Sincerely thank, ful for Ast favors, w ask our friend lo renew tliuir cftiru fn our behalf. We are Conscious of many defects and errors of the pa.il, nud enter upon this volunio wiih a dcairo to improve upon suggestions ofleied by experience. W' oro receiving daily evidences of pullrc approval from every di rection, and as long as nur friends continue 10 malum us, wa shuil continue to fight for truth and the rights ol tlio people, till victory perches on onr tanner, ' Republican Convention. .On the outside of this paper will be found the proceedings of the Republican State Convention lieM in Salem Inst Friiliiy. The Convention embraced a larger number of delegates - than" we txptcled, owing to tho Intcncsi of the call from the Central Committee and a somewhat prevalent opin ion in certain localities that a Republican organization was premature. The Conven tion was marked by a unanimity and lis r inony seldom seen in liko bodies. Upon the imperntivo necessity of n full and thor oitgh organisation of the parly immediate ly, tho Convention was unanimous. That the present is tho most auspicious time we nhall ever see for dicing deep nnd laying iho foundation fr tho noble edifice thul nastero long serve as a refuge for nil the patriot of our young Slate, seemed lobe tho firm conviction of nil those intelligent Republicans who were suflicinnily awake to duty lo send up delegates to tho Con vention. , The Convention was marked by , a unanimity of purpose and feeling con cord reigned throughout it deliberations, 'andall seemed actuated w ith a desire lo 0 advance the interests of I lie clarions cause in which they are enlisted. As intelligent, moral and sober a body of men e have never seen meet in as large a convention before, and we certainly havo seen 'none wboro the delegates were so fully imbued with a lovo for tho cause mid a fraternal feeling towards rath o her. The ticket nominated w have run' up at our masthead to day, nnd we intend tt irork for it, fight for It, and voto for it.' We havo no apologies to offer for it. It is a better ticket by far than nny yet in the field, so liir as persons ore concerned, intellectually and morally, nnd our candi dates stand upon n plat form of principles as much superior to any thai either wing of the black democracy can bring out as the henvens are higher than the Itlack Swamp. If the Republican lickol is elect ed, no man who votes for it need have any funri of being sold to n caucus of rotten demagogues, of seeing the treasury plun dered by lax.y, inefficient, dishonest offi cials, or of being misrepresented by those too much tho tools of party lo regaid the interests of the whole people, and loo mean to resign their offices. . Our nominre for Governor, although a plain farmer, is a man of much experience, of largu nnd liberal views, of good nutural talents, and of a sterling integrity thul is a ufUcient guoruniy against all corrupting influences. He nerved honorably as Slate Senator for several years from cue i.f the most populous and intelligent districts in Illinois, having beaten by a handsome ma. joriiy our old loco fuco fiiend McMurtry, who was afterwards elected Lieutenant Governor of the samo Siat. Mr. Denny has more than once been put upon the course in" Marion county for the legisla tore, where, although beaten by the fbice ef party drill and popular prejudices ainung his opponents, ho has always run consid erably ahead of his oan ticket. If elected Governor (which w0 hope ho will be,) ho will bo an honor to the post and a faithful public servant. Mr. McRride, who it nominated for Con gress, though oidy twenty-six years of age,1 is a young lawyer of clear perception, logical turn of mind, wMl pouted in politi cal history, tin J as firm for riglil principle -as the rock of Gibraltar. He can neither be swayed by popular applause, befogged by sophistry, nor bought by either UriiUh gold or Administration patronage, lie stands head and shoulders al'ove the tool ol'ilie clique ho is running against, moral ly and intellectually, and every vole given lo him will Lo like fastening a nail in a sure place. - Of the rest of the candidates we shall take occasion probubly to speak more hereafer. i .

