Our friend who have written lo u from different pnrtu of lite Territory uryiup the necessity of fl convention, will be glad to ice that the committed, though tardy, hat moved hi last. Wo hope that an early response will be m.i'io lo the coll by all the counties. Let mor-tings bi held lo elect delegates, and let ui have the reports of ouch meet ings at an early day. We shall Lava a meeting in this county toon, and we hope oilier counties will not be muwh he hind ua. Meet together, take counsel, and send up pood men lo represent your wishes, so that ' the counsel of the convention shall be marked by wisdom. The present is a crisis in the history of this government that require every true patriot, andrverymnu who believes in a wholesome, judicious mniiugr'iuriit of its affaire in harmony with ihoConati'iuion awl ' the principle, of right, to be mvnko and bestir himself. There ore really hut two great political' nrmies in the field, arrayed aguitist each other upon principles that cannot bo lust sight of by l ho temporary moke and dust of aide issues. All little squads of outside skirmishers, like frag ments of drift upon the ocean, must event ually bo drawn to one or the other great centers of political attract ion. The groat issues that divide the contend- ' ing hosts are the rights of mnn, natural and conventional, ns enunciated in the He. - clarution of Independence mid guarantied by the Constitution of the United State", on the ono hand, and an effort to overthrow these rights, establish a despntum upon the oil of some of our Teiritoties by means of standing armies, by forcing governments upon the people such ua nre ahhorrrnt lu them, bctiih-s a trampling upon the cuns'i tutioii by such false, pary, and scc'ionul constructions of it by a corrupt judiciary, as drag down the pillars of State sovcr. eignty and sweep away every barrier thrown around the most flourishing, popu lous, and wealthy Slates of the Union, against a derailing competition of im Hi cient shit a labor with that of the hard. hanuV J, Ipiios!, mid free white yeomanry, who have hewn down our forests, improved our water power, digged out our mines, and built tip our cities, besides whitening the ocean with the sails of a commerce that tilrcarly reaches into every port of en try in tho wot Id, and is pouring into our lap the exbamlless treasures of Europe, Ada, and Africa, as "i ll as (lie spicy isles of the great deep. To build up all these interests, as well as to support a moral, economical, and jmt Government at home, is the policy of the Republican party; wltilo til drag them all down, and institute a system of plunder, a reign of terrorism, and io nb the people one hy one of consti tutional rights hy adopting n false, fio eating construction of the Constitution that makes th.it instrument worse than a nullity, is the palpable, inevitable tendency of that treasonable " Junta" which, by the favor of a minority of American cilizers, has been inaugurated at Washington under the misnomer of " National Democracy." The recent developments that have been made at Washington in construing sunt lor sovereignty to be a license by The parly to force nn obnoxious constitution upon a Territory, after having been elected upon a plalf irm of "leaving the people perfectly free lo regulate their own domestic institu tions," wcl! the late position of Cecil i'lau's organ thut all the free Slate consti tutions aio Hncoiisiilb.Ioii.J, cuht to star U every patriot in the Union, and cause bint to p.iuse, and resolve to retrace his llep before he follows this treasonable f sr'y to the uliimaiutn of n European des-poti-m, to iii h it is fast drifting.

If that is not our character, let us go lo wyik in the Republican parly, which is bound lo succeed, and that Ltforo many years. (live the Dsitt bit Due. The bill we spoke of last week in rela tion to advertising, which was introduced by Mr. Rea ol' this county, and passed the House, we are 'old, with only one dissent ing vote, was defeated in the Council hy the influence of the Salem Clique." T his is fine good tiling lh clique has done, and wp give it credit for it. We w ir.li we knew w lio the mnn was in 'he House who voted arainsl the biil. lie is a man of sense, whoever he may be, The bill was expected lo operate against the Territorial Printer, but it "would have operated to the injury of the community at huge nmcl more. It would require mure space lima we can spare litis week to show up the tangled, jumbled hotch-potch that it would have thrown legal advertising irto, and the gross injustice it would have, wrought ! the community at large. The people never ought lo be sacrificed in order lo break down a particular individual. The eld law serve the interest of tho business community best as il now stands ; and, nhulever the motive may have beru for defeating the Clackamas butch, it was really a genuine democrat io stroke of legis lation, and we applaud the act, if it did come from the " Salem Clique." Personalities. Tho Journal of Commerce says that Wood would have been beaten much worse for Mayor of New York if tho N. Y. Tri bono had not indulged in such "brutal personalities" against him. The Tiibune replies that its " brutal personalities" con ststed in proving HooJ to bo n "swmuier and a consummate rascal." Whenever a Republican journal has occasion to tear the inufk ofTof one of these ret ten dema gogues and exhibit him in his nakednrss the lecofoco editors are seized nit at once will) a holy honor of" brutal personalities." There is many en ass w ho thinks the wo mi-til an editor walks right up and thrusts his stick into n neM of political vipers lie is dreadful "personal," il not' a "great blackguard." l'ust-onice Matters. The New York Tribune, in speaking of the intolerable nuisances which this Ad ininistraiion has forced upon the people in many sections of the Union in live shape of I'osi masters, very properly remarks ; " The functionary who receives and dis trihu'es the mails is u man of whom civil, ny and accommodation aie required, epe. cially in country towns, just as much as they are required ol the butcher or the ifeiieralctore keeper. U.-mg generally Ilie sole 1'Vdernl oilier in ihv hamlet, he tsal-o the very one in whose selection the people without distinction of parly should have a voice. Hut the policy o) the past artmtn.s I rati' ui which appears to have been hearti.

