The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1869-04-03

The proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution, adopted by both Houses of Con-
gress to be submitted to the States, reads
as follows:
The right of any citizen of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or alb
ridged by the United States, or any State,
on account of race, color, or previous con-
dition of servitudo.
The two Houses were quarreling for
some time about inserting, after the word
/" vote" the words 'or to hold Office. -
For the life of US we cannot sec the sense
of quarreling over so small matter. The
words cor to hold Office might as well
have been left in. There is distinction,
without any practical difference, between
the plan adopted and the one proposed
by the Senate. When once considera-
bic class in any State is admitted to the
ballot-box, it will soon wiring from politi-
cal leaders and demagogues-the control
lers of legislation-suficient concession
to admit to them the right to hold such
offices as the people may see fit to give
them. When we have sixty thousand
Chinese voters in this State-and we will
have them very soon, if the proposed
amendments finally adopted-it not be
long before the right of Chinese
to hold Office will be conceded. The latter
right follows the accession of the former
as naturally as a hungry dog follows UP
the scent of beef steak. We say moth

WHITE PINE ITEMS.

The White Pine News of March 9th,
contains the following items of news:
On Thursday last, some miners work.
ing in one of the old locations on the
Base Metal Range, came upon mass Of
ore rivaling in purity and value the best
of Treasure Hill. The ore was brought
to town, and assayed which proved to be
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 per tom
The story of its discovery soon became
noised abroad, creating a great excite
ment, and on Wednesday great rush of
prospectors, spectators, surveyors and
town locators commenced for that locality.
This rush continued through the week,
and every day hundreds made the trip to
the new discovery. The Point is about
one and half miles northeast of Treasure
City, although by the road leading there
it is about three miles. The locality is
known "pder the various names Of North
ern Light Hill, Chloride Flat So. 3 and
Base Range, but town has been laid out
and named Babylon, and such in future
we will designate it. 1t is a favorable
locality for mining, and should its rich
developments continue, we may expect
to see another glorious Babylon arise as
our neighbor.
Quite stir was created in the..neighbor-
hood of the Fberhardt mine few days
since, by the discovery of native gold and
silver in the La Monte mine, which is To-
Gated about two hundred and fifty fee
north Of the Eberhardt, and runs parable
with that great vein. The ore extracted
contained beautiful specimens, showing
both gold and silver in considerable quan
titles, besides the usual ore Of the lattel
metal. This is the first instance of find
ing gold visible in the rock that has come
to our notice The La Monte gives promise
of adding greatly to the reputation Of tina
already celebrated locality. 1t was discov

to commence work on it, which was il

ABOUT HORACE GREELEY.

TIE friends of Horace Greeley, in all
probability, think more of him, and his
enemies think less Of him, than they
should. He is certainly not all that his
friends suppose him to be, nor is he all
that his enemies imagine him to be. He
is not without good qualities, and yet he
has bad ones in abundance. We have
never seen a more fair or just photo
graph of anybody, than the following ex
tract from the Louisville Journal Is of
Horace Greeley. The Journal says:
awe hardly know how to estimate nj.
Greeley. His talent and his honesty are
unquestionable. His craftsmanship and
his practical wisdom are not. He is &C.
centric in thought and in action. His
mind, though massive, is not well-bal-
anced. He lets himself be deceived by
false lights. He often fails to distinguish
between star and chunk of fox-fre.-
His thoughts and conceptions are more
original than just. He is independent,
but he is frequently wrong. 1t is true
that he doesn't follow guides, but it is
equally true that he isn't fit to be a guide.
He lacks tact discretion, judgment. His
heart is right, but the connection be-
tween it and his head is often interrupt
ed. He means to obey principle, but he
IS all the time liable to mistake pref udice
for principle. He speaks and acts gen.
orally from impulse and not from calm,
comprehensive and philosophical view of
the great duties of leading citizen.
Horace Greeley is made up of incon-
sistcncies. Nature, in him, seems to have
given him no quality without throwing in
some countervailing quality. He is fond
of contradicting everybody else, and he
is a standing contradiction of himself
There is enough in him that is good tc
make two good men, and enough in hin
that is pestilent to make two pestilen
men. We shall be not unwilling to see 1
fair trial made Of him in any situation t.
