The wire pullers who got up mill man j aged the Corvallis Convention have nil tin time trii'il to make ignorant people believe tlmt it was a democratic convention, nnd j tlmt the members were nil Union men und i not secessionists. We have liefoiv stripped the mask from these men, nml shown them to be seeessionists und not democrats, nml I that a wry ilirty nml dishonorable set too, in trying to lie out of their true prineiples. j We rail intention to n few extracts from j the lbdlcs Mountaineer, the editor ol whifh was a delegate to the Corvallis Cor. vontion, ami went home disgusted with the lousy crowd. The editor, after saying that one hall of the Convention were actuated by " mi higher mot!)?. thou i gnnlii thirst for t'u- ,ioi't," gives the following portrait of its lieeu treated just as we knew he was to lie tuTorc the spoekled herd met at Corvallis, nml for reasons that we understood full well The contemptuous manner in which lending seeessionists generally speak of his merits shows us that traitors nre generally too ignorant and stupid to nppreeiate talent they couldn't see the dill'ereneo lietween the singing of it .Jenny I.iud nnd the braving ol n jackass. There uro not live of them in Oregon who fan tell the difl'crciice In tween the brainless clVusious of the Port land Advertiser nnd the most elegant pits sages that occur In the I'nlon. There is no better sign that n part v is in the last stages of dissolution, than its thiowin overboard the men who have fought its battles, nnd filling their places with up starts who have no claims to favor, nml who have perhaps been its life long enemies.

Ames Kendall, in a late letter to Mr Lincoln, after stating that the Northern demoeraey had stood by the South, even tip to the assault on Sumter, opposing " co ercion" thus "unwittingly rendering mate, rial service to rebellion," says: " Hut, when convinced by the thmnlir of the rebel cannon and the tlames of Fort Sumter, that revolution, nml not security or redress within the Union, was the obji-ct ' of the Southern leaders, they did all that honest men could do to retrieve their error, ' and notwithstanding their political outage ' nism on minor points, the Democratic par ty of the North rallied around your Ad-, ministration as ti e only means of saving i t'leir country. Your tumics abound with tin m; none are more ready to sacrifice all tlmt is dear, ewn l.fe, for the preservation of the Union nnd the Constitution, and to them it is cheering, though but jut, that you have recently given thein a repivsuita-' tion in your Cabinet. lie assured, sir, that t!i IK-mocr.it party of the North, with the exception of a few sctni-tr.iltors whom they repudiate. ! cordially aj.pnne the objects of the war ngunsi reoei;:ou as neeiareii iy you in your public avowals.

Tim advocates of the re bellion asked the Hritisll government to raise the blockade, alleging lis a .sufficient nuthorily for doing so, its inefficiency. In their extravagant speeches they represent ed that there was little or no difficulty in running the blockade- that the way was entiri Iv oneu - that there was no real block- I ado in fact, but the whole thing was a sham. Tlio gentleman under the sense of being in a very awkward predicament w hen asked, if thin was the case, why should the bloikado be considered a griev ance, one so great as to justify Knghuul in going to war over it? Mr. Porster, a young member, and large inanufaetiirer in the north of llugland, made a speech that was loudly cheered, and put a ipiietus on the blockade question. He said that upon examining; the returns made by Yancey, Maun, nnd Mason, that instead of t'lOO, us claimed, only ll'JJ ves.;eU had run the blockade. Of these IP. had escaped be fore the blockade w as declared hear, henr Oil hud left before the fifteen days of grace luul expireil. Cm the rest, 1 tin were coasters, engaged, ns Mason had termed il, in a quasi-inland voyage, ami which would invo no claim to be considered ns coming within the meaning ol vessels running the blockade. Out of the II'.'J escapes, (here were only P.I real ones, nml l,"i of these were to American ports nml only one to Liverpool. I Cheers. To show the i llieieii- y of the blockade at Chnrleiton, it was only necessary to state that the Nashville re, minion in the liailior for nearly Tour weeks with Mason and Slide)! on board, trying to get out, but was unable to do so During the hist war with America, our blockade of their ports was its effective as of the delegates to put out a ticket wliieh !,".v ,'n"",r.v 111 ""' W,1'M l',M,M ,n"ko 11 could not be charged with the term ol blockade, and nevertheless no less than o 1 (1 privateers, during a period of three years, ' traitor It being just n, easy to charge Nultner " with the term of ' traitor' " ns it would Malone, of course this young candidate means nothing more or less than it was ii termiued not to rim men who could b jitit'ii acciisid of being traitors. Now Ni well o the Mountaineer says that w he doesn't charge that ull tho men on the ticket are traitors, thev are "tuck on. all uecrj .'a He" to traitor.