"Sometimes a sober man has b-.en turned out In make room for n confirmed iuibriiite, who forthwith established the Uniied Slates qinnters in a low grocerv, into which no respectable gentleman would venture to send his girls or boys. Some times felhius have been appointed who w ere utterly unable lo rend or write." It would seem from the abive that the prople of Oregon are not die only onci w ho have hud a taste of " national demou racy" in the distribution of offices by ilie Post nl depurtiirent. As complaint have been poured in upon us for the last liiree years of the incompetency end mismanage- merit of some of our postmasters, we have often wondered why the " democratic par. ty," unlike ei ery other parly that has had an existence, should especially delight in picking up some uncouth and unlettered scullion and installing him in office, where policy would seem to indicate the need of a man of tolerable qualifications at least, as well as one possessed of enough breeding and suavity lo render himself sufficiently tolerable nl least to the community, to en able a white man lo transact business with him without being exasperated to an incli nation lo knock the puppy down every time he had occasion to demand bis rights as an American citizen. Does tho interest of the party require a postoffice lo be filled by man who i not qualified lo keep the books of an Indian salmon peddler, and whose accomplishments in the way of good breeding would not give him a passport into the society of those who still adhere to the cardinal principles of etiquette? Or is it because in some districts as in many de. livery in the Suites, every respectable man lias joined the Republicans, and no national" candidates for ode can be found without making call from tho ranks of the unlettered, unwashed and uncouth rabble who, being "sound and reliable," ero always preferable to intelligent He publicans because Miey make Mcelleni tools for suppressing light by destroying Republican papers, and begging for sub scribers for such shell as are black out side and in with treason and falsehood J We see nn reason why a mnn should try lo be en uncouth and ungenilemanly clown, because, by the grace of Buchanan, he has come in possession of a small office, to which Its could never have been elected. Wo can mention several postmasters in Oregon who (strange as it may appear) tiro gentlemanly aud courteous, and give general satisfaction, lint withstanding ihey are " national, Union saving" locofocn offi cials. To ny nnthint! of our postmaster in this city, w ho we believe intends to do his duty, we might ftNo instance ihe Sa lem, Lafayette, and Buileville postmasters, besides many others, w hom we are bound lu respect for their attention io duty and their regard for good breed'nur, although they should never show us a favor by way of extending our circulation. We ask no odds of a democratic pos'mssler other than a discharge of his duty like a man. Don't fal our money, an I don't lie to our ub. scribers by telling them "then U no Argui or you," when you have either gien il away lo some stingy locofocowho warns to read it, or used it yourelf for wrapping paper. Just hand our papers out, and they will cut their way among all tho locofoco pa pers you van jam into the pockets of your "democrats," from the Washington Union down to Jo Line's pigtail whistle at Port land, Batcsa i.suurlcr. Since the Salem people have decided in favor of the charter, by a majority of fifteen votes, the caucus organ has ground out a whining editorial, promising that the courts will set the charter aside.. The ground is taken that, because there was only a majority of fifteen out of 14ft voters, the majority was too light lo entitle ikem tn rule. Eighty-two voted for ihe charter, and sixty seven against it. The doctrine taught is thai the 6? voters ought to rule the 82. This is precisely w hat black de mocracy is, and we are glad ihe caucus or gan has broached it. Let it be understood then that democracy interpreted means now " The miaoriiif shall rule, and the ma jority shall nut only be ruled but they shall have their windows knocked out by a drunken mob." Frauds. Look out at the next June election for frauds as great as those in Kansas, Minne sota, and Philadelphia, not to say anything of the " Jackson county returns." The cirque has broached the doctrine thai tho minority shall rule, and we look for an effort to retain the offices at nil haz ards. Stick a pin there, and see if it don't turn out sn. Aw lacltlent.
