El)c rcgon Ctrgu 5. IV. Zk Adam i, ... Bditor. ouoon CITY I saturuavTmay 18, Tk VrirnM at Trsllnrs U Orrgaa. Since tho advent of Jo Lane aiel 2 I'd Stevens to this purl of tho const, trcuAOn has assumed entirely a new om ect. It long, gaunt, ami black visage, Unit four weeks ago went muttering and grumbling through our sttects, wiili it Jow down on itH breast, has til at once put on a new free. The fag end of tlio democratic purl which bit hitherto ottached ittclf to Jo Lone's coat tail, and worn a collar under Iticrarat marked 'Jolunr,' has "met with a change," Iiuh dressed jttclf up iii a new suit, put on cliiin shirt, waalied tlio UiImcco Juice from IuJhw , ami conic out with a Maud smile, a "tlod-Lleujou" shako of tint band, and otherwise io changed in vutmrd oppearuuee, that Juluiie deiuocracj today bean ai littlo rescmblauce to Jolano de mocracy of hint month, as a plumed angel bean to the blackeat devil in hull. We bare been watching this disuuiou demon, we have followed on It track, hare noticed IU Ingress and egress from its dark hiding places, Lave had our 'reporter' in its se cret councils, and wo ore thoroughly ac quainted with its signs, its grips, its pass words, its oaths, and its murderous lutcii tioni. We are therefore cnubled to assure our readers thut tlio apparent ' chungo' Is all on the ouuide, fur the purpose ofdeeep tlon thut tbo bod is tlio same, tlio mo tive and object the same, and thut tlio old dirt, ulcer-blotched shirt Is still sticking to the carcass, and that all the old disunion apparel is now underneath the liver of patriotism the ho vo put on to serve the devil in. While it is truo that Lano hates the Government and loathes the Stum ami Stripes as henrtily as he did w hen encour aging rebellion at Washington, and while it is truo that his secession organs litre rejoico as heretofore at ever outr.igo com mitted ou tlio Government by Southern rebels, it is apparent to every ouu that they have become suddenly impressed with tlio necessity of a chaugo of tactics. Iamc, during tlio whole of hist winter, was igno rant, unprincipled, and eowurdly enough himself to believe that tlio .Southern rwUi lion, by assuming a formidable, front, would succeed in coercing tho Government into subjection. Ho looked upon all Northern men as on a par with himself and Diieb- nimii, as nun who would sacrifice principle, sco tlio Americuu (lag hauled down and trampled upon, and tiie Union dismem bered, rather than sucrifieo n dollar in mo ney or a drop of blood to inniutuin whut our fathers bled to secure to their posterity. The threats, tlio braggadocio, tho insults, the thefts, robberies, violence, and armed, ojtcn rebellion of tho Yancey aud Lnne rang in the South, have linnlly uroused the patriotism of tho Union men to such a pitch that it ulTords an omen not easily mistaken by even as stupid a block head as Lane. Tho rush mndo by Northern capi talists to pour their colters unbidden into tho U. S. Treasury, the general uprising of tho masses, carrying along on an Irresisti ble current of public opinion leading poli ticians of all schools, the temporary ignor ing of past political differences, and the grand consolidation of moving millions into it solid phalanx of uncompicrcd and uncon querable patriots, who, at their country's bidding, are ready to draw tho sword uml v fling away the scabbard, have upset all the calculations of offlco-huutiug traitors, based upon tho hoped-for success of tho leaders of rebellion. Tho result is that the seces sion traitors hero luivo tucked ship, and now proless to ba for tho " Union, the Constitution, and the cuforccmei.t of the laws.'1 Lano has hud ofiioo till ho doesn't know how to live without it. lie is too ignorant for anything but driving an ox-team, too lazy for that, and too cowardly to fight for the traitors whom ho has instituted to rebellion. Tho consequence is that he has concluded to mnka unothcr bold push to redeem his political fortunes. He wants to be tho next Governor of Oregon, with poor Curry as State Printer, and such other disunion members of a dynasty around him as Dolf Hannah. Sluter. I O'Mcarn, aud llihhon. This being his ambition, no sooner does his polluted foot tread our soil than neuiiy every secession dog changes Ids whine. All the Luno or gans protest great love for the Union, deny that Lane is a disunionist, or that such a ridiculous thing wos ever thought of as raising tho qucstiou of disunion in Oregon, nnd all this in tlio fuce of the fact that their sheets have hitherto reeked with venom aud gall against tho Government, and ex cuses for treason, cli-iped from Southern secession orpnns. At tbis time, Lano (ns we hear) is passing up the country, walk ing much of his tiino ou foot a good dis tance behind his wagon, shaking hands with ,ll who are willing to touch his hand, '(J ad-blessing them to show how he "love the people of Oregon," extolling tlio " Un to and the Constitution," to show that he is a patriot, and wearing a lurgc patch on the seat of his pants to show the commou people that ho is a plain, limner-like. i ..h i ii t ....... i... ii.- ....... i I uv-ruuia. .-- .., i. .....u i. .

A correspondent in tho Democnt recommends n Slate Con vention of tlio democracy, " for the pur pose of expressing tho views of tho party upon the 1,-reut issues which now agitato tlio Republic." Tho Aih'frtisa heartily endorses the call, for the reason that " tho enemies of our party are busy in endeavor ing to mVWuY and dittrm t us at this time." The only efforts thut have been mado to " dividu and distract" "our party,'" consist solely in thu l.itc Hug-raising, Union dem onstrations all over tlio land. These ef forts hnve been successful in 'dividing' It, this far. They have caused old men, who have nil tho time, through misapprehension or tho Issues, sympathized with rebellion, merely because it originated in tlio South, to shed tours ol patriotic joy when they suw thu old Hag oguin unfurled to the breeze to rully under its folds, and swear anew their allegiance to tho Government which has olwnvs nroteetcd their tirmu.rtit and live, nnd in tho perpetuity of which is yet hound up all their earthly hopes.

He said there wus no cause fur this rebellion, that uo evidence had been preseuted tlmt their institutions were insecure, that the lugitivo bluvc Law was never executed with more firmness than re cently in Ohio. Are we to introduce the .Mexican system into Ilia I'uitctl States? Hud tho enndiduto of thu disunionist been elected, and tho Republicans of the North rebelled, I would huvc used my best efforts to crush them. The first duty of American citizens Is obedienco to tho Constitution and laws, In my opinion. It Is our duty to lay aside all party creeds and platforms, until you have rescued the country from its assailants. J will never aciiuieseo in a warfare upon the constitutional rights or institutions or the South; if any attempt bo mado to invade those r klits, or invite civil insurrection against them, I would bo the first to rush to the rescue; yet they must distinctly un derstnnd, that I will never acoulesce in their Invasion of our constitutional rights. It is clearly npiinst constitutional freedom to cru.-h tho United Slates out of tho map of Christendom.
