The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1870-04-08

Connecticut is first called in the roll
of States after tho completion OF the
18th amendment infamy, and Connee-
ticut records her vote for the Democ-
racy by n most decided and unexpect-
ed majority. In 1868 Mr. Grant car
ried the State by q majority Of 3,O45.
In 1860 Jewell, Republican, for Gov
einor, received q majority over Eng
lish Of 411. Returns from the cleo
ton just had concede the election Of
English over Jewell by 1000 majority
and show Democratic gains in oil parts
of the State. The Senate, Republi-
can last year, is probably Democratic
now. The telegraph generously says
that the Democrats are as jubilant as
the weather will permit. Mr.. Grant
sent words of Aattery to tickle the ear
of Connecticut and induce the triumph
of his party there, and brave Connecti-
cut thunders her reply in his face.
Oregon will see Connecticut's 1000 and
so her 1000 better.

LOGAN IsLABS.

Logan, of Illinois, has pcrpetrated
n speech III the House almost MS start
ling to his political associates rs that
of Dawes. We are enabled to give
our readers considerable portions of
what has been telegraphed. 1t seems
tha: Logan, in supporting bill TO re-
organize the army, gave ofensc to
Gen. Sherman, who proceeded TO as
sail that gentleman in IT letter, the
language of which was less creditablc
to the writer than 10 the man written
Iabout. The pugnncious Logan retort-
ed upon the renowned marauder in n
most Gcathing manner. "He quoted
against Sherman an extract from his
report to the Secretary OF War, rec
,ommcnding plan for reduction and
reorganization of the army, with re-
gard to the reduction Of pay OF gerer-
al officers. He said the President
might have told Sherman that his sal
ary should not be reduced, but that
was not his Uogan's) opinion. 1t
might be that Gen. Sherman with
smaller pay could not give dinners and
receptions, bat he Iogan) did not
care anything about that. In defense
OF tax-paying people, aid crippled
soldiers and soldiers widows, he pro-
tested against the usurpation of power
in the hands of few men. lie pro-
tested against the attempt of men il
high 20 jitions TO dictate the Legislation
of Congress. The Legislative Depart
mcnt Of the Government must be free
and unfcttcred. lie would say to
those men in high positions that they
were not lawmakers but obeycrs; that
they must not dictate about the taxa
ton 10 be paid for their benefit; when,
ever legislation became so sti1SieneC
and crippled that If u man who stood
up for the people in n manly, honest
proper spirit was to be attacked in tho
columns OF the papers by high officials
demanding that Congress shall no
do certain things. then he woult
say farewell to the liberties OF tn.
country. He wanted to know wheth
er this attack meant that the countr,
was to be turned over to few aristo
Gratis as in Europe; whether title
were to be born whether casts wer
to be established whether an orde
of nobility was TO grow up here? Th
people were honest, brave and true =
! it was the boys who carried musket
who made Generals. 1t was they ais
: who made Presidents He stood her
to defend the liberties of the people
; and whether assailed by Generals c
: Marshals, by Governors, Kings, Psin
ces or potentates, by newspapers o
) aristocrats, he would still be foun,
making war against dictation and die
tators."

The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1870-04-08

We respectfully call the attention of
the O,egonian to the fact that when
we declared the charge Of reputation
made against the Democracy of Ore
gon ''slanderous and false" we spoke
by the record. The Democratic State
Platform. adopted in 1866, said
{. Resoiesd. That the assumptions Of the o;po-
stion that the Democratic party Is 10 favor gf r.
paiia,ins ;e public debt. aai that !, Is tn favor
Of notification #nd secession arc sianieraus aud
false.
Dir. Fay ran upon that platform and
was its able exponent in every county
in Oregon, and we think this circuIn-
stance iustifies us in saying that the
charges of reputation made against
him are slanderous and false. and we
believe they are no less false respect
ing Mr.. Slater and COL Kelley, the
Platter of which gentlemen was also
upon the ticket with Dir. Fay.
The positions assumed by gentlemen
who are not candidates can cut no
figure in the election, yet we cannot
permit such shameful and persistent
misrepresentation to pass unnoticed.
There is nothing equivocal about our
position upon the public debt. The
Democratic party IS not in favor of re-
pudiation and never will be unless
driven to it by the universal law of
self-defense, when the tyranny of tax
es and the exactions of the moneyed
class leave the people no other means
of safety. There is nothing uncertain
in the language of the resolution quo
ted; there is nothing uncertain in the
Language of the platform of two years
ago:
Resoired, That good faith and justice TO all Ie-
rnand that the public debt shall be paid in like
currency cor.racted, and favor actioa by
Congress submitting Unitcn States securities to be
taxed as other property.
The last National Platform declared
in favor of payment of the public
debt OF the United States as rapidly
as possible"
We trust that this will suffice for
this subject, and if not, we are ready
to forward one of Pendleton's speech
es where the subject is discussed in
all its length and breadth. These
facts ought to be patent to all, and if
the Oregonian fails to understand them
hereafter, it shan't be our fault. We
trust that though dreadfully slow in
arriving at correct understanding of
the status of the Democratic party on
the debt question, it will be equally
slow in getting wrong again. A les
son learned with SO much difficulty
ought to be well learned.