An error ocourred in making up the secretary's report of ilia proceedings of I ha Republican Si ale Convention as published on the ouisldo of this paper, In which Mr. Holmes Is made to s' ggesl the propriety of withdrawing the name of Mr. George as Secretary of State. We learn lhat the siigues'ion was made by Mr. Applegale and not by Mr. Holmes. The error occur red in making up our report from a nicngre outline of tho evening session furnished by the ch-ik, a part of which wo filled up from memory. Mr. Applegale niado the suggestion before we reached the house, and was probably seconded by a delegate from Linn county before the remarks of Mr. II jlnics, who had the floor when we entered tho house. 00 Cxapkny'a organ publishes the Re publican platform, and treats the Republi can party wiih much more respect (ban one would suppose it capable of doing if there were no Nationals in the field. Il is all " Republican," without tho " black" as prefix. Some think that the paper is preparing to fall into the Republican ranks upon tho downfall of the "dynasty," while others think that Lane's nigger has so overdone the blackguard business that Czupkay's agent blushes under a conscious ness of his inubility in lhat line w henever he approaches the vocabulary that contains the only pure democratic thunder. His report of iho secret caucus" of the Republicans, in conveying the idea that he was either secreted in the stove (as in Lcland's once when h abstracted the Culver letter), or was wallowing in lobac co juice under one of the benches, has pro duced only this conviction in the minds of the most ranUnkerftus hushiies lhat, al though he wasn't l ho re, he plainly indicates that ho would like lo have been if ho had dared to. Their belief in tho whole "re port" merely embraces the fad of hie wil lingness to occupy a very sneaking position, no more, no less. Of course Republi en ns will not fall out with them when their faith goes only this far. Municipal Election. Our election for city officers went off last Monday very cjuioilv. Little or no interest was manifested nnd less than sev enty voles were polled. Tho follow ing offi ccrs were elected: For Mayor, A. Hoi brook ; Councilmen, F. Barclay, Dr. Steele, Cris Toy lor, Win. DierdorfT, A. Warner; Assessor, J, M. Bacon; Recor der, W. C. Johnson ; School Superintend ent, F. Barclay. PerUanA Election. The municipal election in Portland last Monday resulted in a complete route of ihe CRiicus-fovereignites. Tho "Nationals," went into tho fight with zual and came out with flying colors. The following. is the result : For Mayor A. M. Starr was elected over G. W. Vaughn by 106 majority. Recorder 03" A. Leland, over A. L. Davis, 108 majority. Treasurer II. W. Coibctt, over A. B. Elfeli, 132 majority. Assessor J. M. Breek, over T. G. Robin-on, 104 majority. Marshall S. R. Ilolcomb, over J. Mc Coy, 112 majority. I'oit Warden G. N. Stnnsbury, over Henry lloyt, 80 majority. The following Councilmen wero elected by handsomo majorities G. C. Robins, A. P. Ankenny, C. P. Bacon, T. M. Lakiu, R. Porter, T. J. Holmes, J. C. Carson, Win. King, C. S. Kingsley. All of tho bush i lo ticket was defeated. Things look bad down this way for Mr. Waii's success as judge. We really fear he will have to Wait a while longer for that office. C3rVn hear that poor Ilurbank who ran on Ilibben's ticket for Alderman in Portland last Monday but was badly de feated is whining since the election about Judge Williams, Delazon Smith, Bush, and ihe leaders of ihe clique having been the means of causing tlm split in tho party by periling in heading it to the exclusion of o'lu-rs who want a chance at the pap. Bur bank will flop over to the Softs as soon as he thinks it will pay. CO" The last Standard comes lo hand with its face and hands washed clean, bright and smiling as a May morning. Instead of such rending matter as Buchan an mo'sages and Black letters in favor of the Lecoinpton swindle, (national Democ racy,) it contains a speech of Judge Doug las, with Pennsylvania and Indiana resolves denouncing tho Administration policy and supporting Douglas. Does tho Standard foreshadow a Eugene platform t OCT We have not heard from the Eu gene convention, but we predict they hare had a nice time of il in making a platform on which the fire eating, anli-Sialc Sover eign, Lecomplon swindle wing of the parly can sit down in fellowship with such as loathe and abhor such nigger driving des potism nnd declare their determination to bolt if the plaiform goes so far as to en dorse Buchanan. The fact is, it is simply ridiculous for a man to iry to be anything else than either a Republican or a dirt eater. 