LET THE HALL ROLL:
We give below an extract from the
speech of General Black which has the
right ring, and which makes dema
gogues and poli tical theives, headed by
the gift-taker, tremble.
B ot let us imagine because wo bo
longer hear the roll of the drum, and
read the daily reoord of death, that the
work is done. It is but began. To
each generation liberty assigns its la
bor. Our first labor is to renovate
the public service and it will be found
greater and graver than subduing re
bellion and bafflios treason. When
foes rank themselves under stranger
flags and bid open defiance, we count
the opposing host and foretell the re
suit; but when they wear the grab of
friends, and stand beside us as our
servants, trusted, honored, believed'
then is the danger great, the peril pro
found, the need for vigilance redoubled.
No people can bo called free whote
public offices are at the disposition of
rings or cliques, who, by raising the
party cry, can set their followers in
array in support of any measure how
ever bad,, and any men, how
ever corrupt. Allegiances to the party
is the source of ring government, and
as certain to result in corruption as that
men who are venal will seek the aid
of organized powers. I do not discuss
thisubjcct in i partisan sense, as one
who has accusations to make ag.iinst
tho ios, or apologies to tender for the
outs. hvory poutics! party m exis
tence to-d iy is as a whitcd sepulchre,
full of dead men's bones and corrup -
tion.
Aliko, they furnish the allies of each
scheme of plunder, the auxiliaries for
every raid on the public Treasury.
Which among thtra is pure ? Which
of them has not furnished leaders who
are burdened with the spoil of the
Credit Mobilier and the silary-grab?
Which of them has furniafeed its
thieve that have restored their swag
to the Treasury. Alike they cry pec
cavi, and promise reformation ; but
their promise are empty, whifo their
chief offenders are Representatives,
Judges, Senator, and even higher in
the official scale. When parties are ao
controlled by rings as to permit thiev
ing; so weak as to be unable to pre
vent it, then it becomes their duty to
relegate their powers to the people,
from whom they are derived, to aban
don their organization, and to permit
their voters to join with untrammeled,
earnest men who are determined tore
form, and purify. There is no place for
the corrupt and weak in the progressive
struggle of the day. Theyjare hulks
rotting on the slow waves, moored to
the dismal shores of the past unable to
catch with their rotting sails a single
breath of that good wind that seta to
ward the heaven of reform, flaunting
their old flags in the rotting air, on the
rotting eea, and under the breiy iky of a
party world, they are the hospitals for
disabled party vetrans who should be
self-pensioned with their numerous
followers. Let them pass away.
A man whose creed is worn out,
whose ideas of political progress are to
stand only where hb father stood, can
not aid the country in this age and on
this great day. Men inspired by the
great declaration may proclaim their
freedom from their old allegiances,
make new issues, and choose new as
sociations. Choose your own leaders
and servants, requiring of them honesty
and capability; seleeting by these tests (
punishing remorselessly any departure
from the right, condemning the bribe
tenderer and the bribe-taker, the cor
rupt and unprincipled, and you will
soon be able to point to a purified ser
vice and honored oountry. ,
The need for immediate action is
great. Look at our shamo in the
World's Exposition at Vienna 1 Look
to the spectacle presented in our Na
tional Capitall Urged on by the press,
forced to the task by the out-cry of the
people, your Congress investigates the
gigantio frauds of tho Credit Mobilier,
drawing the veil from corruption so
vast that it laid its Briarean hands upon
the Senators, the Representatives, and
the Judges. Of the scores of
guilty men whose offenses were made
potent, but few are punished. Unfor
tunate scapegoats ! The hands of the
high priests of the party are laid upon
them, and they pass into the wilder
ness of political oblivion, and then the
very Congress that way to unearth those
monstrous wrongs compensates itself
for its services in the cause of honesty
by an increase of salary. Let tho in
dignation of an outraged people fall
upon those who are engaged in those
and similar transactions. Let it be
heaped upon them in immortal measure.
Let the character of our American
statesman again tepresent integrity, and
his station command the regard of his
fellow-citizens.
The other great problem your are
to solve is now to check the
assumptions or consolidated capital,
not by a fierce attack upon monied
institutions, for many of these are
beneficent in designated results, but by
giving them their true place in our
social system, that of subservience to
the good of the people. Determine
that nothing which is inimical to tho
rights of the people can continue. To
make this good, wo must reverse
certain propositions which have hereto
fore been considered as fundamental
truths," but which in re
ality aro fundamental errors.
Time should be allowed to
examine into each step by which laws
are created, and, if iraud be found in
the creatiou of tho body of a bill, it
should bo taken to vitiate the -whole.
Good men will not fear an examination;
bad men should be made to fear it.
