MRS. pAHLeRENls MOpEsrY.

Mrs. Dahlgren is a Uery modest
woman. An invitation was recently
extended to her and others sharing her
views, to publicly debate the question OF
suffrage before the Woman Suffrage
Convention at Washington City. Mrs.
Dahlgren replies thus:
'Tn reply to this invitation, for which
we thank you in so far as it may have
been extended in n true desire to elecit
fair argument, we would remind you
that in the very fact of soliciting us to
hold debate on a public platform, on
this or any other question, you entirely
ignore the principle that ourselves and
our friends seek to defend, viz: the pres
ervation of female mOdesty."
To show just how far her modesty
goes, we append the following from the
same reply:
1--WE publish written articles, giving
our reasons for the faith that is within
u.s. because we may consistently with
the home life and its duties, make such
use of whatever talents God may have
cOnfided to our keeping. To these
printed articles, in which we have fully
and at different times explained our
views, we are happy to refer you.
We likewise hold that an appeal to
the public made in this manner is much
more likely to evolve a clear apprehen-
sion of this important subject as repre-
senting a strict issue to the reasoning
faculties, and one undimmed by those
personalities which generally are in
dulged in during the course of our oral
debate.n
So excessively "modest" that she can
not speak before an audience of a few
hundreds, but nevertheless sees no in
consistency in transferring the contro-
very to the broader arena of the news
papers and magazines, where it may
reach the eyes of millions
Mrs. Dahlgren's "modesty" amounts
to just about this: That she knows per-
fectly well that she or any of her parti-
sans would come off second best in such
an intellectual encounter as the one pro.
posed.

HOAXED AGAIN,

The Democrat has been hoaxed by
"private conversationalists" again. We
thought he had enough of that kind OF
Justification a few weeks since when
somebody set him after us about a
''private conversation" which we never
held. But now somebody" has told
him that we called Paul "crusty old
bachelor" and ''soundly berated him"
and so forth. Also, that 1--WE boasted OF
having 'bossed' the State Temperance
Convention, and asserted that we gained
our point over the united opposition OF
that body" Brother, we're afraid you
are becoming afflicted with "softening
of the brain" How on earth could we
have gained our point, even over bare
Dlqjority of opposition? We did boast,
and here repeat, that the brains and
numbers Of that Convention were on
our side, and this compliment was not
given upon ouseJ but upon that intel
ligent delegation, who almost unan-
imously voted for our resolutions.
Change your private advisers, brother.
They persist in stuffing your one-sided
pate with lies.

EDITORIAL SOURRILITY.

Brother Brown of the Albany Demo
crat is a man Of many good impulses,
but his desire to NEEDLE in the private
business of the editor of this paper has
become so offensive that we are COM
PEELED to rebuke it. For the information
of the public we will state that Mr.. Dun
ilcdy is no more prominently before the
public in any capacity than is Mrs.
BroloR. He is a gentleman of ire
prOachable habits and character, and
the hOnored father of large family.
And the fact that he and his loyal wife
and children are able to live harmoni-
ously together, and work devOtedly for
the united interests of the household
and the public must be very narrowing
to the feelings of our brother editor, who
would vastly prefer to raise "muss" in
the family by editorial filings against a
gentleman, whose every act entities him
to public and private respect.
In our school-days we sometimes saw
big, burly boys get worsted in intel
lectual contests with wise and sprightly
girls, and then, instead of owning them
selves beaten and acknowledging the
fact like gentlemen, they would mount
the gate-post outside and cry out to the
victors as they passed, "YoT mother,
mean ~
AS we know that our readers are al
intelligent enough to correctly apply the
moral to which this story points, W,
leave it with them. Rrother Brown, d,
yOU see it?

ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE.
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
Albany sends greeting.

EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
Albany sends greeting.
Spring is advancing, although the
rains have not ceased their patter upon
our mOss-grOwn roofs. The grass is
springing up to the surface and desper-
ately struggling for an existence. The
willows and other shrubbery are putting
forth their foliage. From the cold,
gloomy, rainy months of winter we are
gradually, almost imperceptibly, glid-
ing into the brighter days of early
spring.
With the resurrection of spring comes
a revival of office-seeking among the
politicians. The Lion of Linn endeav-
ors to roar, but in his efforts creates
about as much enthusiasm as the bray
OF the animal that on one occasion
donned the lions skin in order that he
might pass for the king of beasts. Yer
lily the cub has seen his best days; and
though he may roar never so loudly, his
party has a just appreciation of his ser
two very necessary qualifications in a
representative of the people. But the
lack of good, honest, hard sense does not
necessarily disqualify him as political
candidate for any position nowadays.
The Temperance question is assuming
an Importance and acquiring an infiu-
ence that sneers will not check, nor
jeers appall. Hence the Democratic
party are now in a quandary as to what
policy to pursue. TO throw overheard
the whisky-preserved plank in their
platform cannot for moment be thought
of. There would be nothing left. They
dare not endorse any action of the Tenn
perance Convention for fear of the whis-
ky ring, which would bristle all over
with threats.
Our people are tired of the economy of
our present county officers. Our new
ten thousand dollar Jail is one of its pet
institutions. If the Republicans are
sharp they ought to carry Old Linn this
year.
Albany people are very anxious for a
new postmaster. The present one has
been in Office so long that he is about
worn out, and ought to be hauled off toT
repairs. Wonder if the Administration
has to keep him in office to secure his
support?
The Woman Suffrage question is max
ing progress surely. 1t has many warm
adherents here, and is looked upon by
Temperance leaders as the only saliva
tion for thorough temperance reform
throughout our country.
Yours truly, SHEBA.

MISREPRESENTATION.

The Salem Mercury and Eugene Jour
nal, in their frantic efforts to make cap
ital against truth and justice, have each
resorted to the last dodge of whipped
opponents, namely, miseonstruction of
words and meaning. Says the Mercury.
Mrs. Duniway in her lecture at this
place last Saturday evening asserted
that Uncle Dickey Henderson openly
pronounced in favor of the unwoman
movement after hearing her lecture at
that place. Now, come, Mr.. Journal,
own upi Mrs. Duniway says Dickey is
on 1t, and you know she is an "honora-
bic man."
The Eugene Journal is delighted TO
find the above in the columns of con-
temporary whose word he would not
take upon oath in any partisan matter,
and proceeds to comment as follows:
Mrs. Duniway is claiming n victory
that she never won when she claims TO
have converted Mr.. Henderson to the
doctrine of woman Suffrage. We pre-
sumo that her lecture made no impress
sion upon Mr.. HIS mind, as il was
made up on that subject long before he
ever saw Mrs. Duniway.
Now, when journals which we have
always treated fairly, courteously and
respectfully-and we will certainly treat
them in no other way-condescend to
such low lodges, they but prove to SEN
sible readers the untenable position they
hold.
We did not say in public or in private
that ace had converted Uncle Dickey."
We mentioned Mr.. Henderson's name
among a score or more of other minis
ters whom we We're proud to claim as
champions for Woman Suffrage, and
stated that he had openly proclaimed
himself as such at our lecture in Eu-
gene-only that and nothing more. We
have been an intimate friend of Mr..
Henderson's for many years. He pro-
claimed himself an advocate of our
cause in one of the first issues of the
New NORTHWEST. He had brain
enough to be convert to the principle
on its own merits, and we are very sorry
that we cannot say rs much for the
frightened falsifiers at Eugene and Sa-
lem who fire paper squibs at Eternal
Truth.
Because Mr.. Henderson has backbone
enough to stand by Suffrage and Tenn
perance, we proclaim him our man foI
some big office. Democrats dislike him
because he whipped them once; Repub-
licans dislike him because he's not fol
sale. We like him for both of these rea-
sons, and shall see him triumph some
day, too

ALBANY, March 5, 1872.
DEAR NEW NORTHWEST:
To give our readers an idea of the de-
lights of an itinerant lecturer we have
sharpened our pencil and taken our seat
to particularize.
Was going from Albany to Corvallis.
Waited twenty-four hours to go by the
boat. Went to Brenner's hotel and put
up for the night. Asked when the boat
would start. Answer, at six. Gave in
junction to be called up in time for the
boat. Was called at half past three.
Hurried; got ready. Halls dark; no
fires. Nobody astir but a stupid watch
man and savage dog. Asked for fire
IN the parlOr. A gentleman from Ben
ton county, whose honest face we would
be willing to trust anywhere, built a
fire. Sat there listening for the boat
and wondering why nobody was on
hand to see about anything. After an
hour or two the boat whistIed. Once
twice. M'ist be off now, for she'll 90 in
fifteen minutes. Watchman pokes his
head in at the door and says, "You'H
have to hurry or you won't make it."
Thought we must ''make it." No lam
tern; no porter; nobody belonging to
the house on hand Gentleman from
Benton kindly shouldered valise and
accompanied us through the rain and
storm and darkness. Missed the wharf.
Stumbled through the mud. Stumbled
down some steps. Waded. Hurried
All to no purpose. Missed the boat
Back to the hotel a madder but visor
woman. Told Brenner he knew how to
Keep hotel. Got thanked for the COM
pliment. Landlord wanted us to know
that his was zone horsen hotel. with
out any connection with steamers
Agreed with him. Washed the mud
from our shoes; but great rolls of it are
still clinging to our skirts with a tenae-
lty more enduring than pleasant. Much
Obliged to the gentleman from Benton.
Concluded the nights lodging at the
Motel was nuisance. And as we sit
mere scribbling away at the facts thus
fresh in our memory, we warn all wom-
en- who can beg or hire or accept-we
could have done any or all-aecommo-
datiOns among the citizens of Albany to
trust not the delusion that they will be
able to make connection with the boat
to Corvallis by taking nights lodging
at the zone horse hotel"

