The man who votes for Mr.. Williams,
with these facts staring him in the face,
puts no value upon integrity in office.
He becomes an accessory after the fact
to O transaction that would disgrace
Florida carpet-bagger. He has ,nei-
ther interest in the welfare of his State
nor decent regard for the opinions
of his fellows. And Mr.. Williams we
think will find that he has very much
mistaken the character of the citizens
of Oregon, that corruption here wins
not more than honesty" that his at
tempt to pack a Legislature Is abor-
tive. We commend to him the exam
pie of other distinguished politicians
of the school to which he belongs, and
advise him to sell out his newspapers,
abandon his colonization scheme for
Polk and Benton counties, give up his
idea of carrying votes with Indian ap-
preparations, put up his greenbacks,
pack his things, and, so soon as his sem
atorial term expires, emigrate to South
Carolina or Alabama where reconstruc-
ton has opened field for display of
his peculiar talents and the exercise of
his disreputable practices.

a CONVERT. WITH REASONS.

ATr. Justin Chcnoweth, of Clacka-
mas county. longtime Republican
and brother of Judge /Chenowcth of
Benton county, writes n letter to the
Enterprise in which he declares his
separation from the Republican party
and his determination to net with the
Democracy.
Mr.. Chenoweth's letter is sensible
and dispassionate statement of objcc-
tons to and against the Republican
organization, and shows in its spirit
and substance that the writer is not
moved by reasons of personal disap-
pointment or orresentment, but by such as
become candid and thinking man
and citizen. His reasons for herald
ing through the medium of news
paper change of party allegiance, is
the hope of exerting some influence
on the minds of others and of induc-
ing them to do likewise. The writer
says:
1.-The working men Of the nation. by coalition
and cooperation, insure succsss to either one.
and control Its action while in power. Governed
By this idea let inquire which Of these parties
Cow organized Is acting more favorable 10 ns
n class. We will find the Republican party Is
un quivocally committed 10 a demand for cheap
labor, aud nigh protection for certain kinds oI
manufactures. Ii holds within its ranks thc
chief m0nopolsts Of the country, aud aids by lis
action the Capitalization Of wealth in their hands
On the other side we find the Democratic party in
favor OF iree-trade, or a tariff for revenue pur-
poses only, aud advocating other measures which
tend TO counteract the domination Of the capital
ist over the laboring classes"
There is the case, stated forcibly a &c
concisely, by man who cannot be nc
cused of speaking as pa Juan. fol
his sympathy and afiliAtion for years
has been with The party denounced
one who has keen forced Reluctantly
to seek new party associates as pat

Working men in the Republican party
to whom these reasons appeal just al
earnestly as they do to Mr.. Cheno
weth, and their highest patriotic dutJ
requires them to do just as he has
done. "The Republican party is une
quivocally committed to demand fol
cheap labor and high protection fol
certain kinds of manufactures. .
No man can deny that platform.

How Is THIs.-The telegraph saws
that Mr.. Sheridan Shook, a revenue
official, has been arrested for some
shortcoming in Office. BY this we
know that Dir. Sheridan Shook is a
revenue official under Mr.. Grant, and
yet who was there so active in securing
the acquittal of BIr. johnson by the
Senate +? If we are not mistaken. Mr..
Shocks name figured conspicuously in
the report Of those gentlemen who
unearthed the secrets of the telegraph
Offices at Washington, and who made
it appear to the entire satisfaction of
the impeachers that Shook, Woolery
and others were the managers of a
ring organized with a large capital,
and disbursing immense sums to se-
cure acquittal.
Now how is it that Grant selects
Shook for an appointment? And has
he given Woolery anything, and. after
Shook, why not?
