- How it was possible for any considerable
number Of Virginians to fall into the hands
of disreputable leader like Mahone-how
they could have been fed upon his chaff-
was indeed a mystery. There were bad
men, of course, who followed Malone most
willingly, and who were ever ready to do
their masters bidding, hoping to get rich
shares of the spoils. But how any consid-
cradle number of the intelligent, honest
Democratic people of this State should
have been led into the snare, must forever
remain a mystery. But it is enough to
know that every well-meaning, upright man
who was so entrapped has left the party of
corruption anG boss rule, and is once more
found in the Democratic ranks. Thousands
of white Virginians who had onee beer en-
thusiastic supporters of Malone, came out
like men in November and voted to restore
the Democratic party. There may have
been e few honest but misguided men
who followed the tyrant to defeat. If
there were any such they have doubtless
acknowledged their error, and resolved to
affiliate in November next with the party
composed of the patriots of Virginia.
Nothing is now left of the Mahoneite
Republican party but negroes and few
white renegades of the Malone character,
who could never be satisfied to vote with
respectable people. AS all men know,
Malone kept his colored constituency to-
getheE by vile promises in some cases and
viler threats in others. Virginians were
fully aware of the fast last fall, that Ma
hone bulldozed and intimidatsd the ne
groes-free ballot; but during the past two
or three weeks the country at large has been
made fully aware of the tyrant's bulldozing
methods. The Danville investigation,
which was intended by Sherman to make
capital for himself and Malone, has brought
out much wholesome truth, but truth that
has disappointed and depressed the haters
of the South.
Although Virginia rid herself of her
worst enemy when her freemen overthrow
Mahoneism the Democrats must not think
that they can afford to be idle 1t is only
by constant vigilance that we prevent our
enemies from stealing a march. Virginia
was carried last fall by majority of 20, 600.
Our majority should be much greater next
November, now that the good works of the
Democracy stand out in such strong con-
trast to the corruption Of Republican Ma
honeism.-Rieh. State.

Under Gold and Exposure.

When you are exposed in the bitter East
wind, in the drenchiDg rain, or in severe
frost, you feel the cold sharply, of course,
and you may be tempted to have recourse
to 'snips'' to impart glow Of heat to your
shiyering frame. There can not well be
greater mistake.
Cocoa, coffee, Or tea, will make you warm
and comfortable, but if you rely on intoxi-
eating drink for heat, you will find it bro
ken reed. Tt will give you but brief feel
ing of warmth, and will leave you colder
than you were before.
Even this transient warmth is but a feel
ing, the truth being that every glass of spir-
its robs you of some of that interior bodily
heat without fair supply of which you
cannot live. Thus it was that an un-
happy young soldier was frozen to death
one night lately at Dorchester. Thus it
has been that have known men to die
from cold in Canadian winter because, CON
trary to orders, they had taken a glass Of
spirits before going on duty.
If you drink Intoxicating liquors regular
ly every day, even in ordinary moderate
quantities, you will be much more liable to
take cold, and to have inflammation of the
lungs or some ether chest affection, than if
you practice total abstinGnce. | have had
several patients who used to lie troubled
with such ailments, but since they have
followed my advice and become total alb
stainers they have been much more free
from colds of every kind.
am not speaking of drunken men; am
speaking simply of the regular habit of
drinking moderately" and freely, and of
the large proportion of disease and prema-
ture death which have seen derive its orr
gin from this steady, regular drinking hab-
it.
have nothing to say at present about
the moral. and other dangers arising from
the use and abuse of strong drink, nor do !

calamities which often befall the families
of those who indulge in drink. speak as
physician to those who have been under
my professional care. l speak simply of
what have seen with a medical eye while
attending you.
The influence of strong drink on your
health and life is all that | now dwell upon.
As you have regard for strength and for
ability to perform arduous duties, and for
life from the standpoint, pure and simple,
of a physician, desire to impress upon you
the Importance of following this rule, which

HONOR O'BRIEN.

