' 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.

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.

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 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

A Ludicrous Blunder. Tiie following

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,

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

which copies the speech wiih the int. rp'da

avows his conversion to Walker's Nicara

rn's speech unniisiukable evidence that the
General's peculiar mission is to Protestant
ise South America. This is not iho first
