LETTER FROM BEAVERTON

BEAVERTON, June G, 1850.
To TIE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
When the candidates for the political
Offices OF Washington county addressed
the people in this precinct, the Repub-
lican candidate for Senator said that
the Greenback platform was 50 large
that be couldn't talk Of single thing
without getting onit-not even Woman
Suffrage OF Spiritualism. The next
Greenbacker on the stand said he would
willingly include Woman Suffrage in
his platform, as his mother was a
woman. He evidently desired to please
the women present.
Mr. Barrett, the lea ling candidate for
the House on the Republican side,
being called upon, mounted the stand.
impatient to contradict everything said
by an opponent. Carried away by his
zeal, almost the first thing he said was,
81 don't believe in Woman Suffrage. -
Up got the women and marched out OF
the hall in body. The orator doomed
/ - - 'Nhi tNNliub tue opposition IN
pieces, without appearing to notice
their exit. Everybody else did, how
ever. The Chairman, an ancient Re-
publican, aud firm believer in the
doctrines Of Solomon and Paul, "was
just a-bucking" over what he thought
to be their disrespeet for him and hi:
party, aud on the day following came
near busting some Of them up'' in con.
sequence.
That wasn't the last Of it, by eoot
deal. Democrats, Greenbackers ant
everybody turned Woman SufFragisI
from that time out TO the end of To,
canvass. At all other places where they
spoke afterward, the candidates tool
great pains to say all they could about
and in favor Of the woman movement
and upbraid Mr.. B. for being such baC
boy. He, however, expressed himsel
as sorry that the women didn't give him
time to explain what he meant. The
] trouble was, he didn't mean it. Al.

AN INCIDENT.

Mrs. Emma Mont. McRae, Principal
Of the High School Of Muncie, Ind, in
her remarks before the House Judici-
ary Committee last Winter, related an
incident which will impress upon any
one the helplessness Of a DISTINGUISHED
class and the necessity which bids
women to work for their freedom.
\ young lady Of tweuty-one years
who for the preceding five years had
been employed as a clerk in the Muncie
post Office, and upon whom a widowed
mother was dependent for support, was
told, on the 1st Of January, that she
was no longer needed in the office.
She had filled her place we'll; no COM
plant had been made against her, and
it was not intimated that her position
was a supernumerary one. She mod
estly asked the postmaster as to the
cause Of her discharge, and he replied A:
awe have a man who has done work
for the party, and must give him a
place. I haven't room FOR both Of you ;
so must give your place to that man" j"
Now, there is at once the reason why
women desire the ballot; they want to
be able 10 do something "for the party'
in a substantial way, that men may
not refuse them places for lack Of assist
ance. Mrs. NIcRae concluded her five
minute speech with these words:
want this young girl, and all the young
girls. and all the mothers In Indiana, 90 be
able 20 do something "for the partyr IN Indi-
ana, by means Of which they can show they
have the power 10 protect themselves in earn
ing Ilvelihoods. When they have the ballot.
women viii work FOR the party as a means 81
enabling them 70 hold places In which they
may get bread for their mothers and for their
children, If necessity requires this OF them.
Mrs. McRae's incident is commended
to the attention OF the women OF Ore
gon, aud especially to those who hold
commissions as postmasteTs. 4 Presi-
Dental election is at hand. Workers
"for the party whichever party wins,
will want and must have offices, so that
all women who keep their places after
next March may consider themselves
fortunate. Women Of Oregon, you have
but one hope in the future. Work
faithfully until you are enffauchlsed,
and then your claims will be respect
fully considered. Anything You may
now receive from the Government is
given 70 you grudgingIy, and as charity.

TIE TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN.

"Who Planned the Tennessee Cam
paign, or Anna Ella Carroll va. Ulysses
5. Grant," is the title OF q tract which
will shortly be on sale at the Office Of
the National Citizen, Syracuse, y. Y.
The tract was written by Matilda Joslyn
Gage, aud details facts about the civil
war not generally known. It contains
Miss Carrolrs first letter to Mrs. Gage,
also letter from Colonel Thomas Scott
lformer Assistant Secretary Of War,
and many others from prominent busi-
ness men. Mrs. G.. claims that this
pamphlet conclusively proves that the
first victories OF the war were obtained
under plan which Miss Carroll devised
and sent in to the War Department, ac-
companied by maps Of illustration. The
Government recognized this plan as the
first practical one that had been offered,
and accepted and acted upon It. During
the campaign thus inaugurated by Miss
Carroll, General Grant gained bis first
victory, and his name first became
known TO the public; but, while he has
received the honors Of the world for the
secondary part he played, she, the wom-
an who planned, the woman with the
strategic brain, the woman to whose
military genius we are indebted for a
country, is living uurecognized aud uu-
rewarded, striving in vain for a paltry
pension.
It should be the pride and the duty of
every Woman Suifraglst to speak and
write OF this wonderful woman, spread
ing over the civilized world knowledge
Of what she has done. In order to afford
opportunity for ladies to order other
thousands Of this work struck of, II will
be kept in type a short time. Should
persons desire to order a few thousand
more copies printed, the order must be
given within a fortnight.
Miss Carroll's work in the war is q
triumphant answer 10 those opponents
Of Woman Suffrage who say If 4 woman
votes she must fight. It was not sin
gle gun that Miss Carroll welded, but
she flung battalion upon battalion, and
at her command armies marched from
the Ohio othe Gulf; g1nboats thundered
as they sailed down rivers, and fort after
fort fell under her strategy; cities were
taken, France aud England held at bay,
and the success Of the Republic assured.
To be ignorant Of Miss Carroll is to be
Ignorant Of history. Not to know Of
Miss Carroll is not to know Of the grand
est woman OF modern times, 2 woman
to whom not alone our country but the
whole world is Indebted. She made lib
erty fulfilled promise to all men and q
permanent promise to all women.