Honor o. Brien was sweet as a daisy;
You could grasp her waist with span;
Her smile was enough to drive man crazy
And Pat was no more than man.
1t happened one day misfortune to her,
The pigs ran away on the rack,
When Pat, very glad favor to do her,
Made vow he would bring them back.
So he started like hare through the busnes'
And one little piggie he brought
"Honor me darlint," said he full OF olusnes'
avid a kiss this pig can. be bought"
"Och, now, ye spalpeen," said Honor. then
take one
It's a bargain, bring them all here"
"a bargain said Pat, it takes two to make
one,
It's kiss every pig, me DEAR"
He brought in the pigs, they were honestly
paid for,
But the rogue counted twice each one,
Declaring that this was what he "agreed for, y
While Honor looked prim as nun.
"Oca, me darlint." said Pat, ''you look like
duchess,
And each time the pigs run away.
Sure 1 will come, if come crutches,
And drive them all home for snch pay

{ Tho Swamp Land Frauds.

Some time ago the Oresonian, in
very strong terms, charged the present
State officials with standing in" with
the swamp land grabbers, and made
char ges which, if true, require lsgisla-
tive interference. The law is plain
that it is the legislative will that but a
limited acreage shall be sold to any one
person. If it is trne AS stated that the
State officials are attempting to convey
100000 acres to the syndicate of
which Hen Ovens is the head, it is In
violation of the statute The people
should see to it that their legislators
a men who have the stamina and
ability to unearth these frauds, regard
less Of who it may hurt. 1t is an ad-
mitted fact that it is for the best inter-
ests of She State that these lands
should be owned and held by actual
settlers, instead OF being held in large
bodies for the purposes of speculation.
We are of those who believe that the
earth was made for our habltatien and
that any system of government which
attempts to parcel out to individuals or
corporations vast tracts Of the public
domain for the purpose of speculation,
is at variance with the best interests of
the people and should be held account
able for their actions.
The executive department. may be
able to place these lands, which belong
TO the State, beyond legislative control.
1t is well established principle, both
.in law and in equity, that fraud will
.vitiaUe all contracts and if these swamp
land graLbers have been gully of the
frauds charged upon them 10y the Ore
gonian, they obtained no rights or equ;-
ties by their filings, and the State Off
~clals can give no greater rights than the
law recognizes. 1t is matter for leg
islative interference and should be
probsd to the bottom.

SATURDAY, MARCH 80, 1854.
Refreshing.


There is something exceedingly re-
'frsshing in the Republican call for this
county. 1t expresses desire that all
who favor economy and good manage
msnt in governmental affairs should
attend the Republican primaries. In
view of the fact that the federal ma
chine has been run by the Republicans
for twenty three years and our county
and State affairs also for major pcr
tion of that time, this seems passing
strange Can it be true that they are
willing to cry "peccayT and admit that
heretofore they have sini.ed, but SO il
seems. Well, no wonder; for there
never was child that ate too much
taffy hut what got sick at the stomach.
The fellow who imbibes too much of
the "Aow come you so" will often ex-
claim, 81 will never do so any more >
1t is true that Republican administra-
tiohs have been extrayasant and cor
trupt in the management cf public mat
ters and, therefore, it ls proper that
they should call to their assistance aux
iliaries in order to secure economy and
good management. But after all the
Keps. will be compelled to nominate an
old Independent, anti-Mitchell gentle
man for congress, before they can have
/. shadow Of hope for success.

defeating needful appropriations for

Before bidding you good night,
must remind you of one or two things,
] must take the liberty to tell you of a
duty you owe to yourselves and to the
State of Oregon. It is-be cal sful who
occupy the seats in congress They are

cerned. Some of your epresentatives
stand there opposing u.s. At every point.
Two years ago, without proper assist
--ance from the Oregon delegation, but
by outside influence, bill was passed
by which the house proposed to give US

posed to give to Oregon $4,000, of
course for Yaquina But the senators
from Oregon surrendered the Yaquina
$4,000 for the mouth of th. Colum-
bia- Then followed an open 6gLt on
the floor of the senate, under the inau-
rence of which Senator Slater boldly
proposed and commanded for specific
grant of AN extra $50, 1000 for Yaquina-
But when it came back before the
house your delegate in congress delio-
.nrAtely threw it away for party purpos-
.res- / can prove this by documentary
evidence This may be unpleasant, but
It Is the truth and the whole truth. I

ings have carried ne away.