a SOUND JOURNALISTIC CREED
The New York Mail, under the above
heading, has this to say:
ITO tell the news fairly, honestly, and
interestingly; to aid in all good causes;
to excuse abuses and stimulate reform; to
represent the most liberal thoughts and
highest tendencies of the time; to well
come all schemes that promise good; to
encourage all human enterprises; to
stimulate the love of knowledge, taste
for art and the culture of all the better
parts of our nature; to sustain good gov
ernment and honest rulers, and to con-
denim and upset the bad-these are few
of the resources of a newspaper that has
no quarrel with its neighbor, and that
sticks closely to its purpose of living at
peace with all mankind. a journal that
uses these means of making itself inter-
esting and useful, with any decent degree
of ability, will not fail because it is free
from abusive controversial articles"
A very good creed to profess and prac-
tice, but far too sound on one point to
the newspapers that have undertaken to
force Mr.. Grant upon the country for life.
These would lose their occupation in
stanter if they had to Sustain good gov
ernment and honest rulers, and to con-
denim and upset the bad.n The majority
of Republican papers that believe that
Grant is the only Republican out of Jail
fit for the Presidency could no more exist
without espousing lawlessness and
whitewashing corruption than could q
fish out of water.-Chds. 4. Dana.

SIDE ISSUES.

An able article appears in the Oregon
Republican on the question of Woman
Suffrage, from the pen of Mr.. McNIinn
Dodson. We have room only for a por-
ton of the concluding paragraph, which
disposes of the "side issues" by saying
that 'tmany are the side issues aiming
to be lugged to this question that are
entirely foreign, among which are Spir-
itualism, Free Love and loosing of the
bond of matrimoy, which all sensible
people cast entirely out of the question,
knowing that if engrafted, women would

AOEPHALOUs.

Wanted-The decapitated Democracy
sadly need head. While the Republi-
can party, unfortunately, has so many
heads that a very small portion of them
only can have any hope to get sip at
public spoon, the Democratic party,
more unfortunate still, hasn't any head
at all.
Occasionally a little semblance of vi
tality is galvanized into some of the re-
moter members of its headless carcass,
but the motions thus created are frantic,
futile and foolish; consequently we find
the party fiuttering like a deeapitated
chanticleer, vainly endeavoring to get
upon its feet again, and continually re-
sorting to ridiculous measures that can
not by any possibility become success
full.
The brains of the Democracy dropped
into the gulf Of secession and were eff
fectually squelched in the mire of trea-
SOB, and the trunk has ever since been
kept in motion by the application of
New Departures, Passive Policies and
desperation.
If this galvanized corpse were but suf-
fered to lie still and decompose, as it yet
must according to the laws of Nature,
from its very decomposition would grad
ually arise the vital elements of human
progression, which, uniting with the
superabundant brains of hydra-headed
and consequently conflicting Republi-
can interests, would coalesce into a DO
htleal party in keeping with the spirit
of the times.

The following compliment is paid to
an American woman, in a letter from
Swiss lady at Zurich, in SwitZerland:-
a young lady from Boston, Miss Susan
DimmOck, has just been obliged to crown
her course of study i'm medicine, surgery,
etc., with thesisin German: and which
both professors and and students of the
School of Medicine in Zurich were at
liberty to discuss with her. Sheacquitted
herself of this difficult task with so much
mOdesty and tact that she won the ad-
miration Ofevery one, even of those most
opposed to the practice of medicine by
women. Each of the professors set him
selfto praise her application, the dignity
and frmness of her character, and the
/ perfect prOpriety of her conduct toward
her fellow pupils of the other sex. 1t is
said that no female student here has
reached her line; and it is predicted of
her that "She will make herself a name
/ in science