FIVE FREE VOTERS.

On Monday, while passing the polls
Of Couch precinct, we noticed q negro
fixing" ticket for an Irishmau three
steps further Oh, Jew was helping 3
son Of the Emerald Isle to patch Up a
ticket suitable to the said Jew; yet a
few feet further, aud a German and an
Irishman were sticking names on a
ticket for a negro, who was waiting to
deposit it as his ballot near these last
were two Germans engaged lu helping
a countryman to select bis candidates,
and in near proximity was a negro care
fully instrueting a man who was evil
IDENTIFY an American.
We mention these examples of free
and sovereign voters because il has
ever been the cry of the opponents of
the woman movement that women, if
enfranehised, would vote as their hus-
bands would direct and the more iguo-
rant a body Of men are the more you
will find who will make the assertion.
1t is fitting, indeed, that tie most logged
and unreasonable opposition to Woman
Suffrage should come from the Irish and
the Germans, since they are the recipi-
ents Of more attention than other ma
tionalities when election day arrives.
Each and every man, native or foreigner,
whose ticket was patched up OF selected
for him, will be found arrayed against
Woman Suffrage, though we do not
wish to be understood as implying that
opposition to the movement is never
found among independent voters. If
woman had the ballot, aud a small
number Of them were to be guilty Of
such gross ignorance as not to know for
whom to vote, the baying Of the sleuth-
hounds Of the mass Of uueiucated voters
would be heard on every hand. It
would be an unpardonable crime for a
woman to receive instruction or assist
ance in choosing nominees, though it
is a matter of minor Importance when
a man is guilty Of the same careIessness
or ignorance.
We trust that no woman who reads
these lines will ever listen to an insult
regarding the Independence which
would mark the use Of the ballot by
women, without Teseuting it by hold
ing up to light the five instances Of SOW
ereign voters mentioned in the first
paragraph Of this article, all of which
were observed inside Of a minute. Does
any one doubt that like examples OF
''free electors" can be seen at any time
during any election?

TRIED NOT BY THEIR PEERS.

Two girls were recently induced to 90
from Milwaukee TO Manistee, Mich, by
person Of disreputable character, and
were hired as domestics. Soon after
their arrival, they were met by insult
ing demonstrations, and for the first
time we're made acquainted with the
character Of the house and their en-
ployer. As soon as they could get
away from the place, they entered a
a complaint, claiming that rape had
been cOmmitted-and were lodged in
Jail TO await trial as criminals. Upon
the day OF their examination IN court.
the employer, backed by several of his
own ilk, undertook to break down their
testimony by his counsel, and the Gues-
tions put to them were Of the most in
decent kind. The Christian ladies of
Manistee, having been apprised OF this
fact, decided to appear in court for the
purpose Of holding this brutality in
check by their presence alone, and to
assure the unfortunate ones that tbev
were not wholly friendless. A CORE.
sPondent of the National Citizen, dis
cussing this disgraceful case, asks two
pertinent questions, viz:
Is it not time that women should enter the
courts In other capacity than as spectators
when their presence seems necessary to inspra
fair and courteous trial OF their unfor,urats
sisters?
What shall be said Of The manhood and
ehiVairy OF that Prosecuting Attorney and The
counsel who conducted the ecross-examinatior
when the presence Of ladies was necessary 10
remind them that they were dealing vim
human beings? "''-

THE MARBLE ROCKS.

A few miles off the road, down the
open and we'll cultivated valley of the
Narbada, in Central India, is mighty
river, pent up iuto third OF its width,
boiling along for more than two miles
between two sheer walls of pure white
marble, hundred feet in height, with
here and there seam of dark green or
black volcanic rock, which enhances
the purity of the marble like setting
