Party SOph1stry.

The Oregonian is The recognized repre-
tentative organ Of the Republican party
in the Pacific Northwest. 1t takes the
lead of all other journals OF its party in
this section az an exponent of the princi-
Piles and policy of its party. Yet we
seek IN vain in It's editorial columns for
the intelligence, the honesty and the pat-
riotism requisite to commend any party
to the popular support of any intelligent
community. 1t rants, denounces, vitu-
perates and falsifes after the manner of
the most shallow demagogue, but never
argues-never exhibits a sign of states>
manship or the least regard for historical
facts; its appeals are exclusively directed
to the ignorance and prejudice, instead Of
the intelligence and virtue of the people;
and in that respect it is fair represent
ative of its party. The following is one
of its characteristic paragraphs:
"The Seattle DISPATCH. whose editor
never was able to find anything treason
able in wlat was done by Wade Hamp-
ton and his ilk. now discovers alarming
evidence of the existence of unreasonable
organization" in the society known as the
.'Boys in Blue" OF course one who
never had any censure for jeff Davis,
Hampton and Lee. and who looks upon
them as model patriots, will naturally
denounce General Grant for traitor"
because of his recent order to this "trea-
sonable organization" to arise and save
the country from the Confederate Dem
ocracy. The Ethiopian can't change his
skin, nor can an old Democrat brought
up in the State supremacy school. whose
Bourhonism IS in grain, be anything else
than wha' he is
1t is true that we "never was able to
find anything reasonable in what was
done by Wade Hampton and his ilk =
we have searched in vain through all the
accepted publicists of ancient and modern
times for any authority to characterize as
reasonable acts committed under the
authority of recognized civil govern
ment, in accordance with the laws Of war,
by acknowledged belligerents. If what
Wade Hampton and his ilk" did in the
attempt to achieve independence was
reasonable, why was not one OF them
ever arraigned, tried and convicted of
the crime2 What authority has our
Government to compound felony OF such
vast proportions and admit to citizen
ship an army of felons more in number
than the original population Of the Uni>
ted States2 No one but an i2norsmus

Democratic Territorial
Convention.

After consultation personally and by
correspondence with the member, of the
Territorial Committee. it has been deter
mined t" call Convention of the De
m"cracy OF Washington Territory, to
meet at KALAMA. "n Wednesday, Sep

or a political knave will characterize a
reasonable war begun, prosecuted and
closed in strict conformity with the laws
of war in every detail. We never, by
thought, word or deed, countenanced se>
cession, or gave aid or encouragement to
the enemy while the war lasted; but we
have no sympathy with the towards and
sneaks who seek to cast odium upon a
brave and patriotic, though misguided
people, who pledged their lives, their
fortune and their sacred honor to cause,
which they had abundant reason to be-
lie.e was their only hope of maintaining
the rights guaranteed to them under the
Constitution. Every State under the
control OF the Republican party had null
lifted the constitutional compact and en-
dorsed the doctrine of secession before
single Southern State attempted to se>
cede. II there was any treason. 1t was on
the part of the party which nullified one
Of the conditions upon which the Union
was formed while claiming the protec-
ton of the General Government, and not
on the part of those who asserted their
original sovereignty and rendered the
wager of battle, rs sovereign States. in
defence of rights which had been repu-
dated by the party then in the control
of the General Government.
The treason of General Grant, as Com
mander-in Chief of the "Boys in Blue"
is as manifest and pronounced as that of
Aaron Burr, in organizing secret armed
and oath-bound league for purposes
purely partisan or personal. to dominate
.or revolutionize the Government. Burr
fought as bravely and as zealously for
the independence of this country as did
Grant for the maintenance of the Union,
and was nearly as highly hnnored and
trusted by the American people in his
day and generation. His personal ambi-
tion made him conspirator and traitor
to the Government which his genus and
valor haG helped to found. In view of
admitted facts is it safe to conclude that
Grants ambition is less unhallnwed He
is the acknowledged military commander
of a secret armed league hound together
for political purposes, under military drill
and sworn te obey the orders of their
military chief What further proof, short
of an overt act Of treason. is necessary to
convict him and his associates of trea-
sonable designs? 1t cannot be accounted
for upon any other hypothesis. Every
sec0 political organization is treasona-
ble to popular government, seeking by
covert meaCs to defeat the popular will.
and when such organization is armed
and drilled in military tactics. it evincfs
an unmistakabe determination to seize
by violence the power which cannot be
achieved by fraud. Will the Oregoninn,
which is ever so prompt to deny, affirm
and denounce, attempt to controvert the
foregoing facts and their logical conclu-
sions?

while the alleged improvements Of the

proved TO be illusory-to say nothing

Switzerland, as she has done for ages,
