Address Democratic Central Com
mittee.

To THE people OF OREGON: At the
recent election the Democratic can
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent were elected by the votes cast.
A conspiracy has been formed to
defeat the result by making the re-
turning boards of three States in the
South the arbiters of the peoples
choice. The character and action Of
the returning board in Louisiana
show the means by which it is at
tempted to substitute the choice of a
returning board for the choice of the
people. The members of the board
owe their appointment to an usurpa-
ton that was repudiated by the
United States Senate and condemned
by Republican committee of the
House of Congress. Some of them
are Federal of6ce-holders, other,
were candidates for Office at the cleo
ton which they assume to set aside.
All of them are violent partisans Of
the Republican party, and some of
them are of infamous personal char
acter. These men have assumed to
set aside actual majorities of from
seven to above nine thousand votes
in favor of the Democratic electoral
candidate, seeking thus to substitute
what they profess to believe the vote
ought to have been, for what the
vote actually was.
The perpetuity of our Republican
Government is above all questions OF
q merely personal or partisan charac-
ter. The will of the people, consti-
tutionally expressed at the ballot
box must be submitted to by all par
ties. The attempt to set aside the
majorities in Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina, and to reverse the
solemn verdict of eight millions of
voters is revolutionary, and it cannot
be submitted to without surrendering
the vital principle of Republican
Government and exposing the coun-
try to anarchy and ruin. To permit
this usurpation-to permit an I'M
scrupulous board to change the re-
suit of the election for President be-
fore that result is declared, is to for
felt the liberties of the people and
the respect of mankind.
We deem it advisable and there
fore recommend that mass meetings
be held, so far as practicable, in the
different counties in the State on the
Sth day of next January, that an in
terchange of views among the people
add an expression of opinion, touch
ing the momentuous questions pre-
sented in this crisis, he had. It is
the opinion of the committee that
these meetings should, as far as pos.
sible, be free from excitement or
partisan feeling; that the present
condition of the country should be
discussed with a calmness commen-
surate with the importance that the
subject demands.

The BEAUTIES OF ALAsKA.-Per-
haps Alaska, says the St. Louis Re-
publican, is the most worthless patch
of creation that was ever purchased,
and passed out of one possession
into another. It does not seem to
have any materials or capacities for
development. It was a Russian
poor-house, and Russia sold the ex-
peneive charge. All Russians who
were able to go, got away; those
who were too poor to go, stayed.
AL the paupers remained, of course.
Among those were the half-breeds,
Russia's crooked family. Now and
then a melancholy letter comes from
some stranded correspondent in Al
aska, and the name goes into the pa
pers. Otherwise it is as dumb as
petrefaction, and as barren of news
as the moon. A letter came lately.
Sitka is still sitting in q quiet corner
of the ocean, behind numerous is
lands which break the waves until
the waters around are as calm and
passionless as those of q mill-dam.
Even the sea about the city refuses
to stir. There are no streets, be-
cause none are wanted. There are
a few alleys-narrow ways that lead
to Observation-Disclosures prostitu-
ton being a Russian heritage. And
then the universal smell of fish.
The clouds come up from the Pacific,
and pour floods Of water upon Sitka

ton, and the water runs off into the
sea again, but it cannot wash away
the smell of fish. And Sitka is all
there is Of Alaska worth speaking Of
at all. Aud nobody ever stayed
there yet to whom it was possible to
get away. So the letters from
Alaska always treat that miserable
patch OF creation which has ever beer
source of poverty to its owner.
