In ihii paper will he found a cull for a
'Territorial Convention of Republican del
egatcs it Salem, April 2.1. 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

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

centers of political attract ion.

against a derailing competition of im Hi

our water power, digged out our mines,
and built tip our cities, besides whitening

that tilrcarly reaches into every port of en

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,

is the policy of the Republican party;

a system of plunder, a reign of terrorism,
and io nb the people one hy one of consti

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

a plalf irm of "leaving the people perfectly

(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.
Iv embraced by the on sent, would I'-rce
upon the rural districts, Postmisler with
no iiualilicatioii except ibal of democratic
loyalty those whose personal character
repelled the personal contact ot worthy
citizens those who conhl not obtain, in
the post towns upon u hichthev are obtrml
ed, a single vo'e for the rivsl petty mid leant
honorable olhee.
"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.

We havohud I lie coldest weather this