0O The Nationals burnt several kegs of powder last Monday night in Portland in rejoicing over their victory. CO" Flour it worth from $15 to 1 17, in SartJ-'riDchsOr , . , Revivals la Ik Ubartfeta. Eight cnluninsof the N. V. Tribune of March 6lh are devoted to a description of an unusual religious Interest lhat is now being fell in Ihe northern and western rflatei. The interest is not confined to any particular section or church bu' pervades all I'rulestanl denominations, and extends iiself from ihe Atlantic to ihe Mississippi. The like has nut been known since the Celebrated revivals in lbs days of Johns than Edwards, and the interest manifested among the people in religion, excels, if possible, lhat which followed the efforts of Whitfield. It is impossible lo arrive at any correct estimate of the number of con versions; but one religious journal noted from its exchanges seven thousand in one week, and the Tribune thinks that fifly thousand a week would bo a moderate est imate. The revival is said to sweep over the country like a prairie fire, and no sooner does it enter one church ia a given city than il operates like a contagion, and toon reaches every congregation. The interest it said lo bo entirely different from that which is ofien productive of wild fren zy nnd indecent confusion, manifesting itself inn deep emotiou and firm resolve that work reformation and generally mark a new era in private character. The Tribune thinks ihe revival has probably been superinduced by ihe la's remarkable money pressure which has ru ined so many families, involved tho people generally in trouble, and directed the pub lic mind lo objects of permanent interest. We havo made a careful survey of the whole field, nnd find the revivnl confined almost exclusively to those vineyards cul. tivaled by what loco fvco editors call " po litical parsons." Henry Ward Ueecher's congregation, fur instance, has been so enlarged by it lhat it will probably bo necessary to enlarge his meeting house. These ' political parsons' have been charged wiih driving religion out of the laud by their political (anti-slavery) preach ing, and wu suggest to 'he black democra cy wli'-ther the present unpiirullelvd aces sion to thu flocks isn't meant as a token of Ihe Divine approval of their "political preaching." Ofoueihing w are sure, if any of the loco foco editors are really converted, they will bo lost lo I he Latter Day democracy. Hsp of Oregon. Mr. Pownall has exhibited lo us a map of the Slate of Oregon, wiih boundaries as designaled by the Constitution, except, perhaps, a small portion the Convention took fiom Washington Territory. Mr. Pwwnall's map is compiled from tho most accurate Government surveys, and is a great improvement over Preston's map. It contains thu boundaries and names of all tho counties, ihe water courses and mills, as well ns the cities and towns of the State. It will ho completed nnd ready for sale some time I lie coming summer or tali, when we should suppose it will meet with a ready snlo. On our trip to ihe Salem Conven tion last week we took nnssatro on the Surprise which left Canomah al 6 o'clock P. M. and reached Salem the next morn ing At 4 o'clock. Tho Surprise is a fast boat, and is well calculated by its cabin arrangements to rnnko tho traveler com fortable, lis table is all ihut a good judge of good cooking would desire (of that we profess lo be a judge), while the officers of the boat, Capt. Cochrane, Homer Holland, cletk, and Sprenger, steward, arc every way calculated to make their bunt popular. We returned on tho Enierprise, oflicerad by Capt. Jamicton, nnd Mr. Perhum as clerk, who are every woy worthy of much praise, for iheir politeness and attention to business. We failed to loam the name of the Ntew ard, but he is just the man to cater to the wants of those who love lo sii down to a good table. We have said this much not for tho purpose of puffing these bouts, us u matter of course, but becausu wo are proud of our Oregon boats, and know that they are never excelled and seldom equall ed on the Mississippi river. We have found the En'erprise, Surprise and Elk to bo all number one bouts, nud we intend to test the virtues of the Clinton some of ihcse days. 03" The Enterprise made a trip to Eu gene City last week for its first lime, nnd brought down a load of freight consisting of flour, bacon, eg!s, dec.

