THE FIRST NOTES OF PREPARATION.

Elsewhere we publish the proceed
ings of the Democratic State Central
Committee, which convened at Port.
land last Monday. It was decided
by. the Committee to cali the State
Convention at The Dalles, Wednes.
day, April 10th, next, and that the
County Conventions to select dele.
gates be held on March 23rd. The
apportionment of Delegates to the
State Convention is much smaller
than heretofore-the ratio OF repre-
sentation being based upon 100 votes
for each delegate, instead of IS, as
previously. This reduces the repre-
sentation of Linn county from II at
the last Convention to IL for this one.
We believe this is judicious move,
as it will permit every county to have
fuller representation of its bona .ftie
Delegates in the State Convention
and will do away with the great mum.
Der of proxy votes which have hereto
fore been more of an injury than a
benefit to the party at large. 1t is
probable that there is no county in
the State but that can select full
number of Delegates who are willing
to attend the State Convention in
person, and it would doubtless be ad-
visable to make this demand of them
when selected by the several County
Conventions. There is no surer way
promoting harmony in the party
than by securing free and full ex-
preston of,he people of every section
atthe State Convention, which can only
be done through full attendance of
the Delegates chosen by the people
for that purpose.
The recommendation of Hon. BENZ.
Hayden, that Democrats throughout
the State Immediately organize Clubs
in each Precinct, will certainly meet
with the earnest approval and hearty
cooperation of every Democrat in the
State. The absolute need of such or
ganization must be apparent to every
one. and we trust that an early re-
sFonse to this recommendation will
be made. Let US once more marshal
the Democratic clans, rekindle our
Democratic watch-ires and again be
ready to meet and conquer our Radi-
cal foe. We can ,oin if we work; if
we do not, the fault is our own.

GROUNDS FOR IMPEACHMENT OF
THE PRESIDENT.

1t is not because an impeachment
of the present incumbent of the Pres.
idential Office would be groundless,
nor because his scandalous degrade

Gently discountenanced the mere SEN
sationalism of a New York journal on a
subject so grave. Were a movement
in good faith essayed for the recovery
of the chief magistracy to its consti-
tutional and traditional dignity, of
which but the vestiges remain, by the
displacement of Grant, rather than by
the more promising method of elect
ing statesman to succeed him, who
needs more than a suggestion to per-
ceive the manifold accusations, any
one of which under the legal principle
so strenuously denied against John
son, that to be impeachable the offence
must be analogous to crime or mis-
demeanor at common law, or by stat
ute, could be established against the
present despicable successor of Jack
Son and Washington?

gogues of foreign countries, with
whom no colorado treaty relations
existed, for the use of the ships, arms,
and men of the United States navy,
in furtherance of schemes OF personal
ambition and private plunder.

He instituted war with foreign

at perfect amity, in violation not only
OF the Constitution, which disables
the President for making war, but of
subsisting treaty stlpulations with
that Power.

We very much dislike to discuss
questions which arise within our own
ranks, and which are calculated to
divide and disrupt instead of tending
to cement and harmonize our party
but the persistency with which the
passive policy is urged upon the con
sideration of the great Democratic
party by numerous respectable and
influential journals of the party must
meet with as warm a disclaimer by
those of us who are desirous of stand
ing by the "ancient landmarks" and
preserving the old organization in.
tact. The passivists claim to be Sec
onded in their demands by Republi.
cans who stoutly insist that at least
one-fifth of the Radical party is op-
posed to Grant, and will not vote for
him provided they can find some one
else to vote for. But these dissatis.
fed Radicals go further and demand
that the Democracy must make no
nomination for the Presidency-that
this disaffected one.fifth of the Radi-
cal party will bolt Grant and nomi.
nate another Republican, and that this
nominee can Ebe elected provided the
Democrats all vote for him!
We certainly most sincerely hope
to see all who are opposed to Grant
vote for one and the same man and
elect him. But the great Democratic
party cannot afford to "pass" the
Presidential nomination in order to
propitiate the one-fifth of the Repub.
lican. party. We cannot afford to
sacrifice vital principle in order to
secure temporary triumph (f tri.
umph it might be called to beat one
Radical with another J even if that
triumph could be SO Obtained, which
we very much doubt. Such sacri
fee as that asked by the would-be
Radical voters is little too much

dental election, the Democratic party
only fell short of majority 16S,O00
votes-and when we remember that
Virginia, Mississippi, Texas and Flor
ida tall Democratic States) did not
vote at all at that election, and that
$4,000 Democratic votes in Missouri
alone were then disfranchised, we
can readily conceive how the Democ-
racy could have triumphed if there
had been full and free expression of
all the people of the Union at that
election.
It is useless, therefore. for doubt
ful one-ffth of the Radical enemy to
ask majority party-or one at least
which contains within its organization

Republican-to strike its colors in or

Republicans are sincere they will
