seems
that many farmers in Oregon burn
their straw, dccming it n waste of
time to attempt TO save il, and the
winters being generally SO mild here
that stock will not eat 1t because they
can obtain that WHICH suits them bet
ter. But Mr.. II. contends that this ID
bad policy. He V all his straw.
from year to year, putting it up ia
ricks or stacks shaped something like
an inverted conc, in order that they
may shed rain well. He says that
straw docs not spoil or rot in this
country near as quick as in the States
and that, in many eases where it is
thought that straw is worthless, be,
cause it is d~iscolorcd, the reverse is
true; the Dutriment is still there, and
for food for cattle it is as good as ev.
er. He says that in 1862 he saved ff
ty or sixty head of cattle with a straw
rick of two years standing and dur
ing this winter (Is6s) he should have
run short of feed, and lost stock, If hc
had not had plenty of straw on hand.
some of which is two or three years
old, and yet nutritious as eve
1t seems to us that the farmers o.
Oregon would do well to follow Mr.
Hogue's example. 1t will cost but
very little to put it up; and even i
never eaten by stock, it will serve as
a shelter and beds for them; or In
process of time it may be rottcd and
serve to enrich the land. We do no,
presume to offer farmers advice; but
it does seem to us that this thing o
burning up the straw, viewed in any
light, is an extremely suicidal policy
