his own use-and ifso, how muchP',
Isn't that a brilliant idea? A MAJ
must be shown to appropriate ps
lie funds to "his own USE" whI
he steals, or our neighbor wot4 ~
have us infer, he is not 3 thief.
The amount, too, must he i,amed.
That may suit the claims Of nemo-
cratic integrity, bnt not Republican.
A man who steals is a thief, no
matter as to the Size OF the amount,
or what he does with It. Put, let
us show still farther how glaringly
ridiculous the positions Of this jour
nal are. Relative to Senator Mitch
ell, in another editorial Of the same
paper it says, in substance, that be-
cause he (MitchelD did not openly
deny the charge Of bigamy, which
such reckless journals as the DEM
ocrat alleged him to be guilty, Of
that, therefore, the charge was true,
his silence being an acknowledge
ment Of his gnilt Apply this prin.
ciple to Floyd and the rest Of the
thieves ofBuchanan's cabinet. Did
they ever deny having stolen public
property and. moneys, and have
they denied sppropriating them to
their own use? If they have not,
this theory pronounces them guilty.
We give this as q sample Of the
logic Of the Democrat The true
point at issue in the article it over
looks, and runs of, as we have in
timated above, into the discussion
Of an irrelevant issue. We say
again: Ifthe Mercary and Demo-
crdt can extend amnesty to oath
breaking, thieving, numbering
rebels and Ku Klux, why not to
one whose moral delinquencies,
reaching none Of these crimes, were
committed in the past, and for
which he has sought ever since to
atone?

Republican State Convention.

The Republican State Central
Committee met at Eugene City on
Thursday evening of last week
Earuestness and harmony charac-
terized the brief meeting. It was
agreed to hold a State Convention
in our city albany on the 18th Of
next September, and a call to that
effect was issued. Precinct cleo
tiuns are recommended to be held
August 23d, and County Conven-
tions August Both, for e,ecting De-
egates to the State Convention.
Let Republicans in the different
precincts Of Linn take note Of these
times, and act accordingly. Let
men be selected for Delegates who
will attend the Conventions. Let
intelligence, promptness and earnest
ness, commensurate with the impor-
tance of the nomination to be made,
guide in the performance Of this
work. Our political enemies sneer-
ingly tell us we have lost our en-
thusiasm and are weak. Let us
show them, as the State Convention
has already done, that intelligent
zeal and unity Of purpose still indi-
vidualize and guide the Republi-
cans Of Oregon, as they do those OF
the entire country.

for all hands to steal under the

Of such steals by urging the claims
just now Of two of the takers Of
them for Congress--and tie Mer-

Our Helping NeighbOr.

The Albany Democrat gives an
exhibition of assumption in last
weeks issue, which the Salem Mer-
curry can regard as prompted by no
higher motive than thatof lgnorant
vanity. Its egotiSm prompts it to
essay to defend the latter Journal
from our home thrustS; and o hotch-
potch mess it makes, truly! II the
Merc'uy is not as blunt in percep-
ton as it is inconsistent in political
sentiment, this volunteer effaslon OF
our neighbor must fill it with pun
gent chagrin, Our article, headed
"a Crime is Crime" was designed
to show the Inconsistency OF the
Salem Journal III asking amnesty
for unrepenting rebels, and refusing
to grant it TO our repeutant Senator
practically taking the position
that crime in a rebel is different
thing from crime in a Republican.
In presenting the case, we alluded
to the fact that perjury, theft and
murder were committed by leading
rebels; that in the person OF jeff.
Davis, alone, far greater crimes had
been committed than can be proven
against our Senator, and vet that
journal would have Davis forgiven.
These were illustrations used by us
to establish the inconsistency and
injustice of that Journal. Now,
what is the argument this egotisti-
cal peighbor Journal of ours sets
up, asau answer? Why, It devotes
q whole column to show that Re
publicttns have committed crimes
as aoeH as Democrats; and instances
the Hodge de'alcation forgetting by
the way, that Hodge was a Demo-
crat), aud some Others, to prove it.
1t loses sight entirely of the prlnci-
pie we were calculating, and rushes
its whole length, goat fashion, butr
against our illustrations, like one
regarding the scafolding ofa build.

Here is an intended hit at Mitch

Gill;
The plea OF insanity having
become a little odious from too
frequent use and from rather strained
application, it is proposed that
very hard and notorious rascals
shall, when arraigned ior trial, offer
in its stead the plea that they were
sin a perturbed state Of mind"
when they committed the crime
charged. Salem Merumy,
1t would be supertluous for the
multitude Of offenders in the Dem
ocrstic party against morals and
law, to offer the plea Of insanity as
a palliation for their crimes. No
sensible jury in the world, after
examining the foolish course which
has been the habit Of that party
for many years, could bring in a
verdict Of sanity in favor even Of
the brightest lights in the party,
much less its criminals. Neither
will q verdict Of "En q perturbed
state Of mind" fit them, but, "and
a rotten state Of The heaH,' would
have to be added, in order to des-
cribe the average criminal Demo
crat.