Another error is, that any portion
of sovereignty can, by statute, be per
mnncntly vested in private hands,
and then protected, under the pretext
of contract between a legislature and
citizens. Up against this doctrine
m a e m
rises tho inalienable nznts ot men.
Our Government was created to pre
8erve these rights, not to destroy them.
The generations which preceded them
selves the prqtecters of slavery or
polygamy, or crime of any grade ;
could give from their possessions to any
corporation, but not from ours. They
only held a life estate, abd could dele
gate but a life estate.
We may if wo choose grant franchi
ses and create powers that override our
liberties, but the children that follow
us cannot be bound by our acts
Man's interest in his Government
should bo lasting; his rights arc but
for his age. It is not compatible with
the republican idea of the greatest
good for the greatest number, that a
million of them fifty years ago should
have had the power to barter away the
Government at the expense of the forty
millions of to-day. But, says some
timid soul, you are talking radical and
revolutionary doctrine. That is what
the Tories of 1776 of the four-score
rebels who, in Iudependence Hall, pro
claimed the truths you have so often to
this day listened to.
Great truths are radical
and revolutionary in their character.
They do not come as a dawn ou a
peaceful world, waiting for the light
They come by the earthquake stroke,
bursting the crusted errors of centuries.
They flame like the sword of tho tempest
when storms are abroad in tho land.
They are elemental, and they rage
with elemental power. Bnt, says
another, capital is our best friend.
See how it has developed our resources,
built up1 our waste places, and made
onr deserts to blossom as the rose.
What of it f Why did capital seek us ?
From law, from patriotism, from phi
lanthropy T No ; but for ten per
cent mortgages. Yon might still wear
buck-skin breeches, coon-skin . caps,
and linsey-woolsey coats, drink from
gourds, eat from the e troth side of a
split log, and praise God in the un
roofed sanctuary in the forest, for all
that capital would care. If yoa had
not been able to pay your way in
golden grain from your rich fields, and
fatted cattle from your ample meadows.
Capital will never desert us, if we do
lay hands upon it and make it bear
burdens, so long as we pay. Our
in teres t3 aro identical, we propose
no war upon it. We only ask, Pleaso
be our servant, and not our lord. The
more we have of you the better we like
you, but the more you have of us the
worse off we are. Don't buy our
Legislature and our rights, and thus
ensconce yourself behind the contracts
you have purchased. Come to us in
milled dollars, in bonds, in improved
farms, in prosperons and growing cities,
in any shape you. will, but come as our
tax paying aid, and not as our tax
eating monster. Carry us and we will
pay you. Feed us, and we will pay
you. Serve us, and wo will pay you.
But attempt to rulo us, and we will
rebel.
SPECIAL COXnitESMIONAL ELEC
TION. Tho election of Congressman, made
vacant by the death of Hon. J. G.
Wilson, should rahse above party con
siderations and only the best man be
voted for by those having tho welfare
of our State at heart. Wo want as
Representee a man of action, and
one who will look after the interests
of citizens, not the interests of politic
ians. The one great course under
which we now labor at Wa5hins:ton is
having no representative of the peo
ple if we are allowed to judge by
their courso thus far. Th highet-t
aim of the Senator elected last veat
has, so lar, appeared to be onlv to
gratify personal spite and reward per
sonal friemts discarding the interests
of the many by looking after "those
cf a limited few. Senator Kelly we
do not know what he is doing, if any
thing it is in a very quiet way and has
not so far come to light. With two
Senatorsone with prestigo lost, if he
retains his seat, and the other with no
action, we are not in a position where
by our interests can be taken care of;
and for that reason we demand, on the
part of a large and influential class,
that the State conventions of both po
litical parties should place in nomina
tion men who will represont the peo
ple. We require further appropriations
for the removal of obstructions in the
Columbia and Willamctto Rivers ; we
want appropriations for the erection of
a beacon light on Sand Island ; we
want a revenue cutter stationed at the
mouth of the Columbia River, besides
other interests that require looking af
ter. The stale cry heretofore used
that Democrats have no influence in
Washington and therefore vote for the
Republican nominee, good or bad, does
not stand good, and Republicans must
not expect to earry the coming oleotion
in such a manner, and the Democrats,
because they are in the majority in the
State, must not calculate upon this to
gain the jelection. The mass of the
people are becoming tired of political
parties, for they begin to see that party
fealty is only a cry raked by those , in
office to continue themselves there, not
raised for patriotic purposes but tor
self, as their patriotism only extends
to "how muoh money is there in it?"
or in other words, how great are the
chanoes for stealings ? and whiohever
party holds out the best inducements
with that unites the politicians and
monopolists. For this and other rea
sons are tho mass of the peoplevo
ters being weaned from parties and
will only vote for the best men, irres
pective of party. This they recognize
