"Repudiation the Only Principle of the
Democratic PartyD

puOlatlOn the only tsrinclpIe OF the
Democratic Party"
During the heat of the debate on the
adoption of the 8th article of the plat
form in the Democratic Convention on
Wednesday night, one of the leaders of
the party in Oregon asserted, what the
Republican journals have been insisting
on all the time, that population as the
only principle IN the Democratic party.
And as there was but one member in the
whole Convention Casper johnson, of
Curry, who denied the proposition, we
are to understand that, however the plat
form may read, laying aside all verbiage
and meaningless sentences, the only rorih-
ci,ple, the whole end and aim of the DEM
ocracy of Oregon, is t-footed, square,
out aud out reputation of the public
debt. Member after member arose to
give in their adhesion to the principle,
but the majority, while saying that they
were not willing to pay the national debt,
yet they were not in favor of adopting
icpuoidetou dS d ptduh III Inc ptdlloi III !,
in the language of Reed, of Multnomah,
they were ''not willing to put burden
on the shoulders of their standard bear
ers that would trample them into the
dust" The whole discussion, prolonged
for near four hours, proved conclusively
that the majority if not all the dele
gates were in favor of reputation (''can-
collation." they termed it) of the debt,
and the fear, as stated by the gentleman
from Lane, that large portion of the
party were too honest to vote it, was the
only reason why the clause was CLOSED
over, SO as to sound honest to the masses.
So we go into the campaign, on the au.
thority of the Democratic State Conven-
ton, that Reputation is the only princi
pie of the Democratic party that it has
but one end and aim-dishonesty. This
we knew before, but it remained for the
great gathering of the chiefs of Democ
racy to clinch the matter, by bold and
unequivocal assertions of the fact And
with such a platform, can the honest mer
of Oregon vote the Democratic ticket
The enunciation of this principle was the
last straw needed to sink the already
overloaded and demoralized party. The
death-knell of Democracy in Oregon ha.
sounded.

ARREsTED.-On the arrival of the
Portland boat on Tuesday night, on which
were large number of delegates to the
Democratic State Convention, our worthy
Sheriff, Bob Irvine, with two deputies,
proceeded TO arrest one of the delegates
from Grant county, Mr.. E. f. Turk, in
dieted by the last Grand Jury of this
county for murder. This prompt action
on the part of our Sheriff rather took
Mr.. Turk by surprise, as he has been en-
joying his freedom, although under ar
rest in Grant county, the Sheriff of that
county being security for his appearance
here at the March term of the Court.
During the whole time of his arrest, as
We are informed, he was acting deputy
sheriff Of Grant county. And although
under arrest for the highest crime
known to the State, the Democracy of
Grant selected him as their delegate, to
represent their interests in the State
Convention. The Democrats of Grant
will be surprised that the brethering
down this way pronounced their selection
of delegate in this case as in bad taste,
and that the Democratic delegate was
arrested by Democratic Sheriff.

were candidates for office, that at
least two of them were engaged in a
pleasant little game of ''seven-up," in the

called to order for the purpose of organ

they were playing instead of ssargyfying," f"

GEN GRANTS I.ETTER.-DuriDg the

gold panic, much reference was made to
a letter addressed by the President to

September. The letter was alleged to
have an Endorsement of the Gould Cor
bin theory of high gold. The letter it
self is the best proof of its character, and
is as follows:

Circular.


Tie Delaware Association for the Moral I'M
provement and Education of the Colored people
of the State, beg leave, once more to present to
your notice the claims which this class of our
fellow citizens has on your consideration and
regard.
This Association has now, for four years, been
engaged in the arduous but most interesting
work of establishing in various localities
throughout Delaware, schools for the education
of the colored population of the State, and in
other efforts for their moral improvement and
elevation.
We have hitherto been aided in this work by
the National Bureau at Washington j.; as we'll as
by earnest friends of the cause of universal ed
ucation, in our own and other lands With their
assistance, we have been able to establish about
thirty schools throughout the State, having over
1000 different names on their rolls; and have
erected in various places, suitable school houses
for their accommodation.
In this work we have collected and expended
over sirty.fUe thousand dollars very small
proportion of which has been derived from the
white population of Delaware. The sources from
which this income has been drawn are now
almost entirely cut off, and we shall be obliged
to rely for the future, in great measure, upon
the localities wherein such schools now exist, or
shall hereafter be established, for their pecunary
support
fellow-ctizens of all classes, without regard TO
past prejndices, and without distinction to
party, race or color,-to assist us in this great
work.
We are willing to continue the oversight and
care of these schools to aid in the selection Of
Teachers and in insuring supply of suitable
school books and generally in the maintenance
of systematic and efficient organization for the
moral Improvement and Education of the Col
ored Race.
| Shall we be allowed to fail in our work in Dol
aware at this late day, when all throughout the
Southern States, one universal effort is making,
with the general acquiescence of all parties, and
| of all classes, white and colored, to elevate and
educate the rising generation
| We have no political purposes to promote, and
no sectarian principles to inculcate among the
Colored People of our State. A simple, elemen-
tary, scriptural education to fit them 30 far as
| we are able, for the proper discharge of the new
responsibilities and duties go suddenly deyolying
u ,un them for usefulness in this world and hap
ninets in the world to come; this is the only OBJ
iert and aim OF our Association.
We appeal to good men of all parties, not
only individually, but through such civil or reli-
gious association as may be deemed most snita-
Bile to extend to our schools, in their respectiv Q
neighborhoods, the assistance needed for their
efficent supporS tit