Al a Slate ton ventmn in Indiana a snl or resolutions was adopted chaiging the Administration puny with precisely what ihe " Nationals'' here chares ihe Suli inilrs.

'' . . . The Indiana Suite Sentinel, one of the dirtiest loco foco papers in the Union, which, like Lane's organ, first endorsed Douglas'sm and then flopped over lo Bu channnism, was read out of the parly thus i " R'-solved, That the Indiana State Sen tinel by its prevarications, misrepresenta tions and inconsistnuies, as well as by its betrayal of Democratic faith, and its injua lioe In members of the party, has placed itself outsido of the Democratic organiza tion of ihft State, and forfeited the patron age of the party." Scorching letters wero read from Gov's. Wise and Walker. In Walker's letter ho asks the question : ' Is this the eighty-scu. ond year of our independence, or if it the first year of American monarchy thai is now dawning upon us I" 03 Upon a final vota upon the Army bill in the' Senate the bill was lo-l. A proposition to authorize the President in accept of the services of .1,0011 volunteers to serve for two years was adopted as an amendment in the Army bill, and then the bill was rotcd down by 81 to 10. This da feat of the Administration measure is said to chafe Buchanan sorely, and he will now be compelled lo reinforce tho Utah army by withdrawing the troops from Kansas. The Lecoinpton Constitution is still being debated in Congress. The prospect of its final pssagn ia raiher weakening. The delegates from the 3d judicial district while at Salem nominated Mr. Condon of Linn county for jmlgp, nnd (5. L. Woods of Yamhill county for prosecut ing attorney. 03 We were disappointed in not see ing the " Old Ranger" fiom Yamhill ot the Salem convention. Wn hopo ho has not laid off his Republican armor. 03" That box of "Piimern Hubana" which came to us from Charman ic War ner's through I he agency of Co!.

Mbthod or Sfkaking. Tln-re is speak ing well, speaking easily, speaking juslly and speaking seasonably. It is ofTeiiding agaiusi the last lo speak of entertainments before the indigent, of sound limbs and health before the infirm, of houses and lands beforo one who has not sn much as a dwelling in a word, to speak of your pros perily before the miserable. This conver sation is cruel, and the comparison which naturally rises in them betwixt their condi lion and yours, is excruciating. A Ludicrous Blunder. Tiie following cnpilal story w find in the columns of the New Orleans Sunday Times: " Il is well kr.nwn lo our readers that there appeared in tho Sunday Times, seme two months since, a very full report of General Walker's speech delivered the previous evening on ihe Neutral Ground. The editor of a journal that shall be name, less, nut having printers in his pay suffi cient to fill up his paper, called upon us a day or two afterwards and asked us as a favor ta loan him any of our undistributed matter lhat would occupy his untenanted columns. W readily acceded lo his re. quest and furnished him with General I Walker's speech and lU Rev. Dr..Scott' article on iha F.llicney of Prayer, which ha had been kind enough to send us from San Francisco. By aotnn Strang accident, iho political speech and ilia prayer bi-cumo wuddv l together in the pages of our co temporary, so lhat the reader were led to infer that General Walker, In iho midst of hi fiery address, became suddenly pi oii and held fonh in prayerful tones wor thy of thu Rev.

" Yesterday morning we received among our exchanges B religious paper of gresil auihoiity among a ivrluiu religion sect; which copies the speech wiih the int. rp'da led prayer, and supplies its readers wiih an editorial on the subji-ct. The editor avows his conversion to Walker's Nicara gnan doctrines, ns ho gathers from ihe he rn's speech unniisiukable evidence that the General's peculiar mission is to Protestant ise South America. This is not iho first time that men have been supposed lo sow with grape-shot the seeds of the gospel. 03" Tho following is a spec imc-n of sharp shoo'ing between a coquette and her lover: " You men are angels w hen you sou the maid ; but devils when iho marriage ww is paid."