WORK OF THE DELAWARE ASSOCIATION FoE TIM
YEAR.
In this State, the work OF educating the coloret
children has been carried on, under the superin
tendence Of the Delaware Association for the
Moral Improvement and Education of the
Colored People," Funds have been procured by
private subscription, and by the voluntary pay
ments of the colored people, and assistance in
building school houses has been, till lately, &c.
cured from the Freedmen's Bureau.
There seems, however, to be discouraging
prospect ahead ut present. The sources Of
revenue on which the Association has depended,
are either largely reduced or totally cut off. At
the close of the last school year, al schools were
open "a teachers were at work, and 1470 children
enrolled as pupils. Thus far this year, only q
few schools have been opened, and these only in
localities where some special pledge for their
maintenance has been made. The Howard
School, with two departments, Primary and
Normal, opened in this city, on October 18th. 1t
is hardly yet in working order, but has 40 pupils
in the former, and 80 in the latter department.
Mr. W. II. Coles, formerly of Virginia, but now
member of the Junior Glass Of Lincoln Univer-
slty, at Oxford, Pa, has just been secured to
take charge of the primary department.
At aliddletown, Mt. Pleasant, and New Castle,
schools are just opened. The colored people
have pledged to pay both the salary and board of
the teachers. (Heretofore, they paid only the
board, the Association paying the salary) AT
Odessa, benevolent gentleman has pledged
certain amount, which will probably suffice, with
the active exertions Of the colored people, them
selves, to keep the school open. At Frederick,
also, special arrangement has been made.
In all these cases, the Delaware Association
retains oversight of the operations and employs
the teachers. 1t will of course, do as much more,
this winter, as the benevolence and philanthropy
of the public, by subscription of funds, shall
make possible. No one can deny the worthiness
of the cause.

Child Murder Mt Lewes.

THE REMAINS OF TWO INFANTS FOUND IN VA
CANT HOTEL.
The Milford Mutual Friend, tells the following
terrible story:
Zone day last week, Mr.. Steven Hazard
was having the United States Hotel, at Lewes,
cleaned out preparatory to taking possession Of
the institution as landlord. On entering room
which had remained unoccupied since last sum
mer, he noticed blanket rolled up, lying on the
floor, and at once picked it up and proceeded to
open it to see what it contained. What was his
his establishment on beholding it's contents! the
dead and decayed body of an infant placed there
by some inhuman hands, 1t is white child and
il is supposed, was left there by some visitor, du
ring the season. Its discovery of course, crea-
ted considerable excitement, which was greatly
increased when the fact became known that the
remains Of another child had been discovered in
an old basket in the attic. OF course, it is more
than probable that the mystery which surrounds
the discovery of these remains is likely to re-
main unsolved, and by whom and under what
circumstances the children were left there must
be left to conjecture.

To the colored people themselves we would
also address, once more, a few words Of encour,
agement and hope. Much has been done for
you. and by you, within the past four years but
much more yet remains to be dono and to
accomplish 1t successfully, 9 renewed and perse-
vering effort on your part is reqdired. Do not
be discouraged by the apathy and GOODNESS which
this cause Of universal education may encounter
even at the hands Of it's professed friends; still
less by the direct opposition Of It's open and
avowed enemies.
We are renewedly convinced that this endeavor
--persevered in, amid many difficulties - to
elevate and relieve His oppressed children has
been owned by our Heavenly Father as His
cause; that He will continue to bless and protect
1t; and that in due time He will crown our efforts
with an abundant success and peaceful reward
